A new article has been published on AMD’s community page that deals with the current Radeon RX 7000/6000 GPUs. In the current performance rankings, the latest RDNA3 GPUs naturally occupy the top places, but they are also a lot more expensive than their RDNA2 predecessors at the same time.

To date, MaxSun has only launched one RTX 40 GPU, the RTX 4080 iCraft. The company’s RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 models have a lot more in common, as they both use a similar 3-slot design with 3 fans. But more importantly, they also have the same white cooler outfit. The iCraft MaxSun RTX 4070 Ti relies on the usual AD104 GPU with 7680 [...]
The Taiwanese company was in no hurry to introduce its latest WinFast model. The card follows the design of the RTX 4090/4080 variants, which also feature three fans with a large X-shaped cover. In terms of size, the RTX 4070 Ti is just as thick as the AD102/103-based models and requires 3.5 slots (68.3 mm). However, it is slightly shorter (~3 cm) [...]
We remember that NVIDIA launched an updated version of the RTX 3060 Ti model in October last year, but we haven’t seen a proper review of this card until now, probably because the availability of these cards was limited. Now the Polish ithardware site has the KFA2/GALAX RTX 3060 Ti G6X OC model available and has done a comparison with RTX [...]
AMD has released its latest Radeon Software 23.1.2 drivers, which only support the RX 7000 series and not previous generation cards. According to TechpowerUp, it has now been 48 days since the red team released a driver for its previous generation cards. The lack of updates for older AMD graphics cards, especially for the Radeon RX 6000 GPUs, is [...]
Today we are going to round two with the EK Quantum Vector2 FE RTX 4090 D-RGB. A GeForce RTX 4090 FE is per se well cooled and the original cooler is actually also perfectly sufficient. So one would hardly have a valid reason as a buyer to disassemble and rebuild this collectible. Well, almost none, because the weight and space requirements of [...]
The fact that the MorePowerTool from Hellm and the Red BIOS Rebellion Team (R.B.R.T.) in the background for RDNA3 will no longer exist in the usual form has already been reported by some media, but somewhat unreflected and unfortunately with insufficient source information. It is important for us to note that the R.B.R.T is not a group of [...]
A range of Vega 20 models have been unveiled by AMD, including workstation, data center and even gaming cards. Probably the best known SKU is the Radeon VII, a high-end model with 3840 cores, 16 GB HBM2 memory and over 1 TB/s bandwidth. The company has also developed several other Radeon cards based on the Vega 20, such as the Radeon Pro VII, a [...]
According to the latest sales data from TechEpiphany, NVIDIA has already sold 545 models of the RTX 4070 Ti in the third week of January. This primarily includes all variants sold by the German retailer Mindfactory. This number is higher than the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090, which totaled 210 and 190 units, respectively…. The fact that so many RTX [...]
The first angled power adapters for RTX 40 GPUs are now commercially available and one user on Reddit has already purchased such a 12VHPWR adapter from modDIY and is already using it with his ASUS TUF RTX 4090. Of course, it solves the main problem with the original cable, namely the space required when bending. The adapter that is used now is [...]
After a longer abstinence here, at least with the articles, I am now back with a small Intel ARC special. The cards have a niche existence, which is on the one hand due to the rather poor availability, especially of custom models, but also due to the rather mixed tests of the cards after their release in November, where the cards showed weaknesses [...]
The 12VHPWR cable is probably a fragile thing to be careful with, and it's unfortunately now the standard for all NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 graphics cards. Manufacturers of power supplies and custom cables like CableMod have gone a step further to offer more durable cables, but it looks like even these can burn out if not connected properly. In [...]
The upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti will reportedly have a significantly lower TDP compared to what we’ve heard in rumors before. NVIDIA could go the absolute efficiency route with the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and score with 20% lower TBP than the RTX 3060 Ti. According to another rumor from Kopite7kimi, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4060 Ti has [...]
The speculations why NVIDIA introduces the AD103-301 on the RTX 4080 were quite manifold. It was rumored that the chip would ultimately be cheaper and could also save costs, and quite a few media and commentators in the forums already speculated about a price saving and of course also about the fact that the end customer would probably not get [...]
The Raijintek Morpheus is currently still the most popular and above all also the most potent air cooler for graphics cards, but the compatibility was somewhat behind the current graphics card generations from NVIDIA and AMD. I got myself a final version directly from Taiwan in advance, however, this cooler (as of yesterday morning) is also [...]
MSI is not the only company taking its time with announcing its own Radeon RX 7000 cards, Dataland and Vastarmor, two Chinese graphics card manufacturers, have not even released or announced any Radeon RX 7900 XT or RX 7900 XTX custom designs yet. And that is already one month after these SKUs were introduced by AMD. Interestingly, both companies [...]
Gainward was the first company to directly confirm the new variant of the AD103 GPUs, with MSI, Galax/KFA2 and Colorful also confirming this chip internally when asked by igor’sLAB. An updated chip, now called AD103-301, does not bring any changes for the end users, but can help board partners to simplify the board layout a bit, save space [...]
KrisFix, a professional graphics card repair service, claims that out of 60 Radeon RX 6900/6800 cards recently sent to the service, 48 had the same defect. A defect that makes them beyond repair. All 48 reported cases occurred in the last three weeks alone. KrisFix, who asks for more information from the GPU community in a video, says he conducted [...]
MSI says no to AMD designs? Kind of. The company finally fulfills its promise and announces the first Radeon 7000 GPUs on a tried and true basis. This is to be done before the end of January. However, no relabeled AMD reference models (MBA) will be launched for the time being. The company has now revealed the full specifications of the new Radeon [...]
Before I mention more numbers about the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and the cooler problem, as well as a few words about the supply chain and its failure in quality management, we also have to talk about quality management in general and quality assurance as well as quality control in particular today. Why? Because it helps to better understand the complex [...]
