Efficiency comparison between AMD Radeon RX 590 and RX 580 with interesting insights in sub-voltage | igorsLAB

I had already teased this follow-up in the launch article for the Radeon RX 590 and thus also promised the readers, only such a cluster of never-ending measuring series then takes a little longer than expected. After a few hours, I stopped counting how many times I was subvolting towards the desktop or the Back/Greyscreen i crashed. But in the end [...]


On the hard BIOS tour: manual EEPROM flash of a GeForce RTX to bypass the lock with the hardware ID at NVflash | igorsLAB

First of all, I would like to put two important things before this test report.

How-to-Guide: Optimize Graphics Card Cooling and Thermal Paste

In this article, we don't just want to limit ourselves to a thermal paste comparison with (de-)assembly instructions, but also to show why some cards simply can't cool better and why you can't cool the entire cooling system, including the fans... Dismantling without depression Before screwing, for example, with GPU-Z you should log the [...]
