Do gaming furniture and accessories arrive at Ikea? When it comes to the announcement after accessing the news: Definitely, because last week not even Microsoft's hard hand reached this message with the system requirements of Windows 11. 1st place in the reports: New GPU power consumption measurements.
GPU power consumption from a new perspective
ComputerBase has always included the power consumption in the assessment of graphics cards, but in addition to the correct measurement method such as the separate consideration of the graphics card, the test scenarios must also be reconsidered from time to time – not only the hardware, but also the habits of the players and the Usage scenarios change. The editorial team used the “lull” between Nvidia Ampere and AMD RDNA 2 and their successors (presumably super new editions for the time being) and revised the current test course for determining the GPU power consumption.
The new measured values, including those during “idle” including window movement on the Windows desktop and with a 144 FPS limiter in games, have provided interesting new insights into the power consumption of current GPU architectures.
The retro reviews at the weekend were also very well received last week – on the one hand on video games that defined their genre, on the other hand on a passively cooled GeForce 7950 GT, which XFX relaxed 15 years ago 125 ° C GPU temperature.

When the news came up In the past seven days, no content has passed the final announcement of the first gaming furniture and accessories at Ikea. A year ago, Ikea and Asus had already announced the jointly developed series, now the first products available from October have been named: The palette ranges from the 5-euro picture to the 500-euro table.
Not even the confirmation that Microsoft will act on the threat and officially exclude systems not supported by Windows 11 from the update process did not get past it. The editorial team's test showed that Microsoft not only prevents the installation of Windows 11 on computers without an active TPM 2.0, but actually no longer delivers any function updates to such computers – there are only updates to the currently installed build. Microsoft has reserved the right not to provide any support for the operation of Windows 11 on officially unsupported systems and to discontinue Windows updates completely.
