• Nvidia's new RTX 5080 GPU performs better than AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX at raw rasterization and ray tracing
• DLSS 4 performance takes it further, while the RX 7900 XTX only has FSR 3 for now
• Scalping could leave many people buying AMD GPUs instead

The best of Nvidia's RTX 5000 series GPUs are finally here, with the RTX 5090 ($1,999 / £1,939 / AU$4,039) and the RTX 5080 ($999 / £939 / AU$2,019) launching yesterday. With comparisons now out in the wild, it's clear to see that the RTX 5080 defeats AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX while sitting at the same listed price - although the chances of finding one at that price are slim.

At both raw rasterization and (unsurprisingly) ray tracing performance, Team Green's RTX 5080 comes out on top against its rivals' flagship RX 7000 series GPU in several games as evident in Gamer Meld's comparison on YouTube (available below). Whilst it isn't by a huge margin (at least in raw rasterization), it completes the job the previous generation's RTX 4080 Super set out to do.

Examples of this are notable in Black Myth: Wukong, as the RTX 5080 scored an average frame rate of 42fps versus the RX 7900 XTX's 32fps at 4K max graphics settings with no upscaling or ray tracing, a 27% performance difference. With RT Overdrive enabled in Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K max graphics settings and upscaling on (performance mode for both), the RTX 5080 had an average of 59.84 fps versus the 7900 XTX's 30.02 fps.

It's worth noting that this is while Team Green's powerhouse GPU was using DLSS 4 and the RX 7900 XTX was using FSR 3 - you could call it an unfair comparison, but Team Red's FSR 4 will only be available for RDNA 4 GPUs (at least for now), and the GPU in question isn't one of them. We will have to wait just a little longer for more information on what the new RX 9070 series offers (especially while using FSR 4), and whether this could stack up to Nvidia's offerings.

Unless you're lucky enough to grab an RTX 5080 FE before scalpers, you likely won't get it at its listed price

Now, this may be a circumstance where I'd recommend sticking with AMD's RX 7900 XTX if you already own the GPU - the RTX 5080 FE would likely be the better option going forward (especially if DLSS 4 is better than FSR 4), but the scalpers will likely be the main obstacle to stop you from purchasing it at reasonable prices.

We've seen this happen on numerous occasions with Nvidia's GPUs and other PC hardware, so expect it to be the same case here. It'll likely be much worse for those chasing the RTX 5090 with its $1,999 / £1,939 / AU$4,039 price (which I frankly don't think is worth it if you already own an RTX 4090).

While Nvidia's RTX 5080 is the stronger GPU, the RX 7900 XTX doesn't stray too far behind in raw rasterization - ray tracing and upscaling are great don't get me wrong, but I've already stated that this shouldn't be the deciding factor for a GPU purchase.

Both GPUs are at the same listed price, with third-party options of the RX 7900 XTX at lower prices (since it's been out for 2 years) so it would be the easy and most affordable option in this case - but once more users catch wind of performance comparisons, you'll likely see the RX 7900 XTX disappear from online retailers too with low stock. A potential purchase of the RTX 5080 is entirely down to whether you own AMD's GPU already or a GPU that's weaker on either Team Red or Team Green's end.

Traditionally seen as number crunchers handling compliance and bookkeeping, accountants are now evolving into strategic advisers, helping businesses navigate challenges and identify growth opportunities. This shift is being driven by tools like automation, artificial intelligence (AI), financial management software (FMS) and cloud-based systems, which enable accountants to deliver insights and advice far beyond traditional expectations.

According to the 2024 Intuit QuickBooks Accountant Technology Survey, 50% of accounting firms plan to increase their technology investments in the coming year. This demonstrates the growing importance of technology in enhancing efficiency and equipping accountants to meet the increasingly complex needs of businesses.

Financial management systems (FMS) are one of the most transformative tools helping businesses to automate routine tasks, provide real-time financial insights, and empower accountants to move beyond transactional roles, becoming proactive, forward-looking advisers who deliver significant value to their clients.

Here are three ways that FMS enable accountants to provide greater value and become trusted business partners for SMBs:

1. Automating Time-Consuming Tasks

For decades, accountants spent much of their time on routine tasks such as bookkeeping, tax preparation, and data reconciliation. While these activities are critical, they often leave little room for strategic planning or advisory work. Today, automation tools and FMS are transforming this dynamic by taking over repetitive processes, allowing accountants to focus on delivering meaningful value.

