GeForce GTX Titan Z The Gaming Beast

Exactly what the gamer's would expect from the giant of the Gaming industry. Another Gaming beast after GeForce GTX 1080. The "Titan Z" the powerful monster that can tackle any powerful curve balls these new gen game's throw but what's makes it so powerful from its adversaries? let see at some of the specs

Titan Z Official Specs

Highlights
Though being one of  the fastest and the biggest cards around. This is one powerful card even if it doesn't match Titan X and the AMD Radeon 295X2 in some aspects.

First and foremost highlight of this beast is the solid 12GB GDDR5 memory that completely obliterates the 8 gig of ram in the X this is a major power that gives the Titan Z edge over others. 12 GB of ram is ridiculously large for a GPU!.

Let's move on to the processing power of the card in that case Titan Z is powerful as well we are talking about the 8.988 Teraflops! which is a  huge jump forward from the 6.144 Teraflops of the Titan X this creates a superiority in 4K HD gaming in the card itself . 

Along with the pixel rate of 106.6 Giga-Pixels as compared to the 96 of that of Titan X also some other features of the card like texture rate, texture mapping, and memory bandwidth are slightly larger than its predecessor the X .

Performance / Benchmarks
Now that we have seen what this card can do in theory now let's how much can it hold itself when we put it in the real world. We are going to cover several key factors of performance in this section.

General Performance in Gameplay
So how did the GTX Titan performed? The answer is obvious it was AWESOME!. it delivered what it was made for 100 fps over hd gameplay at max settings and some over 70 fps for 2560 x 1440 resolution and 50+ fps in the 4K Resolution on the Maximum settings.

Power Consumption
The card takes from roughly 479 to 570 watts in the maximum gameplay and High End Graphics rendering as it takes about 130 to 155 watts on idle.
that may seem like a lot of power but when you compare it to AMD's R9 295X2 the Titan Z is much more power efficient model. While on the average of gaming performance the 295X2 eats up 510 to 659 watts.

Heat Generation 
At the matter of heat the Nvidia is known to be good at these things especially when you consider the fact their cards are generally air cooled models and it also applies on the Z too. The Titan Z manages about 37 to 43 degrees Celsius on idle functioning while it can spike up to 83 to 91 degrees under heavy duress of 4K resolution gaming. but in compared to R9 of AMD with it being liquid cooling system and Titan Z relies on air the Z is less efficient at keeping heat low than its newer Titan X cousin.

Noise Generation
The Z manages to keep its voice down. almost to 35 to 38 decibals and only goes up to 42 to 45 Decibels during heavy gaming. If you are sitting in an empty room the 45 decibels is about as loud as the average background noise in and office but its not too bad for a card with last Year's design
PROS:
  1. One of the three best 4K-Capable GPU'S
  2. Very close to perfection in performance at 4K resolution
  3. Excellent 1440p Performance
  4. Moderate power consumption and noise levels
  5. Powerfull 12GB GDDR5 Ram
CONS:
  1. Aging architecture and processor
  2. Runs a little hot compare to other Nvidia models
  3. Expensive. as relative to performance

Should I buy it?
As many would go for for the R9 and the Titan X I, would personally give this card a fighting chance because it gives the highest processing and texturing power than all of its predecessors and it has a cool design structure known as the "Pascal" structure with some lights and beams in your PC Case this card would look like a beast. the major issue for me is the price. That 3500$ price tag on new is just killing me. if the money is not an issue for you guys I would totally recommend you guys to Buy it.

Torrents. The Pirate Era

In this new age of digital communications one can always exchange information and data easily but is it Legal to do so? 

Since the dawn of time people have exchanging information throughout the world by different methods. Whether in the ancient times it was by writing journals or in this new age where we can share any type of data by just a click of a button literally just a click is all we need.

Dawn of the Pirate Age

Many people might think Hey! the torrent came in 2000′s but that is not entirely true in fact the the pirate age begin way further back then back in the 80′s people shared information through decentralized websites like Usenet and after that the infamous Rise and Fall of the “Napster” one of the biggest music infringement in the history. after that people started to improvise a bit more and started to create some of the Decentralized and anonymous websites.
But Still that was not Enough because the hunger of sharing of information in people was overwhelming and they had to find a new “Anonymous” way of file sharing Hey! We don’t want Uncle Sam to know everything right.
Bram Cohen an American Programmer started working on a new P2P Network Protocol and after his excruciating hard work and lots of Sleepless nights he finally did it. He wrote the first “Bittorrent” Protocol in 2001 and that was it.

