You have to look hard to find the advantage of the Ryzen 9 3900XT over the Ryzen 9 3900X. The longer such a session runs and also includes different scenarios and a very different thread load (number, load level), the smaller the actual differences become and you have to look very carefully. In [...]

After one year of Ryzen 3000 (“Matisse”), the replacement of the current Ryzen 5 3600X, Ryzen 7 3800X and Ryzen 9 3900X is approaching, by adding MTS2 (internal for “Matisse Refresh”), an improved XT replacement, which should make waiting for Ryzen 4000 [...]
Especially after the tests of the B550 motherboards, the justified question about the problem with the split PCIe 4.0 ports naturally arises. PCIe 4.0 with 16 or 8x connection should not show any (serious) difference together with the suitable (AMD) graphics card. But what about the fallback [...]
To make sure we understand each other, I’m testing today with the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Master a motherboard with AMD’s smaller chipset, a midrange chip, which is supposed to be well below its X570 counterpart. But exactly this B550 chip sits here on an upper class substructure, which is [...]
I had already reported a few things about NVIDIA’s new generation of Ampere cards in several articles and read the feedback on them. Interesting there were especially the extrapolations of the number of possible CUDA cores, where all comparisons to Turing regarding performance and efficiency [...]
Since there are always questions and some things are often confused, we will give you some insights into AMD-UEFI, what is colloquially called “the BIOS” (although it is no longer correct). I have also broken down the following extremely to remain as simple and understandable as [...]
The classic soundcard is dead, long live the classic soundcard? Somehow it is and I would like to explain it again with a longer self-experiment. I myself criticize the headphone outputs of the onboard sound solutions often enough and am always glad when motherboard manufacturers have followed the [...]
One for all and all on one? it’s perfectly possible if you use the right hardware. With RainPOW! 2.0 the German startup CrankzWare has combined pretty much everything that can be read and controlled into one unit, as long as it has RGB and connectors. The advantage of the RainPOW! 2.0, which [...]
In part 1 “We build a Hackintosh – part 1 as a starting aid for newcomers and assembly” it was “only” about choosing the right hardware and assembling it, but now it’s getting serious. I would like to thank al6042 from the Hackintosh Forum, who was able to shorten the [...]
What should one actually write in capital letters about a mousepad if it works? but people are curious and since everybody and everything is screaming for RGB by now, one can also try it on oneself. Since I, as a user of a full-size mechanical keyboard and low-senser in general, only use pads with [...]
Toshiba became KIOXIA and now the EXCERIA series is presented, which moves in three directions: the normal consumer, enthusiasts and the upgradeers with SATA option. Some time ago, the RC500 was introduced, which even uses the same controller and is also available in stores as an NVMe-SSD for the [...]
Our forum user casi30 has created an optimization guide for us, which should make the impossible possible, especially since the combination as CPU and GPU is already quite sporty. He cools an AMD Ryzen R7 3800X with the included Wraith Prism, runs a reference model of the Radeon RX 5700 for this [...]
Today I took a look at the 1MORE Dual Driver ANC Pro, the latest Bluetooth neckband headphones from 1MORE. Actually, I have a rather tense relationship with in-ears, but this may also be due to the fact that most of the time the upholstery does not fit. But I’ll gladly be proven wrong. The [...]
I had actually been thinking about an Asus ZenScreen in the same size, because I would have liked to have had a portable monitor for both the smartphone and the notebook. But this monitor doesn’t have an hour in hands-on mode, because it unfortunately had a pretty good reflection and extreme [...]
Owning an Apple PC is usually quite an expensive affair and is usually celebrated almost religiously. But if you want to work with MacOS, perhaps to have an advantage over Windows PCs in one or the other application, or simply to be different, you don’t necessarily have to buy an Apple Mac [...]
Update from 03.06.2020 Further benchmarks have been added, especially considering hardware acceleration (AI, rendering). In addition, the layout of the benchmark page was adjusted and restructured. Our workstation graphics card charts are a flowing process that takes into account the market [...]
After I could finally put the Workstation Graphics Card Charts 2020 online with far more than 200 hours of pure testing time, I now have to work on the rest, which, I honestly admit, I always put off a bit. Because the boundaries between what you can consider a classic workstation scenario and what [...]
But I live in the here and now and there it has become (as so often) a bit tight with time, but of course something will be finished. Actually, there was a little bit more planned, but there was the sampling god and a more complex motherboard conversion planned, which almost cost me an extra day [...]
After the launch of the current Navi-Consumer and Workstation graphics cards, the Radeon VII has long been quiet in the Radeon VII, but now the Radeon Pro VII is a new edition for the professional sector. It is aimed primarily at broadcast and technology professionals and targets demanding [...]
In 2004, Nvidia introduced MXM as the first open standard for interchangeable graphics solutions in the mobile sector. But even though we have now arrived in 2020 and version 3.1, it is mainly the manufacturers themselves who are increasingly emphatically refusing to replace graphics modules in [...]
