Today I will introduce you to the new SDR measurement standard for our monitor tests regarding color performance. Regarding HDR, there will be a separate article. Nevertheless, from now on it’s “We used the Calman color calibration software from Portrait Displays.” All previous monitor tests are still valid. The results were/are [...]
I admit it, in a time where everyone is screaming for more and more dedicated memory on the graphics card, the concern of this tutorial today is rather incomprehensible for many. However, certainly only at first glance. Because all of this solves a problem very elegantly, which one might face (admittedly) very rarely, but nevertheless sometimes [...]
If you were lucky and had enough money to play with (5 Euros for the pun fund), you could still get hold of one of the few GeForce RTX 4090s in the wild, just in time for the launch. And the rest? If the 2000 Euros were and are too much for you (after all, the Founders Edition costs almost one Euro per gram) and you need something new right now [...]
I have been asked by some readers why our test results from the launch review were better for the GeForce 3000 series cards, especially in WQHD, than on quite a few other sites. Others, on the other hand, said that everything would have to be re-benchmarked now because the new drivers, which were released at the same time as the GeForce RTX 4090 [...]
Converting a GeForce RTX 4090 is easier than you think, but it is not free of small hurdles either. Especially if you want or need to convert the card back to air cooling later (e.g. sale or RMA). So today I’ll show you step by step how I disassembled the card and also cleaned it. And do yourself a favor (because I get mails almost every [...]
Who doesn’t know it, the funny adapter from NVIDIA, with which you can merge four PCIe 6+2 pin cables to be able to run graphics cards with up to 600 watts? If you only connect three plugs, you’ll only get 450 watts and with two plugs, the PC won’t start at all with a bit of bad luck. It also doesn’t matter which of the [...]
Today is finally the day, the RTX 4090 celebrates its sales launch. I don’t even want to talk about the prices now, maybe I’ll say something about that at the very end. Igor had already presented the general performance, power consumption, temperatures, etc. yesterday – as usual. I myself have been testing with the RTX 4090 for a [...]
The time has come and after an almost unbearable period of waiting and speculation, I can finally present the GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition (FE) today including all technical details and the long-awaited benchmarks. I already wrote an article about the origin of the mega-sized coolers, but that will remain only a (albeit important) side note [...]
Yesterday we were allowed to publish the first own pictures of NVIDIA’s upcoming graphics card generation, but we still have to keep quiet about further details up to the performance until the set launch day. Some clarification (certainly also in the sense of NVIDIA) would be urgently necessary. Because the outcry about the huge, heavy [...]
The third card in the bunch is the new MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM X 24 GB and we also take a first look at the massive card in this short review. The look is exactly as dominant as feared, but the benchmarks will soon have to show the rest. Purely visually, the card is also a nice eye-catcher. Tensed? Sure you do! The data may also be revealed [...]
Finally, the time has come. At least almost. Today I can show you some new GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB and in this case we see the NVIDIA RTX 4090 Founders Edition, so to say NVIDIA’s own product. The appearance is martial and the benchmarks will have to show the rest soon. The FE is a real eye-catcher from a purely visual point of view. The data [...]
Finally, the time has come. At least almost. Today I can show you some new GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB and we take a first look at the black Gainward RTX 4090 Golden Sample 24 GB, so to say the counterpart to the Palit Game Rock, only without the bulky plastic mountains. The performance is not even as dominant as feared, but the benchmarks will soon [...]
Yes, it’s winter again and the next hot hardware is just around the corner. Admittedly, summer is still a long way off, but it’s still getting warmer every day because the wattage of the components is also increasing so immeasurably. For a PC owner or self-builder, the topics of waste heat, cooling and ambient temperature (also [...]
Today there is my second test monitor, which I use for my articles concerning DLSS/FSR etc.. UHD gaming is becoming more and more popular and thus you also need a monitor that can reproduce this resolution natively. Thankfully, LG supported me here and provided me with the LG UltraGear 27GN950. The LG 27GN950 dates back to 2020 and had an MSRP of [...]
Where is Ryzen? They won’t be here until this afternoon, at 3 p.m. sharp. And to make the wait not so hard, we have a little pearl for you, which is really worth to be presented as well. If you have gasoline in your blood and bullets in your tank, Omno is definitely not a suitable game for you. However, if you just want to switch off and are [...]
The following article is mostly machine translated from the original German, and the translation has not been edited or checked for errors in-depth. Thank you for your understanding!
Now the cat, or Ada Lovelace, is out of the bag. In yesterday’s live event (was linked on the home page), the long-awaited new generation was finally unveiled. Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang also mentioned quite impressive numbers in this context in the recorded keynote of the GTC. The large AD102 GPU, which now uses TSMC’s new N4 [...]
If you want to (or have to) separate, then there are two ways to announce this: one emotionless and one where you once again seek the big stage. EVGA chose, what a coincidence, the time shortly before NVIDIA’s in-house exhibition GTC (after that, the whole thing would have gone down a bit) to drop the bombshell that wasn’t really a [...]
While the protagonists of the sensational leaks are currently fighting among themselves and wrestling for the ultimate interpretative sovereignty of NVIDIA and AMD products, I grabbed a bag of virtual popcorn and first read along with amusement. The silly thing about the whole Twitter controversy is that many things may even be true at the time of [...]
Today we have something for the readers who don’t only gamble. The MSI Summit MS321UP is a monitor made for content creators. You notice this after unpacking at the latest, because you inevitably stumble across a measurement log. This monitor has a factory calibration for the DCI-P3 color space. But that is by far not all. The MSI MEG381CQR [...]
