Powercolor showed us the way with the Silent-BIOS, today we follow with a tutorial for everyone that is suitable for everyday use: no more BIOS flashing and no more Wattman tricks, but a comprehensible manual that is easy to implement with our free MorePowerTool...

What’s the best way to annoy your competitors? By impressively showing who has the longest and greatest. And if you are a bit more subdued when it comes to price and can score points with features, then a product almost sells itself. Too much praise in advance? Honour to whom honour is due [...]
Powercolor sets a decent fragrance brand with the RX 5700 XT Red Devil - both in terms of performance and the massive cooler as well as in terms of price. There is also a Silent BIOS that really honors its name. But I don't want to spoil, I want to test. So it's best to read for yourself.
The MSI RX 5700 Evoke OC Edition was deliberately placed by MSI below the Gaming and Gaming X models in order to be able to operate significantly cheaper on the market. In and of itself, such an endeavour is also very praiseworthy, whereby of course it always depends on where the manufacturer has [...]
With our tests, I can now finally use the new laboratory, which makes many things easier and better for me. But we will write a walkthrough article in due time. By the way, I would like to point out already at the beginning that I was (and am) in connection with MSI in the course of the tests [...]
We are happy that our community member hellm has finished the software MorePowerTool (MPT for short) for the release and that we can offer this software here on our RTG page exclusively for download as well as the direct support in the forum. For the installation and use of the software you have to [...]
MSI didn't crack at the self-interpretation of the GeForce RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio, but probably used the unsuperrated model and took over almost everything 1:1, which was by no means a bad idea. An extremely potent cooler, which also works on the in-house RTX 2080 Ti, meets an above [...]
With the GeForce RTX 2080 Super, Nvidia continues on the path taken to upgrade all the current GeForce RTX once again and to replace the "older" cards step by step. In terms of performance, these are certainly measurable steps, but the potential buyer will certainly not get these [...]
I was looking forward to the respective interpretation of the board partner cards for the GeForce RTX 2060 Super and today I just start with an MSI RTX 2060 Gaming X, because it was the first card to arrive in the lab. Exactly and thoroughly with Tear Down as always...
During our test of the Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT, we had already made an initial comparison to present the capabilities of AMD RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening) technology, which allows image playback to be scaled up as well as in the native definition. Improved. We have also promised to examine the [...]
In contrast to Nvidia's restrictions, the default settings of the Radeon cards can be de facto eliminated and changed at will – be it clock limits, power limit or even the voltage. Always provided you have the right profile at hand. The whole thing is called SoftPowerPlayTable and can be [...]
In the meantime, some test samples have arrived in the laboratory and are just waiting for the test. But it's like the doctor, you always have to come nicely early and then still wait nicely until the sister Helga calls you in. And the order is decided by the Uncle Doctor anyway....
Overclocking has become a true popular sport, but with the AMD cards of the last few years it has always been a bit difficult. So now Navi comes and suddenly everything changes. Well, almost. Provided you change the cooler. And that is exactly what I did today. With a brand new Vector Radeon RX [...]
Introduction Three big launch items are actually impossible for a quasi-one-man show, since the double launch was already a real hurdle. But something is possible and always, so that there will be a longer article about Navi from me today, which also contains a quite exclusive part, which you will [...]
The GeForce RTX 2060 got several scolds for the launch, mainly because of the rather meagre memory expansion of only 6 GB, which was actually not appropriate for the purchase price. Now everything is supposed to be super and you are aiming with an EIA of 419 euros incl. Vat. in the end, a very [...]
The fact that the RTX 2070 is being upgraded is one thing, because this card hasnot sold so badly. The other thing is the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, which wants to scratch the RTX 2080, which in turn, according to the distributors and the board partner, does not really want to be sold - at least as [...]
You can start from scratch and work your way free, or you can rely on long-standing expertise, which you buy purposefully. EVGA has done the latter for good reason and, together with Audio Note, has launched the EVGA NU Audio as a plug-in sound card that does not want to crack, but wants to knock [...]
What is really behind the information about Thermal Design Parameter (TDP) or GPU Power and Total Board Power (TBP) and Total Graphics Power (TGP), amD and Nvidia graphics cards, and who adheres to the self-imposed specifications? Here are the answers...
Unfortunately, we have to point out that we had to withdraw the award for the headset in the meantime, because quality problems occurred in the long-term test, which are not acceptable in this price range. We apologise to our readers, but we are unable to fully uncover such shortcomings in the [...]
AMD has carried out the long-awaited presentation of Navi as part of the E3 and has already explained the most important thing during the event. Nevertheless, some questions remain unanswered, which I will have to clarify in the coming days or weeks. Unfortunately, this also includes AMD’s [...]
Unjustly misunderstood: PNY GTX 1650 XLR8 OC in review – pure use without external supply connection
It is still incomprehensible to me why at the launch of the GeForce GTX 1650 almost exclusively models with external power supply were offered for testing. The cards, which in my view are much more interesting, are exactly the cards without external supply. If an almost tiny card comes out, it is [...]
We know some heavy guys, but with the current GeForce-RTX models, Palit has taken a lot to heart, which has been repeatedly called for in the previous models. And the Game Rock Premium Edition (GRPE) really lives up to its name, because the part is a real mountain of graphics card, almost a small [...]
First of all, a company should be allowed to control and distribute the information about upcoming products without emotion. In this context, I think it's really positive that AMD's puberty speaker actions of the past few years have settled down. Well, the loudspeakers in question have now [...]
Today I received this news exclusively from several sales channels and it is all the more interesting that even in the headquarters of the large board partners the engineers were the last to get this information pierced. But what has actually been announced? Nvidia will remove the separation of the [...]
Galax / KFA2 GeForce RTX 2060 1-Click OC review – real savings buns or forced minimalism? | igorsLAB
The GeForce RTX 2060 1-Click OC from KFA2 deliberately places itself at the lower end of all GeForce RTX 2060, which is also expressed in the purchase price. But in addition to the savings that the manufacturer has to make for this, there are also various restrictions by the chip manufacturer [...]
