While some would argue that October 5, 1991 is the actual birthday of Linux (that was when prototype code first dropped), today marks the anniversary of when Linus Torvalds first revealed he was working on a modest "hobby" OS that would go on to "revolutionize the world."
  • Intel Core i9-9900K confirmed to be soldered - It looks like the first salvo of new Intel Core 9th gen series processors (Coffee Lake Refresh) will be the high-end unlocked processors as follows; the Core i9-9900K, Core i7-9700K, and Core i5-9600K. This falls precisely in line with earlier rumours. There is confirmation provided for base and boost clock speeds, core counts, TDPs and more. The slide confirms that at least the top end Intel Core i9-9900K will arrive with a new Solder Thermal Interface Material (STIM). However, as Intel writes that "not all features are available on all SKUs" we don't know if the Core i7-9700K or Core i5-9600K will come with STIM (reminds me of StarCraft). Earlier rumours, that appear to be now confirmed, contained the detail that octa-core parts would come with a STIM while lower-end fewer-core parts will make do with the less thermally efficient but cheaper paste.

  • Best SSDs 2018: From Budget to Blazing Speed - A slow storage drive is a huge bottleneck, making your processor sit there twiddling its clock cycles, waiting for data to load.

  • Hacker Finds Hidden 'God Mode' on Old x86 CPUs - Some x86 CPUs have hidden backdoors that let you seize root by sending a command to an undocumented RISC core that manages the main CPU, security researcher Christopher Domas told the Black Hat conference here Thursday (Aug. 9). The command - ".byte 0x0f, 0x3f" in Linux - "isn't supposed to exist, doesn't have a name, and gives you root right away," Domas said, adding that he calls it "God Mode."
  • Intel discloses three more chip flaws - Intel has disclosed a new set of security flaws collectively called the L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF). These flaws were discovered in conjunction with researchers at KU Leuven University and other universities. The researchers call their discoveries Foreshadow and Foreshadow - Next Generation (NG). Intel even suggests that disabling SMT might be applicable in some use cases when running virtualized operating systems.
  • Windows 10 Redstone 5 Is Official With Build 1809, What To Look For - Microsoft released a new Windows 10 Insider Preview for PCs, bringing the build number to 17741. It doesn't contain much in the way of new features, but one thing that's changed is the version number. Redstone 5 is now officially Windows 10 version 1809. Windows 10 version numbers are based on the date that the update will be released to the general public. The first two digits are the year, and the last two are the month. 1809 means September 2018, so that's when you can expect Insiders to receive the final build for the update. Of course, that doesn't mean that's when it will be publicly released. Non-Insiders will probably see the update in October. While this doesn't really mean anything to the end user, it's a small milestone in the development cycle. After all, Redstone 5 has been developed under version 1803 for months. It will be interesting to see what the next version of Windows 10 will be. Microsoft is ditching Redstone codenames in favor of those that reflect the date, similar to version numbers, but a bit more vague. The next update will be 19H1, meaning the first half of 2019. It seems likely that that will eventually go to the same naming scheme that we all know, and will be called 1903. But for the time being, we finally have a version number for Redstone 5, which is 1809.
  • Microsoft Patch Tuesday Addresses Intel L1 Terminal Fault - Microsoft Patch Tuesday has implemented fixes and improvements to address the newly disclosed Intel L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF). AMD's Bulldozer and Jaguar processors reclaim lost performance as an issue that caused high CPU usage and degradation with Family 15h and 16h AMD processors was addressed. Battery life is improved for users running Windows 10 version 1803, and of course more Adobe Flash Player fixes were issued as usual.
  • Gmail's Confidential Mode Reaches Mobile Phones - Google today said that confidential mode, which can help protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, is available via the mobile Gmail app. Users will need to enable confidential mode when composing an email. Emails sent via confidential mode can be revoked at any time, or set to expire after a specific period. People who receive confidential emails won't be able to forward, copy, print, or download them. Google points out that confidential mode cannot stop people from taking screen shots of confidential emails. The updated mobile Gmail app is being distributed via the Google Play Store over the next few days.

