Amazon launches the beta phase of a new game and almost simultaneously users all over the internet report that their Nvidia RTX 3090 GPUs are dying. The reasons have not yet been officially confirmed. In EVGA’s case, it’s supposedly due to a faulty fan controller, though other sources say cards from other vendors or even other GPU [...]
It’s that time of year again, so today we’re going to tackle the topic of system latency. Today it’s again about the two opponents NVIDIA MSI RTX 3060 Ti Gaming X Trio vs. AMD Radeon MSI RX 6700 XT Gaming X, the current middle class in the pixel producing business. This also means that NVIDIA Reflex and Boost as well as AMD Anti [...]
You can love it or hate it, but NfS Underground 2 was and is a milestone of the Need for Speed series. And as original CD version current unfortunately no longer playable. But there is a remedy, because various packs have solved this problem elegantly. Today’s weekend article is meant to be a little encouragement for you to maybe dig out the [...]
Ah, so that’s it! AMD has finally dropped support for its GCN GPU architecture, which includes the Radeon HD 7000, RX 200, RX 300 and Fury series graphics cards. This is a bit of a surprise, but not entirely unexpected. The mentioned graphics card families are thus put into the so-called legacy status and no further driver versions are [...]
What lasts long – usually becomes good. However, I took extra time for today’s test with the question “NVIDIA NULL and Reflex vs. AMD Anti-Lag and Radeon Boost, which works better?”. For some time now I have been writing about the topic of latencies and there have been a few articles from me on this topic. In particular, we [...]
Much has been written about the game, so I don’t need to go into extreme detail again. And even though it’s actually a console port, the game is already from 2019 and used to be PS4 exclusive – the PC gets to show what it can do again here (and the player all the more). Deacon St. John as the main character is the likeable anti [...]
In the first part of my review, I took a look at the XMG Ultra 17 barebone inside, the whole thing powered by an Intel Core i9-11900K. assembled and really stressed out. Today we have the missing gaming benchmarks, a few applications and the efficiency review of the GeForce 3080 laptop, which has a (positive) surprise in store. Considering all the [...]
Mass Effect is one of those things, it can get personal pretty quickly if you like the genre and remember the fondly sacrificed nights in 2007, 2010 and 2012. I even pulled out the original first part last year and played it on my retro PC. However, I quickly gave it up again, because the real feeling from back then just wouldn’t come back [...]
Hello everyone, unfortunately I have been very busy with work for the last few weeks. Therefore, the next articles from me will be a bit delayed. Very annoying! After we already looked at NVIDIA Reflex and various sync technologies in terms of system latency, I have prepared another short review for you. In the article about NVIDIA Reflex and [...]
It’s been a while since AMD set itself a spring 2021 timeframe target for its DLSS competitor, FidelityFX Super Resolution. Now TechTuber Coreteks speculates that you could probably be just a month away from launch. This is to be seen first with the usual caution, but it was to be noticed in return also that in this connection also from the [...]
Of course, what I’m doing today is just a first taste of what’s to come later in full glory. But large workloads also take time to prepare, because it’s supposed to add real value. And that’s where I’ll be bringing a larger review, which will then include the usual things like teardown, power consumption, power supply [...]
Nothing against the protection against cheaters, that this is necessary and right, you do not have to discuss. It’s just that in places the arrogance and disregard for legitimate objections and requests is almost unbearable. Games worth over 100 euros are worthless within a fraction of a second, just because someone has hung colorful fans [...]
With the rise of gaming in Europe, games are not only keeping gamers busy in the comfort of their own homes, but developers are also busy creating these worlds from the comfort of their own homes. However, productivity is at stake when the pandemic forces developers and engineers to work remotely rather than centrally and collaboratively within [...]
When it comes to the topic of latency, you often hear/read that adaptive sync technologies are supposed to have a negative impact on latency. Hmm? If you try to explain it to yourself, it could well be. Let’s say you have a 144 Hz monitor with FreeSync or G-SYNC and you’re beaming it at 300 FPS. Which, yes, means that sync technologies [...]
The polish developer studio “People Can Fly” has released the PvE Looter-Shooter “Outriders” and combines quite clever single player and co-op content for up to three players with the possibility to switch back and forth in the game quite seamlessly. There are four quite different classes and of course lots of things to [...]
I have to preface today’s post with a little paragraph first, as I want to take the whiff of sensationalism out of it. Nevertheless, you have to write about it and you also have to test it out emotionlessly beforehand. The video from Hardware Unboxed didn’t even surprise me that much, because we were able to make very similar [...]
Update from 28.01.2020 11:20 a.m. NVIDIA has meanwhile passed on the information that the discontinuation is a technical problem and that the cards will soon be online again. A reason for the (temporary) suspension could not be given, but it was justified with cache problems. So let’s be surprised once, because it would be a real pity for [...]
One thing was clear: As a child of the 80s/90s and a retro fan, a home-made gaming console had to be installed on the living room TV at some point, because I love old pixel mush and nostalgia gasms. The journey to the perfect retro console has been going on for over a year now and there are always plenty of ideas to rework in this area, but I [...]
The fact that you should use your RAM at least in dual-channel if possible has fortunately become widely accepted in the industry today. However, unlike channels, ranks are still talked about very rarely, if at all. Many publications, some of them very well known, prefer instead to talk about “sticks” or modules affecting performance [...]
The Trident Z RGB and Neo series from G.SKILL have been around almost as long as DDR4. However, for the new Ryzen 5000 CPUs, G.SKILL has refreshed their SKUs and added new XMP variants specifically optimized for Ryzen. Today we’re looking at the top of the line model of the new variants, a 2x 16GB kit in dual-rank configuration, with Samsung [...]
The reason behind and restrictions Cyberpunk 2077 sets new standards for graphics and therefore hardware. But not only the graphics card and CPU, but also the RAM can play an important role for the FPS, as we recently found out when testing the Patriot Viper Steel RGB for the first time with Cyberpunk as benchmark. In today’s review [...]
Patriot’s Viper Steel series has been around for a while and is probably known by most as a DDR4 secret tip for its good price/performance ratio without unnecessary bells and whistles. But now the RGB illumination of the universe is unstoppable and so the Viper Steel RGB series is launched today. At launch, there are models with clock speeds [...]
