Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950 Xtreme VGA

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950 Xtreme VGA




NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 950 was released a few weeks ago, covering the entry-level price-point at around $160, right below $200, where competition from AMD is strong.

NVIDIA gave the GeForce GTX 950 a solid and cost-effective foundation in the 28 nm GM206 silicon on which the GTX 960 is also based. This is a tiny chip, and compared to the R7 370, it has a narrower 128-bit memory bus for just four memory chips on the card. NVIDIA makes up for some of the deficit with lossless texture compression tech, which improves effective bandwidth by around 20%. The sheer pixel-crunching muscle of the Maxwell architecture takes care of the rest, which creates immense room for future cost-cutting measures.


Today, we are reviewing Gigabyte's tweaked up GTX 950 Xtreme Gaming, which is the company's flagship GTX 950 card. It comes with an overclock on both GPU and memory and has a backplate, all for $180.

Java shines brightest in language popularity Java's popularity keeps climbing and climbing. Once again, Java leads both the Tiobe and PyPL indexes . But this month, Java climbed above a 20 percent rating in the Tiobe index, which gauges popularity based on a formula that assesses searches on languages in multiple search engines. Java's rating was 20.403 percent, the first time it had reached a level exceeding 20 percent since July 2009. Java's Tiobe rating was 19.543 percent in October, and it has increased more than 6 percentage points in the past year. In the PyPL index, which assesses searches on language tutorials in Google, Java claimed a 24.4 percent share. Tiobe said the recent JavaOne conference in San Francisco helped Java. Tiobe Managing Director Paul Jansen, who compiles the index, also sees Java's evolution as helping. "The Java language is changing nowadays, after having been at the same level for many years," Jansen
