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 [...]
What is the best way to test graphics cards in the workstation area? Of course with appropriate software and not just any dead-optimized synthetics. But it's not just the software that decides, but also the hardware. That's exactly where I started again and thought long beforehand. In the end, because the fastest CPU per thread is also [...]
Many people were certainly annoyed by the somewhat sparse sampling, even those who had expected me to take a complete test at the launch. The fact that this was not possible may also be due to AMD's new sampling strategy and the fact that none of the dealers have a CPU before the 25.11. was allowed to give. Genereral verdongelung on all fronts [...]
Intel has the 10th place in the high-end desktop sector. generation of the Gen Core-X series. So far, so unexcited, because the processors codenamed Cascade Lake-X will use the long-known Skylake architecture, which is still manufactured in the old 14 nm process technology. And you probably can't thank AMD enough for some price pressure [...]
When testing the new AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs, we found a significant difference in write rates between the R9 3900X and the R7 3700X in the aidA64 storage benchmarks. After initial astonishment and theoretical assumptions, AMD has now confirmed that it is indeed a conscious choice of architecture.
I don't want to spoil the end result at the beginning, but if you first benchmark the predecessor Quadro P4000 as a direct comparison, only to then have to reach unplanned but curiously on the shelf and also to flatten a Quadro P5000 with it gallantly, then pinch two times in the forearm. Especially since you can get this smallest RTX-Quadro [...]
I didn't want to come to the readers martial with registry hack or something like that, but it's quite annoying when you get a Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 for testing, see the Reviewers Guide with the SPECapc for Solidworks 2017 and still get yourself manually to get a little bit of performance at all. The problem is Solidworks' internal [...]
With the Radeon Pro WX 8200, AMD is pushing a new workstation graphics card with Vega56, which is located below the Radeon Pro WX 9100 and Frontier Edition (both Vega64). But I not only set the map, but also disassembled it and measured a lot in the lab. With very interesting insights!
AMD has something to announce on 06.11.2018, that is already clear. AMD's CEO Lisa Su had already held both the event itself and the exact timing on Tuesday, Oct. November, given. To this end, she also briefly stated that these are products and technologies in the 7-nm process and that the whole thing is mainly based on commercial use such as [...]
AmD's second-generation Threadripper processors offered the WX series affordable server power for the first time, even for consumers and (semi-)professional users. Content creator. This new series was led by the almost bestial-looking 32-core / 64-thread model Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX. This 1800-euro processor set new records for multi [...]
Normally, Nvidia has always provided the in-house reference models for several generations now. the Founders Edition at the centre of the respective launches, while the on-board partner cards (usually as mockup or pre-series products) were only allowed to follow at least visually weeks later. This time, this is supposed to be completely different [...]
After the performance, of course, I also had time to visit the famous Q&A rounds, in which you sometimes also learn details that are missing in the actual events, for whatever reason. From left to right, Bob Pette (Vice President Professional Vizualisation), Tony Tamasi (Senior Vice President of Content and Technology), and Bob Sherbin (Vice [...]
So far, there is no trace of messegewusel. With the exception of a few floor cleaning and door-knocking agents, so far only monitors with announcements, locked corridors and security guards are a sign of a little launch feeling. The whole thing is hard to beat in secrecy and I can't remember ever making such a show around a Quadro graphics [...]
