Update from 26.03.2020 – 14:00 Did the hacker "palesa" possibly unmask himself? In a file, the name Manish Prashanth can be found in the code under the pseudonym "palesa". If you look curiously at LinkedIn, you will find a trained programmer of the same name: . Coincidence or stupidity? Thanks to Peter for pointing 🙂 [...]
Many colleagues, including my long-time friend Usman Pirzada of Wccftech, whose sources are usually quite valid, have long speculated (also together in chat) whether the next generation of consoles can now be taken as a real benchmark for the RDNA2 architecture that AMD will then launch as a Radeon graphics card, or not. And one of Usman's [...]
Nvidia today introduces DLSS 2.0, which will bring many interesting changes, significant quality and performance improvements. Even if we only had the verbal information and the corresponding slides available to us for today, the path that Nvidia has taken can be traced quite well. Tests must prove to what extent these very serious changes then [...]
Does anyone remember Palit's GTX 1550 Ti KalmX? I still had this card in the test for Tom's hardware at the time and the conclusion was rather mixed, because the card did not manage to survive even without any housing ventilation. The new GTX 1650 KalmX from Palit , I can spoil it before, manages this feat quite, albeit only in the second [...]
AMD has long seen itself as a strong proponent of next-generation graphics API technologies with low overhead such as Microsoft DirectX 12, which, for example, is take games to a whole new level. Now AMD is also saying that it will partner with Microsoft to offer full support for DirectX 12 Ultimate in the upcoming AMD RDNA 2 gaming architecture [...]
Actually, Nvidia has a good laugh, because what Microsoft releases today as DXR 1.1 (DirectX Ray Tracing) makes at least this part the quasi-standard for PCs and consoles to the same extent. None of this is surprisingly new now, given that at the end of October last year you had a post called "Dev Preview of New DirectX 12 Features" on [...]
There is work like a string and if there are no new graphics chips in sight, then you are all the more happy about exotic and unusual graphic solutions away from the usual bling bling mainstream! This is what happened with the KalmX from Palit, where the successor to the GTX 1050 Ti KalmX is hardly more expensive, but much faster. Whether this [...]
The Folding@home project has been using the computing power voluntarily provided by users for years for simulations that help to develop drugs. For current reasons, it has been decided to use computing power for research into the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus in order to search for a cure or a vaccine for the COVID19 disease caused by the virus. If you [...]
After 10 workstation graphics cards tested, I prepared a whopping 64 different chart graphics and invested almost 200 hours of pure benchmark time without assemling and software configuration. Of course, various cards are still missing, especially since AMD unfortunately does not show too much zeal in the sampling. I also have models in the test [...]
According to wccftech.com, the first AMD Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' desktop CPUs are obviously already in circulation and one of these copies has now been discovered by the hardware supplier _Rogame. The Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' CPUs (essentially an APU) are based on the 7 nm architecture and are equipped with the new Zen 2 CPU and improved [...]
Who measures a lot measures crap. This rule applies as long as one does not actively deal with the circumstances and requirements and is not prepared to invest a lot – mostly private – time in its exploration. I started working more intensively on the power consumption of graphics cards in 2014 and to find a really good solution. In [...]
There are now GPU water blocks like sand by the sea. To then fish out exactly that one grain, which still offers an informative added value, because it e.g. is also completely different in design, naturally becomes heavier with time (and the increasing amount of products). You're looking forward to it like a little snow king, when you happen [...]
Everybody can cool with air and honestly: the adrenaline rush when you take apart and rebuild a card that costs several thousand euros is not to be despised. But the basic idea behind the whole water action is actually quite simple. How much more clocks and thus also performance can be squeezed out of a Quadro RTX 6000 by the better cooling alone [...]
Sometimes the number of reviews varies noticeably, but this is not because I might want to write something or have my face tanned by the video lamps. No, it is the work "besides" that nobody sees, but which is necessary for the creation of many articles and if it is basic study on the subject. Because you should only write about things [...]
NVIDIA is on the verge of launching its new GeForce RTX SUPER mobile GPUs, which improve specifications and improve performance compared to existing GeForce RTX mobile GPUs. It looks like PCGamesN has got an internal slide in hand that shows up to 50% better performance of each SUPER variant compared to the older non-SUPER siblings. The Turing [...]
Until now, the popular GPU cooler could only be mounted obliquely or not at all on a GeForce RTX 2080 (Ti), RTX 2080 Super or RTX 2070 Super, as the two Bracktes did not contain any really suitable threaded holes. However, as demand piled up and there are enough cards with less powerful coolers on the market, the question of a conversion was [...]
The coronavirus is not only beginning to take an impact on the technical world slowly, but is becoming more and more rapid, as shown by the fact that several important events have either been cancelled or postponed at least to later dates due to health concerns. NVIDIA, which now plans to host the largest annual graphics event, the GTC 2020, has [...]
Two new nvidia graphics cards have appeared in the Geekbench. The still unnamed cards reach a significantly higher score than the currently fastest Turing cards. The larger of the two GPUs obviously houses 7552 CUDA cores, 118 SMs and 24GB VRAM. It remains unclear whether this is a full expansion – the speculatius probably assumes a full [...]
The speculations about Nvidia's next generation of graphics cards do not abate and some people like to put their very own speculative on the frog-green biscuit stack every day. For once, I want to take part in this today and gather a little bit of what I have noticed in the last few days. And it's more and more like the whole Turing story [...]