This class of AI-powered evasive malware conceals its intent until it reaches a specific victim. It unleashes its malicious action as soon as the AI model identifies the target through indicators like facial recognition, geolocation and voice recognition.
  • Google Pixel 3 XL Glamorously Unboxed a Month before Launch - Buying unannounced smartphones on the black market is not a new practice by any means, and its legality is certainly dubious at best depending on your jurisdiction (knowingly buying stolen goods is a misdemeanor or a felony in the United States), but this is definitely a big leak at Google's expense and one that is coming earlier than even the most revealing leaks of previous Pixel phones.
  • Galaxy J2 Core Is Samsung's First Android Go Phone - Samsung today announced the J2 Core, a low-cost phone based on the Android Go platform. This device relies on design language similar to Samsung's pricier phones. It features a 5-inch display with 960 by 540 resolution. The J2 Core is powered by a Samsung Exynos 7570 processor and it has 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of built-in storage. Two cameras are aboard the J2 Core, including an 8-megapixel shooter on back with a flash and a 5-megapixel shooter on front. Both cameras have an aperture of f/2.2 and tools such as beauty mode. The phone packs a 2,600mAh battery and includes Bluetooth, GPS, and WiFi. The Android Oreo Go operating system includes compact versions of key apps, such as Google Go, Assistant Go, YouTube Go, Gboard, Chrome, Maps Go, Files Go, Gmail Go, and Google Play. The phone will initially go on sale in Malaysia, and will eventually spread to other markets. Samsung has not announced plans to offer the Galaxy J2 Core in the U.S.
  • Samsung Develops Its Own 5G Modem - Samsung has announced the Exynos Modem 5100 for mobile devices with support for the 5G New Radio standard (3GPP release 15) in both sub-6 GHz and mmWave bands. Samsung says the Exynos 5100 is built using a 10nm process. The company claims to have successfully conducted an over-the-air 5G NR test with the modem using a 5G base station. It handles legacy networks, such as 2G GSM/CDMA, 3G WCDMA, HSPA, and LTE along with the 5G standard. Samsung says the modem delivers download speeds up to 2 Gbps in sub-6 GHz settings and 6 Gbps in mmWave settings. The Exynos 5100 is capable of achieving 1.6 Gbps via LTE 4G. Samsung says the Exynos Modem 5100 also includes envelope tracking, radio frequency IC, and power management solutions. It will be available to hardware makers by the end of the year. Phones with integrated 5G are not expected until 2019.
  • Twitter Sunsets Support for iOS 9 - Twitter says it will no longer provide updates to its app for devices running iOS 9 and older. In the changelog for the most recent iteration of the app, Twitter explained that it is "streamlining our app development for all clients. As a result, devices on iOS 9 or older will no longer receive updates from Twitter." Twitter goes on to say that people interested in the latest features, bug fixes, and security improvements to the app will need to update their iPhone or iPad to iOS 10 or higher. Apple's iOS 9 is nearing three years old, and Apple is on the cusp of releasing iOS 12. Twitter for iOS 9 will still offer base functionality.
  • T-Mobile Tells Customers Their Data Was Hacked - T-Mobile has informed some customers that a security breach may have exposed some of their personal data. T-Mobile's security team discovered that customer data was being accessed without permission on August 20 and shut down the operation. T-Mobile says credit card numbers, social security numbers, and passwords were not involved, but names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and account numbers were exposed. T-Mobile apologized for the breach and told customers they can contact the company to learn more if they wish. The incident impacted some 2.3 million T-Mobile postpaid and MetroPCS prepaid customers. T-Mobile reported the breach to authorities.
  • Samsung Says Samsung Pay Now Available On 6 Continents - Samsung Pay has launched mobile payments in South Africa, bringing the total number of markets served to 24 across six continents. Samsung has partnered with some 2,000 banking and financial institutions to serve as many people as possible. Samsung Pay supports online purchases in 15 markets, transit cards in five markets, loyalty and membership cards in 20 markets, ATM transactions in five markets, and Samsung Rewards in 10 markets. Samsung Pay has been integrated into Samsung's Bixby voice assistant, allowing people to make purchases at some merchants with a voice request. Samsung Pay relies on both NFC and MST (magnetic stripe) technology, which makes it compatible with more payments terminals than an NFC-only service such as Apple Pay. Samsung says Samsung Pay has surpassed 1.3 billion transactions. The tap-and-go functionality is available to the new Samsung Galaxy Note9 and Galaxy Watch, as well as many of Samsung's older high-end phones.
  • Internet Fire Challenge Leaves 12 Year Old Girl Horribly Burned - 12 year old Timiyah Landers was conversing with her friends as her mother took a nap. Then suddenly an explosion awakened the mother and little Timiyah was a human fireball running through the house. Timiyah had taken part in the new, dangerous internet craze called the "fire challenge." In the fire challenge, participants douse themselves with rubbing alcohol from head to toe and then set their bodies on fire. Timiyah was burned over 49% of her body and will spend many months in the hospital on a ventilator instead of starting the 7th grade with her peers.
  • FitBit Charge 3 Targets More Activities and Offers More Smartphone - FitBit today announced the Charge 3, a fitness tracker that ups the ante thanks to a larger screen and smartwatch-like features.

