NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 10 Pascal GPUs turn 10 years old

NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 10 series has now reached its 10 year mark, and it remains one of the most memorable GPU families the company has ever released. The Pascal lineup arrived in May 2016, before RTX branding, ray tracing cores, Tensor cores, DLSS, and neural rendering became part of the normal PC gaming conversation. At the time, the focus was much simpler: higher frame

Biostar says its Computex AMD boards are refreshed 800 series models, not next generation designs

Biostar has clarified that its upcoming AMD motherboard showcase at Computex 2026 will focus on refreshed 800 series boards, not a new generation of AMD motherboards. The clarification matters because Biostar’s earlier wording used “next gen” language, which raised questions about whether the company was preparing early boards for AMD’s future Ryzen Zen 6 processors. Biostar has now said that is not the case.
