An interesting video comparison between two graphics cards under $250, the Intel Arc A750 and AMD’s Radeon RX 6600 non-XT, has been published by Techtesters. Neither variant is a high-end gaming card, of course, but for many gamers out there, it’s still a decent option. With the recently announced price reduction for the Arc A750 to [...]
Introduced by NVIDIA at CES 2023, RTX Super Video Resolution technology improves video quality by artificially upscaling content to a higher resolution. This feature will be available on the latest RTX 30 and 40 GPUs in February, with RTX 20-series support coming later. Google released the Chrome 110 web browser this week, which already supports [...]
Four new PCI device IDs were found, which do not belong to any of the currently known NVIDIA graphics cards. The designations are in no way official, but have been suggested by the operators of the PCI ID database, who often receive initial information earlier. Allegedly, four new mobile GPUs will be launched soon, each with a different GPU model: [...]
I deliberately took a bit more time this time by testing the Solidigm P44 Pro briefly at first and then using it in the workstation for a longer time. The Solidigm P44 Pro is ultimately just a SK hynix Platinum P41 under a different name and with modified firmware. The tested 1 TB version is one of three P44 models that are available with 512 GB [...]
The “Rocket Lake-S” series of the 11. Core generation is now on its final way to the virtual Intel graveyard. This week Intel released a “Product Change Notification” informing about the upcoming change. This affects a large number of desktop and workstation CPUs based on this architecture. The production shutdown process [...]
The RX 7900 XT Sakura is the latest model from the Chinese company Yeston. The model line is a continuation of the brand, which is now firmly established in Asia, with anime-inspired characters and colorful and completely individual designs. You can like that, but you don’t have to. And so it also has a little bit of a unicorn character [...]
After all the monitors, it’s time for a change. The ASUS ROG Chakram X comes at the right time, because we’ll get to the bottom of the marketing regarding the 8,000 Hz polling rate today. Since I’ve been testing the mouse at home since October 2022, I’ll introduce you to the device as a whole. However, my focus is clearly [...]
PowerColor’s official website has now confirmed the design of the new card and some basic facts, but so far without more detailed specifications. This is PowerColor’s first and so far only Radeon RX 7000 GPU designed for liquid cooling. The Liquid Devil does not have a hybrid cooler, but relies on an EK-designed water block. Therefore [...]
How to get the bow elegantly with the fat cable on the much too small plug has already been discussed long and wide. And as an outsider, you can criticize all sorts of things and conveniently blame the user, but that doesn’t solve the actual problem. It’s no secret that CableMod now offers suitable angle adapters for all installation [...]
The GAMING CLASSIC is a sub-variant of the GAMING series for Radeon 7900 GPUs. But there is also a SUPRIM model for the RTX 4090 series. The commonality of both cards is the fact that they use a last-generation cooling solution, possibly in the hope of saving money. The SUPRIM Classic has just been officially launched in China. The amazing thing [...]
GALAX enters the gaming display market with the announcement of its new 27-inch gaming monitor. The monitor features a high-resolution quantum dot-in-plane switching display with a refresh rate of up to 165 Hz and an MPRT response time of 1 ms. The new display is the first gaming display in the VIVANCE series to have NVIDIA G-Sync certification [...]
nVIDIA has just provided updated details on the embargo for the upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 non-Ti model. While the company has not officially given an exact date, it has already informed its board partners that the launch will be in April. All embargo information is currently TBD (to be determined), but the "on-shelf" launch, also known [...]
AMD has already proven how much 3D V-cache can benefit gamers with the Ryzen 7 5800 X3D and is now in the starting blocks to present its second-generation 3D V-cache chips with the Ryzen 7000 X3D. The Zen4 3D V-cache CPUs launching later this month could likely bring similarly massive performance gains in the gaming space, and masn is good at [...]
The Acer Predator is definitely a highly interesting SSD, because it combines a rather unknown controller (which does without DRAM as cache) with a very special Chinese 3D TLC NAND from YMTC. In this form, it is even (on paper) one of the fastest PCIe-4 SSDs without DRAM cache and probably the most efficient SSD in this segment at all. Even if it [...]
The first NVMe SSDs compatible with the latest PCI Express standard are now available from CFD Gaming. Even though platforms supporting this technology have been available to consumers for over a year, SSD manufacturers have not been in a hurry. Even months after AMD and Intel unveiled their latest and updated platforms with expanded support for [...]
A Chinese tech outlet provides another leak showing AMD’s upcoming 8-core Zen4 architecture processors. Just yesterday, the same account published the very first results of the integrated Radeon 780M RDNA3 GPU in 3DMark TimeSpy, to today also publish the first CPU benchmarks. Going by the name Ryzen 7 7840HS, the processor is an 8-core / 16 [...]
The Sendy Audio Aiva has me touched (and not just because it’s a magnetostat), and has made me wonder a bit both beforehand and afterward. But more about that in a moment, because I have to elaborate a bit more. However, why I’m testing a pair of headphones for 649 Euros today is quickly explained: I’m currently testing an [...]
Presumably, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 GPU with AD106 GPU offers almost the performance of a 3070 Ti with 26% lower power consumption. The name of this particular GeForce RTX 40 GPU hasn’t been decided yet, according to Chiphell, but it features the full AD106 GPU die with 4608 CUDA cores and 8 GB of memory, which means it should offer a 128 [...]
With the Liquid Devil series, PowerColor will soon launch a liquid-cooled RX 7900 card. The company has already launched several “LD” models with pre-installed water block, and each time they were equipped by EK Water Blocks. It is confirmed that the new iteration will also be equipped with EK Waterblocks, and it will feature similar [...]
Even though Intel will launch these new processors under the Xeon brand, they are the spiritual successors of the long-forgotten Core X series. The future Xeon W2400 and W3400 series will not only have many more cores based on the latest architecture, but also support all modern technologies like DDR5 or PCIe Gen5. This is undoubtedly an important [...]
