    New Titan X announced, 12GB GDDR5X, $1200

    I don't think it is not yields but business calculation. There should be coming yet an 'ultimate' Titan XXL with HBM2 memory and chip having slightlly more SMs than the Titan X which will help in product differentiation and justify terrifying price.

    New Titan X announced, 12GB GDDR5X, $1200

    To me it has something to do with the loads and heat dissipation. P100 has lots of FP units and its TDP is 300 W for its die size and maximum load. TX has graphics computing units, has higher clock and TDP of 250 W achieved already at smaller die size. Since one can not have TDP more than...

    So, be honest, does the resolution bother you?

    Just wonder if the Xperia Z5 Premium would fit into one of those VR enclosures where smartphone can be put? I have Glyph, picture is absolutely perfect but FOV is limited and there are some ergonomic issues with it. To my mind, the best for VR would be miniature OLED displays like the ones used...

    What is the exact width/height of pure display area?

    Thanks for the code. Not that I would not be able calculate this, I would ;), but I thought there might be a ready table somewhere. BTW, there is a convenient shortcut for calculating the width of the display which comes from a very good approximation to the equation (16x)^2 + (9x)^2 =...

    What is the exact width/height of pure display area?

    Is there anywhere a table from which one can read precise dimensions in mm of the display area for different sizes? Like for 5.0", 5".1, 5.2".....6.0", 6.1", 6.2" etc. I am trying to figure out what would be the size of smartphones assuming no display borders and very thin bezel and comparing...

    32 bit processor vs 64 bit processor

    Expanding the scope: Will there every be processors wider than 64-bit., e.g. 128-bit and corresponding 128-bit operating systems? This of course would not be related to the addressable memory space as 64-bit is more than enough but rather to the width of data fetched and processed simultaneously.

    Best current TIM?

    Maybe there are nonoorganic TIMs ???

    Best current TIM?

    Are there oils which do not degrade with time? Are there TIMs not containing degradable oils?

    Best current TIM?

    True, it might be the TIM longevity is non-issue but people are reporting problems and some are doing repasting yearly or so. Fact is it is very difficult to collect reliable information on this.

    Best current TIM?

    Top TIMs are so close to each other that major question is which has best long-term stability. Kryonaut would be finest but its stability is not known yet.

    DisplayPort 1.4 Can Drive 8K Monitors Over USB Type-C

    To make the story short VESA compression standard principle is described here, see Fig.1. Details are in the standard document costing money but what is said in the document above Fig. 1 is that algorithm requires single line of pixel storage and a rate buffer. This, plus some other details...

    Who's Ready for VR?

    I think it would be better for you not to try Glyph to avoid big disappointment :notworthy:. Glyph is NOT a VR device, it is a personal media player. Think about its viewing scenario as watching 60" TV in dark room from typical living room distance. Morever, Glyph is made by a startup funded by...

    Who's Ready for VR?

    I am waiting for my kickstarted Glyph with clear understanding this is NOT a VR device and not a competitor to OR. I treat it as an experimental media player and I am interested in the potential of retinal projection. Reported picture quality of Glyph is very good though there were some...

    Why nvidia won't release dual GPU cards?

    There is very good reason to think there will be dual GPU Pascal cards. Nvidia has to make such cards for professional applications which are insatiable for computing power and Pascal has exquisite support for all kind of floating point arithmetics. A dual GPU Pascl card will have 8 Teraflops of...

    DisplayPort 1.4 Can Drive 8K Monitors Over USB Type-C

    Note lossless compression step is part of every compression in use. Sure lossless compression assumption is that bit patterns are not equally probable and in this sense it fails for pure noise and the like signals. Now tell me who is watching pure noise :wtf:?. For video signals with big...
