ASUS Zephyrus has similar design elements to the Strix series but focuses more on being thinner, lighter, and more portable. The 2023 Zephyrus lineup is largely unchanged on the outside, focusing mostly on internal specs.

The most noteworthy model of the Zephyrus series is the dual-screen Zephyrus Duo. ASUS equips this laptop with an AMD 16-core Ryzen 9 Zen 4 processor and an Nvidia RTX 4090 processor for graphics. The maximum TGP is limited to 125W. It’s still pricey at nearly $4,000.

Other products in the Zephyrus series have also undergone major upgrades. The M16 has been completely redesigned and will feature up to a 13th-gen Intel Core i9 24-core CPU and NVIDIA RTX 4090 graphics. Packing ASUS’ latest TriFan cooling system and full-width radiator, the TGP on the latest model is 20W taller than its predecessor. The laptop casing has also been upgraded with a better finish, and the Asus Matrix display on the lid has been greatly improved. The new Zephyrus laptops will be available starting late in the first quarter of 2023.

In October this year, there was news that Nvidia would launch the RTX 4090 model on the notebook platform.

According to the whistleblower REHWK, Nvidia’s new mobile series of GPUs will have the above five SKU models, from RTX 4060 to RTX 4090. It is the first time that Nvidia has launched the 90 series on a mobile platform, but instead of using the flagship AD102 GPU of the RTX 4090 desktop graphics card, Nvidia uses the AD103 GPU of the 4080 desktop graphics card. In addition, it is reported that the total power consumption of the new generation of mobile GPU will not exceed 175W.

Nvidia is expected to announce news about a new generation of mobile GPUs at CES early next month.

In addition, the Intel i5-13400 processor will be launched on the 3rd of next month, and the RTX 4070 Ti desktop graphics card will be launched on the 5th of next month.

According to EA, the game will run on machines with RTX 4090 graphics cards that will have display flicker problems, which can only be resolved by updating the card’s VBIOS.

But fortunately, NVIDIA has launched a fully automated VBIOS update tool for graphics cards, supporting Windows systems, allowing users to update the RTX 4090’s VBIOS with a single click.

Need for Speed 22: Unrestrained is a racing game produced by Criterion Games and published by EA, and the game supports simplified Chinese subtitles and voice acting. The background of the game takes place in the fictional Chicago lakeshore city, the game will be integrated with anime elements and more youthful, such as vehicle speed to a certain degree, will appear after the flame, smoke and speed line and other anime effects.

The game is based on a fictional Chicago lakefront city with a young and youthful setting, such as vehicle speed with fire and smoke and speed lines and anime effects. … For the minimum requirements, PC players need AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i5-8600, 8GB of RAM, and AMD Radeon RX 570 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.

GPU manufacturers “need to take all appropriate and prudent measures to ensure end-user safety, including testing of reported problem cases,” reads part of the PCI-SIG’s statement. The organization also spends 49 words to disclaim its responsibility.

"We remind members that the PCI-SIG specification provides the necessary technical information for interoperability and does not attempt to address proper design, manufacturing methods, materials, security testing, security tolerances or processes. In implementing the PCI-SIG specification, members are responsible for the design, manufacture, and testing (including security testing) of their products."

The PCI-SIG created the 12VHPWR standard as well as all PCI Express standards.

In a tweet, Sasa Marinkovic, AMD’s director of game marketing, implied that the 16-pin connector was a fire hazard. Stay safe this holiday season,” he wrote, along with a picture of the two older 8-pin connectors AMD has equipped on its latest graphics cards, the RX 7900 XTX and XT.

ASUS even offers a custom version of the RX 7900 that has three 8-pin connectors instead of opting to embrace 12VHPWR. nevertheless, the new AMD graphics cards use PCIe 4.0 instead of 5.0, so AMD can still make the switch in its next-generation products.

PCI-SIG may also want to avoid those who might see the organization’s own upcoming changes to 12VHPWR cables as evidence that the standards body is to blame. tweakTown reported earlier this month that the new version of the connector extends the shroud on its four data pins. Admittedly, when comparing this minor change to the GamersNexus report on when and where cable burn-in might occur, it doesn’t seem like a slightly longer shroud would help much. What would help is a design with more sound and touch used to indicate that the power cable is plugged in tighter might be more appropriate.

