NVIDIA"s Grand GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 Unveiling Teased - "Order of 10" Points To GeForce 1000 Series ...

Introducing the GeForce GTX 1080. Gaming Perfected.

NVIDIA will be unveiling their Pascal GeForce 1000 series cards in a matter of days but it seems like they really love to tease their upcoming announcement by sending out a mysterious puzzle to select tech sites. The tease which is titled as Order of 10 may not hint at the Pascal cards at first but after solving the puzzles, most tech sites have figured out that this campaign has been started by NVIDIA and references their GeForce Pascal series that will be unveiled on 6th May 2016.

Its not a coincidencethat many tech sites have received the mystery box at the same day and all lead to the same site known as orderof10.com. The site has a hexagon image with each side the equivalent of a piece of puzzle. The mystery site is accessed by entering a code from the triangle that is housed inside the box which was also sent to tech sites. The box has a 10 logo embedded on the front and a single triangle with the code featured inside.

After spending some time solving the puzzle, GamerNexus (Via Videocardz)found out another link that led to a count down that ends on Friday (6th May 2016). I think we all know where this is going but that still isnt enough to indicate that this is indeed a GeForce Pascal event but the rest of the puzzle pieces reveal that it is indeed a grand event for GeForce 1000 series cards.

There are a total of six pages on the site, we have Collision, Structure, Circles, Compute, Vision and Astronomy. Each puzzle corresponds to the next, solving the mystery piece. Theres also a reference for Fermi on the page so this provides us a hint at what the puzzle is all about. Solving all pieces reveals the title of Humanity shall be enlightened which when entered next to the URL leads to a countdown timer. There is definitely a whole lot of research that went into finding what the tease is all about.

All of the puzzle pieces on the Orderof10 website have been solved, leading to a countdown timer!

Whats more interesting is that this upcoming event was previously rumored to be a editor only event but the same editors have made the unveiling public by confirming that something is cooking over at NVIDIA. A grand unveiling of Pascal cards that is, we know that GeForce 1080 and GeForce 1070 products will be available this quarter (June 2016) but there are lots of people who want to see the cards first before buying them so NVIDIA announcing them (Paper Launch) a few weeks before launch does seem like a good choice however we cant be so sure on whether this event will be public or press only.

The countdown timer reveals that only 3 days and 12 hours are left till the unveiling of something big!

Since this unveiling is all about NVIDIAs next-generation Pascal based graphics cards, we want to let you know that even if NVIDIA didnt initiatethis campaign, it was confirmed that NVIDIA had two cards ready for launch for June 2016. These cards include their GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070 products which will be based on the latest GP104 GPU core that utilizes the 16nm FinFET process to deliver a huge increase in total transistor density that leads to improved performance on smaller die packages.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 With 8 GB GDDR5X Memory

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 will be the fastest Pascal card launching this year. The card was leaked last week and we have since seen several revisions of the GTX 1080 graphics board. The most detailed was the PCB shot which we exclusively shared with our audience last week, unveiling the GDDR5X memory on board a completely custom PCB.

The NVIDIA GP104-400-A1 GPU is designed for the GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 will feature 8 GB of GDDR5X memory which is said to be clocked at speeds of 10 GB/s leading to 320 GB/s bandwidth. The GPU will house close to 8 Billion transistors with a rumored 2560 core count. The card will feature a 256-bit memory bus and architectural improvements in the Pascal core will lead to faster performance in DirectX 12 and compute oriented loads. The NVIDIA GP104 GPU is much smaller than the GM204 GPU in size but it will enhance the already great performance per watt nature of the Maxwell cores.

There is no word on the pricing yet but I personally think it will be close to the price range of GTX 980 around the $549-$599 range. NVIDIAs rival, AMD seems to have no competition against the GTX 1080 in this range since they will be aiming for lower price markets where the GTX 1070 comes in action.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 With 8 GB GDDR5 Memory

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 is the second card which has been leaked in the past. Based on the same GP104 core as the GTX 1080, the card will feature a slightly cut down design. We dont exactly know how many SMPs will be disabled from this product but it will mostly retain the competitive nature against AMDs Polaris based cards. Instead of using GDDR5X, NVIDIA will feature 8 GB GDDR5 memory to deliver a more cost effective card which will still be clocked at speeds of 8 GB/s across a 256-bit bus leading to 256 GB/s bandwidth.

The NVIDIA GP104-200-A1 GPU is designed for the GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card.

The successor to the GeForce GTX 970 will enhance upon its predecessor, once again aiming for the crown of the most used graphics card of 2015. The GTX 970 has a large install base so if NVIDIA offers competitive price on the GTX 1070 which they did with the GTX 970 ($329) while offering great performance, it could once again be a winner for team green.

