Normally, most new graphics cards come with triple-cooler ventilation to provide optimal ventilation when the graphics card is under heavy load or otherwise to avoid excessive heat. However, ASUS is probably taking a different approach with its latest graphics cards, which it has just announced. The company is presenting two graphics cards: the [...]
In a surprising move, NVIDIA has apparently started to use trimmed AD103 chips in some GeForce RTX 4070 GPUs. This change results in a 42.5% reduction in the maximum possible number of shaders to reach the level of the AD104. This is called salvage and such a recycling of leftovers is nothing new. The modification was first discovered by [...]
If you take a look at MSI’s AMD 7000 series cards, you will notice that the selection is dwindling. Hardware Unbboxed has also noticed this again. Igor had already discussed this at the time of RDNA2, for example why certain cards are no longer sampled. The answer at the time was the same as it is now: Radeon cards were not the focus and the [...]
According to a report from Kepler_L2,AMD may have discontinued development of the high-end Navi-4X GPUs with RDNA-4 architecture, but leaks and information from the source code give us insight into what could have been. These GPUs were reported to offer 50% more shader engines than the flagship Navi-31 GPUs of the RDNA-3 generation. The top Navi [...]
The NVIDIA NVK Vulkan driver for Linux has received a significant update, Phoronixand GitLab report, which is expected to significantly improve gaming performance through the implementation of implicit pipeline caching. This optimization technique allows the GPU to reuse rendered content and pipeline configurations, eliminating the need for [...]
Rambus should not be an unknown company to some. Among other things, it is known for its production of HBM, PCIe and CXL controller IP. Now it is continuing its portfolio and introducing its new GDDR7 memory IP, which is intended to further advance AI 2.0. First of all: What is the goal of AI 2.0? The aim is to obtain an interference model that [...]
Who wouldn’t want to play games with a GeForce RTX 4080 in a deeply relaxed manner and at the same time save themselves the expensive purchase of a powerful computer with a suitable CPU substructure that they don’t need around the clock anyway? Today’s article is based on an experience report by our community member Olligo and [...]
Although many see the PCI SIG as the originator of the ill-fated 12VHPWR or 12V2x6 connector, the PCI Special Interest Group (PCI SIG) is an industry-wide non-profit organization founded in 1992. Its members consist of hundreds of companies from the computer and electronics industry who work together to develop and promote standards for peripheral [...]
The company AAEON has presented its new Intel graphics card, based on Intel’s Arc A 770 GPU architecture. This is the next player after Biostar to enter the market with Intel graphics solutions. AAEON, an industrial PC company, has unveiled its new GRA-A770, which contains some interesting technical details. It measures 99 mm x 291 mm x 44 [...]
The two new GPUs, based on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, offer real-time ray tracing and support for generative AI tools on any workstation. The integration of AI into design and productivity applications is not only en vogue right now, but is continuously becoming the new standard and increasing the demand for more and more specialized [...]
Sapphire had already launched a white Radeon RX 7900GRE Pure 16GB shortly after the launch of the GRE in Germany, which I will test again today. Now that availability, prices and drivers have stabilized somewhat, today’s test was practically a must. Firstly, this GRE card lacks the drinker gene, as was the case with the Nitro, and secondly [...]
In a significant move to strengthen Linux support for future graphics products, AMD has integrated major updates for its RDNA 4 and RDNA 3 GPUs into the latest Linux graphics drivers, reports Phoronix. These updates bring both performance enhancements and new features, laying the foundation for optimal support of the next generation of AMD [...]
The MESA RADV Vulkan driver makes it possible: Hardware-accelerated H.264/H.265 encoding for AMD GPUs brings smooth video streaming and faster content creation, according to our colleagues at Phoronix. Fast H.264/H.265 encoding with RADV under Linux MESA’s open source RADV Vulkan driver for AMD GPUs has received a significant update that [...]
Just a while ago, there was a test between Intel’s Gaudi 2 and NVIDIA’s H100 accelerator. Now the latest generation, Gaudi 3, has been presented, which is even better than its predecessor. Gaudi 3 is equipped with the latest, i.e. 5th generation of the Tensor Core series with a structure width of 5 nm. Gaudi 3 contains 64 cores and is [...]
According to various media, including our colleagues at Computerbase, Intel’s next generation of Arc graphics cards, which are based on the Battlemage “Xe2” architecture, are about to be launched on the market. According to a report by Computerbase, Intel is planning to launch the new GPUs at the end of 2024, shortly before Black [...]
The next generation of NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards is already in the starting blocks and according to rumors, the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs will be launched in the fourth quarter of 2024. The new GPUs are based on the Blackwell architecture, which combines Nvidia’s latest innovations in graphics performance and energy efficiency. The [...]
This time it was Asus and the ears of the buyer, who had purchased an Asus RTX 4080 TUF Gaming just over a year ago. Why did I even bother with the root cause research and repair? As always, it’s a bit down to my curiosity and the fact that I find it hard to say no in justified damage situations once something has triggered me. The affected [...]
Spring has arrived and the first cherry blossoms are showing their leaves. Cherry blossom petals are particularly eye-catching due to their white-pink color and for this reason PowerColor has introduced a new Hellhound Radeon RX 7800 XT, which has been designed entirely in the sakura style. Sakura is a Japanese word and means cherry blossom. But [...]
The unexpected often happens. And perhaps an Asian graphics card manufacturer is returning to the German market, which has scored highly in the past with interesting graphics card conversions. In addition to all the gaming products, where this manufacturer has made quite a splash in Asia in recent years with its exuberant coolers and add-ons, it [...]
The PCI-SIG company announced in a new update that it is continuing to work on its new PCIe 7.0 generation and has now revealed further details about its work and development. PCI-SIG is the company responsible for the entire PCIe generations and is therefore the brains behind the whole thing. Since the announcement at the US DevCon in June 2022 [...]
