The northernmost city in the U.S. continues to be ground zero for the impacts of climate change. As sunlight fades from the Arctic, sea ice began to form this week around Utqiaġvik, an Iñupiat whaling community located on the shores of the Arctic Ocean. And that’s…not right.
Valar Morghulis. We’re approaching the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, and we’ve seen so many deaths over the years. Your Starks, your Lannisters, your zombie babies. And now we’re down to a trim, core cast of characters. Except not really. There are still so many people alive on this show who could die in…
Filmstruck and its Criterion Channel are set to be shuttered at the end of this month, but it appears a viral online petition along with some high-profile celebrity endorsements from the likes of Christopher Nolan and Guillermo Del Toro may have changed some executives’ minds. In an announcement today, Criterion said…
E3 2019 is still more than half a year away, but it looks like Microsoft is starting to hype everyone up. In a recent tweet by Xbox boss Phil Spencer, the exec confirmed that they will have a lot of things to share with fans and gamers at the event, although what exactly those announcements will be remains to be seen.
According to Spencer, “A lot to share with fans at E3 2019. Always a high point of the year to witness the industry’s creativity and the energy of the community.” This also effectively confirms that Microsoft will be present at the event, unlike their rival Sony who had recently confirmed that they will be skipping the event, citing reasons such as experimenting with new ways to “delight gamers”.
What this means is that as far as the major console makers are concerned, only Microsoft and Nintendo will be at the event. This isn’t to say that we won’t be seeing any PS4/PS4 Pro games and announcements, it’s just that they won’t be made by Sony. For those who might be hoping that Microsoft will announce a next-gen Xbox at the event, it doesn’t seem too likely.
Some analysts believe that Microsoft and Sony’s next-gen consoles will only arrive in 2020 (some say late 2019), but we’ll have to wait and see.

Back in August, NVIDIA announced new GPUs in the form of the RTX 2080 Ti. Given its asking price of $999, safe to say that this GPU is not cheap and is clearly aimed at professionals and enthusiasts who might require the power and performance that the GPU has to offer. Unfortunately there have been reports of users complaining about the GPU failing on them.
In a post on the NVIDIA forums (via IGN), the company has finally acknowledged that some of the RTX 2080 Ti GPUs that they have put out might be defective. The post on the forum reads, “Limited test escapes from early boards caused the issues some customers have experienced with RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition. We stand ready to help any customers who are experiencing problems.”
Basically it sounds like what NVIDIA is saying is that during the testing part of their GPUs during the early stages of production, some potentially faulty components somehow managed to slip past during the QA process and ended up in the boards being sold to consumers, and thus resulted in some boards failing.
In any case the good news is that NVIDIA will give you an exchange if you have one of their defective models, so if that’s you, head on over to NVIDIA’s support page to get in touch with an NVIDIA agent who will help sort it out for you.
