Apparently, AMD is not willing to wait for the successful implementation of the next generation RDNA 4 GPU in Linux. The company has recently released new patches that provide initial support for the architecture’s PSP (Platform Security Processor). PSP, which stands for “Platform Security Processor”, is a special security chip [...]
AMD’s Anti-Lag technology is AMD’s answer to NVIDIA’s Reflex. Both technologies aim to reduce input lag and improve system latency. These features are especially important when playing games with frame generation technologies such as AMD FSR 3 and NVIDIA DLSS 3. AMD’s solution offers easy activation in supported games as [...]
Today’s article comes from our community member big-maec and it shows how the community is also keen to experiment with various pads. The article will also show that sometimes it takes a little more work to really fix a problem permanently. The user’s problem child this time was the Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Ultra W OC 8G with [...]
It is common practice to migrate codebases from one project or programming language to another, as this allows developers to access a wider range of features and simplifies maintenance. In this case, however, there is an interesting development as Team Red has apparently accelerated its efforts to port the CUDA platform to run on AMD’s ROCm [...]
Some things are accidental discoveries and are actually so trivial that nobody even bothers to question the current flows in the PC and, above all, to measure them. We only ever measure the 12-volt rails and are happy. But with connectors such as the 12VHPWR or 12V2x6 over 6+2 pin, the 8-pin EPS and the 24-pin mainboard connection, does exactly [...]
LG’s roadmap has enormous significance for the display industry, as the company has a significant influence on market trends. In 2024, LG plans to drive the markets forward with the refinement of existing technologies and the introduction of new customized solutions for specific target groups. The company intends to add WOLED panels as well [...]
Xiaomi may not have made much progress in the PC industry, but it remains committed to the sector. A notable example of this is the launch of a “decent” AMD Ryzen “Phoenix” APU laptop with amazing capabilities. In addition, the company has unveiled the new Redmi G Pro gaming monitor, which, at least on paper, seems to be a [...]
The ASUS ROG series enjoys great popularity due to its performance, appealing design and user-oriented features. The new ROG STRIX XG259QNS is no exception and is aimed at “hardcore gamers” who want to maximize their in-game performance by using the equipment they already have. The XG259QNS features a 24.5-inch “Fast IPS” [...]
I’ve been officially testing monitors at Igor’sLab for almost two years now. I started out quite rudimentary with a very cheap colorimeter, the SpyderX and a mixture of DisplayCal and the SpyderX software. Everyone starts small, of course. The whole thing then developed quite quickly and we gradually upgraded and managed to get [...]
In the absence of genuine AAA titles, I’ve tried squeezing some form of light relief into my stressful daily grind amidst stacks of graphics cards and other power-hungry gadgets. “RoboCop: Rogue City”, the latest endeavor meant to overshadow the golden days of PC gaming, turns out to be more shadow than entertaining enlightenment [...]
Our colleagues at WccfTech had the pleasure of talking to NVIDA and it turned out that the new GeForce RTX 3050 GPU has been optimized for budget PC gamers and thus extends the RTX experience (within this very narrow corset) to a broad player base. With 6 GB of memory, it should make functions such as RTX Ray Tracing and AI calculations accessible [...]
Today marks the last round of the green super upgrade weeks and with the new GeForce RTX 4080 Super, there is a chip that is on the one hand more of the same and yet is supposed to be something different. With the RRP of 1109 euros (old model 1469 euros), the company naturally wants to create a sales impulse and at the same time suggest a [...]
ASUS has unveiled an extension to the Noctua edition range of GeForce RTX 30 and RTX 40 series GPUs to coincide with today’s launch at 3pm. The next GPU is based on NVIDIA’s flagship RTX-40 SUPER cards, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER. Although it is not in today’s test, two other cards are. ASUS has once again collaborated with [...]
Samsung plans to showcase its next-generation GDDR7 memory at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuit Conference 2024 in San Francisco next month. The company will hold a session titled “A 16Gb 37 Gb/s GDDR7 DRAM with PAM3 Optimized TRX Equalization and ZQ Calibration” to showcase its advanced memory solutions for the next [...]
Please don’t panic again, but the new adapter is so fragile that quality management and controls can’t be tough enough to ensure safe operation. And since there will be no media launch of the GeForce RTX 4080 Super tomorrow and no results can be published until the day after tomorrow, I’m going to focus today on a product that is [...]
The open-source RADV Vulkan driver has been developed to take a strong competitive position in terms of hardware support, continuous optimization and bug fixes. Recently, extensive optimizations have been made to the RADV Vulkan driver, resulting in a significant increase in ray tracing performance of up to 200%. These improvements make the RADV [...]
Today I was supposed to launch an OC card at 3 pm, but unfortunately FedEx prevented that (once again). The card only arrived after traveling the world for over a week. This is exactly why we now have Plan G like Gainward and thus the RTX 4070 Ti Super Panther OC 16 GB MSRP as a replacement. Whereby the replacement is actually almost unfair [...]
WITH the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Lightning Z, MSI has once again made a real catch. This is because there is a significant increase compared to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio, which has already been tested. Our detailed test...
AMD Fluid Motion Frames technology was presented for the first time in September. This technology uses frame generation to increase FPS in games with just one click. Unlike FSR 3, which requires collaboration with game developers, AFMF technology can easily integrate image generation technology by injecting it through the driver side. Although FSR [...]
MSI hat nach weiteren Untersuchungen nicht nur ein BIOS für die betroffene RTX 4070 Ti Super Ventus 3X zur Verfügung gestellt, sondern in einem Aufwasch für alle bisher durch MSI gelaunchten Karten mit diesem Chip. Egal, ob man direkt betroffen ist oder nicht – MSI empfiehlt vorsichtshalber das BIOS-Update für alle nachfolgend aufgeführten [...]