RTX 2080 is up to 50 percent faster than the 1080 - tech
(hx) 12:29 AM CEST - Aug,23 2018 - Post a comment / read (4)
With preorders already live, Nvidia is now revealing that there will be some noticeable gains from a GTX 1080 to the new RTX 2080. Games like PUBG, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Hitman 2, Wolfenstein II, and Shadow of War will be around 50 percent faster on an RTX 2080 at 4K resolution. Nvidia also claims 4K running at 60 fps is now possible with the RTX 2080 in games like Call of Duty WW2, Destiny 2, Far Cry 5, and Battlefield 1. Nvidia’s GTX 1080 Ti was always close to (or achieved) the 4K / 60 ideal, and as these performance gains are only being revealed with the RTX 2080, the RTX 2080 Ti should have some reasonable headroom for modern titles at 4K / 60. Nvidia is also revealing that games like PUBG, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Final Fantasy XV are seeing around 75 percent or more improved performance when developers utilize its new Deep Learning Super-Sampling (DLSS) rendering technique. DLSS utilizes the new Turing cores embedded in the RTX 2080 to apply deep learning and AI to render objects in games. It’s part of Nvidia’s overall RTX work, and the company is planning to fully detail many of its AI improvements at a later date. The greatest performance gains will clearly be seen in games that utilize ray tracing or this new AI rendering technique, but we’ll need to test the RTX 2080 fully to see how well it performs for 4K / 60 in the modern games that launch without support for ray tracing or DLSS.

While NVIDIA did not reveal any benchmarks for its new RTX graphics card, we got a taste of what the high-end model, the RTX 2080Ti, can achieve in a specific current-gen tech demo. As NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang claimed, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti was able to run the Unreal Engine 4 Infiltrator tech demo in 4K with 78fps at a "quality that has never be seen before".

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti will cost $1199 - tech
(hx) 01:04 AM CEST - Aug,21 2018 - Post a comment / read (1)
Nvidia’s new high-end graphics cards are the GeForce RTX 2070, RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti, the company announced today during a pre-Gamescom 2018 livestream from Cologne, Germany. These new 20-series cards will succeed Nvidia’s current top-of-the-line GPUs, the GeForce GTX 1070, GTX 1080 and GTX 1080 Ti. While the company usually waits to launch the more powerful Ti version of a GPU, this time around, it’s releasing the RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti at once. They won’t come cheap. The Nvidia-manufactured Founders Edition versions will cost $599 for the RTX 2070, $799 for the RTX 2080 and $1,199 for the RTX 2080 Ti. The latter two cards are expected to ship "on or around" Sept. 20, while there is no estimated release date for the RTX 2070. Pre-orders are currently available for the RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced different “starting at” prices during the keynote presentation. Huang’s presentation said the RTX 2070 will start at $499, the RTX 2080 at $699 and the RTX 2080 Ti at $999. Asked for clarification, an Nvidia representative told Polygon that these amounts reflect retail prices for third-party manufacturers’ cards.

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti packs 3584 CUDA cores, 224 texture units and 88 ROPs. It comes with 11GB of GDDR5X VRAM, which has a speed of 11Gbps – making this Nvidia’s quickest Pascal card. It also has a base clock of 1,480MHz, and a boost clock of 1,582MHz. Meanwhile the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti features 4352 Cuda cores, 272 texture cores and 88 ROPs. Memory-wise it has 11GB of GDDR6 VRAM with a speed of 14Gbps. Its base clock is 1,350MHz, and it has a boost clock of 1,545MHz. That's for the reference spec of the RTX 2080 Ti. There is also a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition which features an overclocked boost of 1,635MHz.

(hx) 08:24 PM CEST - Aug,10 2018 - Post a comment
Nvidia will supposedly adopt an all new RTX branding for the upcoming Turing family of graphics cards according to AdoredTV’s unnamed sources. The tech YouTuber backs up his claims noting that Nvidia recently trademarked GeForce RTX and Quadro RTX. The running theory so far is the RTX name may allude to Nvidia introducing real-time Raytracing technology, which thus far has only been available through the company’s extremely expensive Volta-based supercomputers. AdoredTV also claims its source has said that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 will be 8% faster than the GTX 1080 Ti and 50% faster than the GTX 1080. A new Titan GPU is also purportedly in the works to be 15% faster than the Titan V and 50% faster than the GTX 1080 Ti.

AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 18.8.1 Beta Drivers - tech
(hx) 08:19 AM CEST - Aug,07 2018 - Post a comment
AMD today released version 18.8.1 beta of its Radeon Software Adrenalin drivers that keep your graphics card's performance equal to that of a well/oiled machine (figuratively, of course). The new software version brings driver-level support and improvements for the upcoming (and highly awaited) Monster Hunter: World. for that game, this driver release promises up to 5% and 6% increased performance on AMD's RX Vega graphics card and RX 580, respectively, compared to AMD's 18.6.1 driver release at 1080p. This driver also adds support for World of Warcraft : Battle for Azeroth, We Happy Few, and Madden NFL 19. Another interesting additions are the extended functions for the Vulkan API, supporting more commands than previous driver versions.
Fixed Issues
  • Fortnite may experience an application crash on game launch in Windows 7.
  • Some games may experience a game crash or hang on multi GPU system configurations when changing or applying resolutions.
  • Graphics and memory clock speeds may remain elevated or locked while gaming if video content is also playing on the system.
  • Civilization VI may experience a game crash using DirectX 12 API on game or map launch.
  • Samsung HMD Odyssey may experience intermittent black screens or flashing on Radeon RX Vega series graphics products.

Threadripper 2990WX Faster Then Intel i9-7980XE - tech
(hx) 04:37 PM CEST - Aug,06 2018 - Post a comment / read (4)
AMD a 32-core performance benchmark Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX, which shows that it is surpassing Intel's flagship Core i9-7980XE chip. It is considered as the "most powerful desktop processor in the world", and in the Cinebench R15 CPU benchmark it reached 5,099 on average. That compares to a score of 3.335 for the Intel Core i9-7980XE which is an 18-core processor, and means that the AMD chip is 53% faster than its rival flagship. Of course, while the 7980XE might be the most robust chip in the Core series at this time, its core count is considerably less than the Threadripper 2990WX.

While Intel has 28 cores on the horizon, capable of running at a speed of 5GHz, that particular processor will cost a fortune and will not be used for consumer PCs. It's also worth noting that AMD performed this Cinebench test in particular on June 26, so it was a while ago, and it used a sample 2990WX chip; which means that the final production version of the processor will run even faster. Specification details of the Threadripper 2990WX have already spilled, and the chip is expected to achieve a 3GHz base clock with a 4GHz increase in its 32 cores. And it will conduct a little more in a single core, reaching an increase of up to 4.2GHz.

  • Asus ROG Strix X299-E Gaming ATX Motherboard Review: 44-Lane CPU Ready - The ROG Strix X299-E Gaming is a strong contender for buyers with 44-lane Core-X CPUs. But its unacceptable slot configuration with 28-lane processors prevents any broader recommendation.
  • Dell G7 15 Gaming Laptop Review: Affordable, Stylish, And Powerful - The specific configuration we took a look at packs an 8th generation six-core Intel Core i7-8750H processor, 16GB of DDR4 2666MHz memory, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 with Max-Q design and 6GB of GDDR5 memory, all wrapped in a dapper chassis. For storage, it pairs a 128GB M.2 SATA SSD with a 1TB hard drive (5400 RPM). Dell lists the market price for this setup at $1,209.99, but sells it online for $1,099.99.
  • Microsoft Surface Go Receives Repairability Score of 1 Out of 10 - The lack of modularity, especially on high-wear ports, makes repairs unnecessarily expensive. Adhesive holds many components in place, including the display and battery. Replacement of any part requires removal of the display assembly, an easy (and expensive) part to damage
  • Apple Says 2018 MacBook Pro Throttling is a Bug - Apple has released a new supplemental update to macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, which is designed to address a bug that caused the new eighth-generation quad-core and 6-core Intel processors in the 2018 MacBook Pro models to throttle inappropriately.

