What the leaks about NVIDIA’s new cards are good for, what is true and why kopite7kimi sometimes seems to be “wrong”

Nothing against leaks, because they satisfy everyone’s curiosity to a certain extent, on the contrary. As you know, I know that quite well myself. Much of this more current information also came from kopite7kimi and it was also the case that they seemed to contradict each other in sometimes rapid chronological succession. Now, you can of [...]


AMD’s Pitcairn with 768 SPs in review: The chip that was unfortunately never allowed to exist as Radeon HD 7830 | Retro

Why do you think there was no HD 7830, but the rather unloved HD 7790? We had reported in a news item back then that we came across a board during the test of a new Radeon HD 7850 in the rare singleslot design, which didn’t contain a normal Pitcairn chip with 1024 shader units, but a weaker engineering sample with only 768 shader units [...]


It’s over 7000! – Teamgroup DELTA RGB DDR5-6400 CL40 2 x 16GB kit Review with Overclocking and Teardown

Teamgroup has been offering some of the fastest memory modules for the platform with the T-Force DELTA DDR5 kits almost since the launch of Intel’s Alder Lake CPUs.

KFA2 GeForce RTX 3080 Ti SG (One Click OC) 12GB in review – Solid performance and even a bit cheaper in comparison with others

With the KFA2 GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, I’m happy to fulfill the desire to once again test a single card that isn’t at the very top of its already hefty price range within its performance class. At currently less than 1150 Euros, it is already back in rather “normal” regions, because just under a year ago we were already at just [...]


JEDEC vs. Intel DDR5 specs – timings tRRD_S, tRRD_L, tFAW and tRTP in benchmark tests with Alder Lake

Today I want to talk about a guilty pleasure of mine, the overclocking of RAM, more precisely DDR5 and its timings. There is a strange difference between the specifications of JEDEC, the standard’s committee, and the Intel specifications of the Alder Lake CPUs of the 12th generation. And even though the exact functionality of the individual [...]


10 years ago: Powercolor HD 6850 SCS3 in review – Passively cooled new graphics star or burning comet? | Retro

This was already true 10 years ago: Passively cooled mid-range graphics cards have become rare exotics. Often enough, the power loss to be dissipated and thus also the heat generated are too great. Passively cooling these cards requires not only a sophisticated cooling solution, but also the right operating environment. Powercolor has not changed [...]
