MSI Afterburner is giving NVIDIA GPU owners access to hidden settings with its latest 4.6.7 Beta 5 update. The new “out-of-warranty” mode unlocks advanced controls for GPU clocks, voltage and temperature limits, along with more detailed hardware monitoring. These settings could be useful for enthusiasts who want more control over their graphics cards, but be careful. Changing the wrong settings can affect power limits and thermal protection, and MSI won’t cover problems caused by using these controls. Via: videocardz

Amazon France is being accused of refusing to replace a defective RTX 5080 under warranty. The MSI RTX 5080 Shadow’s power connector burned, the customer asked Amazon for a replacement, but support offered only a refund of around €1,200 or told him to deal with MSI. The problem is that Amazon still has RTX 5080 cards in stock, but they now cost about €200 more. The customer argues that EU consumer law gives buyers the right to choose between a repair and a replacement when a product is defective, unless the chosen solution is impossible or would place an unreasonable cost on the seller. He has already filed complaints with the European Consumer Centre and France’s SignalConso consumer protection service.

🚨 MSK’s @AndreaCercek presented full interim results from the AZUR-1 trial at #ESMO26# in Madrid. The trial tested Jemperli (dostarlimab) in people with stage 2 and 3 rectal cancer whose tumors are mismatch repair-deficient (MMRd) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H). Among patients for whom the approach worked, no cancer has returned during follow-up. The approach, developed at MSK by Dr. Cercek and Dr. Luis Diaz Jr. (@ldiaz1971), allows some patients to avoid treatments that can have life-altering consequences, including infertility and bowel and bladder dysfunction. The @FDA approved the approach in October 2026, calling it "groundbreaking. “It’s incredibly rewarding,” says Dr. Cercek, “to get these happy tears and happy emails from the patients who finish treatment and realize, ‘Oh my God, I get to keep all my normal body functions that I feared I might lose to radiation or surgery.’” Learn more:
