NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080Ti releases on June 3rd - tech
(hx) 08:44 AM CEST - Jun,01 2021 - Post a comment / read (1)
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is based on GA102 GPU with 10240 CUDA cores, this is a cosmetic reduction from 10496 cores on RTX 3090. The RTX 3090 will still remain the fastest card in the lineup, but thanks to a relatively small difference in clock speeds and identical TDP of 350W, the RTX 3080 Ti is to offer very similar performance. The RTX 3080 Ti is here to compete with RTX 3090 though, but rather offer a new option for those who were not able to buy RTX 3080. A higher memory capacity of 12GB GDDR6X and a wider bus, will provide a visible bandwidth increase. NVIDIA believes that this will help both gamers and creators alike. NVIDIA announced that RTX 3080 Ti will cost 1199 USD, a 500 USD increase over RTX 3080 while offering 18% more cores and 20% more memory. NVIDIA also announced RTX 3070 Ti which is based on full GA104 GPU with 6144 CUDA cores. This SKU will also get GDDR6X memory, but the capacity will remain the same as RTX 3070’s, which is 8GB. This model will cost 599 USD. The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will be available on June 3 starting at $1,199, with the RTX 3070 Ti available on June 10 starting at $599. Both GPUs will be available for purchase as custom boards—including stock-clocked and factory-overclocked models—from leading add-in card providers, including ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Galax, GIGABYTE, Inno3D, MSI, Palit, PNY, Zotac and other regional providers around the world. Limited-edition NVIDIA Founders Edition boards will also be available. Look for GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GPUs at major retailers and etailers, as well as in gaming systems from major manufacturers and leading system builders worldwide.

Could these be Intel’s first 10nm desktop processors? It seems that Intel’s ark has been updated with yet unseen SKUs. Intel Core i9-11900KB appeared alongside other non-K (unlocked) variants, but they all share the same “B” moniker. According to Intel Ark, those processors are based on Tiger Lake and they indeed have 10nm architecture. Technically those would be the first 10nm desktop CPUs from Intel.

Windows 10X is officially dead - tech
(hx) 12:53 AM CEST - May,25 2021 - Post a comment
Microsoft has announced that Windows 10X is no longer releasing, confirming reports from earlier this month. In its blog post detailing the Windows 10 May 2021 Update, the company said that it decided the technology used in Windows 10X can be useful for more people than just a subset of Windows users. Instead of releasing Windows 10X as its own product, Microsoft says it will take what it has learned from its initial development of the OS to improve the core Windows experience and other products. Some of those improvements are already showing up in Insider Preview builds, too, like an improved voice typing experience, a new touch keyboard, and more. Going forward, the company will keep looking into what aspects of the Windows 10X technology can enhance the experience for its customers, though it's not clear what that means.

Following a year-long exploration and engaging in conversations with customers, we realized that the technology of Windows 10X could be useful in more ways and serve more customers than we originally imagined. We concluded that the 10X technology shouldn’t just be confined to a subset of customers.

Instead of bringing a product called Windows 10X to market in 2021 like we originally intended, we are leveraging learnings from our journey thus far and accelerating the integration of key foundational 10X technology into other parts of Windows and products at the company. In fact, some of this is already reflected in the core of Windows in Windows Insider preview builds, for example the new app container technology we’re integrating into products like Microsoft Defender Application Guard, an enhanced Voice Typing experience, and a modernized touch keyboard with optimized key sizing, sounds, colors and animations. Our teams continue to invest in areas where the 10X technology will help meet our customer needs as well as evaluate technology experiences both in software and hardware that will be useful to our customers in the future.

This shift in thinking is an incredible example of the company’s value of a growth mindset at work and exemplifies our customer-first focus.

Intel B560 is a Disaster - tech
(d@rkfu) 07:12 PM CEST - May,13 2021 - Post a comment / read (5)
So basically: Intel fudged the base clocks/boost clocks so they could market the 11400F as a competitor to the 3600/5600X at 65W TDP. And after that, motherboard makers are basically taking advantage of those TDP fudgings to cheap out on their budget board VRMs.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti supports 22GB of GDDR6 - tech
(d@rkfu) 11:47 AM CEST - May,11 2021 - Post a comment
Known for doubling the VRAM of an RTX 3070 and an RTX 2070 card, Vik-On has now done something similar to an RTX 2080 Ti. Although he couldn't actually mod 22GB of GDDR6 memory into an RTX 2080 Ti card, he has proven that such feat is possible with the right skills, equipment, and the correct firmware. If you have watched the video where the modder doubles the memory of an RTX 3070 card, you may fully appreciate how complex this process can be. However, in his latest attempt to mod a graphics card, he complicated things a bit more. Instead of just adding memory to a brand new card and making the appropriate adjustments for it to work, the modder grabbed a used and damaged RTX 2080 Ti. The card had already gone through three different stores to be repaired, but instead of fixing it, the card just got worse. When all seemed lost, the modder took matters into his own hands. After resoldering the GPU, fixing and testing the PCB, and installing new memory chips and other missing components, VIK-on made a strap mod to trick the GPU BIOS into supporting more memory.

