Already at the launch of NVIDIA’s Ampere graphics cards, this feature was the talk of the town and subsequently on the wish list of those who want to move large amounts of data directly and without the tedious detour via the CPU. The DirectStorage function was promised for Windows 10, but is now only available from version 11. In the [...]
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070: Better price/performance ratio in sight with the AD103 downgrade?
Fallout 4 Next Gen Update – Fatal error, technical pile-up and proof of how not to do it
Sort it out! MSI focuses more on RTX cards than AMD cards
Blown dream: AMD’s Navi 41 RDNA 4 with 50% more shader performance thanks to 9 shader engines

Meanwhile, the partial ban on crypto mining in China has led to a massive drop in the price of graphics cards, and not just in Asia. While the RTX 3060 still cost well over 1000 US dollars in the end customer market in China in May, the AIC are now already supplying this card to the larger buyers again in part for well under 500 US dollars, which [...]
Ah, so that’s it! AMD has finally dropped support for its GCN GPU architecture, which includes the Radeon HD 7000, RX 200, RX 300 and Fury series graphics cards. This is a bit of a surprise, but not entirely unexpected. The mentioned graphics card families are thus put into the so-called legacy status and no further driver versions are [...]
Today, finally, the showdown over the best AI-based upscaling begins and AMD’s official FSR driver, Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 21.6.1, is now available for download. The driver enables support for the highly anticipated feature in select titles, as reported in the relevant media last week. The driver has been highly anticipated as it now [...]
Just in time for the start of AMD’s – long planned – counter-attack to DLSS, Nvidia is already countering preemptively. Expanding the usability of DLSS is likely to excite RTX graphics card owners. And for those who haven’t read it yet, here’s the link again to DLSS 2.0 and the appropriate explanation of Basic. Since [...]
The fact that China’s most important container ports are only operating at half power and that we are probably heading for the next global supply disaster is extremely worrying, but it is not even the reason for the component problem discussed here in the second part. But first let us come to the general situation. Due to a recent outbreak [...]
I recently introduced you to the hardware brokers and published some internal prices of the “grey” market. Because we now also know where the stocks come from, when for example even the official distributors of the graphics card manufacturers wave off and lie dry. Because, as we now know, there is a kind of parallel universe of the [...]
Even if many people don’t want to read it, today I have a board partner card from AMD in the form of the Powercolor Radeon RX 6700XT for you in a single test. What makes the card so special is its white PCB and all-white cover including white LED lighting. Since the whole thing stands out a bit more from the crowd, I just got myself this [...]
What lasts long – usually becomes good. However, I took extra time for today’s test with the question “NVIDIA NULL and Reflex vs. AMD Anti-Lag and Radeon Boost, which works better?”. For some time now I have been writing about the topic of latencies and there have been a few articles from me on this topic. In particular, we [...]
After I have now already received the second tip about fake webseites with our content, which also led to the loss of various wallets and thus also the cryptocurrencies contained therein, I have not been idle in the meantime. Unfortunately, this time any cooperation ended at the Russian border and so I finally have to go the way of the public to [...]
Alphacool vs. aquacomputer? Once again, today we have a reader review by Elmo from our community that addresses this very issue of GPU water blocks. Since I find the test, the methodology and also the used technique extremely exciting, I have summarized the whole thing as a real article and with the author’s consent also slightly changed so [...]
Not only Asian media like ITHome speculate that NVIDIA will discontinue the Turing graphics cards in the form of the GeForce RTX 2060 or GTX 16xx series, which were relaunched earlier this year as a gap filler, in the foreseeable future. If you ask various board partners about their forecasts and the current delivery situation, it becomes clear [...]
For the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FE (Founders Edition) unveiled today, NVIDIA uses the full GA104.1 In contrast to the GA102, a smaller chip like the GA104 usually promises higher yield and thus better availability, improved efficiency and cheaper production. So much for the theory. Except that this often clashes with practice. Because the question [...]
Today’s article comes a little later, at exactly 3:00 pm. Well, I’m sure you know what and why so late. There will also be 12 pages again with over 500 graphics, so the usual. Then, of course, they get naked, measure everything exactly and philosophize about sense or nonsense. I don’t want to and I’m not allowed to spoil [...]
It was very quiet around AMD’s Radeon Pro portfolio of professional workstations for quite some time, which also rely on certified drivers and ECC-RAM, because especially in the professional environment such standards have to be met. While NVIDIA has been left almost without a fight for months, the three new graphics solutions presented [...]
Empty shelves, horrendous prices, long waiting lists and even longer faces of the annoyed end customer. And yet, every now and then a few pieces turn up on various trading platforms or there are also some ready-made PCs with already installed graphics cards for sale. But where do these stocks come from when even the official distributors of the [...]
Before the test, there is now an appetizer in the form of a longer teaser, so that the most important data can already be published. The rest, unfortunately, is simply a matter of resources, as it was too much data at once and I also only have one head and two hands. Nevertheless, it is already quite interesting, because with the SUPRIM MSI sends [...]
You know I’m not a fan of limitless energy waste that the mining boom keeps pushing to new heights. It’s no secret that a new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has its difficulties with Etherum and that it’s hardly worthwhile with this card here in Germany due to the lack of efficiency. That was to be expected. But what about all the other [...]
After the hot autumn of 2020 and the now almost seemingly eternal graphics card thirst, we have in the meantime also learned many new terms and various hardships. If you’re not into SM games, i.e. scalpers & mining, it’s really hard to realize your dream of a new, super-fast pixel slingshot in a reasonable frame at the moment. And [...]
"Hope you enjoyed all the new technologies we announced at #computex 2021. We are so proud of our @AMD Ryzen desktop APUs, @Radeon mobile GPUs, FidelityFX Super Resolution, and our brand new 3D chiplet technology – the best in high-performance computing!!!" (Dr. Lisa Su on Twitter)