As of November 18, NVIDIA says it has received about 50 reports of burned or melted power cords so far and has promised to provide replacements for anyone affected by the issue. No official recall has been announced yet. One buyer did file a lawsuit in California, accusing NVIDIA of selling graphics cards with “dangerous power cord plugs and sockets” that “pose a serious electrical and fire hazard to everyone who buys them.

The default power consumption of the RTX 4090 officially given by Nvidia is 450W, but it will not reach this power consumption during actual operation. The foreign technology media TechPowerUp found after actual measurement that the actual power consumption of the RTX 4090 when running games is around 340W.

Korean media Quasar Zone reduces the power consumption of the RTX 4090 by limiting power consumption and lowering the core voltage. After reducing the power consumption to 270W (down to 60%), in its most active power ), the average loss in performance of the 5 AAA games tested was only 8%. Reducing the voltage of the GPU from 1V to 850mV is similar. In both cases, the performance penalty seems to be well-controlled, while reducing power consumption.

According to the latest report from Igor’sLAB, Nvidia’s official investigation confirmed that there are two suppliers of 12VHPWR power lines for RTX 4090, and the problem is concentrated in one of the suppliers’ products.

Gabriele Gorla, director of engineering at Nvidia, revealed that the official 600W power cables bundled with all GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards are manufactured by two Taiwanese companies, Astron Kenshang Technology and NTK Corporation.

According to reports, NTK’s power cord has a better locking system, using a single-spring contact instead of Astron’s two-spring contact design. Astron power cables are said to have lower durability and higher resistance than NTK cables. Nvidia is doing tests to measure how the connection cycle affects the resistance, which should normally not exceed 2 ohms.

In addition, it is reported that Nvidia will use a dual 8Pin to 16Pin power cable for its upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which is the third version after the 3×8Pin of the RTX 4080 and the 4×8Pin of the RTX 4090. However, Igor confirmed that Nvidia will not be using Astron’s power cables in this case.

The video CapFrameX used in this test is a video called “Japan in 8K 60fps”. To initiate a proper capture on CapFrameX software, the application entry “chrome” needs to be removed from the application’s ignore list to find an appropriate capture and provide performance results.

Also, while playing a video, right-clicking on the video pulls up a menu list and also needs to provide a click on “Stats for nerds” so we can see the stats.

Here are the stats for CapFrameX:

The first AV1 test results are the average frame rate per second and the 1% and 0.2% percentile FPS of the four graphics cards

While Intel was the leader in the test, delivering 60 fps, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, RTX 4090, and RTX 3080 all delivered the same 59.9 fps for video. The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT came in last, delivering 55.8 fps, a difference of 4.1 to 4.2 fps on the 4K resolution 60 fps test.

The test results of the “Japan in 8K 60fps” video in 8K resolution are as follows:

The Intel Arc A770 graphics card still topped the charts for AV1 encoding, producing 59.9 fps in 8K video. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, 3090, and my 3080 came in at 57.6, 56.8, and 56.7 fps, respectively, suggesting that NVIDIA’s support for AV1 encoding is better than the last-place AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, which only managed 22 fps.

CapFrameX also provides Chrome AV1 8K video decode frame times, which shows that the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT emits huge spikes of over 800ms every 4 seconds of video. Meanwhile, the Intel Arc A770 graphics card held the lead during the test and improved slightly at the end.

With a graphics card array consisting of eight NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPUs, the password cracking time is reduced to less than 60 minutes, which is half of the RTX 3090. For a standard eight-character password composed of numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters, and symbols, if only one RTX 4090 GPU is used, the time to successfully crack the password is 6.1 hours, not to mention that multiple graphics cards can be used to form an array.
Even crazier, it works against authentication protocols such as Microsoft’s NTLM (New Technology LAN Manager) or Niels Provos and David Mazières (the Bcrypt password hash function created in 1999).

While these numbers are mind-boggling, they’re also terrifying to think about the nefarious uses someone could use to assist in hacking other users, businesses, etc. The cost of such a quick crack is also unbearable. NVIDIA RTX 4090s are priced at $1,600 each (estimated including tax), and a rig working at that speed would cost over $12,800, not including the amount of power needed to achieve this feat.

Another note is that Hashcat is an offline password cracking tool. It is perfect for server and system administrators as well as network security experts. This realization does not mean that you are still safe on the Internet. Google has implemented several cybersecurity measures, including Apple, Microsoft, and others, as well as software security packages, to create reliable and harder-to-crack passwords. Unfortunately, we may use the same password on multiple websites and devices, which is very vulnerable.
