With marketing, that's always such a thing, because that starts with the category. Semi-open or semi-closed? Depending on the head size and the resulting pressure, this is a matter of interpretation, but more. And otherwise? With currently just 60 ... Microphone measurement and sound check First of all, we can also measure the frequency range [...]
Wireless headphones are available like sand by the sea, added. And so we pick one of the grains of sand and see where the real added value lies. The price is quite proud, but the battery life is also it. Now all that remains is the re... Sound check and measurement As we test, we have already explained in the basic article "Gaming Headsets: [...]
What do a cooling unit and a keyboard have in common? Both can be quite cool and come from the same source. Or that press employees may well be employed in metalworking. But before we have too many M... Keycaps Topre relies on polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) for the keycaps, which of course also underlines the premium claim in the end. This very [...]
Sapphire took its time, which certainly did not harm the whole project. While some competitors have already scattered PVT samples, i.e. the small series, among the media before the start of the actual mass production, S... Board layout Sapphire differs significantly from AMD's reference design when designing the board. This even makes sense in [...]
The first major driver package was the Catalyst Omega back in 2014. A year later, the Radeon Software Crimson Edition driver was available for the astonished people. In 2016, AMD gave us the Crimson ReLive Edition before Christmas and this ...
The annual big update is coming up again and so we were also curious to see what AMD can conjure up this time. The installation already showed us that everything is not running smoothly yet, because the one for the pure workstation cards...
Take the very successful Wavemaster Two BT or Two Neo, give it more volume and amplifier power - an active pair of speakers is ready, which can be sounded from neutrally balanced to Mainstram bass-heavy everything and even on the des... Body and loudspeaker The very well stiffened body made of MDF is completely glued with simple foam mats on the [...]
For approx. 80 Euro street price you move on smooth ice, because you already venture into areas where you can already buy really good mid-range headsets. But USB, RGB and a few technical gimmicks justify this... Measurements and equalizer presets Without any driver influence, the whole thing is measured by approx. 50 Hz to 1 KHz still quite neat [...]
The Galax GeForce GTX 1070 Ti EX, which is sold in Europe under the BRAND KFA2 for trademark reasons, is now one of the cheapest – if not the cheapest – GeForce GTX 1070 Ti on the German market. This, of course, arouses our particular interest, because we are already curious whether and what concessions one may have to accept – [...]
Here and now we deal with the rendering and performance of pure compute tasks. We cover gaming performance, as well as workstation performance in CAD (real-time display), in other parts of this CPU chart... Solidworks 2015, like Creo 3.0, not only uses the CPU to realize the graphics output, but also, in contrast to the free SPECviewperf, also [...]
Here and now we deal with workstation performance in CAD (real-time display). We cover gaming performance, rendering, and pure compute in other parts of these CPU charts:Part 1 - Gaming... Since AutoCAD can only scale very poorly (3D) to not (2D) over several threads, the available clock and thus of course also the height of the achievable IPC [...]
In this first part, we'll start with the gaming benchmarks and then we'll look at workstation performance in CAD (real-time display), rendering, and compute. Part 1 - Gam... We start with two synthetic benchmarks, but consciously share this category in DirectX11 and DirectX12. In the 3DMark Fire Strike, the core count dominates the physics [...]
Compared to many others who have simply adopted the board and cooler of the GeForce GTX 1080, Gigabyte relies on the revised design of the GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming. In terms of performance, this board is more than sufficient, only for cooling... Gigabyte uses the board of the GTX 1070 Ti G1 Gaming for the GTX 1070 Ti G1 Gaming in the second [...]
Five days ago there was again the annual EA Marmot Day (quite mis-entitled call this also the NFS memory infusion cycle). The eternally saluting Need for Speed, meanwhile already badly old and like a veteran harbour d...
Two sisters in spirit, but... Always nice in turn. Actually, we only wanted to test one model, but suddenly UPS and two huge boxes were at the door. Double effort, double luck? Although the two specimens are based on ... Soundbar and Connectivity The nearly 1.02 meter long soundbar Klipsch RSB-8 consists of a multi-shell, matt black plastic [...]
So, or something like that, the R&D department at Zotac must have thought when the new project was approached. But the fact that even then something can go wrong and pencil-tipping accountants hand over the rather worse designers, will be... Zotac bets on the Zotac GTX 1070 Ti Amp! Extreme on the same board as with the Zotac GTX 1080 Amp [...]
After all, even a few years after the rise in popularity of mechanical keyboards, the prices of most devices have not fallen significantly. Sure, you can now even get illuminated input devices with Kailh buttons from approx. 60 Euro, but who e... N-Key Rollover (NKRO) and USB? The USB works in return for the active, interrupt-based PS/2 port, just [...]
Tested maps and links to the individual reviews In the following we list all our extensive individual reviews for the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, which is especially important for the technical features and the details of the implementation in the ... Benchmarks in 2560 x 1440 pixels (WQHD) and 3840 x 2160 pixels (UHD) We have deliberately dispensed with [...]
Anyone who thinks that Nvidia has already brought all feasible GPUs based on the Pascal architecture is of course hugely mistaken. Despite a fairly extensive selection of GeForce GTX 10 cards, the company is also the... In direct competition, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti must of course compete primarily with the Radeon RX Vega 56. In addition, we are [...]
The fact that all GeForce GTX 1070 Ti of the individual board partners must be delivered ex works with the same basic and boost clock is only one side. But that there are differences, at least in the case of cooling and power supply, which... Take the well-known cooler of the Gigabyte GTX 1080 Gaming G1, pack it on a shorter PCB and the new card [...]
