NVIDIA launches the GTX 1080ti

NVIDIA today unveiled at GDC in San Francisco, its latest GPU to top the manufacturer’s portfolio: the GeForce GTX 1080ti. CEO Jen-Hsun Huang took the stage to break the news and present what is being called “the best GeForce”.

The video card counteracted some leaks that had come late last year and came with the number 11 in most of its specifications: they are 11 Gbps of processing rate and 11 GB of GDDR5X VRAM. In addition, the GPU, produced through the FinFET process, now comes with 3584 CUDA cores and 12 billion transistors help in this performance improvement.

Efficiency was also a major focus on the construction of the new GTX, with a seven-phase power design and 14 dualFETs.

As a result, GeForce GTX 1080p outperforms Titan X, which by then was the strongest GPU in the family of boards with Pascal architecture, and is up to 35% faster than normal 1080. “It’s time for something new, something 35% Faster than GTX 1080, something faster than Titan X. Let’s call it “The Ultimate GeForce”, “Jen-Hsun told an audience of more than 500 enthusiasts and players.

Increasing performance is not a demonstration of power, but a preparation for a future that the company already sees as a reality – and, in this case, virtual. Huang explained that the GTX 1080ti comes not only to meet the demands of 4K games and the public who need a high performance video card for editing and rendering but also for Virtual Reality.

“Year after year, video games get more and more beautiful, so we are introducing the next generation of top-of-the-line games so you’re ready to experience the next generation of games,” he said.

Demonstration of graphics capability was made using the Paragon game, in which the characters were presented at an impressive level of detail with the GPU running at over 2 GHz and with a temperature of 66 degrees.

This was possible because the heatsink has a new cooling structure through a steam chamber and an increase of 2 times the size of the airflow area. The good news is that the overclocking crowd will be greatly benefited and can expect “turbo-charged” 1080i versions out there.

The launch of the new GTX 1080ti, which will be sold for $ 699, brought in the luggage a significant price readjustment for the normal GTX 1080, which now costs $ 499. Sales begin next week, beginning March 10 in Worldwide .

New MacBook Pro have ‘touch’ bar on the keyboard

Apple introduced yesterday (27/10) new models of MacBook Pro notebook, among other innovations, have a “touch” bar at the top of the keyboard. The “Touch Bar” replaces the line with the F1, F2, F3, etc., conventional computers and gives access to various functions.

The “touch” bar appeared in images in updating the MacOS Sierra, the operating system that runs on Apple computers.

The company also added to their laptops recognition system fingerprint “Touch ID”, which already has the iPhone. In the case of a shared notebook by several people, this function will instantly recognize which one is using the device and adapt to the custom profile.

The new MacBook Pro will be available in 13- or 15-inch screens for $ 1.800 and $ 2.400, respectively. Deliveries should begin in the United States in “two or three weeks.”

A cheaper version of the MacBook Pro without the “Touch Bar” or “Touch ID” will be available from next week. The display is 13 inches with a starting price of US $ 1.500.

According to Apple, “touch” bar of the new devices can be customized and adapted to the application being used. There are, for example, navigation buttons or favorites list, when browsing the Internet with Safari; editing tools for editing photos; or emoticons line when you’re writing a message.

Apple says the Touch Bar is not only compatible with their own programs, but also with applications designed by other companies.

AMD VS NVIDIA.

For many consumers, choosing a new notebook involves deciding whether or not to buy a version that features a dedicated video card. In this sense, there are options of manufacturers NVIDIA and AMD in the national market, with one focused on different audiences.

Nvidia, for example, has a larger footprint than AMD, and features boards ranging from powerful gamers to entry-level cards for lower-end users. In the comparative below, know which brand takes advantage in choosing a notebook part: Nvidia or AMD

High performance: Nvidia

Overall, Nvidia's high-performance cards are a bit superior because they balance performance better with power consumption, a crucial aspect of a board limited by the notebook's power supply. This reality ends up manifesting decisively in the fact that notebooks gamers available in Brazil only rely on Nvidia video cards. Although many of them are a little late, with models from two generations ago, such as the Geforce GTX 860M. Of course, buying a gaming notebook with such an old board is a buying decision that, in itself, raises a number of issues. However, given the absence of AMD in this band, the victory between high-performance models falls on Nvidia.

Intermediate boards: tie

The most interesting point of dedicated video cards for notebooks is the price range from $ 2,000 onwards, where you can already find products with input GPUs such as GeForce GT 920M from Nvidia and Radeon R5 M230 Of AMD. This market range is very interesting because prices are more realistic on computers that arouse consumer interest by offering access to entertainment and processing power for heavy software leveraged by the presence of a GPU, even if the graphics chip in question is not as powerful. The tie here is decisive because, in this space, AMD gets quite representative. Advanced Micro Devices products are Dell's preferred brand in the current product cycle and are featured on some Lenovo computers as well. In addition, AMD's intermediate GPUs are the ones that equip all current MacBooks Pro with dedicated video card.

