Microsoft still hasn’t got hold of the smartphone market and is lacking at a very distant 3rd place in the market after Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS. They are still improving but at a very slow pace as compared to others. Windows Phone store still lies at 145,000 apps and games while both Android and iOS have more than 600,000 apps on their respective app stores. The new Metro UI and Microsoft’s hardware and software control over the OS looked very promising at start. Although their new found friend Nokia is launching some amazingly performing devices such as the Lumia 720 (Nokia Lumia 720 price: INR 17K) and Lumia 920 (Price: 33K), they are facing many problems in attracting consumers to buy their devices. Let us have a look at some of the most requested features in Windows Phone platform.

NVIDIA launches the GeForce GTX 780, offers performance near the TITAN

May 23, 2013By BrianGaming0 comments

NVIDIA today has launched their latest high-end single GPU graphics card, dubbed the GTX 780. When it comes to performance, it’s actually very close to the TITAN, but at a much lower price. When compared to the previous-generation GTX 680, you can expect a performance boost from anywhere between 20% and 50%. Using a Keplar GPU, it has 2,304 cores with 3GB of GDDR5 graphics memory, “each 50 percent more than its predecessor.” The GTX 780 is available right now from online retailers and from some stores. At Newegg, it’s priced from $649.99 from a number of different manufacturers. As is with all GPU launches, all GTX 780s are currently using the reference design, so it may take a while before companies start implementing their own coolers onto the card. For more information, check out the press release below.
