Test setup

The announced update to increase performance in MFS is out, and we have a “before” and “after” comparison for you. Developers has worked to ensure that the processor does not significantly bottleneck the GPU. So far, the performance of the graphics card did not matter much, because only a fraction of its potential was used. But newly, you will achieve better performance on low-end hardware than you did before on a top-end rig.

Test setup

Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S
Motherboard: MSI MEG X570 Ace
RAM: Patriot Blackout (4× 8 GB, 3600 MHz/CL18)
Graphics card: MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio
SSD: 2× Patriot Viper VPN100 (512 GB + 2 TB)
Power supply: BeQuiet! Dark Power Pro 12 1200 W

Note.: The used graphics drivers are Nvidia Game Ready 466.77 (CPU tests) and 471.41 (Gigabyte Aorus RTX 3070 master 8G tests) and the Windows 10 Enterprise OS build is 19043.

Join us in welcoming Adam Vágner on board HWC today. Of the authors I know, he’s the most experienced with graphics cards. That’s what he’ll be covering. Thus, graphics card testing will be taken over by a tester who’s been doing it for a long time (and intensively). This is the approach we pride ourselves on and will continue to do so. There are plenty of “experts in everything”, but true specialists are slowly disappearing from the map. Read more “Welcome, Adam! 18 years of experience in graphics card testing” »

“All” graphics cards in in-depth coil whine analysis

Extra tests, Graphics | | Ľubomír Samák

The number of graphics cards tested over the recent period has reached a number after which we can pause a bit and specifically focus on the noise level of their coils. The latter has always been recorded in standard measurements, but in large tests with lots of other information, this unique data was getting lost. That is why it will now, within the scope of this article, be limited to these only. So which of the modern graphics cards has the quieter coils?

Gigabyte RX 7900 GRE Gaming OC 16G in test of 30 graphics cards

Extra tests, Graphics | | Ľubomír Samák

The most “lightweight” AMD Navi 31 (XL) GPU, the slowest memory subsystem, but also the lowest price. That’s the RX 7900 GRE compared to the RX 7900 XT. This Radeon is also noticeably cheaper compared to the RTX 4070 Super, although the GeForce’s power efficiency is more favorable. The gaming performance of the RX 7900 GRE (RTX 4070S), meanwhile, is comparable. That is, as long as you won’t miss ray-tracing graphics.
