igor’sLAB investigates heatspreaders of CPUs and radiator floors with real high-tech – new insights guaranteed! | Reader action

I had already mentioned in the article "Intel Core i9 vs. AMD Ryzen 9: How convex or concave are the current heatspreaders really and what are the consequences?" roughly torn, where I see the problem of the so-called IHS. The feedback from the readers was very positive, with voices also being heard calling for a more accurate [...]


Fear of corona virus: Nvidia blows off the GTC in-house trade fair in March and makes an online event out of it

The coronavirus is not only beginning to take an impact on the technical world slowly, but is becoming more and more rapid, as shown by the fact that several important events have either been cancelled or postponed at least to later dates due to health concerns. NVIDIA, which now plans to host the largest annual graphics event, the GTC 2020, has [...]


New, significantly faster Geforce graphics cards on the horizon?

Two new nvidia graphics cards have appeared in the Geekbench. The still unnamed cards reach a significantly higher score than the currently fastest Turing cards.   The larger of the two GPUs obviously houses 7552 CUDA cores, 118 SMs and 24GB VRAM. It remains unclear whether this is a full expansion – the speculatius probably assumes a full [...]


We build an AMD gaming PC

Today I just grab my Fractal shelf and build with Dirty an AMD gaming PC with the ryzen 7 3700X and a Sapphire Notro RX 5700XT Nitro+ on an MSI MEG X570 ACE. All this is cooled and supplied with components from Fractal – if so, then we do it as always also varietal. In addition, there are benchmarks, temperatures and the assessment of the [...]

Why the increase in performance of Nvidia’s Ampere could be quite enormous – the board partners already has to enter the practice phase | igor’sLAB investigative

Of course, it would be pointless to take out the usual large speculum and nibble at it with relish, but in contrast to pure speculation and rumours, there are also unmistakable and tangible signs that indicate a significant increase in performance (and thus also a higher data rate and density). I’ve been asking around a bit with the board [...]


Incorrect news circulating about AFOX's EEC database entries for the alleged Radeon RX 5800 (XT), 5900 (XT) and 5950 (XT) | Demand at AFOX

One of today's reports, which are catapulted through the media and which can actually leave one's hair to rest, is freely quoted as saying that "AFOX, amD and Nvidia's on-board partners, would have reported a whole series of new models of Geforces and Radeons to the EEC," detailing entries for a speculative "Radeon RX [...]

EIA vs. Pharmacy price: AMD launches the Radeon RX 5600XT in two waves on January 21. and 22.01.2020? | With survey

We had already reported on the supposed specifications of the new Radeon RX 5600 XT, also about the launch period at the end of January, more precisely in calendar week three. Meanwhile, more information about the date leaked through, so that our own sources can be considered pretty safe after the 21.01.2020 launch date. However, this time AMD [...]


NVIDIA's PhysX 5.0 supports FEM for material physics on the GPU and counters AMD's FEMFX program library for physics via CPU multithreading

Nvidia has announced PhysX 5.0 and will be available "pretty soon in 2020." According to the GeForce makers, this new version of the physics middleware SDK (which became available as open source about a year ago) introduces support for a 'Unified particle simulation framework'. Among the new features NVIDIA lists for PhysX 5.0 is [...]

Gaming rig with the Cooler Master SL600M Black, an i9-9900K, as well as the Z390 Master and rtX 2080 Ti Extreme by Aorus | The Community Testers

Now you could post another 20 pages of photo of the successful assembly, but I think that the video format with the (sometimes time-lapsed) view of the construction realization gives more. The SL600M Black by Cooler Master is a thankful midi tower that offers some small innovation that goes beyond the mainstream. RGB can, but does not have to, and [...]

Havit Bilateral True Wireless Headset under review

As mentioned in my review of the 1More Bluetooth speaker, I'm quite an audio snob. For me, the sound really has to be right, which is why I met this very cheap Bluetooth headset with skepticism at first. Skeptical, but without prejudice. The Havit True Wireless Headset is a Bluetooth InEar headphones with built-in and is available on the [...]
