You know how it goes: A friend brings over a graphics card that looks as if it has been invited by lightning itself: An alleged Gigabyte “5070 Ti”, with a veritable hole in the PCB, coking, black surface. The chip still seems to be intact. And now the madness begins: tinkering, soldering, bypassing and manipulating as if it were a [...]
Whether you play it yourself or not, the Monster Hunter franchise has been inspiring a huge fan base around the globe for years. With Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom has released the latest installment in the series, which got off to a somewhat bumpy start but still actively captivates tens of thousands of players to this day. To coincide with the [...]
The Intel Arc Pro B60 from Sparkle is in an exciting price range below 1,000 euros, in which several professional graphics cards are currently vying for the favor of demanding users. Its direct competitors include models such as the older NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada and RTX 2000 Ada or AMD’s Radeon Pro W7600 and W7700, which all cover similar price [...]
What takes a long time finally gets wet: After half a year of development, Sycom is presenting its self-developed, water-cooled GeForce RTX 5090 – a model that not only differs visually from the air-cooled standard, but also aims to set new standards in terms of cooling performance and design. The Japanese company has enlisted the support of [...]
With ROCm 7.0.2, AMD is once again taking its compute platform to a new level and expanding not only the hardware support, but also the functionality in the kernel and library stack. The most important step: The Radeon RX 9060 (non-XT) is officially included in the list of supported GPUs for the first time, further opening up AMD’s range of [...]
Old AMD graphics cards such as the RX 6800 XT or RX 6600 are currently experiencing an unexpected rebirth – and not because of a new driver update from AMD, but because of a curious mistake by the manufacturer itself. Specifically, it’s about FSR 4 (FidelityFX Super Resolution), AMD’s latest upscaling technology, which should [...]
The discussion about the 12V 2×6 plug and its thermally and electrically sensitive nature has now given rise to a new type of device that moves between pure measurement and active control. The aim of both approaches is to monitor or actively control the current distribution on the individual wires in order to avoid unbalanced loads and contact [...]
There are products that are not so much a response to a gap in the market, but rather the result of a collective failure that created the need in the first place. This is where the aqua computer AMPINEL comes into play, the ultimate solution to a problem that NVIDIA, together with the PCI SIG and its usual partners, initially created for itself in [...]
Some time ago, Microsoft announced that it would be launching its own handheld consoles on the market in collaboration with Asus. These are the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and the more powerful variant, the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X. The prices have now also been announced and they are definitely in a higher class. The ROG Ally is offered at a price of 599 US [...]
As chip giant Intel slowly but surely pushes itself back into the limelight of the AI market with Jaguar Shores, a report has now emerged that hints at an additional GPU design with low power consumption. The timing: to coincide with the planned launch of Jaguar Shores next year. The purpose: Inferencing with low power consumption. The message: [...]
Happy birthday, you little baby from hell! Your career once began inconspicuously, with the Microfit experiment on the GeForce RTX 3080. Even back then, it was clear that chasing several hundred watts of power through a connector that felt like it came from the basement. But people were proud of the innovation, and who dared to question the sacred [...]
With the ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT Monster Hunter Wilds Edition (MH 16G), the manufacturer is launching a graphically enhanced special version of its RX 9070 XT on the market. Technically, the card is based on the well-known Steel Legend model, but visually it pays homage to the game “Monster Hunter Wilds”. The backplate, fan design and [...]
Anyone who visited Gamescom 2025 this year was able to experience a lot: from long queues, exciting new game titles and expensive food to fresh hardware presented by various manufacturers. Perhaps some of you also discovered the new Asus monitor, which was presented as a revised version of the XG27AQDMGR. The first detailed information on this [...]
NVIDIA is apparently about to become the first customer to adopt a new manufacturing process from TSMC for the first time in over two decades – specifically the A16 node, which is being marketed as “1.6 nm” technology. If this proves to be the case, it would be a remarkable change of course: NVIDIA has traditionally let others [...]
A leaked prototype of an Intel Arc A750 with 16 GB GDDR6 and an alleged 512-bit memory interface is currently causing a stir in the hardware community. The images come from X user @komenezumi1006 and show an unusual model from GUNNIR, which is characterized by specifications that never officially existed for this GPU. An A750 with twice the [...]
I deliberately bought Cronos: The New Dawn myself when it was released. Also because I don’t jump over every PR stick that is held out to me with keys and beta mails and to be able to judge the game myself with the necessary distance and without being influenced. After 19 (nineteen!) emails, which practically every editorial team received [...]
The return of the legendary Lightning series at MSI seems to be getting closer – and this time with an arsenal of overclocking functions that will make enthusiasts’ eyes light up. At the center of it all is the developer of the popular MSI Afterburner tool, who claims to have gotten his hands on the first test samples of the upcoming [...]
According to reports from Wccftech, Intel is apparently preparing to launch its most powerful Battlemage graphics card to date. Specifically, we are talking about the Arc B770, which is based on the new BMG-G31 GPU die. Fresh data from an NBD shipping manifest provides evidence of this, showing a previously unknown packaging format for the G31 [...]
Before we move on to another product test this afternoon, I have an interesting piece of consumer information to share this morning. I have added further technical details that the manufacturer did not mention in its press release, even though these aspects are likely to be of particular interest to a professional audience. The Chinese [...]
You might think that anyone who screws an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 or even an RTX PRO 6000 into their rack in 2025 will be on the sunny side technically: Blackwell architecture, absurdly high computing power, perfect fit for LLMs, virtual machines or containerization. But anyone who believes that “flagship” is synonymous with [...]