  • iPad Pro may be dropping the headphone jack but adding Face ID - Apple might be removing the headphone jack and adding Face ID to its newest iPad Pro models. Despite carrying the "Pro" moniker and shipping with apps for multimedia production, you may have to buy a dongle to use studio quality wired headphones. For each new Apple device that has arrived in recent years, dropping features seems to be just as popular as adding them. This year's iPad Pro models may arrive without a 3.5mm headphone jack according to rumors from Macotakara. In the report provided, the 10.5-inch iPad Pro shaves a few millimeters off of the width and height with no significant change to overall thickness. Dimensions are believed to be 247.5mm x 178.7mm x 6mm compared to the existing model at 250.6mm x 174.1mm x 6.1mm. Apple's 12.9-inch iPad Pro will see more evident reductions in physical size. Predicted dimensions come out to 280mm x 215mm x 6.4mm down from 305.7mm x 220.6mm x 6.9mm. This shrink will result in a noticeably shorter and slightly narrower body. Additionally, Face ID may be incorporated into the upcoming iPad Pro models. Contrary to previous reports, Face ID is believed to only work in the portrait orientation. Considering many iPad apps work better in landscape mode, this could prove to be somewhat of a nuisance.
  • GalaxyNote9 can shoot in 960fps for 0.4 seconds. 0.2 seconds -  According to SamsungMobile.News Twitter account, the Galaxy Note9 will be able to shoot in 'Super slow-mo' just like the Galaxy S9 and S9+ but will be able to capture more footage, extending the time from 0.2 seconds to 0.4 seconds. It is unclear at what resolution it will be shooting at, but if similar to the Galaxy S9, it should be at 720p resolution.
  • Samsung Creates 'Unbreakable' Display Panel for Phones - Samsung Display has said it has developed an unbreakable smartphone panel, and that the panel has been certified by the Underwriters Laboratories. The flexible OLED panel has an unbreakable substrate and an overlay window adhered to the front, says Samsung. The Underwriter's Laboratory said the panel surpasses military specifications. It handled repeated drops from 1.2 meters onto all edges, as well as extreme high (169F) and low (-26F) temperatures. The display panel was also dropped from 1.8 meters with no damage. Samsung Display says the OLED panel can be used on smartphones, in-car displays, military devices, portable game consoles, and tablets. "The fortified plastic window is especially suitable for portable electronic devices not only because of its unbreakable characteristics, but also because of its lightweight, transmissivity and hardness, which are all very similar to glass," said Samsung Display's Hojung Kim. Samsung did not say when the unbreakable OLED panel will reach devices. Samsung is expected to announce its next flagship phone, the Galaxy Note 9, at an event in early August.
  • Google Updates Developer Policies and Bans More Apps - Google has introduced a significant update to its Play Store Developer Policies and in so doing banned more categories of apps. For example, apps that mine cryptocurrencies on Android devices are no longer allowed. "The only cryptocurrency mining apps allowed are those that mine outside of the device, like cloud-based mining," said Google in the updated policies. Apps that copy other apps are now banned, as well. Google is specifically seeking to keep apps that steal the user interface or content from original apps out of the Play Store, as well as apps that are "created by an automated tool, wizard service, or based on templates." Google has put new safeguards in place to keep apps that "facilitate the sale of explosives, firearms, ammunition, or certain firearms accessories" from the Play Store. Apps that offer how-to instructions on creating bombs, guns, ammunition, and other weapons are prohibited. Last, apps that "appeal to children but contain adult themes" are no longer welcome in the Play Store. Google is banning apps that look to trick users by impersonating other people, companies, or businesses. The new policies went into effect immediately. Developers should ensure their apps meet the new criteria when submitting them to the Play Store.

Galaxy Note 9 launch video leaks online - tech
(hx) 04:04 PM CEST - Aug,03 2018 - Post a comment / read (2)
Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 isn't being unveiled until August 9, but with so many leaks arriving right now, will there be much left to reveal at the Unpacked event? The latest comes from the company itself, which appears to have accidentally leaked the official launch promo video online. Samsung refers to its upcoming handset as 'super powerful' in the clip. We get confirmation that the rear fingerprint sensor has moved from the Note 8's annoying off-center position next to the flash, to a central point below the dual cameras. There's also a USB Type-C port on show, along with a headphone jack-something Samsung is sticking with, despite many other phone manufacturers abandoning the port.



Samsung calls the device '1 terabyte ready,' which relates to the 512GB SD card being removed from the machine, rather than the Note 9 somehow boasting 1TB of internal storage. But it does mean a 512GB variant will be available. It also mentions the Note's "all day battery," which it focused on in a teaser video last week. The handset is said to feature a 4,000mAh battery, besting the Note 8's 3,300mAh version.

The video gives us a look at the "all new powerful" S Pen, but there's no mention of the Bluetooth functionality we heard about in previous rumors. Maybe that's something Samsung is holding back until the press event.

