Nvidia’s mysterious 12-pin connector for the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090, “Chinese whispers”, rumors, senseless panic and a matching cable from Seasonic | Background Story

Since the new 12-pin sockets are so well known and one of the NDAs has fallen in the meantime, one should also clean up some of the rumours, mistakes and confusion. In the end, only a small communication lapse led to half of the power supply industry suddenly gasping for breath in panic and hyperventilating within a few days. But I want to unravel [...]


Why the GeForce RTX 3070 is the most important warrior for NVIDIA and so dangerous for the rest – Just buy it? | Editorial

So now it has only just begun, the complete RTX’ing of the whole universe. Because if up to now either the prices for the powerhouses or the missing muscle weakness in the lower shelf area were gallantly in the way of a traced mass infection, now finally also for the small price people we will se nice amping and shading! I admit, the price [...]


With NVIDIA and DLSS 2.0 on the eco-trip from Turing to Ampere? Saving power against the trend is more than a nice gimmick!

Today’s article is actually more of a random product, because during the preparations for the Ampere launch I not only renewed and significantly expanded the test system, but also all the metrics and graphics for the evaluation. this is exactly where the whole test starts, because the depth of the evaluation was not possible in this form [...]

For now. And not everyone can get their hands on an Erlkönig with unicorn rarity for [...]


Wavemaster Base 2.0 Stereo active speakers in review – Small, affordable and a (not only) optical déjà-vu with Bluetooth

Wavemaster has been offering a small pair of 2.0 stereo loudspeakers for some time now, which were deliberately placed below the Cube Mini Neo. And since I don't only test high-end, but also like to browse the budget area for bargains for my readers, the almost 70 Euros are actually not a hurdle. And if I have to be honest, I had a real déjà [...]


Notebook self-assembly kit: an XMG Apex 15 from Schenker as a barebone with my own CPUs from Ryzen 3 3300X to Ryzen 9 3950X in a test | Part 1 – Assembly

The German notebook manufacturer Schenker had already presented the XMG Apex 15 some time ago, so I am not presenting a world first here, of course. Since one can fall back on socketed CPUs from AMD with the Apex 15, because a B450 board with socket AM4 is used, this notebook makes it quite interesting for me. Except for the built-in graphic unit [...]
