What brings, or could really bring PCI Express 4.0? Because there is not too much useful to read or see as a video about what can be really useful with graphics cards, especially not from everyday practice (outside the usual games). I tested for 5 hours with quite interesting insights. Guck command!
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 [...]
All the errors and confusions about the suddenly occurring value of the memory temperatures of AMD’s current graphics cards understandably lead to uncertainty among many users. Modern memory chips, such as Micron’s GDDR6 modules, allow you to read out the value of the chip temperature Tjunction, which is read out internally for special [...]
The largest possible CPU on the smallest possible motherboard, best still remove all the heat sinks of the voltage regulators and that's the basis for the next YouTube orgy. Of course, I couldn't completely escape my curiosity about the possible limits, but in the end one should also be aware of his responsibility as a medium and not panic the [...]
Sometimes the best methods fail on the largest surface and that's why I once looked more intensively at the optimal method. Now with "Try and Error" you can apply paste again and again and then measure it elaborately, because you don't see how the paste actually spreads with the cooler applied. Well, really not? Me already! The [...]
The asymmetrical arrangement of the chiplets on the one side and the I/O die on the other side of the Ryzen CPUs of the third generation has it quite in itself. In a first video I had already captured the heating of the CPU as a top view in a special infrared video, which you should have seen before for a better understanding. One of the findings [...]
Actually, I only wanted to compare three of the cheapest motherboards with an X570 chipset and a Ryzen 5 3600X, but I quickly found out that in the end you read out contradictory things that are not plausible and cannot be explained with logic. Therefore today the first attempt of a cause investigation and clarification takes place, however, with [...]
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...
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 [...]
What is really behind the information about Thermal Design Parameter (TDP) or GPU Power and Total Board Power (TBP) and Total Graphics Power (TGP), amD and Nvidia graphics cards, and who adheres to the self-imposed specifications? Here are the answers...
How loud are the fans on the chipset coolers for the new X570 chipset really? This is a question that I have also asked myself and the reason for a deeper research into what is really at stake with the supposed wind machines.
No, it has nothing to do with computer technology, not even removed with egg-T. But I was just fed up with looking at the same nonsense all the time and time. to have to read it. At some point, even the most patient consumer of the German quality media has reached a certain limit, where one simply wants to empty one's stomach contents. At that [...]
Today you get a little insight behind the scenes of an exemplary graphics card production at PC Partner. I have simply summarized the sequences and also joined in on the schematic appropriate. A must for any tech freak!
Important preliminary remarks and setup At the beginning, of course, there was the consideration of how I should measure the whole thing as reproducibly and plausibly as possible. Do I take a mix of multiple games or just one with consistent results and a longer runtime? In the end, after many attempts, I opted for the latter, because it also [...]
I didn't want to come to the readers martial with registry hack or something like that, but it's quite annoying when you get a Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 for testing, see the Reviewers Guide with the SPECapc for Solidworks 2017 and still get yourself manually to get a little bit of performance at all. The problem is Solidworks' internal [...]
Yes, I did it again and tested something from the stack of different pads today that fundamentally differs from the material that has already been tested before. It is a phase change pad, but this time made of lightly pressed nanopolymers and electrically non-conductive. For this purpose, it is thin enough and otherwise quite flexible to handle [...]
The country needs new benchmarks! Various games in several resolutions with the emphasis on gain by subvolts or an OC with a converted Radeon VII. We evaluate everything: Frame-Times. Percentile, variances, the smoothness of the gradient and much more than bar and curve charts as an overview or individual evaluation. There is nothing more to do [...]
The RTG (Radeon Tweaker Group) is a group of those who have already made it their mission since AMD's Polaris and later Also Vega to make some overvoltage and unnecessarily hot Radeon what one would like as an end customer: to a faster and significantly more efficient Graphics card.
If you want to do something new and right, then the effort in the preparation is often enough more than just immense. But analyses of heat generation on and the cooling performance of motherboards are to become one of our unique selling points for the upcoming reviews. How something like that can crash the weekend, I'll show you today.
It really scares me when a few pick-up clickers in the hunt for sales trophies just ignore rules and NDAs. That's why I'm posting something now. Yes, I'll just do it now. But what I'm showing you has no one else, so it doesn't even hurt anyone. I tease the fat chip a little with the needle. Curious? Then look in!
