TechPowerUpToday NVIDIA is launching their fourth GeForce 40 Series graphics card—the GeForce RTX 4070. Just three months ago we saw the release of the $800 RTX 4070 Ti, now the green team's new card comes without the "Ti", for $200 less. Under the hood, the RTX 4070 is very similar to the RTX 4070 Ti. Both cards are based on the NVIDIA AD104 graphics processor and feature 12 GB GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit wide memory bus. Of course you're getting all of NVIDIA's GeForce 40 goodies, like DLSS 3 Frame Generation and improved ray tracing cores. What is different is the number of cores in the GPU—the RTX 4070 has 5888 cores, which is a pretty hefty 30% difference to the 7680 cores on RTX 4070 Ti. Clock speeds are lower, too. Is $600 the right price?

This provides you with two distinct advantages over previous-generation graphics cards that have flooded the market at comparable prices. First, you get DLSS 3 Frame Generation, a groundbreaking feature that nearly doubles performance by generating alternate frames completely using AI, and without involving the conventional graphics rendering machinery. And second, since the RTX 4060 uses the latest 5 nm EUV foundry process, you can expect a generational leap in energy efficiency, with NVIDIA rating the RTX 4060 with a typical graphics power of just 115 W, around 50% less than that of the RTX 3060. Is that enough to make it worth buying over Intel, AMD, and even NVIDIA itself?

It is also a Special Edition variant, which means it may not be available in all of the regions where you can normally buy the i9-13900K. The new i9-13900KS in this review is targeted squarely at the discerning PC enthusiast that wants the highest bins of Raptor Lake silicon, in a fully unlocked processor with the highest power limits, so they could chase down overclocking or benchmark leaderboards, while also being the fastest processor gamers can buy to run at stock frequencies. Did Intel make a chip gamers would want or should they stick with AMD?

In this video, we unbox and set up the Capellix series, checking out what comes in the box, how to set it up, and what makes each Corsair H-series model unique. We explore the different sizes available, from 240 millimeters all the way up to 420 millimeters, which can keep even the hottest CPUs cool.
We'll review the installation process, including how the fans mount onto the radiator, how to install the mounting brackets for all relevant motherboards and CPU brands, and how to apply the thermal paste. We also explore the unique features of the Elite series, including the proprietary cable that goes directly into the included ICUE Commander core RGB lighting and fan controller, which allows you to control the color scheme between all the fans, the water block, and any compatible RGB memory and lighting.
Additionally, we delve into the benefits of the LCD version of the Elite series, which displays information on temperatures, fan speeds, performance, system load and resources, and even supports custom images.
Overall, while it would be nice to have the white model available in all sizes, if you're looking to build a new PC with water cooling or upgrade your existing system, the Corsair Elite series should be on your shortlist.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is an 8-core processor design that uses a single CCD and features a 3DV Cache capability for Zen 4, providing an additional 64 MB of L3 cache, which greatly improves the performance of certain workloads. While the processor falls behind in application performance compared to Intel's offerings, it outperforms them in gaming. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 5.6% faster than the i9-13900K and 5.8% faster than the Ryzen 9 7950X3D in our test suite at 1080p.

The GeForce RTX 4090 "Ada" remains the undisputed gaming champion this generation, and is the best graphics card that money can buy right now. When we tested its scaling with various PCIe speeds back in October 2022, we were still rocking our older graphics card test system, which was powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X "Zen 3" processor. While it was the fastest gaming processor at its time launch, it has since lost leadership to the 12th- and 13th Generation Intel Core processors, not to mention the company's own Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" processors.

Bringing the latest upgrades to the Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" family, this processor rocks 3D Vertical Cache technology along with a massive 16-core/32-thread count, and its makers claim that it levels up to the Core i9-13900K both in gaming and multi-threaded productivity, making it the most powerful desktop processor you can buy from the AMD camp. The best part? It's being launched at the same $700 MSRP as the standard 7950X, which is now $50-75 cheaper in the market; and remains drop-in compatible with Socket AM5 motherboards. Is this the CPU you've been looking for or should you wait for the 7800X3D?
Hogwarts Legacy is for all the Harry Potter fans, but also for lovers of the RPG genre. You get to enter Hogwarts, the magic school that Harry Potter himself is attending, to learn everything about magic, spell casting and wizardry. Unlike Harry, you're starting as an advanced fifth-year student and your task is to uncover a mysterious ancient magic that could threaten the world. The game takes you not only to Hogwarts and other familiar places like the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade, but also to surrounding areas with dozens of villages, dungeons, and other points of interest.Forspoken | 1440p TAA vs FSR 2.1 vs DLSS 2.5 | i7 10700F | RTX 4080TechPowerUp2023-01-30 | Forspoken tested at 1440p with the latest iterations of FSR, DLSS, and in-game TAA. i7 10700F + RTX 4080

Forspoken comes from the stable and skilled hands at Square Enix, and their latest game studio, Luminous Productions, which was built from the people who worked on Final Fantasy XV. Fast-paced action RPG players should have that familiar FF feel, with some parkour sprinkled on top. The studio's Luminous Engine is based on what they used in Final Fantasy XV, with new and improved features, optimized for the latest-generation game consoles; and special ray tracing abilities on Windows with DirectX 12. Forspoken is also the first title to support DirectStorage, which promises faster load times and more beautiful worlds.Cyberpunk 2077 | 4K DLSS 2.4.3 vs DLSS 2.5.1 - Significant Image Quality Improvements | RTX 4080TechPowerUp2023-01-25 | Cyberpunk 2077 NVIDIA DLSS 2.4.3 vs NVIDIA DLSS 2.5.1 Ultra Performance image quality comparison at 4K with Ray Tracing Psycho and Ultra settings on i7 10700F + RTX 4080

The 65 W models being introduced today are equally important for the company, as they appeal to a much wider range of PC part buyers, particularly small businesses and SFF builders. AMD is pricing the Ryzen 7 7700 at US $330, or about $70 cheaper than the launch price of the 7700X. This still comes across as a little bold, as Intel now has the Core i7-13700 8P+8E at $380, and the Core i5-13600K 6P+8E unlocked processor at the same $330 price, but without a boxed cooler. AMD priced the R5 7600 at US $230, a price at which it squares off against several upcoming 65 W Core i5 "Raptor Lake" SKUs, such as the i5-13400 and i5-13500. Can the new 65 W AMD "Zen 4" hold out?

This SKU was formerly regarded as the "RTX 4080 12 GB," and was supposed to launch mid-November 2022, alongside a 16 GB sibling bearing the same "RTX 4080" model number. It turned out that the two SKUs were vastly different—not counting the memory size—, and that the RTX 4080 12 GB was based on a physically smaller silicon, with 21% fewer shaders, RT cores, and Tensor cores; and its memory bus was 25% narrower, besides the reduction in memory size. This would've meant that a vast performance gap would emerge between the 12 GB and 16 GB models, and since the 12 GB would still bear the "4080" branding, NVIDIA could price it as high as $900 (MSRP). After some pushback on social media and the press, NVIDIA decided to cancel the RTX 4080 12 GB, and re-launch it today as the RTX 4070 Ti, at a slightly lower starting price of $800. Is this renamed card worth a look?

The new GeForce RTX 4080 SKU in this review succeeds the RTX 3080, which NVIDIA continued to maintain as its flagship product in the RTX 30-series till the end, treating everything higher as "halo" products. The RTX 4080 is designed with many of the same goals as the RTX 4090—to plow through games at maxed out settings at 4K, including ray tracing, but at a slightly more acceptable price point of $1,200, or 25% less. Is it worth the cost savings?
