With the current Wattman from AMD’s driver, a lot of things (albeit with some errors in the GUI) work as intended and had. You can even expand it, even if AMD’s editor for the voltage/frequency curve as a “fused curve” seems a bit mysterious. This is exactly where the RTG comes in, and the very special thanks go to [...]
NVIDIA has now announced the new date for its failed online event as part of GTC 2020: the 14th. May 2020. The company also launched a pun that the audience should then become "GET AMPED", which seems to be a wink to the upcoming GPU architecture: Ampere. In March, the company was still trying to save the GTC 2020 in some way by not [...]
Digitimes, a reliable source, reported in a report that both AMD and Nvidia have bought all the excess capacity at TSMC, contrary to the current trend, by increasing their orders for next-generation GPUs and CPUs to the maximum. This is how you can see that TSMC in the 1st Half-year 2020 will achieve very strong results thanks to the sudden [...]
Well, you can think of the EEC as you want, because everyone can actually enter what they would like (e.g. alleged “Big Navi” models from AFOX, but from time to time the list can be a certain indicator if the entries don’t look too suspicious. Intel’s Ponte Vecchio GPU, which is scheduled for 2021, appears to be sending a [...]
On April 14, 2020 I had already teased the whole story about Minecraft for Windows 10 including RTX and explained the techniques behind it. That is why I am saving myself this new introduction and I prefer to get straight to the point. Minecraft RT, like Quake II RTX, relies on pathtracing of the complete image and that’s exactly what you [...]
The topic is plentiful complex and hot and ideally suited to provoke even neat emotions. I would therefore like to preface this article with a preliminary remark, which iamplease keep in mind during the reading. After all, I have thought for a long time whether and how what has accumulated here in my desk and in my head in recent years can be [...]
While it may have sunk a little, TSMC last month unveiled the world's largest chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS) interposer. With a bandwidth of 2.7 TBps, this chip now offers almost three times the performance compared to the previous generation, which is quite remarkable. In times of corona hysteria, one might now think that production would [...]
The subject is almost as old as lignite and I have not only written an article about it in recent years. However, the feedback of those who are looking for help and would like to see everything clearly summarized and updated again is piling up again. Of course, I will not close myself off from this and restructure the whole issue and also revise [...]
The KFA2 RTX 2060 Super EX 1-Click OC also shows that RTX is also cheap, after Gainward wanted to prove this to us with the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Ghost. Today’s, currently approx. 439 Euro expensive card from KFA2, costs exactly 20 euros more than the version without EX, which in turn costs only exactly as much as Gainward’s current [...]
I had already written an article about the announcement of DLSS 2.0 at the end of March and Deep Learning. DLSS 2.0 has been very positive in all four games in which it is available. In contrast, the first implementation of Deep Learning Super Sampling weakened a little and rather shines with very mixed results. This then ranged from crisp to [...]
Leaks are especially valuable when a board partner leaves things on their website that would have been better hidden. But that's exactly what happened on an AMD partner site, and the content found there is also some of the rumours from the head in relation to Big Navi. Because first of all there is the name: RX Gamma XT. My special thanks go [...]
Micron's latest earnings report also includes information that the company will soon begin production of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM2). Although it seems a little late for this, Micron's presence in the storage market is likely to leave a positive impression on the end customer. Micron announces that it is working with Samsung and SK Hynix [...]
Even if the GeForce GTX 1650 is pretty much down in the current pixel food chain and is unlikely to be the focus of ambitious players, the planned switch to GDDR6 is quite interesting. Because there is less reason for marketing. This card is not really under pressure in its segment and to push it closer to a super-superted GTX 1650 would actually [...]
Update from 26.03.2020 – 14:00 Did the hacker "palesa" possibly unmask himself? In a file, the name Manish Prashanth can be found in the code under the pseudonym "palesa". If you look curiously at LinkedIn, you will find a trained programmer of the same name: . Coincidence or stupidity? Thanks to Peter for pointing 🙂 [...]
Many colleagues, including my long-time friend Usman Pirzada of Wccftech, whose sources are usually quite valid, have long speculated (also together in chat) whether the next generation of consoles can now be taken as a real benchmark for the RDNA2 architecture that AMD will then launch as a Radeon graphics card, or not. And one of Usman's [...]
Nvidia today introduces DLSS 2.0, which will bring many interesting changes, significant quality and performance improvements. Even if we only had the verbal information and the corresponding slides available to us for today, the path that Nvidia has taken can be traced quite well. Tests must prove to what extent these very serious changes then [...]
Does anyone remember Palit's GTX 1550 Ti KalmX? I still had this card in the test for Tom's hardware at the time and the conclusion was rather mixed, because the card did not manage to survive even without any housing ventilation. The new GTX 1650 KalmX from Palit , I can spoil it before, manages this feat quite, albeit only in the second [...]
AMD has long seen itself as a strong proponent of next-generation graphics API technologies with low overhead such as Microsoft DirectX 12, which, for example, is take games to a whole new level. Now AMD is also saying that it will partner with Microsoft to offer full support for DirectX 12 Ultimate in the upcoming AMD RDNA 2 gaming architecture [...]
Actually, Nvidia has a good laugh, because what Microsoft releases today as DXR 1.1 (DirectX Ray Tracing) makes at least this part the quasi-standard for PCs and consoles to the same extent. None of this is surprisingly new now, given that at the end of October last year you had a post called "Dev Preview of New DirectX 12 Features" on [...]
There is work like a string and if there are no new graphics chips in sight, then you are all the more happy about exotic and unusual graphic solutions away from the usual bling bling mainstream! This is what happened with the KalmX from Palit, where the successor to the GTX 1050 Ti KalmX is hardly more expensive, but much faster. Whether this [...]
