With the ROG GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Strix Gaming, Asus puts an interpretation of the GP104, which has been slimmed down into the GTX 1070 Ti, on the customer shelf, which actually does almost everything right and nothing wrong. Of course, this is also reflected in the price, but we can... The rather tidy-looking board does not hide any secrets. Power [...]
Much does not always help much - but on the other hand, a system that still looks slightly oversized today may reach its limits tomorrow. You can probably never have enough performance and there is also a certain feeling of future... We start with two synthetic benchmarks, but consciously share this category in DirectX11 and DirectX12. In the [...]
AMD's return to the CPU sector last year was reflected in a seemingly endless launch of new processors that could put real pressure on Intel in almost all areas of the desktop PC market. This forced Intel to make the most drastic adjustments to its desktop portfolio in the last decade. Nevertheless, AMD continues to manage to continuously gain [...]
Reference system for workstation testing at Tom's Hardware Since we didn't want to build a pure Xeon workstation (which of course is always a cost issue), we want to compromise and select consumer hardware so that it can be... Assembly and instructions If you want to use the Cooler Master Cosmos C700P, you need not only a thick wallet, but [...]
If we were asked for a somewhat eye-catching RX Vega64 and if the range of such cards were not so limited, then the Red Devil from Powercolor would come to mind spontaneously. Because it not only applies quite strongly visually, but also ... Board layout Powercolor also differs somewhat from AMD's reference layout at first glance, but the most [...]
Today's PREVAILPRO P4000 is marketed by PNY as a mobile workstation and therefore also sorts itself in the relevant price segment above 4500 Euros and will be available directly in Germany in the foreseeable future.... Opening your notebook What would a notebook review be without Tear Down? On the one hand, the manufacturer does not list all [...]
If we were asked for a slightly better equipped RX Vega64 and if the range of such cards were more diversified, we would probably call the Asus RX Vega64 Strix OC. Where and how exactly the map is positioned, today's test ... Board layout Like Gigabyte and Sapphire, Asus is extremely different from AMD's reference layout, which should make [...]
Now that the discussions about thermal conduction in AMD's new APUs have made enough high waves instead of the metallic solder, we want to check how AMD's TIM is against a good, conventonal thermal paste and a suitable liquid... Temperatures and power consumption Let's start by looking at the temperatures and stomping - in two ways [...]
We take a look at AMD's two new APUs in detail and analyze power consumption, clock, temperatures, and the interactions of all these values. And of course we also test the Boxed cooler against the Chiller and find a kind of ... The Witcher 3 (Skellige) We have been using this game for a long time to determine the power consumption of the [...]
With Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G, AMD is sending two new APUs into the entry-level and mid-range segments that combine both Zen and Vega genes. This could make this combination a useful alternative to ... Zen becomes Ryzen But let's go back to our little introductory course, which we had already started on the first page. It all started [...]
Why do we need stability and stress tests? This time we want to question how we can optimally test the stability and, of course, the cooling of our CPU. Not only too high clock rates or too low voltages can ultimately make the system unstable, because even too high temperatures can negatively affect stability and performance. But how do you stress [...]
Why do we need stability and stress tests? On the one hand, of course, the technical implementation of a graphics card is of interest. One often knows the performance-technical limits of the graphics hardware, but about the concrete use in one's own, mostly closed structure, the best review tells you not everything at first. Especially when it [...]
Important preliminary remarks Since the actual performance of all board partner cards of the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti ex works has to be very similar due to the fixed base and boost offset for all manufacturers, the real achieved results depend on... We had already mentioned it at the beginning that almost exclusively the resulting boost clock rates of [...]
Although Colorful has not owned a German distribution for years, you can still buy these cards as long as you are willing to get involved in Chinese online shops and also take import duties into account. However, one also somehow orders the cat in the bag: a return is either difficult or it is (almost) impossible. Guarantee services are regulated [...]
What is white, slightly overweight and even really fast within the framework of their genes? No, we are not writing about a full Snow White on Speed, but the Galax GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Hall of Fame, which is held in Europe for trademark reasons. KFA2/Galax uses a modified GTX 1070 Hall of Fame board for the GTX 1070 Ti Hall of Fame, but with [...]
If there were enough Vega chips and thus a wide range of cards, the Gigabyte RX Vega64 in this form would probably be the ideal entry-level card, rather than a top-of-the-line model. But it really must always be the demonstration of what is technically feasible... Board layout As with the RX Vega56 Gaming OC, Gigabyte is extremely different from [...]
Unlike Sapphire's heavyweight RX Vega64 Nitro+, the Gigabyte RX Vega56 Gaming OC is more of a grey mouse with a fairly healthy body measure index. Just don't stand out at all costs. And it almost seems as if you even have it consciously ... Board layout Gigabyte is extremely different from AMD's reference layout of the RX Vega, which [...]
Sapphire took its time, which certainly did not harm the whole project. While some competitors have already scattered PVT samples, i.e. the small series, among the media before the start of the actual mass production, S... Board layout Sapphire differs significantly from AMD's reference design when designing the board. This even makes sense in [...]
The first major driver package was the Catalyst Omega back in 2014. A year later, the Radeon Software Crimson Edition driver was available for the astonished people. In 2016, AMD gave us the Crimson ReLive Edition before Christmas and this ...
Here and now we deal with the rendering and performance of pure compute tasks. We cover gaming performance, as well as workstation performance in CAD (real-time display), in other parts of this CPU chart... Solidworks 2015, like Creo 3.0, not only uses the CPU to realize the graphics output, but also, in contrast to the free SPECviewperf, also [...]
