AMD has added a useful feature called “System Lag” in its latest driver that allows latency monitoring in games that support Anti-Lag technology. Radeon RX 7000 GPU owners can use this feature to determine their PC’s system lag, especially when Anti-Lag is enabled. Similar to NVIDIA’s PCL feature in the FrameView [...]
Windows 12 rumors have gained momentum in the industry. Now, a senior Intel executive has hinted that the new operating system may appear in 2024. David Zinser, Intel’s chief financial officer, said in an interview at the Citi 2023 Global Technology Conference that the coming year would be “particularly exciting,” especially for [...]
Is there anything left to do? Intel continues its commitment to improving the gaming experience on its Arc GPUs rather unwaveringly with the release of the latest Game-On drivers. This latest update not only adds support for hotly anticipated titles like Forza Motorsport and Assassin’s Creed Mirage, but also brings significant other [...]
ASUS has begun rolling out the brand new AMD AGESA 1.0.8.0 BIOS for AM5 motherboards, which includes support for the upcoming Ryzen “Phoenix” APUs. Potential AMD Phoenix desktop launch as ASUS releases AGESA 1.0.8.0 BIOS with Ryzen 7000 “Phoenix” APU support Months went by without any updates on the desktop APU side, but it [...]
AMD has released its long-awaited Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) technology in the Adrenaline Preview driver. AFMF is an upscaling technology that allows gamers to double or even triple their frame rates without sacrificing quality. The technology works by combining two frames from gameplay and then upscaling them using a proprietary algorithm. AFMF [...]
The latest version of CPU-Z now supports the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000WX CPUs that will be part of the upcoming Storm Peak platform. This offers an early look at the new CPU generation that is expected to dominate the workstation segment. CPU-Z and similar applications are always a good way to learn about CPU series before they are released [...]
Anyone who buys from Amazon Marketplace generally knows the risk they are getting into with third-party retailers, because Amazon is then only a sales platform, but not the seller. That is at least sufficiently transparent. Galaxus, on the other hand, has refined the whole thing gallantly and if you try price search engines, you will find the [...]
Who would have thought that after all these years, Apple still hasn’t figured out how to produce enough phones to meet demand? It’s almost as if they’re doing it on purpose to increase excitement. Or maybe it’s a new marketing ploy: “Make it as rare as a unicorn, and the misguided lemmings will want it more!” [...]
AMD has finally released the long-awaited AMDVLK Vulkan driver for its Radeon GPU, which offers numerous optimizations for ray tracing and other improvements. This means that the long-awaited Q3 update is now available and AMD releases its own Radeon Vulkan drivers, while MESA Vulkan drivers continue to lead the way. AMD’s approach with the [...]
In a small country beyond the seven beer seas and seven bratwurst mountains, the excitement was once again palpable. The iPhone 15 (Pro Max) had been announced with much fanfare in a nicely done live stream, and members of the illustrious Apple cult could hardly wait to warm their hands on it, given the rising gas prices and the looming harsh [...]
A pre-production model of the new iPhone 15 was subjected to the Geekbench 6.2 benchmark earlier this week. The device ran iOS 17.0 and had the Logic Board name “D83AP”. The A17 Pro chipset, which is built into the iPhone 16.1, is the industry’s first “3nm” chip. Apple has set high goals for this chip, promising [...]
Welcome to the weekend! And as always, the worst is (almost) never over. That’s exactly where we start: The first picture shows why the screwdriver is not called a puller. If you turn, there is three-phase current, if you pull: nothing more.
AMD has significantly improved the ray tracing performance of its Radeon graphics cards on Linux. The new drivers, which are based on the open-source Mesa RADV Vulkan, use “monolithic pipelining” to boost performance. This means that ray tracing calculations are now performed in a single step, instead of multiple steps. This [...]
It’s Friday again, the graphics card to be tested is still sweating in the lab and I’ll serve you a different kind of breakfast cake instead. Maybe I’ll still manage to write the article today, otherwise it will be on Monday. I can but already spoil it: it is the pure innocence in white! So it’s the cat-haired Alpina white [...]
The world of power banks is truly an adventure in its own right. When you look at the shelves in electronics stores and all the online offers, one might think that they are all gallantly growing in competition with each other. They come in all sizes, colors, and shapes, as if they were part of a power bank fashion show. But there’s a catch [...]
The A17 Pro introduces hardware ray tracing in a new GPU, and console-quality games have been announced for the phone. Apple’s A17 Pro chip brings console gaming to the smartphone. Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will get the first 3-nanometer chip, the A17 Pro. The A17 Pro has 19 billion transistors and a 6-core CPU with [...]

Analysten gehen davon aus, dass ARM einer der ersten Kunden sein könnte, der den Prozess nutzt. Dies könnte ARM dabei helfen, Marktanteile im mobilen Markt zu gewinnen, da der 18-A [...]
In today’s test I present my first steps in the CNC machine world. By the way, the TwoTrees 450 that I would like to present today before I use it for my projects comes from Geekbuying, because I have not found it in any German store so far and in the end my curiosity was much bigger than my mistrust. The TwoTrees 450 from today’s [...]
The colleagues from WCCFTECH have once again dedicated themselves to Starfield. NVIDIA’s DLSS 3.5 technology, known for its ability to improve image quality and frame rates, is now available for Starfield on the PC. However, not officially and only thanks to the efforts of external modders, since the studio, for whatever reason (we [...]
