What lasts for a long time must probably just be good. After a long wait, the time has finally come and the Aqua Computer kryographics NEXT 2080 Ti, announced at the end of 2018, completed my test run at the weekend and passed with flying colours. Without wanting to spoil: the patience was really worth it! Even if a few trivialities still signal a [...]
Today, we're clarifying what's behind Nvidia's announcement that adaptive sync procedures will open up, which krietria need to be fulfilled, and what it all means for desktop monitors and notebooks. Many details are also not to be found in the official statements. That's why we summarized all this as an FAQ in a guide once...
First of all, a warning to all those who think that I have committed myself again. But: Sharkhan is not Sharkoon, but a brand of Chenglin Inc. from South Korea. Don't you know? Don't worry, because the company has only been around since 2017. The selection of products is also very manageable, but with the Sharkhan Extreme XTC-4 you would [...]
What would the world be without the Universal Serial Bus? In any case, i do not think that the ones we know now, that is for sure. But what could you do if you want to test a TV stick because it keeps crashing? Does it draw too much power or is it due to the software? How much "juice" does my phone still have or is the battery really [...]
Our forum member and senior moderator helpstar recently created an interesting tutorial in the forum, which (especially for newcomers and laymen) sees itself as a kind of easy-to-work checklist for emergencies. There's the ultimate help thread...
With the Watercool Heatkiller IV for RTX 2080 Ti I would like to introduce the third fullcover water block in detail, which has to face my stress test honestly. The fact that the test sample only came now is mainly due to the high demand and the fact that the parts were always sold out as a result. But at some point almost every part ends up here [...]
The firmware of the last generations of Nvidia is relatively easy to read (not only) in terms of expected power consumption and power limits with Nvidia's NVSMI tool. This is nothing new in itself, but I have written a 1-click batch file for the more inexperienced readers, which makes the tedious hanging through the directories obsololet.
One finds again and again possibilities to further improve a product that is good in itself and to punish the supposed greed of the accountants with only a few cents of material use nonchalantly. Far more than 90°C below the memory you don't have to find really nice now, but why did the dear Lord God create the so-called thermal guide pads [...]
You know and hate it, the beloved moment when a power supply suddenly switches off in the middle of the game, even though it is new and shows no other abnormalities. The annoyance of the users becomes even greater if one believes that the power supply size has also been calculated correctly. But is that enough for the manufacturers of graphics [...]
I had already teased this follow-up in the launch article for the Radeon RX 590 and thus also promised the readers, only such a cluster of never-ending measuring series then takes a little longer than expected. After a few hours, I stopped counting how many times I was subvolting towards the desktop or the Back/Greyscreen i crashed. But in the end [...]
White egg in front of white wall? I know I don't do myself any good in advance, if I have to start photographing and releasing all the white components individually. Let's see what comes out of it and how much time goes flute for it again. The ulterior motive for this special build, however, is quite simple, if I may say so. Play instinct [...]
First of all, I would like to put two important things before this test report. First, such things that we will do below are certainly not prohibited on the finished product, but anything that goes beyond simply reading and writing the BIOS data is already in the grey area between healthy play instinct and reverse engineering. And it is also quite [...]
Our French colleagues were present on Thursday, 18 May. On 1 October, in Bordeaux, he visited an almost completed building. This is nothing special in itself, if a small detail were not completely different. And so, in the end, you face a world first, which is to provide the future inhabitants with free heating thanks to Qarnot, a French company [...]
Update from 21.10.2018 – 19:30 In addition, the forum user Vipeax (not only in our forum) has linked a patched version of Nvidias nvflash64.exe for download, with which cards from different manufacturers (subsystem ID) are also flashed with each other with BIOSen of other manufacturers and cards Can. Nvidia had accidentally forgotten the [...]
In my two articles "GeForce RTX 2080 Ti – Why water cooling is more important than manual overclocking and this brings very little" and especially "Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition water-cooled? Forget it, here's the much faster alternative!" I've already discussed in great detail the cooling problem and the [...]
In my two articles "GeForce RTX 2080 Ti – Why water cooling is more important than manual overclocking and this brings very little" and especially "Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition water-cooled? Forget it, here's the much faster alternative!" I've already detailed the cooling problem and the advantages of a [...]
Two very unequal sisters The fact that the Founders Edition of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2080 Ti would have particularly good chips is not only an urban legend, but complete nonsense. Clock-adjusted and provided with the same BIOS, e.g. the board of my press sample from Nvidia water-cooled also no better than e.g. the KFA2/Galax RTX 2080 Ti OC [...]
I have always wondered (and in the end also annoyed) why the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti behaves so divertily unwilling when manually overclocking and why ultimately the Founders edition, if you really cool it down, at the same time as your Power Target the limit of what makes sense. Squinting at the card with the highest Power Target ex works and the [...]
If you are not yet so familiar with the subject matter, I strongly recommend to you to get started and better understand my basic article "Basics GPUs: Power Consumption, Power Supply Conflicts & Other Myths" (opens in a new tab/window), which provides the most important information for the following. In the entry article for Turing [...]
5 Keys draw – The raffle is complete and the 10 winners have been drawn! First of all: the legal process was and is of course excluded as always! The closing date for participation was 06.09.2018 at 23:59. Duplicate entries were considered a violation and, to be fair, could not be taken into account. The received mails were routed to a [...]
