Nvidia RTX 4060 Review – Testing ZOTAC GAMING’s RTX 4060 SOLO 163mm Long GPU for the Small Form Factor Market

Let’s be very clear before we begin: we are looking at the RTX 4060 from a small form factor perspective. I intentionally requested the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 4060 SOLO, and not a two or three fan OC card. This is a very small, single fan GPU. This means we’re looking at this from a different angle than a traditional review. We will, of course, have performance numbers for the card. However, our conclusion will be focused more on efficiency and performance per liter then raw performance and value. As I said in the RTX 4060Ti review: Small Form Factor …

RTX 4060Ti Review: A GPU in Search of a Use Case – Part 2 Ray Tracing

This is part 2 of our RTX 4060Ti review where we look at the RTX 4060Ti’s Ray Tracing performance. To see part 1, CLICK HERE. Ray Tracing Ray tracing has become an important performance metric over the last five years as it slowly supplants older reflection and ambient occlusion technology. Unfortunately, it still carries a hefty performance penalty. Using upscaling technology such as DLSS, FSR, and XESS does help mitigate some of the performance loss, but they aren’t magical fixes to the issue. Ray tracing is also done in two methods currently. There is the hybrid approach where ray tracing …

XFX Launches a Pair of RX7600 GPUs With Missing Letters

TechPowerup has shared news of XFX’s new RX7600 Speedster QICK 308 and SWFT 210 graphics cards. A hell of a mouthful, but two more AMD RX7600 models to tempt your wallet. Whilst both cards are quite large, they do offer options for those of us with more spacious SFF rigs. The SWFT 210 is priced at the AMD MSRP of US$269, and the more ‘premium’ QICK 308 will hit market at a MSRP of US$20-40 higher. The more ‘affordable’ SWFT 210’s cooler is a full aluminium fin stack, with a pair of 100mm fans (Hence the 210 name, apparently).  No …