Automation reduces the potential for errors while significantly increasing efficiency. With routine tasks streamlined, accountants can spend more time providing timely, actionable insights tailored to their clients’ needs. For SMBs, this access to precise financial data and expert advice is invaluable, enabling them to address unique challenges with confidence outside of simply accounting. This shift allows accountants to dedicate their expertise to areas like profitability analysis and long-term financial planning, cementing their role as proactive advisers.

2. Guiding Clients on Cash Flow Management

Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business, and effective management is often the key to success. Modern FMS tools provide real-time financial insights that empower accountants to help clients monitor their income and expenses more effectively. This capability allows businesses to predict potential cash shortages, plan for upcoming financial needs, and maintain overall stability.

By leveraging real-time data, accountants can identify and address cash flow issues before they become critical. Through close collaboration with their clients, they implement strategies to optimize cash reserves and reduce unnecessary costs. This hands-on approach not only enhances financial stability but also fosters a sense of trust between accountants and the businesses they support. As a result, SMBs are better equipped to navigate day-to-day operations and prepare for growth opportunities.

3. Delivering Insights Beyond Compliance

Gone are the days when accountants were solely focused on ensuring regulatory compliance. With technology adoption, accountants can analyze financial trends, model different scenarios, and offer tailored recommendations that directly impact business performance. These capabilities allow accountants to confidently guide businesses, helping them make informed decisions that drive success.

This evolution from reactive to proactive service delivery has redefined the accountant-client relationship. Accountants are no longer responding to financial events as they occur but are instead anticipating challenges and identifying opportunities. This transformation aligns their services with the strategic priorities of modern businesses and solidifies their role as indispensable partners in growth and innovation.

First Things First: Speak to an Accountant

Despite the clear benefits, some small business owners remain cautious about adopting FMS due to concerns over cost, complexity, and implementation. Speaking with an accountant or financial advisor is an essential first step in overcoming these barriers and ensuring the best tools are chosen for your business goals. These professionals offer expert guidance to help you identify scalable, customizable solutions tailored to your specific business needs.

They simplify the transition process, breaking implementation into manageable steps and providing training to ensure confidence in using the new system. Moreover, they can share real-world success stories and demonstrate how similar businesses have benefited from adopting these tools. This expert support ensures a smoother transition, empowering small businesses to embrace technology to drive growth and efficiency.

The Long-Term Implications of Technology Adoption

The integration of technology into accounting is not just a trend; it’s a necessity for long-term success. Accountants who embrace these tools can deliver high-value services that strengthen client relationships and foster business growth. For SMBs, adopting FMS means achieving operational efficiency, reducing errors, and gaining the insights needed to make confident, strategic decisions. Together, these advancements position both accountants and SMBs to thrive in an increasingly complex financial landscape.

Back in October, I met with a young German start-up CEO who had integrated the open-source approach by DeepSeek into his Mind-Verse platform and made it comply with German data privacy (DSGVO) standards. Since then, many rumors have been circulating that China has chosen a different architectural structure for its foundation model—one that relies not only on open source, but is also much more efficient, requiring neither the same level of training data nor the same compute resources.

When it comes to DeepSeek, this is not a singular “breakthrough moment.” Rather, AI development continues on an exponential trajectory: progress is becoming faster, its impact broader, and with increasing investment and more engineers involved, fundamental breakthroughs in engineering and architecture are just beginning. Contrary to some market spokespeople, investors, and even certain foundation model pioneers, this is not solely about throwing infinite compute at the problem; we are still far from understanding core aspects of reasoning, consciousness, and the “operating model” (or software layers) of the human mind.

Additionally DeepSeek is (was) not a government-sponsored initiative; supposedly, even the prime minister was surprised and visited Hangzhou to understand what was happening. Although Scale AI founder Alexander Wang claims that China already has a significant number of powerful H100 GPUs (about 50,000), yet—based on U.S. export laws—this fact is not publicly acknowledged. DeepSeek is reported to have only about 150 engineers, each earning in the range of $70–100k, which is eight to ten times lower than top engineering salaries in Silicon Valley.

