NVIDIA’s possible roadmap to the launch of the GeForce RTX 3090 and 3080 (working name) – New cooler in several variants under test!

Recently, we were able to admire several leaked pictures of a cooler for the new GeForce RTX 3080, which apparently showed us the use of a normal heatsink in combination with four thick copper composite heatpipes. So far, so delicious and also unfortunately incomplete. Because I also learned that NVIDIA is probably testing two competing solutions [...]


350 watts for NVIDIA’s new top-of-the-line GeForce RTX “3090” Ampere model explained, chip area calculated and boards compared

Well, meanwhile there are several leaks of “pre-release” models of the upcoming GeForce RTX 3080, but I don’t really trust the roast published here, because I just assume design validation samples. And before I think about how to explain the 350 watts to you, I have created a simple super projection (and cut it a bit on the right [...]


Challenge: Optimizing AMD Ryzen 7 3800X with Boxed Cooler and Radeon RX 5700 in reference design? That’s how it works! | Tutorial

Our forum user casi30 has created an optimization guide for us, which should make the impossible possible, especially since the combination as CPU and GPU is already quite sporty. He cools an AMD Ryzen R7 3800X with the included Wraith Prism, runs a reference model of the Radeon RX 5700 for this purpose and finally optimized the whole thing [...]


Exclusive info about NVIDIA’s Ampere: 3 models, memory size, PCBs, an extremely expensive cooler for the FE and the search for the leak

Recently I had already posted some information about the new graphics card generation from NVIDIA and also processed it in the video, but I was still a little bit reserved concerning the currently readable images of the RTX 3080 Founders Edition (FE). I first wanted to wait for confirmation if and to what extent these are really real pictures. As [...]


Overclocking or modifying AMD graphics cards under Linux?

Besides our MorePowerTool and the RBE (Red BIOS Editor), as well as the required third party files for flashing the supported BIOSes under Windows, there is now a very elegant method for Linux. Patrick Schur has published AMD's mysterious atitool on Github and recently updated it again, so I don't want to keep it from you, also to round [...]

Intel's 10 nm Tiger Lake-U CPU shows itself in the NUC 11 Extreme with up to 4.4 GHz boost and NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1660 Ti as 80W notebook graphics also

Intel's Phantom Canyon NUC 11 Extreme, which will use the next generation of next-generation 10nm Tiger Lake CPUs, has now been sighted in 3DMark for the first time and Rogame's result has been released on Hardware Leaks. This news not only reveals the specifications, but also the performance values that one could expect from this small [...]


Why always just play? RTX On also fits ever more frequently into the working life or the creative corner, if only one knows how and where | Workstation Special

After I could finally put the Workstation Graphics Card Charts 2020 online with far more than 200 hours of pure testing time, I now have to work on the rest, which, I honestly admit, I always put off a bit. Because the boundaries between what you can consider a classic workstation scenario and what is so beautifully called Creation are becoming [...]


RDNA2 “Navi 20” GPUs and RDNA “Navi 10 Refresh” GPUs will be together the new product portfolio for AMDs graphics cards

In an exclusive article on his new technology portal “Hardware Leaks” Rogame has presented several Navi-GPUs, ranging from Radeon RX to Radeon Pro graphics cards. As AMD has already indicated several [...]


New AMD Flash-Tool 3.04+ for the work with the Red BIOS Editor (RBE)

Until now it was not possible to flash a Radeon RX 5600 XT with the older tool amdvbflash.exe in version 2.93, but the new tool with version 3.04 (from the depths of the internet) now also fixes this disadvantage. The RBE is now fully usable again for the RX 5600 XT, but of course only within the scope of what we list in the terms of use [...]
