6/29/2023 0 Comments Geforce gtx titan x fp64This is good for 336.5GB/s of peak memory bandwidth, which is 50% more bandwidth than a GeForce GTX 980 has. NVIDIA opted to go with 12GB of GDDR5 memory that runs at 7010MHz on six 64-bit memory controllers (384-bit bus) to ensure that no one will run out of frame buffer when playing the latest game titles. NVIDIA wanted to create a graphics card that was designed for 4K gaming and wanted to basically max out the performance. The display/video engines remain unchanged from the GM204 GPU used on the GeForce GTX 980 video cards. The NVIDIA GK104 has just 512K and the GM204 used on the GeForce GTX 980 has 2MB. This means that the GeForce GTX Tian X has the ability to do texture filtering 33% faster than the GeForce GTX 980! NVIDIA has been increasing the L2 cache size in recent years and they did so again on the GM200 as it has 3MB of L2 cache. The texture filtering is done by 192 texture units that just happen to have a texture filtering rate of 192 Gigatexls/sec. The 3072 CUDA cores in the Titan X’s GM200 GPU are clocked at 1000MHz/1075MHz. ![]() The Maxwell GM200 uses the same basic SMX design as the other Maxwell GPUs that are already out. Each SMM contains 128 CUDA cores and that is how you end up with an impressive 3072 CUDA cores that handle the pixel, vertex and geometry shading workloads. The GeForce GTX Titan X is powered by the full GM200 Maxwell GPU that has six Graphics Processing Clusters and a total of 24 Streaming Multiprocessor units (SMX). Consumer VR headsets will be coming to market later this year and youll need to have a GPU that can handle whatever is coming. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X supports everything that the GeForce GTX 980 does with more power to handle emerging Virtual Reality (VR) applications. NVIDIA has done a good job at promoting the new features that were launched alongside with Maxwell like Voxel Global Illumination (VXGI, Multi-Frame Sample AA (MFAA), Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) and DirectX 12 API with feature level 12.1 support. Over the past six months the GeForce GTX 980 has dominated the market by simply flat out overpowering the AMD Radeon R9 290X and having an impressive feature set. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X takes over as the flagship card from the GeForce GTX 980 that was introduced in September 2014. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X is priced at $999 and the card is being hard launched today, so if you are reading this on launch morning online retailers like Amazon, Newegg, TigerDirect, NCIX and others should be ready to take your money and to ship you out a GeForce GTX Titan X. NVIDIA calls these users ultra-enthusiast gamers and knows that they are not your typical price conscious consumers. Sure, the 12288MB of GDDR5 memory is overkill even in this day and age of 4K Ultra HD gaming, but for a flagship card who cares, right? The GeForce GTX Titan X was designed for gamers that desire the best card that NVIDIA has to offer regardless of the price to ensure they can game with the image quality settings cranked up no matter the resolution. The end result is what NVIDIA is calling the Worlds fastest GPU and with specifications like that no other single-GPU card on the market will be able to touch this behemoth. The incredible 12GB of GDDR5 memory being used for the frame buffer runs on a 384-bit memory bus and is clocked at 7010MHz. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X uses the big GM200 Maxwell GPU like many thought and has 3072 CUDA cores clocked at 1000MHz for the base clock and 1075MHz on the boost clock. ![]() Weve talked so much about the NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X video card lately that is feels odd to write an introduction for its official reveal, so well just jump right into it. The GeForce GTX Titan X is The Baddest GPU of The Land 6/29/2023 0 Comments Naughty mouse staring at the sunIn some cases, multiple blind spots occur.Ī solar eclipse is not a common event, but when they happen, people are naturally curious and want to experience it. In more serious cases, symptoms might include: Discomfort when looking at bright lights.The damage that can occur as a result of staring at the sun (solar retinopathy) can cause a variety of symptoms. Ultimately, how long it takes for damage to occur depends on several factors, such as the dilation of the pupil and the sun’s intensity on that specific day. Permanent retinal damage can occur when someone looks at the sun for 100 seconds or less. While recovery does occur for some people, it is possible to experience permanent visual acuity deficits. This flood of chemicals can cause tissue damage. It occurs when overstimulated light-sensing retina cells start to release signaling chemicals. At this point, if someone continues to stare at the sun, they can develop solar retinopathy. The eyes can also feel gritty and excessive tearing can occur. With overexposure to UV light, the corneal cells start to crack and blister, much like a regular sunburn. ![]() The ultraviolet light is the most damaging to the eye’s structures. ![]() The sun produces visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light.

