The discovery that the Geforce GTX 970 contains an odd and previously unknown memory configuration forced Nvidia to change the specifications, but it’s not as simple as just adjusting a few numbers. Dissatisfied customers demand compensation and some even go so far as to return the graphics card, even though the results from the performance…
Although Nvidia likes to claim the opposite, it is not primarily the performance figures that make one or another enthusiast fix their eyes on the new Geforce GTX 960. Instead, computer builders look curiously at the low power consumption, where the high efficiency of Maxwell architecture provides good conditions for gaming even in small and…
The next generation of graphics cards from both AMD and Nvidia are being teased and teased. For the red team, it is mainly about the Radeon R9 300 series, where the focus is on the top model R9 380X. Many are hoping for a real jump in performance, not least in view of the rapidly…
The graphics card maker AMD has not yet responded to Nvidia’s autumn launch of the Geforce GTX 980 and 970, but has so far only contracted with depressed prices or as it is officially called “limited promotions”. This is expected to change in the spring, when AMD launches the partly new Radeon 300 series. Specifications:…
Through the new Geforce GTX 960, Nvidia wants to take the middle class by storm and partners are not late to jump on the bandwagon with a myriad of different models. The focus is mainly on low noise levels, but some choose to invest in more odd concepts in this context. In the latter category,…
Large amounts of video memory benefit gaming in high resolutions, but it also applies that the graphics processor keeps up with the turns. Despite this, there is demand for graphics cards in the lower price ranges with hefty memory volumes, something Asus now delivers with a new version of the Geforce GTX 750 Ti Strix….
On SweClockers and many other online forums, the discussion about the Geforce GTX 970 and its odd memory management continues. Thousands of angry enthusiasts want to hold Nvidia accountable for marketing the graphics card with incorrect specifications. However, very few choose to go from word to deed. When SweClockers checks the situation at some of…
In the spring, it’s time for a new graphics card series from AMD, which offers a blissful mix of old and new. Among enthusiasts, all focus is on the mythical graphics processor Fiji, which is expected to be equipped not only with a high number of stream processors but also fresh stacked memory. The memory…
The computer manufacturers’ demand for a new graphics card series for laptops led Nvidia to develop the Geforce 800M, a family that is largely built around old graphics circuits with increased clock frequencies. However, there were two exceptions in the form of the Geforce GTX 860M and 850M, which are based around the GM107 and…
It’s not entirely uncontroversial to release new graphics cards with older circuits, something that both AMD and Nvidia are guilty of. Perhaps the clearest example is the current Radeon 200 series, where really only Hawaii and later also Tonga can be seen as new architectures. The rest are practically older graphics processors in a new…
