After one year of Ryzen 3000 (“Matisse”), the replacement of the current Ryzen 5 3600X, Ryzen 7 3800X and Ryzen 9 3900X is approaching, by adding MTS2 (internal for “Matisse Refresh”), an improved XT replacement, which should make waiting for Ryzen 4000 (“Vermeer”) a little easier. And probably also a little bit [...]
Owning an Apple PC is usually quite an expensive affair and is usually celebrated almost religiously. But if you want to work with MacOS, perhaps to have an advantage over Windows PCs in one or the other application, or simply to be different, you don’t necessarily have to buy an Apple Mac Pro (2019). Fortunately there is the possibility to [...]
Update from 14.08.2023 Here is a newer review: Roundup 2023 of current workstation graphics cards from AMD and NVIDIA – How does the Radeon Pro W7000 series fare against Ada and Ampere? Update from 03.06.2020 Further benchmarks have been added, especially considering hardware acceleration (AI, rendering). In addition, the layout of the [...]
After I could finally put the Workstation Graphics Card Charts 2020 online with far more than 200 hours of pure testing time, I now have to work on the rest, which, I honestly admit, I always put off a bit. Because the boundaries between what you can consider a classic workstation scenario and what is so beautifully called Creation are becoming [...]
But I live in the here and now and there it has become (as so often) a bit tight with time, but of course something will be finished. Actually, there was a little bit more planned, but there was the sampling god and a more complex motherboard conversion planned, which almost cost me an extra day. Since it’s not a sponsored sample, it will be [...]
After the launch of the current Navi-Consumer and Workstation graphics cards, the Radeon VII has long been quiet in the Radeon VII, but now the Radeon Pro VII is a new edition for the professional sector. It is aimed primarily at broadcast and technology professionals and targets demanding broadcast and media projects, complex CAE simulations [...]
NVIDIA joins the shareholders of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and sees the engagement as another step in the long-standing successful collaboration between NVIDIA and DFKI in the field of machine learning and deep learning. Ian Buck, Vice President and General Manager for Accelerated Computing at NVIDIA, said: [...]
After 10 workstation graphics cards tested, I prepared a whopping 64 different chart graphics and invested almost 200 hours of pure benchmark time without assemling and software configuration. Of course, various cards are still missing, especially since AMD unfortunately does not show too much zeal in the sampling. I also have models in the test [...]
Who measures a lot measures crap. This rule applies as long as one does not actively deal with the circumstances and requirements and is not prepared to invest a lot – mostly private – time in its exploration. I started working more intensively on the power consumption of graphics cards in 2014 and to find a really good solution. In [...]
Distributed network attacks are often performed as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, which almost always use bot networks, i.e. "zombie PCs" of careless users taken over by malware. This makes a lot of things more difficult, as it is often no longer possible to make a geographical assignment that could have temporarily [...]
Everybody can cool with air and honestly: the adrenaline rush when you take apart and rebuild a card that costs several thousand euros is not to be despised. But the basic idea behind the whole water action is actually quite simple. How much more clocks and thus also performance can be squeezed out of a Quadro RTX 6000 by the better cooling alone [...]
Actually these are two articles in one, but since one needs the other as a basic requirement, I simply put water cooling modification and overclocking in a review. You can do the one and leave the other. Because even if AMD has given the Radeon Pro W5700 the power reins in terms of performance, at least audibly it will still be. Those who then [...]
What brings, or could really bring PCI Express 4.0? Because there is not too much useful to read or see as a video about what can be really useful with graphics cards, especially not from everyday practice (outside the usual games). I tested for 5 hours with quite interesting insights. Guck command!
With the Radeon Pro W5700, Navi has finally arrived in the affordable workstation area. The Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 has been picked out as an opponent. But is performance and driver quality enough for a class victory of the cards up to 1000 Euros? I test full versions of many standard programs, disassemble the map and also have the answers.
Yesterday I had already put the new Radeon Pro W5700 through its paces in the launch article “AMD Radeon Pro W5700 Review – price and performance are right, but it’s enough for the Quadro RTX 4000?“, but I was still unclear where the advantage of the new test platform with the Ryzen 9 3950X including X570 motherboard and [...]
With the AMD Radeon Pro W5700 introduced today, Navi has finally arrived in the affordable workstation sector. Why one uses only the smaller chip with 36 Compute Units (CU) and thus 2304 shaders instead of the full 40 CUs, probably only AMD knows. After all one can offer such a card with 150 watts GPU power (not board power), which one has trimmed [...]
I am currently sitting on the review of the Radeon Pro W5700, AMD's new workstation graphics card with the smaller Navi 10 chip, as you can also find on the radeon RX 5700 consumer version. So far, so unexcited. Nevertheless, I have considered how the possible backlog to the Quadro RTX 4000 could perhaps be shortened a little. Normally, not a [...]
After many measurement series and invested hours, the article about the power consumption of the Ryzen 9 3950X was (just) finished. The CPU, which AMD collected again this morning by courier for the rotation between the editorial staffs, was even somewhat warm, because I had to break off the tests now unfortunately. For this reason, there will be [...]
Between all the workstation benchmarks, which are really real hour eaters every time, I thought what would happen if you let go of these bolides on Crysis from 2007. Is there finally something going on in Ultra-HD? Well, the whole thing is a little decadent, of course, but why not? DirectX10 is nams so long ago and what are 12 years in IT to [...]
