While I lie over the whole weekend in the last trains for something completely new and can therefore hardly look out of the eyes (or test something else), I leave you to today’s Sunday times quite deliberately a little perplexed. In fact, the scanning electron microscope has spit out some interesting structures, the actual use of which must [...]
GALAX has many brands, one of which is called Kuroutoshikou Galakuro, for example, and is (unfortunately) sold exclusively in Japan. The company has announced the availability of the new RTX 4070 Ti. But “new” might not be a good word here, because the same card is already offered by GALAX and KFA2 as EX WHITE model in the US and [...]
Just as the Ryzen 7000X3D series is set to launch next week, AMD has announced a new promotion for existing Ryzen 7000 CPUs. The company and its partners are offering between $75 and $125 in savings on select AM5 builds. This offer takes into account AMD discounts on current Ryzen 7000 CPUs and select motherboard/memory bundles. Gamers will also [...]
A test of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 3D V-Cache has already made it into the public, namely in an AIDA64 memory benchmark with the new High Efficiency mode. There was also a CPU-z screenshot leak to go with it. By the way, you can also see two Ryzen CPUs from our own stock in the picture, but I can already spoil that this is not an NDA breach [...]
The very first Ryzen 9 7945HX benchmark was spotted in the Geekbench database. This processor is part of AMD’s “Dragon Range” series with up to 16 Zen4 cores and 32 threads. The number of threads is just as high as in Intel’s 13th generation Core HX models. Generation, but the number of cores is lower (compared to 24). The [...]
With the update KB5022913, Microsoft has once again angered the professional users who had more or less grudgingly come to terms with the new Windows 11. Apart from the fact that many useful tools have been made worse again or quite banal things from the Windows everyday life have been moved or cutted again – with the popular Explorer [...]
Do you know the AMD Project Quantum 3D fan? This is a very special 3D design that has now been created by fans for the unfortunately never released AMD product codenamed Project Quantum. Even a few years after its announcement, some fans still liked the idea so much that they now simply made their own version. As a reminder, the Quantum concept PC [...]
Intel’s long overdue HEDT platform update is just around the corner and we already reported about it in detail. The Xeon W3400/2400 processors are thus finally about to be launched on the market for the desktop sector as well. The new series are based on Sapphire Rapids for the socket LGA4677 with optimizations for workstations. Some models [...]
Every day is a groundhog… er, Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5 kit day, of course. We have already presented the exterior of Corsair’s high-end RAM modules a fair few times, but, as with so many things, it is mainly the inner values that matter. I can therefore already tell you that today’s test subject relies on SK Hynix 16 [...]
This summer, AMD’s Vega graphics cards will celebrate their fifth birthday. Always standing in the shadow of Nvidia’s Pascal cards, the power-hungry cards were never really popular with gamers. Currently, the small models with 56 shader clusters change hands for just over 100€ on the second-hand market. Without further ado, we [...]
The latest attempt at overclocking AMD's CPUs focuses purely on the integrated graphics solution and possible optimizations. It is worth remembering that the Ryzen 7000 desktop series has a tiny RDNA2 GPU component with only 2 compute units. That's not nearly enough to provide a decent gaming experience, but it also doesn't stop anyone [...]
There is still no word on official DirectX11 tessellation support, which means Chinese GPUs like MTT S80 will still not support many of the popular and old games. However, software development is progressing and the company has just announced that 42 games are now supported by the hardware, doubling the number since the last driver release. The [...]
In late 2022, a Japanese media outlet published an interview with AMD executives responsible for the company's graphics business. They were asked about the current generation of RDNA architectures, but also about what might come next. The interview focuses on many important topics, such as primitives and mesh shaders and how they are used by [...]
It was not long ago that the first small systems with the mobile Ryzen 5000 processors were launched on the market, and there are already more. With 16 threads and an RDNA2 architecture for the iGPU, a decent performance increase can be expected. In the following article, you can find out whether this idea will become reality. and already in [...]
When I tested the CORSAIR HS65 Surround last year, I was torn. On the one hand, it really didn’t do anything wrong in terms of workmanship, but on the other hand, I found the sound and features a bit sobering for the called price. You can read why I came to a similar conclusion about the wireless version of the HS65 in the review. With the [...]
The new AMD Ryzen 7000HX series, also known as “Dragon Range”, is based on the desktop chip and is currently one of the most powerful mobile processor families. These series with 45W+ are thereby intended for enthusiasts and “high-performance gaming laptops”. The Ryzen 7 7745HX isn’t the lowest SKU in the entire [...]
The latest Intel 13th Gen HX CPU and NVIDIA's RTX 4090 are installed as components in the Razer Blade 18. Currently, this is the best gaming hardware you can get in a laptop, but that also comes at a high price. Needless to say, where the form factor limits performance, there will always be people who want to buy the best and most efficient [...]
We start today’s Sunday with the new GeForce RTX 5090 in a space-saving dual-fan design and a tolerable 2200 watts TBP. Also noteworthy is the 230VHPWR plug, which can also be plugged directly into the socket via NVIDIA adapter. A suitable ATX 3.0 power supply is already integrated in the case
The upcoming Graphics Technology Conference (GTC) will feature a keynote address by Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. The event officially begins March 20 and will run through March 23. The keynote has been confirmed for March 21 and will include many topics that might be of interest to graphics enthusiasts. At the moment, unfortunately [...]
The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is the upcoming 16-core/32-thread processor that comes with 64 MB of 3D V-cache. This is the flagship Ryzen CPU for the AM5 socket, which is scheduled for release later this month. The processor was tested on the ASUS X670E Hero motherboard and together with 32 GB of DDR5 memory with unknown speed. The Geekbench data shows [...]