Samsung already has a launch page up and ready for those wishing to pre-order a Note 9, and an alleged spec list has been leaked by a Russian retailer. It lists a 6.4-inch QHD+ sAMOLED display and a variable aperture dual 12-megapixel camera setup like the one from the Galaxy S9.
GeForce Game Ready Driver 398.82 WHQL - tech
(hx) 12:11 AM CEST - Aug,03 2018 - Post a comment / read (4)
NVIDIA today released GeForce 398.82 WHQL drivers. These drivers are game-ready for the week's hottest game releases: "World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth," and "Monster Hunter: World." Nvidia boasts that their GTX 1060 will handle World of Warcraft at 60FPS at 1080p, a GTX 1070 is great for 1440p, and the GTX 1080 is perfect for 4K gaming in the title. These are all done with the in-game settings on the "High" preset. I didn't see mention of what settings will be needed for Monster Hunter: World to achieve 60 FPS though ;-) The drivers also add or update SLI profiles for "Call of Duty: Black Ops 4" and "World of Warcraft." The drivers fix color corruption seen on "World of Warcraft: Legion" on machines with G-Sync HDR and Windows HDR mode enabled. The drivers also bring back graphics settings in "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus," and missing G-Sync Control Panel on machines with G-Sync Surround.
If you like World of Warcraft, you like stats, so here's some: at 1920x1080, our benchmarking concluded with an average framerate of 65.4 on the GeForce GTX 1060, when paired with an i5-6600K. A minimum framerate of 53 was the lowest we saw, and the frametime plot was near-perfect, indicating performance was smooth and stable. At 2560x1440, the GeForce GTX 1070 gave us a 65.6 FPS average, with a minimum of 52, and equally-smooth frametimes . And at 4K, it's recommended that players step up to an i7 for a perfect 60 frames per second on a GeForce GTX 1080, with the occasional dip to 51 FPS.

GeForce GTX1080 unable to run Monster Hunter World - tech
(hx) 10:11 PM CEST - Jul,26 2018 - Post a comment
Monster Hunter World releases next month on the PC and it appears that some people have already gotten their hands on it. Resetera’s ‘FluffyQuack‘ who got access to it has shared some initial performance impressions, and shared some PC screenshots that you can find below.

As FluffyQuack noted, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080 is simply unable to offer a 60fps experience at 1440p on the Highest settings. On High settings this powerful GPU is able to offer 60fps in the Hub area and on Medium settings it can offer 65fps.

I did a quick performance test in the starting hub (running the game at 2560×1440):
Highest preset: 44
Highest preset (except for volumetric set to “high”): 50
High preset: 60
Mid preset: 65
Low preset: 108
FluffyQuack used an Intel i7-4790K with 16GB of RAM so obviously he was not CPU limited. Moreover, he noted that Capcom has added a very taxing option, called Volume Rendering Quality, and that’s the first setting that gamers should disable in order to improve performance.

The Elusive Frame Timing - Correcting the "Heartbeat" - tech
(hx) 11:48 AM CEST - Jul,26 2018 - Post a comment
What happens here is that the game measures what it thinks is start of each frame, and those frame times sometimes oscillate due to various factors, especially on a busy multitasking system like a PC. So at some points, the game thinks it didn't make 60 fps, so it generates animation frames slated for a slower frame rate at some of the points in time. But due to the asynchronous nature of GPU operation, the GPU actually does make it in time for 60 fps on every single frame in this sequence.

GeForce GTX 1170 Turing GPU Beating GTX 1080 Ti - tech
(hx) 11:34 PM CEST - Jul,22 2018 - Post a comment / read (9)
One of the worst kept secrets in tech right now is that NVIDIA is preparing to launch its next-generation Turing GPU lineup for gamers. The company is scheduled to talk about those GPUs at the Hot Chips conference next month, and it's conceivable that Turing might launch before then. According to the screenshots, it's an EVGA brand GeForce GTX 1170 that was plopped into a test bed with an Intel Core i5-8600K processor. The card is shown to have 16GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit memory interface, both of which seem reasonable. However, it's also listed as having a 2.5GHz clockspeed. For comparison, a Founders Edition GeForce GTX 1080 Ti features a 1,481MHz base clock and 1,582MHz boost clock. The more aggressively overclocked variants by NVIDIA's third-party partners typically sport clockspeeds that are around 100MHz faster—still well below the supposed 2.5GHz we are looking at in this leak. The screenshot shows the GeForce GTX 1170 scoring 29,752 in the Graphics portion of 3DMark's FireStrike benchmark. That's about 5 percent faster than your typical GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, which is NVIDIA's fastest consumer card outside of the Titan series. Compared to a GeForce GTX 1070, it's about 65 percent faster.

