One knows and hates it, the beloved moment when a power supply suddenly switches off in the middle of a game, even though it is new and shows no other conspicuous features. The user’s annoyance becomes even greater when you think you have calculated the power supply size correctly. But is what the manufacturers of graphics cards or power [...]
You know and hate it, the beloved moment when a power supply suddenly switches off in the middle of the game, even though it is new and shows no other abnormalities. The annoyance of the users becomes even greater if one believes that the power supply size has also been calculated correctly. But is that enough for the manufacturers of graphics [...]
Not only are we asked again and again in the forum how we finance ourselves, where the development is going and how or how. where we will continue to see our publication in the future. Of course, these are many questions worth asking...
First of all, I would like to put two important things before this test report. First, such things that we will do below are certainly not prohibited on the finished product, but anything that goes beyond simply reading and writing the BIOS data is already in the grey area between healthy play instinct and reverse engineering. And it is also quite [...]
After initially focusing on the memory modules (also in mine) to explain the mysterious failures, especially the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition, information is now condensed to indicate the more likely cause of the problems. For example, we have already discussed at great length in the forum, which also dealt with possible soldering [...]
Two very unequal sisters The fact that the Founders Edition of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2080 Ti would have particularly good chips is not only an urban legend, but complete nonsense. Clock-adjusted and provided with the same BIOS, e.g. the board of my press sample from Nvidia water-cooled also no better than e.g. the KFA2/Galax RTX 2080 Ti OC [...]
Our daily Turing give us today? I can't really hear it anymore, but I have to live with it every day, because it touches the sensitivities of all readers. You can't and must't close yourself to it and hide everything gallantly. I recently had a conversation with a distrubutor and in the end everyone involved thought that the world is [...]
Those who buy a graphics card nowadays probably rarely think about which software is included in addition to the essential drivers. In this case, especially at AMD, the range of functions is extraordinarily lavish. In addition to a variety of configuration options, which include: Influencing the performance of the AMD graphics card, Streamer and [...]
If you are not yet so familiar with the subject matter, I strongly recommend to you to get started and better understand my basic article "Basics GPUs: Power Consumption, Power Supply Conflicts & Other Myths" (opens in a new tab/window), which provides the most important information for the following. In the entry article for Turing [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Just in time for the start of the hot days, I had also considered how we could expand our test methods or how to expand our test methods. further expand and refine. This now also includes our new, modular water cooling measuring station, which is often called "Igor's paddling pool" in the laboratory, because in the end you never know [...]
If you write rather flapsily, with the RX Vega everything would be a little different, then you are not even so wrong. In addition to the interesting technology around the interposer and the HBM2 memory used, there are of course also new technological challenges in the way, which I already mentioned last year in my article "Confusion around [...]
We took the conversion of the side and parts of the laboratory as an opportunity to improve the measurements of the power consumption of graphics cards once again. We also show screenshots of our interpreter software for the first time and explain them to our readers today.
In this article, we don't just want to limit ourselves to a thermal paste comparison with (de-)assembly instructions, but also to show why some cards simply can't cool better and why you can't cool the entire cooling system, including the fans... Dismantling without depression Before screwing, for example, with GPU-Z you should log the [...]