So, regardless of whether they have powerful GPUs or whether $6 million or $150 million was invested, it is nowhere near the billions—or tens of billions—poured into other major AI competitors. This example shows that different engineering and architectural approaches do exist and may be waiting to be uncovered. Most likely, this is not the ultimate approach, but it also challenges the current VC narrative that “it’s all about compute and scale.” Moreover, the open-source mindset behind DeepSeek challenges the typical approach to LLMs and highlights both the advantages and the potential risks.

Sam Altman is rumored to be hosting a “behind-closed-doors” meeting with the Trump administration on January 30th, where he plans to present so-called “PhD-level” AI agents—or super agentic AI. How “super” this will be remains unclear, and it is unlikely there will be any public declaration of achieving AGI. Still, when Mark Zuckerberg suggests Meta will soon publish substantial progress, and Elon Musk hints at new breakthroughs with Groc, DeepSeek is just another “breakthrough” that illustrates how fast the market is moving.

Once agentic AIs come online, they introduce a structural shift: agentic AI is not about merely responding to a prompt, but about pursuing a goal. Through a network of super agents, massive amounts of data are gathered and analyzed, while real products and tasks are delivered autonomously. What is interesting about Sam Altman not making a public appearance and release, his meeting with the U.S. The government hints at potential risks and consequences.

We are at the Verge of Hyper-Efficiency and Hyper-Innovation

What we are seeing is the compound effect of investment and ever-growing teams working on these models, with few signs of a slowdown. Needless to say, any quantum breakthroughs would be the next frontier—essentially “AI on steroids”—where the magnitude of change could increase exponentially. On the positive side, this can unleash innovations in health and medicine like never before in human history.

In the near future, broader access to AI tools will probably benefit infrastructure providers and hyperscalers such as AWS. It is unclear if this will put NVIDIA at a disadvantage or actually benefit it: as “everyone” joins the AI race, there could be more demand for compute, not just from big U.S. tech players like OpenAI. Meanwhile, Anthropic and OpenAI run closed ecosystems, but DeepSeek’s public paper shares many of its core methods.

The greatest risk to the U.S. and its current AI dominance is that China does have talent and the strong work ethic to keep pushing forward. Trade sanctions won’t stop that. As more engineers come together and keep working, the odds of major breakthroughs increase.

The Battle of Distrust

Globally, the U.S. is losing trust. The “don’t trust China” narrative is fading in many parts of the world. While Donald Trump on the surface gains respect, global leaders are quietly looking for alternatives in the background to mitigate. Europe and other Asian nations don’t want to be “hostage” to U.S. technology and will open up to new options.

Technology doesn’t evolve overnight, and we’ve only seen the start of the breakthroughs to be announced by Groc, Meta, and OpenAI. Simultaneously, new capital will continue pouring in, and other regions will join the race, now that it’s clear money alone isn’t everything. The future might not necessarily be bad for NVIDIA, either, since data centers could appear everywhere, enabling a more global roll-out of AI and creating opportunities for many.

From Prompting to Action

There are still numerous smaller AI companies that have received massive funding purely on hope and hype. Yet new approaches to foundation models—via architectural and engineering innovation—can continue to drive progress. And once we “hack” biology or chemistry with AI, we may see entirely new levels of breakthroughs.

Looking toward the rest of 2025, we can expect more “super-agent” breakthroughs, as agentic AI and LQMs (Large Quantitative Models) push generative AI beyond fun language-based tools to genuine human worker replacements. Not only will financial modeling and analysis be optimized, but also execution—the entire cycle of booking, planning, and organizing—could shift to autonomous agents. Over time, these integrated, adaptive agents will replace more and more use cases where humans currently remain in the loop. This might also be one of the biggest threats to society: coping with extreme pressures on market economies under hyper-efficiency and hyper-innovation. In 2025, we are likely to see breakthroughs in education, science, health, consulting, and finance. With multiple compounding effects in play, we’ll likely experience hyper-efficiency and widespread growth.

However, the looming threats are real. Agentic, at-scale AI can still fall victim to hallucinations, and now anyone with a few million dollars can build their own model—potentially for malicious use. While a global, open approach to AI can be positive, many engineering and research challenges remain unsolved, leaving high risks. With the U.S. laser-focused on AI, the race to surpass human-level intelligence is on.

What ISPs offer the best speeds, prices and coverage in Moreno Valley? CNET's connectivity experts have done the legwork.

Here are the answers for The New York Times Mini Crossword for Jan. 31.

