After a longer abstinence here, at least with the articles, I am now back with a small Intel ARC special. The cards have a niche existence, which is on the one hand due to the rather poor availability, especially of custom models, but also due to the rather mixed tests of the cards after their release in November, where the cards showed weaknesses [...]

Anyone who buys a new AMD Ryzen 7000, no matter which model, will certainly curse the high temperatures and thus also get annoyed about the usually high power consumption under full load. However, it is very easy to remedy the situation if you know how and also observe a few basics so that the system really remains stable. The reason that the [...]
What actually happens when you forcefully and cunningly slow down a GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, which swallows up to 500 watts in ultra HD, to 300 watts? With only 60% of the consumed power, the question arises how many percentage points of performance are lost when 40 percentage points less energy is needed. Where does it place its self in the end as [...]

Would you like a little more or a little less? The overclocking limit of the Radeon RX 6800 XT isn’t particularly large, so the cheaper RX 6800 already looks much more interesting. But you won’t be able to pull out any trees here either, because AMD is now following the example of NVIDIA and is completely sealed off with the [...]
In the summer of 2017, AMD introduced the GCN 5 alias “Vega” graphics cards, which, after some delay, were finally intended to knock Nvidia’s fast and economical Pascal cards off the throne. Despite the nearly 500 mm2 chip and a 2048-bit wide HBM2 memory interface, the attack failed miserably. The cards were very power-hungry and [...]
To understand the meaning of it all, you should read my article "Radeon RX 5600 XT with new BIOS and stable RAM without Flash! AMD Limits and Benchmark". Because there I describe very precisely how AMD with the new BIOS actually presses the entire overclocking margin of the card into the factory settings in order to be able to offer 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.
