ASUS GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II OC graphics card

16.06.2013

At the Computex 2013 international exhibition in Taipei, ASUSTeK Computer for the first time showed the ASUS GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II OC video card based on the GK28 chip created according to 110-nm design standards with 2304 CUDA cores and Kepler architecture. And now more detailed information about the technical characteristics of this original in execution and factory overclocked model has got on the Web.

The novelty is made on an alternative design printed circuit board for the PCI Express 3.0 x16 bus. To increase the overclocking potential, the developers equipped their product with a powerful DIGI + VRM power subsystem, and also applied the ASUS Super Alloy Power concept in production, preferring only high-quality and reliable components. An improved proprietary DirectCU II active air cooling system, covered with a black cover with red accents, is engaged in ensuring optimal temperature conditions.

This dual-slot cooler features a massive aluminum heatsink, multiple 8mm and 10mm thick copper heatpipes that make direct contact with the GPU surface, and two fans, one with CoolTech technology for greater airflow. An additional heat sink plate is fixed on the reverse side of the PCB. The amount of GDDR5 memory on board with a 384-bit interface and a frequency of 6008 MHz is 3072 MB. The base frequency of the graphics core is set at 889 MHz and can dynamically increase up to 2.0 MHz using NVIDIA GPU Boost 941 technology.

The accelerator is compatible with DirectX 11.1 and supports NVIDIA FXAA, NVIDIA TXAA, NVIDIA Adaptive VSync, NVIDIA CUDA, NVIDIA PhysX, NVIDIA SLI, NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround technologies. The rear panel has two DVI connectors, an HDMI port and a DisplayPort output.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Women's brains age more slowly 16.11.2019

American researchers scanned the brains of more than 200 adults, analyzing their metabolic rate, which is known to change with age. As a result, the scientists found that the brains of women were on average three years younger than the brains of men with the same chronological age.

Experts suggest that having a younger brain provides women with some degree of resilience to the changes associated with aging. This, in turn, may help explain why women experience slower cognitive decline with age than men.

In the new study, experts led by Dr. Manu Goyala, assistant professor of radiology at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, scanned the brains of 121 women and 84 men, aged 20 to 82. They then created a machine algorithm based on data about the men's age and their brain metabolism. After that, the scientists entered data about women into the algorithm and programmed it to calculate the "metabolic age" of women. They found that, based on data from men, the algorithm calculated that the "metabolic age" of the women's brains was 3,8 years younger than their chronological age.

For the next step, the scientists created an algorithm based on data from women and programmed it to calculate the "metabolic age" of the men's brains. The algorithm determined that the men's brains were about 2,4 years older than their actual chronological age.

The main source of fuel for the brain is glucose. When people are younger, they release more glucose during a metabolic process called "aerobic glycolysis," which is thought to help brain development and maturation, including brain cell growth. But closer to 60 years, aerobic glycolysis reaches a very low level.

More research is now needed to better understand how the difference in "metabolic age" of the brains of men and women affects the risk of diseases such as Alzheimer's, scientists say.
