In September 2020, Nvidia launched its latest generation graphics card with the architecture Ampere manufactured on Samsung’s 8-nanometer technology. It’s been eight months since then and now Nvidia is in full swing to provide the Geforce RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 each with its Ti siblings with pointed specifications. It now appears that the flagship…
The graphics card year 2013 has largely been characterized by uneven rendering times with AMD-based graphics cards in Crossfire. The controversy was supplemented towards the end of the year by varying performance between different copies of the company’s latest flagship Radeon R9 290X and R9 290 in Quiet Mode. This and much more is addressed…
During this year’s edition of GPU Tech Day in beautiful Hawaii, AMD presented not only new graphics cards, but also the Mantle interface. The hope is, among other things, that more hardware-oriented programming will provide performance advantages over well-used DirectX. The interface is being developed in close collaboration with Swedish DICE, which unsurprisingly means that…
Compact and powerful constructions in Mini ITX are becoming increasingly popular among home builders, which has led manufacturers to develop tailor-made components for the form factor. It is now clear that Taiwanese MSI plans to expand its newly launched range with another graphics card. This time with a graphics processor from AMD. MSI Radeon R9…
Since time immemorial, gamers have struggled with refresh rates. Low refresh rate gives a jerky image while high ditto can give rise to so-called tearing, where partially drawn frames cause graphics errors. Admittedly, this can be cured V-sync, but this on the other hand introduces delays. Nvidia promises to fix the problem with G-Sync technology,…
AMD Radeon R9 290X from partner manufacturers has started to find its way onto store shelves and above all it is about the same circuit board as before with a better cooler than AMD’s reference design. However, MSI does not hold back with the new graphics circuit and combines it with the lavish Lightning concept….
Laptops with compact external dimensions and compact desktop systems are gaining more and more market. Even if the development progresses, smaller volume still means compromises, where above all graphics performance often has to be ironed out. The solution can be an external graphics card that is connected when needed, something that has been extensively explored…
A large part of 2013 was characterized by uneven rendering times, something AMD took on and worked on for most of the year. The solution is called “Frame Pacing”, but in its current form there are limitations in both hardware and software for it to work in higher resolutions on all graphics cards. Documents are…
In mid-February, the first graphics processor with the new Maxwell architecture will be introduced. However, this does not mean that Nvidia puts an end to today’s Kepler, on the contrary, the giant circuit GK110 will be used in another performance model. Sources at Taiwanese partner manufacturers now tell SweClockers that Nvidia has a new flagship…
Ahead of Nvidia’s onslaught with architecture Maxwell and mid-range Geforce GTX 750 Ti and GTX 750 cards, AMD is upgrading the Radeon 200 series. Shortly after the launch of the Radeon R7 250X, a slightly more lavish model arrives, the purpose of which is to fill the void left by the Radeon HD 7850. Specifications:…
