I remember it as if it were yesterday. It was on 21.07.2007 and I had bought myself directly to the release Bioshock. And then experienced the first real Bioshock at home, because the game just didn't want to run my then ATI X850 XT. And today? Does an integrated graphic even achieve the maximum drone? That's what I tested...

In the last few days it was already rushing in the leaf forest, and so much information or many rumours have already been chewed extensively before, again and back. Apart from the fact that I can also confirm one of them, there are of course other things from the technical field that should be quite interesting, because you could not read them in [...]
With an RRP of 249 USD and a street price of approx. The 1More Triple Driver plays 160 Euros in the league of the beautiful and the sound rich, at least in terms of price. Today's test has to prove whether this will be the same with the acoustic equivalent...
Ubisoft announced the latest installment of the Far Cry series at The Game Awards today. The next chapter, "Far Cry New Dawn," will be published on May 15. February 2019 will be released and will take players into a depressing, post-apocalyptic world. More information, a nice trailer and pictures can be found here...
One finds again and again possibilities to further improve a product that is good in itself and to punish the supposed greed of the accountants with only a few cents of material use nonchalantly. Far more than 90°C below the memory you don't have to find really nice now, but why did the dear Lord God create the so-called thermal guide pads [...]
You know and hate it, the beloved moment when a power supply suddenly switches off in the middle of the game, even though it is new and shows no other abnormalities. The annoyance of the users becomes even greater if one believes that the power supply size has also been calculated correctly. But is that enough for the manufacturers of graphics [...]
The fact that I prefer to play with my good stereo headphones has now certainly been talked about. That I used a good stand microphone for communication so far, perhaps less. Unfortunately, nomen est omen applies, because it stands on the desktop and thus automatically also usually grandiosely in the way. With the Yeticaster, a bundle from the [...]
I had already teased this follow-up in the launch article for the Radeon RX 590 and thus also promised the readers, only such a cluster of never-ending measuring series then takes a little longer than expected. After a few hours, I stopped counting how many times I was subvolting towards the desktop or the Back/Greyscreen i crashed. But in the end [...]
White egg in front of white wall? I know I don't do myself any good in advance, if I have to start photographing and releasing all the white components individually. Let's see what comes out of it and how much time goes flute for it again. The ulterior motive for this special build, however, is quite simple, if I may say so. Play instinct [...]
Sennheiser also makes in gaming headsets. Well, this realization is not so new, but after all the tests of the last few months, this specimen was a very welcome change. After all, we are not in the double-digit range, where most of the usual suspects are found, but very clearly above them. With approx. Sennheiser can also pay the GSP 550 quite [...]
Division of labour is a nice thing, especially when your system has to be "persuaded" manually for the 1809 update of Windows and you are unfortunately not one of those who have been pampered with pre-keys. But better late than never and together with colleagues, working and playing is twice as much fun. This is written by someone who [...]
RGB lettering on top? Has everyone. A nice RGB logo in the backplate? Yawn. Illuminated RGB fans? There are already. But what about real light effects on the rotor blades? Some people who are looking for the ultimate difference and would like to be paralyzed by the stroboscope effect will now sharpen their ears. At least that's what she must [...]
The transition to an improved manufacturing process (12nm FinFET) is also intended to breathe new life into Polaris before retirement. However, with regard to Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1060, the goal has been to use the newly acquired reserves exclusively for clock increases and not to increase efficiency with the same performance, which is a pity [...]
Another Nvidia news? If you only ask long enough, the information condenses further and further and in the end everything merges into a beautiful picture. And it turns out that many are right, if only indirectly. Because the failures can not only be fixed on a single reason, but show very nicely what can happen in sum if one does not take enough [...]
Not quite cheap, but actually worth every penny. At least you can come to this conclusion if you used the Beyerdynamic Aventho Wireless quite intensively over a long period of time. In the end, today's test also reflects my own user and connoisseur behaviour, even if I of course also take the usual defoliations and measurements for the article [...]
AmD's second-generation Threadripper processors offered the WX series affordable server power for the first time, even for consumers and (semi-)professional users. Content creator. This new series was led by the almost bestial-looking 32-core / 64-thread model Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX. This 1800-euro processor set new records for multi [...]
You can drive it with the power limit up to the maximum allowed 380 watts, or sit back relaxed in noble modesty. And always with the knowledge that the last watt from the can only leads to more heat and noise, but not really to more gaming performance. And so PNY runs the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XLR8 factory with 260 watts and lays out the rest of the [...]
Interestingly, the GeForce RTX 2070 Founders Edition, which has already been tested today, is not the object on which the chip giant is focusing its new focus. In order to make the GeForce RTX 2070 quite tasty for the buyer, this time the board partners have to judge it with their not overclocked models. Nvidia's price target is an RRP of 519 [...]

Important preliminary remarks Why am I starting so mystical this time? The reason is the availability of the test pattern – or rather – its temporary unavailability. According to Nvidia, we should also get a sample of the GeForce RTX 2070 last week in the form of a board partner card for our test, but unfortunately in the end it went a [...]
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 [...]
