Preface I published this article a little over 10 years ago and when I browsed the old content I also came across this entertaining treasure, which many certainly do not know anymore. Interestingly, for some time now, the contents of the German localization of Tom's hardware (tomshardware.de) in the so-called "Wayback Machine" are no [...]
After i created the launch article about AMD's new Radeon RX 5500 XT and also a first overclocking article with the MorePowerTool, I now dedicate myself with the intention of one of the slightly cheaper 8GB board partner cards, which it has already been doing for days now. just under 210 euros. This is still above the magic 200-euro limit, but [...]
Nvidia has announced PhysX 5.0 and will be available "pretty soon in 2020." According to the GeForce makers, this new version of the physics middleware SDK (which became available as open source about a year ago) introduces support for a 'Unified particle simulation framework'. Among the new features NVIDIA lists for PhysX 5.0 is [...]
It’s no secret that AMD’s Radeon RX 5500 XT is currently selling rather sluggishly, as the cards on offer are simply too expensive for what many customers are bidding. On average even slower than an old Radeon RX 590 as the last Polaris iteration, this card is nothing more than a much too expensive side-grade and actually only a [...]
In the meantime I have even been able to evaluate four RX 5500 XTs and push them to the limit, whereby the 2.1 GHz is a real limit for all of them. Sure, with the LN2 version of the MorePowerTool you would probably get over it, but at what price? Instead, all cards reacted well-behaved, stable and without artifacts to settings that are still close [...]
While everyone before this test had assumed that the new Radeon RX 5500 XT would be in a duel with Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1650 Super, the pricing of the last few weeks has already shown that Nvidia’s spies have changed the placement of their own super card in the end. The question as to whether AMD will measure up to the GeForce GTX 1650 [...]
Now you could post another 20 pages of photo of the successful assembly, but I think that the video format with the (sometimes time-lapsed) view of the construction realization gives more. The SL600M Black by Cooler Master is a thankful midi tower that offers some small innovation that goes beyond the mainstream. RGB can, but does not have to, and [...]
TechN who? TechN GmbH is an innovative start-up of technology-loving enthusiasts, sits in Berlin, manufactures everything from a single source and in-house – something like this still exists. In addition, Nvidia's 10 series was something of an insider tip for exclusive solutions. So in fact a small series manufacturer for initiates. Now [...]
Between all the workstation benchmarks, which are really real hour eaters every time, I thought what would happen if you let go of these bolides on Crysis from 2007. Is there finally something going on in Ultra-HD? Well, the whole thing is a little decadent, of course, but why not? DirectX10 is nams so long ago and what are 12 years in IT to [...]
What is the best way to test graphics cards in the workstation area? Of course with appropriate software and not just any dead-optimized synthetics. But it's not just the software that decides, but also the hardware. That's exactly where I started again and thought long beforehand. In the end, because the fastest CPU per thread is also [...]
Today we are testing a Palit GeForce RTX 2070 Super Jetstream, which should not be confused with the well-known RTX 2070 SuperJetsream. The poor manufacturer now suffers a little from Nvidia’s all-encompassing general super-super-supersification and many miserly bargains quickly turn out to be super-confusion. But since the long-established [...]
Gainward would like to prove to us that RTX is also cheap with the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Ghost. Today’s test will have to show us whether the concept of the very cost-effectively constructed card can work. The Nvidia-owned RTX alternatives without super in the appendix are slowly becoming rarer and those who buy new will probably have to [...]
Meanwhile, games like Call of Duty with Raytracing even run quite smoothly on the GeForce RTX 2060, if you don't overdo it with the settings. But what are the most favorable cards from Palit and Gainward really good in their performance class? Here in the lab, I tested a cheap Gainward RTX 2060 Ghost, a quiet Palit RTX 2070 Super Jetstream and [...]
Anyone who has followed igorsLAB closely over the last few months will certainly have noticed the heat conductive pads on which I have been weakening for a long time. At the latest since Nvidia’s memory fiasco with the RTX 2080 Ti, the more or less funny Space Invaders and the explanation search, we now also know what we can do to prevent [...]
All the confusion and confusion about the sudden appearance of the memory temperature value of AMD's current graphics cards is understandably causing uncertainty for many users. Modern memory chips, such as Microns GDDR6 modules allow the internal protection mechanisms (e.g. the down clock) reading the chip temperature Tjunction, which in [...]
All the errors and confusions about the suddenly occurring value of the memory temperatures of AMD’s current graphics cards understandably lead to uncertainty among many users. Modern memory chips, such as Micron’s GDDR6 modules, allow you to read out the value of the chip temperature Tjunction, which is read out internally for special [...]
The previous practice of real-time measurements (even over longer periods of time) only with the oscillographs is certainly not bad and it also allows deep insights into the switching behavior of graphics cards and CPUs due to the high resolution, but it is always only possible possible to capture a sub-area of the overall system. Interactions [...]
I just had to separate the tests because the MSI GTX 1660 Super Gaming X is different from the three "normal" test patterns. Apart from the price of 280 Euros, for which you can get a simple knitted and unsuperted Ti with more shaders, MSI has really cut the sandbox shovel and tried to bake the biggest cake. Then you have even 10 watts [...]
Nvidia becomes the new super-company and Master Jensen gallantly gives the Superman. Because from today it will be even more upand and in between. The Over-GeForce GTX 1660 Super, like its slower sister, is based on the TU116, more precisely the TU116-300, an already known graphics processor that supports Turing's improved shaders, new cache [...]
Sometimes you think you’re in the wrong movie and then you wonder what a minute’s life costs. Well, I could have guessed it and I was already on the right track on Sunday, but had discarded the right idea by wrong trust in the logic of the developers. The review of the three X570 motherboards had to be done without the Asus TUF Gaming [...]
