The opposite of expensive does not always have to be cheap. In fact, it would also be inexpensive. This is exactly what KFA2 must have thought when the GeForce RTX 2070 EX was designed. Many things were taken over here from the larger KFA2 cards and also the cooler has a decent portiönchen hip bacon, so that nothing burns. I take a closer look at [...]
One finds again and again possibilities to further improve a product that is good in itself and to punish the supposed greed of the accountants with only a few cents of material use nonchalantly. Far more than 90°C below the memory you don't have to find really nice now, but why did the dear Lord God create the so-called thermal guide pads [...]
You know and hate it, the beloved moment when a power supply suddenly switches off in the middle of the game, even though it is new and shows no other abnormalities. The annoyance of the users becomes even greater if one believes that the power supply size has also been calculated correctly. But is that enough for the manufacturers of graphics [...]
I had already teased this follow-up in the launch article for the Radeon RX 590 and thus also promised the readers, only such a cluster of never-ending measuring series then takes a little longer than expected. After a few hours, I stopped counting how many times I was subvolting towards the desktop or the Back/Greyscreen i crashed. But in the end [...]
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 [...]
Division of labour is a nice thing, especially when your system has to be "persuaded" manually for the 1809 update of Windows and you are unfortunately not one of those who have been pampered with pre-keys. But better late than never and together with colleagues, working and playing is twice as much fun. This is written by someone who [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
AMD has something to announce on 06.11.2018, that is already clear. AMD's CEO Lisa Su had already held both the event itself and the exact timing on Tuesday, Oct. November, given. To this end, she also briefly stated that these are products and technologies in the 7-nm process and that the whole thing is mainly based on commercial use such as [...]
You can drive it with the power limit up to the maximum allowed 380 watts, or sit back relaxed in noble modesty. And always with the knowledge that the last watt from the can only leads to more heat and noise, but not really to more gaming performance. And so PNY runs the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XLR8 factory with 260 watts and lays out the rest of the [...]
Update from 21.10.2018 – 19:30 In addition, the forum user Vipeax (not only in our forum) has linked a patched version of Nvidias nvflash64.exe for download, with which cards from different manufacturers (subsystem ID) are also flashed with each other with BIOSen of other manufacturers and cards Can. Nvidia had accidentally forgotten the [...]
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 [...]

Important preliminary remarks Why am I starting so mystical this time? The reason is the availability of the test pattern – or rather – its temporary unavailability. According to Nvidia, we should also get a sample of the GeForce RTX 2070 last week in the form of a board partner card for our test, but unfortunately in the end it went a [...]
KFA2 has designed a current Turing card with the very simple GeForce RTX 2080 Ti OC, which could be considered a real Janus head. What makes the card very interesting for a very specific target group is its first BIOS, which I will discuss in more detail later. Since this card, however cynical it may sound, is one of the rather "cheap" [...]
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 discussed in great detail the cooling problem and the [...]

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 [...]
