Two boats filled with humanitarian supplies travelling from Mexico to Cuba have been located days after contact with them was lost in the Caribbean.
The Mexican Navy said one of its aircraft had spotted the vessels some 80 nautical miles (148km) from the Cuban capital, Havana.
A spokesman for the Nuestra (Our) America Convoy said earlier that the crew were safe. Neither he nor the Mexican Navy gave any explanation about why the Friendship and Tiger Moth had disappeared.
The boats are among several vessels that have sought to carry supplies to the island nation since the US imposed an oil blockade in January, prompting a chronic fuel shortage.
They departed Isla Mujeres, in Mexico's easternmost state of Quintana Roo, on 20 March, and had been due to arrive at their destination on Monday or Tuesday.
There are nine crew members - from Poland, France, Cuba and the US - on board.
The vessels are continuing their journey to [the Cuban capital] Havana," the Nuestra America Convoy spokesman said.
The convoy remains on track to complete its mission - delivering urgently needed humanitarian aid to the Cuban people."
In a post on X, the Mexican Navy it was in radio contact with the boats and was sending a vessel of its own to the area "to provide support".
Volunteers and non-governmental organisations have largely spearheaded efforts to deliver humanitarian aid to Cuba since US President Donald Trump's oil embargo on the communist-run country began.
The UN has warned Cuba faces "dire" supply shortages, with more than 50,000 surgeries cancelled in Cuba as fuel supply constraints and ageing infrastructure have caused multiple nationwide blackouts.
Coupled with shortages of food and medicine, the situation has triggered rare public dissent in the form of street protests.
Earlier in the week, the Cuban government celebrated after receiving another boat carrying 14 tonnes of humanitarian aid to the island.
The vessel, dubbed "Granma 2.0" after the boat in which [the late Communist leader] Fidel Castro returned to Cuba to launch its 1950s revolution, delivered solar panels, medicines, baby formula, bicycles and food.
Since the US seized former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January and cut off the supply of oil from Venezuela - a staunch Cuban regional ally - Trump has turned his attention to the Caribbean island.
He has threatened tariffs on any country supplying oil to Cuba, has spoken of a "friendly takeover" of the nation and has urged it to "make a deal" or face unspecified consequences.
The Cuban government has confirmed it is in talks with the US to resolve their differences, but has insisted that "the political system of Cuba is not up for negotiation".
On Friday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the system in Cuba had to change if it wanted a better future.
You need to change the people in charge, you need to change the system that runs the country, and you need to change the economic model that it's following," Rubio told reporters in France, where he attended a meeting of foreign ministers from the most advanced Western economies, known as the G7.
The US secretary of state denied there was a naval blockade around the island.
The reason why Cuba doesn't have oil and fuel is because they want it for free," Rubio told reporters before leaving Paris.
And people don't give away oil and fuel for free on a regular basis, unless it was the Soviet Union subsidising them or Maduro subsidising them.
And the reason why they're having blackouts is because they have equipment from the 1950s and '60s that they never maintained or kept up."

The LG G5 was one of the best-performing TVs of last year, delivering superb picture quality with gorgeous colors and strong contrast. It was also one of the best options for gaming, with a full suite of features and razor-sharp performance, as well as an intuitive smart TV platform. While it was a premium TV, it was good value for what it delivered.
Its successor, the LG G6, has some mighty big shoes to fill. Earlier this year, I saw the LG G6 and LG G5 side-by-side at a demo event, but now the G6 has now arrived in our testing labs for longer-term testing.
I still use the G5 regularly for testing discs in my Blu-ray Bounty column, so I put the G5 and G6 next to each other, and compared the two using some 4K Blu-rays I regularly use for testing TVs, with a signal splitter from our trusty Panasonic DP-UB820 Blu-ray player.
Equipped with a new-gen Primary Tandem RGB OLED 2.0 panel, the LG G6 promised a brightness upgrade over its predecessor, and it’s delivered. The G6 registered 2,471 nits of peak HDR brightness (10% window) in Filmmaker Mode, compared to the G5’s 2,268 nits.
While this is only an incremental increase, fullscreen HDR brightness (100% window) in Filmmaker Mode on the G6 clocked in at 455 nits, which is a huge jump from the G5’s 331 nits.
But what does this mean for pictures? In brighter scenes, such as a series of clips of snow from the Spears & Munsil UHD Benchmark’s demo material, the G6 has higher brightness in fullscreen parts of the picture.
While the G5 actually appears brighter in some peak areas, such as the snow on the fence in the photo above, this is likely due to intentional Filmmaker Mode tweaks, where G6 pulls back on the vibrancy. This results in a more balanced picture, with no over-exertion of bright tones, which is how the G5 can appear at times.
One area where the G6 shows a real upgrade over the G5 is reflection handling. While the G6 still shows some mirror-like reflections, they are significantly reduced compared to the G5.
Watching darker scenes from movies such as The Batman, Alien: Romulus and Dark City in bright conditions, with overhead lights on in our testing lab, the G5 actually has higher perceived brightness, but the obvious mirror-like reflections make viewing difficult.
The G6, despite appearing dimmer, is much better at reducing mirror-like reflections, leaving a cleaner and more distration-free image, as is clear in the photo above. The G6 even looks better than the Samsung S95F's matte anti-reflection screen in bright rooms, balancing the pros and cons the two TV's approaches to beating reflections.
Using The Batman, one of my go-to discs for contrast testing because it's so damn dark, both the G6 and G5 demonstrate very strong contrast with a great balance between light and dark tones. As Batman walks through the halls and rooms of Mayor Mitchell’s house, the lamps on the wall and flash bulbs of cameras have a nice punch on both TVs and contrast well with the dark walls and floors.
Where the G6 impresses is that not only do peak areas on screen, such as the aforementioned lamps, look brighter than the G5 but blacks are deeper resulting in more natural looking contrast.
The G5’s dark tones appear raised in comparison, so while the G5 may appear the more eye-catching on the surface, the G6 appears to be the more accurate result. This follows what LG told me about how the more restrained Filmmaker Mode on the G6 is “by design” in the pursuit of accuracy.
Both TVs demonstrate great shadow detail, with objects and textures in dark areas on screen still visible. As Bruce enters the Batcave, rocks and steel in the roof are still defined on both TVs and again, although it’s marginally more visible on the G5, the G6 strikes that nice balance between detail and black accuracy.

