Well, that sounds more dramatic than it might be, although… The devil is in the test setup as usual. The MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio (OC), MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio (OC) and MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio (OC) are tested on two different high-end systems. Of course @stock and with a maximum OC, which can be added under [...]
For the launch of the board partner designs of the smaller ampere cards with the GA 104 I have today the MSI RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio 8GB at my disposal, which MSI also offers with a RRP of 559 Euro incl. VAT. prices. But what the trade will then really approve of will probably also depend on the availability and range of competing graphics cards [...]
I certainly hadn’t promised you too much – autumn (and winter) will be hot, even at the power outlet. The current presentation is finished and I have summarized the most important slides as a gallery for you. Since AMD unfortunately only provided some hand-picked media with material, this must now be done retrospectively, so I ask for [...]
Oops, I did it again… Okay, I’m not blonde and I don’t jump around the universe like a ball lightning on ecstasy, but sometimes you wonder what’s being packed together in the individual factories. Good for those who have enough pad reserves. Shall we try again? Which means that the card literally screams for it. But [...]
With today’s release of the GeForce RTX 3070 FE (Founders Edition), NVIDIA is simultaneously introducing a smaller chip, the GA104, which is smaller in area and therefore brings all the known advantages. Higher yield rate and thus better availability, improved efficiency and somewhat cheaper to produce. To what extent the GeForce RTX 3070 FE [...]
Our community member Gurdi was able to get hold of several GeForce RTX 3090s (F5 skills!) just in time for the launch and was also kind enough to invest some time to provide you with new knowledge about this map. Among other things, he devoted himself to the question of whether and how this new card could be overclocked. Many have asked themselves [...]
It’s nice to see that NVIDIA seems to be actively involved in this, or that you’ve reported on your reading of the catchy social media content, because the hotspot that I found in the launch article about the graphics card, I discussed again later: GDDR6X at its limit? Over 100 degrees measured in the chip with the GeForce RTX 3080 FE [...]
As always, you have to be careful with such benchmarks, even if the material I received yesterday seems quite plausible. Two sources, very different approaches or settings and yet in the end a certain coverage of the results – one can at least already see a certain trend. The most plausible results for me come from an Ultra-HD run [...]
The large RX 6900XT will be AMD exclusive according to AMD’s own statements (“This card will be (for now) AMD exclusive. The Radeon RX 6900XT will be the AMD flagship series, which according to our sources will be in limited quantity”) probably first an item for the gallery, just like the Titan RTX. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which [...]
I don’t really need to comment on the following document, because it really speaks for itself. In fact, everyone involved is happy to see a huge demand, but when things turn out the way NVIDIA does, the anticipation and hype quickly turns into disappointment and even anger. But that’s exactly what AMD wants to avoid, because there are [...]
During the last days a lot of leaking has already taken place, nevertheless I have deliberately held back in order to be able to obtain more information in detail and above all to be able to verify it. I had to learn from my own information about Ampere often enough that most of the news of other media, based on it, were then unfortunately [...]
With the Palit GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Pro, Palit’s “butter-and-bread” Ampere card has also been in the trade since the launch, or rather should be. The manufacturer is not responsible for the availability. In contrast to the slim Founders Edition, Palit has opted for the more bulky 2.5-slot design and is putting a card on the [...]
With the Alphacool GPU water block Aurora Plexi GPX-N RTX 3090/3080 I want to start the new round of GPU water blocks, but this time for Ampere and not Turing. A water cooling system makes sense with power losses of over 300 watts and creates real added value. Let’s start now with the Alphacool product, which was the first model available to [...]
You already know the first article, but of course you can read it again here: “GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 Undervolting – When Reason and Experimentation Meet NVIDIA Ampere“. Due to the demand I have pressed the whole thing once again in tables, so that you have summarized everything clearly at a glance. In order to make all of this [...]
Do you remember the SKU20 that I reported on months ago? By now it should be certain that exactly this card will reach the end customer market. The chip will remain identical to that of the GeForce RTX 3080, but the card itself will have twice the memory capacity of 20 GB. According to what videocardz.com and an own source report, the launch of [...]
Hi everyone, in our forums, questions such as “why is my graphics card getting so hot” are often answered with a hint towards FPS limiters. But it happened only recently that NVIDIA has finally packed this function into their own driver. Time for dedicated article on this topic from a gaming laptop brand’s point of view. But [...]
Even if the GeForce RTX 3080 is generally only available in smaller quantities at the market, I want to offer nevertheless briefly from the market start of the KFA2 RTX 3080 SG still a suitable test of this Custom solution. In contrast to the rather narrow Founders Edition, KFA2 relies on the well-known 2.5-slot design and puts a card on the [...]
Our community member Gurdi was able to get his hands on a GeForce RTX 3080 just in time for the launch and was kind enough to invest some time to provide you with new insights around this card. Among other things, he also addressed the question of whether and how this new card could be made a little more economical and efficient. This is exactly [...]
What does the National Day of the People’s Republic of China have to do with the postponed launch of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3070? The question should probably be asked by those who had planned the launch of exactly this graphics card on 15.10.2020. Officially, this national holiday runs from 01.10.2020 to 07.10.2020, whereby this year it [...]
Mafia was my favorite for long evenings (and sometimes nights) for 18 years. So a new edition should be quite difficult in direct comparison. But for Mafia Definitive Edition, the actual gameplay would (thank God) not change much. Much of what is new can be deselected or adapted to the old feeling to some extent. The look, on the other hand, has [...]