Videocardz also points out that the font used on the 10 number is the same style which NVIDIA uses for their products. Hence this unveil is definitely coming from NVIDIA. One more thing that we would like to point out is that the leaked cooler shrouds for Pascal cards also feature a very sharp and aggressive design like the triangle so it must be pointing to those too.

We are sure that NVIDIA has got most of us really excited about the upcoming GeForce Pascal launch and we just hope that they can deliver some great products to consumers.

Harry Styles" Ex Taylor Swift: s**t-Shamed?

Harry Styles & Louis Tomlinson No Longer Speaking?

Taylor Swift is well-known for her high-profile relationships with men like Harry Styles, Connor Kennedy, John Mayer, and Jake Gyllenhaal, and for her willingness to dish about her romances in songs. In an April interview with Vogue magazine, Swift complained that she is sick of the incredibly sexist Men of Taylor Swift slideshows that are often included in articles about her music and style.

spent the last two hours making a timeline of all the men taylor swift has dated and which songs are about which guy Help me pls

Jodi (@jodi18two) November 4, 2015

@Donuts_whore look at taylor swift a successful women being defined by the men she has dated and she cant even write about them cuz people

ARI (@selenas_dream) September 16, 2015

Taylor enjoyed a huge profile-boost when she dated Harry Styles, in particular, due to the fact that hostile and/or obsessed Directioners began following her every move.

Taylor is not happy, though. In a new Vogue video, Harrys ex complains that she feels she has been a lightning rod for s**t-shaming.

Taylor takes us on a tour of her home and garden, talking about her personal style.

Swift reveals that she felt singled out for criticism as a result of her many dates, flings, and paramours. Taylor, who is now in a long-term relationship after a string of love disappointments, claims that she did not realize that her revealing songs would attract so much negative attention and turn her into a s**t-shaming victim.

Not just a victim, a lightning rod. By using that term, Taylor implies that she became the solitary target for the focused rage of our entire society. She also implies she was targeted more than other famous women are.

But was Taylor Swift really singled out?

Compared to other famous female serial daters, Taylor actually got off very lightly in the s**t-shaming department. Compare Swift to Rita Ora, who has been unable to get a singing career past the early stages, in part because people feel like the date-a-holic gives off a bad energy, according to the Sun.

Not only that, the extra exposure Taylor Swift has received, in a media hungry for headlines about romances, breakups, and s*x lives, has been a huge boost for the talented Swifts career.

Taylor Swift has dated many of men, made songs about them, some of them were too d**n old. Nicki Minaj only two but who"s labeled a "hoe"

Patti Watson-Soluade (@PattiMayo_05) October 5, 2015

If Rihanna wasn"t a woman of color the media wouldn"t portray her sexuality as s**t. Taylor Swift has dated at least 20x the men as Rihanna

Adrian (@AmerykahnScream) March 8, 2016

Taylor Swift is talented, but many women just as gifted as her labor in obscurity because there are no headlines linking them to the likes of flaky John Mayer or jerky Jake Gyllenhaal.

The bottom line: If your song lyrics generate automatic intrigue and inspire careful close-readings because people think they might be about John or Harry Styles, consider yourself blessed.

Vice actually ran an article claiming that Taylor herself s**t-shames other women constantly!

My problem with Taylor Swift is her lyrics. Its not that she only writes about boys and love (even though I find this problematic and totally unprogressive).

Its that Taylor Swift s**t-shames other women constantly and no one says anything about it.

Swift has now won a Grammy and has always been celebrated for her songwriting talent even at the height of her serial dating and the alleged s**t-shaming.

The tone of the Men of Taylor Swift pictorials, such as this one by Access Hollywood, was always generally very respectful. The worst you could say is that the tone was fluffy and flippant, with the female journalist often pausing to gush over an outfit Taylor was wearing, how good her hair looked, and how handsome her men are. Her song lyrics were quoted and album and track titles referenced, alongside oohs and ahhs! by besotted woman writers who had always wondered what Joe Jonas or Harry Styles might be like in private.

However, lines from Swifts songbook were scattered about within the pictorials, showcasing her talent and ability to turn a great phrase, as well as her wonderful hair and handsome men.

The s-word was never used. When exactly, one wonders, was Taylor Swift a lightning rod for s**t-shaming?

Taylor swift has made a career out of dissing and exposing the men she"s dated and using them for subject matter now she"s a victim ????????????

Lingering questions about Johnny Manziel"s domestic violence case, football career

A Cleveland Browns Johnny Manziel Farewell Tribute

Theres no date set for when former Aggie and Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel must appear in court on his domestic violence case.

