Nvidia DLSS 3.5

Nvidia DLSS 3.5 makes your games even more beautiful, immersive and realistic with the introduction of Ray Reconstruction, a new AI-powered technique that further enhances the quality of ray tracing. And in apps, ray-traced previews and viewports are greatly improved, enabling creators to better visualize the final result before time-consuming renders.

DLSS 3.5 is available for all GeForce RTX and NVIDIA RTX users.

In other DLSS news, Lies of P, Party Animals, Warhaven and Witchfire are all launching this week with day-one DLSS support, and gamers can check out an open beta for The First Descendant, an upcoming DLSS 3-accelerated game.

How to install and move games to M.2 SSD storage on a PS5 console

You can download games from PlayStatio Store to your M.2 SSD. Go to the home screen and select Settings > Storage > Installation Location to set this up.

To move games and apps already installed on your console storage:

  1. Go to your games home and select Game Library.
  2. Highlight the data you want to move, press the Options button, and then select Move Games and Apps.
    When you’re using both an M.2 SSD and a USB extended storage drive, go to the Movable to M.2 SSD Storage tab.
  3. Select the checkboxes for any other games and apps you want to move and select Move.

To check your storage space and to move or delete data on your M.2 SSD, go to the home screen and select Settings > Storage > M.2 SSD Storage.

The Elements of a Windows Event Log

Windows event log provides information about hardware and software events occurring on a Windows operating system. It helps network administrators track potential threats and problems potentially degrading performance. Windows stores event logs in a standard format allowing a clear understanding of the information. Following are the main elements of an event log:

  • Log name: Name of the event log to which events from different logging components will be written. Events are commonly logged for system, security, and applications.
  • Event date/time: Includes the date and time when the event occurred.
  • Task category: Identifies the type of recorded event log. Application developers can also define task categories to serve as extra information about the event.
  • Event ID: This Windows identification number helps network administrators uniquely identify a specific logged event.
  • Source: Name of the program or software causing the event log.
  • Level: Event level represents the severity of the recorded event log. These include information, error, verbose, warning, and critical.
  • User: Name of the user who logged onto the Windows computer when the event occurred.
  • Computer: Name of the computer logging the event.

How to check and view Windows Event logs

Windows event log location is C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\ folder. Event logs can be checked with the help of ‘Event Viewer’ to keep track of issues in the system:

  • Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to open the run window
  • In the run dialog box, type in eventvwr and click OK
  • In the Event Viewer window, expand the Windows Logs menu
  • Under the Windows Logs menu, you’ll notice different categories of event logs—application, security, setup, system, and forwarded events
  • Click on one of the event logs to check and view the events recorded under it.

Ce inseamna PCI Express

PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) E slotul (sau sloturile) de pe placa de baza unde se conecteaza placile video.
  • PCI Express e mult, mult mai rapid decat vechiile PCI si AGP
  • Latimea de banda e mult mai larga decat la cele din urma
  • Are mai multe benzi de circulatie prin care trimite si primeste datrele, iar o singura banda PCI Express e mult mai rapida decat una AGP sau PCI
  • Se conecteaza direct la northbridge (PCI se conecta la southbridge ). Da, si AGP se conecta la northbridge, dar nu avea atatea lane-uri, “benzi de circulatie” a datelor ca si PCI Express, iar cele pe care le avea erau mult mai lente.

Ce inseamna Hyper-Threading

Hyper-Threading

In primul rand Hyper-Threading (HT) e facut de Intel si se foloseste numai la procesoarele Intel. Cu tehnologia aceasta, daca ai un singur procesor, sistemul de operare vede ca si cum ai avea doua sau unul dual-core. Si astfel, mai multe procese pot sa ruleze deodata.

Procesorul single-core schimba atat de repede intre ele incat ai impresia ca merg deodata. De exemplu, daca asculti o melodie in Winamp in timp ce stai pe Facebook, acestea nu se intampla deodata, ci procesorul schimba extrem de repede intre ele, si in timp psihologic, uman, nu iti dai seama.

Hyper-Threading e o tehnologie care poate sa “imparta” procesorul in mai multe fire de executie (thread inseamna fir) incat sa ruleze pe bune deodata. De cand cu procesoarele dual-core, nu  mai e  nevoie de aceasta tehnologie, pentru ca, evident, chiar sunt doua cipuri reale intr-o capsula.

Ce inseamna Northbridge

Northbrige (puntea de nord) este acel cip de pe placa de baza care face legatura intre procesor, RAM si southbridge. De aceea i se spune bridge, pentru ca-i o punte care face legatura intre aceste componente. E cel mai important cip de pe placa de baza, dupa procesor. E “directorul” placii de baza (procesorul fiind seful executiv).

Northbrige-ul controleaza:

  • memoria RAM
  • sloturile PCI Express
  • slotul M2
  • vechiul slot AGP (il controla)
  • cererile dinspre si inspre procesor
  • legatura cu southbridge
  • contine controler-ul video onboard (“placa video” onboard), daca e dotat cu asa ceva.

Sub acel radiator se afla cipul Northbridge.

Nortbridge-ul mai este denumit si MCH (Memory Controller Hub – hubul controllerului de memorie) pentru ca acesta controleaza memoria RAM. Cand procesorul apeleaza la RAM, Northbridge-ul ii spune cat RAM are instalat, la ce adresa din memorie se gaseste fisierul respectiv, cata memorie ocupa… etc. Acesta are un tabel virtual care contine adresele din memoria RAM si detalii despre capacitatea memoriei.

Fara acest cip procesorul sau BIOS-ul nu ar sti cum sa lucreze cu memoria. De asemenea, la fel se “intelege” si cu placa video (sloturile PCI Express).Northbridge-ul se leaga de procesor prin FSB (Front Side Bus – canalul principal frontal)
Inainte, prin ani 90, erau mai multe cipuri pe placa de baza care indeplineau functiile pe care le indeplineste acum northbridge-ul, insa cu timpul toate acestea au fost incluse in doar trei chip-uri: northbridge, southbridge si super I/O.

Ce inseamna Southbridge

Southbridge (puntea sudica) este al doilea circuit cel mai important din chipset-ul placii de baza.

Acesta controleaza:

  • canalele IDE (hard disk, CD-ROM)
  • canalele SATA
  • porturile USB
  • sloturile PCI
  • portul paralel (ex. imprimantele vechi)
  • sunetul onboard
  • comunicarea cu BIOS-ul
  • CMOS-ul (pe care il contine)
  • comunicarea cu cipul super I/O

Southbridge nu comunica direct cu memoria sau procesorul, ci se conecteaza la northbridge, caruia-i trimite datele “obiectelor controlate”, apoi northbridge-ul le trimite memoriei/procesorului.

Southbridge, la randul lui, primeste alte informatii de la cipul super I/O.

Impreuna cu Northbridge si cu cipul Super I/O, acesta formeaza chipset-ul placii de baza.
