Nvidia is keeping the RTX 4070 under wraps but it looks like absolutely no one else is. We’ve got what’s claimed to be an entire specification list, and proof of third-party models from MSI and Palit, to ponder over ahead of the graphics card’s expected release. 

Videocardz has got hold of a slide that is claimed to be from Nvidia. We’ve no guarantee of that, but it looks like it holds water.

The slide shows Nvidia will be using the AD104 GPU for the RTX 4070—the same GPU used in the RTX 4070 Ti. That checks out with what we’re expecting, and the rest of the spec is no surprise, either. There’s reportedly 12GB of GDDR6X memory capable of pumping out 504GB/s bandwidth across the card, working in tandem with a large L2 cache size of 36MB to push performance. That’s 9x the L2 cache of the equivalent RTX 30-series cards.

In terms of performance, there’s a graph comparing the RTX 4070 to the RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3070. It looks good, but what we’re looking at i…

Valve appears to be working on a new feature for Steam that will let you mark individual games as “private,” which will let you keep your profile public while preventing all your friends from knowing just how much time you spend playing Horny Housewives Booty Call Blackmail. (Or, you know, whatever.)

Currently, the privacy options on Steam are limited: You can set your profile, or individual parts of it (game details, friends list, and inventory), to public, friends only, or private. That provides some control over what the rest of the Steam universe can know about you, but it’s an all-or-nothing solution that lacks flexibility.

The addition of a per-game privacy option, spotted and shared on Twitter by SteamDB creator Pavel Djundik, promises to go a long way toward addressing that shortcoming. Steam users will be able to mark individual games as “private,” which will keep other Steam users—even their friends—from seeing it.

Let’s be honest wit…

We at PC Gamer have developed a fondness for bears rendered by our computers, be they a party of bears in Pillars of Eternity or the results of putting all your skill points into “bear” in Diablo 4, but what if the computer itself was the bear? Prolific retro hardware YouTuber LGR engaged in a cross country effort to secure just that: a turn of the millennium desktop encased in a giant Ikea Teddy bear.

LGR was alerted by his followers to an LA Craigslist post for the ursine contraption, put up for sale by its creator, Case modder and computing enthusiast Peter Isaacson. Isaacson created the “Bear-a-Byte” for his wife, documented on his personal website via the Wayback Machine. Isaacson hollowed out a now-discontinued “Varlig” Ikea jumbo stuffed bear just enough so it could encase an old PC tower, then coated the front plate with some of the leftover fur just for good measure.

LGR viewer Charles Lai stepped up to make the pickup and ship the Bear-a-Byte …
