Update Since there were explicit questions in the forum regarding the chip prices, I would like to publicly post an update in the article to save redundant discussions. For certain reasons, I cannot disclose all prices, but I can clarify that the statements of the retailer quoted in the news definitely do not correspond to reality. The basis for [...]
Palit goes its own way with the new Palit RTX 3080 Ti GameRock 12GB in terms of looks. Whether the RGB disco lighting on the front, which is based on an ice shell (crystal design), is really to everyone’s liking, remains to be seen. But it’s a very eye-catching design that polarizes. That in itself is a right to exist. The only [...]
It all could have been so beautiful. Temperatures go up and GPU prices go down, new infections go down and GPU unit sales go up. That this is unfortunately not the case is shown by the latest developments with the board partners, where renewed delivery bottlenecks even lead to distribution struggles and conflicts within the company networks. Since [...]
Since I am asked again and again which programs I use for the collection and analysis of my benchmark data and I also attach great importance to transparency, I have now sat down again and completely rewritten an article that I wrote in 2016, so already 5 years ago for Tom’s Hardware. Because not only has much changed for the better in terms [...]
Except for a recent announcement and a first launch, it has been very quiet around AMD’s Radeon Pro portfolio of professional workstations for quite some time, which also rely on certified drivers and ECC-RAM, because especially in the professional environment such standards have to be met. While NVIDIA has been left almost without a fight [...]
Things are starting to get interesting, as AMD’s portfolio of real-world graphics chips is also expected to grow again soon. During the digital Computex 2021 AMD already presented its new lineup of mobile graphics cards based on the current Navi GPUs. The three graphics cards announced there were the Radeon RX 6800M as the top dog, the RX [...]
Already at the launch of NVIDIA’s Ampere graphics cards, this feature was the talk of the town and subsequently on the wish list of those who want to move large amounts of data directly and without the tedious detour via the CPU. The DirectStorage function was promised for Windows 10, but is now only available from version 11. In the [...]
Meanwhile, the partial ban on crypto mining in China has led to a massive drop in the price of graphics cards, and not just in Asia. While the RTX 3060 still cost well over 1000 US dollars in the end customer market in China in May, the AIC are now already supplying this card to the larger buyers again in part for well under 500 US dollars, which [...]
Today, finally, the showdown over the best AI-based upscaling begins and AMD’s official FSR driver, Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 21.6.1, is now available for download. The driver enables support for the highly anticipated feature in select titles, as reported in the relevant media last week. The driver has been highly anticipated as it now [...]
Just in time for the start of AMD’s – long planned – counter-attack to DLSS, Nvidia is already countering preemptively. Expanding the usability of DLSS is likely to excite RTX graphics card owners. And for those who haven’t read it yet, here’s the link again to DLSS 2.0 and the appropriate explanation of Basic. Since [...]
The fact that China’s most important container ports are only operating at half power and that we are probably heading for the next global supply disaster is extremely worrying, but it is not even the reason for the component problem discussed here in the second part. But first let us come to the general situation. Due to a recent outbreak [...]
I recently introduced you to the hardware brokers and published some internal prices of the “grey” market. Because we now also know where the stocks come from, when for example even the official distributors of the graphics card manufacturers wave off and lie dry. Because, as we now know, there is a kind of parallel universe of the [...]
Even if many people don’t want to read it, today I have a board partner card from AMD in the form of the Powercolor Radeon RX 6700XT for you in a single test. What makes the card so special is its white PCB and all-white cover including white LED lighting. Since the whole thing stands out a bit more from the crowd, I just got myself this [...]
What lasts long – usually becomes good. However, I took extra time for today’s test with the question “NVIDIA NULL and Reflex vs. AMD Anti-Lag and Radeon Boost, which works better?”. For some time now I have been writing about the topic of latencies and there have been a few articles from me on this topic. In particular, we [...]
After I have now already received the second tip about fake webseites with our content, which also led to the loss of various wallets and thus also the cryptocurrencies contained therein, I have not been idle in the meantime. Unfortunately, this time any cooperation ended at the Russian border and so I finally have to go the way of the public to [...]
Alphacool vs. aquacomputer? Once again, today we have a reader review by Elmo from our community that addresses this very issue of GPU water blocks. Since I find the test, the methodology and also the used technique extremely exciting, I have summarized the whole thing as a real article and with the author’s consent also slightly changed so [...]
Not only Asian media like ITHome speculate that NVIDIA will discontinue the Turing graphics cards in the form of the GeForce RTX 2060 or GTX 16xx series, which were relaunched earlier this year as a gap filler, in the foreseeable future. If you ask various board partners about their forecasts and the current delivery situation, it becomes clear [...]
For the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FE (Founders Edition) unveiled today, NVIDIA uses the full GA104.1 In contrast to the GA102, a smaller chip like the GA104 usually promises higher yield and thus better availability, improved efficiency and cheaper production. So much for the theory. Except that this often clashes with practice. Because the question [...]
Today’s article comes a little later, at exactly 3:00 pm. Well, I’m sure you know what and why so late. There will also be 12 pages again with over 500 graphics, so the usual. Then, of course, they get naked, measure everything exactly and philosophize about sense or nonsense. I don’t want to and I’m not allowed to spoil [...]
It was very quiet around AMD’s Radeon Pro portfolio of professional workstations for quite some time, which also rely on certified drivers and ECC-RAM, because especially in the professional environment such standards have to be met. While NVIDIA has been left almost without a fight for months, the three new graphics solutions presented [...]
