Nvidia's GeForce Now has changed a lot in the year since we asked the question: which is better, a new graphics card or a subscription to GeForce Now's Ultimate tier?
The big picture: Starting tomorrow, Nvidia is hosting its GTC developer conference. Once a sideshow for semis, the event has transformed into the center of attention for much of the industry. With Nvidia's rise, many have been asking the extent to which Nvidia's software provides a durable competitive moat for its hardware. As we have been getting a lot of questions about that, we want to lay out our thoughts here.

A lot has been said about 8GB GPUs over the past year, in part thanks to our own testing. In comparing 4GB vs 8GB VRAM we hope to get a glimpse into the future dynamics between 8GB and 16GB configurations.
A hot potato: Nvidia is experiencing the kind of success most companies could only dream of right now, and it's all thanks to the generative AI boom. But not everyone is praising Jensen Huang and his firm. After a rival chip maker accused it of delaying orders of AI GPUs to customers who are courting other suppliers, a former AMD vice president has called Team Green "the GPU cartel."
