As Frank Azor (Chief Architect of Gaming Solutions at AMD) confirmed today, AMD will release a (long-awaited) new driver for the Radeon 6000 series (and older models) within 2 weeks. It will be the first release in more than 2 months. AMD’s software team has focused on the Radeon RX 7000 series since the introduction of the new desktop RDNA3 [...]

MLID has obtained two photos of said new GPUs, those of the AD106 and AD107 for mobile devices to be exact. These will launch as the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060/4050 series, respectively, by the end of this month. Undoubtedly, these are small processors, even smaller than those of the last generation. The GA106 measures 276 mm² and is replaced by a 190 [...]
The AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raphael architecture (codenamed Dragon Range). This hybrid of mobile and desktop processor will probably power most high-end gaming laptops based on AMD hardware, such as Alienware m16/m18, ASUS ROG Strix or Lenovo Legion. According to AMD, these CPUs should work with TDPs of [...]
The final driver for the integrated RDNA3 graphics is probably still a few weeks away. Nevertheless, some preliminary results on the Bilibili platform with the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS processor, codenamed Phoenix, have now been published. This processor type features the latest AMD architectures like the Zen4 CPU with 8 cores and RDNA3 for graphics [...]
Thanks EA for bringing up, dusting off and polishing up a classic that was once THE game par excellence for me, because Dead Space already captivated me almost 15 years ago! In the truest sense of the word, because I sunk a lot of wonderful hours into it and was virtually mentally tied to the chair. And this enormous time span is of course also [...]
Core renovation, stripping, plastering and painting? No, you have not made a mistake in the website! Even though it is quite offtopic, I would like to share a "small" heart project with you. In part 2, I'll show you the electrical installation, how to put on a network outlet, and what the room looked like after the renovation [...]
According to hardware leaker "chi11eddog", who had previously shared confidential AMD/MSI information, the specifications of the A620 chipset are said to be available. This chipset is an entry-level chipset with AMD AM5 socket for the latest Ryzen 7000 CPU series. According to the technical specifications, the B620 will not support PCI [...]
According to the rumors, Intel will now offer two display options for its Arc Control software. Namely, the overlay mode can be disabled and changed to a standalone desktop mode, which means that the application will be displayed like any other Windows software.Instead, users can now choose between overlay and desktop mode, or alternatively [...]
Intel lowers the price of the A750 GPU to $249 in the US, which is $30 less than at launch. The reduced price is supposed to apply worldwide, but Intel does not share prices for other regions. So Intel has announced the improvements to its new "4086" driver (although the latest driver is 4091). It is said to deliver 10% to 77% more [...]
According to the AMD, the flagship Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 16 cores will cost the same as the "original" Ryzen 9 7950X with 16 cores at launch, which is $699. This processor will launch on February 28 along with the Ryzen 9 7900X3D, which is a 12-core version. AMD has priced this model at $599, which is $50 more than the 7900X's launch [...]
NVIDIA PG137 (TITAN ADA) – board of the graphics processor with 48 GB memory spotted during delivery
Meanwhile, NVIDIA is shipping PG137 engineering boards to development centers around the world. Apparently, one of the devices was discovered by a company that monitors shipping lists going to India. The GPU manufacturer has at least sent a few test boards to its local development center. The design of the PG137 board known as a potential TITAN [...]
YuuKi was one of the first to publish Intel’s Sapphire Rapids engineering samples. No photos of the Sierra Forest processor have been released, but a photo of the new socket design has surfaced. However, it does not show the socket itself, but a protective cover with the inscription LGA-7529, which indicates a higher pin count than Sapphire [...]
After we last looked at two Ultrawide monitors, we now return to the 16:9 format. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ-W takes on the test marathon. Another ROG-branded gaming monitor as far as the eye can see. The monitor comes with a resolution of 2560 x 1440p and up to 170 Hz – on an IPS panel with RGB subpixel layout and 8-bit color depth. Even [...]
Colorful was the first to submit a factory overclocked RTX 4070 non-Ti graphics card to the GPU-Z validation database, which is presumably the source for this information. This could mean that the card is already running in the labs and is now being tested with non-standard clocks. Allegedly, the RTX 4070 has a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost [...]
Soon the Arc Control software, which is now integrated in the graphics drivers for all Arc Alchemist GPUs and Iris Xe graphics cards (although it is optional), will receive an overdue update. According to Linus Sebastian, the update will affect the software’s display. It will no longer be (just) an overlay, which was the main reason why the [...]
Today I’m testing the Alphacool Aurora Acryl GPX-N RTX 4090 FE Eisblock, the third water block for NVIDIA’s top-of-the-line model, and the picture is getting more and more solidified as to which cooler design is really good and usable. And this is where it gets really exciting: Alphacool’s cooler costs a whopping 90 to 100 Euros [...]
Both the Roccat Vulcan II Max and the Roccat Kone XP Air are not new, but somehow they are a bit different. Of course, this first raises the serious question of the sense or nonsense of a review long time after the release, long after the usual media have already more or less gratefully embraced these two products. Now, you can argue about RGB and [...]
Rumor has it that the RTX 4090Ti/TITAN features a four-slot design, and the I/O bracket houses four stacked display connectors. This unusual construction would confirm that NVIDIA could have planned a vertical board layout here. According to the leaker, the card is an RTX 4090 Ti/TITAN, although the final name of the graphics card is not confirmed [...]
The CPU-Z tool shows information about Intel’s new 13th generation Core Mobile series. Generation, which also includes the latest HX 55W models and the power-saving chips codenamed Alder Lake-N. There was an announcement for both product lines at CES 2023. Intel’s latest 24-core, 6 GHz processor, the Core i9-13900KS, is also now fully [...]
Reddit user xCuri0 reports that the AMD Polaris architecture is not compatible with the game Forspoken, which requires a higher version of the API functions. While the architecture supports the DirectX12 graphics API, Forspoken requires a higher feature level. The basic DX12 specification is supported by almost all graphics cards still in use [...]
