It is common practice to migrate codebases from one project or programming language to another, as this allows developers to access a wider range of features and simplifies maintenance. In this case, however, there is an interesting development as Team Red has apparently accelerated its efforts to port the CUDA platform to run on AMD’s ROCm [...]

AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE can now be overclocked higher

Some things are accidental discoveries and are actually so trivial that nobody even bothers to question the current flows in the PC and, above all, to measure them. We only ever measure the 12-volt rails and are happy. But with connectors such as the 12VHPWR or 12V2x6 over 6+2 pin, the 8-pin EPS and the 24-pin mainboard connection, does exactly [...]
Our colleagues at WccfTech had the pleasure of talking to NVIDA and it turned out that the new GeForce RTX 3050 GPU has been optimized for budget PC gamers and thus extends the RTX experience (within this very narrow corset) to a broad player base. With 6 GB of memory, it should make functions such as RTX Ray Tracing and AI calculations accessible [...]
Today marks the last round of the green super upgrade weeks and with the new GeForce RTX 4080 Super, there is a chip that is on the one hand more of the same and yet is supposed to be something different. With the RRP of 1109 euros (old model 1469 euros), the company naturally wants to create a sales impulse and at the same time suggest a [...]
ASUS has unveiled an extension to the Noctua edition range of GeForce RTX 30 and RTX 40 series GPUs to coincide with today’s launch at 3pm. The next GPU is based on NVIDIA’s flagship RTX-40 SUPER cards, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER. Although it is not in today’s test, two other cards are. ASUS has once again collaborated with [...]
Samsung plans to showcase its next-generation GDDR7 memory at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuit Conference 2024 in San Francisco next month. The company will hold a session titled “A 16Gb 37 Gb/s GDDR7 DRAM with PAM3 Optimized TRX Equalization and ZQ Calibration” to showcase its advanced memory solutions for the next [...]
Please don’t panic again, but the new adapter is so fragile that quality management and controls can’t be tough enough to ensure safe operation. And since there will be no media launch of the GeForce RTX 4080 Super tomorrow and no results can be published until the day after tomorrow, I’m going to focus today on a product that is [...]
The open-source RADV Vulkan driver has been developed to take a strong competitive position in terms of hardware support, continuous optimization and bug fixes. Recently, extensive optimizations have been made to the RADV Vulkan driver, resulting in a significant increase in ray tracing performance of up to 200%. These improvements make the RADV [...]
Today I was supposed to launch an OC card at 3 pm, but unfortunately FedEx prevented that (once again). The card only arrived after traveling the world for over a week. This is exactly why we now have Plan G like Gainward and thus the RTX 4070 Ti Super Panther OC 16 GB MSRP as a replacement. Whereby the replacement is actually almost unfair [...]
WITH the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Lightning Z, MSI has once again made a real catch. This is because there is a significant increase compared to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio, which has already been tested. Our detailed test...
AMD Fluid Motion Frames technology was presented for the first time in September. This technology uses frame generation to increase FPS in games with just one click. Unlike FSR 3, which requires collaboration with game developers, AFMF technology can easily integrate image generation technology by injecting it through the driver side. Although FSR [...]
MSI hat nach weiteren Untersuchungen nicht nur ein BIOS für die betroffene RTX 4070 Ti Super Ventus 3X zur Verfügung gestellt, sondern in einem Aufwasch für alle bisher durch MSI gelaunchten Karten mit diesem Chip. Egal, ob man direkt betroffen ist oder nicht – MSI empfiehlt vorsichtshalber das BIOS-Update für alle nachfolgend aufgeführten [...]
Today sees the second round of the green Super League and NVIDIA officially launches the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super in the form of the so-called MSRP cards with the help of its board partners (AIC). However, with a starting price of 889 euros (799 USD) as the MSRP, it is miles above the street price of the RTX 4070 Ti Non-Super, which starts at [...]
It’s fairly common for vulnerabilities to emerge in hardware components, and it usually affects a large number of people in the technology industry. A recent example is the recently disclosed Intel’s Downfall vulnerability, which compromised thousands of the company’s CPU users. This time, however, GPU users, regardless of [...]
After yesterday’s review of the GeForce RTX 4070 Super Founders Edition (and the other so-called MSRP cards without factory OC), today I have one of the cheaper OC cards for you in the form of the Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Super Jetstream OC, which has an RRP of 699 euros. Of course, I’m not going to repeat the whole thing about the AD104 [...]
Today it’s getting super again. NVIDIA is officially launching the GeForce RTX 4070 Super in the form of the so-called MSRP cards. With a starting price of USD 599 or an RRP of EUR 659, the new Super-Susi is not that far off the street price of the RTX 4070 Non-Super, which starts at just under EUR 600. Today’s test will have to prove [...]
Today in the afternoon, they start again, the exciting Super weeks of NVIDIA, and of course, I will fully report on each of the appointments again. Therefore, 3:00 PM is the new 6:00 AM. But why “Super”? In the wonderful, sometimes confusing world of computer hardware, the word “Super” has taken on a graphical, completely [...]
Last week, NVIDIA announced the release of the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER graphics card. The data sheet stated a 20% increase in core count compared to the RTX 4070, although the L2 cache was still stated as 36 MB. NVIDIA has now confirmed that the 36 MB figure was an error and has updated the product pages with the correct cache size of 48 MB, which [...]
It is well known that you can use tools such as MSI Afterburner to increase or decrease the maximum power consumption of a graphics card (within the specifications). In addition, the 12V-2×6 connection (formerly 12VHPWR) also offers different power levels. But what are the differences between the two options and what happens if you use both [...]
Today, an hour before midnight, I was able to free the GeForce RTX 4070 Super-Susi from its outer packaging in advance and with great publicity. The timing is, of course, reserved for my US colleagues, but a little hardware striptease at this time of night can never hurt, even if I don’t really like such unboxing events. But since half of [...]
