The Folding@home project has been using the computing power voluntarily provided by users for years for simulations that help to develop drugs. For current reasons, it has been decided to use computing power for research into the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus in order to search for a cure or a vaccine for the COVID19 disease caused by the virus. If you [...]
After 10 workstation graphics cards tested, I prepared a whopping 64 different chart graphics and invested almost 200 hours of pure benchmark time without assemling and software configuration. Of course, various cards are still missing, especially since AMD unfortunately does not show too much zeal in the sampling. I also have models in the test [...]
According to wccftech.com, the first AMD Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' desktop CPUs are obviously already in circulation and one of these copies has now been discovered by the hardware supplier _Rogame. The Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' CPUs (essentially an APU) are based on the 7 nm architecture and are equipped with the new Zen 2 CPU and improved [...]
Who measures a lot measures crap. This rule applies as long as one does not actively deal with the circumstances and requirements and is not prepared to invest a lot – mostly private – time in its exploration. I started working more intensively on the power consumption of graphics cards in 2014 and to find a really good solution. In [...]
There are now GPU water blocks like sand by the sea. To then fish out exactly that one grain, which still offers an informative added value, because it e.g. is also completely different in design, naturally becomes heavier with time (and the increasing amount of products). You're looking forward to it like a little snow king, when you happen [...]
Everybody can cool with air and honestly: the adrenaline rush when you take apart and rebuild a card that costs several thousand euros is not to be despised. But the basic idea behind the whole water action is actually quite simple. How much more clocks and thus also performance can be squeezed out of a Quadro RTX 6000 by the better cooling alone [...]
Sometimes the number of reviews varies noticeably, but this is not because I might want to write something or have my face tanned by the video lamps. No, it is the work "besides" that nobody sees, but which is necessary for the creation of many articles and if it is basic study on the subject. Because you should only write about things [...]
NVIDIA is on the verge of launching its new GeForce RTX SUPER mobile GPUs, which improve specifications and improve performance compared to existing GeForce RTX mobile GPUs. It looks like PCGamesN has got an internal slide in hand that shows up to 50% better performance of each SUPER variant compared to the older non-SUPER siblings. The Turing [...]
Until now, the popular GPU cooler could only be mounted obliquely or not at all on a GeForce RTX 2080 (Ti), RTX 2080 Super or RTX 2070 Super, as the two Bracktes did not contain any really suitable threaded holes. However, as demand piled up and there are enough cards with less powerful coolers on the market, the question of a conversion was [...]
The coronavirus is not only beginning to take an impact on the technical world slowly, but is becoming more and more rapid, as shown by the fact that several important events have either been cancelled or postponed at least to later dates due to health concerns. NVIDIA, which now plans to host the largest annual graphics event, the GTC 2020, has [...]
Two new nvidia graphics cards have appeared in the Geekbench. The still unnamed cards reach a significantly higher score than the currently fastest Turing cards. The larger of the two GPUs obviously houses 7552 CUDA cores, 118 SMs and 24GB VRAM. It remains unclear whether this is a full expansion – the speculatius probably assumes a full [...]
The speculations about Nvidia's next generation of graphics cards do not abate and some people like to put their very own speculative on the frog-green biscuit stack every day. For once, I want to take part in this today and gather a little bit of what I have noticed in the last few days. And it's more and more like the whole Turing story [...]
Normally, KFA2 positions itself with the cards of the respective performance classes rather in the most favorable range and thus shows some Pixel pharmacists the cold shoulder and where it can go long in the customer search, because many of these models have been among the absolute price/performance winners for years. But Asia is now ticking quite [...]
Of course, it would be pointless to take out the usual large speculum and nibble at it with relish, but in contrast to pure speculation and rumours, there are also unmistakable and tangible signs that indicate a significant increase in performance (and thus also a higher data rate and density). I’ve been asking around a bit with the board [...]
In the summer of 2017, AMD introduced the GCN 5 alias “Vega” graphics cards, which, after some delay, were finally intended to knock Nvidia’s fast and economical Pascal cards off the throne. Despite the nearly 500 mm2 chip and a 2048-bit wide HBM2 memory interface, the attack failed miserably. The cards were very power-hungry and [...]
To understand the meaning of it all, you should read my article "Radeon RX 5600 XT with new BIOS and stable RAM without Flash! AMD Limits and Benchmark". Because there I describe very precisely how AMD with the new BIOS actually presses the entire overclocking margin of the card into the factory settings in order to be able to offer the [...]