The Dawn of the Pirate Age. for a lot of people this was the best thing that happened but some people started to worry. these people were the content providers and the Producers because whenever they made something and released it on the market after a few days it was on some torrent sharing site for “FREE” people who spent night and day creating the best content they could just couldn’t handle it. If i was one of them i would probably feel the same way the thing they most hated was that the couldn’t do a damn thing about it nobody knew who made the sight and who’s uploading the content.
That was the rise of the internet “Pirates” and fall of content providers.

The End Of An Era

Now that we know how the Pirate of this new Digital age came into formation. But the Producers didn’t Hold back either they fought with all their might and landed a “Severe” Blow to the torrent community.
Some weeks back The Torrent GIANT “Kickasstorrents” was taken down when their alleged owner was arrested in Poland. The Big brother though they could kill the snake by cutting of its head. Again they were wrong when the first arrested the owner of “The Pirate Bay” back in 2015 They thought they had done some serious damage but after 7 weeks the pirate bay rose up from the ashes of dead servers and copyright law with the symbol of a “Phoenix” A Symbol of Resurrection. The Producers again were disappointed and started poking the The Big Brothers again to take action about this “Torrent” after kickass was taken down another blow to the torrent community was the Shutdown of the biggest torrent Search engines know as Torrentz was shut down we currently do not know whether it was due to copyright or some other reason we just know they had shutdown with now a beautiful message on thier homepage now.
Torrentz will always love you. Farewell. 
This message broke the hearts of enthusiastic torrent community through out the world and hence marking an “End” of an era.
But Despite these efforts of the Law Enforcement Agencies the torrent community did not lose fight but are still fighting and after just two hours of taking down kickasstorrents its mirrors and clones started to take its place. Well you know What they say.
Cut Off One Head And Two More Shall Take Its Place.

Bitcoin? Is that a Game?!

That is what i though too when i first heard the name “Bitcoins” I thought it would be a good game where you gotta collect some coins for some kind of reward. BUT I too was wrong it wasn’t a game nor it was a cool chatting platform or a investment app.


What is Bitcoin then?

Bitcoin is a currency but unlike a normal currency that is issued by the government and consists of notes and coins it is a digital one Without any physical properties let me give you an insight!
say you want to purchase something on the internet but don’t have a visa card nor do you have a bank account BAM! how are you going to buy that nice T-Shirt you saw on the internet now? 
Do not fear! Bitcoin is here. Because bitcoin exists on the internet it is a P2P i.e a peer-to-peer networked Crypto-Currency you can buy it via cash or a visa card but you won’t get a bank note either But you are going to get it in an wallet like an other currency Bitcoins too are kept in a wallet It can also be Digital like your Personal email account.

Okay now you have got some of the basics down let’s get to some tricky stuff now

If it’s Online cant i get hacked?

Yes! you can but don’t be afraid that’s not the only way you can save bitcoins somewhere in fact you can save it on any computer you like whether it has internet connection or not but in order to use it you would need a internet connection Sometimes People save it on a device with no internet connection and it is called “Cold-Storage” you can print it out on a paper or keep it on a usb flash drive whenever you want to use your coins just plug it in and Spend it.

Where do they come from? Mining? 

Ah, yes the most asked question bitcoin comes from “Miners” in simple words miners are those people that turn heavy computational into bitcoin. But how? bitcoins are generated through a software that gives out a fraction of bitcoin after completing / solving an algorithm with all its computational power like 0.0001 BTC Since the whole lot of people are mining you must be thinking they must have gotten rich since bitcoin is now at 607$ but No! along with mining miners also Approve transaction from one point to another but mining isn’t that easy since the difficulty level of each bitcoin is now increasing day by day that means you need more power which is.
Bitcoins mining = Lots of computers whirring fans in your home. And a Electricity bill tearing through the roof.
Trust me that is not a good idea now even the oldest miners are starting to give up because of the difficulty of the network see this video Below from “Bitcoin Mining” to get the idea.






So now let’s write some things down we know about Bitcoins
- Its Decentralized 
  • There is no Central Server that is controlling the transaction so you have got full control over you money.
- Its Easy to Set up
  •  Just create an online wallet and you will be provided with a wallet address and you can send or receive money through it.
-Its Fast 
  • Bitcoin transactions are cleared withing seconds to minutes so you don’t have to wait when you are paying the cashier for the yogurt you just bought from bitcoins.
-Its Anonymous
  • For some people this is a big Yes! because no one can track you and even your wallet address wont be linked to you name. A simple wallet address looks like this “1F1tAaz5x1HUXrCNLbtMDqcw6o5GNn4xqX"

Conclusion

Most people are already using bitcoins a lot you almost 100,000  Local stores in America are now accepting bitcoins as a payment. and it is also used for trading stocks sometimes the price of bitcoins are high or low but the companies are making business because of ease of access but like anything it has risks too. So Tread Carefully.
