It’s done, even if it took a long time: the RBE now also supports older AMD graphics cards with Polaris chip. My personal thanks go to the community in general and to mynm in particular, because this time he did all the work and built everything into the RBE, while hellm did the background [...]
That NVIDIA’s Ampere would trigger such a hypetrain, one could have known, yes one should have. I had guessed it (even if not to the extent that it happened) and so I took the full risk in the end and let myself be tempted to a server move at dawn on the Ampere Hype special day. Thank God [...]
It couldn't be easier and if you put it to it and are not busy recording the video, then you can do the professional dismantling in well under 10 minutes. Let me show you how it's done.
As I have to deal with Ampere more than the article plan is good for, I have packed all my thoughts and visual comparisons into not very serious pictures to bridge the gap. I am not allowed to show the card in operation yet, but the NDA never mentioned the plug. So we’ll just use this instead [...]
NVIDIA has recently introduced the GeForce RTX 30 series with an Ampere-based chip for home users, and is expected to launch its prosumer and workstation-oriented Quadro RTX graphics cards in the Ampere-based range soon. The NVIDIA Quadro RTX series started in 2018 with the Turing GPUs ahead of the [...]
Who doesn’t remember the good times when you beat an Intel quad-core Q6600 with G0 stepping, preferably at a DFI Lanparty with X38 chipset, towards the 4 GHz? Back then, Intel’s binning was quite easy. The good chips from the middle of the wafer, if it was a good wafer, got the highest [...]
The nice thing about NDAs is that they always keep the tension so high, but the stupid thing is that you are not even allowed to know that such a confidentiality agreement exists. However, if you are sitting next to someone on the bus who was at the hairdresser’s yesterday, like me, where [...]
The demand for the Founders Edition of the GeForce RTX 3080 should be immense, because with a circulated performance above an old “T-Rex”, thus the Titan RTX, for 699 Euro, greed should quickly eat up the brain. A spending spree in a green bloodlust? That’s not so unlikely. In any [...]
Latest memory chips, such as Micron’s GDDR6X modules on the GeForce RTX 3080 allow the internal protection mechanism to be used for special protection mechanisms (e.g. the clocking down) of the chip temperature Tjunction with suitable software, which is a nice addition in itself, anyone would [...]
The long awaited day has arrived and yes, there is a lot to report. Of course there are tests for 10 games in two resolutions and 17 tests for workstation applications and studio apps – that will be a lot of output for me and tons of input for you. I had threatened you weeks ago a hot autumn [...]
Already at the beginning of 2019, Corsair presented the Capellix RGB LEDs developed together with Primax at CES, the “next stage” of multicoloured component lighting. With 40% less consumption, up to 60% more brightness and 35% longer life compared to conventional SMD LEDs, the new [...]
Just before the launch of Ampere, NVIDIA is quickly unleashing two tools that can make life easier for reviewers and technology enthusiasts. In today’s article “NVIDIA LDAT – Latency Display Analysis Tool Introduced and Quite Exclusively Tested” you will learn everything [...]
The fact that you generally use the FPS, i.e. the rendered frames per second, as a benchmark for the gaming performance, is common but actually anything but target-oriented. If you know my metrics in the graphics card tests, you will have noticed that for some years now, I have been using the frame [...]
The GeForce RTX 3090 as the upcoming top dog and the RTX 3080 as the current flagship rely on the GA102 processor, which does pretty much everything differently than before. With the stated 10,496 CUDA cores, at least on paper (but not only there), an incredible number of ALUs are banged in, which [...]
Since the new 12-pin sockets are so well known and one of the NDAs has fallen in the meantime, one should also clean up some of the rumours, mistakes and confusion. In the end, only a small communication lapse led to half of the power supply industry suddenly gasping for breath in panic and [...]
Yesterday Intel officially launched its new Tiger Lake processors of the 11th generation. Generation with a brand new CPU and GPU architecture. The new Intel Tiger Lake CPUs are based on the company’s current 10nm++ node, which offers improved performance efficiency over Ice Lake processors [...]
For those who were not able to watch the livestream or simply want to get more information afterwards – I have put together the most important PR slides again chronologically for presentation and sorted out some of them.
So now it has only just begun, the complete RTX’ing of the whole universe. Because if up to now either the prices for the powerhouses or the missing muscle weakness in the lower shelf area were gallantly in the way of a traced mass infection, now finally also for the small price people we [...]
