NVIDIA RTX 2060 READY TO REDEFINE 1080P GAMING



It’s an announcement we all knew was coming, but it’s still caused a major stir amongst the gaming community – NVIDIA has released the RTX 2060 graphics card.

The RTX 2060 is the successor to the hugely successful GTX 1060 – and it’s brilliant.

Packed with 6GB of the latest 14Gbps GDDR6 video memory and 50 per cent more CUDA cores (1,920) than the GTX 1060, this is a mid-range graphics card which obliterates its predecessor, and many of its competitors.

The NVIDIA GTX 1060 was designed for 1080p gaming and could cope with some games at 1450p. But the RTX 2060 is 60 per cent faster and has taken things to the next level when it comes to high-frame rate Full HD gaming, delivering excellent 1440p results with frame rates well in excess of 60fps.

It’s even capable of dealing with the demands of 4K gaming, with roughly 30fps in independent benchmarks.

In fact, the only graphics cards to come close to the RTX 2060’s performance are those which are substantially more expensive.

The RTX 2060 features the same AI and ray tracing technology as the RTX 2080 Ti, 2080 and 2070.
All of this translates to great gaming experience.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang was extremely bullish during the company’s CES 2019 keynote, where it was revealed a Battlefield V ray-tracing demo in the background wasn’t running on one of NVIDIA’s existing cards but on the new budget option.

“For tens of millions of gamers everywhere, next-gen gaming starts today,” he said. “We have redefined mobile gaming. This is twice the performance of a PlayStation Pro.

“Desktop gamers are demanding, and the RTX 2060 sets a new standard — an unbeatable price, extraordinary performance and real-time ray tracing that blurs the distinction between movies and games. This is a great moment for gamers and our industry.”

The RTX 2060’s real-time ray-tracing technology enables some amazingly realistic effects like pixel shading, depth of field and tessellation. Visitors to CES 2019 were treated to incredible reflections on cars in Battlefield V. Many games don’t take advantage of these capabilities yet – but that will come.
Huang said: “If we capture the geometry, shadows just appear. Just like in the real world. It just works. No faking is necessary. That’s the beauty of ray tracing.”

The GeForce RTX 2060 will be available from January 15th. Click here for more information: https://www.box.co.uk/rtx2060

Where to Buy Lite Hash Rate GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, 3070 and 3080 Graphics Cards

Image
While many of us rely on graphics cards to enjoy the latest gaming titles or to upgrade our PCs, their intelligent technology makes them ideal for alternative uses. NVIDIA GPUs are programmable, meaning they can be used for a range of activities from gene sequencing and weather simulation to mining cryptocurrency. Passionate about gaming, NVIDIA strives to find ways to ensure their GPUs " end up in the hands of gamers ", so we can experience cutting-edge technologies such as RTX real-time ray tracing as they were meant to be. What is Lite Hash Rate? Following the announcement in February that NVIDIA were reducing the Ethereum hash rate in all of their GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards, they have now taken additional measures by applying a reduced hash rate to their new GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti ranges. "Lite Hash Rate" or "LHR" for short, is the term given to these new GPUs, which contain a reduced hash rate making them perfect for gaming ...

Encrypted Data Storage vs Traditional Data Storage

Image
If you run a business, you may have large amounts of important data and files that need to be kept secure and confidential. So what’s the best way to keep this data safe? You need secure storage devices! A recent survey conducted by iStorage Ltd, found that some businesses may be at risk, with two thirds of data being stored on unencrypted storage devices. iStorage Ltd is an award-winning company and trusted global leader in PIN-authenticated, hardware-encrypted data storage and cloud encryption devices. Their research into data security found that 99% of people consider data security to be a necessary practice, but only 5% are following advice from the National Cyber Security Centre on data storage and backup. Not storing and backing up data with secure methods is causing a vast majority of data, and the businesses storing this data, to become vulnerable. Because of this, it's important to let businesses know about the importance of using encrypted storage methods, over tradit...
