Finally, an LG OLED panel in ultrawide 3440 x 1440p format, but this time on 34 inches. ASUS ROG is launching the Swift PG34WCDM onto the market. I was lucky enough to be able to test the monitor before the official launch. Unfortunately, the PG34WCDM still has the old RWBG subpixel layout and not [...]

I’ve already tested a few RTX 4070 Ti Super cards, but today it’s the KFA2 GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super EX Gamer 16 GB, which, in addition to ARGB, also wants to score points with its price of currently just under 900 euros. This is currently only 10 euros above the RRP, but it is an OC [...]
RDNA3 has been on the market for some time and the story seemed to be completely over. But one card is still possible and so today AMD is pushing a card that was originally intended for system integrators into the retail market with a slight delay. The “launch” is somewhat strange in [...]
Laptops need more and more power to perform more intensive tasks. Especially when you’re on the go to get your work done, it can sometimes get very heavy and tiring. Thanks to generative AI and hybrid work environments, such tasks can be handled better and better and with NVIDIA’s new [...]
Modders have once again set about modifying the older generation GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card from NVIDIA. This graphics card was originally released with 8GB of VRAM, but the modders have successfully upgraded it to 16GB. I have also linked a video at the end. The GeForce RTX 2080 was originally [...]
You can’t leak something that’s already available and you can’t test something that can’t be obtained at short notice. So my explicit thanks go to PCGH, who kindly made their double bunny available to me, as my pulsed graphics hopper was once again stuck in customs. And my [...]
If the adapter (doesn’t) bend and the power supply cable collides with the side of the housing, then good advice is often expensive. Especially afterwards. It is precisely for such cases that be quiet! offers a special 90° angle cable designed to avoid this problem. Today’s test will [...]
Apparently, AMD is not willing to wait for the successful implementation of the next generation RDNA 4 GPU in Linux. The company has recently released new patches that provide initial support for the architecture’s PSP (Platform Security Processor). PSP, which stands for “Platform [...]
AMD’s Anti-Lag technology is AMD’s answer to NVIDIA’s Reflex. Both technologies aim to reduce input lag and improve system latency. These features are especially important when playing games with frame generation technologies such as AMD FSR 3 and NVIDIA DLSS 3. AMD’s [...]
Today’s article comes from our community member big-maec and it shows how the community is also keen to experiment with various pads. The article will also show that sometimes it takes a little more work to really fix a problem permanently. The user’s problem child this time was the [...]
It is common practice to migrate codebases from one project or programming language to another, as this allows developers to access a wider range of features and simplifies maintenance. In this case, however, there is an interesting development as Team Red has apparently accelerated its efforts to [...]
Some things are accidental discoveries and are actually so trivial that nobody even bothers to question the current flows in the PC and, above all, to measure them. We only ever measure the 12-volt rails and are happy. But with connectors such as the 12VHPWR or 12V2x6 over 6+2 pin, the 8-pin EPS [...]
LG’s roadmap has enormous significance for the display industry, as the company has a significant influence on market trends. In 2024, LG plans to drive the markets forward with the refinement of existing technologies and the introduction of new customized solutions for specific target groups [...]
Xiaomi may not have made much progress in the PC industry, but it remains committed to the sector. A notable example of this is the launch of a “decent” AMD Ryzen “Phoenix” APU laptop with amazing capabilities. In addition, the company has unveiled the new Redmi G Pro gaming [...]
The ASUS ROG series enjoys great popularity due to its performance, appealing design and user-oriented features. The new ROG STRIX XG259QNS is no exception and is aimed at “hardcore gamers” who want to maximize their in-game performance by using the equipment they already have. The [...]
I’ve been officially testing monitors at Igor’sLab for almost two years now. I started out quite rudimentary with a very cheap colorimeter, the SpyderX and a mixture of DisplayCal and the SpyderX software. Everyone starts small, of course. The whole thing then developed quite quickly [...]
In the absence of genuine AAA titles, I’ve tried squeezing some form of light relief into my stressful daily grind amidst stacks of graphics cards and other power-hungry gadgets. “RoboCop: Rogue City”, the latest endeavor meant to overshadow the golden days of PC gaming, turns out [...]
Our colleagues at WccfTech had the pleasure of talking to NVIDA and it turned out that the new GeForce RTX 3050 GPU has been optimized for budget PC gamers and thus extends the RTX experience (within this very narrow corset) to a broad player base. With 6 GB of memory, it should make functions such [...]
Today marks the last round of the green super upgrade weeks and with the new GeForce RTX 4080 Super, there is a chip that is on the one hand more of the same and yet is supposed to be something different. With the RRP of 1109 euros (old model 1469 euros), the company naturally wants to create a [...]
ASUS has unveiled an extension to the Noctua edition range of GeForce RTX 30 and RTX 40 series GPUs to coincide with today’s launch at 3pm. The next GPU is based on NVIDIA’s flagship RTX-40 SUPER cards, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER. Although it is not in today’s test, two other [...]
Samsung plans to showcase its next-generation GDDR7 memory at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuit Conference 2024 in San Francisco next month. The company will hold a session titled “A 16Gb 37 Gb/s GDDR7 DRAM with PAM3 Optimized TRX Equalization and ZQ Calibration” to showcase [...]
Please don’t panic again, but the new adapter is so fragile that quality management and controls can’t be tough enough to ensure safe operation. And since there will be no media launch of the GeForce RTX 4080 Super tomorrow and no results can be published until the day after tomorrow [...]
The open-source RADV Vulkan driver has been developed to take a strong competitive position in terms of hardware support, continuous optimization and bug fixes. Recently, extensive optimizations have been made to the RADV Vulkan driver, resulting in a significant increase in ray tracing performance [...]
Today I was supposed to launch an OC card at 3 pm, but unfortunately FedEx prevented that (once again). The card only arrived after traveling the world for over a week. This is exactly why we now have Plan G like Gainward and thus the RTX 4070 Ti Super Panther OC 16 GB MSRP as a replacement [...]
WITH the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Lightning Z, MSI has once again made a real catch. This is because there is a significant increase compared to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio, which has already been tested. Our detailed test...
