By using the GPU to decompress game content, Microsoft’s DirectStorage technology can certainly improve load times. Could, at least in theory. Consequently, the more data that is then processed via the GPU, the more likely it is that gamers [...]

Youtubers Iskandar Souza and Paulo Gomes recently unveiled an investigation into third-party GPU vendors and resellers painting over certain areas of graphics cards to make them appear newer. The two accuse crypto miners of finding increasingly [...]
AMD releases the new Zen 4 CPUs without X in the name today. Of course, I was able to test the CPUs in the form of the Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 5 7600 in advance and also added the respective X models freshly. Even though these new CPUs might look [...]
How a jack-of-all-trades cherishes retro culture: visiting igor’sLAB in the Nerd Niche (with raffle)
There are certainly many stories that life writes. One of them: My wife approached me a few days ago with the wish that she would like to have a Gameboy Advance again. Of course, I am immediately on fire with such projects, because I myself love the [...]
Today I finally reveal the secret of the GeForce RTX 4080 12GB GeForce RTX 4070 Ti in the form of the board partner card MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPRIM X 12GB, which is the smallest Ada card so far. The near-full AD104 is used, while the larger RTX [...]
I deliberately waited until I could get congruent and plausible information through various information channels, which can now also shed some light after two to three weeks. While AMD’s support initially resisted even acknowledging the [...]
The time has finally come and after a lot of theory and unboxing in the run-up, we can finally test what the new Radeon RX 7900XTX and RX 7900XT can really do and where there might even be further potential. I assume that AMD was also somewhat [...]
I was skeptical as always, but this time I was proven wrong. If you leave aside the artificial, gaudy comic art, Criterion has finally managed not to create what feels like the tenth rehash of a Forza Burnout Need for Speed Paradise Horizon. Well, a [...]
Fast, quiet, cool and efficient don’t have to be mutually exclusive since the launch of the GeForce RTX 4080 16GB, and the MSI RTX 4080 SUPRIM X 16GB is no different. Unfortunately, it is also more, namely currently far too expensive. Even if [...]
Today we can finally present the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Founders Edition (FE) including all technical details and the long-awaited benchmarks, because the suspense curve was already plenty big. Even though NVIDIA actually sees the card as the [...]
We have already reported in detail about NVIDIA’s DLSS 3.0 and the option to generate and insert additional frames via frame generation. AMD had recently announced a similar feature and FSR 3.0 for next year. And interestingly enough, owners [...]
The GeForce RTX 4090 has been launched, and with the 12VHPWR port, we’ll have to see how it develops, and that’s exactly why we’re turning to the pleasant side of life today. It would be boring to just write about the adapter all [...]
The time has come and after an almost unbearable period of waiting and speculation, I can finally present the GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition (FE) today including all technical details and the long-awaited benchmarks. I already wrote an article [...]
Where is Ryzen? They won’t be here until this afternoon, at 3 p.m. sharp. And to make the wait not so hard, we have a little pearl for you, which is really worth to be presented as well. If you have gasoline in your blood and bullets in your [...]
Are they coming, or aren’t they? And if so, when? Various media had again written or spoken about a delay, but Intel is said to have now internally decided on a narrower time frame. If they’re going to stick to the current timeframe, the [...]
Gradually, FSR compatible games will receive the update to FSR version 2.0. What was initially seen as AMD’s desperate answer to Nvidia’s DLSS is supposed to be a serious opponent in the new version. Since there is already a lot of [...]
After my last article “Back tot he /root(s) – Retro gaming for beginners and enthusiasts” I thought about how I can indulge my passion when I’m on the road. After some research, I found what I was looking for: The company [...]
If you also hear what you see, the external analog amplifier has a nasty background hum, the headphones are much too quiet, and the sound comes across much too flat and powerless in other ways as well, then something is obviously rotten with the [...]

Once again, I will try to extrapolate the power consumption of individual components to be able to conclude the power consumption of the GPU. I was almost right on the money with Turing and also this time the board design, if it will really come [...]

Today I want to test the Intel Core i5-12400 in gaming first, before there will of course be the follow up with real application benchmarks soon. I used two brand new B660 motherboards as a base this time and also compare the DDR4 with a DDR5 [...]
