NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 and the crashes – Why capacitors are so important and what’s behind them

After my article about the capacitors on the GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 has made a lot of waves, I have to criticize myself in two respects. I had underestimated that the readers might be interested in a somewhat longer and more technical explanation of the circumstances or background and that secondly, the (thoughtless) adoption of the terms [...]


Not all Chips are equal – First information about the possible binning and the quality scattering of the GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 | Exclusive

Who doesn’t remember the good times when you beat an Intel quad-core Q6600 with G0 stepping, preferably at a DFI Lanparty with X38 chipset, towards the 4 GHz? Back then, Intel’s binning was quite easy. The good chips from the middle of the wafer, if it was a good wafer, got the highest VID and still ran the coolest. Those were the [...]


NVIDIA LDAT – Latency Display Analysis Tool introduced and tested

The fact that you generally use the FPS, i.e. the rendered frames per second, as a benchmark for the gaming performance, is common but actually anything but target-oriented. If you know my metrics in the graphics card tests, you will have noticed that for some years now, I have been using the frame time, i.e. the real render time of each [...]


Intel launches the 11. Generation Tiger Lake 10nm core CPUs with Xe graphics – Is the empire beating back against AMD? Benchmarks inside

Yesterday Intel officially launched its new Tiger Lake processors of the 11th generation. Generation with a brand new CPU and GPU architecture. The new Intel Tiger Lake CPUs are based on the company’s current 10nm++ node, which offers improved performance efficiency over Ice Lake processors. The Intel Tiger Lake CPUs will be marketed under [...]


Intel’s Xe-HPG gaming GPUs in the 6-nm process from TSMC? Launch of the graphics card line-up as early as 2021

Intel will probably launch its first discrete gaming graphics cards based on next-generation Xe HPG GPUs as early as next year. Unlike the Xe-LP and Xe-HP GPUs, which are manufactured in the company’s own 10nm SuperFin process, the Xe-HPG GPUs are to be produced in an external foundry, with TSMC being the most likely and promising candidate [...]
