The New Pascal-based Nvidia Titan X and Quadro GPUs

Nvidia, a leading graphics card manufacturer, has recently announced new GPUs based on its next-generation Pascal architecture. The Nvidia Titan X is a step above the 1080 GTX, while the new Nvidia Quadro is suited to the professional sector.

The Nvidia Titan X – New flagship

The new Nvidia Titan X promises benefits that are 50% greater than the 1080 GTX.

According to Nvidia, the Titan X is able to offer performance up to 50% higher than the company’s previous flagship, the 1080 GTX, which was already the most powerful GPU at the time. While the latter only boasted with 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM memory with a 256-bit bus, the Nvidia Titan X has 12 GB and a 384-bit bus, with a consumption of 250 W – just 70W superior to GTX 1080 and just as much as the old GTX Titan X.

AMD Radeon RX 470 vs RX 460: What‘s the difference and Which is worthy to buy?

Today is the day. AMD has officially presented the RX 470 and RX 460; two graphics solutions that are meant to cover one of the mid-range and mid-lower-range segments and are marketed to those players who have a budget of approximately 100-200 dollars.

In the end, almost all of the leaks and rumors that we have been seeing have been confirmed, which has certainly surprised us, but we want to make use of all of the official information that AMD has given us to create a special article with which we hope to ease all of your doubts.

Like always, you can leave any question that you may have in the comments, and I will answer them without any problem.

Radeon RX 470, mid-range with high-range aspirations

RX 470 and RX 460

The RX 470 has proved itself to be a graphics solution that’s very similar in specs to the RX 480. As we can see in the photo, it has 2,048 shaders, keeps the 256-bit bus and has 128 texture units and 32 raster units. This means that its performance should be slightly inferior to that of the RX 480 4GB GDDR5, but we can’t tell the exact difference.

Leaked official specifications of the RX 470 and RX 460

AMD made a presentation the other day to show the media specialized new Radeon RX 470, and RX 460 are coming. As always, “someone” has not respected the confidentiality agreement and leaked slides that show the technical characteristics of these two graphs, as well as its theoretical performance in games.

The same old story, and now we have complained many times. All media have this information in advance (logical, we have to report it when they arise, in addition to doing appropriate reviews), but we cannot publish because we have signed a confidentiality agreement, but there is always someone who not only skips but also it puts watermark to your images so that when we do echo others quit their website in large letters.

How to Reset Android Phone to Factory Settings (Fully Erase Everything)

Before selling any computer, smartphone or tablet, it is essential to protect your privacy by formatting the device. Formatting – as you surely know already – is a process by which you delete all files on a drive keeping it serviceable.

Be careful though: simple formatting is not enough. To make sure that your old data has been truly deleted and cannot be subsequently recovered with some specialist software (like the ones I mentioned in the tutorial on how to recover photos on Android), you need to overwrite all the empty space on the drive using a process called “wiping”.

I know that it may seem like a tricky thing to do – a prerogative of experienced users – but it really is not so. In order to prove it, I will now explain how to format Android and how to “wipe” a smartphone or a tablet using some free apps. I bet you will be surprised by how simple it is!

Preliminary operations

Backup

Before formatting your device, save a backup copy of all its files and apps. There are a lot of apps suitable for the purpose, and I will point some out to you right away:

  • Titanium Backup (Need Root)- the best app for backups on Android devices. It saves apps and data on external or internal storage. I have explained how to use it in quite some detail in my guide about how to backup Android.
  • EasyBackup – another backup app, less powerful than Titanium but works without root access. You can find info and instructions on how to use it in the post about Android backup I have just linked.
  • SMS Backup & Restore – Excellent free app that lets you back up all text messages saved on your phone.

Speaking about text messages, I must point out my post on how to re-install WhatsApp where I have shown you the proper steps to save WhatsApp chats and restore them if necessary