Everyone gets a creative impulse sometimes. Maybe you have a great idea for a novel, want to take up painting as a hobby, write songs with your kids, or just come up with fun rhymes for birthday cards. But inspiration can be elusive, and it can be hard to keep going if you hit a roadblock. Building up those creative muscles can be a lot easier with the help of AI tools, and Google Gemini can be a particularly useful catalyst, pushing your ideas in directions you might not have considered.

Google tends to hype Gemini's productivity angle, but with the right approach, Gemini can be a muse, editor, sounding board, and multimedia collaborator. The AI can help refine, remix, and reimagine your projects. I've assembled five of the best ways you can use Gemini to spark a creative project and make it amazing.

Crucially, these ideas don't replace your efforts with AI; rather, they elevate your creativity and can make the sometimes difficult process a lot more fun.

1. Brainstorm Ideas with AI-Powered Prompts

"I want to do something creative" is the first essential thought, but sometimes your mind might feel like an empty field with a tumbleweed blowing across it. If you want to get those creative juices flowing, you don't have to stare at a blank page. You can brainstorm with Google Gemini and come up with ideas based on a favorite genre, medium, mood, or just a random thought.

For instance, say you want to write a short story but have no idea what to write about. You could ask Gemini:

"Give me five unique short story ideas based on the theme of lost time, but make each one a different genre."

Or if you're looking to paint but want to branch out from your usual topics, you might try:

"Suggest three surreal painting concepts that combine natural landscapes with dreamlike elements."

This approach works for almost any creative pursuit. A songwriter stuck on their next piece could ask Gemini for unusual lyrical themes, like:

"Give me three song concepts inspired by the perspective of inanimate objects."

You're never starting from scratch by using Gemini as a brainstorming partner. It’s like bouncing ideas off a digital muse with infinite patience.

2. Generate Outlines

(Image credit: Created with Google Gemini)

That first concept is all some people need to get going, but working out the broad strokes of your creative brilliance is tough. The bigger the project, the more important it is, though. Plenty of novels and screenplays benefit from outlining, and paintings are often better after some practice sketches. A strong outline can prevent you from getting lost in the weeds, and Gemini is excellent at helping break down complex ideas into manageable steps.

Say you’re writing a fantasy novel about a young girl who discovers an ancient, forgotten magic. You might ask Gemini:

"Create a detailed chapter-by-chapter outline for a fantasy novel where a girl accidentally unseals an ancient power and must go on a journey to control it before it destroys her homeland."

The AI will provide a structured framework, but that doesn’t mean you must follow it strictly. It's a cookbook where you can pick recipes you like, modify others that don't fit your preferences, and let others inspire your own take on a meal. Rather than feeling overwhelmed, you’ll have a clear roadmap to follow, making the entire process much smoother.

Similarly, if you're working on a personal essay about an important memory, say for a wedding toast or memorial speech, Gemini can help organize your thoughts:

"Outline an essay about my first time going to the ocean with my grandmother and how it changed my perspective on life."

3. Create AI-Assisted Visuals for Inspiration

(Image credit: Created with Google Gemini)

Creativity isn’t just about words; the right image can spark all kinds of ideas. Gemini can generate AI-assisted images that help bring abstract ideas to life, helping you visualize something you're writing. It also can be an excellent tool for painters, illustrators, and costume designers.

Imagine you’re working on a sci-fi comic and need inspiration for an alien cityscape. You could describe what you’re envisioning and let Gemini generate an AI-assisted concept image:

"Create a concept sketch for a futuristic city that floats above an ocean and is powered by bioluminescent coral."

This works even if you aren’t an artist yourself. Maybe you’re a writer who wants to better visualize a setting before describing it or a filmmaker imagining set designs. Seeing a rough version of what’s in your head can help refine your vision.

Gemini can also help with more personal projects like mood boards. If you’re designing a new wardrobe style, you could ask:

"Generate a mood board of clothing inspired by 18th-century fashion with a cyberpunk twist."

The key here is that AI doesn’t replace human creativity. Instead, it amplifies your imagination by providing starting points you can tweak, remix, and develop further.

4. Overcome Creative Blocks with AI-Driven Reframing

(Image credit: Created with Google Gemini)

Every creative person has hit a roadblock at some point during a project. Maybe your novel’s middle section feels dull, your painting lacks something, but you don’t know what, or your standup set just isn’t flowing. Instead of getting frustrated, you can use Gemini to help you reframe the problem from a different perspective. Sometimes, the problem isn’t that you’re out of ideas, you’re only stuck because you've been looking at your project the same way for too long. Gemini helps you shake things up and see new possibilities.

