First of all, we need to separate the terms and standards before we should even think about buying a new ATX 3.0 power supply. And to bring it right at the beginning times to the point: Panic buying is completely out of place and more or less intentional marketing! Or to put it more casually: in principle, no one needs the whole thing yet [...]
Dell Alienware AW3225QF gaming monitor review – Another 240 Hz UHD QD OLED? Yes, but this time curved!
AMD Radeon RX 8000 ‘RDNA 4’ GPUs: Rumors about 64MB and 48 MB Infinity Cache options
Can it run “Black Myth: Wukong”? Graphics cards on the verge of collapse, but lots of gaming fun
First sighting of the RX 8000 graphics card with RDNA4 technology from AMD at Geekbench

Text modules back and forth, you can already give yourself a little effort. Especially if the customer has purchased the premium product from the Nvidia store
Fast, quiet, cool and efficient don’t have to be mutually exclusive since the launch of the GeForce RTX 4080 16GB, and the MSI RTX 4080 SUPRIM X 16GB is no different. Unfortunately, it is also more, namely currently far too expensive. Even if the ex-factory selling price is already not squeamish, retailers tend to shift the value chain [...]

Today we can finally present the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Founders Edition (FE) including all technical details and the long-awaited benchmarks, because the suspense curve was already plenty big. Even though NVIDIA actually sees the card as the successor to the GeForce RTX 3080, it is still a challenge to the RTX 3090 and especially to the GeForce [...]
The 12VHPWR adapter for the GeForce RTX 4090 is unfortunately already a kind of running gag and so the topic is meanwhile beaten by all more or less well-informed media. A little unemotional reappraisal would certainly not be a bad idea to calm heated tempers and put the whole thing back on its feet. Therefore, today’s article is not only an [...]
We have already reported in detail about NVIDIA’s DLSS 3.0 and the option to generate and insert additional frames via frame generation. AMD had recently announced a similar feature and FSR 3.0 for next year. And interestingly enough, owners of a GeForce RTX 4090 and soon also the RTX 4080 can test exactly that right now, because we found in [...]
Since many users and especially YouTubers as well as twitchers still take the values of tools like the MSI Afterburner or AMD’s Radeon software for the power consumption of their graphics card at face value, I have to add something. The vast amount of videos that are supposed to show how much more “economical” graphics card A is [...]
Yes, NZXT now also has monitors in its own product portfolio, and we’ll take a close look at one of them today. It is the 24.5″ Full HD NZXT Canvas. It comes with an IPS panel and a refresh rate of 240 Hz. This also makes it clear which target group NZXT wants to address with it. The eSports players, or those who want to be. Even [...]
In order to keep the speculation factor as low as possible on the one hand and not to violate one of the NDAs at the same time, I have to elaborate a bit more this time. The real problem, however, was the extremely different puzzle pieces from both manufacturers in various announcements, which doesn’t exactly simplify a preview of raster [...]
Long awaited and now finally here: AMD presented the third generation of the RDNA architecture yesterday evening. The company also unveiled the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics cards at the same event. The former has a full Navi 31 GPU with 12288 stream processors, while the latter is based on a reduced GPU with 10752 cores [...]
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 [...]
So far, we’ve basically only looked at high-end gaming or a content creator monitor. We have not yet tested a pure office monitor. So today is the day. The MSI Modern MD272QP from 2021 faces our test program. It is indeed – a pure office monitor, as you can find it in almost every office. Expectations should not be too high now [...]
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 [...]
