The MSI RX 5700 Evoke OC Edition was deliberately placed by MSI below the Gaming and Gaming X models in order to be able to operate significantly cheaper on the market. In and of itself, such an endeavour is also very praiseworthy, whereby of course it always depends on where the manufacturer has set the red pen and has to save in order to really [...]
With our tests, I can now finally use the new laboratory, which makes many things easier and better for me. But we will write a walkthrough article in due time. By the way, I would like to point out already at the beginning that I was (and am) in connection with MSI in the course of the tests concerning a modified BIOS with lower fan speeds. But [...]
We are happy that our community member hellm has finished the software MorePowerTool (MPT for short) for the release and that we can offer this software here on our RTG page exclusively for download as well as the direct support in the forum. For the installation and use of the software you have to follow some hints and rules, which we would like [...]
MSI didn't crack at the self-interpretation of the GeForce RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio, but probably used the unsuperrated model and took over almost everything 1:1, which was by no means a bad idea. An extremely potent cooler, which also works on the in-house RTX 2080 Ti, meets an above-average board, so this remains the case with the [...]
With the GeForce RTX 2080 Super, Nvidia continues on the path taken to upgrade all the current GeForce RTX once again and to replace the "older" cards step by step. In terms of performance, these are certainly measurable steps, but the potential buyer will certainly not get these performance gains at zero cost either. But we will write [...]
I was looking forward to the respective interpretation of the board partner cards for the GeForce RTX 2060 Super and today I just start with an MSI RTX 2060 Gaming X, because it was the first card to arrive in the lab. Exactly and thoroughly with Tear Down as always...
During our test of the Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT, we had already made an initial comparison to present the capabilities of AMD RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening) technology, which allows image playback to be scaled up as well as in the native definition. Improved. We have also promised to examine the result more closely with an HDMI grabber, the only [...]
In contrast to Nvidia's restrictions, the default settings of the Radeon cards can be de facto eliminated and changed at will – be it clock limits, power limit or even the voltage. Always provided you have the right profile at hand. The whole thing is called SoftPowerPlayTable and can be quickly implemented into the registry for the end [...]
In the meantime, some test samples have arrived in the laboratory and are just waiting for the test. But it's like the doctor, you always have to come nicely early and then still wait nicely until the sister Helga calls you in. And the order is decided by the Uncle Doctor anyway....
Overclocking has become a true popular sport, but with the AMD cards of the last few years it has always been a bit difficult. So now Navi comes and suddenly everything changes. Well, almost. Provided you change the cooler. And that is exactly what I did today. With a brand new Vector Radeon RX 5700 from EK Waterblocks, some water and a few tricks [...]
Introduction Three big launch items are actually impossible for a quasi-one-man show, since the double launch was already a real hurdle. But something is possible and always, so that there will be a longer article about Navi from me today, which also contains a quite exclusive part, which you will surely only be able to read here today. Because I [...]
The GeForce RTX 2060 got several scolds for the launch, mainly because of the rather meagre memory expansion of only 6 GB, which was actually not appropriate for the purchase price. Now everything is supposed to be super and you are aiming with an EIA of 419 euros incl. Vat. in the end, a very similar class of buyers. The question is still the [...]
The fact that the RTX 2070 is being upgraded is one thing, because this card hasnot sold so badly. The other thing is the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, which wants to scratch the RTX 2080, which in turn, according to the distributors and the board partner, does not really want to be sold - at least as far as the expected quantities are concerned. Price [...]
What is really behind the information about Thermal Design Parameter (TDP) or GPU Power and Total Board Power (TBP) and Total Graphics Power (TGP), amD and Nvidia graphics cards, and who adheres to the self-imposed specifications? Here are the answers...
AMD has carried out the long-awaited presentation of Navi as part of the E3 and has already explained the most important thing during the event. Nevertheless, some questions remain unanswered, which I will have to clarify in the coming days or weeks. Unfortunately, this also includes AMD’s (new) information policy, not having written [...]
It is still incomprehensible to me why at the launch of the GeForce GTX 1650 almost exclusively models with external power supply were offered for testing. The cards, which in my view are much more interesting, are exactly the cards without external supply. If an almost tiny card comes out, it is all the more interesting for upstarts in the entry [...]
We know some heavy guys, but with the current GeForce-RTX models, Palit has taken a lot to heart, which has been repeatedly called for in the previous models. And the Game Rock Premium Edition (GRPE) really lives up to its name, because the part is a real mountain of graphics card, almost a small mountain. But I don't want to pre-empt the [...]
First of all, a company should be allowed to control and distribute the information about upcoming products without emotion. In this context, I think it's really positive that AMD's puberty speaker actions of the past few years have settled down. Well, the loudspeakers in question have now almost completely migrated towards Intel and are [...]
Today I received this news exclusively from several sales channels and it is all the more interesting that even in the headquarters of the large board partners the engineers were the last to get this information pierced. But what has actually been announced? Nvidia will remove the separation of the TU104-400 and TU106-400, i.e. the GeForce RTX [...]
The GeForce RTX 2060 1-Click OC from KFA2 deliberately places itself at the lower end of all GeForce RTX 2060, which is also expressed in the purchase price. But in addition to the savings that the manufacturer has to make for this, there are also various restrictions by the chip manufacturer, which must be reconciled. You can read what exactly it [...]