These barrels may also have spigots that you can use to fill a watering can with or attach to a hose. Residential rain barrels come in all shapes, sizes and colors and are designed to intercept and store runoff from rooftops. Install a rain barrel to collect and store water during times of surplus rain. Sandy soil is very porous - water will run right through it - amending with compost will make the texture more spongy and water-retentive. Add compost to the soil, which improves its ability to supply your plants with just the right amount of water. Mulching with either weed-barrier fabrics or natural mulch (woodchips, straw, etcetera) prevents water from evaporating and weeds from drinking the water that your garden plants could use. A rapidly changing climate is spurring gardeners to change how and what they grow. Here are a few tips to help your garden thrive in hotter times. Shop for Watering and Irrigation Supplies Conserving Water in the Garden When the seeds are just beginning to germinate, before they have true leaves, you'll want to mist the surface of the grow medium regularly, and once they are more developed, you can bottom water them in a seed tray. Fill the water reservoir before you leave, and water will slowly transfer into the soil over time. For containers and planters, consider moving your plants into a self-watering container. For maximum water conservation (and minimal water loss!), set the timer to water during morning or early evening hours. How can I keep my garden watered while I'm away on vacation?įor raised beds and in-ground gardens, install a programmable timer at your water source, and connect it to a sprinkler, drip, or soaker hose system. Under a long term drought, you may see undersized or shriveled fruit, tough or bitter -tasting harvests, or plants that are just plain dead. Immediate heat stress generally looks like limp leaves and wilting plants. How can I tell if my plants aren't getting enough water? Even if the top inch of soil is dry, the lower soil should be moist. A good way to tell if your garden is lacking moisture is to simply push away any mulch from the soil surface, and then poke your finger down into the soil. Watering needs will vary depending on the type of plant, age of plants (seedlings need water much more frequently than mature perennials), type of soil (sandy soil dries out much faster than heavier soils) and of course, the climate and daily weather.

After watching the film An Affair to Remember, Annie writes a letter suggesting that Sam meet her on top of the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day. One of the listeners is Annie Reed, a Baltimore Sun reporter who is engaged to Walter, but feels there is something missing from their relationship. ![]() Thousands of women from around the country hear the program and are touched by the story and write to Sam. A year later on Christmas Eve, Jonah calls in to a radio talk show and persuades a reluctant Sam to go on the air to talk about how much he misses Maggie. The film is also credited with establishing Ephron as a celebrated romantic comedy filmmaker.Ĭhicago architect Sam Baldwin loses his wife Maggie to cancer, and he and their eight-year-old son Jonah start a new life in Seattle, but they continue to mourn. Several critics and media publications agree that Sleepless in Seattle is one of the greatest romantic comedy films of all-time. The soundtrack was also successful, peaking at number one on the Billboard 200. It was one of the highest-grossing films of 1993, and remains one of the most successful romantic comedies in box office history. Despite competition from several blockbusters released around that same summer, the film was a surprise commercial success, earning $17 million during its opening weekend (the highest opening for a romantic comedy at the time), and ultimately grossing over $227 million worldwide. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards at the 1994 ceremony: Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Song. Sleepless in Seattle was released on June 25, 1993, to positive reviews, receiving praise for Ephron's writing and direction, as well as Hanks and Ryan's performances. Several of its most pivotal scenes were filmed on a former naval base due to the city's lack of sound stages, including a recreation of the Empire State Building's observation deck when the New York skyscraper was not available. The film was shot mostly in Seattle during the summer of 1992. Although both Hanks and Ryan had been favored for the lead roles from the beginning, several other actors expressed interest in both parts, while Hanks often disagreed with Ephron over his character's material. Ward and Ephron were among several writers hired to re-write the script into a funnier film, with Ephron eventually being promoted to director once Nick Castle departed over disagreeing with her comedic approach. Foster strongly believed in the film's potential but struggled to get it made by TriStar Pictures for several years, finding its emotional script promising but unsophisticated. Arch submitted his script to producer Gary Foster in 1990. Several studios rejected his script, deterred by the idea that its main couple does not meet for nearly the entire film. Inspired by the romance film An Affair to Remember (1957), Sleepless in Seattle was conceived as a romantic drama by Arch in 1989. In addition to Bill Pullman, Ross Malinger, and Rob Reiner, the film features an ensemble supporting cast also consisting of Rosie O'Donnell, Gaby Hoffmann, Victor Garber, Rita Wilson, Barbara Garrick, and Carey Lowell. Starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, the film follows a journalist (Ryan) who, despite being newly engaged, becomes enamored with a recently widowed architect (Hanks), when the latter's son calls in to a talk radio program requesting a new partner for his grieving father. Sleepless in Seattle is a 1993 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Nora Ephron, from a screenplay she wrote with David S. |
