Three new graphics cards based on the RDNA 3 GPU architecture have been discovered in the EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission) database: the Radeon RX 7800, RX 7700 and the RX 7600 XT. The entries come from a relatively small AIB based in the Asia-Pacific region called ARKTEK. However, ARKTEK does not currently produce cards based on the RDNA 3 [...]
Today I’m taking a look at the “new” second monitor from Wellenbrecher. Some of you may have noticed that Wellenbrecher is a “lucky guy” when it comes to buying monitors. He bought the MSI Optix MAG274QRX four times and still ended up with a monitor with pixel errors on the panel. A real quality chaos, there’s [...]
Bluesky Frame Converter is an application that uses Windows DirectShow filters to convert video frame rates as needed. Frame converters are widely used in the media industry and are mainly used to adjust video frame rates so that they are compatible with different display or transmission standards. Bluesky works best with AMD’s GPU lineup [...]
So anyone who really believes that everything used to be cheaper is very much mistaken. Just compare salaries and prices! Computers are a luxury good. And gold-plated accessories are as old as the PC price list. But who am I telling? If you browse through yesterday’s advertisements today, it can make you feel really sick. But just before [...]
The upcoming version of HWiNFO has only two highlights, both of which focus on preliminary support for Intel’s next-gen GPU products. It was recently confirmed that Intel will launch its Battlemage GPUs in 2024, and now the first support for these next-gen chips has been added to HWiNFO. The support is split into two parts. First, there are [...]
Over a year ago, Intel introduced its first GPUs based on the Xe “Alchemist” core architecture. The first GPUs were introduced with the Arc A380 and gradually saw the release of higher level products such as the A770, A750 and the latest A750. The GPU architecture has also been adopted by several mobile chips and since its introduction [...]
Earlier this month, it was reported that NVIDIA was on track to launch its GeForce RTX 4090 D GPU in the near future. This product is officially designed as a China-exclusive variant to counteract the export restrictions imposed on the RTX 4090 and should not be released until next year. However, a recent report from Expreview suggests that the [...]
Today’s monitor was not sent to me by the manufacturer, as is usually the case. I bought it myself, but I’m going to be harsh on Samsung and AMD at one point or another. I can already say that in advance. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 is one of a total of four QD OLED monitors on the market. It has the same 3440 x 1440p resolution and [...]
It seems like someone at European retailer ProShop is either too excited or got confused with the upcoming launch of the GeForce RTX 40 “SUPER”, as they have renamed all of their RTX 4090 offerings to RTX 4090 SUPER. The retailer offers several graphics cards, 24 variants in total, and has put the “SUPER” designation in [...]
Since AMD started offering its APUs with powerful integrated graphics, Intel has gradually lost its lead in the iGPU space. The Vega iGPU family had already cemented AMD’s grip on the market at the time, and with RDNA, the red team entered a whole new world of devices that provided mini PCs and handhelds with premium graphics performance [...]
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 16 series is the last vestige of the pre-RTX era, when all GPUs were marketed under the “GTX” series. It’s been more than a year since we’ve seen a new graphics card in this series and that was also a low-end design, namely the GeForce GTX 1630. But from the first quarter of 2024, the GeForce GTX 16 [...]
Intel has taken a significant step in its development with the new “Meteor Lake” CPU platform, marketed as “Core Ultra”. These processors are the first from Intel to use the “Intel 4” process, which is based on EUV lithography, and the first Intel client CPUs where parts of the SoC are manufactured by TSMC [...]
I don’t know how long it’s actually been since MSI announced this monitor. After what feels like an eternity, the time has finally come – the MSI MEG342C QD-OLED is on my playing field. A 34-inch ultrawide monitor with a maximum resolution of 3440 x 1440p and a refresh rate of 175 Hz. The RRP of the MEG342C is 1,499 euros [...]
AMD and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora had a special relationship, as Team Red had previously worked with Ubisoft to develop specially designed graphics cards in conjunction with the game. In addition, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was one of the first titles to support AMD’s new FSR 3 upscaling technology, which also improves image generation [...]
The patch 2.1 for Cyberpunk 2077 brings a lot of new features, but unfortunately also some problems. And before I go into the new features, we also need to look at the hurdles that stand in the way of a new user experience. Since its release, Cyberpunk 2077 has emerged as a platform for demonstrating new graphics card technologies, particularly in [...]
René and I have known each other for almost two decades and it was bound to happen at some point. Because while I was constantly stopping myself from picking up everything, he made it his goal in life. And that’s how his impressive collection of computer games came about, which was even entered into the Guinness Book of Records as the [...]
Where do current workstation graphics cards from both manufacturers stand when it comes to design, construction, simulation, 3D visualization and creation? Has AMD been able to catch up or even overtake with the new lineup of Radeon Pro graphics cards or are Ada and Ampere still the measure of all things? I’ll try to find objective answers [...]
According to the latest information, NVIDIA’s upcoming GPU architecture will be named Vera Rubin. Vera Rubin was an American astronomer who made significant contributions to the understanding of dark matter in the universe while pioneering work on the rotation rate of galaxies. Her findings pointed to the existence of significant amounts of [...]
According to Quasar Zone, this is a “crazy idea”, but nevertheless they have managed to successfully combine NVIDIA’s DLSS 3 Frame Gen and AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames technologies. Although the process wasn’t straightforward, it’s pleasing to see that these two technologies provide a significant improvement in [...]
In the third quarter of 2023, the research company Omdia gained detailed insights into Team Green’s activities and discovered astonishing results. NVIDIA sold an almost unbelievable “half a million” AI GPUs in the quarter, mainly consisting of the Hopper H100 and the Ampere A100. These sales figures are impressive and have put [...]
