And the groundhog always says hello, or rather the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. The latest rumor is that NVIDIA has postponed the launch of the new card by one (more) month from April to May. Among others, ITHome also reports on this shift, but without going into more detail about possible reasons [...]

So what do NVIDIA Reflex and Boost really do in practice? Re-measurement in the self-experiment was announced, because I wanted to know it now nevertheless once more exactly. Blindly believing everything you read, hear or see is not mine either. Nvidia has more or less surprised us again and again [...]
In the meantime, in addition to the already extensively tested reference cards of AMD’s RX-6000 series, there are also various board partner cards – not for sale – which include the truly exceptional PowerColor RX 6900XT Liquid Devil. After some back and forth due to the [...]
With the Radeon RX 6700XT presented today, AMD rounds off the Big Navi portfolio downwards for the time being. The board partner cards may then be presented from tomorrow and there are already products in the pipeline for this as well. But more on that at the appropriate time. The Navi22 chip in [...]
Even though AMD has continued to compartmentalize the drivers, they haven’t touched the details for TGP, power levels, and fan control, as well as exposing many Wattman options. That’s where the MorePowerTool comes in (as always), with which you can still overclock and undervolt [...]
Once again a leak from TUM_APISAK and at the same time the information from the manufacturers to keep the ball currently a little bit flatter. But what’s new is that the specs of NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce RTX 3050 Ti and GeForce RTX 3050 graphics cards have surfaced, along with initial [...]
I have to preface today’s post with a little paragraph first, as I want to take the whiff of sensationalism out of it. Nevertheless, you have to write about it and you also have to test it out emotionlessly beforehand. The video from Hardware Unboxed didn’t even surprise me that much [...]
I was certainly a bit hasty with the announcement of the PowerColor RX 6900XT Liquid Devil at the time, because the card had already been here in the lab for some time and was also fully tested at that time. Since some coolers from EKWB (mine was not one of them) showed slight weaknesses in the [...]
The rumored gaming performance of the upcoming Radeon RX 6700XT fluctuates back and forth between a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and an RTX 3070, depending on the leak and benchmark, so it still remains a thick question mark. The same goes for the presence on the shelves, because although AMD promised a [...]
If one installs all BIOS updates for the motherboard and current drivers, then also with the older AMD graphics cards e.g. in the device manager and the properties the “large memory area” is indicated as available resource, which caused in the meantime many speculations whether and what [...]
Unofficially it went with the ComboAM4PI V2 1.2.0.1 already longer, but since 03.03.2021 AMD announced also officially the support of Zen2. Up to now, AMD required a current Zen3 CPU, a B550 or X570 motherboard and an updated BIOS. Or just a current Intel solution. Now also officially Zen2 and it [...]
The Radeon RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT have already been launched, the Radeon RX 6900 XT will follow on 08.12.2020. And what’s underneath? Nvidia blows out one card after the other with relish, because the GeForce RTX 3070 was already launched, the RTX 3060 Ti follows on 01.12.2020, the RTX 3060 [...]
The board partners are currently tinkering with the BIOS Generation Tool to make the implementation of the feature, announced for late March / early April, as user-friendly as possible. And of course, such measures also accompany various rumors, one of which, however, can probably already be [...]
And then there were three! After the Radeon RX 6900XT and RX 6800XT, the RX 6700XT is now supposed to delight gamers from 18.03.2021. But whether the MSRP starting at 479 Euros is really real and whether you'll be able to buy cards at all in the end remains to be seen. We'll wait and [...]
Load spikes that can cause even nominally adequate power supplies to suddenly shut down are all the rage right now, especially since the launch of NVIDIA’s current Ampere generation. It is also undisputed that this leads to the creation of legends and, of course, the accessories industry. But [...]
With the GeForce RTX 3060 introduced today, NVIDIA is now rounding out the Ampere portfolio on the downside for now. Since there won’t be a Founders Edition, I’m testing an MSI RTX 3060 Gaming X Trio instead, which shouldn’t be a problem in terms of comparability due to [...]
Already on 03.03.2021 AMD wants to present the continuation of the current Radeon RX 6000 graphics card family with RDNA-2 architecture. Generally expected (but not yet officially confirmed), however, is the assumption of a Radeon RX 6700 XT, the possible reference design of which can be seen in [...]
Darren McPhee, who we knew from earlier AMD times as “Director, Product Marketing and Content Strategy” (until 2015) and who then came from RTG via various detours to Intel to work there as “Director of Product Marketing, Discrete Graphics” until February 2021, has also [...]
You’ve seen a lot of things, even on YouTube. For example, a 500 watt power supply miraculously survives even a GeForce RTX 3080, while exactly this card even forced a 1300 watt Platinum behemoth to give up in the lab before the Ampere launch. Well, NVIDIA has meanwhile defused the boost and [...]
In the meantime, the rumors about the upcoming graphics cards from NVIDIA and AMD have also increased. While the launch of the GeForce RTX 3060 on 25.02.202 is visibly close, the launch of the Radeon RX 6700 (XT) is rumored for 18.03.2021. I had already published some of the possible key data of [...]
The mining industry, and it really is a billion-dollar market by now, is supposed to be fed with new (old?) GPUs to help equalize the current, very tight market situation. This is exactly the news that hit the press yesterday. But it also raises questions, because the whole thing doesn’t seem [...]
As a customer and connoisseur, one associates the Toxic with the most toxic and fastest variant of a graphics card series from Sapphire. There have been quite a few highly interesting graphics cards in history, which meanwhile already enjoy cult status and are true collector’s items. And then [...]
Let’s put it this way: it would have actually surprised all of us if NVIDIA didn’t use this hotspot reading as well. The only thing is that the usable interface for common third-party software is somewhat sparsely documented. It is only a question of time that sooner or later we will [...]
If you own a good subwoofer, you have to be very brave now. The neighbour is indirectly informed and here in the laboratory not only the fingers sweat. Yes, there is still something coming and going up! What exactly, you will find out soon. But it’s gonna be badly toxic, that’s for sure [...]
A proper water cooling makes sense for power losses over 300 watts and thus creates a real added value. With the Kryographics Next, Aqua Computer continues on its path of precisely crafted coolers and offers a GPU water block for NVIDIA’s current GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 refernce boards [...]
