Frequency response of sound

After more powerful cards (with Navi 21 GPUs), the Radeon RX 6700 XT is the first graphics card with a smaller Navi 22 core. This means that even Nvidia’s middle class with the RTX 3060 Ti now has competition. The RX 6700 XT fights back hard and can give GeForce a hard time even without active SAM. We haven’t seen such a tight comparison yet, and choosing the right card depends on specific games or non-gaming apps and the ways of use.

Frequency response of sound

Measurements are performed in the TrueRTA application, which records sound in a range of 240 frequencies in the recorded range of 20–20,000 Hz. For the possibility of comparison across articles, we export the dominant frequency from the low (20–200 Hz), medium (201–2,000 Hz) and high (2,001–20,000 Hz) range to standard bar graphs. However, for an even more detailed analysis of the sound expression, it is important to perceive the overall shape of the graph and the intensity of all frequencies/tones.

Extra tests, Graphics | | Ľubomír Samák

Alan Wake II is the first game to support Nvidia DLSS 3.5 from the start. In addition to the technological aspect, there is also the high popularity among gamers. This gives us the basic reasons to take a close look at the performance under different settings. In diving in with the gaming performance, we will be interested not only in the visual side, but also the power consumption. Not just of the graphics card, but the CPU as well.

Minitest: Cheap PSUs vs. graphics cards coils whine

Extra tests, Graphics, PSUs | | Ľubomír Samák

You’ve already read the extensive analysis of graphics card coil whine changes depending on the PSU used. One last thing is missing for it to be complete. And that is to add the behavior of cheap PSUs with lower quality components. Otherwise, one could still speculate that across classes the situation could be significantly different. Could it? This is what we will focus on in the measurements with “80 Plus” PSUs, one of which is also already quite old. Read more “Minitest: Cheap PSUs vs. graphics cards coils whine” »

The Ventus 3X (RTX 4070 TiS) case: Final vs. original VBIOS

Extra tests, Graphics | | Ľubomír Samák

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Ventus 3X graphics card came out with a BIOS that MSI (and even Nvidia) wasn’t happy with. After the second revision, there is the third, the last revision of the BIOS. This one increases the power limit to allow higher GPU clock speeds to be achieved. However, this comes at the cost of a bit lower power efficiency. To update or not to update? That’s for everyone to decide for themselves, if they get the chance. Read more “The Ventus 3X (RTX 4070 TiS) case: Final vs. original VBIOS” »
