With a fan design similar to the NVIDIA reference model – but with more discreet lines and decorated with the ASUS logo with RGB lighting, ASUS has announced its new GeForce GTX Turbo 1080 graphics card. It will come with speeds of 1,607 MHz and 1,733 MHz of boost for the GPU and 10,000 MHz …
Each time a new CPU, RAM or graphics card comes onto the market, overclockers get down to work and to find ways to reach their limits to beat new records. The German overclocker Dancop has succeeded in setting an ASUS ROG Strix GTX 1080 graphics card to 2.645 MHz in boost mode, making it the fastest GTX 1080 in the world.
For this, he has had to use liquid nitrogen and a motherboard ASUS ROG Rampage V Edition 10 with an 10 core i7-6950X , with which they have beat the GPUPI 1B 1x test record of 13 seconds with an amazing 492 milliseconds when using the ASUS ROG Strix GTX 1080.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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:
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
Are you afraid that your dear – and pretty expensive – Android smartphone could suddenly get broken? That you could lose all apps and data you saved on the device? Well, it’s good of you to be worried of it. But don’t be paranoid!
By now, there are really lots of apps with which you can save data from Android devices and, when needed, restore it pretty easily. Install one of those on your smartphone, and you’ll finally free yourself from worries of losing texts, contacts, photos, videos, calendar appointments or any other data saved on the device’s memory.
Be careful though: the most effective and complete apps for Android’s backup need the root. This means that – if you haven’t done it yet – you must read my guide about how to root Android and unlock you phone, by following its instructions. Then, roll up your sleeves and find out precisely how to make an Android backup, with the instructions I’m giving to you. I assure you everything will be easier than you think.
Titanium Backup is the top about Android backup. It lets you copy all the apps installed on your phone, their settings and data, offering, at the same time, a quick restore option, which allows you to reintegrate them on the device just with a few “taps”.
