I had already reported recently that AMD, even without an official statement about the actual causes, has been offering both a return of the graphics card and an RMA with an exchange for a working card for a few days. We can also see the conditions again here in the (already published) first letter from AMD support. Thus, it should take a bit of [...]
Dr. Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, not only presented AMD’s visions in various fields such as AI, gaming, entertainment, healthcare, automotive and aerospace at CES, but there were also various product announcements and demos. All those who have been waiting for the new Ryzen X3D will also find what they are looking for here. Thus, AMD has introduced [...]
I deliberately waited until I could get congruent and plausible information through various information channels, which can now also shed some light after two to three weeks. While AMD’s support initially resisted even acknowledging the hotspot problem as such and described the 110 °C hotspot temperature as completely normal, the situation [...]
The so-called stock photos often show very highly talented people with hot pistons in their hands. However, the lady has unfortunately forgotten the work gloves, but the goggles are first class.
Today’s editorial could be published every year, because these thoughts are not new and especially the Christmas season should be reason enough to practice some inner reflection. And I would like to and must thank all our readers at this point, who have remained loyal to us even after the rededication of the site from Tom’s Hardware [...]
The Radeon RX 7900XTX and the Radeon RX 7900XT are supposed to fix it for AMD in December and leave the good “old” Ada standing in the corner in shame. At least one hopes so. If, how and why, you will of course find out soon and in due time, because today is first of all the big weighing of the fighters and the obligatory meat [...]
While AMD has already shown the reference cards of their Radeon RX 7900XT(X) several times and also confirmed the launch date for the 13th of December 2022, you might have to put a question mark behind the real models and quantities available on this day. While some sources speculate with only 10,000 reference cards each for EMEA and [...]
This is only the second time in almost 4 years that we have had to withdraw the award from an article. As much as we dislike doing such things, in the end it is always a matter of decency and respect for our readers to implement and explain such things. The item has an MSRP of 183 Euros, which is not justified by anything, and is also only sold [...]
Yesterday I had contact again with the PCI SIG regarding the deliberate plug, but in the end I only got a kind of text module as the only official statement, which is already known in parts. They did not want to (or could not) tell me more at the current time. The fact is, however, that the PCI SIG sees itself merely as a standardization body and [...]
First of all, we need to separate the terms and standards before we should even think about buying a new ATX 3.0 power supply. And to bring it right at the beginning times to the point: Panic buying is completely out of place and more or less intentional marketing! Or to put it more casually: in principle, no one needs the whole thing yet [...]
Text modules back and forth, you can already give yourself a little effort. Especially if the customer has purchased the premium product from the Nvidia store
In order to keep the speculation factor as low as possible on the one hand and not to violate one of the NDAs at the same time, I have to elaborate a bit more this time. The real problem, however, was the extremely different puzzle pieces from both manufacturers in various announcements, which doesn’t exactly simplify a preview of raster [...]
Long awaited and now finally here: AMD presented the third generation of the RDNA architecture yesterday evening. The company also unveiled the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics cards at the same event. The former has a full Navi 31 GPU with 12288 stream processors, while the latter is based on a reduced GPU with 10752 cores [...]
Sometimes you also have to listen to your children and do a blind test once. Apart from the fact that there are obviously three or four adapter types with different solder pads and cables, the problem of the hot contact surfaces of the outer connectors must have a simpler reason. I already wrote on the subject of bending that the rigid pins in the [...]
First there were bent cables, then annoyed buyers of the at least 2000 euro expensive NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, no matter which model or manufacturer. The manufacturer of the 4-pin adapter from 12VHPWR to 4x 8-pin for older power supplies was also careless. And, of course, we learned something once again in the course of our investigations. Since [...]
That this with the faulty 12VHPWR adapter (“must break”), whose investigation I had published this morning as an article and video, will not proceed without noises and a larger wave, was actually already clear before. But the fact that NVIDIA reacts so quickly and consistently to the pre-reporting did not only surprise me. You really [...]

Those who are now beating up on the new 12VHPWR (although I don’t really like the part either) may generate nice traffic with it, but they simply haven’t recognized the actual problem with the supposedly fire-hazardous and melting connections or cables. Even if certain YouTube celebrities are of a different opinion because they seem to [...]
After various render images of the new Morpheus 8069 GPU air cooler were leaked in the last few days due to rather unfortunate circumstances, which however do not officially come from Raijintek, but were picked up by a third party from an unprotected directory of the manufacturer’s server, I would like to turn the whole thing upside down a [...]
New curve options have been added. Of course we would be very happy about a feedback in the forum about the use of this new function! The More PowerTool (MPT) has been also revised once again for the detection of the installed graphics adapters (keyword Unicode) and also detects different variants of the driver entries. In case of doubt, the VGA [...]
