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 [...]

With the current Wattman from AMD’s driver, a lot of things (albeit with some errors in the GUI) work as intended and had. You can even expand it, even if AMD’s editor for the voltage/frequency curve as a “fused curve” seems a bit mysterious. This is exactly where the RTG [...]
In the course of MSI's "Review It – Keep it" campaign, I was lucky that the nice PCHMG community chose me in the final vote. The big bundle includes: an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, an MSI MEG X570 ACE, an SMSI Optix MAG272CQR and finally the MSI MPG Sekira 500G, with which I will start here [...]
Our forum member Casi030 has recently given himself up to the grinding again and since many readers write that heatpipe direct touch is bad, he has once done a test for himself with a massive radiator floor. For this, he has secured a Scythe Kotetsu Mark II TUF Gaming Alliance to compete against [...]
The topic is plentiful complex and hot and ideally suited to provoke even neat emotions. I would therefore like to preface this article with a preliminary remark, which iamplease keep in mind during the reading. After all, I have thought for a long time whether and how what has accumulated here in [...]
The subject is almost as old as lignite and I have not only written an article about it in recent years. However, the feedback of those who are looking for help and would like to see everything clearly summarized and updated again is piling up again. Of course, I will not close myself off from this [...]
Currently there is a very large selection of processors, be it from the blue Intel or the red AMD bearing. But what do you actually need for everyday work, gambleors or a few pictures or pictures? To edit videos from the holiday? Does it have to be the Intel Core i9-9900k or the Ryzen 9 3900X from [...]
I have already tried to explain the rough course of a development with an article. I also touched the circuit diagram and the PCB layout very superficially. Afterwards, Igor had addressed several details in the article "Why the performance increase of Nvidia's Ampere could be quite [...]
I have long been annoyed about the treasures in the water circuit, because an exact measurement of the flow and the impairment of the same by components such as radiators, quick connectors and other brakes was not possible until now and the dispersion on the other hand was so enormous. , that I [...]
At the request of a community member, a rough overview of the technical data was added. On top of that, a feedback from Daniel Bogdanoff from Keysight gave me the opportunity to open the device. This opportunity was of course used to give a price to the inner life. In principle, I have the [...]
Yes, it's just so winter and Corona has the outside life under control. Samples become scarce and stop, how warm is it actually outside? Admittedly, summer is still a long way off, but it gets warmer every day. For a PC owner or self-builder, the topics of waste heat, cooling and ambient [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Industry analysts Newzoo expect the video game industry to generate sales of 149 billion dollars in 2019, a figure that compares with cinema and video revenue. Streaming, which IbisWorld has reported at 103 billion dollars, impresses.
Since I'd like to go to the factories of the contract manufacturers and always try to take a look behind the Kullissen, but just the cute little Corona virus lurks grinning behind every Far Eastern corner and i'm hämisch with a hearty "You come here net in the pure", it must [...]
Since AMD has massively restricted the use of the SoftPowerPlayTables and thus indirectly also the MorePowerTool with the Adrenaline drivers from 2020, the community mourns the former overclocking or underclocking bonus, which made the Navi cards like a Radeon RX 5700 (XT) at least a bit more [...]
I’ve been wrestling with myself for a long time about whether to publish the current state of this headset at all, but I just do it. For two reasons. First, you should also pay attention to things that you (e.g. by me) (as the then proud owner) and secondly, the current state also proves [...]
RGB is everywhere today – fans, components, input devices, even toilet lids (no joke!) are already available with RGB lighting. In some respects, I can even understand the trend: the play of colours is usually pretty to look at and individually adaptable to your own preferences. Unfortunately [...]
No, such capturing cards are unfortunately not cheap, certainly not at such resolutions. I had to experience this again painfully. But since I want to change my YT videos to 4K in perspective and are currently only waiting for a suitable camera setup with a suitable output (memory cards are only an [...]
In the summer of 2017, AMD introduced the GCN 5 alias "Vega" graphics cards, which, after some delay, were finally intended to knock Nvidia's fast and economical Pascal cards off the throne. Despite the nearly 500 mm2 chip and a 2048-bit wide HBM2 memory interface, the attack failed [...]
Today’s tutorial shows how to load the new BIOS of the respective Radeon RX 5600 XT in just a few steps without having to physically overwrite the BIOS on the card! The GPU-Z screenshot shows the initial situation with the old BIOS. If you don’t have a new BIOS, load the old one (can be [...]
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 [...]
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!
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 [...]
We already know it from many (also mine) articles about cooling, thermal paste and heatspreader: really plan is really nothing. And while the quality of the radiator floors has really improved over the years, one would finally have to question the current CPUs again, or not? That's exactly what [...]
