Asus Announces Range of Graphics Cards

by

Asus has announced the ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics cards, in standard and OC editions. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti features 10,752 CUDA cores and boasts 78 RT-TFLOPs, 40 Shader-TFLOPs and 320 Tensor-TFLOPs of power. It is packed with 24 GB of 21 Gbps GDDR6X memory, providing 1 TB/s of memory bandwidth.

The ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3090 Ti glides in with a closed-loop liquid cooling system and sports a custom-designed cold plate that extends over the GPU die and the onboard GDDR6X memory. It has a static LED light to indicate whether the card has been connected to the PSU through its 1×16-pin power connector and two FanConnect II headers to connect case fans to the graphics card to increase airflow when the GPU is under load. It also has a dual-mode BIOS switch and a 0 dB tech that allows the graphics card to automatically drop into silent running mode. The card sports RGB LEDs on the shroud, bridge and radiator fans and users can coordinate lighting effects with the rest of their Aura-compatible gear using Aura Sync.

The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Ti has an angular, matte black metallic shroud with rugged industrial design cues and covers a 3.2-slot heatsink that is ready to keep the GPU, VRAM and power delivery circuity cool.

A trio of Axial-tech fans push plenty of air through the high-surface-area heatsink. The central fan rotates clockwise, while the two on the flanks spin counterclockwise to reduce turbulence. Its memory heatsink keeps the complement of GDDR6X memory cool and a 0dB fan-stop mode allows the card to maintain silent running.

The card also features Auto-Extreme assembly technology that places and solders components without human intervention. Users have the option to personalise their TUF Gaming card to match the rest of their system using the onboard Aura RGB LEDs, as well. The ROG Strix LC and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics cards are now available for purchase.

Geforce GTX 1060 gets announced for the Indian market

by

NVIDIA officially revealed the existence of the Geforce GTX 1060, the mid-range card in the latest Pascal (10XX) series. This announcement comes just two months after the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 were launched worldwide.

Owing to the FinFET 16nm manufacturing process, the GTX 1060 is highly power efficient consuming 120 watts of power using just one 6-pin PCIe power connector. The card will be considerably cheaper than the last generation GTX 980 and yet deliver performance on the same level. Nvidia’s SMP (Simultaneous Multi-Projection) technology has been integrated into various game engines with over 30 titles in active development. This technology allows the card to seamlessly project a single image simultaneously to both eyes which yields three times the VR graphics performance improvement over the previous generation graphic cards.

The GTX 1060 also supports NVIDIA VRWorks, a software developer kit that allows game developers to intertwine what users see, hear and touch with the physical behavior of the environment to sell the VR experience better. Another new addition is NVIDIA Ansel which a game capture tool that lets users modify gameplay shots by changing the vantage point, letting the user point the camera in any direction or capture 360 degree stereo photospheres for viewing with VR headsets.

According to Nvidia, the card is around 15 percent faster and over 75 percent more power efficient than their closest competitor at stock speeds. No prizes for guessing who it is. After all, there are only 2 major graphic card players in the market – AMD and Nvidia.

The GTX 1060 will be sold from 17 July at a price of Rs. 22,999.

Specifications:
CUDA Cores: 1280
Core Clock: 1506MHz
Boost Clock: 1708MHz
VRAM: 6GB GDDR5
Memory Clock: 8Gbps
Memory Bus Width: 192-bit
Memory Bandwidth: 192 GB/s
DirectX Support: Dx 11,12
