No, today is not about real hardware that you can’t buy anyway! Today it’s about software for all AMD graphics card owners or those who want to become one, if they could, if there is something to buy again. The team around AMD’s Radeon driver development has always managed to get [...]

After the first versions with the new Navi21 XTXH chip appeared on the market, i.e. specially binned chips, there is also a new device ID in circulation, which we have now included in version 1.3.4 of the MorePowerTool. You need more power? Enjoy! Have fun with my overclocking and tweaking, the MPT [...]
As I could learn from meanwhile three contacts at the manufacturers and suppliers unanimously, the so-called Qualified Samples (QS) differ again from the now delivered chips for mass production (MP). So, as correctly reported yesterday, the GA102 will become the GA102-202 or GA102-302. The beta [...]
Driven by your own beta driver? NVIDIA had, after all, started adding ETH mining constraints to its Ampere ecosystem of hardware, firmware, and drivers with the GeForce RTX 3060. It should be insurmountable like the Berlin Wall. Well, yes, but their end is also well known. NVIDIA had torn down [...]
If you were able to purchase an RTX 3090 Founders Edition (FE) at launch for MSRP like I was, you can’t really complain. Ample performance for 144 FPS in most games even at the highest graphics settings and, if we’re being honest, the value increase of over 50%, naturally add to the [...]
We already know since my launch article “Intel Core i9-11900K, Core i7-11700K, Core i5-11600K and Core i9-10900K against Zen3 – Last man standing in silicon” that Intel’s 11th generation doesn’t act particularly squeamish at the power supply. But also not detailed [...]
My colleague Usman Pirzada from WCCFTECH noticed something interesting while writing an article about the GTC 2021 announcement, because the wording of the blog post seemed a bit too ominous to him. That’s because when he took a closer look at the flashing lights in the tweet, he realized [...]
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 [...]
The same applies as already in the review of the model for the GeForce RTX 3080 reference: The market of all-in-one water cooling solutions for graphics cards is, compared to CPU coolers, still plenty manageable, although the possible gain compared to air cooling is significantly higher. Higher [...]
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 [...]
At MyDrivers, it has been reported that customs authorities in Hong Kong have seized a total of 300 custom-built NVIDIA mining graphics cards. The graphics cards are marked as contraband units and were allegedly destined for Chinese mining farms. To that end, however, it’s also important to [...]
Yesterday the time had finally come and the first new BIOS versions with support for the extended address space went online. Now you can call it Resizeable BAR, SAM (Smart Access Memory), extended/large memory area or whatever, the system is always the same. This is nothing else than the clever [...]
Tomorrow afternoon I will finally publish a review of Intel’s latest CPU generation. However, the question of which high-end GPU I should use for the tests for the launch article arose beforehand. Since I wanted to test all four resolutions, i.e. from Ultra-HD down to 720p, I had to consider [...]
And the groundhog always says hello, or rather the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. The latest rumor is that NVIDIA has postponed the launch of the new card by one (more) month from April to May. Among others, ITHome also reports on this shift, but without going into more detail about possible reasons [...]
So what do NVIDIA Reflex and Boost really do in practice? Re-measurement in the self-experiment was announced, because I wanted to know it now nevertheless once more exactly. Blindly believing everything you read, hear or see is not mine either. Nvidia has more or less surprised us again and again [...]
In the meantime, in addition to the already extensively tested reference cards of AMD’s RX-6000 series, there are also various board partner cards – not for sale – which include the truly exceptional PowerColor RX 6900XT Liquid Devil. After some back and forth due to the [...]
With the Radeon RX 6700XT presented today, AMD rounds off the Big Navi portfolio downwards for the time being. The board partner cards may then be presented from tomorrow and there are already products in the pipeline for this as well. But more on that at the appropriate time. The Navi22 chip in [...]
Even though AMD has continued to compartmentalize the drivers, they haven’t touched the details for TGP, power levels, and fan control, as well as exposing many Wattman options. That’s where the MorePowerTool comes in (as always), with which you can still overclock and undervolt [...]
Once again a leak from TUM_APISAK and at the same time the information from the manufacturers to keep the ball currently a little bit flatter. But what’s new is that the specs of NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce RTX 3050 Ti and GeForce RTX 3050 graphics cards have surfaced, along with initial [...]
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 [...]
I was certainly a bit hasty with the announcement of the PowerColor RX 6900XT Liquid Devil at the time, because the card had already been here in the lab for some time and was also fully tested at that time. Since some coolers from EKWB (mine was not one of them) showed slight weaknesses in the [...]
The rumored gaming performance of the upcoming Radeon RX 6700XT fluctuates back and forth between a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and an RTX 3070, depending on the leak and benchmark, so it still remains a thick question mark. The same goes for the presence on the shelves, because although AMD promised a [...]
If one installs all BIOS updates for the motherboard and current drivers, then also with the older AMD graphics cards e.g. in the device manager and the properties the “large memory area” is indicated as available resource, which caused in the meantime many speculations whether and what [...]
Unofficially it went with the ComboAM4PI V2 1.2.0.1 already longer, but since 03.03.2021 AMD announced also officially the support of Zen2. Up to now, AMD required a current Zen3 CPU, a B550 or X570 motherboard and an updated BIOS. Or just a current Intel solution. Now also officially Zen2 and it [...]
The Radeon RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT have already been launched, the Radeon RX 6900 XT will follow on 08.12.2020. And what’s underneath? Nvidia blows out one card after the other with relish, because the GeForce RTX 3070 was already launched, the RTX 3060 Ti follows on 01.12.2020, the RTX 3060 [...]
