Sometimes you think you’re in the wrong movie and then you wonder what a minute’s life costs. Well, I could have guessed it and I was already on the right track on Sunday, but had discarded the right idea by wrong trust in the logic of the developers. The review of the three X570 motherboards had to be done without the Asus TUF Gaming [...]
The fact that I am given prototypes, PVT or evaluation samples in advance by various production products is not new. Also, with a little luck, you can pick up one or the other good piece in advance at the OEM, which you know so well, without having to beg the customer in question big. Be it as it is – something always works and it is never [...]
The Raijintek Samos RX 5700 XT, which I tested today, is so new that it is not even listed at the dealers. My test sample has made it on an unofficial way from Asia directly to the laboratory, so that I can already present you exclusively a product that will only be officially available for purchase in the coming days. I already feel so slowly [...]
The title says it all – I’ll show you what tools you need and the steps for disassembling the board in preparation for the water cooling conversion. And the best way to explain this things is a video 🙂
I deliberately waited a bit to not only press speculative data into a news article, but also to come up with some more detailed content. AMD and Nvidia of course continue their small-scale launch war as usual, with one leading and the other following. So good, so well known. But what further information do we have in the meantime? Of course, I [...]
Corsair has also recently entered the water plans sector with the Hydro-X series, offering selected products (all manufactured by experienced finishers). I had already tested a part in a PC project, today the GPU water block has to believe in it. Cold maker or blender? That's what I already know now and you after reading the review. And yes [...]
There’s one thing you really have to admit to Sapphire: when it comes to cooling, hardly anybody can fool them when it comes to AMD cards. Provided you are willing to pay a certain surcharge for this service compared to their normal cards like Pulse. The Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro Plus tested today shows one thing very clearly: weight and [...]
After the first minutes with the new MSI RX 5700 XT a déjà-vu attacked me, because I suddenly had the legendary MSI R9 390 X 8G in mind again. Fast thing, a bit hot and by no means a despiser of food, on the contrary. Well, as you know, power comes from fuel and that’s why MSI has aligned itself to it. The concept to bring the fastest RX [...]
In the end, it was only a matter of time before the effect I leaked of the revaluation of the RTX entry-level models with the artificially braked non-A chip of certain Nvidia cards, such as a GeForce RTX 2080 in the form of a suitable BIOS in the wild and this firmware also appears in the BIOS collection of Techpowerup. If you would like to know [...]
Sapphire's first Navi card is with the Pulse actually the entry model, if one follows the previous nomenclature of the manufacturer. This also entails compromises and today we will sound out which and what this means for the customer.
RTX On and Cyberpunk, a hotly debated feature story. The game is already reaching the margins of the game, about which other providers can only marvel, so that the expectations are of course immensely high. Of course, you will have to deliver, otherwise the disappointment will be all the greater later on.
You can see it as you like, but the latest quarterly report from Jon Peddie Research (JPR) shows once again that it was a very positive quarter for AMD, despite all the supposed or obvious bottlenecks. In order to be able to classify and evaluate this correctly, however, one must first look at the entire market. Now Jon Peddie Research is, of [...]
In the meantime, we have arrived at version 1.1.0 and there are several new functions and changes to the interface. New is the "Save" button, because you can now load your own (or foreign) settings files in addition to BIOSen, which you saved with the also new "Save" button beforehand. This makes it possible to create various [...]
The new white paper on AMD's RDNA Gaming architecture is available and linked for reading. The white paper includes a technical analysis of the "Navi" architecture—the basis of graphics cards—including the new Radeon RX 5700 Series GPUs. The RDNA architecture has been optimized while providing backward compatibility with the GCN [...]
Powercolor showed us the way with the Silent-BIOS, today we follow with a tutorial for everyone that is suitable for everyday use: no more BIOS flashing and no more Wattman tricks, but a comprehensible manual that is easy to implement with our free MorePowerTool...
What’s the best way to annoy your competitors? By impressively showing who has the longest and greatest. And if you are a bit more subdued when it comes to price and can score points with features, then a product almost sells itself. Too much praise in advance? Honour to whom honour is due, but you’re right. That should be included in [...]
Powercolor sets a decent fragrance brand with the RX 5700 XT Red Devil - both in terms of performance and the massive cooler as well as in terms of price. There is also a Silent BIOS that really honors its name. But I don't want to spoil, I want to test. So it's best to read for yourself.
