Four new PCI device IDs were found, which do not belong to any of the currently known NVIDIA graphics cards. The designations are in no way official, but have been suggested by the operators of the PCI ID database, who often receive initial information earlier. Allegedly, four new mobile GPUs will be launched soon, each with a different GPU model: [...]
The AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raphael architecture (codenamed Dragon Range). This hybrid of mobile and desktop processor will probably power most high-end gaming laptops based on AMD hardware, such as Alienware m16/m18, ASUS ROG Strix or Lenovo Legion. According to AMD, these CPUs should work with TDPs of [...]
The final driver for the integrated RDNA3 graphics is probably still a few weeks away. Nevertheless, some preliminary results on the Bilibili platform with the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS processor, codenamed Phoenix, have now been published. This processor type features the latest AMD architectures like the Zen4 CPU with 8 cores and RDNA3 for graphics [...]
Soon the Arc Control software, which is now integrated in the graphics drivers for all Arc Alchemist GPUs and Iris Xe graphics cards (although it is optional), will receive an overdue update. According to Linus Sebastian, the update will affect the software’s display. It will no longer be (just) an overlay, which was the main reason why the [...]
DDU is an indispensable software for all GPU enthusiasts. Reviewers and gamers know this very well, and this is where Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) comes in. The software can completely remove all the data left by the graphics drivers, including registry data, folders and files, and driver memory. The software was developed by Wagnard and works [...]
This week, Jarrod’s Tech is at it again. The YouTube channel had the opportunity to show the performance of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 laptop GPU, which will be used in the upcoming Razer Blade 16 gaming laptop. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 laptop GPU is insanely fast compared to the RTX 3080 Ti for both gaming and workload creation. An [...]
The most popular overclocking tool programmed by Alexey will now continue without MSI support. The reason for this is the ongoing war in Ukraine , resulting in licensing problems. Due to sanctions, companies like MSI are unable to fulfill their obligations under the contract signed with the developer. Alexey himself lives in Russia. The MSI [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Today we have another mini system from Beelink in review. The newest SEi Pro series uses processors from the 11th generation. Generation from Intel. How the i5 with the sonorous name 11320H and its Xe graphics unit performs is tested in the following article. A few surprises await us! Packaging and scope of delivery Does the design on the cuboid [...]
A notebook in my test – what’s up? Yes, there is always a first time. By chance, I became aware of the product and thought to myself: Hey, there is an OLED display and quite potent hardware installed. I’ll definitely have to check that out. I have to say that I was most interested in the OLED panel. So, I sent a request to MSI [...]
Before angry comments are made in the forum that a Celeron CPU also has its raison d’être: The title of this article is to be understood with a wink. However, we still check whether a processor from Intel’s lower drawer paired with Windows 11 is suitable for everyday use. The last mini-PC with an N-CPU was not quite convincing in terms [...]
Last week, Microsoft released a security patch for Windows 11, which, in addition to some annoying interventions in the system (e.g. network detection was deactivated without being asked), also caused a system with an active Microsoft account, which relies on the PIN for authentication in the start screen, to discard exactly this PIN when changing [...]
A little bit of retro is always interesting so I have an article from the beginnings of igorsLAB for you this time. The APU is now also available very cheap and that is enough for a usable HTPC in the end.
Why I took a closer look at the Doogee S89 Pro today and let you participate in the self-experiment (of my kids)? Because, as the father of two young boys, I see myself once again confirmed in the fact that it is rather counterproductive to pass on the discarded parental smartphones to the squirts. Rugged smartphones are certainly a niche, and yet [...]
2010: Plenty of hot air for a quick death The following article contains parts of a classic from 12 years ago that was already believed to have been lost. Who remembers the Sahara PC and Tom’s menu from the younger ones? We already and the younger ones will be amazed that not so much has changed hard. Even then, graphics cards were glowing [...]
So far you know me mainly from the forum as a helper with hardware problems. Since similar questions often come up, Andreas (ApolloX) asked me if we could create some tutorials. I’ll start here with an article about the possibilities Windows itself offers for troubleshooting. If you would like to create tutorials as well, please feel free to [...]
We have already discussed the topic of load peaks with the upcoming graphics cards including PCIe 5.0 as well as the new ATX 3.0 standard and Intel’s statements on this topic in detail several times. But since in the end no one really knows what to do with all these standards and theory in their own practice, my friend Aris (Dr. Aristeidis [...]
Due to the great response to our article "On the hard BIOS-Tour: manual EEPROM flash of a GeForce RTX to bypass the lock with the hardware ID at NVflash", in which we were already able to clarify what Nvidia does not give us this time, our author lays again and even put himself in front of the camera! And it doesn't always have to [...]
We already had all the relevant information about the Ryzen 6000 for mobile use at CES, but AMD has now added some more details. Zen3+ features the improved Zen 3 cores with up to 5 GHz clock and a new RDNA 2 graphics with a targeted doubling of performance. The whole thing is manufactured in TSMC’s N6 and also features a completely new [...]
