On the hard BIOS tour: manual EEPROM flash of a GeForce RTX to bypass the lock with the hardware ID at NVflash | igorsLAB

First of all, I would like to put two important things before this test report. First, such things that we will do below are certainly not prohibited on the finished product, but anything that goes beyond simply reading and writing the BIOS data is already in the grey area between healthy play instinct and reverse engineering. And it is also quite [...]


Aorus GeForce RTX 2080 Xtreme in Review – Lost in RGB | igorsLAB

RGB lettering on top? Has everyone. A nice RGB logo in the backplate? Yawn. Illuminated RGB fans? There are already. But what about real light effects on the rotor blades? Some people who are looking for the ultimate difference and would like to be paralyzed by the stroboscope effect will now sharpen their ears. At least that's what she must [...]


Radeon RX 590 in review – Polaris at the absolute limit

The transition to an improved manufacturing process (12nm FinFET) is also intended to breathe new life into Polaris before retirement. However, with regard to Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1060, the goal has been to use the newly acquired reserves exclusively for clock increases and not to increase efficiency with the same performance, which is a pity [...]


The death cocktail for Nvidia's RTX cards: a whole mix of different problems is said to be responsible for the outages | Nvidia GeForce RTX Graphics Cards Are Dying

Another Nvidia news? If you only ask long enough, the information condenses further and further and in the end everything merges into a beautiful picture. And it turns out that many are right, if only indirectly. Because the failures can not only be fixed on a single reason, but show very nicely what can happen in sum if one does not take enough [...]


Caught cold: Do SMT problems and cold soldering points lead to the failures of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FE?

After initially focusing on the memory modules (also in mine) to explain the mysterious failures, especially the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition, information is now condensed to indicate the more likely cause of the problems. For example, we have already discussed at great length in the forum, which also dealt with possible soldering [...]


Palit GeForce RTX 2070 Dual in first test

Interestingly, the GeForce RTX 2070 Founders Edition, which has already been tested today, is not the object on which the chip giant is focusing its new focus. In order to make the GeForce RTX 2070 quite tasty for the buyer, this time the board partners have to judge it with their not overclocked models. Nvidia's price target is an RRP of 519 [...]

MSI MEG Z390 Goodlike in Unboxing and First Hands-On Test | igorsLAB

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 [...]
