MSI announces the launch of its own Solid State Drive (SSD) product line, SPATIUM. The initial product offering will include the M480, M470 and M370. Supporting PCIe Gen4 and Gen3, depending on the model, all NVMe SSDs feature the compact M.2 2280 form factor to fit desktop motherboards and laptops. On these SSDs, MSI says it’s putting high [...]
First of all, I can actually reassure everyone with some newer hardware, because the discussions about the compatibility with TPM 2.0 and especially the exploding prices for external TPM modules have virtually expoded in the last few days since Microsoft’s announcements about Windows 11 and the availability of such modules is now close to [...]
Things are starting to get interesting, as AMD’s portfolio of real-world graphics chips is also expected to grow again soon. During the digital Computex 2021 AMD already presented its new lineup of mobile graphics cards based on the current Navi GPUs. The three graphics cards announced there were the Radeon RX 6800M as the top dog, the RX [...]
Since today again a so-called NDA test is pending, which may be published, however, only at 10 o’clock, there are until then 15 colorful consolation patches free on the house.

Already at the launch of NVIDIA’s Ampere graphics cards, this feature was the talk of the town and subsequently on the wish list of those who want to move large amounts of data directly and without the tedious detour via the CPU. The DirectStorage function was promised for Windows 10, but is now only available from version 11. In the [...]
Well, on the one hand it is really funny and on the other hand it takes some getting used to in the beginning. But once you get the hang of it, you quickly become a Rembrandt with just a few, even clumsy, brushstrokes. The final step to perfection is taken by the AI, which turns rather meaningless line drawings into quite naturalistic images in [...]
Meanwhile, the partial ban on crypto mining in China has led to a massive drop in the price of graphics cards, and not just in Asia. While the RTX 3060 still cost well over 1000 US dollars in the end customer market in China in May, the AIC are now already supplying this card to the larger buyers again in part for well under 500 US dollars, which [...]
Ah, so that’s it! AMD has finally dropped support for its GCN GPU architecture, which includes the Radeon HD 7000, RX 200, RX 300 and Fury series graphics cards. This is a bit of a surprise, but not entirely unexpected. The mentioned graphics card families are thus put into the so-called legacy status and no further driver versions are [...]
Today, finally, the showdown over the best AI-based upscaling begins and AMD’s official FSR driver, Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 21.6.1, is now available for download. The driver enables support for the highly anticipated feature in select titles, as reported in the relevant media last week. The driver has been highly anticipated as it now [...]
Just in time for the start of AMD’s – long planned – counter-attack to DLSS, Nvidia is already countering preemptively. Expanding the usability of DLSS is likely to excite RTX graphics card owners. And for those who haven’t read it yet, here’s the link again to DLSS 2.0 and the appropriate explanation of Basic. Since [...]
The fact that China’s most important container ports are only operating at half power and that we are probably heading for the next global supply disaster is extremely worrying, but it is not even the reason for the component problem discussed here in the second part. But first let us come to the general situation. Due to a recent outbreak [...]
I recently introduced you to the hardware brokers and published some internal prices of the “grey” market. Because we now also know where the stocks come from, when for example even the official distributors of the graphics card manufacturers wave off and lie dry. Because, as we now know, there is a kind of parallel universe of the [...]
After I have now already received the second tip about fake webseites with our content, which also led to the loss of various wallets and thus also the cryptocurrencies contained therein, I have not been idle in the meantime. Unfortunately, this time any cooperation ended at the Russian border and so I finally have to go the way of the public to [...]
Intel had unveiled one of the world’s biggest chips not too long ago and the picture that emerges after all the releases so far is quite overwhelming. Intel’s Xe HPC 2-Tile (PVC) GPU uses a mix of Intel’s 7nm, Intel’s 10nm ESF and TSMC’s 7nm (or 5nm) process technology for this, which is brought together in Foveros 3D [...]
Not only Asian media like ITHome speculate that NVIDIA will discontinue the Turing graphics cards in the form of the GeForce RTX 2060 or GTX 16xx series, which were relaunched earlier this year as a gap filler, in the foreseeable future. If you ask various board partners about their forecasts and the current delivery situation, it becomes clear [...]
Today’s article comes a little later, at exactly 3:00 pm. Well, I’m sure you know what and why so late. There will also be 12 pages again with over 500 graphics, so the usual. Then, of course, they get naked, measure everything exactly and philosophize about sense or nonsense. I don’t want to and I’m not allowed to spoil [...]
Sometimes it’s the really small things that fail and even such a small, quite unknown cog in the gearbox can stop a whole machine in its tracks. The chip shortage is not a new topic, but now the whole notebook manufacturers are threatened by new trouble from a quite unexpected corner. Intel had not only launched a new notebook CPU with Tiger [...]
Empty shelves, horrendous prices, long waiting lists and even longer faces of the annoyed end customer. And yet, every now and then a few pieces turn up on various trading platforms or there are also some ready-made PCs with already installed graphics cards for sale. But where do these stocks come from when even the official distributors of the [...]
Before the test, there is now an appetizer in the form of a longer teaser, so that the most important data can already be published. The rest, unfortunately, is simply a matter of resources, as it was too much data at once and I also only have one head and two hands. Nevertheless, it is already quite interesting, because with the SUPRIM MSI sends [...]
