KFA2 has designed a current Turing card with the very simple GeForce RTX 2080 Ti OC, which could be considered a real Janus head. What makes the card very interesting for a very specific target group is its first BIOS, which I will discuss in more detail later. Since this card, however cynical it may sound, is one of the rather "cheap" [...]

The current scarcity of Intel's products in the 14nm process and the inability to realize its own 10nm process at all also strikes quite brutally on the Z390 motherboards in particular and the availability of the complete new product line in the So that the launch of the Platform Controller Hub (PCH) Z390 and the new Coffee Lake S Refresh [...]
Two very unequal sisters The fact that the Founders Edition of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2080 Ti would have particularly good chips is not only an urban legend, but complete nonsense. Clock-adjusted and provided with the same BIOS, e.g. the board of my press sample from Nvidia water-cooled also no better than e.g. the KFA2/Galax RTX 2080 Ti OC [...]
Gainward (i.e. The gaming brand of Palit) relies on a complete self-design for the board and a 2.5-slot radiator structure with three 8.5 cm fans (opening 9 cm, 15 rotor blades) in the Phantom GLH ("Goes Like Hell") that build up a correspondingly static pressure. The longitudinal, chrome-plated pipes are visually an eye-catcher, but do [...]
Of course, the detailed individual tests of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FE and RTX 2080 as well as the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio will not end, on the contrary! Who doesn't remember my long burners, like the roundups for the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, 1080, 1070 and 1060? For this generation, too, I plan both detailed individual tests [...]
MSI has presented ti Gaming X Trio with the GeForce RTX 2080 and introduces its own new graphics card design. From the very beginning, MSI relies on a true custom design and its own cooler with three fans (2x 9.5 cm and 1x 8.5 cm) as well as with the obligatory RGB effects. It is equipped with the TU102, has 11 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory and [...]
If you are not yet so familiar with the subject matter, I strongly recommend to you to get started and better understand my basic article "Basics GPUs: Power Consumption, Power Supply Conflicts & Other Myths" (opens in a new tab/window), which provides the most important information for the following. In the entry article for Turing [...]
The time has come, finally! After all the many (but very readable!) Theory presented in our basic article "Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 – what is really hidden behind Turing" from last week, it's almost finally getting to the bottom of today! Not only do we benchmark the two new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 (Ti) FE, but [...]
After some board partners told us that the TU102 was late or was delivered too late to launch a real hard-launch on 20.09.2018, meanwhile also some pre-orders report reported delays or delays. notifications received from dealers. This fits perfectly into the already known picture, according to which there was speculation in advance about BIOS bugs [...]
With the GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio, MSI introduces its own new graphics card design. From the very beginning, MSI relies on a true custom design and its own cooler with three fans and the obligatory RGB effects. It is equipped with the TU104, has 8 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory and offers everything else we already know from the reference [...]
Nvidia Turing Deep-Dive: Welcome to the Ray Tracing Revolution Let's take a positive view of it, it will work later (for the most part) as it was proudly presented to the astonished attendees at Siggraph and Gamescom 2018. Then Turing can be seen as Nvidia's biggest architectural leap in more than 10 years. To achieve all of this, the [...]
If you haven't lived at the foot of a cave for ten years, the "World of Warcraft" phenomenon has certainly not passed you by. Blizzard, the developer and publisher behind MMORPG, first released in 2004, has added new classes and story strands to the game's scope over the past few years. Millions of people around the world still [...]
With the DT 240 Pro, Beyerdynamic has been rounding down the headphone portfolio for several months now, although this small but rather inexpensive headphone is, in my view, mercilessly underestimated. The current street price of only 85 euros implies the unjust impression of a cheap Chinese purchase, but this is really wrong for the DT 240 Pro [...]
With the Spearhead VRX Gaming Headphone, 1More offers a gaming headset that is not actually a headset in the classic sense. In addition, Waves NX 3D is a well-functioning tracking solution that captures all movements of the head and implements them exactly in the audio image. But in addition to this in the test further details, exciting and rare [...]
We still have to live with what Nvidia told us during Editors Day, because unfortunately I don't have my own benchmarks yet. But at least Nvidia presented a certainly interesting slide, which has to be interpreted precisely and without emotion. Nvidia tests all applications with 3840 x 2160 pixels, i.e. in Ultra HD and with an unspecified [...]
What Nvidia has released so far, I have put for you directly here on the server for scrolling through and afterpage. In addition to the well-known features, other RTF-specific functions are added. But always beautiful in turn… For example, Nvidia announced the introduction of Ansel RTX in its GeForce Experience software at Gamescom 2018 [...]
Will the wait for Nvidia's new generation of graphics cards come to an end soon? NVIDIA launches on Monday, 20 May. The GeForce Gaming Celebration will be announced at 6p on August 8, which almost certainly suggests a live presentation of the new gaming cards. So we can be curious. After the new Quadro cards of the RTX series and their [...]
Normally, Nvidia has always provided the in-house reference models for several generations now. the Founders Edition at the centre of the respective launches, while the on-board partner cards (usually as mockup or pre-series products) were only allowed to follow at least visually weeks later. This time, this is supposed to be completely different [...]
So AMD did! Not only that the Threadripper 2 has also been granted the new Zen+ This, as we already find with the Ryzen 2700X and other models of this series, no, one also occupies all four possible places in one of the two models tested today. instead of two, the Ryzen Threadripper 2990 WX elegantly (and almost with a casual gesture from [...]
Take a chip that isn't quite as baptismal and think about which new product line you can establish and what added value you could generate for the end customer. The latter, of course, first of all from the point of view of marketing, because you have to establish the new product line somehow on the market. The older Gaming-X models are no [...]
Beautiful, optomechanical keyboard switches were already the very last cry last year and you could already admire the Switches of A4tech (Light Strike "LK") and Adomax (Flaretech) in finished products at computex 2016. But the same thing happened with the classic, purely mechanical switches: third parties take up the idea and produce [...]
Our French colleague Yannick Guerrini contributed a large part of the content in today's test and, as we are all on the same wavelength and also want to expand our strategic partnership in Europe, there will certainly be many more articles in the future. developed in close cooperation. I would like to put this ahead of the test, because we [...]
Introduction, Unboxing and Scope of Delivery The Beyerdynamic A20 is the little brother of the A2, but the target group and functional orientation are fundamentally different. The A20 cannot and does not want to cover many things at all, but presents itself as a very independent and at the same time solid device, whose minimalism is really barren [...]
The test system In our article "White and Fast: KFA2 Hall Of Fame Extreme DDR4-4000 in Test" we have already seen that the Core i7-8700K and the Ryzen 7 2700X benefit from an increase in memory frequency and also offer increased CPU and game performance. However, we also wanted to know whether this also applies to a Ryzen APU and its [...]
