The much-anticipated release of Nvidia’s GeForce GTX Titan X graphics adapter has already come true. The new-comer employs the latest flagship GM200 GPU (Nvidia Maxwell architecture) that comprises 8 billion transistors, 24 SMM blocks (each includes 128 CUDA cores and 8 TMUs). As a result, the GPU consists of 3072 CUDA cores and 192 TMUs – a record-breaking layout. The amount of ROPs makes up 96.



Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X runs at 1000 MHz nominal frequency but might be overclocked to 1075 MHz frequency. Memory subsystem is compiled of 12 GB of GDDR5 modules which operate at 7010 MHz frequency. The bandwidth index of 384-bit bus approximates 336.5 Gb/sec. Consequently, an overall computation power is estimated at 7.0 TFLOPS.


Cooling is organized with the assistance of a two-slot cooler with a single fan. Connectivity facilities include three video ports: DisplayPort, DVI-I and HDMI. On active mode, the maximum allowed GPU temperature should not exceed 92 C. The utmost …

LG Electronics broadens its displays model range with the 27UK650-W sample, built on the base of the 27-inch IPS panel with the 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K UHD) resolution. The specialty is not claimed to be a gaming solution, however, it can easily perform this function, while supporting AMD FreeSync and several brand technologies, applied solely for gaming purposes. Particularly, one should distinguish the HDR10 standard support.

 

LG 27UK650-W key specs are quite typical for 4K displays with IPS matrix: the 350 cd/m², the 1000:1 contrast, the 5 ms (GtG) response time, the 99% coverage of the sRGB colour gamut and the 60 Hz refresh rate. Viewing angles are 178° horizontally and vertically. Image source can be linked via DisplayPort and HDMI (x2) ports, and there is the 3.5 mm audio jack on the back side.

 

Besides, we should mention the HDCP 2.2 support, and the presence of On-Screen Control and Screen Split 2.0 functions. The stand …

The overclocker memory is now in the category of products for perfectionists, still the common users are pleased with usual modules DDR3-1600 or DDR3-1333 SDRAM. The issue appears related to the release of processors Ivy Bridge series, which in some aspects are similar to its predecessors, still have some distinctive features.



Ivy Bridge processors are restricted on the maximum frequency supported by the DDR3 SDRAM. This indicates the theoretical chance of these processors work with high-speed memory DDR3-3200 SDRAM. Developers of overclocker memory package perceived the change in rules with certain enthusiasm: there are DDR3-2400 modules available in stores. The gap in frequencies of «elite» and «running» versions of the memory has grown twice in size. It won’t have a noteworthy blow on the work of commonly used tasks in systems.


The memory controller in the Ivy Bridge can work both in symmetric mode, with delay, frequency and volume modules in memory channels, and …
