Asus TUF B760M-BTF WiFi D4: All connectors out of sight

Audio encoding

Naposledy sme sa zaoberali základnou doskou, ktorá, ktorá je aj vďaka nižšej cene vhodná najmä na použitie s lacnejšími procesormi. Teraz tu máme o zhruba 50 eur drahšiu Gigabyte B660 Aorus Master DDR4. Príplatok tu má jasné opodstatnenie a odzkadľuje sa na lepších vlastnostiach. Napájacia kaskáda je výrazne efektívnejšia, chladiče sú účinnejšie a výbava je celkovo bohatšia, vrátane svetielok.

Audio encoding

Test environment: Audio encoding is done using command line encoders, we measure the time it takes for the conversion to finish. The same 42-minute long 16-bit WAV file (stereo) with 44.1 kHz is always used (Love Over Gold by Dire Straits album rip in a single audio file).

Encoder settings are selected to achieve maximum or near maximum compression. The bitrate is relatively high, with the exception of lossless FLAC of about 200 kb/s.

Note: These tests measure single-thread performance.

FLAC: reference encoder 1.3.2, 64-bit build. Launch options: flac.exe -s -8 -m -e -p -f

MP3: encoder lame3.100.1, 64-bit build (Intel 19 Compiler) from RareWares. Launch options: lame.exe -S -V 0 -q 0

AAC: uses Apple QuickTime libraries, invoked through the application from the command line, QAAC 2.72, 64-bit build, Intel 19 Compiler (does not require installation of the whole Apple package). Launch options: qaac64.exe -V 100 -s -q 2

Opus: reference encoder 1.3.1, Launch options: opusenc.exe –comp 10 –quiet –vbr –bitrate 192

Asus TUF GeForce RTX 5070 12GB OC Ed.: Perfectionism

While the more powerful GeForce RTX 50 models face no direct competition, AMD has positioned two strong contenders against the RTX 5070—the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT. Both offer slightly better value and more memory. Your choice depends on whether you need a graphics card purely for gaming or also for professional applications, and how reliant you are on Nvidia’s broader, more polished ecosystem with proprietary technologies.

Not just the basics: Asus ROG Strix B850-F Gaming WiFi

A relatively pricier B850 motherboard. But one that outperforms both equally priced and X870(E) motherboards in several ways. It does so with features that are not directly related to the chipset used, but those are often what matters. The ROG Strix B850-F Gaming WiFi motherboard may thus end up being exactly what you’re looking for in a powerful and timeless setup. This can include, for example, two M.2 slots with PCIe 5.0 support. Read more “Not just the basics: Asus ROG Strix B850-F Gaming WiFi” »

Tweaking Asus ROG Astral RTX 5080: Cut the Noise and Power Draw

Last week, we took a look at the Asus ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC Edition. It has a powerful cooler, but by default, the fan control pushes speeds high, and card is anything but quiet. So, I also measured how the card’s behavior changes when lowering fan speeds, how different power limit settings affect performance, and what the OC scanner does to the clock speed/voltage curve and how that impacts performance.

  1. One small note on supported cases. Asus BTF motherboards are also supported by Corsair’s now available 6500 and 2500 series cases. The 2500D Airflow, 2500X, and 2500X RGB models also fit nicely with the TUF B760M-BTF WiFi D4 in terms of form factor, as the combination of a mATX motherboard with a midi-tower case is mentioned.