  • Corning Designed Gorilla Glass 6 to Better Handle Real-World Drops - Corning today announced Gorilla Glass 6, an improved version of its toughened glass for mobile devices. Corning specifically engineered Gorilla Glass 6 to better handle drops. The company claims the glass can survive 15 drops onto rough surfaces made from a height of one meter. The glass can withstand drops from higher heights than Gorilla Glass 5. The glass of today's devices is most often damaged when dropped from about waist height. Gorilla Glass 6 is 0.8mm thick, and yet still retains strength and opacity. The company says it improved its testing methods to account for different impact surfaces and angles to ensure it could strengthen the glass. Gorilla Glass 6 is equivalent to previous generations of Gorilla Glass when it comes to scratch resistance. It will be up to individual mobile device makers to cover their displays with Gorilla Glass 6. Gorilla Glass 6 is already in production.
  • Google Vows to Appeal $5 Billion Fine from EU - Google has been fined $5 billion by the European Union (EU) for anti-competitive practices. First Google required Android phone manufacturers to bundle Google search and other Google web services with every device as the default in exchange for access to the Google Play store. Secondly, Google paid phone manufacturers to make sure that only the Google Search app was preinstalled on such devices. Lastly, Google has obstructed the development of competing mobile operating systems that could have provided a platform for rival search engines to gain traffic. Google has 90 days to amend the contracts with phone manufacturers that require Google services to be set as the default on devices sold to consumers or face additional daily fines.

  • Extract password from TeamViewer memory using Frida - Do you use TeamViewer to ease access to any of the boxes on your network? If so, this warning over at CVE Search (CVE-2018-14333) is worth a look and certainly the readme on vah13/extractTVpasswords is worth a read. While you would most likely need to be physically at the computer in question, or if system was already compromised in some other way, it is possible to use this TeamViewer password exploit to later gain full control over the system remotely. TeamViewer through 13.1.1548 stores a password in Unicode format within TeamViewer.exe process memory between "[00 88] and "[00 00 00]" delimiters, which might make it easier for attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging an unattended workstation on which TeamViewer has disconnected but remains running.
  • Huawei Says GPU Turbo Update to Boost Mate 10 Pro, P20 Pro  - Huawei today announced plans to tweak the graphics performance of its phones. The company will update a number of devices with what it calls GPU Turbo, a graphics processing technology that lets phones run GPU-intense apps, such as games, faster and more efficiently. Huawei claims that GPU Turbo optimizes system software and hardware resources to improve GPU efficiency by 60% while lowering power consumption by 30% thanks to its re-architected method for handling graphics. The end result is a noticeable upgrade in device performance without forcing users to buy a new phone in order to run the latest games and apps. Huawei plans to roll the update out to its flagship devices, the Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P20, and P20 Pro in August, with other devices to follow later in the year.
  • iPhone Battery Life Dropped Significantly After iOS 11.4 Update - It seems as though every new iOS updates brings various complaints from users ranging from performance setbacks to battery life issues, and iOS 11.4 is no exception. iPhone users running iOS 11.4 right now have been complaining in droves that battery life has suffered after the update. Reports indicate that there are over 33 pages of complaints on the Apple website from users suffering from varying levels of battery drain since updating to iOS 11.4. The main complaint is standby battery life has been significantly impacted for many of these users. One user claims that before iOS 11.4 he was able to go a full day without charging his iPhone 6, but after the update, the phone only lasts about half a day. The user maintains the only change to his device was the update to iOS 11.4.
  • Apple to Bring More Emoji to iPhone Later This Year - Apple today committed to adopting more than 70 new emoji. The Unicode Consortium announced Unicode 11, which includes dozens of new emoji, in February and made the final version available in June. Apple says new emoji characters will soon grace the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. Unicode 11 brings new representation for emoji with options for red hair, gray hair, curly hair, and no hair, as well as more food, animals, sports, and other items. Apple didn't specifically say Unicode 11 will be added to iOS 12, but that is the route Apple is most likely to pursue. iOS 12 is already in beta testing and will be distributed to iOS devices in September or October.
  • Galaxy Note 9 Geekbench Score Claims Even Faster Exynos 9820 CPU - Samsung Galaxy Note fans have a lot to look forward to with the Note 9 that's incoming next month. We saw some leaked benchmarks turn up in late May and in those benchmarks the device was running an Exynos 9810 SoC but that's presumably for the non-US version of the device. More benchmarks have leaked and this time, the leak claims that the Note 9 in this run was powered by an even faster Exynos 9820 SoC. The new leak shows a device carrying the Samsung SM-N960X designation. It scores a whopping 4,089 in the single core test and 12,246 for a multi-core score. These scores absolutely crush the scores we saw on the benchmark leak back in May when the Exynos 9810 version racked up 2,737 on single-core and 9,064 on multi-core. The benchmark results show this Exynos 9820 device was running Android 8.0.0 and was using 3,483MB of RAM, or 4GB. The version that made the benchmark run back in May was backed by 6GB of RAM. These scores do show that the alleged Note 9 does just edge out iPhone X in multi-core performance at least. Apple will certainly have higher performance up its sleeves when the new iPhones launch in the coming months packing the A12 chipset, however.
  • The Great Apple Keyboard Cover-Up - This flexible enclosure is quite obviously an ingress-proofing measure to cover up the mechanism from the daily onslaught of microscopic dust. Not -- to our eyes -- a silencing measure. In fact, Apple has a patent for this exact tech designed to "prevent and/or alleviate contaminant ingress."
  • Sprint Hikes Prices with Revamped Unlimited Plans - Sprint today announced new "Unlimited Plus" and "Unlimited Basic" plans. Unlimited Plus replaces the old Unlimited Freedom plan and raises the price from $60 to $70 per month for the first line. Additional lines are discounted, down to $42 per line for a family of five. Like the old Unlimited Freedom, Unlimited Plus offers HD video streaming and Hulu, however Tidal music streaming is now included, and the mobile hotspot allowance has increased from 10 GB to 15 GB. A limited-time offer slashes the price of Unlimited Plus by $20 per line if customers bring their own phone or buy one at full price, instead of leasing a phone from Sprint. That works out to $50/month for one line, or as little as $22/line for five lines. A new Unlimited Basic plan costs the same as the old Unlimited Freedom plan, but offers less. Video streaming is limited to SD resolution, music streaming is limited to to 500kbps, and mobile hotspot data is throttled after 0.5 GB. Unlimited Basic includes Hulu, but not Tidal. Unlimited Basic runs $60/month for the first line. Additional-line discounts bring the price per line down to $32/month for a family of five. There is no discount for using a non-leased phone, meaning Unlimited Plus is temporarily $10/line cheaper than Unlimited Basic with a non-leased phone. The new plans will be available starting tomorrow, July 13th
  • Opener Unveils First Ultralight Electric Personal VTOL Aircraft for - Opener which is partially financed by Google co-founder Larry Page has announced that their BlackFly ultralight electric fixed-wing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft has passed US certifications. While there is no license required to fly the vehicle, they will require a FAA Private Pilot written examination like a pilot would take and an introductory course.

