Yesterday I had already put the new Radeon Pro W5700 through its paces in the launch article “AMD Radeon Pro W5700 Review – price and performance are right, but it’s enough for the Quadro RTX 4000?“, but I was still unclear where the advantage of the new test platform with the Ryzen 9 3950X including X570 motherboard and [...]

With the AMD Radeon Pro W5700 introduced today, Navi has finally arrived in the affordable workstation sector. Why one uses only the smaller chip with 36 Compute Units (CU) and thus 2304 shaders instead of the full 40 CUs, probably only AMD knows. After all one can offer such a card with 150 watts GPU power (not board power), which one has trimmed [...]
Intel's NUC (Next Unit of Computing) is a mini barebone PC with laptop hardware to equip an extremely compact computer with powerful hardware. Only SSD and RAM need to be retrofitted by the user to have a full computer. Due to the compact dimensions of 117 x 112 x 36mm or 117 x 112 x 51mm, the corresponding cooling solution of the NUC is [...]
Toshiba recently introduced the RC500, a non-consumer-only NVMe SSD, which is now available in stores. The M.2-2280 form factor makes it suitable for most of the more up-to-date motherboards and the street price of around 80 euros from is quite interesting for some upgraders who don't want or can swing the big ball right away. Toshiba uses its [...]
I just had to separate the tests because the MSI GTX 1660 Super Gaming X is different from the three "normal" test patterns. Apart from the price of 280 Euros, for which you can get a simple knitted and unsuperted Ti with more shaders, MSI has really cut the sandbox shovel and tried to bake the biggest cake. Then you have even 10 watts [...]
Nvidia becomes the new super-company and Master Jensen gallantly gives the Superman. Because from today it will be even more upand and in between. The Over-GeForce GTX 1660 Super, like its slower sister, is based on the TU116, more precisely the TU116-300, an already known graphics processor that supports Turing's improved shaders, new cache [...]
Sometimes you think you’re in the wrong movie and then you wonder what a minute’s life costs. Well, I could have guessed it and I was already on the right track on Sunday, but had discarded the right idea by wrong trust in the logic of the developers. The review of the three X570 motherboards had to be done without the Asus TUF Gaming [...]
The way is the goal, but you could also say abbreviated learning curve. The Alphacool ice block XPX Aurora Pro Plexi Digital RGB is certainly such a typical product for this genre, because it combines at the end a probably previously underestimated Alphacool ice block XPX Pro 1U with addressable RGB and a modified exterior. This may well please if [...]
Powercolor showed us the way with the Silent-BIOS, today we follow with a tutorial for everyone that is suitable for everyday use: no more BIOS flashing and no more Wattman tricks, but a comprehensible manual that is easy to implement with our free MorePowerTool...
What’s the best way to annoy your competitors? By impressively showing who has the longest and greatest. And if you are a bit more subdued when it comes to price and can score points with features, then a product almost sells itself. Too much praise in advance? Honour to whom honour is due, but you’re right. That should be included in [...]
MSI didn't crack at the self-interpretation of the GeForce RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio, but probably used the unsuperrated model and took over almost everything 1:1, which was by no means a bad idea. An extremely potent cooler, which also works on the in-house RTX 2080 Ti, meets an above-average board, so this remains the case with the [...]
For a change, a Radeon in the Radeon Tweaker Group RTG does not necessarily play the main role, but it is also the AMD graphics. In this article, however, it's all about the device itself, the HP Spectre x360 15 with an Intel i7-8705G and the said Radeon RX Vega M GL.
With the GeForce RTX 2080 Super, Nvidia continues on the path taken to upgrade all the current GeForce RTX once again and to replace the "older" cards step by step. In terms of performance, these are certainly measurable steps, but the potential buyer will certainly not get these performance gains at zero cost either. But we will write [...]
This step has been indicated to the attentive visitor for quite some time, but many things should always be approached with caution and as emotionless as possible, but with a long-term, strategic goal. It’s no different with the media than it is in private life, because at some point you simply realize that you no longer really feel [...]
I was looking forward to the respective interpretation of the board partner cards for the GeForce RTX 2060 Super and today I just start with an MSI RTX 2060 Gaming X, because it was the first card to arrive in the lab. Exactly and thoroughly with Tear Down as always...
