OnePlus 9 pre-production unit leaked, sold for 6,000 on eBay

The OnePlus 9 pre-production unit that was leaked earlier this month has apparently been sold for $6,000 on eBay. The pictures were first posted by PhoneArena but soon after a listing of the same or a similar prototype unit surfaced on eBay priced at $3,000. As per PhoneArena, the device in question was a T-Mobile variant but the one listed on eBay is an unlocked version that’s compatible with all GSM carriers. This particular listing was taken down shortly afterwards as few images of the OnePlus 9 prototype contained device identifiers that would have easily led the company to track the owner of the phone. The OnePlus 9 prototype surfaced again in a new listing but at $6,000. The seller added a text in the new listing that says, “I am not responsible for oneplus erasing this phone or anything they may do to the phone after purchase period. If you purchase this you agree to those terms.” It will probably be very, very easy for OnePlus to trace this device back to its owner. I don...

Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti with 20GB VRAM and RTX 3060 Ti with 12GB VRAM leaked

Nvidia’s new cards have created a stir in the GPU space offering higher performance at a lower price when compared to the predecessors. The entry-level RTX 3060 packs a similar performance to RTX 2080 for a fraction of the price at the time when the cards were released. Since the announcement of the RTX 30 series cards, rumors of an Nvidia RTX 3080 with 20GB VRAM have been circulating given the gap between RTX 3080 10GB and RTX 3090 24GB cards. It seemed quite obvious that NVIDIA would fill this gap and release a card to fill the void.  Very little information has surfaced about the RTX 3080 Ti (or RTX 3080 Super) till now.

Players discover Cyberpunk 2077s railway system that was left out from final game

Cyberpunk 2077 has been in the news for a number of reasons these days, for issues like bugs, crazy physics, or performance issues essentially making the game unplayable for certain gamers. This time around, a player has found a feature that was seemingly removed from the game before release. A Reddit user called Sybekul shared a video, showing a Railway system for the game that was removed from the final version.

Although the game has trains, they cannot be ridden by the player. The video clip shows the player following train tracks and entering a large building that appears to be a Railway station. Inside, the building is missing floors, ceiling, walls, and other assets which show that this feature of the game is left incomplete. Before the release, CD Projekt Red had announced that th...
