Today we continue with our Z690 motherboard reviews, with the Asus Maximus Z690 Apex. Not only the naming convention has changed compared to the predecessor models, because besides DDR5, PCIe 5.0 and the LGA1700 socket, there are unfortunately also a few teething troubles that I would like to address in advance, if not have to. Preface: Silicon [...]

Actually, everyone had already checked off the Ampere generation, but then came CES 2022 and Jensen with the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. One can really argue about the sense or nonsense of this card in the full version of the GA102 and the high-energy implementation, but it exists and would like to be tested and evaluated. And while we are at it, this [...]

With the XP, Roccat sends the latest offspring of the Kone series into the race. The mouse is equipped with the 19,000 DPI Owl-Eye sensor, has 15 buttons + Easy-Shift thumb button and now also has the colorful AIMO 3D RGB lighting on board. Read what else the rodent can do and how it performs in practice in our review. That ROCCAT’s latest [...]
We recently already tested the Dominator Platinum RGB modules from Corsair, but not yet in the SKU with 6200 Mbps and Hynix M-Die ICs. Today, that is changing. Besides the usual tests, a teardown and overclocking, we also compare the modules with the mentioned Samsung B-Die based variant and RAM sticks from other manufacturers, but with identical [...]
I admit that the test today was mainly due to my curiosity to see how the new measuring station performs in practice. Furthermore, the 99 euro ComfoBuds Mini from 1MORE are not pure in-ears (which I don’t like at all), but rather loose-fitting buds where you don’t have to fuss too much with adjusting all the silicone plugs. 1MORE [...]

Six days before the GDC keynote, AMD is now releasing RSR, i.e. the Radeon Super Sampling based on Fidelity FX Super Sampling, to the gaming world today and it will be interesting to test this new implementation in practice soon. In [...]

Can Intel’s Xe Max, i.e. our dedicated DG1 card in the form of the GUNNIR Iris Xe MAX Index V2, actually do light workstation stuff? You don’t have to test Office application, for that it’s quite enough. But what about lighter work in the productive field, which can still be done quite well with AMD’s Radeon Pro W6400, for [...]
The occasion is sad enough, but today I would like to let my friend Yuri speak, who despite the siege and large-scale destruction of his hometown Kharkiv by the fascist invaders under the orders of Putin has not lost his courage. He has taken the time, despite all adverse circumstances and dangers, to address to you, as readers of this site and [...]
Let’s assume we purchase a new laptop and naturally want to treat it to nothing but the best. And we blindly trust the suppliers’ marketing and various forum reports about how great liquid metal performs in laptops. With purchase prices around 1000 euros and more, you don’t want to splurge. The 80 euro surcharge is no longer an [...]
