Today we build ourselves a notebook! Well, I don’t want to exaggerate, but that’s the beauty of such a barebone: you can actually put in what you would like to have (or think you have to have). Based on the Clevo X170KM-G, that’s no secret, I simply assembled the XMG Ultra 17 myself once, and again, there’s not a dry eye in [...]
Since I have to do some longer tests now and then, like this notebook test, which takes more than just one day, I’ll give you a not-so-serious picture gallery as a mental compensation instead of a serious review, while I’m sitting up here in the lab and sweating. Light fare in hard times also has something, so just enjoy the next pages [...]
As if the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and 3070 Ti weren’t enough, an RTX 3090 Ti could now be on the way as well, according to various speculations. That this is probably not the case, can be clarified quite quickly, because I have checked all my sources. The leak of the supposed NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti was originally published by PC Mania [...]
AMD had recently released the first open source Linux graphics driver code for a new GPU called Beige Goby. Listed in it, Beige Goby is the latest Linux-specific codename used for new hardware enablements in their graphics drivers. We remember: After the Dimgrey Cavefish, the Sienna Cichlid, the Navy Flounder and others, the Beige Goby is now the [...]
The ancient Greek god of light knows all too well about well-timed archery shots into the heels of others. Whether these expertises can also be transferred to the performance and illumination of RAM in modern times, however, remains to be seen today. Acer Predator and BIWIN are launching a product series called Apollo, which should live up to the [...]
Of course, when AMD launches the RX 6600XT and RX 6600 soon, we’ll already know most of it. With Navi23 AMD relies, as already with the RX 5500XT and Navi13, on a chip that can be used both as an external graphics card and in the notebook as a dedicated chip. This has advantages and disadvantages, as we will see in a moment. However, in [...]
Bang frog, China-Böller, widowmaker – for the range of selected cheap cruelties from the Far East there are many harmless paraphrases. But that this electronic waste is literally fire-hazardous, I had to learn (once again) first hand during a short experiment. But trial makes you smart and so I didn’t let what I wanted to do without [...]
What is the real amount of work and know-how that goes into a modern computer power supply? We know the finished products, test and compare them – but that’s all. The forums are full of open questions and often enough the necessary transparency of the providers is missing. I was first allowed a semi-official look behind the scenes of a [...]
Hello everyone, unfortunately I have been very busy with work for the last few weeks. Therefore, the next articles from me will be a bit delayed. Very annoying! After we already looked at NVIDIA Reflex and various sync technologies in terms of system latency, I have prepared another short review for you. In the article about NVIDIA Reflex and [...]
Since the author Yuri Bubliy (1usmus) has already set his software tool CTR EOL after the release of the successor “Project Hydra” and also does not offer any further suport, we have also removed the content from the website and link instead to the new, more comprehensive program, which offers full replacement and is also further [...]
The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 is a circumaural wireless headset with active noise cancelling and switchable ambient noise amplification. The PX7 is listed at various retailers from 319 euros, the RRP of Bowers & Wilkins for the PX7 is still 399 euros. All this is certainly not particularly cheap, but you get an acoustic and technical treat [...]
Intel had already announced the Xe (a.k.a. Gen12) graphics architecture in 2020, and step by step it was also concretized. The portfolio here ranges from integrated ultrabook chips and dedicated cards to genuine workstation and server cards. The one I want to show you today is factually currently at the top end of Intel’s graphics food chain [...]
Often a computer case accompanies us for many years and has to endure many an upgrade. At least, that’s how it is for me most of the time. My current case is now almost 8 years old and thus dates from a time when RGB and tempered glass were still dreams of the future. I always found the Air 540 with its two chambers and good airflow to be [...]
If I had criticized in the last articles about Sharkoon mice that only right-handed people can enjoy a good/cheap mouse, now left-handed people can also be happy. How the Light² S, which can be operated from both sides, performs in the test is revealed in the following article: Packaging and scope of delivery The design of the box is kept, it is [...]
With the Aqua Computer high flow NEXT, the Swiss Army Knife for custom loops with lots of functions and accuracy has been available since this year for just under 70 Euros. Does anyone remember the test of all the flow meters and the grandiose failure of all the display toys that weren’t even good for an estimate? At the time, I was not [...]
There is some movement in the leaker scene again and so it is not surprising that also various information about AMD’s next GPU leaks out. So now we could also enjoy new details about AMD’s next APU lineup, the Ryzen 6000 “Rembrandt”, published by ExecutableFix, a reputable leaker. In fact, according to his latest tweet, it [...]
It’s been a while since AMD set itself a spring 2021 timeframe target for its DLSS competitor, FidelityFX Super Resolution. Now TechTuber Coreteks speculates that you could probably be just a month away from launch. This is to be seen first with the usual caution, but it was to be noticed in return also that in this connection also from the [...]
You probably remember Intel’s DG1 and the somewhat unsuccessful attempts to get the dedicated DG1 to work at all on the original evaluation system. To those who accused us of negligence and outdated drivers at the time, let me wink and confirm: even with the latest sofware snippets, nothing still moves. Because whether this system was ever [...]
We recently tested the Arctic P12 PWM, with surprisingly good results. And because many readers have almost urged us to test the RGB version as well, we’ll do just that today. And even now I didn’t want to spoil anything, but the RGB variant in form of the Arctic P12 PWM PST A-RGB 0dB is even better. Because apart from the RGB, the [...]
