Nvidia VGX platform, that aims at securing virtualization facilities in any PC system, was introduced by the company not so long ago. But this is not the only surprise from the manufacturer, as yesterday it introduced a new cloud GPU solution, a pioneer in graphics industry. Those GPUs are developed on Kepler architecture and are targeted mainly at the employment with GPU-VDI facilities. The launch of such cloud solutions will facilitate GPU virtualization in various environments.




A new series of graphics processing units feature a dedicated hardware template, known as VGX MMU (memory management unit). This is a truly unique technology which allows the Nvidia VGX hypervisor to provide for simultaneous GPU employment by a few clients; at the same time, it ensures consecutive performance, compatibility of various applications, low-latency remote display, and stability of operation. Moreover, Kepler architecture consists of a high-performance encoding facility (H.264) that is …

Dutch manufacturer of discrete graphics Point of View considered as a good idea to equip one of the top-end versions GeForce GTX 680 with the prefix UltraCharged with four gigabytes of memory. This graphic card can be a good alternative to existing POV / TGT GTX 680 UltraCharged with 2GB buffer.



The new model, as well as it «precursor», is using the reference design PCB Nvidia with the configuration of additional power connectors PCI-E Power (6 +8)-pin. Typically, the PCB for GeForce GTX 680 is equipped with only four power phases for the GPU, but the version of the UltraCharged Point of View / TGT the fifth one added.


The frequencies remained the same: 1111 MHz for the graphics core (1176 MHz in turbo mode) and 6008 MHz for the 4 GB of memory GDDR5. Under three-slot cooling system, there is GK104 chip in the composition of 1536 shaders and 256-bit memory bus. Point of View marketers emphasize that the graphics processor for the graphics cards GTX 680 UltraCharged …

Titan has introduced a revolutionary, in some way, fan that can be employed for multiple purposes. Except for being a part of cooling system involved in PC enclosure, Cloud Fan can also be utilized as a cooling means in offices, vehicles or at home. The compatibility with the majority of fixtures becomes possible due to the implementation of 1/4-inch perforations. The connection to the power supply is realized by means of three-contact socket.



The casing of Cloud Fan is made of white plastic, and the series counts up two models. One model goes with 140 mm dimensions, while the other – with 120 mm. The major attractive feature of both models is that they are predestined for approximately sixty thousand hours of fail-proof operation. Such peculiarity might attract people willing to get simultaneously an efficient and comprehensive cooling solution.


The 120 mm fan is able to show up to 2200 rpm; the level of noise does not exceed 35 dB. The 140 mm model demonstrates a bit …
