NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 Basic information known

AMD has with its AMD Radeon HD 6990 in the dual-GPU graphics business already submitted. According to rumors, NVIDIA is on 22 March follow and AMD GeForce GTX 590 with two GPUs introduce his. So far, the scene credited with the fact that NVIDIA will set out everything you need in dual-GPU area the performance crown to get back. Now we have the clock speeds of the GeForce GTX 590 and therefore it could betray the race most closely be.

For internal groups, we learned that NVIDIA's flagship GPU's with 607 MHz clocks new and derived therefrom, the shader processors with 1214 MHz. The memory however is clocked at 850 MHz and base are just two full-fledged GeForce GTX 580 GPUs are used.

The GeForce GTX 580 GPU and memory clocks but with 772 or 1000 MHz - NVIDIA had to make significant cuts in the memory clock, which is probably the power consumption due. A GeForce GTX 580 has an 8-pin and a 6-pin power connector according to the manufacturer with a maximum power of 244 watts under games. The GTX 590 is equipped with two 8-pin power connectors and is designed officially to a maximum of 375 watts with PCI Express specification. Right here is likely to test for the engineers located, not to exceed the power consumption.

As we have seen further, it is NVIDIA GPUs already selected the maximum voltage under load have the respect. Asked that the voltage 0.96 volts maximum. A GeForce GTX 570 in our test 1.0 volts under load, the GTX 580 even up to 1.06 volts measured with. This selection should yield strong limit and only a few tickets for the market per month, will enable it. From other side, but we have learned that the first cards for sale even at major distributors and online retailers are to be received.

What now for these clock speeds mean performance? Purely mathematical situation is expected to lower clock speeds in an approximately 15 percent low performance impact, possibly even more. And this should be confirmed in the practice, it should be very closely with the target set, the Radeon HD 6990's current performance crown wrest back.

FrenchLeaks the Wikileaks to Mediapart

At its output, Wikileaks has the effect of a bombshell on the web. We can not count the number of reactions and controversies that have swollen and worldwide. But besides this, the famous site has also opened a new path and raised a number of vocations. Proof of this is to celebrate its third anniversary, Mediapart decided to try their luck and publish, in turn, sensitive documents. Even as this project has a name, FrenchLeaks , and its gates have just opened.

And that risk again to do a lot of noise. Note however that the approach of journalists Mediapart has little to do with Wikileaks. In reality, what we found on FrenchLeaks, these are all the documents that were the subject of investigations by journalists of Mediapart. But be careful because the site goes a step further by allowing any user to submit documents in turn. However, before being published, they will be investigated and will be analyzed in depth to ensure their integrity. Logic.

Currently, it is not less than eight files that can be found on FrenchLeaks. Various records, varied and relevant to both the case that Bettencourt Karachi on the case, not to mention the financial crisis of the savings banks or the dark side of empire Bolloré. Then just click on the folder of his choice to view the list of documents it contains. These can be of various natures, in the case of the case may be Bettencourt and find and listen to audio recordings of Patrice de Maistre. Very impressive.

However, what is clear is that the analysis of journalists Mediapart are not available on FrenchLeaks . Which is pretty consistent since the articles published by the newspaper are all pay and the need to s to pay a subscription to access their content. That said, the good side of it is that this approach will help you make your own mind on various issues raised.

There obviously remains the question of anonymity. Mediapart journalists said they would do everything in their power to protect their sources and identities of people who communicate on FrenchLeaks documents. However, no system IT is 100% reliable and if you want to participate in this adventure, it's still better to hide your tracks and send your documents and from an Internet cafe. And preferably in another city than yours, anyway.

The new Apple tablet has a package screen / touch screen finer than 25% from the first model and the site finally confirms that the iPad 2 contains 512 MB of RAM though and a few components signed Broadcom, Texas Instruments and ST Micro.