Antminer has recently announced their most powerful Ethereum miner yet the E9 with performance of 3 GH/s as the price of Ethereum reaches all-time highs. The Chinese manufacturer advertises that this is equivalent to 32 NVIDIA RTX 3080 cards while coming in with significantly less power consumption and likely a lower price. The Antminer E9 achieves its 3 GH/s mining speed with a power consumption of just 2556 W which gives it an efficiency of 0.85 J/M which would make it one of the most efficient Ethereum miners available. While the ASIC appears to offer significant advantages it is unlikely to meet the global demand for global Ethereum miners and is unlikely to affect global GPU shortages. Bitmain did not announce specific pricing or availability information for the Antminer E9 ASIC.

AMD Radeon Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.4.1 driver - tech
(hx) 08:38 PM CEST - Apr,20 2021 - Post a comment
AMD today released the Radeon Software Adrenalin 21.4.1 drivers, which introduce major updates to the soft-product that completes your AMD Radeon graphics cards. The drivers come with updates to the Radeon Software interface, and the AMD Link remote-gameplay utility. Radeon Software now comes with an improved installer with installation presets that let you choose between a Full (typical) installation, with all software features installed; a Minimal installation with an interface that only has basic settings related to the display and GPU; and "driver-only" that only installs the display driver, and no additional software. There are several new features introduced within Radeon Software. Vivid Gaming Display Color Enhancement is a new monitor color profile that enables a more "vivid" color palette that lets you liven up "color deficient" scenes. The interface lets you take control of protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia components of the color. The search bar that lets you dig through the hundreds of features, has been improved. There are many other minor UI improvements, such as stats in the Games tab, a toggle for the in-built web-browser, and global controls for the hotkeys.

Perhaps the most talked about feature addition with Radeon Software 21.4.1, has to be the AMD Link remote-gaming feature. Until now, AMD Link was a mobile app that let you control your drivers. It's grown in functionality over the years to include game streaming. Your game, as rendered on your PC, is streamed to your portable devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs; and now AMD has also introduced a Windows app that lets you share your gameplay with anyone with the app, across the Internet. The process of sharing is very similar to that of Team Viewer. Besides gameplay, AMD Link can also let you share your non-gaming Desktop. AMD has significantly updated the streaming backend, which now offers better visuals and lower latencies, along with a dynamic quality control that adjusts quality with changes to your Internet bandwidth/latency. The service now supports up to 4K UHD resolution, with refresh-rates of up to 144 Hz.

A number of bugs have been fixed with this release, as llisted below.
  • Brightness flickering may intermittently occur in some games or applications when Radeon FreeSync is enabled, and the game is set to use borderless fullscreen.
  • SteamVR may experience an application crash when a VR headset is connected on Radeon RX 500 series graphics products.
  • Some high refresh rate, high resolution TV displays may experience corruption when connected via HDMI on Radeon RX 6000 series graphics products.
  • Applying changes in Radeon Performance Tuning may sometimes fail to take effect for changes made to power tuning.
  • Lower than expected performance may be experienced in some CPU intensive workloads or games.
  • Global performance tuning overclock profiles may sometimes override game specific performance tuning profiles or cause game specific performance tuning profiles to fail to load on a games launch.
  • Radeon Chill may experience lower than expected performance when a game is left idle for an extended period with Radeon Chill enabled.
  • Flickering may be observed in Radeon Software performance overlay while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on Radeon RX 6000 series graphics products.
How to Mine Chia, Hard Drive crypto mining - tech
(hx) 03:38 PM CEST - Apr,20 2021 - Post a comment / read (3)
A new cryptocurrency going by the name of Chia could bring about a boom in demand for HDD and SSD, which have been kept relatively untouched by the latest mining and supply constraints. However, optimistic predictions of falling prices for NAND (optimistic for consumers, that is) could prove to be erroneous. Apparently, the new cryptocurrency, which saw its whitepaper being published in February 9th and has already led to shortages of high-performance SSDs from China's Jiahe Jinwei. The cryptocurrency was designed to be mined in SSDs and HDDs, looking to cut on electricity cost from proof of Work (PoW) cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and (still) Ethereum. The intention is for the cryptocurrency to have as broad an appeal as possible, by excluding the need for prohibitive investments in either ASICs (for Bitcoin) or GPUs (for Ethereum and other Dagger/Hashimoto-based calculations). It also leverages that which is most widely available and oftentimes left empty of any workload - storage space. Due to this, it's been reported that Chinese miners are already buying HDDs (4 TB through to 18 TB) and SSDs (mainly NVMe solutions) in bulk. This could prevent technologists from ushering in the current trend of falling storage pricing - if demand becomes as crazy as it has become in the GPU space. Chia was designed by BitTorrent creator Bram Cohen, and uses a specific type of consensus and ledger-assurance system that's described as Proofs of Space and Time. The blockchain is farmed via Proof of Space, which is done inside your HDD or SSD via computing through already-in-storage models, and then contacts Chia's servers for Proof of Time - which essentially ensures that a required amount of time has passed between the block's generation and its actual inclusion in the network, to prevent any ill-intentioned farmer from assuming control of the network. There are several advantages to farming a cryptocurrency such as Chia over the more general proof of work models. HDDs and SSDs take up much lesser space than a rack of GPUs, whilst consuming much less power, generating much less heat and noise, and thus allowing for much higher scalings in farming scenarios (which is what Chia calls its mining, because it's more ecologically sustainable than the usual mining workloads).

