40 Containers of RTX 3090s worth more than $300k stolen from MSI facility in China

0

Since the release of Nvidia’s next-gen Ampere RTX 3000 series GPUs this September, PC gamers as well as system builders are having a hard time obtaining the GPUs of their choice.

With a particularly limited supply of GPUs available and exceptionally high demand, the GPUs are already hard to come by and sell at a premium. 

Even if someone is willing to sell these Golden chips the scalpers swoop in and claim the GPUs before anyone is able to purchase them. The supply is really limited right now, and as such the price these GPUs are selling for is already higher than the MSRP set by Nvidia.

Since these GPUs are highly sought-after products right now, some enterprising thieves in China have stolen 40 containers of top-end RTX 3090 GPUs from an MSI factory in China taking the shortages to the next level. 

According to a report, some thieves broke into an MSI factory in China and stole 40 containers of RTX 3090s which account for more than 200 units of the said GPU adding up to more than $300,000 worth of GPUs stolen.

Currently, a single RTX 3090 retails for $1500 however, due to the current shortage of GPUs RTX 3090s currently retails for more than $2000. So just going by the current pricing these GPUs are worth close to Half-a-Million dollars.

MSI believes that an insider was involved in the heist and stole the cards because the factory’s shipping area is covered by video cameras and other areas with no cameras are restricted from access to everyone. 

MSI is offering a reward of upto $15,000 to anyone who has effective information about the thieves which helps in recovering the cards.

According to user GoFlying8 on Twitter, MSI is offering a reward of upto $15,000 to anyone who has effective information about the thieves which helps in recovering the cards.

MSI Chinese mainland factory was stolen, stolen 40 boxes RTX3090, the total value of 2200000RMB . MSI has been officially announced and informed to the police, Reward of 100000 RMB for reporting effective information.

CD Projekt Red’s much anticipated and hyped open-world RPG game Cyberpunk 2077 releases this week on December 10th and pre-load for the game is already live on multiple platforms. With the release imminent, the early reviews for the game are already coming in and according to those reviews, the game is fully loaded with content from the main story to its accompanying side quests.

While some reviewers mention the campaign being shorter than that of The Witcher 3, the game includes abundant side quests that are as interesting as the main campaign and tackles the shorter campaign complaints.

How long is Cyberpunk 2077?

If you are rushing through the main story skipping up on side quests (not skipping on dialogues) then the game will take around 25-30 hours in general. While if you are doing some side quests together with the main story then the campaign will take around 45-50 hours to complete. As for fellow completionists aiming for a 100% run, the game will easily take more than 175 hours+, according to a developer who claims to have played for more than 175 hours without seeing everything.

Cyberpunk Campaign

The length of the campaign lines up perfectly with CD Projekt Red’s previous claims of the main campaign being a little shorter than The Witcher 3. The decision to include a shorter campaign was partially due to players’ feedback that The Witcher 3 was too long. As to compensate for a shorter campaign the developer include abundant side quests that playout no less than the main story.

New CSGO Update Fixes Game Breaking Exploit on Engage

A new update has been shipped to CSGO today, and it aims to fix the game-breaking exploit on Engage along with some other miscellaneous changes.

The exploit on Engage, as we had reported earlier, could be executed by three or more terrorists to instantly crash their CSGO clients. When playing on the T-side of Engage, if three players simultaneously used the new ‘Ping’ function on the rotating car near the T-spawn, the CSGO client instantly crashes for all of the players involved.

When managed to execute properly, players would see their game freezing for a couple of seconds before eventually showing an error message that the application had stopped responding.

The December 7th CSGO update has finally fixed this exploit after repeated complaints from fans.

Call of Duty: Mobile WC 2020 Grand Finals has been canceled

The grand finals for Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship for 2020 has been put off, announced Activision.

In their official statement, they expressed their concern for the fans, players and everyone involved in hosting an event of that magnitude. Given the COVID situation, hosting an live event will put hundreds, even thousands of lives at a risk at the same time. As the cons out weigh the pros, Activision has called off the playoffs for 2020.

To be held in Los Angeles, this was the first big event for the budding scene of CODM that is to face an unsatisfying conclusion. Teams will miss out on the $750000 prize pool, along with the thrill to fight tooth and nail for it. Activision has decided to distribute the sum among the teams from regional playoffs, before expressing their excitement for the future of CODM as an esport.

The teams who made it to the CODM World Championship 2020 were:

  • Rejection
  • Influence Rage
  • Tribe Gaming
  • Kings Clan
  • Team Mayhem
  • T1
  • NRX JEREMIAH

The World Championship was announced earlier boasting a prize pool of $1 million. It is unfortunate that such planning and investment in a growing scene will go in vain for unavoidable circumstances. Activision however promised to not give up on the scene yet, as they remain excited for its future like us.

PUBG Mobile bans 1.4 million accounts in one week

0

PUBG Mobile revealed a big progress in their anti-cheat program. The officials have revealed that they have banned over 1.4 million accounts in the period of seven days.

PUBG Mobile made the anti-cheating announcement on several social media platforms and the numbers are huge for the timeframe of seven days. From 27th November to 3rd December, PUBG Mobile has banned a total of 1,450,234 accounts.

The numbers are frankly astonishing. PUBG Mobile is a massively popular game across the world, especially in Asia where mobile gaming is a significantly larger industry than in the West, but banning over two million accounts in a week seems incredible.

Unsurprisingly the most common cheats used in PUBG mobile relate to being able to see enemies and auto-aiming at them. The announcement post for the bans revealed that 24% of cheaters were banned for x-ray vision cheats and 26% were banned for auto-aim cheats.

Both of these types of cheats will obviously offer a massive advantage, but they can at times be hard to spot. Someone with x-ray vision could have heard you moving and know where you are, or figured out your location in another way.

And someone with auto-aim could just have incredible reactions and skill. Sometimes they can be obvious to spot, but a lot of the time it isn’t totally clear, which perhaps suggests why they are the most popular types of cheats.

The bans are distributed into several categories as follows:

  • X-Ray Vision – Cheaters who used stuff like wall-hack or any other cheat that allows them to spot enemies from a long distance. 24% were banned for using this.
  • Auto-Aim Hacks – The name says it all. The infamous hack was used by 26% of total banned players.
  • Speed Hacks – If you have ever spotted a Flash in-game, they were one of the speedhackers. 19% were banned for using this hack.
  • Modification of Parameters: Area Damage modifications led to 13% bans and modified character models led to 1% of bans.
  • Others – Exploiting the game in any other way possible. 17% were banned for using this.
