The Predator BiFrost A770 is a unique custom build from the Acer team that just entered the DIY market with their first Intel Arc Alchemist GPUs. This special edition Acer model is actually one of the few A770s to offer 16GB of VRAM, a feature that comes standard on Intel’s own Limited Edition (reference design). The Predator model features [...]
The problem that low-end SKUs are outshone by flagship SKUs at similar power consumption above a certain range because they have more power reserves is generally known and documented. This became a real issue two GeForce generations ago, forcing NVIDIA and laptop manufacturers to disclose more information about the TBP (Total Board Power) of each [...]
This is the first update for the NVIDIA SDK since version 2.4.0 was released in March 2022. It includes some new features and an updated guide for developers who want to enable DLSS in their games. The NVIDIA DLSS development team has provided new samples for Linux and Windows applications, as well as a new precompiled DLSS library that can now be [...]
It is no secret that cards with power dissipations below the 100-watt limit can already be cooled well passively. If you then move close to the 50 watt limit, things get really interesting. No matter if in a free setup or in a tight case, this small amount of waste heat should actually be manageable with aplomb. That’s exactly what I wrote [...]
An interesting video comparison between two graphics cards under $250, the Intel Arc A750 and AMD’s Radeon RX 6600 non-XT, has been published by Techtesters. Neither variant is a high-end gaming card, of course, but for many gamers out there, it’s still a decent option. With the recently announced price reduction for the Arc A750 to [...]
Introduced by NVIDIA at CES 2023, RTX Super Video Resolution technology improves video quality by artificially upscaling content to a higher resolution. This feature will be available on the latest RTX 30 and 40 GPUs in February, with RTX 20-series support coming later. Google released the Chrome 110 web browser this week, which already supports [...]
The RX 7900 XT Sakura is the latest model from the Chinese company Yeston. The model line is a continuation of the brand, which is now firmly established in Asia, with anime-inspired characters and colorful and completely individual designs. You can like that, but you don’t have to. And so it also has a little bit of a unicorn character [...]
PowerColor’s official website has now confirmed the design of the new card and some basic facts, but so far without more detailed specifications. This is PowerColor’s first and so far only Radeon RX 7000 GPU designed for liquid cooling. The Liquid Devil does not have a hybrid cooler, but relies on an EK-designed water block. Therefore [...]
How to get the bow elegantly with the fat cable on the much too small plug has already been discussed long and wide. And as an outsider, you can criticize all sorts of things and conveniently blame the user, but that doesn’t solve the actual problem. It’s no secret that CableMod now offers suitable angle adapters for all installation [...]
The GAMING CLASSIC is a sub-variant of the GAMING series for Radeon 7900 GPUs. But there is also a SUPRIM model for the RTX 4090 series. The commonality of both cards is the fact that they use a last-generation cooling solution, possibly in the hope of saving money. The SUPRIM Classic has just been officially launched in China. The amazing thing [...]

Presumably, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 GPU with AD106 GPU offers almost the performance of a 3070 Ti with 26% lower power consumption. The name of this particular GeForce RTX 40 GPU hasn’t been decided yet, according to Chiphell, but it features the full AD106 GPU die with 4608 CUDA cores and 8 GB of memory, which means it should offer a 128 [...]

The company has already launched several “LD” models with pre-installed water block, and each time they were equipped by EK Water Blocks. It is confirmed that the new iteration will also be equipped with EK Waterblocks, and it will feature similar [...]
As Frank Azor (Chief Architect of Gaming Solutions at AMD) confirmed today, AMD will release a (long-awaited) new driver for the Radeon 6000 series (and older models) within 2 weeks. It will be the first release in more than 2 months. AMD’s software team has focused on the Radeon RX 7000 series since the introduction of the new desktop RDNA3 [...]
MLID has obtained two photos of said new GPUs, those of the AD106 and AD107 for mobile devices to be exact. These will launch as the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060/4050 series, respectively, by the end of this month. Undoubtedly, these are small processors, even smaller than those of the last generation. The GA106 measures 276 mm² and is replaced by a 190 [...]

Nevertheless, some preliminary results on the Bilibili platform with the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS processor, codenamed Phoenix, have now been published. This processor type features the latest AMD architectures like the Zen4 CPU with 8 cores and RDNA3 for graphics [...]
Thanks EA for bringing up, dusting off and polishing up a classic that was once THE game par excellence for me, because Dead Space already captivated me almost 15 years ago! In the truest sense of the word, because I sunk a lot of wonderful hours into it and was virtually mentally tied to the chair. And this enormous time span is of course also [...]
According to the rumors, Intel will now offer two display options for its Arc Control software. Namely, the overlay mode can be disabled and changed to a standalone desktop mode, which means that the application will be displayed like any other Windows software.Instead, users can now choose between overlay and desktop mode, or alternatively [...]
Intel lowers the price of the A750 GPU to $249 in the US, which is $30 less than at launch. The reduced price is supposed to apply worldwide, but Intel does not share prices for other regions. So Intel has announced the improvements to its new "4086" driver (although the latest driver is 4091). It is said to deliver 10% to 77% more [...]
