Nvidia has announced that it is "unlaunching" the 12GB RTX 4080 graphics card after criticisms regarding the difference between this and the more powerful 16GB model.

Nvidia shared the news in a blog post, saying, "the RTX 4080 12GB is a fantastic graphics card, but it’s not named right. Having two GPUs with the 4080 designation is confusing."

"So, we’re pressing the 'unlaunch' button on the 4080 12GB," Nvidia continued. "The RTX 4080 16GB is amazing and on track to delight gamers everywhere on November 16th."

The 12GB RTX 4080 was set to launch alongside the 16GB model for $899, but it was going to do so with less RT, Tensor, and CUDA cores than the more expensive model.

The 16GB model will launch at $1,199 and will be the only 4080 model to launch on November 16, meaning those looking for a cheaper option will have to wait until Nvidia reveals its plan to relaunch the 12GB iteration.

As for the 40-series as a whole, it is built on the new Ada Lovelace architecture, which uses TSMC's 4nm N4 technology. This new architecture, which is named after the mathematician and writer of the same name, is the only graphical architecture to support the new third generation of DLSS.

If you need a bit more power than the 4080 series offers, Nvidia just launched its flagship GPU, the RTX 4090, for $1,599.

Robbie Coltrane, the actor and comedian who played Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies, has died at the age of 72.

As reported by BBC, Coltrane's agent Belinda Wright confirmed that he died in a hospital near Falkirk in Scotland, on Friday, October 14, 2022. Wright called Coltrane a "unique talent" and said that the actor "brought joy to children and adults alike all over the world."

"For me personally I shall remember him as an abidingly loyal client," Wright said. "As well as being a wonderful actor, he was forensically intelligent, brilliantly witty, and after 40 years of being proud to be called his agent, I shall miss him.

"He is survived by his sister Annie Rae, his children Spencer and Alice and their mother Rhona Gemmell. They would like to thank the medical staff at Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert for their care and diplomacy. Please respect Robbie's family's privacy at this distressing time."

Coltrane was born on March 30, 1950, in Rutherglen, Scotland, with the name Anthony Robert McMillan. He took on the last name of Coltrane as a tribute to jazz saxophonist John Coltrane.

His acting career kicked off in 1979 when he was cast in the TV series Play for Today, and he would continue on to star in such films and shows as Flash Gordon, A Kick Up the Eighties, Laugh??? I Nearly Paid My Licence Fee, Death Watch, Scrubbers, Krull, Tutti Frutti, and so many more.

He also starred as the forensic psychologist Dr. Edward "Fitz" Fitzgerald in the TV series Cracker, and his performance would earn him three BAFTA awards.

He is perhaps most well-known for his portrayal of Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter films and for his time as Valentin Zukovsky in the James Bond films GoldenEye and The World Is Not Enough.

For his contributions to the world of drama, he was awarded the OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire" in the 2006 New Year Honours by Queen Elizabeth II.

The mason jar of mysteries, Xûr, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week's reset. If you're looking to get your some shiny new Exotic armor or weapons for your Guardian, look no further.

Each week, Xûr has a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. In addition to his Exotic wares, he's got a random collection of Legendary weapons and armor to deck out your Guardians.

We've rounded up all the info on Xûr for the week including where to find Xûr, which Exotic weapons and armor are available, as well as which Legendary weapons you should pick up, either for PvE or PvP.

Where Is Xûr This Weekend?

Xûr's location today can be found at Watcher's Grave on Nessus on October 14 through October 18. To reach him, travel to the landing point at Watcher's Grave. When you arrive, make for the red moss-covered tree straight ahead. Climb up the roots and you'll find Xûr waiting at the top to sell you exotic items and legendary weapons.

What Is Xûr Selling This Weekend?

Timothy Dalton will star in the Yellowstone prequel series, 1923. According to Variety, the former 007 will star as Donald Whitfield – a “powerful, self-confident man who reeks of wealth and the lack of empathy it requires to attain it.”

As a prequel to Yellowstone, 1923 is set explore how “pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression all plague the mountain west and the Duttons who call it home.”

Dalton is just the latest A-lister to join the Yellowstone prequel, alongside the likes of Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren.

Dalton is perhaps best known as James Bond in the likes of The Living Daylights and License to Kill but has flexed his acting chops in more villainous roles, including Hot Fuzz and The Rocketeer.

Meanwhile, Yellowstone will be heading into its fifth season next month. Want to read more about Yellowstone? Check out IGN’s top 25 westerns of all time.

A Gangs of New York TV show is being developed with Martin Scorsese. According to Deadline, the upcoming show is based on the 1927 non-fiction book by Herbert Asbury and will focus on new characters that did not appear in the 2002 movie.

Scorsese was previously attached to another adaptation of Gangs of New York back in 2013.

“This time and era of America’s history and heritage is rich with characters and stories that we could not fully explore in a two-hour film,” he said at the time. “A television series allows us the time and creative freedom to bring this colorful world, and all the implications it had and still does on our society, to life.”

Scorsese is reportedly attached to direct the first two episodes and is also on board as executive producer. Brett Leonard wrote the script.

The original book details various confrontations between rival New York gangs during the mid-to-late 1800s before the Italian-American Mafia began to dominate in the 1920s. However, Scorsese has proven to be rather adept at adapting these periods, having won an Emmy for the pilot episode of Boardwalk Empire.

Gangs of New York itself was nominated for 10 Academy Awards.

It’s said that Scorsese “responded” to Leonard’s script which was being developed at Miramax, and decided to join the project as a result. Rick Yorn and Chris Donnelly are also on board as executive producers.

It’s currently unknown where the series will land and will be taken out to buyers later this month.

IGN’s review of Gangs of New York gave it 8/10 and said: “Gangs of New York is a good, but not great movie about the birth of this nation that lives off its amazing visuals. As a whole, the film lacks the flow and build-up of many of Scorsese's past pictures, but the sets, the costumes, the shots -- everything here is a joy to behold. Day-Lewis' Butcher overpowers every other character in the movie, which serves to illustrate Vallon's attraction to him, but also painfully shows that the ‘hero’ in this picture is simply not compelling enough.”

Toad will be getting his very own song in The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

During an interview with Variety, Keegan-Michael Key was asked whether Toad gets to sing in the upcoming video game adaptation.

“He does,” he said. “I got to improvise a song in Super Mario Bros. which was an absolute blast. That was just a stick of fun, that whole thing.”

Notably, Toad appeared in the recent trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie alongside Mario and Bowser… but while we have heard him speaking, we’re yet to find out if his singing voice is any good.

“I was working on the voice with my partner and trying to find the voice through the internal journey of the character,” he said of his voice work. “And then with the directors, we sprinkled some things in, we moved it around.”

Although Chris Pratt has come under fire for his Mario voice sounding a lot like… well… his normal voice, Key’s voice work involved a bit more experimentation.

“There was something about the timbre,” he said. “I wanted it higher and higher and higher. And that’s where we ended up, and I’m really happy with where we ended up.”

What Toad will sing in the movie remains to be seen… but co-star Jack Black has also made some musical allusions when it comes to his role in the movie.

“I did bring some of my heavy metal roots,” Black said. “Bowser is kind of like a heavy metal rockstar, a big, strong, and scary rockstar. And I did a little bit of rocking. I think you’ll be surprised to see that Bowser has a musical side. After the movie comes out, I might take it to Broadway.”
