Despite all the features like higher power limit, 3-fan design and ARGB, the KFA2 GeForce RTX 4070 EX Gamer (outside EU sold as Galax) belongs to the inexpensive models of the GeForce RTX 4070 series, which are now also sold well below the MSRP. So good, so exciting. Because the current street price is around 629 Euros and is really a real [...]
I noticed especially in the so-called MSRP cards of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070 that NVIDIA still does intensive binning and here two quality gradations (“buckets”) are again quite restrictive selected in bin 0 (worse) and bin 1 (better). We still know this from the so-called “Non-A” and “A” chips in [...]
For the Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 7900 XTX Vapor-X 24 GB, Sapphire opens the very big cutlery box. Compared to the MBA card (made by AMD), the Vapor-Chamber works perfectly and does exactly what is expected of it. Even in the most outlandish living and installation situations. Together with a significantly higher power limit, the clock rate is [...]
It’s that time again: Latency Time for eSports enthusiasts and of course those who want to become one. Besides high FPS and low – constant – frame times, latency can make the difference between victory and defeat. Everyone has to reflect on their own skill in the respective game – self-critically – because [...]
Let’s start the graphics card week with today’s review of an RTX 4070 from Palit and an information that I also got confirmed in the meantime: NVIDIA will stop supplying its board partners for a few weeks. In the previous news, there was usually explicit talk about the GeForce RTX 4070, which is now also the case for the GeForce RTX [...]
The Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Dual 12GB in review is one of the cheaper GeForce RTX 4070s that are already sold well below the MSRP. So good, so unspectacular. Especially since Gainward’s “sister card”, the RTX 4070 Ghost (same manufacturer, different label, different look) has already cracked the pychological 600 mark with 599 [...]
I already wrote about the cheaper MSRP cards and the resulting cost down. With the GeForce RTX 4070 Verto 12GB, PNY tries to square the circle, so to speak, by not saving essential things, but only the rather unimportant ones. More voltage converters, fewer fans and instead of a massive cooler design, a cleverly stabilized lightweight [...]
I recently discussed the prices and the profit margins of the board partners for the GeForce RTX 4070 and also noted that there is hardly any financial leeway left for the manufacturers, especially for the cheapest models, i.e. the so-called MSRP cards (cards that are supposed to be sold at maximum MSRP). This is reflected on the one hand in the [...]
I already wrote a few lines about the so-called MSRP cards and the rather annoying cost-down. With the GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming X Trio, MSI brings the exact opposite design to the market, where they pretty much do everything right within the financial balancing act. A solid cooling solution, which we already know from the RTX 4070 Ti, a better and [...]
Intel claims that the performance per dollar of the Arc A750 is better than that of the RTX 3060 with the latest driver update, and has released some new performance data to go with it. To fix issues, provide game-on support and boost performance, Intel says it has worked to improve the Arc GPU drivers. The latest beta update of Arc GPU Graphics [...]
It’s nice to read, even after 4 years, that Igor was right about NVIDIA’s Space Invaders. Whereby the news is actually not news at all, because there would be Google for such findings. At the time, by the way, the whole thing with artifacts and dying memory modules was a big deal and NVIDIA reacted relatively quickly at the time, also [...]
It’s that time again, NVIDIA has launched the GeForce RTX 4070. Igor already presented you a detailed test in the usual depth on Wednesday. Today we’ll take a look at the new GeForce RTX 4070 from a slightly different angle. Because always only the standard resolutions in 16:9 format, that’s also kind of boring. And this is where [...]
Actually, I wanted to digest yesterday’s launch of the GeForce RTX 4070 and the associated additional load first and then dive into the individual reviews of the various cards, but there are really things that make you think in the concentrated power. The normal Reviewer will probably not see it for lack of sensitization for technical [...]
The first card in today’s small roundup is the MSI RTX 4070 Ventus 12 GB. For today’s launch day of the MSRP cards, we can of course only show the cards that also meet NVIDIA’s specifications and are offered at the MSRP of 659 Euros. Since the performance in games and applications is the same for all these 200 watt cards, you can [...]
The third card in today’s small roundup is the rather sleek PNY RTX 4070 verto 12 GB. For today’s launch day of the MSRP cards, we can of course unfortunately only show the cards that also meet NVIDIA’s specifications and are offered at the MSRP of 659 Euros. Since the performance in games and applications is the same for all [...]
What do you do to raise awareness of a new product as a manufacturer? You simply split the launch of such a GeForce RTX 4070 12 GB and first release the cards that are also offered at the MSRP. So beautiful, so unexciting, because in the end all these cards are somehow the same. Except for one, because it is much more equal than the others. And [...]
The second card in today’s small MSRP roundup is the Palit RTX 4070 Dual 12 GB. For today’s launch day of the MSRP cards, we can of course only show the cards that also meet NVIDIA’s specifications and are offered at the MSRP of 659 Euros. Since the performance in games and applications is the same for all these 200 watt cards [...]
After the launch is before the launch and therefore Igor has an unspecified article ready for later today, but he already picked a deep red blossom in AMD’s blog garden yesterday, which I gratefully picked up for this morning to fill the gap. Because although NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070 has not been officially launched yet, there are [...]
RDNA3 has been on the market for quite some time and besides AMD’s reference cards, you usually only see reviews of the RX 7900XTX and usually only of the more expensive custom models. The RX 7900 XT currently plays a kind of shadowy existence, especially the somewhat cheaper models of the respective board partners. That was reason enough [...]
NVIDIA’s Reflex technology is designed to reduce the delay between player input and game response. Through this technology, players will be able to react faster and more accurately to in-game events, which can be crucial in competitive games like Counter-Strike. The new Counter-Strike 2 was announced a few days ago and has already attracted [...]