Offer: Nvidia

Both AMD and Nvidia are well represented in the Brazilian market in terms of notebooks. There are options of big brand models that use both, although there is a trend in favor of AMD in current Dell products, while Samsung, Acer and Asus use models from Nvidia. Lenovo has models with boards of both brands, but there are more options with Nvidia chips at the moment. Nvidia comes out the front because it is associated with more manufacturers. Although AMD is represented by fewer brands, the company benefits from the fact that Dell has a larger number of notebooks equipped with its Radeon R7 cards.

Consumption: Nvidia

Power consumption is fundamental in terms of notebooks, since in this type of format it is expected that the computer will be able to run away from the outlet for long periods of time. Dedicated video cards on laptops are always vile in that sense, since the component is developed to achieve high processing performance and this ends up being negative for the autonomy. In recent years, both AMD and Nvidia have been developing new graphics chips with lower appetite to decrease the consumption of their drives. AMD has made progress in this field, but the fact is that Nvidia boards are generally much more economical: the devices benefit from more efficient architectures, less heat and lower consumption. In numbers, a GPU such as the GT 940M, among the most common Nvidia in the Brazilian market (present in Asus, Lenovo and Samsung notebooks), has a TDP of 30 watts (number indicates the amount of energy that the board wastes in the way It is wasted more, it spends more and is less efficient). Its direct competitor is the Radeon R7 M265, used by Dell on several Inspiron models. The AMD card is noticeably slower, but still spends more, with 35 watts of TDP. If that comparative were relating desktop GPUs, the difference of only 5 watts would be practically irrelevant, but in laptops, any extra expense could compromise the machine's autonomy.

Prices: draw

It is common that the presence of a dedicated video card on board is decisive for the purchase decision. However, prices are not so affected by the plates. From the moment the consumer decides to invest in a notebook with a dedicated GPU, the price range is centered on values ​​starting at $ 2,000 for simpler computers, equipped with the GT 920M, Nvidia's entry card preferred by Manufacturers in the Brazilian market. From there, of course, prices go up a lot, but they are more affected by the whole product than by the existence of a better plate: an appliance with the 940M, top plate, can leave for $ 3,000, but in this package, The user will be taking home more RAM and, in most cases, better processor as well. The same goes for options with AMD. In the case of Dell, the R7 M265 appears in several Inspiron models, but its presence does not seem to be determinant in the price of the computer, while better processors, RAM and screen resolution yes.

Conclusion

Nvidia has some advantage in this analysis because it is associated with more manufacturers. In addition, its products are more economical, something fundamental in notebooks. In practice, AMD is present on Dell computers in a few Lenovo devices, and is unanimous in current MacBooks Pro. If you have any preference for any of these manufacturers, it is important to know more about Radeon to choose the right version for your needs. Those who are not loyal to any manufacturer, however, should tend to choose Nvidia. Consumption is key, but its greater market share means that branded cards appear more often, whether in the gamer format or in more general-purpose, entertainment-focused, and less demanding games, such as Preferred champions GT 920M and GT 940M.

If you have a problem, check the list if Internet Explorer exists and uncheck it at this time.

Fix Windows Update Error 9C48

Hello everyone, Windows 10 is already well-established with the Windows 7 upgrade. I mean, the vast majority of machines have already upgraded from Windows 7 to 10. But I have a lot of customers who still have Windows 7. This specific problem I got in Windows 7, but I have a friend who said solve the same problem this way in Windows 10. This message from Windows Update: Error 9C48 - You can not install Internet Explorer 11, or the Internet Explorer 11 update. Well, it's clear to everyone that the problem with this is Internet Explorer. There is a problem (one more) with Windows. During the time you used your computer with Windows 7, it comes pre-emptively with Internet Explorer 8. Then, by 2010, 2011, Windows has upgraded to Internet Explorer 9, then to 10, and most recently to 11.

It was like that, normally and naturally. Updating from one to the other, going through all versions. It turns out that now, when we install on a new machine Windows 7 and start to update, the smartness of Windows Update (program responsible for updating Windows) will update those 200 and few updates, but no order. This problem is also common in .NET Framework updates, but this is another case. Well, I like to explain why to help people find other solutions if mine does not solve your problem 100%. But let's get the resolution. First, identify which version of Internet Explorer you are using. It's simple, open Internet Explorer and Go to Menu, Help and About or In Gear (right side) and Envelope.

