It is still unclear whether there will be a Founders Edition model for each of the three NVIDIA RTX 40 SUPER graphics cards. What can be confirmed, however, is that the board partners (AIC) are already working on developing their individual designs to be showcased on these GPUs. As expected, each AIC will offer a diverse selection of cards for [...]
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 [...]
Don’t be fooled by the exterior, even if this system is confusingly similar to the AM08 in name and appearance, it contains an Intel processor from the Tiger Lake generation. Our last meeting of this CPU series in the form of the CK10 with a 11390H was somewhat disappointing, hopefully things will turn out differently today. But let’s [...]
I announced a while ago that I would include some of the most popular coolers currently suggested by the community in our ranking. I am keeping this promise once again, today with one of the cheapest offers from the manufacturer be quiet! I tested the slightly more slimmed-down version of this cooler years ago on the old testbench: Packaging and [...]
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 [...]
Because today is Boxing Day, I’m taking you to Kabale in Uganda, or rather the Kabale District, just a few kilometers from the border with Rwanda. And yes, there are people who couldn’t care less about hardware because their daily problems are completely different and some of them don’t even understand what a computer is. In my [...]
Once upon a time, there was a high-end graphics card known as the “GTX Titan” that once reigned in the hearts of gamers and tech enthusiasts worldwide. This card was a marvel of technology, equipped with the latest architecture, unparalleled clock speeds, and an abundance of VRAM. It was the undisputed king of graphics cards, enabling [...]
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 [...]
With the ARX 700 ARGB, Endorfy is trying to establish itself with a small but fine case in the mid-range segment. This mid-tower case is a sheet steel case with a glass side panel and power supply cover. At least 4 ARGB fans in 140 mm are included for 120 euros, which should provide plenty of airflow. This case had also appealed to me privately [...]
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 [...]
The reason I’m expressing myself in such detail today is twofold. First, it’s always important to hear all sides of a story and objectively assess and evaluate what you’ve heard. Second, the knowledge gained, as of today, is now completely different. This isn’t to excuse what could have been done earlier but wasn’t. And this [...]
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 [...]
With the MSI SPATIUM M570 Pro 2TB, the Taiwanese manufacturer has now also done it: launching an NVMe SSD with PCIe 5.0 standard on the market. But does such a bolide bring any real added performance value and what is actually installed in detail? Nothing escapes my material tests in this regard and yes, the SSD really is ROHS-compliant. But you [...]
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 [...]
Alphacool Apex Stealth Metal Fan – A long search for own faults and personal statement
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 [...]
