VR Edition: two cards with EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti

A video card specification for virtual reality solutions? And 'what we propose with the EVGA GeForce GTX 980Ti own VR Edition, but the name must not deceive us. Each video card with sufficient computing power can drive in an effective way a viewer for virtual reality and from this point of view the new proposal EVGA introduces nothing new. The name VR Edition is referred to some technical solutions implemented on the card, which facilitate the connection with VR viewers.


Two are the peculiarities introduced by EVGA, the first directly on the card: it is a HDMI 2.0 connector located in the back of the card, so that the cable for the display may not be connected outside the system as always happens but directly to the its inside.

This feature taken alone seems more an oddity that a peculiarity, but everything takes on sense with the second accessory: a box for 5-inch slot and 1/4, to be mounted in one of the slots present in their own homes, which provides two USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI 2.0 connector. 5.25 installed video card and box connects the HDMI video connector to the box, so that the connection to the VR viewer does not happen from the back of the case but directly from the front.

EVGA offers two versions of this card: the first is based on reference design NVIDIA, while the second uses a raffreddamneto ACX 2.0+ system internally developed by EVGA. The remaining technical specifications, available in detail on the EVGA site are those of the reference design NVIDIA: of the 1 GHz GPU clock frequency, which climbs up to 1,076 MHz as the value of Turbo Boost, while the 6 Gbytes of GDDR5 video memory they operate with a clock frequency of 7 GHz actual.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

Max Q: Galactic

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Happy Memorial Day everyone. In this issue: Astranis’ novel approach to GEO satellites Virgin Galactic’s return to the skies News from SpaceX, and more Astranis’ novel approach to internet satellites is starting to pay off Astranis , a satellite internet startup based in San Francisco, said Wednesday that its first spacecraft completed a milestone test and will start bringing broadband access to rural Alaskans as soon as mid-June. It’s a major step for the company, which was founded in 2015 by John Gedmark and Ryan McLinko. By taking a first principles approach to satellite development, the pair bet that they could make a smaller, cheaper spacecraft for geosynchronous orbit — the orbit farthest from Earth and arguably the most inhospitable — and use them to bring internet to millions, or even billions, of people around the globe. Their bet is paying off: The company’s first satellite, Arcturus, launched on a Falcon Heavy at the end of April. W...