With this in mind, we need to uninstall this Internet Explorer because it is in trouble, correct? For uninstallation we have two situations. At first, just go to the Control Panel, Programs and Features and look for Internet Explorer 11 (or the service that you use) or even Windows Updates. But calm down there is often not so simple ... There is often no Internet Explorer in the listings. So I'll teach you to do the process manually (but it's not complicated). First and Crucial !!! Please install another browser before continuing. I would give preference to Chrome. If you already have another browser installed, try it now. Be it Opera, Chrome or Firefox. Have it working properly, because after uninstalling IE you may run out of previous version. ATTENTION: Internet Explorer is part of the basic Windows gear, so before starting the procedure make a Windows restore point as it may cause some problem and your machine will not start again.

Now the steps for manual removal

Remember that you should run the one relative to your current browser. Start the command prompt as an administrator. In the search, type cmd and right-click to select Run as administrator.

And copy and paste this command below.

INTERNET EXPLORER 11 FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*11.*.mum /c “cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /norestart” 

INTERNET EXPLORER 10 FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*10.*.mum /c “cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /norestart” 

INTERNET EXPLORER 9 FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*9.*.mum /c “cmd /c

Preparing to upgrade

After the uninstallation of Internet Explorer with problems, return the updates of Windows Update and install all of them, restarting the computer if necessary.

If you have a problem, check the list if Internet Explorer exists and uncheck it at this time.

It's important to upgrade to the optional Updates.

At this point, your computer may prompt you to reboot several times ... Go restarting and upgrading until it's done.

Open your Internet Explorer and check the version. If Internet Explorer 11 has already been installed at this time, it is finished.

Otherwise, there is the manual installation that I will quote below

Remembering that the upgrade should be done from smallest to largest, until finished. Ex: If you have 8, install 9, if 9, install 10, and so on.

Instalando Manualmente o Internet Explorer

I leave the links to Internet Explorer Setup below, but before you try here, I remind you that you must first log in to Windows Update and have it search for updates again by installing the Optional Updates as they may contain something that is pre- Requirement for installing Internet Explorer.

If you still have a problem installing Internet Explorer, follow the links for manual downloads. Follow according to your version of Windows.

Running the Windows Update Diagnostic Tool

This is a tool for diagnosing and fixing some Windows Update issues. It is rare that it solves everything, but it cleans up some history and fixes some Dll registration problems, which is important. Then at any time you can run this tool and try the steps again. Windows 7 - 32 bit Windows 7 - 64 bit The procedure is simple, just advance that the tool does everything by itself. Now with these steps you will be able to resolve the problem of Internet Explorer 11 Update Error 9c48

How to turn off Touch Screen Screen?

Hello, it may seem a bit strange to turn off the Screen Touch Screen, but know that it is not ... Touch screens or touch screens have become popular with the arrival of smartphones, but in a short time they went to notebooks and computers. In smartphones and tablets touch screens were essential to the growth of the Mobile Internet market and really improved the Internet access of cell phones rather than using that shameless keyboard of old cell phones, but in computers and notebooks this technology is not yet Widely used. Perhaps it is the ease of the mouse that is the main point of this, but lately I have noticed some problems with touch screens of larger sizes (notebooks and desktops). So for some months now I have noticed some screens of notebooks (mainly) and of desk monitors presenting defects. "Polka dots" appear on the screen at different points, as if he "clicked" alone at some point that you did not click. This happens because of some dirt, crooked screen (badly docked), bad contact or a malfunction of the touch screen sensor. For those who do not know, the glass that covers the touch screens that is responsible for receiving the click, and some screens that arrived for maintenance (exchange) and ended up not being exchanged for the high price. In case of problems or if the touch of your screen somehow disrupts your productivity, you can turn off this feature via Windows. Turning off the touch screen This goes for Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10 Access the start menu with the Windows key Search for Device Manager Expand the Human Interface Devices tab Disable the touch screen compatible with HID or HID-compilant touch screen. This will depend on your version of Windows and Hardware version of your notebook There are two screens with different options for you to locate better.

When you locate the component in Device Manager, you right-click and then Disable. It's no use uninstalling, because restarting your computer will install it again. You have to disable it anyway.

Let's say you want to leave the touch on and use it, here are some important considerations: When the touch screen is cracked or broken, the touch will not work. If you have upgraded your Windows and touch does not work, you may need the new driver. Visit the notebook manufacturer's website and look for the updated version. Try wiping your screen with a dry cloth (with the notebook off) to take out any dirt that could leave your touch completely crazy, thinking that you are clicking in several places at the same time Try to "fit" the screen. In some cases the screen is slightly undocked, you press the sides (with it off) gently to see if for some reason it is undocked.