  • Joss Whedon will return to sci-fi TV with HBO's The Nevers - Joss Whedon, the creator of acclaimed TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly, has been announced as showrunner for a new HBO series titled The Nevers. The Friday announcement confirms Whedon as "executive producer, showrunner, writer, and director" for his first-ever non-network TV series, following his RECENT executive producer and co-creator duties on the ongoing series Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. HBO describes the show as "an epic science-fiction drama about a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities," and its statement makes no bones about Whedon's legacy by claiming it "follows in the footsteps of Buffy." HBO did not announce a release window, actors, or other principal members of the cast and crew.

(hx) 11:34 PM CEST - Jul,16 2018 - Post a comment / read (2)
In May 2018, AMD commissioned QA Consultants to independently evaluate the stability of several of the latest graphics drivers from both AMD and NVIDIA. A pool of 6 AMD and 6 NVIDIA graphics accelerators were subjected to 12 days of 24-hour stress testing using CRASH from Microsoft’s Windows Hardware Lab Kit (HLK). Gaming and Workstation products from both graphics vendors were equally represented. The aggregate of AMD products passed 93% of scheduled tests whereas the aggregate of NVIDIA products passed 82% of scheduled tests (See Figure 1).

AMD Radeon Adrenalin 18.7.1 Drivers - tech
(hx) 08:20 PM CEST - Jul,12 2018 - Post a comment
AMD today rolled out the latest version of Radeon Software Adrenalin. Version 18.7.1 drivers come with optimization for "Earthfall," with up to 28 percent more performance measured on Radeon RX Vega 56 and up to 28 percent more performance to be had on the RX 580 8 GB, at 1440; and up to 27 percent higher performance measured at 1080p, on the RX 560 4 GB.

The drivers also address a number of bugs, including random crash noticed in "Fortnite Season 5," when rendering throwing stars. Flickering noticed on "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice" has been fixed. The drivers also fix a bug of not all compatible display modes appearing in Windows; slower than expected performance in Corel Draw, and black screen noticed during boot on displays connected via DisplayPort. A bug with memory clocks remaining high (i.e. not spooling down at lower power states), when changing resolutions or refresh-rates, has also been fixed.
