If you're wondering why we're only now bringing this article to Battlefield V, be reassured - I didn't like the whole hickhack about patches and drivers personally. Especially since the almost completed first article actually became a waste overnight, just because the patch was in the house. So it was again said to get everything back [...]
Some of them can hardly save themselves from the snow, with us this week for once it is graphics cards. So at the end a lot of colorful instead of white pixels and the whole thing stays rather hot and dry, instead of wet and cold. The first is two cards from MSI, for which you should always expect two to three days to test. A preview...
No information is also information and that is why I tried to find out more about possible board partner designs of AMD's Radeon Vega VII from three board partners (one of them AMD-exclusive). To sum it up briefly and to put it in the words of a good Taiwanese acquaintance, "You can't leak anything that doesn't exist."
What lasts for a long time must probably just be good. After a long wait, the time has finally come and the Aqua Computer kryographics NEXT 2080 Ti, announced at the end of 2018, completed my test run at the weekend and passed with flying colours. Without wanting to spoil: the patience was really worth it! Even if a few trivialities still signal a [...]
I took a closer look at the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio and found that it is a bit different from the larger map in the board and also in the cooler. This doesn't even have to be a disadvantage in terms of performance and cooling, if you just do it smartly enough. But for that I have the test and colorful enough the map is always...
Whether Jen-Hsun "Jensen" Huang (CEO Nvidia) is really related to Lisa Su (CEO AMD) and is something of a kind of (big) uncle, as often and gladly collated, but is always disputed by her ("It's not true"), or not - Vega VII provides a lot after yesterday's launch Vortex. Visual, mental and verbal. Whether it's the [...]
Today, we're clarifying what's behind Nvidia's announcement that adaptive sync procedures will open up, which krietria need to be fulfilled, and what it all means for desktop monitors and notebooks. Many details are also not to be found in the official statements. That's why we summarized all this as an FAQ in a guide once...
The GeForce RTX 2060 might well be a good way to change negative opinions about the P/L ratio of Turing cards. With the EIA, it is even lower than the starting price of the GeForce GTX 1070 at that time and yet it is faster than a GTX 1070 Ti. It is more likely to reach the GeForce GTX 1080. We have already been able to test this map in large [...]
The keynote of Jen-Hsun "Jensen" Huang, the CEO of Nvidia (shown as a live stream on Twitch) has now officially confirmed it: the GeForce RTX 2060 will be "mass compatible" from 15.01.2019, because with an EIA of 349 USD and the game bundle with Anthem (DLSS) respectively. Battlefield V (DXR, DLSS) Nvidia now wants to put the [...]
Update: The fact that the launch of the GeForce RTX 2060 is scheduled to take place on 07.01.2019 just before CES 2019 can be assumed to be assured, even if the real availability will probably not take place until 15.01.2019. The already colported GTX 1660 Ti, on the other hand, is only to be launched after CNY, i.e. at the beginning of February [...]
In the last few days it was already rushing in the leaf forest, and so much information or many rumours have already been chewed extensively before, again and back. Apart from the fact that I can also confirm one of them, there are of course other things from the technical field that should be quite interesting, because you could not read them in [...]
With the Radeon Pro WX 8200, AMD is pushing a new workstation graphics card with Vega56, which is located below the Radeon Pro WX 9100 and Frontier Edition (both Vega64). But I not only set the map, but also disassembled it and measured a lot in the lab. With very interesting insights!
With the Watercool Heatkiller IV for RTX 2080 Ti I would like to introduce the third fullcover water block in detail, which has to face my stress test honestly. The fact that the test sample only came now is mainly due to the high demand and the fact that the parts were always sold out as a result. But at some point almost every part ends up here [...]
The firmware of the last generations of Nvidia is relatively easy to read (not only) in terms of expected power consumption and power limits with Nvidia's NVSMI tool. This is nothing new in itself, but I have written a 1-click batch file for the more inexperienced readers, which makes the tedious hanging through the directories obsololet.
The opposite of expensive does not always have to be cheap. In fact, it would also be inexpensive. This is exactly what KFA2 must have thought when the GeForce RTX 2070 EX was designed. Many things were taken over here from the larger KFA2 cards and also the cooler has a decent portiönchen hip bacon, so that nothing burns. I take a closer look at [...]
One finds again and again possibilities to further improve a product that is good in itself and to punish the supposed greed of the accountants with only a few cents of material use nonchalantly. Far more than 90°C below the memory you don't have to find really nice now, but why did the dear Lord God create the so-called thermal guide pads [...]
You know and hate it, the beloved moment when a power supply suddenly switches off in the middle of the game, even though it is new and shows no other abnormalities. The annoyance of the users becomes even greater if one believes that the power supply size has also been calculated correctly. But is that enough for the manufacturers of graphics [...]
I had already teased this follow-up in the launch article for the Radeon RX 590 and thus also promised the readers, only such a cluster of never-ending measuring series then takes a little longer than expected. After a few hours, I stopped counting how many times I was subvolting towards the desktop or the Back/Greyscreen i crashed. But in the end [...]
First of all, I would like to put two important things before this test report. First, such things that we will do below are certainly not prohibited on the finished product, but anything that goes beyond simply reading and writing the BIOS data is already in the grey area between healthy play instinct and reverse engineering. And it is also quite [...]
Division of labour is a nice thing, especially when your system has to be "persuaded" manually for the 1809 update of Windows and you are unfortunately not one of those who have been pampered with pre-keys. But better late than never and together with colleagues, working and playing is twice as much fun. This is written by someone who [...]
