Actually, Nvidia has a good laugh, because what Microsoft releases today as DXR 1.1 (DirectX Ray Tracing) makes at least this part the quasi-standard for PCs and consoles to the same extent. None of this is surprisingly new now, given that at the end of October last year you had a post called "Dev Preview of New DirectX 12 Features" on [...]
There is work like a string and if there are no new graphics chips in sight, then you are all the more happy about exotic and unusual graphic solutions away from the usual bling bling mainstream! This is what happened with the KalmX from Palit, where the successor to the GTX 1050 Ti KalmX is hardly more expensive, but much faster. Whether this [...]
The Folding@home project has been using the computing power voluntarily provided by users for years for simulations that help to develop drugs. For current reasons, it has been decided to use computing power for research into the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus in order to search for a cure or a vaccine for the COVID19 disease caused by the virus. If you [...]
After 10 workstation graphics cards tested, I prepared a whopping 64 different chart graphics and invested almost 200 hours of pure benchmark time without assemling and software configuration. Of course, various cards are still missing, especially since AMD unfortunately does not show too much zeal in the sampling. I also have models in the test [...]
In order to get even more out of the assembled system, of course, one or the other clock screw was also turned. It has been important to me that no utopian values are presented, which may not be reproducible to the reader in the end. I am well aware that in some places it is guaranteed that a little more could be extracted. But nobody has won [...]
According to wccftech.com, the first AMD Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' desktop CPUs are obviously already in circulation and one of these copies has now been discovered by the hardware supplier _Rogame. The Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' CPUs (essentially an APU) are based on the 7 nm architecture and are equipped with the new Zen 2 CPU and improved [...]
The rumours were already in full circulation last night and now it is official: The E3 2020 was cancelled due to the escalating health crisis caused by the coronavirus. The E3 organizers, the Entertainment Software Association, have issued a press release promising a refund to anyone who has already purchased tickets for the show, and that a kind [...]
After the choice of the platform and the components has been made in the first part, this part is now about the assembly of the system. This is not a perfect step-by-step guide with the claim of absolute completeness, but only a loose summary in the order in which I usually mount my systems. At this point, of course, I also refer to the first part [...]
Who measures a lot measures crap. This rule applies as long as one does not actively deal with the circumstances and requirements and is not prepared to invest a lot – mostly private – time in its exploration. I started working more intensively on the power consumption of graphics cards in 2014 and to find a really good solution. In [...]
Preface The dream of an arrow-fast gaming PC with dizzying frame rates at high resolutions with maximum detail remains unfulfillable for many readers. Graphics cards beyond the 1000€, CPUs and boards for several hundred euros – not everyone can or does not want to afford that. But does it necessarily have to be the nonplusultra to achieve a [...]
There are now GPU water blocks like sand by the sea. To then fish out exactly that one grain, which still offers an informative added value, because it e.g. is also completely different in design, naturally becomes heavier with time (and the increasing amount of products). You're looking forward to it like a little snow king, when you happen [...]
2K Games is now the next publisher to remove its entire range of games from GeForce NOW, the cloud streaming service introduced by NVIDIA last month after several years of beta. As usual, NVIDIA provided the news about the GeForce NOW forums. However, the community representative also said talks are underway with 2K Games to get the company back [...]
Everybody can cool with air and honestly: the adrenaline rush when you take apart and rebuild a card that costs several thousand euros is not to be despised. But the basic idea behind the whole water action is actually quite simple. How much more clocks and thus also performance can be squeezed out of a Quadro RTX 6000 by the better cooling alone [...]
Sometimes the number of reviews varies noticeably, but this is not because I might want to write something or have my face tanned by the video lamps. No, it is the work "besides" that nobody sees, but which is necessary for the creation of many articles and if it is basic study on the subject. Because you should only write about things [...]
NVIDIA is on the verge of launching its new GeForce RTX SUPER mobile GPUs, which improve specifications and improve performance compared to existing GeForce RTX mobile GPUs. It looks like PCGamesN has got an internal slide in hand that shows up to 50% better performance of each SUPER variant compared to the older non-SUPER siblings. The Turing [...]
Until now, the popular GPU cooler could only be mounted obliquely or not at all on a GeForce RTX 2080 (Ti), RTX 2080 Super or RTX 2070 Super, as the two Bracktes did not contain any really suitable threaded holes. However, as demand piled up and there are enough cards with less powerful coolers on the market, the question of a conversion was [...]
The coronavirus is not only beginning to take an impact on the technical world slowly, but is becoming more and more rapid, as shown by the fact that several important events have either been cancelled or postponed at least to later dates due to health concerns. NVIDIA, which now plans to host the largest annual graphics event, the GTC 2020, has [...]
Two new nvidia graphics cards have appeared in the Geekbench. The still unnamed cards reach a significantly higher score than the currently fastest Turing cards. The larger of the two GPUs obviously houses 7552 CUDA cores, 118 SMs and 24GB VRAM. It remains unclear whether this is a full expansion – the speculatius probably assumes a full [...]
The speculations about Nvidia's next generation of graphics cards do not abate and some people like to put their very own speculative on the frog-green biscuit stack every day. For once, I want to take part in this today and gather a little bit of what I have noticed in the last few days. And it's more and more like the whole Turing story [...]
