Swiftech Announces New FlagShip Apogee XL CPU Waterblock. Long Beach, April 19, 2014, 13:30 PST –  Rouchon Industries Inc., d/b/a/ Swiftech® today announced the release of their new Apogee™ XL flagship waterblock. The XL promises enhanced thermal and hydraulic performance compared to its long line of award winning predecessors, and it ships with 4 interchangeable color plates to allow modders to match the block lighting to that of their custom build, a welcome feature for all enthusiast builders. The Apogee™ XL is compatible with all current Intel® and AMD® desktop processors, and ships with installation hardware for both. Legacy Intel® processors compatible with socket 775 and 1366 are also supported in option.  “The Apogee™ XL is manufactured in high volume since it will also be at the core of the upcoming and highly anticipated H220-X CPU cooling kit, and because of these economies of scale, we are able to offer it for sale at a very reasonable $64.95 MSRP”,  said Gabriel Rouchon, Swiftech’s chairman and CEO.

The product is now shipping to Swiftech® Channel partners worldwide.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880 Specs Revealed today by website Tyden.cz. For NVIDIA fans waiting to see what their favorite green team is up to it seems the cat has been let out of the bag and the first specs (Albeit Rumored) have arrived on the net in a timely fashion. This new card will feature Maxwell architecture and will feature SMM (Streaming Multiprocessor Maxwell) SIMD designs, which were introduced in the TX 750 Ti that made its debut a few weeks back now. Although only a rumor at this time this story is floating around the web.

The new GPU core is called the GM 204 and should be able to put a wallop on the GK110 as newer technology usually wins the performance war. Obviously we will see more of just about everything, more CUDA, more memory, TMUs, ROPs etc and maybe more. NVIDIA will most likely start off at the lower end and slowly push their way into the higher-end more expensive type cards. For now this is what we have seen and the supposed specs are listed below. This information is not directly from NVIDIA corporate so there may be some changes in the final specs, but for now at least it seems the new 8 series is coming very soon.

 

  • 20 nm GM204 silicon
  • 7.9 billion transistors
  • 3,200 CUDA cores
  • 200 TMUs
  • 32 ROPs
  • 5.7 TFLOP/s single-precision floating-point throughput
  • 256-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface
  • 4 GB standard memory amount
  • 238 GB/s memory bandwidth
  • Clock speeds of 900 MHz core, 950 MHz GPU Boost
  • 7.40 GHz memory
  • 230W Minimum Power

NVIDIA Debuts GeForce Experience 2.0: What’s New? (Features Overview) http://www.techoftomorrow.com/2014/pc/nvidia-debuts-geforce-experience-2-0/ http://www.techoftomorrow.com/2014/pc/nvidia-debuts-geforce-experience-2-0/#comments Mon, 07 Apr 2014 09:59:32 +0000 http://www.techoftomorrow.com/?p=9779 NVIDIA Debuts GeForce Experience 2.0 on Monday April 7th.

NVIDIA Debuts GeForce Experience 2.0 on Monday April 7th. Its early Monday morning and we are happy to announce the latest release of NVIDIA’s control center for gaming, other wise known by the moniker GeForce Experience 2.0. 2.0 really brings a lot of new things to the portable gaming world and gamers who find themselves doing a lot of laptop gaming will now be able to do a multitude things previously only available to the desktop.

Since its first iteration in May of 2013 the GeForce Experience has been a growing entity that seems to be getting better step by step. When version 1.0 was released there were 80 game titles available and an almost overnight 1 million installs of the software GUI.

Screenshot 2014-04-07 01.58.40

By October NVIDIA had implemented SHADOWPLAY, where users could now capture their game playing footage much better than FRAPS, and GAMESTREAM allowing users to play 100 games by way of their SHEILD through the NVIDIA cloud.

Screenshot 2014-04-07 02.29.42

By November Adjustable OPS was announced and now 120 game titles were supported with 18M installs. For Christmas NVIDIA let loose they’re TWITCH Broadcast option allowing users to “Live” broadcast their gaming so they could now show off their mad skills to the world. At this point there were also 130 games titles supported and 24 million people had jumped on GeForce Experience bandwagon. TWITCH has become a very popular way for people to share and NVIDIA was smart to add this into their feature set.

Screenshot 2014-04-07 02.30.15

Today NVIDIA announces 4 new things with the release of GeForce Experience 2.0 and many of them seem to be focused on the laptop and mobile sector, but not there are also a few new cool things all around with 2.0. SHADOWPLAY on Notebooks, GAMESTREAM on Notebooks, Battery Boost, and Desktop Capture are all new things that are being introduced today by team green. With this release also comes a brand new DX 12 capable driver the new 337.50, which replaces the 335.23 driver offering substantial performance gains and better overall performance than MANTLE can currently muster.

Screenshot 2014-04-07 02.11.17

Now you will be able to have all of your games on your laptop optimized for not only better playing, but also 2X longer gaming times. This will run automatically in the background with very little system resources being used. NIDIA’s Battery Boost is a step in the right direction for laptop gaming as there is a huge divide between desktop and laptop GPU/CPU power and now with GeForce Experience 2.0 your games will automatically be set to what is best for your system. You will also now be able to capture and broadcast all of your games from your laptop as well as stream all of your titles to the NVIDIA SHEILD via GAMESTREAM.

