WHAT DOES NVIDIA RTX GRAPHICS BRINGS TO THE TABLE? ARE THEY WORTH IT?

-

Nvidia recently announced it's new graphics card lineup called the RTX in Gamescom Germany 2018. Nvidia is changing the way graphics work in a video game by introducing 'Real Time Ray Tracing Effect'. But most people don't know what Ray Tracing actually is. 
Let me explain:

Thanks to Nvidia's new turing architecture. Ray tracing is a new and advanced technology that helps the video game developers to make a more realistic game by adding the perfect lighting effect. They have been testing this for the past 10-15 years. 
This changes the way we play games. Game developers have been adding artificial lighting for the longest time in the games to give somewhat realistic effect, but with help of RTX, they can now do it naturally like Nvidia showed an example during their presentation.

As from the above video demonstrated during the event, we can see how much improvement is present for light tracking, and how light is being reflected off the stormtroopers. Many more examples were also shown by Nvidia, my personal favorite was in Battlefield 5 that gives a realistic light effect in the eye of a character. 




Nvidia claims that these new graphics cards will give 6 times better performance compared to the last generation of graphics card. The pricing of the card has also been revealed with RTX 2070 for $499, RTX 2080 for $699, RTX 2080ti for $999 and RTX 2080ti founder's edition for $1199. They will be available to everyone on September 20th, 2018 from all the providers like ASUS, EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI, PNY, and Zotac.

Nvidia says that the RTX 2080ti is designed for overclocking and is clocked at 1350MHz with 4352 CUDA cores and 11GB of GDDR6 RAM. RTX 2070 is designed to offer more performance than the Titan XP card and is clocked at 1410MHz with 2304 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 RAM. 


While Nvidia is claiming to give 6 times more performance than that compared to the GTX series of Graphics. The company is attempting to redefine performance comparisons that are limited to how well the new cards perform. Nvidia doesn’t even list the traditional floating point operations per second (known as teraflops) and has opted to hype two new performance capabilities.

Still, more time should be spent with these new graphics cards to get to a final conclusion. Benchmarks and real-life gaming comparisons have to be done. Even though Nvidia is claiming that over 21 games till now will take advantage of the new Ray-Tracing Technology.

FORTNITE REVIEW!!!!!

B attle Royale Games have taken over the gaming industry with PUBG (PLAYERS UNKNOWN BATTLE GROUNDS) starting the concept early last year. Fortnite was started as a single player story game, but didn't get the same amount of popularity as expected by Epic Games. Thus, deciding that they would also start a free to play Battle Royale game. Fortnite is by far the most popular game Battle Royale game on all platforms i.e. Xbox,Playstation,IOS and is coming soon to android as well. Because of its free to play aspect many people prefer it over PUBG. Most of YouTube as well as Twitch is filled with Fortnite. People enjoy this game mainly because of its emotes and building mechanism. Building changes the course of the game, people build huge bases to protect themselves, there are 4 options to choose from i.e. Walls, Floor, Stairs and Pyramids. There are also 3 types of materials that can be used to build these objects Wood,Brick and Metal. Wood is weak but

ASSASSINS CREED ORIGINS REVIEW!!!

Assassin's Creed Origins, the latest of the Assassin's Creed game series released on October 27, 2017. In a short context I can confess that I am absolutely in love with this game, a new concept from the older games, new game mechanics design, etc, so in short, pretty much I can say its amazing but with a few flaws. In the latest installment of the series, you explore the origins of the series of the Assassin's Creed, how it all began. You play as a new character named Bayek and his wife Aya who were the progenitors of the Creed. You play in the lands of Egypt where you explore its many major areas and its famous city of Memphis. This game also includes famous characters from real history like Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. In the usual modern day aspect this time you actually control a new modern day character named Layla Hassan who is an Abstergo employee who is the one exploring the life of the progenitor's of the Assassins. In the long elaboration, what I

MACBOOK AIR VS MACBOOK PRO (2020). WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU BUY?

Apple recently announced its new MacBook Pro which has 2 varients i.e. 2 Thunderbolt and 4 Thunderbolt Model. This comparison is mainly between the Quad-Core MacBook Air and the base model MacBook Pro which is for $1299 and comes with the 8th Generation processor. This does not make much sense, but Apple being Apple still did it as it might satisfy the needs of those people who occasionally edit content, but mostly search the web or consume content for which the MacBook Air lacks a few things. DESIGN: The build quality of each and every MacBook that Apple makes is exceptional no matter the price, Apple provides a full rigid aluminum chassis with absolutely no flex neither on the screen nor on the keyboard deck.  There are only a few minor differences between the two when compared to design i.e. the MacBook Air is lighter than the MacBook Pro, Air has a wedge-shaped design whereas the MacBook Pro does not. Both the laptops have the new Magic Keyboard with the scissor-switch mechanism an
