The transition to 20 nanometers is delayed, instead AMD and Nvidia are forced to develop new graphics circuits with already existing 28 nanometers. Nvidia has already launched the first graphics processor GM107 according to the architecture Maxwell, which despite the older manufacturing technology has managed to push down power consumption significantly. AMD will also take…
For a few years now, closed water cooling systems have been popular with home builders and enthusiasts looking for low temperature and noise levels. While ready-made solutions for processor coolers account for the majority of the market, more and more people have started to find out about graphics cards, and here Gigabyte is taking a…
Computex is a trade fair where odd concepts and projects are displayed, much thanks to the proximity to technology centers in Taiwan and China.

The AMD Radeon R9 295X2 with dual Hawaii XT is the world’s fastest graphics card, which unlike the Asus ROG Ares II is cooled by a combined air and water cooler. Now the partner manufacturer Powercolor is taking the concept and replacing the hybrid solution with a more traditional air cooler. It is a solid…
During Computex 2013, Silverstone demonstrated an external graphics solution via Intel’s Thunderbolt interface. The prototype was also on site during the CES trade fair in January 2014, but shines with its absence for this year’s Computex. The reason is that the development has been put on hold. Although the concept itself works well, there are…
Those who are looking for a new graphics card can probably look forward to one or two good offers during the summer months. The stocks are well stocked and at the same time there is a shortage of new heavy-duty game titles, which usually support the sale of the most lavish graphics cards. In other…
