In the last part of this short series, we looked at the setup and commissioning. We also used an example project to illustrate the functionality of the first available module – the pen holder. Today we continue with exactly that, but with a different attachment and module. If you missed the first part, you can catch up on it here: Initial [...]
With MoreClockTool 2.0 (MCT2), one of the best-known tuning applications for AMD graphics cards is entering a new round. Basically, nothing has remained the same. Both the frontend and the backend have been completely redeveloped; not a single byte has been left over from the first version. The new version is no longer just a little helper, but a [...]
With the current beta driver 101.6972, Intel has once again demonstrated that graphics development is more like a relay race with stumbling blocks than a sprint on the ideal line. The new version does bring a few targeted optimizations, but instead of enthusiasm, the feeling remains that they are trying, and not even unsuccessfully. To be found at [...]
Anyone who thought that NVIDIA would continue to cuddle up in its wedding bed with ARM while secretly displacing AMD GPUs must have missed the clattering in the RISC-V workshop. Because what has been quietly announced here is nothing less than a seismic tremor in the foundations of the AI infrastructure: CUDA is now running on RISC-V processors [...]
Yes, they still exist – the good news for Linux gamers with AMD graphics cards. While Windows users continue to fight their way through the driver jungle of adrenaline madness, some real heavyweights of the open source scene are working in the background on an update that is not just cosmetic, but brings tangible technology: The new RADV [...]
Tesla makes it official: the in-house AI integration “Grok” remains exclusively reserved for vehicles with AMD’s Ryzen embedded platform. Anyone still on the road with Intel’s Atom chips can sit on the bench, Grok only talks to Zen. Welcome to the age of on-board AI. What sounds like a sci-fi gimmick to some is the next [...]
The cat is out of the bag – NVIDIA is bringing a function called “Smooth Motion” to the RTX 40 series with the latest preview driver v590.26. What AMD users already know as “AFMF” (Fluid Motion Frames) is now being served up by NVIDIA with typical green labeling: more frames without the graphics card actually [...]
Some software updates slip unobtrusively through the ether like a BIOS patch on a Monday morning. Others, on the other hand, are Trojan horses that reveal an entire processor generation with a simple changelog. This is what happened with AIDA64 Extreme 7.700.7500 – for the first time, the tool explicitly lists AMD’s upcoming Zen 6 [...]
The open source library ZLUDA is back. And with a bang that echoes even through the thick concrete walls of NVIDIA’s developer bunker. After AMD had quietly and secretly buried the project out of legal fear and presumably after a few worried letters from lawyers, the developers are now back – independent, twice as strong (two [...]
The online store Dubaro, known for its customized PCs, is expanding its portfolio and now also offers gaming laptops. This step is a significant foray into the fast-growing gaming hardware market. Dubaro is responding to the increasing demand for powerful laptops that are not only suitable for everyday use, but also for demanding games and [...]
An obituary for a cult icon and a look behind the PR facade of an update that hides more than it explains. The older ones among us still remember: the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) has been an integral part of the Windows experience for almost four decades – as reliable as coffee on the night shift or the Windows Updater, which always came [...]
From CNN to Transformer – NVIDIA is radically revamping its Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). What sounds like a buzzword massacre turns out to be a serious technological leap on closer inspection. A commentary between technical fascination and strategic foresight. Old school out, new class in – why CNNs are now obsolete What do [...]
We have already tested several 3D printers here, today we are venturing to the next level of the home hobby factory together. Particularly practical: with this device, I don’t have to make any effort to approach it from the perspective of a beginner, and I’m not familiar with CNC and lasers either. As the whole thing is very extensive [...]
Sometimes you have to make a choice: Security or performance. Canonical and Intel have apparently now made this choice – against overcautious security dogmatism and in favor of a few percentage points more graphics performance. And who can blame them? If you spend years chasing a ghost that never materialized, at some point it’s okay [...]
When system control software for RGB light shows on Windows computers mutates into a security risk at kernel level, then the digital goat has finally become the gardener. This is exactly what is currently happening at ASUS with its universally pre-installed bloatware “Armoury Crate” – a tool that claims more rights than many [...]
Intel has done it again – this time in a positive sense. After the last Arc graphics driver (32.0.101.6874) in the MSI Claw 8 AI not only caused sound dropouts, but also massive drops in performance, the reset button has now been pressed with the new version 32.0.101.6877. And one that was obviously necessary to eliminate embarrassing noises [...]
With the new Adrenalin Edition 25.6.1 driver package, AMD is back in the race on the software side and is setting the course for the newly released Radeon RX 9060 XT. The list of FSR-4-compatible games has also been significantly expanded – a small comeback in the shadow of NVIDIA’s DLSS empire. RX 9060 XT: The little brother gets its [...]
It has become rare for NVIDIA boss Jensen Huang to talk about gaming without immediately drifting into AI spheres. This made his recent appearance at the Creator’s Voice event all the more remarkable, where he spoke almost maudlinly about the Nintendo Switch 2. According to Jensen, the new chip is a technological wonder. A statement that [...]
With Agility SDK 1.717, Microsoft has not just implemented a few new functions – it has poured a foundation on which the next generation of real-time graphics will be built. In an era in which ray tracing is mutating from a prestige feature to a baseline technology, Redmond is focusing on efficiency, parallelism and intelligence in the [...]
Windows Update Orchestration Platform: Microsoft’s new one-size-fits-all approach to app updates It sounds almost too good to be true – and that should give you pause for thought: Microsoft is introducing a new “Windows Update Orchestration Platform”, which in future will update all apps via a single channel. Operating [...]
