MSI has released two limited collaboration graphics cards alongside NVIDIA's RTX 5070 launch, produced in partnership with Blizzard Entertainment's upcoming World of Warcraft: Midnight expansion. The Midnight Void Edition and Midnight Light Edition are themed around the expansion's central conflict between the Void and the Light, and represent some of the more elaborate AIB collaboration designs seen on a mid-high tier GPU in recent years. Both cards carry a factory overclock above reference spec and share the same Tri Frozr 4 cooling platform.

If you thought the RTX 4090's 24GB of GDDR6X was already overkill, Brother Zhang's repair shop in China has news for you — they've been building a 48GB version, and GamersNexus just took cameras inside to document the whole thing. The video is one of the more fascinating pieces of GPU content to surface in recent memory, not just because of the 48GB party trick, but because of what it reveals about the sheer depth of hardware knowledge and hands-on skill sitting quietly in repair shops like this one.

MSI has just dropped the most extreme RTX 5090 yet — the Lightning Z. Featuring an EXtreme mode with a jaw-dropping 1,000W TDP and dual 16-pin power connectors, this limited-edition flagship doesn't just push the envelope — it tears it apart. Limited to just 1,300 units worldwide and priced at $5,090.99, this is a statement piece as much as it is a performance card.

Quai Network is preparing a major protocol upgrade scheduled for December 17, known as SOAP — the Subsidized Open-market Acquisition Protocol. This upgrade fundamentally changes how merge-mining works by transforming it into a continuous QUAI buyback and revenue stream for the network. From a mining perspective, SOAP introduces several significant changes aimed at expanding participation, increasing network security, and improving miner incentives.

Xelis is scheduled to change its mining algorithm from XelisHashV2 to XelisHashV3 on December 13th. If you plan to continue mining after this change, you will need to update your mining software and, in some cases, adjust your miner configuration as well. We cover the required updates below.

With the recent rise in Zcash (ZEC) price, many miners are once again evaluating whether ASIC mining hardware could offer a worthwhile return. However, ASIC miners built for Equihash are extremely specialized machines with a single purpose—and that makes any investment in them inherently high-risk. The overview below breaks down the currently available Zcash ASIC miners by hashrate, power consumption, and efficiency, helping you form a clearer picture of their capabilities before considering a purchase. If you click on any ASIC model, you can also see estimated returns and available vendors to help inform your decision.

Once your machine is up and running on Vast, you may encounter some issues. We’ve compiled the most common ones here, along with explanations and troubleshooting steps.

We often receive questions about Qubic reward estimates—especially when actual returns appear lower than expected. Unlike many other blockchains, Qubic operates under a unique reward system. In this article, we’ll explain how it works, why discrepancies can occur, and what sets Qubic apart from more conventional blockchain models.

Thinking about getting into Scrypt mining or upgrading your existing setup? This guide provides a comprehensive look at the current landscape of Scrypt ASIC miners. Whether you're mining Litecoin, Dogecoin, or other Scrypt-based coins, choosing the right hardware is key to maximizing returns.