And now, another former Dodgers World Series title holder has ended his own playing career, though he was only a member of one of the franchise’s championship teams.
Former Los Angeles Dodgers Champion, 5-Time Gold Glover Jason Heyward Announces Retirement
After 31 years, 16 major league seasons,” Jason Heyward wrote in an Instagram caption announcing his retirement on Friday. “I’d like to take one last time to show love to the game of baseball as a player.”
Heyward is best remembered for his time with a different pair of other National League contenders, as he played a combined 12 seasons with the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs. He earned an All-Star nod, five Gold Glove Awards and three seasons of Most Valuable Player Award votes for those teams. And he was a key member of the 2016 Cubs team that ended a lengthy championship drought.
But Heyward also played for the St. Louis Cardinals, Houston Astros and San Diego Padres in his career, and he was a member of the Dodgers’ 2024 championship team.
Jason Heyward Academy Releases Statement On Los Angeles Dodgers Tenure After Retirement
Heyward was most notably with the Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals before creating history with the Chicago Cubs in the 2016 World Series, helping end one of the longest championship droughts in sports,” a release sent directly to Forbes by the Jason Heyward Baseball Academy read. “He added a second championship ring with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024, where he was valued for his leadership and for his support of younger players on the team.”
On the field, Heyward appeared in just 63 games for the Dodgers in 2024 and he was released late in the regular season. But he played in 124 games for the 2023 Dodgers team after signing a minor league contract and then making the Opening Day roster out of camp.
In his two combined campaigns with Los Angeles, Heyward slashed just .249/.322/.446, averages that are in line with the rest of his career. And as the baseball world celebrates his standout tenure now that he’s announced its end, Dodgers fans have good reason to remember his contributions to a season that launched baseball’s latest dynasty.

Hisense has taken the wraps off its first “mainstream” TV to use RGB MiniLED technology – and revealed that for a limited time, anyone who buys one of its ground-breaking TVs will also be able to claim a 55-inch version of Hisense’s design-led CanvasTV series.
While much more affordable than the UX RGB MiniLED debutantes Hisense brought to market in the last half of last year, the new UR9 series are still the most premium TVs in Hisense’s 2026 mainstream TV range. So they’ve still got some eye-catching specifications to their name, making them potentially key models in the new wave of RGB MiniLED (AKA MicroRGB or Mini RGB) TVs sweeping the AV world this year.
The UR9s will be available in 65, 75, 85 and 100-inch screen sizes, with pricing starting at $3,499.99 for the 65-inch model and rising to an actually not bad $8,999.99 for the 100-inch model. The new RGB MiniLED technology at their hearts means that instead of shining white or blue light through red, green and blue filters or Quantum Dot layers, the backlight itself is formed of individual tiny red, green and blue LEDs.
This has the potential to deliver significantly wider color gamuts (Hisense claims 100% of the most extreme BT.2020 color gamut for the UR9 series) and more brightness/light efficiencies than you get with the traditional LED lighting approach. The RGB MiniLED approach is also claimed to emit almost 50% less of the potentially harmful blue light than regular MiniLED TVs produce.
As well as the extra light control afforded by the dedicated red, green and blue LEDs, the UR9 carries a local dimming system able to deliver different amounts of light to different areas of any given image. The capabilities of this system are going to need to be on point given that the UR9s are claimed to achieve extremely high peak brightness levels of 4,000 nits. Hisense has not yet confirmed how many dimming zones each UR9 screen size will support.
The UR9 screens all wear anti-reflection and glare-free coatings, and support an unusual native 180Hz refresh rate all the way up to a full 4K resolution. Their gaming chops are apparent, too, in the way they provide a DisplayPort 2.1 connector alongside a trio of full-bore HDMI 2.1 ports.
The UR9s’ pictures are controlled by Hisense’s Hi-View AI Engine RGB processor, and are joined by a promising 4.1.2-channel sound system that’s been tuned by premium audio brand Devialet. Similar audio systems have sounded good on previous Hisense TVs, so hopefully this one will continue the trend.
Hisense is offering a major sweetener to anyone who buys a UR9 TV between today (March 26) and April 22, too, in the form of a free 55-inch Hisense Canvas TV model. These sets, which feature reflection-free screens, wooden frames and a variety of built-in digital art screen savers so that they look more like paintings than TVs when they’re in standby mode, would cost $690 at the time of writing if bought separately.
To take advantage of the free Canvas TV pre-order deal in the U.S., you’ll need to get your order in before April 22 using this link. The UR9s will ship/go on wide sale a day after the pre-order offer closes, on April 23.