Screenshot 2014-04-07 02.11.35

 

Screenshot 2014-04-07 02.10.23

Full Desktop Capture is another feature of 2.0 and will now allow users to capture images from your desktop. This new feature will be used for capturing Windowed and Borderless Windowed Games in both DirectX and OpenGL games. This is something that is currently only for the desktop and one of the features not having to do with the mobile market, yet. Another desktop feature is custom encoding and new broadcast options. You can now create a custom output resolutions as well as custom Bit Rate and Framerates, Auto-pause using the Alt-Tab keys, broadcast at 60 FPS and 2.0 now allows Auto Game Naming.  All in all you can see NVIDIA wants to make your gaming environment even better and easier than ever with GeForce Experience 2.0 and it will be available for download by the time you are reading this at 6AM PST. If you are an NVIDIA fan it has never been easier to keep your games up to date, configured for there best playing options and with the latest drivers always installed. Are you Experienced? If you have a new NVIDIA card and are not using the GeForce Experience you are seriously missing out on something cool from team green. Thanks for reading Tech Of Tomorrow where we have a comparison of the older 335.23 driver against the new 337.50, and the results are very nice so check out the site later today for that article.

In just a week’s time AMD’s new dual-GPU card is expected to arrive on the market, but a recent leak has given us a bit of insight as to what to expect before the NDA lifts and a torrent of official information releases.

The official name for the card looks to be the R9 295X2, featuring two Hawaii XT GPUs and 8GB of memory. It’s reported that the card will take somewhere around 500W of power, and will make use of a hybrid cooling solution in which the Hawaii cores will use closed-loop liquid cooling with the rest of the card just using air. Lastly it looks as though the card will have at least five output options including one DVI-D port and 4 mini-DisplayPorts to support multiple screen setups, 4k, and potentially even 8k displays.

The announcement and release of this card is AMD’s response to the super high priced $3,000 Nvidia Titan Z, also featuring a dual-GPU setup. With less memory and most likely a bit less power in comparison, the R9 295X2 will most likely serve as a more affordable, albeit still really expensive card. A number of reviewers have apparently received briefcases said to contain the new card, but no more information than that is going to get out until the NDA lifts with the card’s assumed release date of a week from today, April 8th.

Those of you who’ve been stuck waiting for Battlefield 4’s next DLC to arrive on PC can finally get your hands on it.

The Naval Strike pack was originally meant to come out last week, and did on PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, and Xbox One; but due to other recent patches having just come out for PC, DICE decided it would be best to wait a bit for release as there were potential stability issues on mid to high range PC builds.

This is the third of five planned DLC packs to come out for Battlefield 4, and as the name implies it adds a lot of content for more sea based combat. In total it adds four new maps, five weapons, two gadgets, a hovercraft vehicle, and the new Carrier Assault Mode.

This is a variant mode of domination and is based on the Titan mode from Battlefield 2142, in which players compete to capture points that activate rocket launchers set to destroy the opposing team’s carrier. Those of you with season passes can download it now, while the rest of you buying in installments will have to wait two more weeks before being able to buy it.

Palit has just announced their brand new GTX 780 JetStream video card which packs a monstrous 6GB of GDDR5 memory.

While the design of the card hasn’t changed, it still looks damn sweet and features up to a 902 MHz core clock with a 6 GHz memory clock. As noted from their marketing picture below, Palit is gearing this 6GB version towards 4K gaming which is where the extra memory would come in handy.

It should also be noted as well that the GTX 780 by itself is a pretty solid over-clocker so combined with Palit’s triple fan cooling should equal some pretty solid performance. We think this looks like it should be a solid card but let us know what you think with a comment below!

Facebook’s announcement yesterday regarding their acquisition of Oculus VR Technologies has made some waves with a lot of the early adopters and fans of the company, with several investors and pre-orders backing out including some higher profile people like Minecraft Creator Markus Persson.

Shortly after the announcement Persson took the not so subtle approach of announcing his change of heart via twitter, writing “We were in talks about maybe bringing a version of Minecraft to Oculus. I just cancelled that deal. Facebook creeps me out.” Persson went on to write a more complete blog post on the subject, with no hard feelings regarding the acquisition as he understands it’s simply business, but as a result he’s chosen to cut ties based on Facebook’s past as a platform.

Persson is not alone in his sentiment, as Facebooks $2 billion purchase of the VR technology has angered or disenfranchised a great number of fans. Interest in the group started via kickstarter with a heavy emphasis on the Rift’s applications as a gaming device and interface tool, and while Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg has not stated any plans to change the development team’s goals and strategies, he has been vocal regarding his hopes for the technology’s applications in social media. Everything regarding the future of Oculus is at this point speculation, but it’s safe to say that much of that speculation has become negative, or at least many are worried that the device will no longer be heading in the direction it once was. Make sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments, how this acquisition will shape the Oculus Rift’s future, and whether or not it will end up still accomplishing it’s original vision.

If you’re a fan of snow white electronics or maybe just collectables, a very rare employee edition Xbox One has surfaced on eBay with a cool asking price of $1,800.

We gotta admit, it does look pretty damn clean. I don’t think we’d pay $2,000 for it but if Microsoft released a retail version of this, we’d be all over it. Regardless, if you have some cash to burn and are into that sorta thing, it is pretty sexy.

The unit reads “I made this, Launch Team 2013″ and comes with a special thank you card from Microsoft Xbox One management. Interestingly enough, the controller is not white but just the standard black edition one. Not sure if that would bug anyone’s OCD? The seller also notes that he’s removed the Day-One patch so it works right out of the box and does not need the internet to connect.

So what do you guys think of this limited edition Xbox One? Would anyone pay the asking price? and should this employee be selling it or keeping it?
