Nvidia officially announces the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

Nvidia revealed the RTX 4070 Ti as the newest GPU for its RTX 40 series as part of its GeForce Beyond stream at CES 2023.

The RTX 4070 Ti graphics cards, which use Nvidia’s new Ada Lovelace architecture, are intended to replace the RTX 3090 Ti graphics cards with better performance and DLSS 3 capabilities. The RTX 4070 Ti, according to Nvidia, will perform up to three times better than the RTX 3090 Ti, the previous RTX 30 flagship.

After the RTX 4090 and two variations of the RTX 4080, one with 16GB of memory and the other with 12GB of memory, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the fourth card to be unveiled for the RTX 40 series. Nvidia “unlaunched” the 12GB GPU prior to its scheduled release date of November 16. Due to a contentious connector cable that has melted for some customers, the RTX 40 series has also attracted as much notice as the current flagship GPU, the RTX 4090.

The RTX 4070 Ti will cost $799 at retail and is scheduled to go on sale tomorrow January 5th.

Remember Thinking With Portal?

November 5, 2022 /

The most talked-about technological development in recent years in the gaming industry is ray tracing. The main selling point for Nvidia’s 20/30 and 40-series graphics cards is their RTX capabilities, which players are clamouring for in free updates to their favourite games. Ray tracing may provide unequalled quality in realistic lighting, shadows thrown in real-time, and exact reflections when used properly.

What games make the best use of ray tracing then? There are several excellent new game titles that make good use of this technology however if you want to be persuaded by its strength before buying a high-end RTX card or Laptop, one game that will be highly playable on even the entry-level RTX-50 line is Portal with RTX which is coming this month as a free download for existing and new Portal owners.

Although not as complex and immersive as the seminal Portal 2 with the ‘Perpetual Testing Initiative’’ DLC which is regarded by anybody that has clocked Portal 2 as Hell, Limbo or both places combined with its infinite amount of chambers/maps to play. Portal 1 is still an amazing experience and for anybody that has an RTX Windows PC, the new update that has been made possible with Nvidia Remix is an essential download for November/December

Nvidia Announces the RTX 4000 series GPUs

September 26, 2022 /

The most anticipated Nvidia graphics card lineup has finally been announced. This is following through on many months of leaks and rumours. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 and GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards have finally been formally introduced by the firm after Nvidia previously stated that the eagerly anticipated lineup would be showcased at GTC 2022.

This update includes improvements for Nvidia RTX, AI, and Omniverse with new chips to power them. RacerX, a simulation engine that runs on a single GPU and has no baked-in features, is shown off in the stunning RTX Racer demo.

Nvidia revealed the Ada Lovelace architecture as predicted. It contains 76 billion transistors and Micron GDDR6X memory using the TSMC 4N technology.

In order to optimise RT computation, it has also included a new streaming multiprocessor with shader execution reordering. with performance improvements of 2-3 times. The 4080 and 4090 both aspire to outperform the 3090 Ti by a factor of two.

Along with the new GPUs, Nvidia now includes DLSS 3. It creates new frames instead of just pixels, meshing the successive frames to enhance their appearance. By easing the load, this seeks to avoid any CPU bottlenecks. With the excellent but GPU-hogging Cyberpunk 2077 showcased, we were shown an improvement from 20–30 frames per second to 90 FPS.

The RTX 4090 will be available on October 12, 2022, starting at around $1,599.

Nvidia China Ai Chip Ban

September 2, 2022 /

As the tech crackdown deepens, the US prohibits the sale of specific AI processors to China.

Nvidia, a company that designs computer chips, claimed that US officials ordered it to cease shipping two of the best computing chips for artificial intelligence work to China. This action might seriously impair Chinese companies’ capacity to perform complex tasks like image recognition.

The business stated on Wednesday that the prohibition, which affects its A100 and H100 chips made to accelerate machine learning activities, could prevent the development of the H100, the company’s flagship chip unveiled this year, from being completed.

The new rule “will address the possibility that the covered items may be employed in, or diverted to, ‘military end use’ or a ‘military end user’ in China,” according to Nvidia, which claimed to have heard this from US officials.

The announcement denotes a significant uptick in the US’s campaign against China’s technological might as tensions over Taiwan’s future, where Nvidia and nearly all other big semiconductor companies source their chips, rise.

A representative for rival AMD told Reuters that the company had received additional license requirements that would prevent the export of its MI250 artificial intelligence processors to China, but that it does not anticipate any impact on its MI100 chips.

Chinese organisations won’t be able to efficiently do the kind of advanced computation needed for image and speech recognition, among many other jobs, without American chips from companies like Nvidia and AMD.

The Future & Quantum Computing

August 4, 2022 /

Nvidia recently announced the Hybrid Quantum-Classical Computing Platform also known as QODA. The future of computing is here. A new system called quantum computing is about to revolutionize the way we think about computers. For the first time ever, quantum computing will use the very quantum physics that the system is built on to outperform traditional computing. Learn about the basics of quantum computing and the possible impacts it will have on the future of computing.

What is quantum computing?


Quantum computing is a term used to describe a new computing device that uses quantum mechanics to perform computations. It is seen as a potential future solution to the problems that are currently not possible to solve with traditional or classical computers. The potential of quantum computing is so great that it has been called the “next step in computing.”

What are the benefits of quantum computing?


Quantum computing is an upcoming technology that will change the way we use computers. The benefits of this technology are the ability to process large amounts of information in a much shorter time frame. It will also enable us to use more complex algorithms, which is why it is being used in the fields of science, healthcare, and finance. Some of the most important benefits of quantum computing include the ability to process more complex algorithms and the ability to process large amounts of information.


What are the possible impacts of quantum computing?


Quantum computing is the next big thing in computing. It is a type of computing that is based on the principles of quantum physics. Quantum computing will be able to solve problems that are not possible with traditional computers. This is due to the fact that quantum computing is able to use quantum bits or qubits. They are able to solve problems that are not possible with traditional bits. This is due to the fact that a quantum bit can be in many places at once.


The future of quantum computing is not yet set in stone. There are a lot of possibilities. One of the ways that quantum computing is set to change the world is with the ability to work with large amounts of data. Another way that quantum computing is going to change our world is with the ability to predict the future by using information from the past. With the ability to predict the future, there will be a lot less uncertainty in our lives and new ways of living there is no doubt that quantum computing will radically change the Earth and impact the lives of everybody on the planet over the next decade.