BYD’s 2026 Denza D9 will begin pre‑sales on March 29, 2026, according to official information reported by Autohome. The updated MPV continues to offer both plug‑in hybrid (PHEV) and battery‑electric (BEV) variants with hardware changes focused on energy storage and charging performance.
Exterior revisions focus on the front end. The new D9 carries a new front grille design with enhanced three‑dimensional layering relative to the outgoing model, while retaining its overall MPV form. Reported dimensions are 5250 mm in length, 1960 mm in width, and 1900 mm in height, with a 3110 mm wheelbase. These measurements align with the previous generation and confirm that there are no major dimensional changes in the update.
For the PHEV version, the D9 uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine paired with dual electric motors. The powertrain comprises a 115 kW combustion engine, a 200 kW front electric motor, and a 45 kW rear electric motor. CLTC‑rated pure‑electric range exceeds 400 km for the PHEV model, and reported fuel consumption is 6.35 L/100 km.
The BEV variants include a 340 kW front motor and, in all‑wheel‑drive form, an additional 70 kW rear motor, with pure‑electric range options of 750 km and 800 km according to MIIT filing.
All Denza D9 variants are equipped with BYD’s Short Blade 2.0 battery, designed for high‑power applications and fast charging. Official figures cite charging from 10 % to 70 % in about 5 minutes and from 10 % to 97 % in about 9 minutes under typical conditions. Cold-weather tests show that at –20 °C, charging from 20 % to 97 % takes approximately 12 minutes, and at –30 °C, the time increases by about three minutes. Both plug-in hybrid and pure electric versions benefit from the battery, with the PHEV offering over 400 km of pure electric range and the EV model achieving up to 800 km.
The updated model is confirmed to adopt the latest generation of BYD’s “God’s Eye” 5.0 advanced driving assistance system, as reported.
Additional technical upgrades on the BEV side have also been exposed. According to CarNewsChina, an upcoming update to the Denza D9 EV reveals a more powerful 340 kW (456 hp) front electric motor, up from earlier versions, with a combined system output of 410 kW (550 hp) on all-wheel-drive models. OEM battery specifications and range for this revised EV are pending official release.
As CarNewsChina reported, the D9 recorded 300,000 cumulative global deliveries by late 2025, reaching that volume faster than any previous new energy MPV and accounting for approximately 60 per cent of China’s high‑end NEV MPV market at the time. The model was also reported as slated for introduction in Europe under the Denza brand.
In Australia, the 2026 Denza D9 is on sale as an all‑electric people mover with pricing from 85,990 USD (base front‑wheel‑drive) to 95,990 USD (all‑wheel‑drive) before on‑road costs, and claimed WLTP‑cycle range figures near 520 km.
In the Philippines, Denza officially entered the market in early 2026 with the D9 priced at PHP 4,298,000 (77,400 USD) at launch before introductory discounts, serving as the brand’s first offering in the country’s premium people mover segment

Bowers & Wilkins relationship continues in latest Philips OLED 911
Philips' latest top-tier TV, the OLED 911, builds its feature set around the same Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 panel as LG's OLED G6.
However, Philips offers ongoing Bowers & Wilkins audio, offering an out-of-the-box audio experience that remains untouchable.
Philips has just revealed its 2026 flagship OLED set: the OLED 911, which updates the previous OLED 910 model with some upgraded features.
Principal among those is the latest 'Primary RGB Tandem 2.0' panel, utilising the core technology of what you'll find in the LG OLED G6 – but with Philips' own processing spin via its 10th Gen P5 AI Engine processor.
This new Philips panel offers Dolby Vision 2 Max, however, giving it certification that's a step beyond its LG peer.
But there's one ongoing relationship that maintains Philips' quiet dominance among the best OLED TVs. And that comes down to out-of-the-box audio quality.
For many years, Philips has partnered with Bowers & Wilkins to deliver integrated sound systems in its top TVs. And the OLED 911 comes with a 3.1 setup, neatly set below the panel in a "lozenge" enclosure.
How that appears differs depending on set size, with the smaller 48- and 55-inch models offering one visual, the 65- and 77-inch models a different appearance.
Whichever size, however, you'll get a left/centre/right arrangement, comprising "two new 45mm mid-range glass-fibre drivers plus a 19mm titanium dome tweeter".
The rear of the set, meanwhile, has a "dedicated decoupled bass enclosure featuring a new slimmer 75mm subwoofer supported by four, force-cancelling, passive radiators".
All of which adds up to bigger, bolder sound than many of the best TVs can muster – unless, of course, you add one of the best soundbars alongside. Which is something the Philips OLED 911 simply doesn't require. You can add a separate sub if you wish, too.
There's a lot more on the OLED 911's list too. The inclusion of Ambilight on all sides is a given, with support for the new smart home AmbiScape expansion feature.
Unlike its predecessor, the latest set also delivers four HDMI 2.1 ports – meaning all four are the latest standard, not just two of them. That's great for gamers, offering the full suite of VRR and ALLM, without the eARC port 'eating up' a slot unnecessarily.
In addition to the OLED 911, the Philips OLED 951 (pictured above) – available in 65- and 77-inch screen sizes only – is the model to do away with this integrated sound system, for those who prefer such a setup, while offering a more powerful 'Dual' processor.
The Philips OLED 911 will be available from June, while the OLED 951 will follow in September. Pricing is yet to be confirmed, but will follow in the near future.
It looks as though Philips has just seriously upped its OLED game with these two models. From top Bowers & Wilkins sound quality, to four HDMI ports, Dolby Vision 2 Max for improved motion handling, and its unique Ambilight upsell.

