      The OS is wp 6 . Now  I have installed a custom rom CM 11 on the HTC HD2 which runs smoothly , I have completed many games on this smartphone like Need For Speed MW, Modern Combat 4,Modern Combat 3 , temple run 1&2, GTA 3 etc. with no lag.

      It does have a lag sometime but I just ignore it because the phone is so old and its a miracle that it is able to run one of the greatly used android kitkat on it. As far I have to say it is one of the best smartphone released yet because you know it is 7 years old and it is running android Kitkat smoothly.

      I doesn't have the money to buy a less cost smartphone even of  INR 2000, so HD2 is my life companion. My cousin gave this phone to me after he bought new phone and I upgraded it from WP 6 to android kitkat 4.4.4. So I like my HD2 because he takes care of my daily tasks as watching in youe tube, browsing e-mails, Calls, Music, video and of course gaming. 

      Sorry for the low quality in the photo of my phone because I don't have any gadgets to take the picture, the picture is taken from my Father's Lenovo S720.

     I am proud to say that HTC HD2 is the " King of the smartphones" in the smartphone market, 

 and also the code name of HTC HD2 is HTC Leo, which meas lion means King.

      And also hats off to XDA for creating CM11 rom for HTC HD2, and also of course to HTC for creating this King and giving it to the world.

     "  Long live the King HTC HD2 "

Powerful Radeon RX 480 GPU with low TDP for just $199(Rs.13500)

AMD's Powerful Radeon RX 480 GPU at just $199(Rs.13500) the best rival for GTX 1080 GPU

        On 1-6-2016 AMD unveiled it most budget friendly powerful GPU at just $199 in the Computex  show held in Taiwan. It has AMD's new Polaris architecture with a low TDP of about 150W or
 <150W . As AMD says they has the goal of providing the best VR experience for about 1.4 billion PC by this year and coming. Now as AMD showed in their show today they said that about 60% of the people lag behind viewing the VR experience is that the cost of making a VR equipped system coasts more than $800 or so. AMD also show us the statics of the graphics cards bought by consumers, most( about 80% )  of them costs between $100 and $300, which means nowaday gamers does not get the desired frame rates or the buttery smooth performance the desires. And for that solution AMD has come with the brand new Radeon RX 480  which has more than 5 TFLOPs, 256 GB/s memory bandwidth, with 36 CUs, and incredible TWP of about 150W, and  a premium
 design with premium AMD technologies all for about $199. Most GPU with this capabilities will cost at least $500.
        
     Benchmark of GTX 1080  vs Radeon RX 480

    
          The reslts were impressive the GTX 1080 which costs about $700 utilisation 98.7% of GPU to maintain an fps of 58.7 and the 2 Radeon RX 480's which costs <$500 outperform the GTX 1080 by 62.5  fps with a GPU utilisation of only about 51% where the GTX 1080 is struggling to maintain a frame rate of 58.7 fps  while the 2x Radeon RX 480 smoothly handle a higher frame rate of 62.5 fps . So here the conclusion is a GPU which has more value for money. The graphics is available for purchasing  from in 29-6-2016.
          Overall this is a budget value card for money with immersive performance , low TDP and smooth VR experience. And also AMD promises us that this card will provide best performance for the  next 4  year gaming .
