At first glance, we don't have it easy as a (ab)writing guild. The World Cup drags itself away and becomes a nonchalant lyrise event, the beloved, media summer hole is now as big as Lake Constance, the nerves lie bare everywhere and so many people are after the holiday. The consequences of this info-nothing(it) are clearly defined: one falls [...]
Sapphire presents its new Radeon 7800 XT as a “Once Human” edition
Gigabyte rolls out its new AGESA 1.2.0.0a BIOS update and targets AMD’s Ryzen 9000
ASRock introduces its two Intel Arc A750 and Arc A770 Challenger SE cards
AMD Radeon RX 8000: RDNA 4 GPUs with Navi 48 and Navi 44 on the way – launch date 2025

After my excisive conversation in Taipei with LL Shiu, the president of ASRock, I can now officially report that the manufacturer can and will offer its new graphics card portfolio in Europe and thus of course also in Germany from July. And so that we don't quote all of them again, I now have the current and first official statement of ASRock [...]
We took the conversion of the side and parts of the laboratory as an opportunity to improve the measurements of the power consumption of graphics cards once again. We also show screenshots of our interpreter software for the first time and explain them to our readers today.
With the ROG GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Strix Gaming, Asus puts an interpretation of the GP104, which has been slimmed down into the GTX 1070 Ti, on the customer shelf, which actually does almost everything right and nothing wrong. Of course, this is also reflected in the price, but we can... The rather tidy-looking board does not hide any secrets. Power [...]
If one recalls the great advertising appearance with which AT that time ASRock was enthroned as a new, AMD-exclusive graphics card board partner (AIB) with a lot of media pomp, then today's statement of a senior sales manager of ASRock almost like an anecdote from the days when AMD's PR put itself one leg at a time.
WITH the Radeon RX 580 Phantom Gaming X, ASRock presents a first-time work in which you can actually do nothing wrong with these models, bearing in mind the long-standing experience of the competitors with these models. So it’s kind of the ideal test object to practice. After all, the GPU is not a real new development, but only the [...]
Reference system for workstation testing at Tom's Hardware Since we didn't want to build a pure Xeon workstation (which of course is always a cost issue), we want to compromise and select consumer hardware so that it can be... Assembly and instructions If you want to use the Cooler Master Cosmos C700P, you need not only a thick wallet, but [...]
If we were asked for a somewhat eye-catching RX Vega64 and if the range of such cards were not so limited, then the Red Devil from Powercolor would come to mind spontaneously. Because it not only applies quite strongly visually, but also ... Board layout Powercolor also differs somewhat from AMD's reference layout at first glance, but the most [...]
Today's PREVAILPRO P4000 is marketed by PNY as a mobile workstation and therefore also sorts itself in the relevant price segment above 4500 Euros and will be available directly in Germany in the foreseeable future.... Opening your notebook What would a notebook review be without Tear Down? On the one hand, the manufacturer does not list all [...]
If we were asked for a slightly better equipped RX Vega64 and if the range of such cards were more diversified, we would probably call the Asus RX Vega64 Strix OC. Where and how exactly the map is positioned, today's test ... Board layout Like Gigabyte and Sapphire, Asus is extremely different from AMD's reference layout, which should make [...]
Why do we need stability and stress tests? On the one hand, of course, the technical implementation of a graphics card is of interest. One often knows the performance-technical limits of the graphics hardware, but about the concrete use in one's own, mostly closed structure, the best review tells you not everything at first. Especially when it [...]
Important preliminary remarks Since the actual performance of all board partner cards of the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti ex works has to be very similar due to the fixed base and boost offset for all manufacturers, the real achieved results depend on... We had already mentioned it at the beginning that almost exclusively the resulting boost clock rates of [...]
Although Colorful has not owned a German distribution for years, you can still buy these cards as long as you are willing to get involved in Chinese online shops and also take import duties into account. However, one also somehow orders the cat in the bag: a return is either difficult or it is (almost) impossible. Guarantee services are regulated [...]
What is white, slightly overweight and even really fast within the framework of their genes? No, we are not writing about a full Snow White on Speed, but the Galax GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Hall of Fame, which is held in Europe for trademark reasons. KFA2/Galax uses a modified GTX 1070 Hall of Fame board for the GTX 1070 Ti Hall of Fame, but with [...]
If there were enough Vega chips and thus a wide range of cards, the Gigabyte RX Vega64 in this form would probably be the ideal entry-level card, rather than a top-of-the-line model. But it really must always be the demonstration of what is technically feasible... Board layout As with the RX Vega56 Gaming OC, Gigabyte is extremely different from [...]
Unlike Sapphire's heavyweight RX Vega64 Nitro+, the Gigabyte RX Vega56 Gaming OC is more of a grey mouse with a fairly healthy body measure index. Just don't stand out at all costs. And it almost seems as if you even have it consciously ... Board layout Gigabyte is extremely different from AMD's reference layout of the RX Vega, which [...]
Sapphire took its time, which certainly did not harm the whole project. While some competitors have already scattered PVT samples, i.e. the small series, among the media before the start of the actual mass production, S... Board layout Sapphire differs significantly from AMD's reference design when designing the board. This even makes sense in [...]
The first major driver package was the Catalyst Omega back in 2014. A year later, the Radeon Software Crimson Edition driver was available for the astonished people. In 2016, AMD gave us the Crimson ReLive Edition before Christmas and this ...
Compared to many others who have simply adopted the board and cooler of the GeForce GTX 1080, Gigabyte relies on the revised design of the GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming. In terms of performance, this board is more than sufficient, only for cooling... Gigabyte uses the board of the GTX 1070 Ti G1 Gaming for the GTX 1070 Ti G1 Gaming in the second [...]
So, or something like that, the R&D department at Zotac must have thought when the new project was approached. But the fact that even then something can go wrong and pencil-tipping accountants hand over the rather worse designers, will be... Zotac bets on the Zotac GTX 1070 Ti Amp! Extreme on the same board as with the Zotac GTX 1080 Amp [...]
