Questions concerning upgrades are by far some of the most common emails and messages we receive here at RGT, and a good portion of those questions revolve around bottlenecks. Will a specific component hold back a shiny new upgrade that the user is planning to plonk into their PC. In the case of a.

While I wouldn’t say that stagnant is the right word for the graphics card markets prior to the reveal of the RTX 20 series and 7nm Vega graphics cards, we did see the status quo of Polaris vs Pascal for quite some time. Technically, only Nvidia have revealed something new, as AMD have made.

The launch of the 9th generation Coffee Lake refresh CPUs nears ever closer to release, we have seen a fair few benchmarks and performance numbers surface online. A lot of these have understandably been surrounding the flagship i9 9900K, but today we have a benchmark leak for the 8 core Intel i7 9700K processor..

There’s been a lot of speculation as to the performance levels of Nvidia’s Turing architecture, which is the follow on to both Pascal and Volta. The elevator pitch for GeForce Turing would be to imagine Volta, and tweak it for gaming, keeping the improvements in architecture such as Cache in place. Naturally, this is.

Intel is refreshing its current 8th generation processor line up in a pretty significant way with the 9th generation. It’s switching a focus from Hyper Threading (reserving that for the I9-9900K) and upping the physical core count from 6 cores to 8. Overall then, this is a clear move to help push competition with.

During Gamescom, Nvidia announced 3 distinct GeForce SKUs all based on the new Turing architecture, the top of the line card being the RTX 2080 Ti, followed by the RTX 2080 and finally the RTX 2070 GPU. Given it’s been over two years since the company released Pascal, hype has been pretty unreal; particularly.

Given Nvidia’s decisions before GamesCom to show off Ray Tracing with the Volta architecture, it was clear that the company were betting big on the new technology. During the show, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was keen to stress that Turing was the biggest leap in GPUs since their Tesla series, debuting back in late.

Intel’s 9th generation processors will soon see a release on store shelves, and have been fortunately now confirmed to be backwards compatible with the Z370 chipset, along with the other 300 series motherboards. Along with the Z390 chipset, Intel will release a plethora of new chipsets, including the I9-9900K and the I7-9700K CPU. A.

What do you get if you take something that’s already great, and then make it even better? This is precisely the situation with both the B450 motherboard chipset and the AMD Ryzen 2 series of processors. Last April, AMD shocked the tech world with the release of the first generation Ryzen processors. The performance.

The early part of next year for gamer’s is going to be incredibly exciting, not least of which because we see the release of Metro Exodus, the post-apocalyptic FPS being developed over at 4A Games. 4A Games and Nvidia have always had a good relationship, with earlier the Metro games supporting Nvidia’s PhysX technology.

Nvidia’s Turing lineup isn’t due for release until mid September, so until the cards are closer to launch performance details will continue to trickle out. Nvidia tout the GeForce RTX 20 series as ‘graphics reinvented’ – keen to make much of the Ray Tracing ability of the new cards, along with the Deep Learning.

Earlier this year, the Spectre and Meltdown security concerns rocked the IT world. These vulnerabilities leveraged the very functionality of modern CPUs which allowed them to perform tasks so quickly – speculative execution. Fortunately for AMD, Meltdown didn’t impact their Zen line of processors (either the original or the slightly tweaked Zen+ cores), but.

The RTX 2080 Ti is a monser of a chip, sporting over 18 billion transistors, a die size of 754mm2 and with a full 4352 CUDA Cores. It is based on the TU102 chip, and now thanks to a leak we learn the exact specs of the full chip and how it compares against.

As we’ve said several times since Nvidia’s Turing conference a few days ago, one of the most confusing things about the event was the absence of performance results for the RTX 20 series against the older brothers. For example, how did the RTX 2080 fair up against the GTX 2080? Well Nvidia have finally.
