The wait has finally come to an end: AMD Radeon RX Vega64 in test

AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition review: Hiking between the worlds

This means that it is already in the approximate, where AMD actually wants to go. While Nvidia has to be careful not to cannibalize its own sister card, the Quadro P6000, AMD does not (currently) have an in-house sister, which can be used with it. With Vega, AMD is now offering a new generation of GPUs that will have received over 200 changes and [...]

Pascal-Roundup #2: Nvidias GeForce GTX 1060 in comparison

Fine sound with light dent: Meze 99 Neo in test

We do not want to roll out the company history and philosophy now, as anyone interested can read for themselves when visiting the meze homepage. The 99 Neo is a logical continuation of what you can do with the 99 Classics before... The microphone is a stink-normal, omnidirectional transducer without allures and ticks, but also no more. It's [...]


In review: Sound BlasterX Katana – An evening at the sound bar

The Katana ("Shinken") as a Japanese longsword, like the soundbar, is definitely not a double-edged thing. And if one were to look at the soundbar without the subwoofer in front of his spiritual eye, then the slender, elongated part would be simmering. Measurements with different settings Let's get back to the presets and the [...]


Reason Pack: KFA2 / Galax GTX 1080 Ti EXOC in review

In contrast to the ex-factory very high overclocked EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Gaming, KFA2 / Galax is a deliberate use of reason and mediocrity, so that two fans on this rather slim dual slot card should be enough. In general, the... The board is a good old acquaintance and comes directly from Nvidia. This in turn confirms that it is simply an [...]