Philips AmbiScape can turn your whole room into an immersive mecca
After a trial in 2025, Philips AmbiScape – which extends Ambilight from the rear of a TV to work in tandem with up to four additional E27 smart bulbs – will roll out for the full 2026 range (Philips 8000 series and above).
Gamers, in particular, will love this immersive technology, as it also ties-in with Philips Evnia gaming monitors – providing a full-room immersive lighting experience with minimal latency.
There's one TV brand which has a really impressive unique selling point. Philips' higher-end sets come with something that's called Ambilight.
Its purpose? To project an image beyond a display's edges and onto surrounding walls, creating greater immersion but also reducing eye-strain as a result.
It's long been one of Philips' brilliant selling points, giving customers yet more reason to consider its sets among the best OLED TVs available. Although they're region-limited – you can't buy in the States, for example.
Now, however, Philips is taking Ambilight to the next level with an upgrade feature called AmbiScape – and it sure looks like one great TV-meets-smart-home tie-in.
AmbiScape goes beyond the TV's Ambilight light source and can also interact with up to four additional smart bulbs – such as those in lamps or main lights.
This announcement comes in tandem with Philips' latest TV reveal, with the new OLED 911 top-end model one of the sets able to offer the AmbiScape feature.
This isn't limited to Philips Hue either: you'll be able to make this work with brands "including Wiz, NanoLeaf, Philips Hue and IKEA". And there could be even more added in the future.
Initially that's for E27 smart bulb types only, as they can offer "a latency of less than 0.5 seconds" for rapid, in-sync response that makes AmbiScape feel like an extension of Ambilight.
This isn't the first time AmbiScape has been in the news, however, with an early trial available on a small number of 2025 Philips models. For 2026, however, the "full Philips TV series from the 8000 Series and above will feature AmbiScape".
It looks like a feature that gamers, in particular, will love – especially as the system can extend the effect of Philips Evnia gaming monitors, too.

The annual Game Developers Conference (GDC) kicks off this week, and it’s happening against the backdrop of considerable turmoil in both the games industry proper and the AI-driven hardware supply shock that’s delaying mid-cycle and next-gen gaming hardware. In that context, it’s no surprise that Nvidia isn't bringing new GeForce cards to the show. Instead, the company is focusing on software performance enhancements and game tech integrations for upcoming titles
The biggest news the company is sharing at GDC is that Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, announced back at CES, will be arriving on March 31, along with extended 5x and 6x modes. Unlike the current MFG implementation, which only offers a constant frame rate multiplier, Dynamic MFG can shift gears on the fly in order to maintain a target frame rate.
All together, Dynamic MFG with 5x and 6x modes will likely be most useful to gamers with high-refresh-rate displays who want to ensure their systems are always hitting the lofty FPS numbers necessary to keep their screens operating near their peak output rates.
In tandem with the already available DLSS 4.5, which provides noticeably better image quality than past implementations even at relatively low input resolutions, gamers with RTX 50-series cards will soon have even more tools at their disposal in pursuit of a consistently smooth gaming experience.
Given the tradeoffs around input latency associated with MFG, now might seem like a natural time for Nvidia to offer an update on its Reflex 2 with Frame Warp latency-reduction tech, which has been stuck in "Coming Soon" status ever since the Blackwell GPU launch over a year ago. That isn't changing any time soon, however, as Nvidia only said to "stay tuned" regarding the technology in our briefing ahead of today's announcements.
DLSS 4.5 and Dynamic MFG will no doubt prove useful as Nvidia’s developer partners continue to integrate resource-intensive path-traced lighting effects in their titles. Nvidia says the upcoming Control Resonant and 007: First Light will both feature path-traced effects, and those titles will join the recently launched Resident Evil Requiem and the upcoming Pragmata as just a sampling of games that will incorporate these demanding rendering techniques.
Nvidia is also extending its RTX Mega Geometry technology to help CD Projekt Red create richer forested vistas in the upcoming The Witcher IV. This enhanced version of the tech allows for selective updates of ray-tracing data structures, along with support for finer-grained opacity micromaps, to allow for real-time ray tracing of even such complex scenes as an entire forest.
RTX Mega Geometry works best on the Blackwell architecture thanks to optimizations in the fourth-generation RT Cores present in those GPUs. The Witcher IV isn’t slated to arrive before 2027, but Blackwell gamers can be just a bit more smug in the meantime about the fact that the RT effects in that title will be optimized for their particular GPUs.
Generative AI aficionados are also getting a nod at GDC. Most locally generated assets are created through ComfyUI, and while that app’s node-based approach is familiar to those already versed in content-creation pipelines, it can be intimidating for those just dipping their toes into local AI workflows.
Nvidia has worked with ComfyUI to bring a new, more user-friendly “app view” interface to the table at GDC, and the company also touts the improvements it’s made to resource utilization in some workflows through the creation of better quantizations of models like LTX-2. Thanks to those improvements, creators can iterate more quickly on generative content on a broader range of hardware.
Even in the absence of new GPUs thus far in 2026, Nvidia’s GDC showing gives RTX 50-series owners a bit of a reason to be excited about being on the cutting edge of both gaming and AI. It’s a bit easier to swallow the absence of faster hardware when existing GPUs can upscale higher-quality frames and generate more of them if higher output frame rates are required, and while DLSS 4.5 works best on both RTX 40-series and 50-series GPUs, MFG remains a Blackwell-exclusive feature. Unless and until the AI chip crunch abates, getting more out of existing hardware is likely to be the way of things for the foreseeable future.

