To understand the meaning of it all, you should read my article "Radeon RX 5600 XT with new BIOS and stable RAM without Flash! AMD Limits and Benchmark". Because there I describe very precisely how AMD with the new BIOS actually presses the entire overclocking margin of the card into the factory settings in order to be able to offer the [...]
I deliberately did not participate in the cross-media BIOS discussion of the last few days, because the speculations and data that have become public are actually only the tip of a bigger iceberg and the potential problem lies much deeper. Therefore I want to collect the facts here and now and also only after the launch, which give a quite complex [...]
Fresh photos of the PlayStation 5 devkit have surfaced, giving us a better view not only of the hardware, but also of the new controller. These new images, shown on the PlayStation 5 subreddit, give us a first glimpse of the Devkit's Blu-ray drive, USB ports and Dual Shock 5 controller. Just right for The CES 2020, new images of the [...]
Preface I published this article a little over 10 years ago and when I browsed the old content I also came across this entertaining treasure, which many certainly do not know anymore. Interestingly, for some time now, the contents of the German localization of Tom's hardware (tomshardware.de) in the so-called "Wayback Machine" are no [...]
Nvidia has announced PhysX 5.0 and will be available "pretty soon in 2020." According to the GeForce makers, this new version of the physics middleware SDK (which became available as open source about a year ago) introduces support for a 'Unified particle simulation framework'. Among the new features NVIDIA lists for PhysX 5.0 is [...]
New benchmark, new luck? I remember the good old days when Starcraft II and Replay were part of my benchmark inventory. Long, long it's been… The game itself was released a year ago, now it's available as a benchmark. Whether the sales figures are so low or you wanted to offer the community something good – I tend to be more [...]
Today we are testing a Palit GeForce RTX 2070 Super Jetstream, which should not be confused with the well-known RTX 2070 SuperJetsream. The poor manufacturer now suffers a little from Nvidia’s all-encompassing general super-super-supersification and many miserly bargains quickly turn out to be super-confusion. But since the long-established [...]
Meanwhile, games like Call of Duty with Raytracing even run quite smoothly on the GeForce RTX 2060, if you don't overdo it with the settings. But what are the most favorable cards from Palit and Gainward really good in their performance class? Here in the lab, I tested a cheap Gainward RTX 2060 Ghost, a quiet Palit RTX 2070 Super Jetstream and [...]
It's seemingly en vogue to tear up and tear up everything that's been on offer as part of the NfS series since Most Wanted. And one should beat up the filmmakers of "The Fast and the Furious" at least once a day that they managed so magnificently to enliven this series for years to come. But I am now consciously opposing the [...]
Let's be honest: I was really looking forward to the game. With Ghost Recon Wildlands I have already spent a lot of my rather scarce free time in the past – voluntarily and really motivated. That's when the new game came to me just right. Or maybe not? I'm still really at a sway, whether all this has been mixed together [...]
RTX On and Cyberpunk, a hotly debated feature story. The game is already reaching the margins of the game, about which other providers can only marvel, so that the expectations are of course immensely high. Of course, you will have to deliver, otherwise the disappointment will be all the greater later on.
The GeForce RTX 2060 got several scolds for the launch, mainly because of the rather meagre memory expansion of only 6 GB, which was actually not appropriate for the purchase price. Now everything is supposed to be super and you are aiming with an EIA of 419 euros incl. Vat. in the end, a very similar class of buyers. The question is still the [...]
The fact that the RTX 2070 is being upgraded is one thing, because this card hasnot sold so badly. The other thing is the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, which wants to scratch the RTX 2080, which in turn, according to the distributors and the board partner, does not really want to be sold - at least as far as the expected quantities are concerned. Price [...]
You can start from scratch and work your way free, or you can rely on long-standing expertise, which you buy purposefully. EVGA has done the latter for good reason and, together with Audio Note, has launched the EVGA NU Audio as a plug-in sound card that does not want to crack, but wants to knock. You can see that very quickly in the price [...]
Unfortunately, we have to point out that we had to withdraw the award for the headset in the meantime, because quality problems occurred in the long-term test, which are not acceptable in this price range. We apologise to our readers, but we are unable to fully uncover such shortcomings in the short time available for such tests.
The rubber coating of the palm rest looks like piano lacquer, between the keys there is the bread notration for several days and on some caps are dents, as deep as Lake Constance. Just cuddled up. After more than 10 years in the daily gaming use of a counter-strike fanatic, this may look like this. And the rest?
So there are still the really bright moments when testing gaming headsets, where sound and attention to detail mean even more than RGB lighting and the battle for the most affable design, including virtual surround tape. Honest, precise and, unfortunately, also a little more expensive than the average. This is exactly where Sennheiser wanted to [...]
As you know, I went more or less voluntarily to the YouTubers, even though I don't actually stream games, but "only" have to make sure that the HDMI signals of my cameras get to the workstation as latency and loss-free as possible. With up to three cameras, an equipment can become quite expensive quite quickly, which also includes [...]
