The graphics card industry—like the broader PC space, mobile, and pretty much anything that relies upon memory chips—is having a bad time. It looks like cards with high amounts of video RAM and relatively low prices are getting hard to find, though Nvidia and its partners are offering reassurances. Zotac, a Singapore-based add-in board manufacturer, is less optimistic. On the official Zotac store for Korea, an alarming message to customers was posted concerning price increases. “The current situation is extremely serious—serious enough to raise concerns about the very survival of graphics card manufacturers and distributors going forward,” according to one translator who posted on Twitter/X (spotted by PC Gamer ). Google machine translation worded it slightly differently: “The current situation is serious enough to worry about the existence of graphics card manufacturers and distributors in the future.” The representative went on to say that “stable supply going forward may no longer be feasible. […] Not only has the price of the RTX 5090 increased sharply, but the price hike for the 5060 is also substantial.” Consumer-level graphics cards, especially high-performance models with lots of video memory, are being hit with a double whammy. “AI” data center construction is gobbling up all the memory chip output in the market, causing RAM prices to skyrocket and affecting GPU production as well. Meanwhile, GPUs are also one of the most efficient ways to run “AI” compute functions, so Nvidia and its OEM partners appear to be prioritizing high-profit industrial graphics cards over consumer models. Earlier this month, an Asus representative was quoted as saying that the company had canceled production of the RTX 5070 Ti , which is considered the best bang-for-your-buck in the series with its powerful GPU and 16GB of video RAM. Asus quickly walked back that statement, but the 5070 Ti, 5060 Ti 16GB, and 5090 remain incredibly hard to find , with scalpers charging as much as double retail prices. Nvidia has reportedly prioritized the 5080 (with 16GB of memory like the 5070 Ti, but 30% more expensive with its slightly faster processor, memory bandwidth, and more CUDA cores), but even that card is expected to rise in price. Add-in board producers like Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI will probably be able to weather this kind of storm as they have other product lines to rely on. But Zotac is a far smaller company, originally spun off from V-Tech back in the 90s. It sells only graphics cards, mini PCs, and a relatively small range of industrial workstations, plus the Zone handheld . All of these products will need to account for more expensive memory. The company’s alarming concerns over the “survival” or “existence” of smaller manufacturers is not overblown.

Fans of co-op beat-‘em-ups and fictional bass players who kind of suck as human beings might want to mark March 3 on their calendars. That’s when Scott Pilgrim EX is set to hit PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Steam. Developer and publisher Tribute Games announced the release date in a new trailer, which also revealed two more playable characters: Matthew Patel (a member of the League of Evil Exes) and Robot-01, a creation of the Katayanagi Twins. One more fighter will be unveiled in the coming weeks. Tribute worked with Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley on an original storyline for the game. After Scott’s bandmates in Sex Bob-omb are kidnapped and demons descend on Toronto, Scott and Ramona Flowers set out to save the day with some unexpected allies. Anamanaguchi are making new music for the game, after providing the soundtrack for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game way back when. I’m a fan of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and I dug Tribute's last two games, Marvel Cosmic Invasion and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge . So it's safe to say I'll be trying out Scott Pilgrim EX in a few weeks.

The big game is one of the few instances now in the US where most people gather around the TV to watch the live event together. While the teams playing in Super Bowl 2026 are the true stars of the show (and Bad Bunny , of course), your TV is a pretty important part of the puzzle of putting together an excellent Super Bowl party. Maybe you’ve been thinking about replacing an aging set, or you’re itching for a full refresh of your home theater setup — either way, you’ll want to try to get a good deal on a new TV. Thankfully, the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl can be a great time to shop for a new TV. Generally, TV prices steadily decrease after a new model comes out. Some 2026 TV models were announced at CES and are forthcoming things year, making now a good time to look for discounts on 2025 sets. Aside from the holiday shopping season, now is one of the best times of the year to save on a TV. Here, we’ve curated the best Super Bowl TV deals we could find this year, from already affordable sets discounted even further to high-end OLEDs that are hundreds of dollars off. Super Bowl 2026 TV deals for less than $500 You can easily find solid 1080p and 4K TV sets within this budget-friendly price range. What you’ll be more limited in is size — most TV deals under $500 we’re seeing right now are on sets up to 55 inches. There are a few 65- and 75-inch models in there, but the pickings are slim.

Of course, that all comes at steeper prices — it can be difficult to find a good OLED set for less than $1,000, even on sale. LG 55-inch B5 OLED 4K smart TV for $847 ($50 off) Samsung 65-inch Class OLED S95F 4K smart TV for $2,298 (23 percent off) Sony 77-inch Bravia XR A95L OLED 4K smart TV for $3,498 (30 percent off) Super Bowl 2026 TV deals for $500 and up This will likely be the sweet spot for many people when it comes to TV features, performance and price.

Here’s one thing I really, really, really believe: everyone should own a good power bank. Why? Because you never know when your phone’s battery will fail on you, and it sucks when it happens when you’re far from home. It’s a safety net. Peace of mind. And it doesn’t have to cost very much, though I also believe it’s worth spending up a bit . I actually own several power banks, but the one that’s usually in my bag is the Anker Zolo power bank . Let me tell you about this bad boy. Gabriela Vatu This is a 20,000mAh capacity power bank, which is pretty run-of-the-mill these days. You’d only go down to 10,000mAh if you really needed something ultra-tiny and/or below $20. For most people, a capacity of 20,000mAh is perfect. It’s more than enough to keep my smartphone charged all day (even while playing Hearthstone ). My Galaxy S24+ phone has a battery capacity of 4,900mAh, so the Anker Zolo should charge it about four times over in optimal conditions. (I say “should” because most power banks have deceptive mAh ratings ). I’ve used it to recharge my earbuds while I’m out on the town for the day, and I’ve also used it to quickly juice up my Kindle when it’s low. That doesn’t happen often since Kindles last forever , but I digress… This Power Bank is my favorite Anker Zolo 20,000mAh USB-C Power Bank As for charging speed, the Anker Zolo provides 30 watts of power delivery, which isn’t the fastest out there but plenty fast for me. I haven’t empirically timed it, but Anker says this power bank can get a phone from 0% to 50% in about half an hour, and that matches my experience. So, if I have several different power banks, why is the Anker Zolo my favorite of the bunch? Because it has a built-in 6-inch USB-C cable. That’s so convenient because it means I don’t have to carry a separate cable with me everywhere I go. The only time I pack a separate cable is when I know I’ll be charging multiple devices at once (like on a road trip), which is possible via the power bank’s USB-C and USB-A ports. That means up to three devices charging simultaneously. Gabriela Vatu The cherry on top? That built-in cable doubles as a carrying strap. I was cautious at first because, well, come on. Can a cable really hold this 0.8-pound power bank up? Won’t the weight damage the cable? Or even snap? Of course, none of that happened. I’ve taken my Anker Zolo to several concerts while hooked to my belt loop and the cable held and stayed plugged in without issue. I have to admit, this power bank isn’t the lightest one out there. But given the capacity, that’s perfectly understandable. If you’re looking for this kind of design but hoping for less weight, check out the 10,000mAh variant that’s lighter and smaller . For me, though? The 20,000mAh Anker Zolo power bank is simply perfect. Get the Anker Zolo on Amazon
