It is blowing up to a storm among the graphics cards in the middle segment, which will soon be joined by AMD’s Radeon RX 5600 XT. At the unveiling at CES 2020, it was clear that the red team is shooting sharply at Nvidia’s mid-range, through similar promises of better performance than the Geforce GTX…
The summer of 2019 was the start of AMD’s new architecture Radeon DNA (RDNA), the first new creation since the introduction of Graphics Core Next (GCN) at the end of 2011. Now the company begins the new year with a new graphics card, which takes the lucrative middle class . Like the Radeon RX 5700…
It is in 2020 that Intel returns to the graphics card market, which means that two players will be three. During CES 2020, Intel showed a bunch of renderings of the very first graphics card and on site, the media also got to see the graphics card in physical form. The model called DG1 is…
When EVGA presented the price-pressed graphics card Geforce RTX 2060 KO during CES 2020, all attention ended up on the lower price tag. With cost savings, there were probably few who suspected that the new card would achieve significantly higher performance than a typical RTX 2060 card. A new report from Gamers Nexus indicates that…
Shortly before the launch of the Radeon RX 5600 XT, AMD surprised both partners and technology journalists with a BIOS update. The new software made it possible for partner manufacturers to increase the clock frequencies considerably, something that applied not least to the graphics memory, which in the standard version is 12,000 MHz. SweClocker’s test…
Until 2017, the processor giant Intel had a significant advantage over AMD, but today the game plan has changed. This is partly due to the fact that the Ryzen series can seriously compete with the rival’s counterparts, but Intel’s problematic transition to manufacturing at 10 nanometers is also of great importance. The new node was…
With the Radeon RX 5000 series, AMD introduced for the first time in over seven years a new architecture on the graphics side – Radeon DNA (RDNA). Today, the series covers the upper and lower middle class, from the Radeon RX 5700 XT down to the RX 5500 XT with the newly launched RX 5600…
The graphics giant Nvidia has a wide arsenal of graphics cards in the product portfolio, where the consumer-oriented Geforce GTX and RTX series are based on the architecture “Turing”. In the consumer segment, Turing is the direct successor to the long-lived “Pascal” architecture, while the detour “Volta” in between has been offered to professional users…
It’s not just process technologies in nanometers and the number of computing units that graphics card manufacturers AMD and Nvidia are competing for. To make the companies’ graphics cards even more attractive, game packages that come with the purchase, so-called bundles, are often offered. Until now, AMD has offered games such as Borderlands 3, Ghost…
Sky-high performance and energy efficiency were on the menu when the High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) technology was first launched. However, low volumes and high costs have led to limited impact on the market as a whole. Instead, technology has found a niche in high-performance circuits for, among other things, data centers. Towards the end of 2019,…
