Intel lowers the price of the A750 GPU to $249 in the US, which is $30 less than at launch. The reduced price is supposed to apply worldwide, but Intel does not share prices for other regions. So Intel has announced the improvements to its new "4086" driver (although the latest driver is 4091). It is said to deliver 10% to 77% more [...]

According to the AMD, the flagship Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 16 cores will cost the same as the "original" Ryzen 9 7950X with 16 cores at launch, which is $699. This processor will launch on February 28 along with the Ryzen 9 7900X3D, which is a 12-core version. AMD has priced this model at $599, which is $50 more than the 7900X's launch [...]
NVIDIA PG137 (TITAN ADA) – board of the graphics processor with 48 GB memory spotted during delivery
Meanwhile, NVIDIA is shipping PG137 engineering boards to development centers around the world. Apparently, one of the devices was discovered by a company that monitors shipping lists going to India. The GPU manufacturer has at least sent a few test boards to its local development center. The design of the PG137 board known as a potential TITAN [...]
YuuKi was one of the first to publish Intel’s Sapphire Rapids engineering samples. No photos of the Sierra Forest processor have been released, but a photo of the new socket design has surfaced. However, it does not show the socket itself, but a protective cover with the inscription LGA-7529, which indicates a higher pin count than Sapphire [...]
After we last looked at two Ultrawide monitors, we now return to the 16:9 format. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ-W takes on the test marathon. Another ROG-branded gaming monitor as far as the eye can see. The monitor comes with a resolution of 2560 x 1440p and up to 170 Hz – on an IPS panel with RGB subpixel layout and 8-bit color depth. Even [...]
Colorful was the first to submit a factory overclocked RTX 4070 non-Ti graphics card to the GPU-Z validation database, which is presumably the source for this information. This could mean that the card is already running in the labs and is now being tested with non-standard clocks. Allegedly, the RTX 4070 has a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost [...]
Soon the Arc Control software, which is now integrated in the graphics drivers for all Arc Alchemist GPUs and Iris Xe graphics cards (although it is optional), will receive an overdue update. According to Linus Sebastian, the update will affect the software’s display. It will no longer be (just) an overlay, which was the main reason why the [...]
Today I’m testing the Alphacool Aurora Acryl GPX-N RTX 4090 FE Eisblock, the third water block for NVIDIA’s top-of-the-line model, and the picture is getting more and more solidified as to which cooler design is really good and usable. And this is where it gets really exciting: Alphacool’s cooler costs a whopping 90 to 100 Euros [...]
Both the Roccat Vulcan II Max and the Roccat Kone XP Air are not new, but somehow they are a bit different. Of course, this first raises the serious question of the sense or nonsense of a review long time after the release, long after the usual media have already more or less gratefully embraced these two products. Now, you can argue about RGB and [...]
Rumor has it that the RTX 4090Ti/TITAN features a four-slot design, and the I/O bracket houses four stacked display connectors. This unusual construction would confirm that NVIDIA could have planned a vertical board layout here. According to the leaker, the card is an RTX 4090 Ti/TITAN, although the final name of the graphics card is not confirmed [...]
The CPU-Z tool shows information about Intel’s new 13th generation Core Mobile series. Generation, which also includes the latest HX 55W models and the power-saving chips codenamed Alder Lake-N. There was an announcement for both product lines at CES 2023. Intel’s latest 24-core, 6 GHz processor, the Core i9-13900KS, is also now fully [...]
Reddit user xCuri0 reports that the AMD Polaris architecture is not compatible with the game Forspoken, which requires a higher version of the API functions. While the architecture supports the DirectX12 graphics API, Forspoken requires a higher feature level. The basic DX12 specification is supported by almost all graphics cards still in use [...]
There are days when you would prefer not to get up at all. And there are devices that are still standing. Still. Like Toni’s flatulence station, which just ran Thor’s hammer….
According to Intel insiders, the company will significantly upgrade its graphics card drivers, especially for older games that use DirectX9. In recent months, PC Games Hardware had focused heavily on the status of the Intel Arc graphics card drivers, mainly because Intel had several problems with the software for the Arc GPUs during the launch [...]
A new article has been published on AMD’s community page that deals with the current Radeon RX 7000/6000 GPUs. In the current performance rankings, the latest RDNA3 GPUs naturally occupy the top places, but they are also a lot more expensive than their RDNA2 predecessors at the same time. Bearbeite die Übersetzung in Deutsch The chart shows [...]
By using the GPU to decompress game content, Microsoft’s DirectStorage technology can certainly improve load times. Could, at least in theory. Consequently, the more data that is then processed via the GPU, the more likely it is that gamers will notice a loss of graphics performance. The German PC Games Hardware team demonstrated just that [...]
To date, MaxSun has only launched one RTX 40 GPU, the RTX 4080 iCraft. The company’s RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 models have a lot more in common, as they both use a similar 3-slot design with 3 fans. But more importantly, they also have the same white cooler outfit. The iCraft MaxSun RTX 4070 Ti relies on the usual AD104 GPU with 7680 [...]
The Taiwanese company was in no hurry to introduce its latest WinFast model. The card follows the design of the RTX 4090/4080 variants, which also feature three fans with a large X-shaped cover. In terms of size, the RTX 4070 Ti is just as thick as the AD102/103-based models and requires 3.5 slots (68.3 mm). However, it is slightly shorter (~3 cm) [...]
We remember that NVIDIA launched an updated version of the RTX 3060 Ti model in October last year, but we haven’t seen a proper review of this card until now, probably because the availability of these cards was limited. Now the Polish ithardware site has the KFA2/GALAX RTX 3060 Ti G6X OC model available and has done a comparison with RTX [...]
AMD has released its latest Radeon Software 23.1.2 drivers, which only support the RX 7000 series and not previous generation cards. According to TechpowerUp, it has now been 48 days since the red team released a driver for its previous generation cards. The lack of updates for older AMD graphics cards, especially for the Radeon RX 6000 GPUs, is [...]
