The ELGATO Stream Deck enjoys a certain reputation and belongs for many streamers to the equipment like the Amen in the church. Over the years, the small shortcut tool with its LCD buttons has become a comprehensive multifunctional tool. The latest version, Stream Deck+, adds a touchscreen display and four mechanical knobs. We want to find out in [...]

Today we can finally present the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Founders Edition (FE) including all technical details and the long-awaited benchmarks, because the suspense curve was already plenty big. Even though NVIDIA actually sees the card as the successor to the GeForce RTX 3080, it is still a challenge to the RTX 3090 and especially to the GeForce [...]
The 12VHPWR adapter for the GeForce RTX 4090 is unfortunately already a kind of running gag and so the topic is meanwhile beaten by all more or less well-informed media. A little unemotional reappraisal would certainly not be a bad idea to calm heated tempers and put the whole thing back on its feet. Therefore, today’s article is not only an [...]
We have already reported in detail about NVIDIA’s DLSS 3.0 and the option to generate and insert additional frames via frame generation. AMD had recently announced a similar feature and FSR 3.0 for next year. And interestingly enough, owners of a GeForce RTX 4090 and soon also the RTX 4080 can test exactly that right now, because we found in [...]
Since many users and especially YouTubers as well as twitchers still take the values of tools like the MSI Afterburner or AMD’s Radeon software for the power consumption of their graphics card at face value, I have to add something. The vast amount of videos that are supposed to show how much more “economical” graphics card A is [...]
Almost a quarter of a year ago, we reviewed the first small system with a Ryzen 5000 CPU from Beelink, and now they are going one better. Instead of a Ryzen 5 5600H, however, the little twin Ryzen 5 5560U is installed here, the rest remains identical. Since it is the same mini-PC 1:1 apart from the processor, I won’t go into all the [...]
Yes, NZXT now also has monitors in its own product portfolio, and we’ll take a close look at one of them today. It is the 24.5″ Full HD NZXT Canvas. It comes with an IPS panel and a refresh rate of 240 Hz. This also makes it clear which target group NZXT wants to address with it. The eSports players, or those who want to be. Even [...]
In order to keep the speculation factor as low as possible on the one hand and not to violate one of the NDAs at the same time, I have to elaborate a bit more this time. The real problem, however, was the extremely different puzzle pieces from both manufacturers in various announcements, which doesn’t exactly simplify a preview of raster [...]

In view of the “measurements” with thermal imaging cameras or equivalent smartphones that have appeared again and again lately, I want to bring last year’s article forward again today to show you the complexity of the matter and to explain why measurement is not the same as colorful imaging. One can “measure” more [...]
Many people are skeptical about Kickstarter projects. But you can certainly have good ideas, even if you don’t yet have a reputation and lack start-up capital. Maono translates as “vision” and the young company has set the ambitious goal of gaining a foothold in the competitive hi-fi market with high-quality products. After a few [...]
Let’s be honest: is there currently an SSD with 2 TB of storage available for under 50 Euros? If it were up to certain eBay “top sellers,” it probably would. This contradicts the search results in reputable stores, but maybe the little technology miracle is taking place just outside of the usual big online shops. For example, if [...]
The GeForce RTX 4090 has been launched, and with the 12VHPWR port, we’ll have to see how it develops, and that’s exactly why we’re turning to the pleasant side of life today. It would be boring to just write about the adapter all the time. And those who are really fluid could also afford the MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X [...]
First there were bent cables, then annoyed buyers of the at least 2000 euro expensive NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, no matter which model or manufacturer. The manufacturer of the 4-pin adapter from 12VHPWR to 4x 8-pin for older power supplies was also careless. And, of course, we learned something once again in the course of our investigations. Since [...]
We know it from Hollywood, from game development and even from the automotive industry: Successful products are recast as long as they can be sold at a profit. Sometimes more and sometimes less successfully, input devices are also refreshed with marginal changes, but often the devil is in the details. Corsair tweaks several things on the KATAR [...]
Those who are now beating up on the new 12VHPWR (although I don’t really like the part either) may generate nice traffic with it, but they simply haven’t recognized the actual problem with the supposedly fire-hazardous and melting connections or cables. Even if certain YouTube celebrities are of a different opinion because they seem to [...]
With the CH331, COOLER MASTER positions another inexpensive headset in the very competitive budget range. The 45€ device is sent into the ring with decent workmanship and essential features. We want to find out in the test whether it is simply cheap or actually worth the price. Headsets in the €50 range are a dime a dozen, and in times where even [...]
So far, we’ve basically only looked at high-end gaming or a content creator monitor. We have not yet tested a pure office monitor. So today is the day. The MSI Modern MD272QP from 2021 faces our test program. It is indeed – a pure office monitor, as you can find it in almost every office. Expectations should not be too high now [...]
Today I will introduce you to the new SDR measurement standard for our monitor tests regarding color performance. Regarding HDR, there will be a separate article. Nevertheless, from now on it’s “We used the Calman color calibration software from Portrait Displays.” All previous monitor tests are still valid. The results were/are [...]
With Raptor Lake, Intel now also ends the era of monolithic processors. This of course comes with another decent performance boost and it will be the purpose of this review to compare the new CPUs with AMD’s new Ryzen 7000 family. That is definitely worthwhile, because Intel would quite like to have the so-called gaming crown back. The [...]