It was disappointing to many not to see an RTX 50 Super refresh at CES 2026. Now, a new report from The Information states that Nvidia plans not to launch any new GPUs in 2026. It also confirmed that the upcoming RTX 60 series is delayed beyond 2027.
Nvidia reportedly completed the design of its RTX 50 Super refresh, but the outgoing memory chip shortage has allegedly incentivized Nvidia to deprioritize RTX 50 Super production. This issue is also causing problems for the RTX 60 series, which was reportedly supposed to begin "mass production at the end of 2027". Nvidia has not commented directly on these delays, but it told Tom's Hardware, "Demand for GeForce RTX GPUs is strong, and memory supply is constrained. We continue to ship all GeForce SKUs and are working closely with our suppliers to maximize memory availability."
Rumors of an RTX 50 Super refresh have been around for months, we even saw some leaks of potential specs of the cards. If the rumors were true, Nvidia was planning to launch an RTX 5080 Super, RTX 5070 Ti Super, and RTX 5070 Super, similar to the RTX 40 Series Super refresh that preceded it.
The main upgrade all of these RTX 50 Super GPUs were supposedly going to receive was a major spec bump in GDDR7 memory capacity and higher power limits. The RTX 5080 Super was supposedly going to get 24GB of GDDR7 and a 415W TGP. The outgoing 5080, by contrast, comes with 16GB of GDDR7 and a 360W TDP. Similarly, the RTX 5070 Ti Super was going to get 24GB of GDDR7 and a 350W TDP, compared to the outgoing 5070 Ti's 16GB of GDDR7 and 300W TDP.
The RTX 5070 Super is the only one of the three models that was rumored to get a core count increase, in addition to extra memory and higher TGP. The RTX 5070 Super was allegedly going to come with 6,400 CUDA cores, 18GB of GDDR7, and a 275W TDP compared to the outgoing 5070's 6,144 CUDA cores, 12GB of GDDR7, and 250W TGP.
Many expected Nvidia to announce the RTX 50 Series super refresh at CES 2026, but just before the event, Nvidia publicly announced that it would not announce any new GPUs at the event, a first for the company in five years.
During CES we finally saw some rumors cropping up for the RTX 60 series. These rumors pointed towards a 2H 2027 release date and a potential RTX 6090 graphics card that was at least 30% faster than the RTX 5090 using the Rubin architecture.
There is a chance Nvidia could still release new GPUs later in 2026, but this latest report has dampened hopes of that occurring. Nvidia's next generation RTX 60 series GPUs are now likely begin production in 2028.
The memory chip shortage is also causing mayhem with Nvidia's existing GPUs; Nvidia is rumored to have slashed GPU supply by 20%, and Nvidia is also prioritizing RTX 50 series GPUs with lower VRAM capacity to combat the shortage. The only good news in all of this is that Jensen Huang is looking to resurrect old GPUs to keep the market fresh with as much GPU supply as possible.

As the entire industry plunges into a component drought, Nvidia has just announced on X that its CES 2026 keynote will have "no new GPUs," throwing cold water on the little hope left for new PC builders. This breaks a five-year long streak of consistently announcing new GPUs — desktop or mobile — at CES; instead, this time, there will be no new hardware at all.
Most of the presentation will likely focus on AI advancements. The Green Team has had new silicon to show at CES every year since 2021. Most recently, the RTX 50-series debuted at those iconic Las Vegas floors, and there have been rumblings and rumors of an RTX 50 Super series coming as well, aligning with the dates for CES 2026.
While there was never any official confirmation, the DRAM shortage may have derailed this launch, because otherwise, Nvidia did release the RTX 40 Super series at CES 2024, a year after the initial Ada Lovelace cards came out. Moreover, the company's latest Blackwell GPUs use GDDR7 memory, which is harder to produce. The situation has gotten so bad that wild rumors of Nvidia restarting RTX 3060 production have started floating around, since that card uses GDDR6 instead and is fabricated on Samsung's older 8nm process.
Sourcing memory is a big part of the problem. Nvidia can't announce new GPUs if the factories behind are entirely choked. Only three companies in the world, Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung, are capable of manufacturing cutting-edge DRAM to begin with, and they're all more than happy selling to AI clients for fatter margins. The hunger for AGI has led companies like OpenAI to chart record-breaking computing pursuits, ambitions that far exceed what our supply chains can even handle.
Some of you might be wondering why the government doesn't step in to help consumers here; isn't regulating the markets their job? Unfortunately, geopolitics further complicate this situation as frontier AI represents another arms race, and Washington wants to maintain its lead against China.
At the end of the day, there's no savior coming. Like the RAM crisis of 2014 and the various GPU shortages in the past decade, we'll have to wait until the AI boom goes stagnant. As of right now, Nvidia graphics cards still haven't experienced a price hike, so this might be the final few moments before we return to real scalping issues. Still, some people in the community, such as Sapphire's PR manager, are hopeful that even this storm can be ultimately weathered.

