AMD is heralding the start of the long-awaited FSR “Redstone” update this afternoon. As a reminder and appetizer, I would like to summarize the information, leaks and speculation circulating in advance, i.e. factually compact and without judgment. This update is considered the biggest leap for AMD’s FidelityFXSuper Resolution to [...]
With the Radeon AI R9700, AMD presents a graphics card that is clearly aimed at users who require high computing power for games and productive workflows and at the same time increasingly rely on AI acceleration. For my test, I had a model from board partner ASRock at my disposal (Creator series), which was provided by PCGH partner Krotus. This [...]
Rumors about the release of the Intel Arc Battlemage BMG-G31 have been circulating for some time now, claiming that this new card will bring more performance and significantly more power and will be launched on the market as early as the fourth quarter of this year, but so far this has remained just a rumor. Now the graphics card appears to be [...]
In this article, I deliberately do not want to follow the common expectation of judging the performance of a thermal interface material based on individual Kelvin or supposed peak values. Such comparative figures often appear more precise than they actually are in a real system. The decisive factor is not the isolated thermal conductivity of a pad [...]
In the private home cinema era, HDMI has established itself as a universal interface, which at first glance gives the impression that audiovisual signal transmission is reduced to a simple plugging in of a cable. However, HDMI remains a complex high-speed protocol that only works flawlessly if all the components involved are technically correctly [...]
When a young company with an explicit history of US sanctions is oversubscribed over 4,000 times at its IPO, it is either pure speculation or a geopolitical wake-up call. In the case of Moore Threads, both are true. The Chinese GPU start-up, founded in 2020 and led by ex-Nvidia China boss James Zhang Jianzhong, not only triggered a capital market [...]
What was previously only possible with shunt mods and soldering work is now done by ASUS on the software side: The 800-watt XOC BIOS of the ROG Matrix RTX 5090, which costs around 4,000 US dollars, was successfully flashed on cards from Gigabyte, PNY, Palit and MSI. Result: Massive boost clocks, thermal escalation and potential collateral damage [...]
In a future where Earth no longer belongs to humans, but is controlled by an artificially controlled machine power, a small remnant of survivors struggle to have any prospects at all. The surface has become a hostile territory, no longer a place of civilization, but a hunting ground for the ARC units, a technologically superior, relentlessly [...]
Just a few days ago, Activision released Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, the latest installment in the series. However, the launch was anything but ideal for many players. Complaints about technical problems are piling up on Steam, which are significantly dampening the gaming experience. However, another issue is also causing additional discussion, as [...]
In the shadow of the AI euphoria and tense DRAM markets, NVIDIA is planning a new attack on the upper GPU class with the RTX 5080 SUPER. But what’s behind the upcoming flagship of the SUPER series and why could the launch be bumpier than expected? As with the RTX 40 SUPER series, NVIDIA is once again using the SUPER models as a tactical [...]
Asus’ 30th Anniversary Edition of the GeForce RTX 5090 is called ROG Matrix Platinum and deliberately plays in a league where price and purpose are no longer evaluated according to consumer logic. 4.099.90 is not a price peak, but an access control: those who pay it do not want “even faster” out of the box, but a tool that [...]
ASUS has unveiled two new 27-inch monitors with OLED tandem technology. Clear the stage for the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W and the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG. These are two models that should make gaming hearts beat faster. First of all, the question arises: What does Tandem actually mean? According to ASUS, tandem technology offers several [...]
NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 SUPER GPUs have reportedly been delayed to Q3 2026 as a direct result of the recent DRAM shortage. NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 SUPER models have been reported to be delayed due to ongoing DRAM shortages, particularly in 3GB GDDR7 devices intended for the refresh lineup. Part of the rumors was even a possible [...]
When a manufacturer prepares to fundamentally rebuild its GPU architecture, it’s worth taking a closer look. This is exactly the case with AMD’s upcoming RDNA 5 generation (rumored to be “UDNA”), at least if the latest leaks and roadmap rumors are to be believed. After the tactical withdrawal from the direct high-end duel [...]

The still young KTC brand is once again causing a stir in the highly competitive gaming segment and is launching two new models on the market, which stand out in their respective classes with an unusually high level of features at a comparatively moderate price. Both the KTC H27T6 and the KTC H25X7 are aimed at ambitious gamers and technology [...]
Before a larger NDA article is published this afternoon, here’s a pot of colorful game milk rice for the small appetite: I was able to start the premium edition of “The Outer Worlds 2” at the weekend, thanks to the pre-release access in the form of a private donation of almost 100 euros, secretly bypassing my finance minister [...]
It wasn’t long ago that the US company NVIDIA presented its Blackwell GPUs and launched them on the market. Preparations are now being made for the next NVIDIA architecture so that the launch can be as smooth as possible for Linux users. This is reported by Michael Larabel from Phoronix. The new architecture is called “Ruby” [...]
I have received an official statement from Cooler Master on the issue of the faulty 12V 2×6 cable, which clarifies some points and responds to the criticism of the original design. According to the email, Cooler Master explicitly acknowledges the problems with the previous angled connector design. Although this was developed to improve cable [...]
The trigger for today’s drama was actually harmless. A customer with a Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 ATX 3.1 1250 W power supply wanted to connect his ASUS RTX 5070 Ti OC. However, the enclosed 12V 2×6 plug hit the cooler because the socket on the graphics card is slightly offset. So the customer contacted support in the hope of finding an [...]
