With the GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio, MSI introduces its own new graphics card design. From the very beginning, MSI relies on a true custom design and its own cooler with three fans and the obligatory RGB effects. It is equipped with the TU104, has 8 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory and offers everything else we already know from the reference [...]
Nvidia Turing Deep-Dive: Welcome to the Ray Tracing Revolution Let's take a positive view of it, it will work later (for the most part) as it was proudly presented to the astonished attendees at Siggraph and Gamescom 2018. Then Turing can be seen as Nvidia's biggest architectural leap in more than 10 years. To achieve all of this, the [...]
The Graphite Thermal Pad from Innovation Cooling (IC) is not a real reinvention, because heat-conducting graphite pads and graphene films have been around in the industry for several years. Nevertheless, at least for the end user, there was not yet something useful that could have been obtained in a single packaging. But that's exactly where [...]
5 Keys draw – The raffle is complete and the 10 winners have been drawn! First of all: the legal process was and is of course excluded as always! The closing date for participation was 06.09.2018 at 23:59. Duplicate entries were considered a violation and, to be fair, could not be taken into account. The received mails were routed to a [...]
AMD today announced a redesigned Athlon 200GE with a Radeon Vega 3 graphics card. It is certainly intended for everyday PC applications and is very obviously aimed at the office-only area. In addition, AMD now also offers the second-generation Ryzen PRO and Athlon PRO desktop processors for the commercial market. Combining the x86 "Zen+" [...]
You've reinstalled your Windows, given an extra hard password so Cheyenne-Chantal can't snoop on your system when you're not at home. And then this: the good one has been annoying you for minutes with a Netflix movie that she absolutely has to watch now, here and right and you have a sudden blackout. Because, stupidly, this password [...]
Well! For all ambitious hobby DJs and distressed users of the German snail internet, Capcom finally released the box of "Monster Hunter World" yesterday. That was reason enough for me to look again at current drivers and this scheiblet. But if someone had told me five years ago that you could have installed such a fat game online in 12 [...]
Every seat suffers when Chantal-Cheyenne plays so extremely one-sidedly.
Everyone is talking about far too high storage prices at the moment, but hardly any outsider knows the real enemies of balance and quality. Firstly, the industry does not like to talk about it and secondly, this component is too small, too inconspicuous and not spectacular enough to make the headlines. Yet what is being done from OEM and ODM [...]
The Price of the Arctic AM4 Passive is priced as a blackened piece of stranded aluminium with its approx. 12 Euro street price a very tempting option to be able to cool smaller PCs pretty much silently. But until now, evil physics has always been the spoiler of larger projects, because it is not so easy to get out of the way. Arctic wants to be [...]
For those who don't know yet: AMD's Radeon ProRender is AMD's physical-based rendering engine with free plug-ins for popular digital content creation applications such as Autodesk 3ds Max and Maya, Blender and Dassault Syst'me solidWORKS, and Creo. Radeon ProRender has been given some important new features ahead of Siggraph 2018 [...]
After the performance, of course, I also had time to visit the famous Q&A rounds, in which you sometimes also learn details that are missing in the actual events, for whatever reason. From left to right, Bob Pette (Vice President Professional Vizualisation), Tony Tamasi (Senior Vice President of Content and Technology), and Bob Sherbin (Vice [...]
So far, there is no trace of messegewusel. With the exception of a few floor cleaning and door-knocking agents, so far only monitors with announcements, locked corridors and security guards are a sign of a little launch feeling. The whole thing is hard to beat in secrecy and I can't remember ever making such a show around a Quadro graphics [...]
You will have seen for yourself by now that we can offer more than just a time-limited emergency migration of the old content. No, of course not everything is really where we want it to be, but the most important thing has now been done! And before I go back to what we were able to do, I would like to express my thanks to all those involved who [...]
Nvidia's CEO Jen-Hsun "Jensen" Huang is not an official speaker at Siggraph 2018 in Vancouver (12.08. 16.08.2018), but obviously always good for a surprise. For example, an event is scheduled for 13.08.2018 at 4 p.m. local time, which he himself will moderate. The live stream is already registered on Youtube and anyone who has some [...]
Just in the season, the climate box breaks again, when else? Only: there are currently no spare parts, which the manufacturer would prefer to install in new equipment at the moment, says the technician. But there are no new air conditioners either, says the seller. Both of them then orient me to October at the earliest. But do I still need such a [...]
Apple was the first private company to exceed its market value of usd 1 trillion yesterday. The share value was USD 207.05 per share. This is due to the quarterly figures presented for this purpose. These have exceeded analysts' forecasts and investor expectations. Although critics were heard at the last launch of the iPhone when the price of [...]
Cheap or just cheap? Today I try my hand at a 75-euro soundbar from TaoTronics, where every inch in length costs an almost unbelievably cheap 75 cents. Analog and optical inputs, Bluetooth and a display – everything should be included in the TaoTronics TT-SK019. But is that even possible? I mean, what compromises on technology, sound and [...]
So gaming gets a whole new boost!
Since the 25th. The new General Data Protection Regulation will be implemented in Europe in May 2018 – with fewer warnings than previously feared. Nevertheless, German companies in particular are not yet able to breathe. Temporarily shut down websites, blocked media offers and thousands of consultations with lawyers and data protection authorities [...]
