China is apparently blocking the import and sales of the 5090D V2, which only has 24GB VRAM, not enough for many AI agents.

Now the question is what Nvidia will do with all the cards they already produced and shipped out.

My guess: half will go to the black market, the rest will be further cut down and then reused for a 5080Ti

Are the 5090Ds using a different chip or is it a BIOS block that caps the performance? Because if it's the later, Nvidia can get those GPUs back and sell them in the rest of the world as regular 5090s.

Sony reportedly pulls back from PlayStation PC ports

The guys at PCGamer have taken the news perfectly fine and they're not salty at all...

Sony retreats from PC gaming, robbing us of maybe 4 games

Despite the vibe of the editorial, there are some valid points in it.

I tend to agree with their view, on a personal level.  The ps5 doesn't release that many new games, plus the cost of online.  I would buy their games on Steam, but have zero plans to buy a ps6.  Not when 99% of the lineup between the Playstation and Steam are identical.  Missing out on a few games isn't a huge hit, my backlog is massive anyway.  I personally think this is a mistake by Sony.  I can't imagine releasing their games 18 months post ps5 launch would damage their brand and only would be free money.  But whatever, Sony can do what they want.  I have plenty of PC games that need playing.

Indeed, the number of exclusives on consoles isn't that big anymore to make a difference to most players, and with the amount of games that launch first on PC to make use (and some also abuse) the Early Access strategy, you can make an argument that there are many PC timed exclusives that console players need to wait for.
