After many measurement series and invested hours, the article about the power consumption of the Ryzen 9 3950X was (just) finished. The CPU, which AMD collected again this morning by courier for the rotation between the editorial staffs, was even somewhat warm, because I had to break off the tests now unfortunately. For this reason, there will be [...]

Between all the workstation benchmarks, which are really real hour eaters every time, I thought what would happen if you let go of these bolides on Crysis from 2007. Is there finally something going on in Ultra-HD? Well, the whole thing is a little decadent, of course, but why not? DirectX10 is nams so long ago and what are 12 years in IT to [...]
What is the best way to test graphics cards in the workstation area? Of course with appropriate software and not just any dead-optimized synthetics. But it's not just the software that decides, but also the hardware. That's exactly where I started again and thought long beforehand. In the end, because the fastest CPU per thread is also [...]
Today we are testing a Palit GeForce RTX 2070 Super Jetstream, which should not be confused with the well-known RTX 2070 SuperJetsream. The poor manufacturer now suffers a little from Nvidia’s all-encompassing general super-super-supersification and many miserly bargains quickly turn out to be super-confusion. But since the long-established [...]
Good and cheap? With Amazon bargains in this rather unknown provider one should be quite careful and so I have also thought several times to buy the sSD tested today in the first place. A fast 1-TB-NVMe for less than 120 Euros is not overpriced apart from Crucial's usual price breakers and the product description was also rather positive. In [...]
Gainward would like to prove to us that RTX is also cheap with the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Ghost. Today’s test will have to show us whether the concept of the very cost-effectively constructed card can work. The Nvidia-owned RTX alternatives without super in the appendix are slowly becoming rarer and those who buy new will probably have to [...]
Many people were certainly annoyed by the somewhat sparse sampling, even those who had expected me to take a complete test at the launch. The fact that this was not possible may also be due to AMD's new sampling strategy and the fact that none of the dealers have a CPU before the 25.11. was allowed to give. Genereral verdongelung on all fronts [...]
Anyone who has followed igorsLAB closely over the last few months will certainly have noticed the heat conductive pads on which I have been weakening for a long time. At the latest since Nvidia’s memory fiasco with the RTX 2080 Ti, the more or less funny Space Invaders and the explanation search, we now also know what we can do to prevent [...]
Toshiba recently introduced the RC500, a non-consumer-only NVMe SSD, which is now available in stores. The M.2-2280 form factor makes it suitable for most of the more up-to-date motherboards and the street price of around 80 euros from is quite interesting for some upgraders who don't want or can swing the big ball right away. Toshiba uses its [...]
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 [...]
It's seemingly en vogue to tear up and tear up everything that's been on offer as part of the NfS series since Most Wanted. And one should beat up the filmmakers of "The Fast and the Furious" at least once a day that they managed so magnificently to enliven this series for years to come. But I am now consciously opposing the [...]
After all, the real availability for AMD's new consumer flagship, which AMD is announcing for 25/11/2019, has finally become concrete. This means that we are almost three months behind the market launch, which was announced in the summer, but it is still in time to fully enter the Christmas business. Incidentally, this is exactly the day when [...]
The previous practice of real-time measurements (even over longer periods of time) only with the oscillographs is certainly not bad and it also allows deep insights into the switching behavior of graphics cards and CPUs due to the high resolution, but it is always only possible possible to capture a sub-area of the overall system. Interactions [...]
I just had to separate the tests because the MSI GTX 1660 Super Gaming X is different from the three "normal" test patterns. Apart from the price of 280 Euros, for which you can get a simple knitted and unsuperted Ti with more shaders, MSI has really cut the sandbox shovel and tried to bake the biggest cake. Then you have even 10 watts [...]
Nvidia becomes the new super-company and Master Jensen gallantly gives the Superman. Because from today it will be even more upand and in between. The Over-GeForce GTX 1660 Super, like its slower sister, is based on the TU116, more precisely the TU116-300, an already known graphics processor that supports Turing's improved shaders, new cache [...]
Sometimes you think you’re in the wrong movie and then you wonder what a minute’s life costs. Well, I could have guessed it and I was already on the right track on Sunday, but had discarded the right idea by wrong trust in the logic of the developers. The review of the three X570 motherboards had to be done without the Asus TUF Gaming [...]
The fact that I am given prototypes, PVT or evaluation samples in advance by various production products is not new. Also, with a little luck, you can pick up one or the other good piece in advance at the OEM, which you know so well, without having to beg the customer in question big. Be it as it is – something always works and it is never [...]
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 [...]

With the Speedlink Volity Ready, Speedlink wants to bring a USB microphone with swivel arm mount and various accessories to the podcasters or streamers of the world, so that their voices are also heard accordingly. So far so good. But how does this set for an EIA of 130 euros and a street price of 111 euros still compare against a 79 Euro podcast [...]
