A highlight among these announcements is the introduction of DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction, a feature that will be available for all GeForce RTX series GPUs starting with the RTX 20 series in the upcoming fall season [...]
Users now have the ability to experiment with the BIOS of NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards as if it were 2013 all over again. Over the past decade, NVIDIA had effectively curtailed the practice of modifying video BIOS by introducing strict BIOS signature checks. The introduction of the “Falcon” on-die security processor with the GeForce [...]
Continuous driver updates from Intel boost Arc GPU performance Intel’s graphics driver team has been releasing continuous updates for their discrete Arc GPUs since the launch of the Arc series.

This tool is for post-mortem analysis of GPU crashes (sounds really exciting) and allows developers to retrieve and analyze AMD GPU crash dumps. The information generated assists in determining the cause of the crashes. They include page fault details, resource [...]
Unfortunately, Intel only provided us with the latest information late yesterday evening and I was still busy in the lab with the Radeon Pro W7600 at that time and fully booked this morning. Nevertheless, I took the time and summarized the most important things from the recording for you. Basically, it’s a really noteworthy driver update [...]
Actually, everything looked so good when I recently started the big roundup of workstation graphics cards and also published the first part with all four new Radeon Pro graphics cards. The cards didn’t perform badly, on the contrary. But I already noted things during benchmarking back then that I definitely wanted to re-test. Especially [...]
Actually, after almost 2 weeks of endless benchmarks and the first roundup of the new workstation graphics cards, I wanted to quickly cover the new Radeon Pro W7000 series as a separate article and draw a preliminary line before the next cards. So, the four new cards with beautiful, unique product images (which I’ve already done) and all the [...]

The latest version 1.01 of the MoreClockTool is online. With the use of the AMD Device Library eXtra Software Development Kit (ADLX SDK) RDNA3 is now also included. For older cards we still recommend the MorePowerTool MPT and the use of alternative drivers, which can be found e.g. as “resurrected” Omega drivers at . The new MCT offers [...]
I wrote today’s article less than a year ago, so it’s not really “retro” yet, but somehow it’s time to bring it back up in this section on Saturday. I receive so many letters and enquiries on the subject that I think this article simply deserves to be here, and it certainly takes some of the pressure off me because I [...]
Another OLED monitor from LG wants to be tested. Most will already know the panel from the Corsair Xeneon Flex. The two share the genes. The WOLED panel comes from LG displays and measures 45 inches diagonally and is 800R curved. Unfortunately, the display only comes with a resolution of 3440 x 1440p at 240 Hz refresh rate. Personally, I would [...]

This represents the first update since mid-June and brings several new features and improvements. One of the significant changes in AMDVLK 2023.Q3.1 is the integration of support for Phoenix APUs. This will enable smooth [...]
Today I’ll take a look at a monitor that is often recommended by YouTubers as a cheap entry-level gaming monitor. The monitor only costs about 110 Euros when new. I was able to buy the monitor for 75 euros (still with foil on it) almost new via classifieds. I myself don’t need the Samsung Full HD monitor – also known as [...]
Even 10 years ago, I was already taking apart graphics cards and looking for causes of anomalies. At that time, of course, I still wrote in “we” form, because the big editorial offices almost always demand the subordination of one’s own ego to the conformist mass of employees. Just in case anyone was wondering, that was the way [...]

Remnant 2 is another Souls game, and it actually does everything right that Souls games do well. It’s challenging, rewarding, and offers a variety of worlds to explore and battles to fight. But it’s also a game that will frustrate you from time to time. You’ll die, and die again, and die again. But when you finally manage to [...]

These graphics cards have a memory capacity of 8 GB and are specifically designed for entry-level professionals. So far, AMD has served the high-end professional market with the Radeon Pro W7900 and W7800 RDNA 3 GPUs [...]
It has been repeatedly rumored that AMD’s Radeon drivers have a long and not always stable history in terms of reliability and performance issues. Nevertheless, this seems to be happening less frequently as mature and stable driver releases (with certain exceptions) seem to be becoming the norm for Team Red. The assumption that AMD drivers [...]
Since people keep asking: Today’s test will once again show in measurement series how to properly apply a purpose-built thermal paste on large GPUs. The selection of a suitable paste and the appropriate method determine success or failure. And I’m not just making this up as I go along, because much of what is shown here in a manual [...]