DRAM Prices Projected to Rise by 18-23% QoQ in 2Q21 - tech
(hx) 11:02 AM CEST - Apr,20 2021 - Post a comment / read (1)
TrendForce's investigations find that DRAM suppliers and major PC OEMs are currently participating in the critical period of negotiating with each other over contract prices for 2Q21. Although these negotiations have yet to be finalized, the ASP of mainstream DDR4 1G*8 2666 Mbps modules has already increased by nearly 25% QoQ as of now, according to data on ongoing transactions. This represents a higher price hike than TrendForce's prior forecast of "nearly 20%". On the other hand, prices are likewise rising across various DRAM product categories in 2Q21, including DDR3/4 specialty DRAM, mobile DRAM, graphics DRAM, and in particular server DRAM, which is highly related to PC DRAM and is therefore also undergoing a higher price hike than previously expected. TrendForce is therefore revising up its forecast of overall DRAM price hike for 2Q21 from 13-18% QoQ to 18-23% QoQ instead. However, the actual increase in prices of various DRAM product categories will depend on the production capacities allocated to the respective products by DRAM suppliers.

PC DRAM prices are now expected to undergo a 23-28% QoQ growth in 2Q21 due to the increased production of notebook computers
PC DRAM contract prices are rising by a higher margin than previously expected for 2Q21 primarily because major PC OEMs are now aggressively expanding their production targets. Furthermore, as second quarters are generally peak seasons for notebook production, PC ODMs are now estimated to increase their quarterly production of notebook computers by about 7.9% QoQ in 2Q21. Finally, with regards to the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination rates remain relatively low across the globe, meaning WFH and distance education are likely to persist and create continued demand for notebook computers, thereby further expanding the hike in PC DRAM prices.

DRAM Suppliers will enjoy increased bargaining power in price negotiations as server DRAM prices are expected to increase by 20-25% QoQ in 2Q21
Apart from the issue of short DRAM supply, server DRAM procurement in 2Q21 has benefitted from the positive turn in the view of enterprises toward IT investments as well as the stronger-than-expected demand related to cloud migration. There was already a supply gap in 1Q21, and these developments will further drive up demand in 2Q21. Hence, difficulty has increased for buyers and suppliers in reaching an agreement on price. Suppliers are in a more advantageous position in contract negotiations since the DRAM market is an oligopoly. Therefore, compared to the previous forecast of nearly 20%, TrendForce is now expecting server DRAM contract prices to increase by 20-25% QoQ in 2Q21.

KB5001330 Bad Gaming Performance from Windows 10 - tech
(hx) 09:21 PM CEST - Apr,19 2021 - Post a comment / read (1)
Problems range from Vsync issues to games stuttering, frames dropping, and in some cases frequent BSOD crashes. It’s far from an isolated incident, with many comments identifying that the Windows 10 update is the culprit, and it doesn’t look like you’ll be safe on either side of the colour spectrum, either. Team green, blue, and red are all affected with a wide range of Nvidia and AMD graphics cards and Intel and AMD CPUs caught up in the mix. It looks like the issues are present on Windows 10 versions KB5001330 and KB5001337, according to a report from Computer Base. Nvidia has put out a statement on the issue, saying "if you are seeing lower performance in games, check if rolling back Windows 10 Update KB5000842 solves the issue".

Redditors give a non-exhaustive list of games suffering from the update, including Doom Eternal, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Red Dead Redemption 2, although there could be many more. There are ways to boost fps if Windows 10 doesn’t take no for an answer, which it regularly doesn’t, but there’s no guarantee these methods will help, so it’s best to roll back your update if you’re stuck with rampant fps issues that weren’t there before.
