NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti 24GB Review Roundup
NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is here, touting more performance than the RTX 3090 on paper – although it also comes with a larger price tag and higher power draw to match. How does this new card perform in the real world, and is it worth considering in your next system?
Impact of DDR5 Speed on Content Creation Performance
The latest Intel 12th Gen processors officially support a range of DDR5 RAM speeds between DDR5-3600MHz and DDR5-4800MHz depending on a number of factors including how many RAM slots are on the motherboard, how many sticks are used, and whether the sticks are single or dual rank. But if you stick with JEDEC specifications for frequency and timing, how much does this actually impact performance in common content creation applications like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Unreal?
AMD Threadripper
AMD’s Threadripper and Threadripper PRO processors offer very high core counts but with faster turbo boost speeds than the EPYC family – while also supporting many more PCI-Express lanes and memory channels than the mainstream Ryzen models. The latest Threadripper 7000 generation increases per-core performance and memory bandwidth even further, thanks to its use of AMD’s newer
AMD Ryzen
AMD’s Ryzen family of desktop processors has been a solid gaming and workstation CPU line for many years now. The latest Ryzen 9000 Series features AMD’s 4nm “Zen 5” architecture with improvements to both performance per clock and power efficiency. Even with lower power usage, these CPUs still offer boost speeds in excess of 5GHz
Redshift – NVIDIA RTX A6000, A5000, A4000 Performance
While the launch of NVIDIA and AMD’s consumer GPUs have been a major topic recently, NVIDIA is also starting to release the successor to their Quadro RTX line – starting with the RTX A6000. In this article, we will look at how it performs in Redshift from Maxon compared to recent NVIDIA Quadro GPUs.
V-Ray – NVIDIA RTX A6000, A5000, A4000 Performance
While the launch of NVIDIA and AMD’s consumer GPUs have been a major topic recently, NVIDIA is also starting to release the successor to their Quadro RTX line – starting with the RTX A6000. In this article, we will look at how it performs in V-Ray from Chaos Group compared to recent NVIDIA Quadro GPUs.
OctaneRender – NVIDIA RTX A6000, A5000, A4000 Performance
While the launch of NVIDIA and AMD’s consumer GPUs have been a major topic recently, NVIDIA is also starting to release the successor to their Quadro RTX line – starting with the RTX A6000. In this article, we will look at how it performs in Octane from Otoy compared to recent NVIDIA Quadro GPUs.
DDR5 Memory
DDR5 memory is the latest standard for computer system RAM (random access memory) and is due to replace the previous generation, DDR4, over the coming years. What makes DDR5 an improvement, and would you like to be notified when it is available?
12th Gen Intel Core CPU Review Roundup
Intel has launched their new 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors (code-named “Alder Lake”) featuring support for DDR5, PCIe 5.0, as well as a completely new hybrid architecture using a mix of Performance and Efficient-cores. This is a lot of new technologies in one product which makes it hard to estimate how each model will perform in the real world without application and workflow specific benchmarking and testing.
