The speculations why NVIDIA introduces the AD103-301 on the RTX 4080 were quite manifold. It was rumored that the chip would ultimately be cheaper and could also save costs, and quite a few media and commentators in the forums already speculated about a price saving and of course also about the fact that the end customer would probably not get [...]

After Microsoft released DirectStorage 1.1 for PC systems with Windows as well as for current GPUs and NVMe SSDs, you can now also see the first performance benchmarks of the latest GPUs from AMD, Intel and NVIDIA compared to each other. The decompression of graphics files is improved by DirectStorage 1.1, which works equally well for Intel, AMD [...]
The Raijintek Morpheus is currently still the most popular and above all also the most potent air cooler for graphics cards, but the compatibility was somewhat behind the current graphics card generations from NVIDIA and AMD. I got myself a final version directly from Taiwan in advance, however, this cooler (as of yesterday morning) is also [...]
MSI is not the only company taking its time with announcing its own Radeon RX 7000 cards, Dataland and Vastarmor, two Chinese graphics card manufacturers, have not even released or announced any Radeon RX 7900 XT or RX 7900 XTX custom designs yet. And that is already one month after these SKUs were introduced by AMD. Interestingly, both companies [...]
Gainward was the first company to directly confirm the new variant of the AD103 GPUs, with MSI, Galax/KFA2 and Colorful also confirming this chip internally when asked by igor’sLAB. An updated chip, now called AD103-301, does not bring any changes for the end users, but can help board partners to simplify the board layout a bit, save space [...]
In keeping with today’s date, we continue with our Intel Raptor Lake silicon lottery data today, namely with the overclockable i7 and i5 SKUs. So whether your 13th Gen chip is a winner or a loser, you can find out today, among other things. At this point, I would like to refer to the previous article on the i9 chips, since the procedure for [...]
Almost a month after the launch of the Radeon RX 7900, AMD provides a document with details about low-level instructions for the RDNA3 architecture. This very sophisticated programming guide is intended for developers who want to take advantage of the architecture by using specific instructions that have been enabled or modified for the third [...]
The most popular overclocking tool programmed by Alexey will now continue without MSI support. The reason for this is the ongoing war in Ukraine , resulting in licensing problems. Due to sanctions, companies like MSI are unable to fulfill their obligations under the contract signed with the developer. Alexey himself lives in Russia. The MSI [...]
AMD releases the new Zen 4 CPUs without X in the name today. Of course, I was able to test the CPUs in the form of the Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 5 7600 in advance and also added the respective X models freshly. Even though these new CPUs might look rather unspectacular at first glance, the slightly lower price and higher efficiency could definitely [...]
Today for the weekend we have some light food. A few weeks ago, I switched my testing software – for my monitor tests – from DisplayCal to Portrait Displays Calman Ultimate. I had written a dedicated article on this and afterwards there was quite a tense disagreement in the forum (to put it mildly). The topic was not the Calman [...]
