The demand for the Founders Edition of the GeForce RTX 3080 should be immense, because with a circulated performance above an old “T-Rex”, thus the Titan RTX, for 699 Euro, greed should quickly eat up the brain. A spending spree in a green bloodlust? That’s not so unlikely. In any case, the bags with the advance orders were [...]
AMD Strix Halo: Powerhouse with 16 Zen 5 cores and 40 RDNA 3 GPU cores
Now it’s getting frosty! Sapphire unveils its new Sapphire Radeon RX 7700 XT Frostpunk 2 graphics card
Intel Falcon Shores: Powerhouse with 1500W – mandatory water cooling!
New design, new series, but almost everything the same: MSI presents its new GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Shadow 3X

Since the new 12-pin sockets are so well known and one of the NDAs has fallen in the meantime, one should also clean up some of the rumours, mistakes and confusion. In the end, only a small communication lapse led to half of the power supply industry suddenly gasping for breath in panic and hyperventilating within a few days. But I want to unravel [...]
For those who were not able to watch the livestream or simply want to get more information afterwards – I have put together the most important PR slides again chronologically for presentation and sorted out some of them.
So now it has only just begun, the complete RTX’ing of the whole universe. Because if up to now either the prices for the powerhouses or the missing muscle weakness in the lower shelf area were gallantly in the way of a traced mass infection, now finally also for the small price people we will se nice amping and shading! I admit, the price [...]
Besides a lot of new software features and technological changes, today’s live stream of course also offered the long awaited information about the new Ampere generation graphics cards, whose most important key data I have summarized in this news. Of course, there will be more in-depth reports here, but there will be follow-ups. And of [...]
Today’s article is actually more of a random product, because during the preparations for the Ampere launch I not only renewed and significantly expanded the test system, but also all the metrics and graphics for the evaluation. this is exactly where the whole test starts, because the depth of the evaluation was not possible in this form [...]
I had already written extensively in February about the new board requirements and the more complex manufacturing process. And that’s exactly how it happens now, so I’ll go into it in more detail in a moment. But for many people, the actual state of production is certainly much more interesting. I also have exclusive information for [...]
From NVIDIA’s (and our) point of view, computer graphics has made tremendous strides in performance over the last 20 years. To realize this, of course, a combination of expertise in architectural development, thermal, mechanical, electrical and of course product design is required, especially since the eye is known to be involved. In this [...]
We already know that cheaper products have to be produced more simply in order to be able to hit the targeted price point at all. If you take a graphics card from the lower middle class as an example, then it is definitely worthwhile to examine the consequences. Exemplary because it affects all manufacturers and products to the same extent [...]
Rumors or no rumors, NVIDIA really pushed the lid on this time. Much of what is currently being repeatedly leaked is not so new and sometimes it is just a repetition of what went through the media months ago. Click-bait stop. Does anyone remember the number 20 that was just rewound? I had already speculated (and calculated) in June in the article [...]
Intel will probably launch its first discrete gaming graphics cards based on next-generation Xe HPG GPUs as early as next year. Unlike the Xe-LP and Xe-HP GPUs, which are manufactured in the company’s own 10nm SuperFin process, the Xe-HPG GPUs are to be produced in an external foundry, with TSMC being the most likely and promising candidate [...]
NVIDIA plans to launch the next generation of its GPUs in September, so far this is nothing new. My colleague Usman from WCCFTECH tapped his sources and got an interesting overview of the upcoming amp portfolio. Interestingly, it was again mentioned that NVIDIA has *not* confirmed the naming scheme of the final cards, but has begun to announce [...]
It’s done, even if it took a long time: the RBE now also supports older AMD graphics cards with Polaris chip. My personal thanks go to the community in general and to mynm in particular, because this time he did all the work and built everything into the RBE, while hellm did the background work this time. The result is very impressive and is [...]
There have been (once again) new rumors about AMD’s RDNA 2 “Navi 2X” GPUs that will be found in the next generation graphics cards of the Radeon RX series. The rumor again points to a late start in the 4th quarter. It will be available in the second quarter of 2020 and will also cover RDNA 3, which could be a major revolution for [...]
Basically, if all the information is correct, Nvidia hasn’t chosen a bad approach with the solution of a reference board that is as short as possible, which elegantly allows an air cooler to allow the fans to blow freely over a larger area without the air just landing on the board and then being pushed down towards the motherboard or up [...]
The market for all-in-one water cooling solutions for graphics cards is still abundantly manageable compared to CPU coolers, although the potential gain over air cooling is significantly higher. Higher boost steps and lower operating noise are only part of the reward, because all other components of the graphics card board also benefit from such [...]
For some time now, a separate encoding chip, which Nvidia NvEnc has christened Nvidia NvEnc, has been used in many NVIDIA graphics cards. This is a real hardware solution that can convert videos quite efficiently. Currently the common codecs H.264 and H.265 as well as resolutions up to 8K are supported. The Turing generation now promises video [...]
The latest rumor comes from the Chinese technology company FCPOWERUP, known for its reports on power supplies, which has stated in an article that NVIDIA will use a new power supply interface for its next-generation gaming product line. I will comment on this in a moment, but first of all I want to reflect what has been published so far. The page [...]
What does NVIDIA have to do with the new consoles from Sony and Microsoft? physically nothing at first, because this playground belongs to AMD at the moment. But what is driving NVIDIA’s current and expected stock prices? many analysts now expect this development to trigger a GPU upgrade super-cycle in the console market. Bank of America [...]
Before I act as a (future) painter and create a possible package including the dimensions known so far, we should review the rumors and leaks of the last days. Let’s take the usually well-informed Kopite7kimi at the word leak, who mentioned a tape-out of the GA102 chip on Samsung and not TSMC on Twitter. This means that a launch as early as [...]
