Except for a recent announcement and a first launch, it has been very quiet around AMD’s Radeon Pro portfolio of professional workstations for quite some time, which also rely on certified drivers and ECC-RAM, because especially in the professional environment such standards have to be met. While NVIDIA has been left almost without a fight [...]
Things are starting to get interesting, as AMD’s portfolio of real-world graphics chips is also expected to grow again soon. During the digital Computex 2021 AMD already presented its new lineup of mobile graphics cards based on the current Navi GPUs. The three graphics cards announced there were the Radeon RX 6800M as the top dog, the RX [...]
With the generously dimensioned 7000 series, Corsair brings two full-tower cases with high-end requirements to the market. In this article, I want to put the feature-oriented Airflow version through its paces and find out if the 20kg Behemoth lives up to its claims. An all-in-one compact water cooling system can be installed by anyone, there is [...]
Patriot has once again made it exciting and even issued an extra NDA for this SUPERSONIC RAGE PRIME 1TB USB 3.2 stick. I must also preface this by saying that I had to do this test without a communicated MSRP, which might put some things into perspective later on. But I was really fascinated by this stick in many parts of this test, because it [...]
Since today again a so-called NDA test is pending, which may be published, however, only at 10 o’clock, there are until then 15 colorful consolation patches free on the house.

Finally a manufacturer has taken pity on itself to offer the SKILLER SGS2 Jr, a stable gaming chair for the target group between 6 and 15 years, which is on the one hand robust and on the other hand pleasantly stands out from all the unicorn, pirate and Mickey mouse chairs. Visually and above all ergonomically, this is a real gaming chair for the [...]
Who doesn’t know the ugly moment when you think you’ve almost finished the Windows setup and then suddenly the new machine gets stuck? You have partitioned the SSD accordingly, defined the partition for the installation, put everything on it, the setup starts the services, thinks to have prepared everything and then after the next, due [...]
Already at the launch of NVIDIA’s Ampere graphics cards, this feature was the talk of the town and subsequently on the wish list of those who want to move large amounts of data directly and without the tedious detour via the CPU. The DirectStorage function was promised for Windows 10, but is now only available from version 11. In the [...]
Well, on the one hand it is really funny and on the other hand it takes some getting used to in the beginning. But once you get the hang of it, you quickly become a Rembrandt with just a few, even clumsy, brushstrokes. The final step to perfection is taken by the AI, which turns rather meaningless line drawings into quite naturalistic images in [...]
Meanwhile, the partial ban on crypto mining in China has led to a massive drop in the price of graphics cards, and not just in Asia. While the RTX 3060 still cost well over 1000 US dollars in the end customer market in China in May, the AIC are now already supplying this card to the larger buyers again in part for well under 500 US dollars, which [...]
Reader requests are of course our command and so today we have a big comparison test with 6 popular 140mm case fans. And yes, fans are a dime a dozen, but in the end, which fan fits which system and which budget? Is a model suitable as a case fan and how does it really perform on different radiators? What about the real speed range, how high is [...]
After the last article about system latency (NVIDIA Reflex & Boost vs. Radeon Boost and ZERO vs. AMD Anti-Lag), we should urgently discuss a few things about testing. So today we’re going to take a look at NVIDIA LDAT in terms of the USB ports it uses. For this I tested two different possibilities regarding the use of LDAT. The AMD [...]
Ah, so that’s it! AMD has finally dropped support for its GCN GPU architecture, which includes the Radeon HD 7000, RX 200, RX 300 and Fury series graphics cards. This is a bit of a surprise, but not entirely unexpected. The mentioned graphics card families are thus put into the so-called legacy status and no further driver versions are [...]
With the new Prime series, Steelseries wants to offer performance-focused peripherals that have (once again) been developed together with eSports professionals. The lack of flashy lighting, visual bells and whistles, and the otherwise rather simple design will certainly appeal to normal gamers as well. What the new mouse can do is revealed in the [...]
Today, finally, the showdown over the best AI-based upscaling begins and AMD’s official FSR driver, Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 21.6.1, is now available for download. The driver enables support for the highly anticipated feature in select titles, as reported in the relevant media last week. The driver has been highly anticipated as it now [...]
Just in time for the start of AMD’s – long planned – counter-attack to DLSS, Nvidia is already countering preemptively. Expanding the usability of DLSS is likely to excite RTX graphics card owners. And for those who haven’t read it yet, here’s the link again to DLSS 2.0 and the appropriate explanation of Basic. Since [...]
Dare to Challenge – rarely has a slogan been more fitting than that of the Z590 OC Formula, ASRock’s new high-end overclocking motherboard! Intel’s latest mainstream CPUs of the Rocket Lake family don’t bring any big advantages for gamers, but for friends of memory overclocking the 11th generation opens completely new [...]
The fact that China’s most important container ports are only operating at half power and that we are probably heading for the next global supply disaster is extremely worrying, but it is not even the reason for the component problem discussed here in the second part. But first let us come to the general situation. Due to a recent outbreak [...]
I recently introduced you to the hardware brokers and published some internal prices of the “grey” market. Because we now also know where the stocks come from, when for example even the official distributors of the graphics card manufacturers wave off and lie dry. Because, as we now know, there is a kind of parallel universe of the [...]
