The current scarcity of Intel's products in the 14nm process and the inability to realize its own 10nm process at all also strikes quite brutally on the Z390 motherboards in particular and the availability of the complete new product line in the So that the launch of the Platform Controller Hub (PCH) Z390 and the new Coffee Lake S Refresh [...]

In my two articles "GeForce RTX 2080 Ti – Why water cooling is more important than manual overclocking and this brings very little" and especially "Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition water-cooled? Forget it, here's the much faster alternative!" I've already detailed the cooling problem and the advantages of a [...]
Two very unequal sisters The fact that the Founders Edition of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2080 Ti would have particularly good chips is not only an urban legend, but complete nonsense. Clock-adjusted and provided with the same BIOS, e.g. the board of my press sample from Nvidia water-cooled also no better than e.g. the KFA2/Galax RTX 2080 Ti OC [...]
Gainward (i.e. The gaming brand of Palit) relies on a complete self-design for the board and a 2.5-slot radiator structure with three 8.5 cm fans (opening 9 cm, 15 rotor blades) in the Phantom GLH ("Goes Like Hell") that build up a correspondingly static pressure. The longitudinal, chrome-plated pipes are visually an eye-catcher, but do [...]
Of course, the detailed individual tests of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FE and RTX 2080 as well as the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio will not end, on the contrary! Who doesn't remember my long burners, like the roundups for the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, 1080, 1070 and 1060? For this generation, too, I plan both detailed individual tests [...]
I have always wondered (and in the end also annoyed) why the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti behaves so divertily unwilling when manually overclocking and why ultimately the Founders edition, if you really cool it down, at the same time as your Power Target the limit of what makes sense. Squinting at the card with the highest Power Target ex works and the [...]
MSI has presented ti Gaming X Trio with the GeForce RTX 2080 and introduces its own new graphics card design. From the very beginning, MSI relies on a true custom design and its own cooler with three fans (2x 9.5 cm and 1x 8.5 cm) as well as with the obligatory RGB effects. It is equipped with the TU102, has 11 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory and [...]
The time has come, finally! After all the many (but very readable!) Theory presented in our basic article "Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 – what is really hidden behind Turing" from last week, it's almost finally getting to the bottom of today! Not only do we benchmark the two new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 (Ti) FE, but [...]
Many board partners do it, and hardly any of the end users know how it really works. But everyone is talking about it. We are talking about GPU binning, i.e. the pre-selection and categorisation of GPUs of a model series according to different criteria. In this way, different clusters are created, figuratively speaking. The very good, less good [...]
With the GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio, MSI introduces its own new graphics card design. From the very beginning, MSI relies on a true custom design and its own cooler with three fans and the obligatory RGB effects. It is equipped with the TU104, has 8 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory and offers everything else we already know from the reference [...]
AMD today announced a redesigned Athlon 200GE with a Radeon Vega 3 graphics card. It is certainly intended for everyday PC applications and is very obviously aimed at the office-only area. In addition, AMD now also offers the second-generation Ryzen PRO and Athlon PRO desktop processors for the commercial market. Combining the x86 "Zen+" [...]
With the ZBOX CI660 nano, ZOTAC Technology introduces a new passively cooled mini-PC, which will be available in six versions in various power levels from the CI620 to the CI660. Intel's 8th-place Core i7 processors Generation with integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 should provide the necessary propulsion and still remain passively coolable [...]
So gaming gets a whole new boost!
The test system In our article "White and Fast: KFA2 Hall Of Fame Extreme DDR4-4000 in Test" we have already seen that the Core i7-8700K and the Ryzen 7 2700X benefit from an increase in memory frequency and also offer increased CPU and game performance. However, we also wanted to know whether this also applies to a Ryzen APU and its [...]
Like the Gigabyte RX Vega 56 Gaming OC , the Sapphire RX Vega 56 Pulse is more of a rational card, but equipped with completely different genes. Because in addition to the ultra-short board, we also find a very remarkable cooler here, which will be discussed later. Vapor-Chamber? That is precisely what does not exist this time. But interestingly [...]
There should be a graphics card review at this point, but it doesn't. Sure, you could have published it and pretended you didn't notice anything. Just like all those who had already tested this graphics card in rotation before me, this does not bring any further in the end. Not the reader, because he has to feel slickly awkward, not the [...]
At first glance, we don't have it easy as a (ab)writing guild. The World Cup drags itself away and becomes a nonchalant lyrise event, the beloved, media summer hole is now as big as Lake Constance, the nerves lie bare everywhere and so many people are after the holiday. The consequences of this info-nothing(it) are clearly defined: one falls [...]
After my excisive conversation in Taipei with LL Shiu, the president of ASRock, I can now officially report that the manufacturer can and will offer its new graphics card portfolio in Europe and thus of course also in Germany from July. And so that we don't quote all of them again, I now have the current and first official statement of ASRock [...]
What is white, fast and in its class still (with) the cheapest offer? With the KFA2 Hall Of Fame Extreme DDR4-4000, you can not only visually finely upgrade your system, but also accelerate it. What this in the Praxi... Memory Tests Intel The nice thing, of course, is that we can fully extend the clock rates of the memory kit. The question [...]
With the ROG GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Strix Gaming, Asus puts an interpretation of the GP104, which has been slimmed down into the GTX 1070 Ti, on the customer shelf, which actually does almost everything right and nothing wrong. Of course, this is also reflected in the price, but we can... The rather tidy-looking board does not hide any secrets. Power [...]
