Alphacool Eiswolf 2 in a test against a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti with 300 and 380 watts – with a little initiative an (almost) perfect solution

The market for all-in-one water cooling solutions for graphics cards is still abundantly manageable compared to CPU coolers, although the potential gain over air cooling is significantly higher. Higher boost steps and lower operating noise are only part of the reward, because all other components of the graphics card board also benefit from such [...]


Gaming notebooks in a tight spot: Ryzen 4000 APUs in bandwidth limit, Tiger Lake will probably come with only 4 cores in 2020 for the time being, and Ampere need more speed

But I’ll explain in a moment [...]


NVIDIA NvEnc vs. CPU encoding: Can the video encoder of the Turing cards be used for twitch streaming and keep up with a CPU? Analysis with Netflix VMAF

For some time now, a separate encoding chip, which Nvidia NvEnc has christened Nvidia NvEnc, has been used in many NVIDIA graphics cards. This is a real hardware solution that can convert videos quite efficiently. Currently the common codecs H.264 and H.265 as well as resolutions up to 8K are supported. The Turing generation now promises video [...]
