Meanwhile, NVIDIA is shipping PG137 engineering boards to development centers around the world. Apparently, one of the devices was discovered by a company that monitors shipping lists going to India. The GPU manufacturer has at least sent a few test boards to its local development center. The design of the PG137 board known as a potential TITAN [...]
After we last looked at two Ultrawide monitors, we now return to the 16:9 format. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ-W takes on the test marathon. Another ROG-branded gaming monitor as far as the eye can see. The monitor comes with a resolution of 2560 x 1440p and up to 170 Hz – on an IPS panel with RGB subpixel layout and 8-bit color depth. Even [...]
Colorful was the first to submit a factory overclocked RTX 4070 non-Ti graphics card to the GPU-Z validation database, which is presumably the source for this information. This could mean that the card is already running in the labs and is now being tested with non-standard clocks. Allegedly, the RTX 4070 has a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost [...]
Soon the Arc Control software, which is now integrated in the graphics drivers for all Arc Alchemist GPUs and Iris Xe graphics cards (although it is optional), will receive an overdue update. According to Linus Sebastian, the update will affect the software’s display. It will no longer be (just) an overlay, which was the main reason why the [...]
Today I’m testing the Alphacool Aurora Acryl GPX-N RTX 4090 FE Eisblock, the third water block for NVIDIA’s top-of-the-line model, and the picture is getting more and more solidified as to which cooler design is really good and usable. And this is where it gets really exciting: Alphacool’s cooler costs a whopping 90 to 100 Euros [...]
Rumor has it that the RTX 4090Ti/TITAN features a four-slot design, and the I/O bracket houses four stacked display connectors. This unusual construction would confirm that NVIDIA could have planned a vertical board layout here. According to the leaker, the card is an RTX 4090 Ti/TITAN, although the final name of the graphics card is not confirmed [...]
Reddit user xCuri0 reports that the AMD Polaris architecture is not compatible with the game Forspoken, which requires a higher version of the API functions. While the architecture supports the DirectX12 graphics API, Forspoken requires a higher feature level. The basic DX12 specification is supported by almost all graphics cards still in use [...]
A new article has been published on AMD’s community page that deals with the current Radeon RX 7000/6000 GPUs. In the current performance rankings, the latest RDNA3 GPUs naturally occupy the top places, but they are also a lot more expensive than their RDNA2 predecessors at the same time. Bearbeite die Übersetzung in Deutsch The chart shows [...]
By using the GPU to decompress game content, Microsoft’s DirectStorage technology can certainly improve load times. Could, at least in theory. Consequently, the more data that is then processed via the GPU, the more likely it is that gamers will notice a loss of graphics performance. The German PC Games Hardware team demonstrated just that [...]
To date, MaxSun has only launched one RTX 40 GPU, the RTX 4080 iCraft. The company’s RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 models have a lot more in common, as they both use a similar 3-slot design with 3 fans. But more importantly, they also have the same white cooler outfit. The iCraft MaxSun RTX 4070 Ti relies on the usual AD104 GPU with 7680 [...]
The Taiwanese company was in no hurry to introduce its latest WinFast model. The card follows the design of the RTX 4090/4080 variants, which also feature three fans with a large X-shaped cover. In terms of size, the RTX 4070 Ti is just as thick as the AD102/103-based models and requires 3.5 slots (68.3 mm). However, it is slightly shorter (~3 cm) [...]
We remember that NVIDIA launched an updated version of the RTX 3060 Ti model in October last year, but we haven’t seen a proper review of this card until now, probably because the availability of these cards was limited. Now the Polish ithardware site has the KFA2/GALAX RTX 3060 Ti G6X OC model available and has done a comparison with RTX [...]
AMD has released its latest Radeon Software 23.1.2 drivers, which only support the RX 7000 series and not previous generation cards. According to TechpowerUp, it has now been 48 days since the red team released a driver for its previous generation cards. The lack of updates for older AMD graphics cards, especially for the Radeon RX 6000 GPUs, is [...]
Youtubers Iskandar Souza and Paulo Gomes recently unveiled an investigation into third-party GPU vendors and resellers painting over certain areas of graphics cards to make them appear newer. The two accuse crypto miners of finding increasingly inventive ways to resell overused graphics cards for profit. Paint was discovered on GPUs sold by crypto [...]
Today we are going to round two with the EK Quantum Vector2 FE RTX 4090 D-RGB. A GeForce RTX 4090 FE is per se well cooled and the original cooler is actually also perfectly sufficient. So one would hardly have a valid reason as a buyer to disassemble and rebuild this collectible. Well, almost none, because the weight and space requirements of [...]
The fact that the MorePowerTool from Hellm and the Red BIOS Rebellion Team (R.B.R.T.) in the background for RDNA3 will no longer exist in the usual form has already been reported by some media, but somewhat unreflected and unfortunately with insufficient source information. It is important for us to note that the R.B.R.T is not a group of [...]
A range of Vega 20 models have been unveiled by AMD, including workstation, data center and even gaming cards. Probably the best known SKU is the Radeon VII, a high-end model with 3840 cores, 16 GB HBM2 memory and over 1 TB/s bandwidth. The company has also developed several other Radeon cards based on the Vega 20, such as the Radeon Pro VII, a [...]
According to the latest sales data from TechEpiphany, NVIDIA has already sold 545 models of the RTX 4070 Ti in the third week of January. This primarily includes all variants sold by the German retailer Mindfactory. This number is higher than the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090, which totaled 210 and 190 units, respectively…. The fact that so many RTX [...]
The first angled power adapters for RTX 40 GPUs are now commercially available and one user on Reddit has already purchased such a 12VHPWR adapter from modDIY and is already using it with his ASUS TUF RTX 4090. Of course, it solves the main problem with the original cable, namely the space required when bending. The adapter that is used now is [...]
After a longer abstinence here, at least with the articles, I am now back with a small Intel ARC special. The cards have a niche existence, which is on the one hand due to the rather poor availability, especially of custom models, but also due to the rather mixed tests of the cards after their release in November, where the cards showed weaknesses [...]
