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 [...]
The Radeon RX 7600 XT is presented as AMD’s upcoming entry-level GPU, which is likely to be more powerful than originally assumed. The market launch is planned for January 24, 2024. Although there were hints in advance of two variations of the RX 7600 XT, each with 10 or 12 GB of GDDR6 video memory, in the end a doubling to 16 GB turned out [...]
Now it’s official: NVIDIA today announced the GeForce RTX 40 SUPER series at CES 2024 – including the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. This latest iteration of GPUs based on NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture delivers up to 52 shader TFLOPS, 121 RT-TFLOPS and 836 AI-TOPS to accelerate gaming [...]
The RADV Vulkan driver developed for AMD graphics cards has made significant progress recently, especially in terms of hardware support, continuous optimization and bug fixes. Until now, ray tracing on Linux has been held back due to a lack of “mature” drivers and software resources, but it seems that MESA has now created solutions [...]
Yesterday the benchmark results of the AMD Ryzen 5 8600G were already leaked and now the latest benchmarks of the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G have been revealed. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G will be the top of the line AM5 desktop APU within the Hawk Point family, offering the same combination of Zen 4 / RDNA 3 cores in a single monolithic package. The AMD Ryzen 7 [...]
It looks like AMD may be switching from using fish names for its products to using crystalline rock names. A shipping label recently posted by well-known hardware leaker Harukaze5179 suggests that AMD is using the new codename “Cuarzo” for its existing Navi 3X GPUs. According to reports, this label was found at the company’s [...]
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 SUPER GPUs are expected to use an extremely fast memory solution with pin speeds of 23 Gbps, as new specifications have been published that indicate exactly that. You can read the rest here, including the RTX 4090 Super, which will unfortunately remain a pipe dream for the time being. Last month, almost all the data on [...]
I had already written a very similar article almost a year ago about the binning of the GeForce RTX 4070 and the difference between MSRP and OC cards. However, the theoretical part on the second page was somewhat neglected, very wrongly in my opinion. The launch of the super cards is coming up soon and the question is always being asked as to how [...]
It is still unclear whether there will be a Founders Edition model for each of the three NVIDIA RTX 40 SUPER graphics cards. What can be confirmed, however, is that the board partners (AIC) are already working on developing their individual designs to be showcased on these GPUs. As expected, each AIC will offer a diverse selection of cards for [...]
Three new graphics cards based on the RDNA 3 GPU architecture have been discovered in the EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission) database: the Radeon RX 7800, RX 7700 and the RX 7600 XT. The entries come from a relatively small AIB based in the Asia-Pacific region called ARKTEK. However, ARKTEK does not currently produce cards based on the RDNA 3 [...]
Bluesky Frame Converter is an application that uses Windows DirectShow filters to convert video frame rates as needed. Frame converters are widely used in the media industry and are mainly used to adjust video frame rates so that they are compatible with different display or transmission standards. Bluesky works best with AMD’s GPU lineup [...]
So anyone who really believes that everything used to be cheaper is very much mistaken. Just compare salaries and prices! Computers are a luxury good. And gold-plated accessories are as old as the PC price list. But who am I telling? If you browse through yesterday’s advertisements today, it can make you feel really sick. But just before [...]
The upcoming version of HWiNFO has only two highlights, both of which focus on preliminary support for Intel’s next-gen GPU products. It was recently confirmed that Intel will launch its Battlemage GPUs in 2024, and now the first support for these next-gen chips has been added to HWiNFO. The support is split into two parts. First, there are [...]
Over a year ago, Intel introduced its first GPUs based on the Xe “Alchemist” core architecture. The first GPUs were introduced with the Arc A380 and gradually saw the release of higher level products such as the A770, A750 and the latest A750. The GPU architecture has also been adopted by several mobile chips and since its introduction [...]
Earlier this month, it was reported that NVIDIA was on track to launch its GeForce RTX 4090 D GPU in the near future. This product is officially designed as a China-exclusive variant to counteract the export restrictions imposed on the RTX 4090 and should not be released until next year. However, a recent report from Expreview suggests that the [...]
It seems like someone at European retailer ProShop is either too excited or got confused with the upcoming launch of the GeForce RTX 40 “SUPER”, as they have renamed all of their RTX 4090 offerings to RTX 4090 SUPER. The retailer offers several graphics cards, 24 variants in total, and has put the “SUPER” designation in [...]
Since AMD started offering its APUs with powerful integrated graphics, Intel has gradually lost its lead in the iGPU space. The Vega iGPU family had already cemented AMD’s grip on the market at the time, and with RDNA, the red team entered a whole new world of devices that provided mini PCs and handhelds with premium graphics performance [...]
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 16 series is the last vestige of the pre-RTX era, when all GPUs were marketed under the “GTX” series. It’s been more than a year since we’ve seen a new graphics card in this series and that was also a low-end design, namely the GeForce GTX 1630. But from the first quarter of 2024, the GeForce GTX 16 [...]
Intel has taken a significant step in its development with the new “Meteor Lake” CPU platform, marketed as “Core Ultra”. These processors are the first from Intel to use the “Intel 4” process, which is based on EUV lithography, and the first Intel client CPUs where parts of the SoC are manufactured by TSMC [...]
AMD and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora had a special relationship, as Team Red had previously worked with Ubisoft to develop specially designed graphics cards in conjunction with the game. In addition, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was one of the first titles to support AMD’s new FSR 3 upscaling technology, which also improves image generation [...]
