Actually, a more detailed game review was supposed to be published here today, but I decided against it in the end. Because even though I had already invested several hours, I cannot justify pretending that everything runs so smoothly that it can be objectively benchmarked and evaluated. As this once again confirms the trend of knowingly offering [...]
RDNA3 has been on the market for quite some time and besides AMD’s reference cards, you usually only see reviews of the RX 7900XTX and usually only of the more expensive custom models. The RX 7900 XT currently plays a kind of shadowy existence, especially the somewhat cheaper models of the respective board partners. That was reason enough [...]
As a passionate gamer and fan of post-apocalyptic scenarios, I was initially excited by the idea behind Naughty Dog’s “The Last of Us Part 1” and also bought the game myself, as I usually do by the way. This creates a little distance and you may judge a little differently, because it was your own money (and not too scarce). And [...]
Developed by Naughty Dog and originally released by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2013 exclusively for the PlayStation 3, the action-adventure game, The Last of Us, has finally made its way to the PC. Officially titled “The Last of Us Part 1: Remastered,” the PC version brings the award-winning masterpiece to a new platform, allowing [...]
The CMA is a regulatory authority in the United Kingdom responsible for overseeing competition and antitrust matters. It has given its preliminary approval to Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of the Activision Blizzard Group. This means that has no objections to the proposed merger for the time being, but will conduct further investigations [...]
Today we are testing the KFA2 GeForce RTX 4080 SG 16GB (1-Click-OC)and there is a certain reason for that. A GeForce RTX 4090 is already very expensive as such, but there is also the GeForce RTX 4080. Well, it also feels like it is in a different financial galaxy, but if you do need the performance, you can look for one of the cheaper models. [...]
The Game Developers Conference (GDC) kicks off next week and NVIDIA is announcing an expanded game list and new developer plug-ins for NVIDIA-DLSS-3, the latest version of its AI-powered Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology. NVIDIA is also announcing a new RTX bundle that includes Redfall from Bethesda. NVIDIA DLSS 3 Accelerates [...]
The GeForce RTX 4090 is already very expensive as such, but there are also considerable price differences between the respective models and manufacturers, so it is definitely worth looking twice financially. The KFA2 GeForce RTX 4090 SG 24GB (1-Click-OC) is one such candidate, whose clever positioning might only be recognized at second glance. At [...]
NVIDIA DLAA (Deep Learning Antialiasing) is basically DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) without the upscaling part. This algorithm enhances the details in each image in the same way as traditional antialiasing techniques, only with the power of AI. DLAA technology improves the picture quality of games that already run excellently on the existing [...]
Thanks EA for bringing up, dusting off and polishing up a classic that was once THE game par excellence for me, because Dead Space already captivated me almost 15 years ago! In the truest sense of the word, because I sunk a lot of wonderful hours into it and was virtually mentally tied to the chair. And this enormous time span is of course also [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Youtubers Iskandar Souza and Paulo Gomes recently unveiled an investigation into third-party GPU vendors and resellers painting over certain areas of graphics cards to make them appear newer. The two accuse crypto miners of finding increasingly inventive ways to resell overused graphics cards for profit. Paint was discovered on GPUs sold by crypto [...]
AMD releases the new Zen 4 CPUs without X in the name today. Of course, I was able to test the CPUs in the form of the Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 5 7600 in advance and also added the respective X models freshly. Even though these new CPUs might look rather unspectacular at first glance, the slightly lower price and higher efficiency could definitely [...]
How a jack-of-all-trades cherishes retro culture: visiting igor’sLAB in the Nerd Niche (with raffle)
There are certainly many stories that life writes. One of them: My wife approached me a few days ago with the wish that she would like to have a Gameboy Advance again. Of course, I am immediately on fire with such projects, because I myself love the past gaming culture. Initially, the original case was supposed to become Frankenstein’s [...]
Today I finally reveal the secret of the GeForce RTX 4080 12GB GeForce RTX 4070 Ti in the form of the board partner card MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPRIM X 12GB, which is the smallest Ada card so far. The near-full AD104 is used, while the larger RTX 4080 is based on the much more trimmed AD103 and the RTX 4090 on the somewhat reduced AD102. New [...]
I deliberately waited until I could get congruent and plausible information through various information channels, which can now also shed some light after two to three weeks. While AMD’s support initially resisted even acknowledging the hotspot problem as such and described the 110 °C hotspot temperature as completely normal, the situation [...]
The time has finally come and after a lot of theory and unboxing in the run-up, we can finally test what the new Radeon RX 7900XTX and RX 7900XT can really do and where there might even be further potential. I assume that AMD was also somewhat surprised by the good performance of the GeForce RTX 4090 and later also the RTX 4080. Just like many of [...]
I was skeptical as always, but this time I was proven wrong. If you leave aside the artificial, gaudy comic art, Criterion has finally managed not to create what feels like the tenth rehash of a Forza Burnout Need for Speed Paradise Horizon. Well, a few obligatory destruction orgies are on board again and you have a déjà vu every now and then, but [...]
