The latest Steam hardware survey data reveals an exciting development: AMD CPUs are gaining market share on Linux gaming systems, overtaking Intel. According to the published statistics of Steam’s hardware survey for the month of June, AMD CPUs have further extended their lead on Linux [...]
Graphic Cards
Sometimes you are blind or just don’t look closely enough. This surprises me, frankly, with the mass of reviewers, but then again, I wasn’t any better. After having examined some headers of the Founders Editions from the current Ada series more closely, I noticed something interesting [...]
ASUS has presented an interesting concept where they want to use the potential of unused PCIe lanes inside a GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card. Tony Yu, the General Manager of ASUS, has presented the idea of integrating a true Gen 4 M.2 SSD slot right next to the GPU on the same board. For this [...]
ASUS has set a new world record with its upcoming GeForce RTX 4090 ROG MATRIX by overclocking the graphics card to an impressive GPU clock of 3.94 GHz. The GeForce RTX 4090 ROG MATRIX was unveiled during Computex 2023 and is the top-of-the-line NVIDIA GPU from ASUS. The graphics card features an [...]
The king is dead, long live the king. Or the other way around: The findings of the last few months are finally taken seriously and the connector is modified, work is done on a new standardization and tests are carried out ad nauseam. The product is given a new name, although in the end it is only a [...]
During the announcement of its financial results for the third quarter of 2023, Micron shared information about the latest developments in various DRAM and memory products, including the future GDDR7 memory for graphics applications. The company said that it is working hard on the next generation [...]
With Cooler Master, we have another player in the monitor market. And with the GP27U, Cooler Master is damn serious and goes “all in”. The UHD panel with 3840 x 2160p resolution comes with a refresh rate of 160 Hz. The panel itself comes from AU-Optronics – Fast IPS and Quantum [...]
Yesterday we had the review of the MSRP cards, and today we mere mortals finally get to test the somewhat better cards. The fact that there was still a lot of room for improvement, without the test object having to drink itself to a cripple, shows once again that the “entry-level” [...]
Coffee fund was yesterday, today we have the pun fund. And to be honest, I’m exhausted. Not destroyed, but mentally and physically drained. When you compare the effort of the past seven days to what has been achieved and, above all, who has been reached and how, you just want to turn over and [...]
According to a recently released roadmap, announced during the ML Commons training results presentation and published by HardwareLuxx, NVIDIA has revealed the expected launch schedule for its next-generation GPUs and CPUs. The roadmap shows that NVIDIA has already confirmed that the Hopper Next [...]
We are familiar with assisted living, which definitely has a deeper meaning. Assisted benchmarking, on the other hand, makes less sense. And I admit it, I was thoroughly pissed off after a few hand-picked noble influencers held hands with NVIDIA (and certainly against their better judgment) and [...]
If an artist creates limited editions, which are supposed to keep the price exclusively high, then it is actually common that after reaching the edition target, for example, the copper plates are made unusable. If not, then reprints must be marked as edition XXX and they then cost significantly [...]
Over 13 years ago, I was concerned with the elimination of 2D hardware acceleration in Windows Vista and XP and made no friends for life with the driver team at (then) ATI in Toronto. The good thing about the two articles that hit like a bomb back then is that both AMD and NVIDIA started reacting [...]
More than 13 years ago, I published two articles that dealt with the problem of the lack of 2D performance of ATI graphics cards in particular at that time and also shed more light on the background. Because the upheaval at that time was enormous: graphics cards with the Unified Shaders instead of [...]
AMD is poking fun at the almost homeopathic memory expansion of the NVIDIA Ada mid-range, and NVIDIA feels secure enough with smart memory management, and in the end, the customer no longer knows what to buy. Although I do not question the issue of the too tightly measured memory expansion, because [...]
According to DigiTimes, it is reported that Nvidia is interested in evaluating SK Hynix’s HBM3E samples, as indicated by “industry insiders.” If this information is accurate, the next generation of Nvidia GPUs for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing applications [...]
The problems around this connection do not stop, but exact numbers about real cases of damage are always rare. Even lists in social networks, forums, or collective threads on Reddit do not accurately reflect the real damage that has occurred. The number of people who do not speak out publicly could [...]
We call ourselves Hardware Busters because one of our many missions is to debunk hardware-related myths. Today’s article and video are an excellent example of that! I got suspicious when I noticed an article on Tom’s Hardware titled: “User Reports 12VHPWR Connector Melting From [...]
The PC community is known for its ability to push hardware performance to ever new peaks. The days there was an impressive benchmark from a user called CENS on HWbot. CENS managed to overclock an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU to an amazing 3,930 MHz. This graphics card, which is one of the absolute [...]
We recently wrote about the LG UltraGear 27GR95QE-B in a detailed article, and I recommend it to those who already want to buy an OLED monitor. The OLED monitors are currently still quite expensive, but compared to some IPS or VA alternatives – especially the LG 27GR95QE – offers [...]
So far, NVIDIA’s H100 GPU has been the most energy-intensive chip for data centers since its launch, as it had a maximum rated power of 700 W. However, this situation will change with the introduction of the Instinct MI300X, which will have even higher power consumption s0ll. The AMD Instinct [...]
Whenever you think IPS panels have reached the end of their raison d’être, ASUS ROG comes along. They’re sending another monitor into the race to win the favor of eSports gamers. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQMR is a 1440p monitor with a Fast IPS panel and offers up to 300Hz refresh rate [...]
I admit, it was tempting to test the current Radeon Pro W7800 as a gaming card, because AMD’s offerings between the already launched RX 7900 XT(X) and the RX 7600 are conspicuous by their noble absence on the market. At least the Radeon RX 7800XT has been ready for a long time, only that the [...]
CD PROJEKT RED today released a new trailer for Phantom Liberty, the upcoming spy thriller expansion for the game Cyberpunk 2077. In the video, Phantom Liberty’s Narrative Director Igor Sarzyński and Senior Communication Manager Paweł Burza give a detailed look at the story and setting of the [...]
The latest GPU market share results for the first quarter of 2024 have been released by Jon Peddie Research. The data reveals a notable decline in shipments for NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel. According to the data, the overall UGP-AIB market declined -12.6% quarter-over-quarter and -38.2% year-over-year [...]
