The GeForce RTX 4090 has been launched, and with the 12VHPWR port, we’ll have to see how it develops, and that’s exactly why we’re turning to the pleasant side of life today. It would be boring to just write about the adapter all the time. And those who are really fluid could also afford the MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X [...]
Sometimes you also have to listen to your children and do a blind test once. Apart from the fact that there are obviously three or four adapter types with different solder pads and cables, the problem of the hot contact surfaces of the outer connectors must have a simpler reason. I already wrote on the subject of bending that the rigid pins in the [...]
First there were bent cables, then annoyed buyers of the at least 2000 euro expensive NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, no matter which model or manufacturer. The manufacturer of the 4-pin adapter from 12VHPWR to 4x 8-pin for older power supplies was also careless. And, of course, we learned something once again in the course of our investigations. Since [...]
That this will not happen without noise and a bigger wave with the faulty 12VHPWR adapter (“must break”), whose investigation I had published as an article and video this morning, was actually already clear before. But the fact that NVIDIA reacts so quickly and consistently to the prior reporting didn’t only surprise me. You [...]
That this with the faulty 12VHPWR adapter (“must break”), whose investigation I had published this morning as an article and video, will not proceed without noises and a larger wave, was actually already clear before. But the fact that NVIDIA reacts so quickly and consistently to the pre-reporting did not only surprise me. You really [...]
Those who are now beating up on the new 12VHPWR (although I don’t really like the part either) may generate nice traffic with it, but they simply haven’t recognized the actual problem with the supposedly fire-hazardous and melting connections or cables. Even if certain YouTube celebrities are of a different opinion because they seem to [...]
New curve options have been added. Of course we would be very happy about a feedback in the forum about the use of this new function! The More PowerTool (MPT) has been also revised once again for the detection of the installed graphics adapters (keyword Unicode) and also detects different variants of the driver entries. In case of doubt, the VGA [...]
I admit it, I just couldn’t resist the headline. After all, it’s the weekend and a short rest between all the launch actions that are more than just getting to the substance. Of course, I’m not just sitting in the office writing articles all the time, there are other things going on in the depths of the lab that allow me to sort [...]
I admit it, in a time where everyone is screaming for more and more dedicated memory on the graphics card, the concern of this tutorial today is rather incomprehensible for many. However, certainly only at first glance. Because all of this solves a problem very elegantly, which one might face (admittedly) very rarely, but nevertheless sometimes [...]
If you were lucky and had enough money to play with (5 Euros for the pun fund), you could still get hold of one of the few GeForce RTX 4090s in the wild, just in time for the launch. And the rest? If the 2000 Euros were and are too much for you (after all, the Founders Edition costs almost one Euro per gram) and you need something new right now [...]
I have been asked by some readers why our test results from the launch review were better for the GeForce 3000 series cards, especially in WQHD, than on quite a few other sites. Others, on the other hand, said that everything would have to be re-benchmarked now because the new drivers, which were released at the same time as the GeForce RTX 4090 [...]
Converting a GeForce RTX 4090 is easier than you think, but it is not free of small hurdles either. Especially if you want or need to convert the card back to air cooling later (e.g. sale or RMA). So today I’ll show you step by step how I disassembled the card and also cleaned it. And do yourself a favor (because I get mails almost every [...]
Who doesn’t know it, the funny adapter from NVIDIA, with which you can merge four PCIe 6+2 pin cables to be able to run graphics cards with up to 600 watts? If you only connect three plugs, you’ll only get 450 watts and with two plugs, the PC won’t start at all with a bit of bad luck. It also doesn’t matter which of the [...]
Today is finally the day, the RTX 4090 celebrates its sales launch. I don’t even want to talk about the prices now, maybe I’ll say something about that at the very end. Igor had already presented the general performance, power consumption, temperatures, etc. yesterday – as usual. I myself have been testing with the RTX 4090 for a [...]
The time has come and after an almost unbearable period of waiting and speculation, I can finally present the GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition (FE) today including all technical details and the long-awaited benchmarks. I already wrote an article about the origin of the mega-sized coolers, but that will remain only a (albeit important) side note [...]
Yesterday we were allowed to publish the first own pictures of NVIDIA’s upcoming graphics card generation, but we still have to keep quiet about further details up to the performance until the set launch day. Some clarification (certainly also in the sense of NVIDIA) would be urgently necessary. Because the outcry about the huge, heavy [...]
The third card in the bunch is the new MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM X 24 GB and we also take a first look at the massive card in this short review. The look is exactly as dominant as feared, but the benchmarks will soon have to show the rest. Purely visually, the card is also a nice eye-catcher. Tensed? Sure you do! The data may also be revealed [...]
Finally, the time has come. At least almost. Today I can show you some new GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB and in this case we see the NVIDIA RTX 4090 Founders Edition, so to say NVIDIA’s own product. The appearance is martial and the benchmarks will have to show the rest soon. The FE is a real eye-catcher from a purely visual point of view. The data [...]
Finally, the time has come. At least almost. Today I can show you some new GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB and we take a first look at the black Gainward RTX 4090 Golden Sample 24 GB, so to say the counterpart to the Palit Game Rock, only without the bulky plastic mountains. The performance is not even as dominant as feared, but the benchmarks will soon [...]
Yes, it’s winter again and the next hot hardware is just around the corner. Admittedly, summer is still a long way off, but it’s still getting warmer every day because the wattage of the components is also increasing so immeasurably. For a PC owner or self-builder, the topics of waste heat, cooling and ambient temperature (also [...]
