The colleagues from Notebookcheck have tested the 16-core Zen4 Raphael and tried out the brand-new ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo. Today’s review focuses only on CPU performance, with more details on gaming performance to follow later (although they have already released a teaser). According to the combined results, the flagship Ryzen 9 7945HX is [...]
Owners of GeForce RTX 40 and RTX 30 GPUs can now enjoy video content with higher image quality. This is made possible by NVIDIA’s new technology announced last month: RTX Video Super Resolution. RVSR was supposed to be released in February (nothing happened at the beginning) and this promise is actually kept now. NVIDIA released the driver [...]
The very first Ryzen 9 7945HX benchmark was spotted in the Geekbench database. This processor is part of AMD’s “Dragon Range” series with up to 16 Zen4 cores and 32 threads. The number of threads is just as high as in Intel’s 13th generation Core HX models. Generation, but the number of cores is lower (compared to 24). The [...]
With the update KB5022913, Microsoft has once again angered the professional users who had more or less grudgingly come to terms with the new Windows 11. Apart from the fact that many useful tools have been made worse again or quite banal things from the Windows everyday life have been moved or cutted again – with the popular Explorer [...]
There is still no word on official DirectX11 tessellation support, which means Chinese GPUs like MTT S80 will still not support many of the popular and old games. However, software development is progressing and the company has just announced that 42 games are now supported by the hardware, doubling the number since the last driver release. The [...]
In late 2022, a Japanese media outlet published an interview with AMD executives responsible for the company's graphics business. They were asked about the current generation of RDNA architectures, but also about what might come next. The interview focuses on many important topics, such as primitives and mesh shaders and how they are used by [...]
The AYANEO 2 and AYANEO GEEK handheld consoles are equipped with the Ryzen 7 6800U APU with Zen3+ and RDNA2 architecture. This powerful low-power processor was a trigger for the growing popularity of such products, and the upcoming Ryzen 7040 series should be just as interesting. And now there are unexpected problems. A new driver for its Radeon [...]
The cross-platform Geekbench benchmark can be used on Windows, Linux, macOS and Android operating systems. In the latest release, existing workloads have been updated and new workloads have been added that simulate the everyday use of modern devices (e.g., video conferencing or social media interactions). The updated software uses higher-quality [...]
NVIDIA DLAA (Deep Learning Antialiasing) is basically DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) without the upscaling part. This algorithm enhances the details in each image in the same way as traditional antialiasing techniques, only with the power of AI. DLAA technology improves the picture quality of games that already run excellently on the existing [...]
I rarely test any smartphones, unless it is for personal use. The Doogee V30 presented today is ultimately the upgrade to the already tested Doogee S89 Pro and has to compete with the Hotwav Cyber 7 again. Both smartphones are privately owned (by my children) and I have already written about the background and the sense or nonsense of smartphones [...]
Der8auer visited Intel labs where the company’s current and upcoming processors are tested. In doing so, he explains the structure of the Intel reference platform used for testing and the capabilities these motherboards offer Intel engineers. Most of these features are not available to users (and never will be). Der8auer shows Intel’s [...]
The problem that low-end SKUs are outshone by flagship SKUs at similar power consumption above a certain range because they have more power reserves is generally known and documented. This became a real issue two GeForce generations ago, forcing NVIDIA and laptop manufacturers to disclose more information about the TBP (Total Board Power) of each [...]
Four new PCI device IDs were found, which do not belong to any of the currently known NVIDIA graphics cards. The designations are in no way official, but have been suggested by the operators of the PCI ID database, who often receive initial information earlier. Allegedly, four new mobile GPUs will be launched soon, each with a different GPU model: [...]
The AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raphael architecture (codenamed Dragon Range). This hybrid of mobile and desktop processor will probably power most high-end gaming laptops based on AMD hardware, such as Alienware m16/m18, ASUS ROG Strix or Lenovo Legion. According to AMD, these CPUs should work with TDPs of [...]
The final driver for the integrated RDNA3 graphics is probably still a few weeks away. Nevertheless, some preliminary results on the Bilibili platform with the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS processor, codenamed Phoenix, have now been published. This processor type features the latest AMD architectures like the Zen4 CPU with 8 cores and RDNA3 for graphics [...]
Soon the Arc Control software, which is now integrated in the graphics drivers for all Arc Alchemist GPUs and Iris Xe graphics cards (although it is optional), will receive an overdue update. According to Linus Sebastian, the update will affect the software’s display. It will no longer be (just) an overlay, which was the main reason why the [...]
DDU is an indispensable software for all GPU enthusiasts. Reviewers and gamers know this very well, and this is where Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) comes in. The software can completely remove all the data left by the graphics drivers, including registry data, folders and files, and driver memory. The software was developed by Wagnard and works [...]
This week, Jarrod’s Tech is at it again. The YouTube channel had the opportunity to show the performance of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 laptop GPU, which will be used in the upcoming Razer Blade 16 gaming laptop. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 laptop GPU is insanely fast compared to the RTX 3080 Ti for both gaming and workload creation. An [...]
The most popular overclocking tool programmed by Alexey will now continue without MSI support. The reason for this is the ongoing war in Ukraine , resulting in licensing problems. Due to sanctions, companies like MSI are unable to fulfill their obligations under the contract signed with the developer. Alexey himself lives in Russia. The MSI [...]
Since many users and especially YouTubers as well as twitchers still take the values of tools like the MSI Afterburner or AMD’s Radeon software for the power consumption of their graphics card at face value, I have to add something. The vast amount of videos that are supposed to show how much more “economical” graphics card A is [...]
