Sapphire had already launched a white Radeon RX 7900GRE Pure 16GB shortly after the launch of the GRE in Germany, which I will test again today. Now that availability, prices and drivers have stabilized somewhat, today’s test was practically a must. Firstly, this GRE card lacks the drinker gene, as was the case with the Nitro, and secondly [...]

The next generation of NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards is already in the starting blocks and according to rumors, the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs will be launched in the fourth quarter of 2024. The new GPUs are based on the Blackwell architecture, which combines Nvidia’s latest innovations in graphics performance and energy efficiency. The [...]
This time it was Asus and the ears of the buyer, who had purchased an Asus RTX 4080 TUF Gaming just over a year ago. Why did I even bother with the root cause research and repair? As always, it’s a bit down to my curiosity and the fact that I find it hard to say no in justified damage situations once something has triggered me. The affected [...]
Spring has arrived and the first cherry blossoms are showing their leaves. Cherry blossom petals are particularly eye-catching due to their white-pink color and for this reason PowerColor has introduced a new Hellhound Radeon RX 7800 XT, which has been designed entirely in the sakura style. Sakura is a Japanese word and means cherry blossom. But [...]
The unexpected often happens. And perhaps an Asian graphics card manufacturer is returning to the German market, which has scored highly in the past with interesting graphics card conversions.

Companies such as The [...]
New information on the upcoming AMD RDNA 4 “Radeon RX 8000” GPUs and their performance placement has been published by Twitter user @All_The_Watts. According to this, the GPUs will comprise two different chipsets: the top-of-the-range Navi 48 chip and the mid-range Navi 44 chip. The Navi 48 chip is said to be slightly slower than the [...]
With the new Pulse Pocket Portable, Sapphire is also following the trend towards minimization and, in AMD, has the right partner for the new, so-called PP form factor. The new graphics chip is called Navi39 and is also economical enough to be powered directly from the USB port. As AMD is also allowed to participate in the new HVS program (High [...]
It is currently not easy for China to obtain state-of-the-art technology due to the sanctions imposed by the USA. There are also strict sanctions on the import of graphics cards. China is helping itself with a weaker RTX 4090 D, which can keep up with the standard version when overclocked, as HKPEC reveals. But first things first: The USA has [...]
TomsHardware reports that Intel’s next-generation discrete graphics card, Battlemage, is finally taking shape. Excerpts from shipping documents published by @momomo_us show that the company is working on at least two GPUs: Battlemage G10 and Battlemage G21. Battlemage G10 is expected to be the more powerful chip, while Battlemage G21 is [...]
In an era where new PC games often consume more resources than a black hole consumes its neighborhood, the PC port of “Horizon Forbidden West” shines like a Gallic village in a world occupied by Roman legions – unbending, unshakable and sturdy as an oak tree. Meanwhile, elsewhere, the latest blockbusters, led by [...]
Things are going back and forth when it comes to the Radeon 7900. It was only recently announced that Acer is launching the Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 7900 GRE OC on the market.

Until now, it was not possible to overclock the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE as much as many would have liked due to a limitation imposed by AMD. However, this is now possible thanks to a new driver update. Thanks to the new Adrenalin 24.3.1 update, it is now possible to overclock AMD’s GPU more. Although nothing was mentioned in the patches from [...]
It’s clear to everyone that, for the most part, a laptop doesn’t come close to a desktop PC. This is particularly noticeable when you want to play games or use more powerful applications. Here you can clearly see that performance and quality are already limited. A gaming laptop can help, but even here there are severe limitations in [...]
