I admit it, this is more of a relaxation interlude today, because I’m still really exhausted from the analysis article, the most authentic translation possible and the two videos from the weekend. And no, we’re not getting any younger, just wiser. I hope so. And so I thought I’d simply give ChatGPT, the chief engineer, the task [...]
Today’s article is the result of several months of laboratory work, extensive measurement series, development work, and constant cross-checking. The matter of the 12-volt connectors is unfortunately so complex that I had to look for a new approach to complete the picture. And no, there isn’t THE one cause, but always a causal chain of [...]
The first tests on the performance of the AMD Radeon RX 7900M “Navi 31” GPU are now available and it beats the GeForce RTX 4080 laptop GPU, at least in 3DMark Time Spy. However, the AMD Radeon RX 7900M, the flagship of the RDNA 3 laptop GPUs, is only slightly faster than the RTX 4080 in the first 3DMark tests. The AMD Radeon RX 7900M [...]
I have prepared a very elaborate article for next Monday (06.11.2023) that reflects in detail on my work over the last 6 months on this seemingly never-ending topic. And I can already spoil the fact that the pieces of the puzzle that are still missing from my point of view and have probably finally been found now provide a much more complete [...]
AMD recently released the latest driver for Radeon, which includes support for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and AI acceleration for RDNA GPUs and APUs. The driver includes performance improvements and optimizations for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and DirectML. It is compatible with all RDNA GPUs and APUs, but not with older Polaris and [...]
It’s been a long time coming, but after a whole decade, Alan Wake has finally passed the torch to a worthy successor, since the remake doesn’t really cut the mustard. And now, drum roll please, he’s back in the saddle! Every newsroom is over the moon and singing the game’s praises. But to steer clear of the Alan Wake 2 hype [...]
Daily greets the Murlem animal: A new rumor about the specifications of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 40 GPUs has surfaced. Kopite7kimi has mentioned possible details about the three cards. However, it is important to note that these specifications are still subject to change as NVIDIA is known to test different configurations before making a final [...]
NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU appears to have early support from the popular HWiNFO diagnostic program. HWiNFO has now added support for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU, while at the same time rumors and leaks are increasing. That’s because reports of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 40 “SUPER” family of GPUs have [...]
Of course, we still remember the Radeon HD 6850, which was also slimmed down by AFOX. This time, the diet hits the new Radeon HD 7850, a card that virtually offers itself in terms of performance and waste heat. The first sample of this new card contained a rather unusual surprise, which we already presented in detail last week in the article [...]
The possible existence of an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU may have been confirmed by the PCI ID repository. TechpowerUp’s GPU database editor, T4CFantasy, has added new PCI IDs that could point to exactly this GPU variant. One of the new device IDs, “2703”, could refer to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, which has been the [...]
NVIDIA has released the first performance numbers for the upcoming game Alan Wake 2. The game will feature full path tracing and support for DLSS 3.5. An NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is expected to reach over 120 FPS at 4K, but only using the full feature set including Frame Generation. Alan Wake 2 is thus now one of two games to fully utilize [...]
NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU is rumored to have more memory than the original GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card. It is speculated that the RTX 4080 SUPER will come with 20GB of GDDR6X memory and will be available at the same price as the 4080. There are also hints that NVIDIA is planning different configurations, but only one of [...]
According to current rumors, NVIDIA is allegedly already preparing the launch of the GeForce RTX 40 SUPER GPU series. These rumors also suggest that the series will only include three different graphics cards: the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and RTX 4070 SUPER. The information comes from @hongxing2020, a well-known leaker who [...]
AMD has withdrawn support for Anti-Lag in all supported games due to reports of incidents and bans caused by anti-cheat software and game crashes. In their latest driver, Adrenalin 23.10.2, the Anti-Lag feature has been disabled. It was confirmed that Anti-Lag was the main reason for lockups in popular eSports titles like Counter-Strike 2. Other [...]
Is Intel possibly planning an update of its Arc Alchemist GPUs? For example, new PCI IDs were recently added to the current Linux driver, which could well indicate a future update. The current lineup includes five products: Arc A770, Arc A750, Arc A580, Arc A380 and Arc A310. All of these GPUs use the Alchemist GPU architecture (ACM-G10 / ACM-G11 [...]
A call for help from friends, a budget GPU is needed! Thanks to good experiences and with efficiency in mind, I recommended the RX 6600 with a clear conscience, but I didn’t count on Intel, because a B560 motherboard and a Rdeon RX 6600 are obviously not an ideal pair. Super-Susi rushed to the rescue and then saved the day among friends [...]
AMD has added a useful feature called “System Lag” in its latest driver that allows latency monitoring in games that support Anti-Lag technology. Radeon RX 7000 GPU owners can use this feature to determine their PC’s system lag, especially when Anti-Lag is enabled. Similar to NVIDIA’s PCL feature in the FrameView [...]
In the rapidly evolving field of graphics cards, AMD could take a big step forward by introducing a new Radeon RX 7600 XT graphics card with a more generous 16 GB of memory. This capacity would be double that of the current RX 7600 model. But the memory size alone is such a story in itself, because the memory interface does not grow with it. The [...]
Is there anything left to do? Intel continues its commitment to improving the gaming experience on its Arc GPUs rather unwaveringly with the release of the latest Game-On drivers. This latest update not only adds support for hotly anticipated titles like Forza Motorsport and Assassin’s Creed Mirage, but also brings significant other [...]
Nvidia’s RTX 5000 Ada, a professional graphics card for visualization applications, is now available. The card is equipped with Nvidia’s flagship GPU AD102, but in a much reduced configuration to lower the power consumption to 250 W. However, retailers are selling the card at inflated prices, if you can get it at all. These inflated [...]
