Name a single game that makes use of 3D TVs like you can for PhysX.
Most people don't care about PhysX because it only affects old games. That doesn't mean it's not relevant to cover.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series Blackwell reviews
- Thread starter Scott_Arm
- Start date
Ironically Batman Arkham Asylum had great 3D Vision support, too. And nVidia had support for 3D TVs:
He is only "covering" it because he can farm clicks. It was not a topic in his reviews in the last 10 years or so.
It may have supported it but it didn't make any serious use of it. The game is fine without it. PhysX not so much.
It hasn't been a topic because no new PhysX games have come out and Nvidia still supported it. What exactly did you want him to cover? "PhysX still mostly dead, but you can still play PhysX titles!"?

Oh noes, DF is farming clicks too!

Laptop reviews are out. Seems they went for minor power savings instead of performance increases. The mobile 4090 is often faster than the 5090.
More memory across the board wouldn't ever hurt, but you know what, this table sorta looks like - dare i say it - actual logical progression between model numbers..

It's either because the CPU with the 5090 is slower than than CPU with the 4090, or because the 5090 model is 160w, while 4090 is 175w. In purely GPU limited scenarios, or when TDP is normalized, the 5090 laptop is faster (by 30% in Cyberpunk path tracing).
You forgot option "laptop x gives GPU more tdp than laptop y when both have same total tdp"
TDP allocation is dynamic in laptops today
nVidia put the GPU part of PhysX under open source:

This is for 4.0+ though I think? Which wasn't a problem.
Doesn't need to be 5090 or even 5080 it seems
The failure condition for this would not be limited to 5080/5090, but it should be less likely if the card is drawing less power. But even on a 5070 a bad connection could cause too much current on a single conductor and the card would not detect a problem. So while this shouldn't happen under normal circumstances, if it does you won't be notified. Better train your dog to alert when he smells melting plastic.

5060 Ti reviews are out, 16GB only so far (for all the newest drama anyone interested can just look at other 8GB cards performance there).

The target audience for the 5060Ti uses AM4/AM5 motherboards that still have PCIe 3 or 4. The 5060Ti being PCIe-5 x8, makes the card perform less in some games, if it uses the old buses:

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti PCI-Express x8 Scaling
The new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti uses the modern PCI-Express 5.0 bus interface, but supports only an 8-lane configuration. This is just half the bandwidth of the higher-end models, which run at x16. Are you in trouble with an older system, which only supports running at PCIe 4.0?
That’s an understatement. It’s utterly pathetic.

One thing though is if one were in the camp of 8GB being not enough should they not also assign considerable value/progress to 8GB->16GB?
