Nvidia's biggest gaming reveal at CES 2026 was DLSS 4.5, an update for RTX GPUs that can boost frames rendered by six times via multi-frame generation and sharpen images with an upgraded Transformer AI model.

Hard to believe but there was a time when graphics cards weren't the size of an SUV and cost as much as a house. As if to prove it, here comes PNY addressing at least one half of that equation with a new range of dual-slot Nvidia RTX GPUs. Odds are, however, the pricing will remain distinctly 2026.

So, in a mess of a launch, who gets the nominations for the best graphics card of 2025? Well, thankfully the rest of the year took care of the failures of launch time, with all the new GPUs becoming far more affordable and far closer to MSRP (in some cases even below!), and now widely available, too.
