The price of LG’s UltraGear 27GX700A-B 1440p gaming monitor that came out last August has dropped to nearly its best price yet. You can grab it at Amazon for $484.99 or at LG for $499.99 (originally $599.99). That’s a great deal considering this is one of LG’s Primary RGB Tandem panels built with fourth-generation WOLED […]
Dbrand did not do its homework when it made the Companion Cube case for the Steam Machine.
Dbrand announced Monday that it's refunding everyone who bought its Steam Machine Companion Cube, which it said it made "without a license from Valve." Dbrand announced the Portal-themed Steam Machine accessory in November and took preorders for it last Monday. But a few days later, the product had disappeared from the company's website and the […]
It's not exactly surprising that RAMaggeddon is making new tech hardware really expensive. But if you've been in the market for things like a new computer or tablet, this week has been filled with sticker shock. Given how many companies announced price hikes related to component shortages, it seems unlikely things will get cheaper any […]
If League of Legends and Valorant players have the right hardware and elect to opt into "pre-boot security mechanisms and Windows' own native protection features," then, starting today, they can switch the Vanguard anti-cheat software from always-on to one that's "on demand." With "Vanguard Pre-Check," the kernel-level driver won't launch when your system does, according […]
There are some some sizable discounts on new and recent hits from the last few years for the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series X / S for Prime Day. Most Amazon game deals are physical copies, but every so often there’s a better or equivalent price on digital versions, as well […]
The Steam Machine is here, with a base price of $1,049. Yes, that's nearly twice the price of a PS5, but what you're buying here isn't a console but a full-on PC - and a tiny one at that. Valve says it's selling the Steam Machine basically at cost. So we asked ourselves: What would […]
This is not a review of the MSI Claw 8 EX AI Plus, the first gaming handheld available with Intel's new Arc G3 Extreme handheld gaming chip. Now that my colleague Sean Hollister is done reviewing the Steam Machine, I'll let him go deep on the new Claw at some point in the future. This […]
MSI's Intel-powered Claw gaming handhelds have so far mostly been Windows machines, meaning that anyone who picks one up has to deal with the crusty experience that is Windows on a handheld gaming PC. But now, both Valve and Intel tell The Verge that they're working with each other, and people like YouTuber ETA Prime […]
Valve's Steam Machine finally has a price: a whopping $1,049 for the 512GB configuration or $1,349 for the 2TB version. And those are without bundled controllers, which drive up the cost more. The prices are so high in part because Valve isn't subsidizing the hardware, and the company has already indicated that the component crisis […]
Valve says it's using a randomized purchase queue to make the experience "less frustrating and more fair."
The Steam Machine is a cool little console that's about as powerful as a PlayStation 5, according to my colleague Sean Hollister's in-depth review. But one area where it lags behind is with its earlier version of AMD FSR upscaler: It's just not as good as it should be. Yes, it can sharpen low-res graphics […]
The Steam Machine is here, but getting one is a little complicated. Valve is taking preorders using a reservation system, which is intended to make the process more fair and harder for bots to exploit. However, it's a bit different than the $5 reservations Valve used for the Steam Deck. Starting today, you can sign […]
If you don't get lucky with Valve's Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that "starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want." SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including "improved compatibility […]
Valve finally announced the price of the Steam Machine, and like a lot of new gadgets these days, it's not cheap: It starts at $1,049 for a 512GB model, and a 2TB model costs $300 more. Configurations with a bundled Steam Controller cost an extra $79 each. Despite Valve offering a console alternative with the […]
My first day with the Steam Machine was a mess. Instead of enjoying a worry-free game console, I spent hours troubleshooting what felt like a finicky PC. That's because the Steam Machine is a PC, with a very important twist. Since the Magnavox Odyssey came out in 1972, game consoles have been built with the […]
After months of waiting, Valve has finally announced that the Steam Machine, its new living room-friendly PC, will start at $1,049 and go on sale beginning June 29th. You can now register your interest to buy a Steam Machine as part of a reservation system. To offer a fair playing field for people who want […]
nvidia-peermem "Invalid argument" on Ubuntu — Fix GPUDirect RDMA with DMA-BUF TL;DR: If modprobe nvidia-peermem fails with Invalid argument ( -EINVAL ) on a system using the inbox Ubuntu InfiniBand stack ( rdma-core ), the module is not broken and you do not need it. nvidia-peermem requires an API that only exists in MLNX_OFED. On Hopper/Blackwell GPUs with the NVIDIA open driver, use DMA-BUF instead — it does GPUDirect RDMA natively. The one gotcha: you must enable nvidia-drm modeset=1 . Applies to: Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04, inbox rdma-core stack, NVIDIA open kernel driver, H100 / H200 / B200, ConnectX-6/7 (or any HCA with ODP support). The symptom $ sudo modprobe nvidia-peermem modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_peermem' : Invalid argument dmesg shows nvidia-peermem loaded but registered nothing, or the load returns -EINVAL . GPUDirect RDMA appears to be unavailable. Why this happens (and why it is not a bug) nvidia-peermem is the legacy path for GPUDirect RDMA. It registers GPU memory with the InfiniBand subsystem through a Mellanox-proprietary kernel API: ib_register_peer_memory_client () That symbol only exists in MLNX_OFED's build of ib_core . It is not in the mainline kernel, and it is not in rdma-core , which is the inbox InfiniBand stack on Ubuntu. If you are on the inbox stack, nvidia-peermem was compiled without that API present, so it can never bind and always returns Invalid argument . No module parameter or config change will fix it, because the thing it needs was never there. Do not install MLNX_OFED just to make nvidia-peermem load. That works, but it is the wrong fix — you would be adding a heavy proprietary stack to revive an obsolete module. There is a native path already in your kernel. The fix: use DMA-BUF On Hopper and newer with the open driver, GPUDirect RDMA works through DMA-BUF , a mainline Linux framework. No external module, no MLNX_OFED. Requirements (check these first) NVIDIA open kernel driver (not the proprietary build) nvidia-drm
The Snapchat maker is spinning off yet another internal unit. Dotmo will be comprised of current Snap staff who are leaving the social media company to focus on AI video development.
Valve has some good news and bad news about Steam Controllers. The good news: if you make a reservation for a Steam Controller, the company will now show you one of three estimates of when you'll be able to actually order your gamepad: by September 2026, by December 2026, or sometime in 2027. The bad […]