The annual Game Developers Conference (GDC) kicks off this week, and it’s happening against the backdrop of considerable turmoil in both the games industry proper and the AI-driven hardware supply shock that’s delaying mid-cycle and next-gen gaming hardware. In that context, it’s no surprise that Nvidia isn't bringing new GeForce cards to the show. Instead, the company is focusing on software performance enhancements and game tech integrations for upcoming titles.
The biggest news the company is sharing at GDC is that Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, announced back at CES, will be arriving on March 31, along with extended 5x and 6x modes. Unlike the current MFG implementation, which only offers a constant frame rate multiplier, Dynamic MFG can shift gears on the fly in order to maintain a target frame rate.
All together, Dynamic MFG with 5x and 6x modes will likely be most useful to gamers with high-refresh-rate displays who want to ensure their systems are always hitting the lofty FPS numbers necessary to keep their screens operating near their peak output rates.
In tandem with the already available DLSS 4.5, which provides noticeably better image quality than past implementations even at relatively low input resolutions, gamers with RTX 50-series cards will soon have even more tools at their disposal in pursuit of a consistently smooth gaming experience.
Given the tradeoffs around input latency associated with MFG, now might seem like a natural time for Nvidia to offer an update on its Reflex 2 with Frame Warp latency-reduction tech, which has been stuck in "Coming Soon" status ever since the Blackwell GPU launch over a year ago. That isn't changing any time soon, however, as Nvidia only said to "stay tuned" regarding the technology in our briefing ahead of today's announcements.
DLSS 4.5 and Dynamic MFG will no doubt prove useful as Nvidia’s developer partners continue to integrate resource-intensive path-traced lighting effects in their titles. Nvidia says the upcoming Control Resonant and 007: First Light will both feature path-traced effects, and those titles will join the recently launched Resident Evil Requiem and the upcoming Pragmata as just a sampling of games that will incorporate these demanding rendering techniques.
Nvidia is also extending its RTX Mega Geometry technology to help CD Projekt Red create richer forested vistas in the upcoming The Witcher IV. This enhanced version of the tech allows for selective updates of ray-tracing data structures, along with support for finer-grained opacity micromaps, to allow for real-time ray tracing of even such complex scenes as an entire forest.
RTX Mega Geometry works best on the Blackwell architecture thanks to optimizations in the fourth-generation RT Cores present in those GPUs. The Witcher IV isn’t slated to arrive before 2027, but Blackwell gamers can be just a bit more smug in the meantime about the fact that the RT effects in that title will be optimized for their particular GPUs.
Generative AI aficionados are also getting a nod at GDC. Most locally generated assets are created through ComfyUI, and while that app’s node-based approach is familiar to those already versed in content-creation pipelines, it can be intimidating for those just dipping their toes into local AI workflows.
Nvidia has worked with ComfyUI to bring a new, more user-friendly “app view” interface to the table at GDC, and the company also touts the improvements it’s made to resource utilization in some workflows through the creation of better quantizations of models like LTX-2. Thanks to those improvements, creators can iterate more quickly on generative content on a broader range of hardware.
Even in the absence of new GPUs thus far in 2026, Nvidia’s GDC showing gives RTX 50-series owners a bit of a reason to be excited about being on the cutting edge of both gaming and AI. It’s a bit easier to swallow the absence of faster hardware when existing GPUs can upscale higher-quality frames and generate more of them if higher output frame rates are required, and while DLSS 4.5 works best on both RTX 40-series and 50-series GPUs, MFG remains a Blackwell-exclusive feature. Unless and until the AI chip crunch abates, getting more out of existing hardware is likely to be the way of things for the foreseeable future.

Although ByteDance cannot get its hands on Nvidia’s latest Blackwell GPUs to develop its AI products, the company is looking forward to using a cluster containing 36,000 of its B200 GPUs that is physically located in Malaysia, reports the Wall Street Journal. The cluster will be used for research and development purposes as the company wants its share of the global AI pie. Nvidia says it is perfectly legal for the company to use such a cluster as long as it was built in compliance with the U.S. export controls.
The cluster, worth around $2.5 billion and consisting of 500 NVL72 GB200 rack-scale systems, will be formally owned and operated by Aolani Cloud in Malaysia. The hardware will be supplied through Aivres, a company that builds servers based on Nvidia GPUs, according to the WSJ, which cites people familiar with the arrangements. An Aolani spokesperson told WSJ that the company currently operates with roughly $100 million worth of hardware, so the scale of the proposed expansion is vast, but it is not completely clear who is funding it. ByteDance is also reportedly considering additional deployments, such as a cluster containing over 7,000 B200 GPUs at a data center in Indonesia.
Aolani has been leasing AI servers equipped with Nvidia H100 GPUs in Malaysia to ByteDance since February, 2025, so it is highly likely that the company’s primary focus is to lease AI hardware to the Chinese company. That said, the Hopper-based cluster is likely a test vehicle to ensure that ByteDance can technically use it, and the U.S. regulators do not oppose such usage by granting all the required export licenses. For the planned Blackwell deployment, initial payments have reportedly already been made.
Aolani was established in late 2023 and operates under a Cayman Islands holding structure, according to company registry documents cited by the WSJ. The company is designated as a Tier-1 cloud partner of Nvidia, which means that it has certification from the developer of AI GPUs and priority access to its newest accelerators, but this does not mean that Nvidia has all the required export licenses from the U.S. government to ship to Aolani. For advanced AI GPUs (H100/B200/B300, etc.), Nvidia must ensure that every shipment complies with U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security rules.
Exports of Nvidia AI accelerators to Malaysia typically do not require a BIS export license, but compliance checks are still mandatory, and licenses may be required in certain cases. To that end, Nvidia’s compliance teams review cloud partners before shipping hardware to them.
All Nvidia cloud partners are evaluated and cleared by Nvidia’s field operations, finance, and compliance teams before they can receive our products, directly or through an OEM,” an Nvidia spokesperson told Tom’s Hardware.
While ByteDance is a China-based company, it is not in the Bureau’s Entity List or Military End Use (MEU) list, so its potential use of Nvidia hardware does not automatically trigger a red flag for Nvidia, Aolani, or the U.S. government. Furthermore, the 2023 U.S. export controls primarily regulate where the hardware is shipped, not where its compute oomph is used, which means that the rules were intentionally written to allow global cloud infrastructure based on American hardware. While many U.S. lawmakers are uneasy about usage of American AI accelerators by Chinese companies in the cloud, this is completely legal under the current export rules framework.