Hes heading back to Los Angeles just to go about his life, his attorney Bob Hinton said after Manziel appeared in a Dallas courtroom this week.

Manziel, 23, is accused ofkidnapping, hitting and threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, in January at Hotel ZaZa in Uptown Dallas during a fight over another woman. They broke up in December after dating for two years.

Crowley, 23, told police that Manziel had invited her to his hotel room to talk and that he slapped her head, rupturing her eardrum and causing her to lose her hearing. She said he then dragged her by the hair and forced her into a car, which he drove to Fort Worth, where she lives.

Here are three lingering questions about the former Heisman Trophy winner and his future:

1. Why is the domestic violence case against Manziel a misdemeanor and not a felony?

The misdemeanor all comes down to serious bodily injury, said Dallas defense attorney Toby Shook, a former top Dallas County prosecutor who is not involved in the Manziel case.

That means, he said, death, substantial risk of death or protracted loss or impairment.

Shook said he doesnt believe that applies.

The fact that she got her hearing back, I dont think they could prove serious bodily injury, Shook said. They were weaker on that, so that is probably why they went with the misdemeanor.

Had Crowleys hearing loss been permanent, Shook said, the charge might have been a felony.

Crowley also accused Manziel of kidnapping her by forcing her into the car. But Shook saidits not a strong case for kidnapping. He suggested the alleged act could be interpreted as unlawful restraint but that is also a misdemeanor.

2. Will Manziels case go to trial?

I think theres a good chance it goes to trial because of the effects it could have on his professional football career, Shook said.

Johnny Manziel mug shot

If Manziel wants to play again, Shook said, he will want a chance to clear his name if his attorneys cant get the case dismissed.

3. Will Manziel play in the NFL again this year or ever?

From Dallas Morning News reporter Brandon George, who covers the Dallas Cowboys:

Its unlikely Manziel could regain the trust of an NFL team in time to see the field in 2016.

He is free to sign with any team, but why would an organization take on a player who has consistently shown his priority is partying over practicing? Furthermore, most NFL teams addressed their quarterback needs in last weeks draft and would be less willing to take a chance on Manziel.

Quarterbacks who cant make it work in downtrodden Cleveland and there have been several usually dont resurrect their careers elsewhere.

Even if a team took a big chance on Manziel, he is facing the possibility of a lengthy suspension when he returns to the NFL because of his involvement in a domestic violence case. Manziel doesnt have to be convicted for the NFL to suspend him for a violation of the leagues personal conduct policy.

Bottom line: Its almost a certainty that Manziel wont play professional football in 2016.

And, after being dropped recently by two agents, Manziel faces a long road back to the NFL at any point.

DICE teases today"s Battlefield 5 reveal via Call of Duty p**p emoji

Battlefield 5 and Other Ramblings

Battlefield 5 will be unveiled tonight at 9pm UK time, via a trailer posted online.

This morning, DICE developer Randy Evans teased the company"s big announcement using a p**p emoji - in an apparent nod to last week"s Call of Duty reveal.

Call of Duty"s official Twitter account teased the fact Infinite Warfare will be accompanied by a Modern Warfare remaster by replying to a years-old fan message.

Last night, DICE released the first snippet of in-game footage, although it was difficult to determine anything from the tease.

Still, some fans have said the character"s costume supports the rumoured return to a historical setting.

And, adding fuel to the fire, ex-Battlefield exec Ben Cousins has now posted the following message on Twitter, which links to PC World War 1-era shooter Codename Eagle.

There"s a live event in London tonight mark the announcement, and we"ll be giving up our Friday night pub duties to attend.

We"ll have the reveal as soon as its live.

Radiohead Is Slowly Erasing Itself From the Internet. Will They Reappear With a New Album?

Radiohead - Creep
Thom Yorke has a secret.

Dominique Faget/AFP/Getty Images

Whether your late-weekend routine entails reading music blogs, casually browsing the whole of the internet, or compulsively typing Radiohead next album release date into your search engine of choice, you were in for some strange news yesterday: Radiohead has gone missing! Well, sort of. The headlines coalesced around the choicest Radiohead puns (Radiohead have disappeared completely; Radiohead have erased themselves; Radiohead fade out; Not OK, computer!). The articles themselves all delivered the same basic details: Radioheads website is now just a blindingly white page, Radioheads Twitter page is suddenly tweetless, Radioheads Facebook page and Google+ page have gone similarly blank, and frontman Thom Yorke cannot be found for comment. (Band members Jonny Greenwood and Phil Selway seem to still be with us, though. Phewfor a minute there ...)

