NVIDIA RTX 3080 review: A huge leap for 4K gaming with raytracing

[ad_1] The 3080 Founders Edition card we reviewed isn’t much bigger than the 2080 Ti. It has a sleek, almost office-professional aesthetic that’s a nice contrast to the gaudy third-party cards we’ll inevitably see. The cooling is also dramatically different: NVIDIA made the PCB more dense to fit a fan that blows air directly through […]

Final Cut Pro X gets a speed boost through Apple’s Metal

[ad_1] On the new Mac Pro, the updated Final Cut Pro X offers support for multiple GPUs and up to 28 CPU cores. Apple says that translates to rendering that’s up to 2.9 times faster and transcoding that’s up to 3.2 times faster than on the previous-generation 12-core Mac Pro. With the Pro Display XDR, […]

NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super and 2070 Super review

[ad_1] What makes them special? As we explained when they were announced, the RTX Super cards are basically souped-up versions of NVIDIA’s existing lineup. They’re taking the place of the faster “Ti” cards we’re used to seeing from the company (though, confusingly enough, the 2080 Ti is sticking around as the king of the RTX […]

AMD brings the fight back to NVIDIA

[ad_1] What matters most, of course, is what’s under the hood: AMD’s RDNA architecture, previously known to enthusiasts as “Navi.” The Radeon 5700 and 5700 XT are built on a 7 nanometer process, which makes them more efficient than the 14nm Vega. This isn’t a first for AMD — the beefy Radeon VII, which remains […]

AMD’s first Navi GPUs are the Radeon RX 5000-series

[ad_1] Unfortunately, AMD is waiting until E3 to divulge specifics on these next-generation RDNA cards. For now, the company says we can expect 25 percent better performance-per-clock and 50 percent faster performance per watt with the new architecture, compared to its older Graphics Core Next technology. In addition to being the first 7nm consumer video […]

Toyota will be first to use NVIDIA’s self-driving simulator

[ad_1] Toyota’s Research Institute-Advanced Development (TRI-AD) will be the first customer for Drive Constellation. The automaker is already using the NVIDIA Drive AGX Xavier computer (below) to power self-driving vehicle testing in the real world, and will assist NVIDIA in developing its simulation and self-driving tech. The system consists of two distinct cloud-powered solutions. The […]
