The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is officially in the line-up with 32 GB GDDR7, but what is currently happening unofficially in China goes beyond the norm, report our colleagues from Wccftech. The first custom-made models with a whopping 128 GB VRAM have been spotted. The price? Around 13,200 US dollars per unit. These are no longer gaming cards, but [...]
Perhaps some of you are familiar with the problem: you are playing a game in full-screen mode and want to switch windows briefly, but instead the screen goes black or it takes a moment for everything to react again. For players who like to switch between windows, this wastes time unnecessarily and can also cause a crash. This is exactly where the [...]
The Arc Pro B50, officially launched today, positions itself directly against AMD’s Radeon Pro W7500 and NVIDIA’s RTX A1000 in the entry-level segment of professional workstations. The focus is on compact systems with ISV certifications, low power consumption and predictable behavior. A key differentiating feature is the memory [...]
I recently reported on RMA problems with Asus using a very specific card that the buyer had sent me, including all documents, emails and the recorded RMA process. This is not an isolated case, as other readers have also contacted me in the meantime to tell me about their experiences with the Asus RMA and where a spring screw on the voltage [...]
The PNY RTX 5070 OC is positioned as a classic butter and bread card, it should serve the mid-range segment, deliver solid frame rates and make the red pen of the purchase visible without exceeding the functional limit. It is precisely in this area of tension that the typical component mix of modern mainstream cards is created: the GPU and the [...]
Update Cause research: Capacitor defect on a PNY GeForce RTX 5070 with announcement and prior warning Original news A loud popping noise followed by the acrid smell of burnt electronics is how one user on Reddit described his most recent experience with a brand new PNY RTX 5070. During a session of the game “Marvel Rivals”, a component [...]
AMD’s upcoming RDNA-5 architecture is already causing a stir in the GPU landscape long before the official launch. The well-known leaker“ZhanZhongHao” from the Chiphell forum claims to have learned that AMD is doubling the number of shader cores per compute unit (CU) to 128 – previously it was 64. This means that the [...]
MSI has officially launched its first MLG Edition System Bundle, joining the current trend of positioning hardware not just as a technical component, but increasingly as a merchandise product with collector’s value. The package consists of the new B850 MLG mainboard and the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16G OC MLG Edition and is available in the USA [...]
The Intel Arc Pro B50 has appeared in the Geekbench benchmarks for the first time, providing a first impression of its positioning on the market. Technically, it is a slimmed-down version of the BMG-G21 GPU based on the Xe2 architecture. While the sister model Arc B570 has 18 Xe2 cores, the Pro B50 only has 16 cores. The fact that this is [...]
On August 29, 2025, Ant Esports presented the ANT275PQ MAX, a monitor that is supposed to set new standards on paper: 540 hertz at QHD resolution, implemented on an IPS panel with HKC’s high-mobility oxide backplane. Technically speaking, this is a statement, but the crucial question remains: Is this real progress or the usual race for ever [...]
Today’s article grew out of a series of concrete observations in everyday testing that prompted me to take a closer look at the PCIe slot and the add in card edge connector mating interface. In my test systems I generally use PCIe 5.0 riser cards to avoid repeated plugging and unplugging at the motherboard, since the slot does not get better with [...]
Today we’re doing something different, because I have a test object that somehow wants and has to manage the balancing act between needing, wanting and must-to-have as well as its own finances. Personally, I see the Corsair Xeneon Edge as a narrow additional screen for the desktop, intended for content that you want to keep in view at all [...]
When it comes to hardware, there is a wide range of different graphics cards to choose from. The two dominant series traditionally come from AMD and NVIDIA. However, the American manufacturer Intel is also represented in this segment, for example with its “Intel Arc” graphics cards. The company Sparkle has now presented its new model [...]
The recently launched ASUS RTX 5080 Noctua Edition has caused quite a stir with its brown-beige cooler design, three Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 fans and a massive quad-slot heatsink including eleven heatpipes. Technically a tour de force, aesthetically a matter of taste. But the central question remains: Why put so much development effort into an RTX [...]
With the 7G100 series, the Chinese company Lisuan Technology is presenting a GPU generation that not only insists on technical independence, but also sends a clear signal in the direction of geopolitical independence. The cards are based on the “TrueGPU Tiantu” architecture developed entirely in-house and should be able to keep up with [...]
Samsung has secretly unveiled two new monitors to the public at Gamescom 2025 – which is taking place in Cologne until Sunday. The new model operates under the model name G7 G75F and is being launched both as a 4k version with 37 inches and 165Hz, as well as in the original WUHD resolution (5120×2160) in 40 inches with 180Hz, making the [...]
It was a classic misstep with symbolic character: AMD accidentally published the complete source code of FSR 4 on GitHub. A clumsy move, but one that provides more insight into the company’s internal strategies than some might like. Even before the repository was taken offline again, observers secured evidence of an INT8 model – a [...]
A well-known problem is making a comeback, report our colleagues at Wccftech, this time on the red side: the first case of a melted 16-pin power connector on an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT has been reported on Reddit. The user concerned was using an ASRock Taichi OC version of the card, which – unlike many other models of the RX 9070 XT – [...]
ASUS is celebrating 30 years of ROG – and, as befits a brand that has never been known for understatement, it’s doing so with a technical chunk that screams louder than any press release: the ROG Matrix RTX 5090 30th Anniversary Limited Edition. The card is not just another RTX model with a flashing RGB aura, but a deliberately [...]
The Galax RTX 5070 Ti Hall of Fame is anything but an ordinary graphics card. From the very first glance at the board, it is clear that this is not just a 5070 Ti, but a PCB that is more reminiscent of the upper class in terms of its dimensions and design. In fact, the PCB is so generously dimensioned that it can almost be described as completely [...]
