While cleaning up in the storage, I found a virtually unused Raijintek Morpheus prototype that was supposed to clarify the difference between copper and aluminum heatsinks on RAM and VRM ages ago. Fittingly, the GeForce RTX 3080 reference board is also on the shelf of good deeds in the test lab, including a universal backplate that could be [...]
To put it briefly: vigilance and secrecy meet industrial mass production and the technical preparations for it. It’s not like I don’t have any information at all that I could post in any form and with the necessary sense of responsibility, but you have to clearly separate between two things here. At the beginning, there is the [...]

Alphacool has given the Aurora Acryl GPX-A Eisblock a complete redesign, promising better flow and lower temperatures across the block. So why not test the 2022 version together with a Sapphire RX 6950XT Nitro+ Pure, which was already disassembled in the 3D scanner anyway? Of course, I don’t want to spoil anything, but the temperatures as [...]
Better late than never, or what was that? Yes, unfortunately I am late with today’s topic, because the launch of AMD’s FSR 2.0 was already on 12.05.2022. At that time I was traveling abroad on business and therefore could not do any tests. Probably many of you have already dealt with the topic on various YouTube channels or other sites [...]

With the three new cards presented today, the Radeon RX 6950 XT, RX 6750 XT and RX 6650 XT, AMD wants to orientate itself even further towards the performance top, but somehow also misses the signs of the times a little bit because of all the eagerness and exuberance. After all, we know that all manufacturers only boil with water, and if you put [...]
As various sources told me (some of them quite annoyed), the release of the already so often announced Alchemist desktop graphics cards could be postponed even further towards late summer. A somewhat vague period is mentioned here, which extends from July 1, 2022 to August 31, 2022. Why one is then already more than half a year behind schedule can [...]
Graphics cards were in short supply, so of course you look for ways and means to somehow import such a rarity yourself. If you always wanted to be different, because you don’t only want to consume the German market’s standard mush, you’ll also find it in Asia, e.g. with such a Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 3050 8GB tested today. Of [...]

What actually happens when you forcefully and cunningly slow down a GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, which swallows up to 500 watts in ultra HD, to 300 watts? With only 60% of the consumed power, the question arises how many percentage points of performance are lost when 40 percentage points less energy is needed. Where does it place its self in the end as [...]
The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti PCBs are NOT compatible with the AD102 “Ada”, I would like to preface this here. But how can one come to this hasty conclusion? After I wrote a news about the pin compatibility between the GA102 and the AD102, there was speculation if we are already seeing the next generation design on the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti [...]
Once again, I will try to extrapolate the power consumption of individual components to be able to conclude the power consumption of the GPU. I was almost right on the money with Turing and also this time the board design, if it will really come like this, does not pose any riddles. It is possible to derive quite interesting details based on the [...]

Is the 600 watts really the upper end or where are the tolerance ranges for exceeding the standards for a short bursts? And why does the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti suddenly show a completely different behavior under full load? I will answer exactly these questions today, because the review of the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti has (probably not only) made me [...]
Actually, everyone had already checked off the Ampere generation, but then came CES 2022 and Jensen with the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. One can really argue about the sense or nonsense of this card in the full version of the GA102 and the high-energy implementation, but it exists and would like to be tested and evaluated. And while we are at it, this [...]

One or the other detail has already been leaked about Ada (Lovelace) and the upcoming graphics cards with the AD102 core and up to 600 watts TBP. Today, another interesting piece of the puzzle is surely added with the expected reference board, the planned coolers and the RAM configuration. I recently received a picture from my own Chinese sources [...]
Due to the great response to our article "On the hard BIOS-Tour: manual EEPROM flash of a GeForce RTX to bypass the lock with the hardware ID at NVflash", in which we were already able to clarify what Nvidia does not give us this time, our author lays again and even put himself in front of the camera! And it doesn't always have to [...]