Even though Nvidia's AI GPUs and rack-scale solutions remain the most sought-after AI accelerators, curbs set on exports of Nvidia's AI processors to China, first by the White House and then by Beijing, are having a drastic effect on the company's presence in the People's Republic. As a result, the company's share in China could drop to just 8% in the coming years as domestic suppliers can satisfy around 80% of local demand, reports Nikkei, citing analysis from Bernstein.
The new products meet the needs of domestic developers," said Zhang Jianzhong, chief executive of Moore Threads, at a news conference while announcing the codenamed Huashan product, the company's first GPU dedicated solely for the acceleration of AI workloads. "There will be no more need to wait for advanced products from overseas."
Analysts from Bernstein cited by Chinese media expect Nvidia's share of China’s AI processor market to drop to around 8% this year from 66% in 2024 as Huawei, Cambricon, and other local independent hardware vendors (IHVs) together approaching 80%. The rise of Chinese hardware accelerators is a result of a combination of events, including restrictions set on Nvidia hardware, progress of hardware from companies like Huawei, Cambricon, Moore Threads, and MetaX, as well as substantial improvements in their software stacks.
Moore Threads' Huashan can compete against Nvidia's Hopper H100 and H200 products, the company's previous-generation AI accelerators that the U.S. recently allowed to export to China, but with some serious strings attached. However, they are considerably slower than Nvidia's existing Blackwell B200 and B300 GPUs, which are barred from export to the People's Republic.
Meanwhile, Huawei's AI CloudMatrix 384 can beat both GB200 NVL72 and GB300 NVL72 systems in BF16 FLOPS, a popular format used for AI training, albeit with four times more power consumption. The company's next-generation Atlas 950 SuperCluster, based on 524,288 Ascend 950DT AI accelerators, is projected to offer up to 524 FP8 ExaFLOPS for AI training and up to 1 FP4 ZettaFLOPS for AI inference (MXFP4 to be more specific) sometimes in 2026 – 2027 and 4 ZettaFLOPS by the end of 2028. This is still behind leading Blackwell-based clusters, such as Oracle's OCI Supercluster running 131,072 B200 GPUs and offering peak performance of up to 2.4 FP4 ZettaFLOPS for inference, but it is evident that Chinese developers are rapidly increasing the performance of their AI hardware.
Given the progress, the remaining hurdle is completing the transition from an ecosystem long centered on Nvidia to a fully domestic hardware and software stack, which may not be that easy to achieve, as many existing AI deployments use Nvidia hardware and Nvidia CUDA software stack and porting them to Chinese hardware and software is hard and expensive.
Yet, transition to domestic AI hardware (and domestic hardware in general) is China's long-term national goal. A draft five-year plan reportedly circulated by the Communist Party in October calls for semiconductor self-reliance under a 'new national system' that directs state bodies, private companies, and financial institutions. At the heart of this effort are the so-called 'four little dragons' of Chinese GPUs: Moore Threads, MetaX, Biren Technology, and Suiyuan Technology (Enflame).
Large hyperscalers are also intensifying their custom silicon programs. Baidu's Kunlunxin unit plans to introduce five AI processors by 2030, and Alibaba is also not giving up on its own silicon efforts. Yet, to a large degree, China's AI industry is limited by SMIC's ability to produce chips on its 7nm-class process technologies in sizable quantities. If the company cannot increase its output substantially in the coming years, then either China's AI sector will fall behind America's dramatically, or it will find a way to obtain high-performance GPUs from Nvidia to keep up.Large hyperscalers are also intensifying their custom silicon programs.

The Banning Event Trading on Sensitive Operations and Federal Functions (BETS OFF) Act would outlaw corrupt wagers from those who already know the outcome of matters including government action, terrorism, war, assassination and other events the bettor has inside knowledge of. It's backed by Senator Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who has been a prominent critic of the administration of President Donald Trump, and Representative Greg Casar, a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
The lawmakers said they're responding to reports that prediction market accounts had placed significant bets before the U.S. operations in Venezuela and Iran. While legislation from Democrats won't likely be a priority for a Congress that's still majority-controlled in both chambers by Republicans, the midterm elections are considered likely to swing the House back to a Democratic majority — and possibly the Senate, according to those same prediction markets the lawmakers are focused on. If Democrats control the gavels of congressional committees, their preferred legislation has a better chance at a hearing.
According to the text of the bill, any kind of bet that has the potential for insider trading would be barred. This extends beyond government-related actions, a one-pager shared alongside the bill text said. Events like surprise singers at the Super Bowl halftime show or winners of awards programming would also be barred "because insiders know the outcome in advance."
The text of the bill itself defines "specified events" as including "any event … the outcome of which is under the complete control of any person; or the outcome of which is known by any person in advance.
Market manipulation and fraudulent betting is a matter in the hands of the platforms' regulator, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Trump's appointed chairman, Mike Selig, is a fan of prediction markets who has argued they can represent an antidote to faulty political polling and media reporting.
They also have a potential insider-trading problem, as seen in a couple of internal disciplinary actions recently taken by one of the leading firms, Kalshi. It suspended and fined two of its users, including a political candidate who had placed a bet on his own candidacy for California governor that he knew the outcome of.
In January, Representative Ritchie Torres, a New York Democrat who's been a longtime ally of the crypto sector, introduced a bill with dozens of fellow lawmakers on board that was similarly meant to crack down on insider trading after suspicious bets on the actions in Venezuela. And just last week, Senator Adam Schiff of California introduced a bill to ban prediction market contracts tied to war, terror, assassinations or death outright, while fellow Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal introduced a bill of his own to target insider trading and market manipulation.
Murphy's bill would similarly block the CFTC from listing contracts touching these areas outright.

