SteelSeries Sensei Ten Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2019-10-16 read/post comments(0)

After quite a bit of gaming in Diablo III, Rage 2 and Quake: Champions, the mouse continued to feel very comfortable thanks to the shape we also loved from the original Sensei; we did use it on our gaming system that sports a 1440P display, but also on the test system that is linked to a 4K TV and after adjusting the sensitivity, the tracking was smooth as butter. The left/right click mechanical buttons have a nice feel to it when actuated and are rated for 60 million keypresses which is quite a lot compared to other mainstream mice. With this mouse we are not getting a braided USB cable, but the rubber material is quite solid and should last… read more

XFX Radeon RX 5700 DD Ultra 8GB GDDR6 Video Card Review

Videocards/VGA Reviews by stefan @ 2019-10-10 read/post comments(0)

With the DD Ultra we are seeing a notable performance increase over the previously tested PowerColor Red Dragon RX 5700 and at the same time the power limits have been upped from 173W to about 206W (maximum recorded ASIC Power consumption). This modification did also imply higher Boost clocks, up to 1934MHz (much higher than the advertised speed) so with the XFX RX 5700 DD Ultra we did experience quite a performance jump. XFX also made sure to include a beefy cooling system to go with it so the card will function under optimal conditions even with a raised TGP. read more

Patriot Memory P200 512GB 2.5'' SSD Review

Storage/SSD by stefan @ 2019-10-05 read/post comments(0)

The P200 drive from Patriot was built for mainstream computers in mind, without breaking any performance records, considering that it is built on the SATA III interface as well. Since we are dealing with a TLC NAND drive, we will observe drops in write performance after the SLC buffer has been filled up, but this will only happen if we do write very large files at once onto it. The SSD drives, especially the 2.5’’ form factors are really cheap nowadays and if 512GB is not enough for the current tasks, we can go ahead and choose either the 1TB or 2TB versions of the product. read more

PowerColor Red Dragon Radeon RX 5700 Video Card Review

Videocards/VGA Reviews by stefan @ 2019-09-27 read/post comments(0)

The RX 5700 Red Dragon card implementation from PowerColor does feature a less complex cooling system versus the Red Devil, but manages to keep a more compact form factor. If pushed in intensive benchmarks, we have noticed that the fans start to spin up after the GPU reaches 45 degrees Celsius at very low speeds, maxing out at about 2000RPM at very acceptable noise levels (about 38 dBA). For keeping manufacturing costs low, there is no LED lighting available, but you can always compensate this aspect by using your own RGB setup inside the computer case. read more

Silicon Power 2x16GB DDR4-2666 SODIMM Memory Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2019-09-23 read/post comments(0)

On our DELL Inspiron 7577 test laptop, the overall performance of the Silicon Power kit trails the one of the previously tested Crucial dual-channel kit in most applications, which was to be expecting, considering that both products run at the same frequency and timings. The one notable benefit Silicon Power brings is the double quantity of RAM, which is helpful when unpacking large archives, editing video projects, working with many other applications at once, without the need of offloading to the main drive. read more

XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 RAW II Ultra Video Card Review

Videocards/VGA Reviews by stefan @ 2019-09-17 read/post comments(0)

With the 210W Performance BIOS, the XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 RAW II Ultra card can deliver quite a bit of performance, while keeping the temperatures at bay and the noise at decent levels. As we have seen with the latest Ryzen processors, the GPU overclocks itself depending on the read values from the sensors, so manual overclocking is pretty much useless in most cases. read more
