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 delivered with more extensive firmware. Furthermore I [...]
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 NVIDIA is probably testing two competing solutions [...]
Toshiba became KIOXIA and now the EXCERIA series is presented, which moves in three directions: the normal consumer, enthusiasts and the upgradeers with SATA option. Some time ago, the RC500 was introduced, which even uses the same controller and is also available in stores as an NVMe-SSD for the normal consumer. EXCERIA (without Plus) is now to [...]
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 simple super projection (and cut it a bit on the right [...]
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 purpose and finally optimized the whole thing [...]
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 to what extent these are really real pictures. As [...]
Today I took a look at the 1MORE Dual Driver ANC Pro, the latest Bluetooth neckband headphones from 1MORE. Actually, I have a rather tense relationship with in-ears, but this may also be due to the fact that most of the time the upholstery does not fit. But I’ll gladly be proven wrong. The 1MORE Dual Driver ANC Pro features the just hip [...]
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 halos. But the almost 270 Euros are a little steep [...]
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 course there is also something about AMD. In [...]
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 don't want to keep it from you, also to round [...]
Owning an Apple PC is usually quite an expensive affair and is usually celebrated almost religiously. But if you want to work with MacOS, perhaps to have an advantage over Windows PCs in one or the other application, or simply to be different, you don’t necessarily have to buy an Apple Mac Pro (2019). Fortunately there is the possibility to [...]
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, David Kumar, stated that next-generation GPU [...]
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 (AI, rendering). In addition, the layout of the [...]
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. This interesting entry by the people at Phoronix [...]
Even 3 years after release, the ML240L RGB is still one of the most popular (and cheapest) 240mm AiO watercoolers on the German market. Now Cooler Master is releasing a revised version with the V2, which is supposed to offer more performance for the same price in addition to a new look. If you want to refresh your memory, here is the link to the [...]
As always, the following is to be enjoyed with caution, but for the sake of completeness it should not be forgotten. Intel's 14nm Skylake architecture has now reached a peak with Comet Lake CPUs, requiring Intel to focus on the next-generation cores that will be deployed in upcoming desktop and mobile CPUs. Skylake is now a true generational [...]
Intel's first discrete graphics card with the Xe DG1 GPU was tested in the 3DMark benchmark and discovered by Von TUM_APISAK in the Firestrike benchmark. Here, the Xe DG1 shows a performance that surpasses all existing integrated GPUs, while it can, at least to some extent, match the discrete entry level cards of the competition. No more, but [...]
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 performance values that one could expect from this small [...]
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 is so beautifully called Creation are becoming [...]
NVIDIA’s Geforce RTX 2060 Super is, if you leave the unsupered version aside, the entry into NVIDIA’s new, colorful RTX world. Besides raytracing, I was especially interested in DLSS and the optical and Performance gain, which makes the “little” RTX mutate back and forth between a hare and a real playmate. While the [...]