Crypto markets cooled after Monday's rally, with bitcoin eyeing support near $72,000–$74,000 even as derivatives positioning remains broadly bullish and altcoins see deeper profit-taking.
Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 futures, in contrast, rose by 0.6% despite oil trading above $100 per barrel and the war in Iran continuing to rage.
Despite the decline in crypto markets, the average relative strength index (RSI) remains firmly in "overbought" territory, suggesting further drops toward $72,000 may be on the cards.
However, such a move would resemble a period of consolidation after bitcoin rose by more than 15% from $65,000 since March 8.
A bounce between $72,000 and $74,000 would indicate a fresh level of support being formed, potentially serving as a platform for an ascent to above $80,000.

Payments giant Mastercard moves to bridge fiat and crypto with $1.8 billion acquisition of the U.K. based stablecoin startup.
U.K.-based BVNK is a stablecoin company enabling businesses to move money in seconds across more than 130 countries. Its infrastructure, used by firms including Worldpay, Deel and Flywire, processes billions of dollars annually and is designed to bridge traditional fiat systems with blockchain-based payments.
By integrating BVNK’s technology, Mastercard said it aims to connect on-chain payments with its global network, enabling use cases such as cross-border transfers, remittances and business-to-business payments.
“We expect that most financial institutions and fintechs will in time provide digital currency services,” said Jorn Lambert, Mastercard’s chief product officer, in a statement. The deal will help bring “the benefits of tokenized money to the real world.”
The agreement comes several months after Coinbase ended $2 billion acquisition talks with the stablecoin startup. At the time, a Coinbase spokesperson declined to provide a reason for the talks' collapse.
For Mastercard, the acquisition highlights its growing push into digital assets as stablecoin adoption accelerates. Just last week, it announced the launch of its Crypto Partner Program, which brings together more than 85 companies from across the digital asset and payments industries, an effort to link blockchain technology more directly with the infrastructure that underpins global commerce.
Stablecoin payment volumes reached at least $350 billion in 2025, according to the company, with increasing regulatory clarity prompting banks and fintechs to explore offerings tied to tokenized deposits and blockchain-based money movement.
The company also said the combined capabilities will focus on interoperability between fiat and digital currencies while maintaining compliance and security standards expected by financial institutions.

It is easy to be led by the various damning headlines that suggest demand for electric vehicles is waning to the point that big automotive players are completely rethinking their strategies.
Granted, the likes of Porsche and Ford have back-tracked on plans, shoehorning gasoline engines and hybrid set-ups into models that were destined to be pure electric, but this isn’t the case for everyone.
Kia, Hyundai, Renault, Peugeot and the Volkswagen Group continued to release new and exciting EVs throughout 2025, while Tesla updated its two best-selling vehicles in the Model 3 and Model Y this year.
What’s more, the Chinese brands that once operated on the fringes are now becoming ever-more mainstream, with the likes of BYD, MG, LeapMotor and more all grabbing large slices of the market in the UK, Europe and beyond.
It’s a slightly different story in the US, where a reversal on incentives and tax breaks has slowed EV progress, often forcing many of the aforementioned brands to rethink their electric strategy in North America to ensure they remain profitable.
Polestar, Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes-Benz all paused or scrapped plans to launch models in the US, but that hasn’t prevented homegrown talent from prevailing.
Tesla and Rivian continue to reach new buyers, Hyundai and Kia remain popular and Nissan’s recently release Leaf is making waves for its range and affordability.

BYD confirms that Denza will bring its Flash charging to Europe
The 1,500kW outlets can deliver a 10-70% charge in only five minutes
Chinese Z9 GT can manage 644-miles on a single charge
Denza, which is considered the ‘premium technology-orientated automotive brand’ in the BYD Group, has confirmed that its headline-grabbing Z9 GT performance EV will be heading to Europe, alongside the equally impressive 1,500kW charging capabilities.
Already in use in China, BYD’s Flash Charging stations deliver more than three-times the output of rival ‘ultra fast-charging’ outlets, enabling a 10-70% charge in only five minutes and a 10-97% refill in just nine minutes, even in -30°C temperatures, it claims.siyam
The Denza Z9 GT rides on a bespoke e3 platform, with the shooting brake Grand Tourer boasting a 122kWh Blade Battery and up to 800km (almost 500 miles) on a single charge in the rear-wheel-drive edition.
There is also a more performance-focused version that uses three electric motors to deliver more than 960hp and a 0-62mph sprint time of less than three seconds. Both models are due to go one sale in April of this year.
According to Car News China, the Z9 GT became the fastest new energy luxury GT to deliver 10,000 vehicles in China when it went on sale early last year, with more than 5,000 orders within 36 hours of its launch.
There’s no word on European pricing just yet, but the cheapest cars start at just 443,900 yuan ($45,900 / around £35,000 / AU$65,000) and tops out at 384,800 yuan ($52,600 / around £40,000 / AU$75,000) in China.
Despite those figures likely increasing when factoring in import costs and taxes, the Denza brand could still drastically undercut premium rivals from established players, such as Porsche, Audi and BMW.
