Real frozen cut? EK Waterblocks Vector Radeon VII review | igorsLAB

A little bit I now put up the horse from behind, after we have already reached and published the overclocking results of the Radeon VII with exactly this cooler, but especially the assembly of this cooler in general and the peculiarities of the Radeon VII when tightening the screws in particular, a second, more precise look is also worthwhile. And [...]


Patriot Viper NVMe 1TB in review – alternative to Samsung?

What lasts for a long time will be really good? With too much euphoria it is always such a thing and so I spoil it at the beginning: it is not a revolution, but has become a solid NVMe SSD for the M.2 slot. But it took more than a year between the announcement at CES 2018 and the real launch. And that with the prices? At the moment, pretty much [...]


Aorus X299 Master review – Gigabyte's cool answer to Intel's hotheads

Important preliminary remarks I admit that motherboard tests are complex and often ungrateful for the tester, because the readership remains quite manageable, as long as it is, for example, an enthusiast platform like the Socket 2066.

Yes, I did it: Purely out of curiosity, cut a complete review of a graphics card as a video. Well, as a double burden, of course, such a thing does not last in the long run, but the learning factor is of course extremely high. The prices for all possible cards are currently in free fall and so it offers a (retrospective) review of this middle [...]


Metro Exodus – The great RTX ON and Off benchmark for the GeForce RTX 2060, 2070, 2080 and 2080 Ti with DLSS analysis and more | igorsLAB

Metro Exodus promises to be one of the blockbusters of 2019. In today's article, however, I do not want to judge the game itself, but only its "technological" aspect. Precisely because Metro Exodus had much more time for RTX On than for Battlefield V. Ray Tracing, DLSS, but also Advanced PhysX and HairWorks. But how does it work in [...]
