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 [...]
Powercolor sets a decent fragrance brand with the RX 5700 XT Red Devil - both in terms of performance and the massive cooler as well as in terms of price. There is also a Silent BIOS that really honors its name. But I don't want to spoil, I want to test. So it's best to read for yourself.
The MSI RX 5700 Evoke OC Edition was deliberately placed by MSI below the Gaming and Gaming X models in order to be able to operate significantly cheaper on the market. In and of itself, such an endeavour is also very praiseworthy, whereby of course it always depends on where the manufacturer has set the red pen and has to save in order to really [...]
With our tests, I can now finally use the new laboratory, which makes many things easier and better for me. But we will write a walkthrough article in due time. By the way, I would like to point out already at the beginning that I was (and am) in connection with MSI in the course of the tests concerning a modified BIOS with lower fan speeds. But [...]
We are happy that our community member hellm has finished the software MorePowerTool (MPT for short) for the release and that we can offer this software here on our RTG page exclusively for download as well as the direct support in the forum. For the installation and use of the software you have to follow some hints and rules, which we would like [...]
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.
A few years ago, the trend of RGB illuminated components emerged. It looks good, is flexible and varied, you can make your beloved PC shine in versatile colors and patterns. Of course, the well-known hardware manufacturers did not miss the opportunity to retain customers with their own connections, pin-outs and software.
Catch the DAU! Why does a compensating container made of acrylic break when you clean it with alcohol, or the radiator cover, does it…
The explanation and macro videos for cause and effect are available in the first DAU advertising show. So folks, please don't imitate, but turn on and look!
Alphacool and the GPX water blocks are such a thing that the manufacturer really had to redefine. This is exactly where the completely new Aurora GPX is going to start, because the new cooling design will not only be available for Navi. But also and that's exactly why I wanted to know more. Above all, I am interested in what has changed in the [...]
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 [...]
Paste is not the same as paste! With so many products on the market, of course, there is also the variety and thus the agony of choice. Their exact composition is in almost every case a well-kept secret, but the margin is not so great and the most important components could usually even be googled. Almost all pastes for CPUs are designed for a [...]
This step today has been hinted at for a long time for the attentive observer, but many things should always be approached with care and as unemotionally as possible, but with a long-term, strategic goal. It's no different with the media than in private life, because at some point you just realize that you don't really feel comfortable in [...]
A USB sound solution with a decent DAC, microphone input and extra headphone amplifier for less than 30 euros? Dreaming on, I thought until I found exactly that here: the Sharkoon Gaming DAC Pro S. Now, of course, Sharkoon hasn't reinvented the audio navel of the world, but has fished an OEM on land that has a remarkable combination of DAC and [...]
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...
During our test of the Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT, we had already made an initial comparison to present the capabilities of AMD RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening) technology, which allows image playback to be scaled up as well as in the native definition. Improved. We have also promised to examine the result more closely with an HDMI grabber, the only [...]
To avoid misunderstandings, Ryzen 3000 will also run on older motherboards after BIOS updates, just not with PCIE 4.0 and often not quite as efficient. AmD therefore admonishes the board manufacturers not only to hide power consumption values in the CPU lists, but also to adjust the limitation to the possible OC or to explicitly exclude this [...]
When testing the new AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs, we found a significant difference in write rates between the R9 3900X and the R7 3700X in the aidA64 storage benchmarks. After initial astonishment and theoretical assumptions, AMD has now confirmed that it is indeed a conscious choice of architecture.
In the meantime, some test samples have arrived in the laboratory and are just waiting for the test. But it's like the doctor, you always have to come nicely early and then still wait nicely until the sister Helga calls you in. And the order is decided by the Uncle Doctor anyway....
