This mod allows Nvidia GeForce owners to run a custom VBIOS without flashing the card

Enthusiast zone: Nvidia’s signed firmware has ensured that BIOS modifications are largely off the table for GeForce owners. A new set of tools bypasses this blocking rather than destroying it by loading a custom VBIOS through the driver itself. It reopens a door that enthusiasts thought was closed, but it arrives on a platform where … Read more

US superconducting smart chip analyzes fusion plasma at record speed

Scientists in New York state have developed a unique superconducting neural chip that can reportedly process about a million fusion plasma samples per second. The new Super Intelligence (SI) computer chip was developed by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). For the project, they collaborated with the Princeton Plasma … Read more