For instance, if you’re writing a script and feel like a scene isn’t working, you might ask:

"Rewrite this scene, but from the perspective of the antagonist instead of the protagonist."

Or if you’re struggling with a poem’s final stanza, try:

"Give me three alternative last lines for a poem about the end of summer that leave the reader with a bittersweet feeling."

The same goes for visual art. If you’re unsure what’s missing from a digital painting, you could ask:

"Suggest a color scheme that would enhance the contrast and mood of this twilight landscape painting."

5. Mix and Match Different Creative Styles

(Image credit: Created with Google Gemini)

Some of the most interesting creative breakthroughs happen when you blend styles, themes, or influences that wouldn’t normally go together, just look at the million revamped versions of Shakespeare. Gemini can help you explore unexpected combinations and push your work in fresh directions.

If you’re a musician, you might ask:

"Describe what a folk song would sound like if it were composed in the style of 1980s synth-pop."

A writer working on a fairy tale could experiment with genre mashups:

"Rewrite ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ as a cyberpunk thriller with a corporate espionage twist."

Or maybe you’re a filmmaker looking to experiment with storytelling techniques:

"Give me five plot structures inspired by non-linear storytelling, like ‘Memento’ or ‘Pulp Fiction.’"

It's not unusual to get bored with your own ideas and start doubting the value of the whole effort just because you're so close to it. Remixing a style can renew your own interest as much as it can entice others. Working with Gemini is a creative project in its own way, one worth playing with to fuel your own creativity. If you get creative with how you engage with Gemini, you might be amazed at just how imaginative your efforts become.

• New Linux leak may have revealed Intel Battlemage GPUs
• The recent Linux patch had three code numbers
• If true, this could challenge Nvidia's 5000 series GPUs

Intel’s upcoming Arc Battlemage graphics cards have gotten plenty of media attention through rumors, reports, and just recently an official reveal from Intel itself. But a recent Linux leak has revealed several new cards, which could possibly pose a threat to Nvidia’s RTX 5000 series.

According to Tomasz Gawroński, a gaming hardware enthusiast on X, the most recent Linux patch may have revealed at least three new Arc Battlemage cards, which could be the anticipated powerful variants. The listing itself shows three code numbers, with the patch notes stating that it’ll “Add 3 new IDs for BMG.” Gawroński interpreted it as Intel adding three new Battlemage IDs in this patch.

Though there hasn’t been anything concrete in the leaked information establishing that these cards are higher-end models, if they are it could absolutely flip the market on its head. Intel’s graphics cards have been competitively priced since the tech giant first entered the market, with the B580 and B570 models proving as such. If Intel were to launch mid-range and high-end cards with that same mindset, this could strike a critical blow against AMD and especially Nvidia.

Of course, that’s if these code numbers turn out to be anything in the long run. This could all be meaningless in the end, which is why it’s important to take this leak with a healthy pinch of salt.

How this could turn the tables on Nvidia

Nvidia’s RTX 5000 series graphics cards managed to buck the expected trend of prices dramatically increasing every new generation. The flagship RTX 5090, for instance, is only a few or so hundred above the RTX 4090’s launch day MSRP, and the RTX 5070 is one-third of the 4090’s price while nearly matching its performance with the use of DLSS.

But even if the Arc Battlemage cards don’t match the performance of the 5000 series or AMD’s RX 9070, a cheaper price point would allow Team Blue to finally gain traction in the mid-range market as it has in the budget space — after all, there are plenty of gamers looking for cards that better fit their more cost efficient PC builds. We already know that the majority of gamers are still at 1080p, with only a chunk at 1440p as their main monitor resolution.

I, for one, truly hope this is the direction Team Blue goes in. As I’ve been saying for quite some time now, Team Green and Team Red need a fire lit under their backsides in terms of offering truly budget graphics cards. And that fire is clearly the threat of real competition.

• Intel announces its new Battlemage graphics cards, and they might just be the 1440p budget champions we've been waiting for
• Sorry, AMD, Nvidia's price tags for its RTX 5000 GPUs could win me over
• Where to buy Nvidia RTX 5090
