that's right it's techlinked the tech show linking you to tech news
linked to tech i'm ultra bold winchester and here
are today's top stories i don't get it either guys
after some teensy little rumors AMD has officially announced their latest
graphics card the rx 5500 while the rx
5700 and 5700 xt that launched earlier
this year targeted 1440p and even some 4k gameplay the 5500 is focused solely
on producing banging 1080p performance
AMD hasn't announced pricing yet but the fact that it's targeting 1080p means
that it'll be going up against NVIDIA's gtx 1650 which can be bought for as low
as 150 us dollars AMD's own performance slides show the rx 5500 beating the 1650
by as much as 37 percent at 1080p in a range of titles so if team red is still
using the playbook from the rx 5700 series launch we could see the rx 500
undercut the 1650s msrp however while we
have yet to see actual physical cards it looks like the 5500 is going to require
a 6 pin power connector now there are some variants of the 1650 that draw
power only from the PCIe slot plus NVIDIA is gearing up to launch the gtx
1660 super so they're not just letting AMD make all the big moves you know
they're adding super to more things and that's not easy to do red dead
redemption 2 was universally praised when it came out on console a year ago
and pc players had to sit in the corner and just just watch since then it was
humiliating but now we're getting our due as the
enhanced version of the game is coming to pc and google stadia at launch red
dead redemption 2 will release november 5th on rockstar's own game launcher the
epic game store green men gaming the humble store and gamestop you may have
noticed i didn't say the word steam in the last sentence and that's because the
steam version isn't arriving until december
that means you'll be able to play the pc version of red dead redemption 2 on
stadia before you can play it on steam you got to think uh gabe newell is
getting a little frustrated by steam constantly getting shafted with all
these new exclusives when he's not swimming in his gold encrusted money
pool like scrooge mcduck and microsoft might be finally getting
into the vr game with xbox scarlett if
recently he discovered patent filings are to be believed the patents cover a
headset motion controller a stylus and a virtual reality floor mat activity
region so like a vr carpet
the mat would apparently include pressure sensors that would track your
feet position in game and could even have vibration built in it's the biggest
rumble controller ever images show someone using vr in such a matte in
front of a tv with a kinect clearly visible on top that by itself might
invalidate these patents as microsoft has pretty much given up on the kinect
as a gaming device but scarlet might just be the thing it needs for a
comeback right let's bring back the connect come on

i'm salty the marker for pixel 4 leaks is about fully saturated at this point
but we got one more baby before the official
launch next week google's next flagship will apparently allow you to speak to
the assistant just by raising your phone this will almost certainly be janky and
less useful than the squeeze to talk feature that they already have uh but
hey it's a leak and i'm not talking about any more until tuesday
turns out we might have only until june next year to wait for Intel's z graphics
cards the company's chief graphics architect raja kuduri tweeted an image
on friday of the license plate reading think z with a june 2020 expiration date
that is of course when computex happens so this could be a clever tease
or it could be nothing and we're wasting our time
also the z gpus could suck can anyone think of that
i think they should call him zed david thinks they should call him zed
i like that actually it's i i got it finally
sony has remembered that sony has remembered that not many people
own xperia phones anyways and has opened
up ps4 remote play functionality to all Android devices