Upping the intrigue was the weekends other weird Radiohead news: On Saturday morning, some of the bands U.K. fans received leaflets in the mail (or in the post, as it were) containing the following cryptic message: Sing the song of sixpence that goes/ BURN THE WITCH/ We know where you live. And as the most fervent of Radiohead-heads will tell you, Burn the Witch is the rumored title of one of Radioheads many long-gestating, as-yet-unreleased tracks.

So, what does it all mean? Lets break it down: Theres a tour starting in less than three weeks. Theres probably an album coming soonish. There might be a single coming even sooner. But beyond that, well just have to wait and see. Despite what they might claim, Radiohead loves surprises.

Daytime Emmys 2016: "General Hospital" dominates with 12th Drama Series win, but Anthony Geary denied

‘The Real’ Emmy Nominations!

General Hospital was the big winner at Sunday nights Daytime Emmy Awards. It won five prizes, including Best Drama Series. That was its 12th victory in the categorymore than any other soap. Combined with its four wins at Fridays Creative Arts Awards, GH finishes with nine awards total this year. Click here for thecomplete list of winners.

In addition to Best Drama Series, GH also claimed Best Drama Directing Team for the ninth time. And it swept through the male acting prizes, but Anthony Geary wasnt the star who took Best Actor. The eight-time winner was upset by his co-star TylerChristopher,who had never been nominated for Best Actor before this year and had never won an Emmy in any category. Best Supporting Actor was another surprise, with Sean Blakemore overtaking his GH co-star Dominic Zamprogna, while Bryan Craig won Best Younger Actor for the first time on his third straight nomination.

Daytime Emmys 2016: Complete Creative Arts winners list

Interestingly, all of this years drama acting champswere first-timers. Days of Our Lives won a pair of acting prizes: Best Actress for Mary Beth Evansand Best Younger Actress for True OBrien. This was Evanssfirst nomination and win for her role on Days, butshe is actually now a four-time Emmy champ. She won last year as a producer of the digital drama series The Bay, and she won twice more for that show at Creative Arts on Friday night: Best Digital Drama and Best Digital Drama Actress. In fact, Evans has never lost when nominated.

The Bold and the Beautiful also won twice. Veteran character actor Obba Babatunde claimed Best Guest Performer, while the show also took Best Writing Team for the second year in a row and for the fourth time overall. Counting its two victories at Creative Arts, B&B won four awards this year.

The Young and the Restless won the lions share of prizesat Creative Arts, but it had to settle for just one victory at the main ceremony: Best Supporting Actress for Jessica Collins(we raved about her episode submissions here). That brings its total this year to six.

But there were plenty of surprises outside the drama categories as well. The Talk won Best Entertainment Talk Show for the first time, upsetting the usually dominant Ellen DeGeneres Show, which has won the Talk Show prize nine times. But the hosts of The Talk (whom we chatted withlast week to discuss their nomination) lost the Entertainment Talk Show Host race to repeat winners Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan (Live with Kelly and Michael), who made headlines recently when Strahans upcomingdeparture from the show upset Ripa, who reportedly was not notified of his decision in advance.

The Chew won Best Informative Talk Show for the first time. But even though the shows hosts were namedBest Informative Talk Show Host last year, the television academy chose Mehmet Oz for The Dr. Oz Show this time around. It was the fourth overall hosting win for Oz, following victories in 2010, 2011 and 2014.

The Price is Right won Best Game Show for the sixth time, while Craig Ferguson (Celebrity Name Game) defended his title as Best Game Show Host.

Extra tookBest Entertainment News Program, while CBS Sunday Morning prevailed as Best Morning Program for the third time in four years. One more victory will tie it with Today and Good Morning America as the most awarded program in the category.

Radiohead - No Surprises

Ever felt overwhelmed by an artists extensive back catalog? Been meaning to check out a band, but you just dont know where to begin? In 10 Songs is here to help, offering a crash course and entry point into the daunting discographies of iconic artists of all genres. This is your first step toward fandom. Take it.

For some of us, it takes a whileto get into Radiohead, if we ever get into them at all. Thats because its easy to categorize their music as serious, self-important, and depressing and it is, sometimes. But to dismiss itentirely would be to miss out on sci-fi landscapes, wild experimentation, hook-filled grunge, and even some dance beats here and there. And thats what this list is about. Like all of ourIn 10 Songsfeatures, these arent necessarily the 10 best Radiohead songs, but the ones we feel best represent the many sides of the band while also unveiling their sometimes hidden accessibility. If you can get into at least one tune, chances are youll find a whole lot more of them to like throughout their discography. And if you can get behind all 10, you just might be a convert.

But thats just our opinion. If you feel we totally missed the boat, leave your 10 favorite gateway songs in the comments section below. As any fan can attest, one of the best things about listening to Radiohead is disagreeing about Radiohead.
