In my two articles "GeForce RTX 2080 Ti – Why water cooling is more important than manual overclocking and this brings very little" and especially "Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition water-cooled? Forget it, here's the much faster alternative!" I've already detailed the cooling problem and the advantages of a [...]
Unboxing and scope of delivery If the Wavemaster Pro series ("Wavemaster Two Pro: The Better Is the Good Enemy") was seen at the time as a larger and more powerful sequel to the very successful Wavemaster Two, the Wavemaster Fusion presented today adds one more. Relatedly below, because it is a real foundation list for the bass [...]
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 [...]
Gainward (i.e. The gaming brand of Palit) relies on a complete self-design for the board and a 2.5-slot radiator structure with three 8.5 cm fans (opening 9 cm, 15 rotor blades) in the Phantom GLH ("Goes Like Hell") that build up a correspondingly static pressure. The longitudinal, chrome-plated pipes are visually an eye-catcher, but do [...]
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 [...]
I have always wondered (and in the end also annoyed) why the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti behaves so divertily unwilling when manually overclocking and why ultimately the Founders edition, if you really cool it down, at the same time as your Power Target the limit of what makes sense. Squinting at the card with the highest Power Target ex works and the [...]
MSI has presented ti Gaming X Trio with the GeForce RTX 2080 and 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 (2x 9.5 cm and 1x 8.5 cm) as well as with the obligatory RGB effects. It is equipped with the TU102, has 11 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory and [...]
The down-time immediately after the launch of the GeForce RTX was really only the last impulse for us to move again. Since the number of readers is constantly increasing and, above all, access to the new and old content has grown enormously, a switch to a modern data center was actually only a matter of time. It is important to us to be able to [...]
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 [...]
The time has come, finally! After all the many (but very readable!) Theory presented in our basic article "Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 – what is really hidden behind Turing" from last week, it's almost finally getting to the bottom of today! Not only do we benchmark the two new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 (Ti) FE, but [...]
After some board partners told us that the TU102 was late or was delivered too late to launch a real hard-launch on 20.09.2018, meanwhile also some pre-orders report reported delays or delays. notifications received from dealers. This fits perfectly into the already known picture, according to which there was speculation in advance about BIOS bugs [...]
Many board partners do it, and hardly any of the end users know how it really works. But everyone is talking about it. We are talking about GPU binning, i.e. the pre-selection and categorisation of GPUs of a model series according to different criteria. In this way, different clusters are created, figuratively speaking. The very good, less good [...]
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 [...]
If you haven't lived at the foot of a cave for ten years, the "World of Warcraft" phenomenon has certainly not passed you by. Blizzard, the developer and publisher behind MMORPG, first released in 2004, has added new classes and story strands to the game's scope over the past few years. Millions of people around the world still [...]
With the DT 240 Pro, Beyerdynamic has been rounding down the headphone portfolio for several months now, although this small but rather inexpensive headphone is, in my view, mercilessly underestimated. The current street price of only 85 euros implies the unjust impression of a cheap Chinese purchase, but this is really wrong for the DT 240 Pro [...]
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 [...]
