A problem shared is a problem halved? Not at all, because the unique launch marathon starts today, where NVIDIA and AMD want to steal each other’s thunder! And if all that wasn’t enough, only the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti as Founders Edition or MSRP card without OC is available today. And when AMD unpacks the Radeon RX 7600 tomorrow, the OC [...]
NVIDIA officially unveiled its mid-range RTX 40 graphics card lineup today, which consists of three different models, although it’s not a real launch with benchmarks and unboxing yet. Of particular note here, however, is the RTX 4060 Ti, which will launch in two variants with 8 GB for an MSRP of €439 and with 16 GB of video memory (VRAM) for [...]
I didn’t really want to believe it at first, but after receiving feedback in the double digits, I combined what was pleasant for the customer with what was interesting for me. I analyze and repair the card at my risk, so that the buyer gets a working card back in any case and I am at least smarter in the end. The 30 Kelvin delta between GPU [...]
The rumors surrounding AMD’s RX 7600 graphics card are piling up, and with the GPU reportedly less than two weeks away from launch, some retailer prices have now been spotted as well. According to a report from VideoCardz and citing sources from Cowcotland, a French tech website, custom models of the RX 7600 graphics cards are expected to [...]
There have been rumors about NVIDIA’s plans to officially unveil the GeForce RTX 4060 graphics cards in May for some time now. However, it was unclear exactly when until now. According to a trusted source referenced by VideoCardz, NVIDIA is now said to intend for board partners (AIC) to start selling the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB as early as [...]
With the Gainward RTX 1660 Super (Susi), I am once again rescuing a graphics card that I had already tested extensively almost four years ago and that has also been in almost daily use since then. This ranges as a career ladder from the office to the recording PC (OBS) and the gaming use in the PC of my youngest son. And at some point the card got [...]
In our own blog post “Experience maximum ray tracing performance with AMD FSR 2 and the new AMD Radeon RX 7900 Series graphics cards“, the red team presents the benefits that are expected to result from enabling FSR 2 in various ray tracing games. Thanks to its open structure and seamless integration with game engines, the list of FSR [...]
Actually, a more detailed game review was supposed to be published here today, but I decided against it in the end. Because even though I had already invested several hours, I cannot justify pretending that everything runs so smoothly that it can be objectively benchmarked and evaluated. As this once again confirms the trend of knowingly offering [...]
I have combined the download sections into one page and instead link to the older articles with the tutorials in the software table. The download as such is only available on this page in a summarised form. Preliminary note and introduction Since AMD massively restricted the use of the SoftPowerPlayTables and thus indirectly also the MorePowerTool [...]
Paulo Gomes, the YouTuber and graphics card modder, has once again demonstrated his skills by upgrading a graphics card, in this case the AMD Power Color Radeon RX 5600 XT Red Dragon, with more video memory. He has increased the capacity of the card from the original 6GB to 12GB by installing faster 2GB 16Gbps memory chips. Compared to the recent [...]
So far, AMD has only unveiled two graphics cards based on RDNA 3 that are aimed at demanding enthusiasts with deeper pockets. Although it is obvious that AMD plans to add more models to its Radeon RX 7000 series, it remains unclear exactly which ones and when they will appear. However, a recently discovered AMD ROCm 5.6 pull request uncovered by a [...]
Despite all the features like higher power limit, 3-fan design and ARGB, the KFA2 GeForce RTX 4070 EX Gamer (outside EU sold as Galax) belongs to the inexpensive models of the GeForce RTX 4070 series, which are now also sold well below the MSRP. So good, so exciting. Because the current street price is around 629 Euros and is really a real [...]
I noticed especially in the so-called MSRP cards of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070 that NVIDIA still does intensive binning and here two quality gradations (“buckets”) are again quite restrictive selected in bin 0 (worse) and bin 1 (better). We still know this from the so-called “Non-A” and “A” chips in [...]
For the Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 7900 XTX Vapor-X 24 GB, Sapphire opens the very big cutlery box. Compared to the MBA card (made by AMD), the Vapor-Chamber works perfectly and does exactly what is expected of it. Even in the most outlandish living and installation situations. Together with a significantly higher power limit, the clock rate is [...]
It’s that time again: Latency Time for eSports enthusiasts and of course those who want to become one. Besides high FPS and low – constant – frame times, latency can make the difference between victory and defeat. Everyone has to reflect on their own skill in the respective game – self-critically – because [...]
Let’s start the graphics card week with today’s review of an RTX 4070 from Palit and an information that I also got confirmed in the meantime: NVIDIA will stop supplying its board partners for a few weeks. In the previous news, there was usually explicit talk about the GeForce RTX 4070, which is now also the case for the GeForce RTX [...]
The Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Dual 12GB in review is one of the cheaper GeForce RTX 4070s that are already sold well below the MSRP. So good, so unspectacular. Especially since Gainward’s “sister card”, the RTX 4070 Ghost (same manufacturer, different label, different look) has already cracked the pychological 600 mark with 599 [...]
I already wrote about the cheaper MSRP cards and the resulting cost down. With the GeForce RTX 4070 Verto 12GB, PNY tries to square the circle, so to speak, by not saving essential things, but only the rather unimportant ones. More voltage converters, fewer fans and instead of a massive cooler design, a cleverly stabilized lightweight [...]
I recently discussed the prices and the profit margins of the board partners for the GeForce RTX 4070 and also noted that there is hardly any financial leeway left for the manufacturers, especially for the cheapest models, i.e. the so-called MSRP cards (cards that are supposed to be sold at maximum MSRP). This is reflected on the one hand in the [...]
I already wrote a few lines about the so-called MSRP cards and the rather annoying cost-down. With the GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming X Trio, MSI brings the exact opposite design to the market, where they pretty much do everything right within the financial balancing act. A solid cooling solution, which we already know from the RTX 4070 Ti, a better and [...]
