Bungie: Marathon server slam/open preview weekend announced for Feb 26.

Business: Take-Two CEO emphasizes AI integration for efficiency, while Microsoft reached a new 3-year union contract with Blizzard QA testers.

Nvidia reportedly won’t release any new RTX GPUs in 2026 Tom’s Hardware, according to The Information. This is significant because Nvidia’s RTX 50 series Super refresh is supposedly design complete Tom’s Hardware, but the company has apparently decided to hold off on launching it until 2027.

This news is noteworthy since it means there will be a longer-than-usual gap in consumer GPU releases from Nvidia, the market leader in graphics cards, despite having refreshed models ready to go.

The top story today for PC builders is the escalating “RAM Crisis,” which has reached a tipping point where experts are now advising enthusiasts to buy pre-built systems rather than building their own to save money.

Key Developments for Today

The RAM Apocalypse: DDR5 memory prices have surged, with some kits now costing nearly a third of the price of a mid-range gaming PC. This has triggered a “hoarding” phase for older, slower DDR4 RAM, subsequently driving up the cost of older platforms like AMD’s AM4.
GPU Strategy Shifts: To counter the high cost of new components, builders are increasingly repurposing old GPUs (like the RTX 3060 Ti) for specialized tasks such as home AI chatbots or media transcoding.
Intel “Nova Lake” Leaks: Major specifications for Intel’s next-generation B960 and Z970 platforms have leaked, featuring an all-new chipset category and up to 48 PCIe lanes.
NVIDIA 50-Series Troubles: Reports indicate that NVIDIA is investigating widespread black screen and BSOD issues affecting the new RTX 50-series cards, with a driver fix currently in development. – Gizmodo +4
