The market for all-in-one water cooling solutions for graphics cards is still abundantly manageable compared to CPU coolers, although the potential gain over air cooling is significantly higher. Higher boost steps and lower operating noise are only part of the reward, because all other components [...]

Graphic Cards
For some time now, a separate encoding chip, which Nvidia NvEnc has christened Nvidia NvEnc, has been used in many NVIDIA graphics cards. This is a real hardware solution that can convert videos quite efficiently. Currently the common codecs H.264 and H.265 as well as resolutions up to 8K are [...]
The latest rumor comes from the Chinese technology company FCPOWERUP, known for its reports on power supplies, which has stated in an article that NVIDIA will use a new power supply interface for its next-generation gaming product line. I will comment on this in a moment, but first of all I want to [...]
What does NVIDIA have to do with the new consoles from Sony and Microsoft? physically nothing at first, because this playground belongs to AMD at the moment. But what is driving NVIDIA’s current and expected stock prices? many analysts now expect this development to trigger a GPU upgrade [...]
Before I act as a (future) painter and create a possible package including the dimensions known so far, we should review the rumors and leaks of the last days. Let’s take the usually well-informed Kopite7kimi at the word leak, who mentioned a tape-out of the GA102 chip on Samsung and not TSMC [...]
Especially after the tests of the B550 motherboards, the justified question about the problem with the split PCIe 4.0 ports naturally arises. PCIe 4.0 with 16 or 8x connection should not show any (serious) difference together with the suitable (AMD) graphics card. But what about the fallback [...]
About two days ago, the news went through the media that Galax had released a GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra, which was equipped with a new TU106-125 instead of the small TU117-300. With it, this would be also the first physically existing RTX-castrate, that was sighted on the market. So I started looking [...]
Yes, the Red BIOS Editor (RBE) has once again undergone a major upgrade, as hellm has now also unlocked the DRAM and made it fully accessible. The depth of the settings is almost overwhelming and there is probably no value from the JEDEC specifications that cannot be changed by a single entry in a [...]
It’s no secret that the well-known Twitter-Leaker _rogame now runs his own website with hardwareleaks.com that I also visit there from time to time, certainly not. Based on the latest news about a new navi entry in Apple’s drivers for the upcoming macOS 11 “Big Sur”, which [...]
I had already reported a few things about NVIDIA’s new generation of Ampere cards in several articles and read the feedback on them. Interesting there were especially the extrapolations of the number of possible CUDA cores, where all comparisons to Turing regarding performance and efficiency [...]
The classic soundcard is dead, long live the classic soundcard? Somehow it is and I would like to explain it again with a longer self-experiment. I myself criticize the headphone outputs of the onboard sound solutions often enough and am always glad when motherboard manufacturers have followed the [...]
The problem here, as always, is of course the desire, ability and permission to write details. The fact that I took myself out of the race for a few days is probably also due to the fact that a lot of things have become a very difficult balancing act and tightrope walk. To publish unreflectedly [...]
We’ve updated the RBE once again, and with version 1.04 we’ve made a new installation available for download. Especially the handling of larger BIOS files and those that were not read with GPU-Z was fixed. This update has proven to be necessary, as many models have been and are now [...]
Recently, we were able to admire several leaked pictures of a cooler for the new GeForce RTX 3080, which apparently showed us the use of a normal heatsink in combination with four thick copper composite heatpipes. So far, so delicious and also unfortunately incomplete. Because I also learned that [...]
Well, meanwhile there are several leaks of “pre-release” models of the upcoming GeForce RTX 3080, but I don’t really trust the roast published here, because I just assume design validation samples. And before I think about how to explain the 350 watts to you, I have created a [...]
Our forum user casi30 has created an optimization guide for us, which should make the impossible possible, especially since the combination as CPU and GPU is already quite sporty. He cools an AMD Ryzen R7 3800X with the included Wraith Prism, runs a reference model of the Radeon RX 5700 for this [...]
Recently I had already posted some information about the new graphics card generation from NVIDIA and also processed it in the video, but I was still a little bit reserved concerning the currently readable images of the RTX 3080 Founders Edition (FE). I first wanted to wait for confirmation if and [...]
I had actually been thinking about an Asus ZenScreen in the same size, because I would have liked to have had a portable monitor for both the smartphone and the notebook. But this monitor doesn’t have an hour in hands-on mode, because it unfortunately had a pretty good reflection and extreme [...]
Today I’m in test stress for the next review and just recorded my information and thoughts as a speech, so to speak the word for Sunday, only a little earlier. I have more information about the first three new amp graphic cards, the memory and the power consumption including cooling. And of [...]
Besides our MorePowerTool and the RBE (Red BIOS Editor), as well as the required third party files for flashing the supported BIOSes under Windows, there is now a very elegant method for Linux. Patrick Schur has published AMD's mysterious atitool on Github and recently updated it again, so I [...]
AMD has confirmed that the RDNA 2 'Big Nav' GPU on Radeon RX graphics cards for the PC platform will come before next-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft. This confirmation was given by AMD at the Bank of America 2020 Securities global technology conference, where AMD's CFO [...]
Update from 14.08.2023 Here is a newer review: Roundup 2023 of current workstation graphics cards from AMD and NVIDIA – How does the Radeon Pro W7000 series fare against Ada and Ampere? Update from 03.06.2020 Further benchmarks have been added, especially considering hardware acceleration [...]
Komachi has struck again. For example, a mysterious AMD RDNA 2 GPU has been discovered in the latest Linux patches, and there is much speculation that this could finally be the long-awaited Big Navi GPU for the next generation Radeon RX graphics cards that all AMD enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting [...]
Intel's Phantom Canyon NUC 11 Extreme, which will use the next generation of next-generation 10nm Tiger Lake CPUs, has now been sighted in 3DMark for the first time and Rogame's result has been released on Hardware Leaks. This news not only reveals the specifications, but also the [...]
After I could finally put the Workstation Graphics Card Charts 2020 online with far more than 200 hours of pure testing time, I now have to work on the rest, which, I honestly admit, I always put off a bit. Because the boundaries between what you can consider a classic workstation scenario and what [...]
