1
00:00:00,599 --> 00:00:07,359
uh Luke is very fond of talking about how whenever I'm not here the show

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:15,000
starts on time so I would like for you guys to note that he's not here and the

3
00:00:10,799 --> 00:00:19,519
show almost started on time so clearly

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,680
it's actually uh him amplifying my

5
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:27,840
lateness and that's why whenever we're both here the show is

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,759
late yes that is the that is the obvious

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,760
conclusion that we can draw here so as you guys probably noticed already and if

8
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:39,559
you didn't then hopefully the part where I pointed out that Luke's not here would

9
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:42,280
have drawn you to this conclusion Luke

10
00:00:39,559 --> 00:00:46,960
is not here he is over in computex and so the first topic of the day is

11
00:00:45,239 --> 00:00:50,879
actually something that I should probably do after the intro right so

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:55,039
we've got a great show for you guys today we have all of our computex

13
00:00:53,399 --> 00:01:01,879
coverage some of the highlights from that we've got AMD unveiling many many

14
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:05,920
more details about their upcoming Fiji although it looks like we're going to

15
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:12,600
have to wait a little bit for the rest of it NVIDIA launches mobile g-sync

16
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:16,759
which by the way I have inh housee

17
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:19,360
already and tons and tons of monitors oh

18
00:01:16,759 --> 00:01:23,560
yeah right the huge news this week valve pulled a 180 on their customer service

19
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:29,759
and they're offering well okay whatever I'll tell you guys about it later for

20
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,759
now let's roll the intro

21
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:36,840
oh come on one of these days that's

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:42,799
going to work and then I will be happy so right now you guys are you know what

23
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:46,759
forget it then sponsors today linda.com

24
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:49,719
fresh books and uh Dollar Shave Club

25
00:01:46,759 --> 00:01:52,840
there you go we are just I don't care we're just not going to have an intro I

26
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:59,280
give up um you know what uh I've got some people

27
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:05,079
saying they thought that Luke would call in he said that last week but quite

28
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:11,280
frankly um it's 7 a. over there right now or 7:30 and if you guys noticed some

29
00:02:09,239 --> 00:02:16,400
skepticism on my part when he was saying that he was going to call in it was

30
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,560
because I can do time zones and I knew

31
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:24,120
that he was like straight up a going to be probably not awake at that time and B

32
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:28,280
I knew he was going to be busting his butt over the course of the week getting

33
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:32,160
a bunch of great coverage of computex for you guys and therefore or probably

34
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,519
not in any condition where he would want to or I would even want him to be doing

35
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:42,400
an hour and a half live stream because they have absolutely kicked ass over at

36
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:46,400
computex in fact we can go and I don't think yeah I don't think there's

37
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:50,000
anything here that's like super super top secret but I'm going to post some of

38
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:53,640
the links uh and you guys should definitely check this out later if

39
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:59,879
you're watching the archive I will link these below the video but uh the Corsair

40
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:03,120
Bulldog huge deal over at computex

41
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:06,840
Corsair not necessarily because of the

42
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:09,319
Corsair Bulldog but because it's going

43
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:13,879
mainstream guys like Silverstone have been trying to do the whole yeah we've

44
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:18,920
got like a full-size graphics card and a really small form factor or small

45
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:23,920
internal volume enclosure for some time n case released the M1 which was this

46
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:28,400
super small fullsize graphics card thing well now a mainstream case manufacturer

47
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:34,519
and it's kind of funny for me to say that because I still remember when they launched the 800d and the store that I

48
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:39,400
worked for was like nervous about bringing in too many because a COR a

49
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:43,560
case gee I don't know will it work will it not work yeah it turns out they're a

50
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:50,000
mainstream Casemaker now and they are acknowledging the small form factor

51
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,599
console size case very cool stuff next

52
00:03:50,000 --> 00:04:00,799
up we've got uh what's the other one oh yeah MSI desktop gpus for their AIO and

53
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:04,040
laptop now MSI hasn't complet completely

54
00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:07,879
redone the whole gs30 Shadow Concept in

55
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:10,760
fact what they were showing off was same

56
00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:15,159
laptop but now they have a sexier enclosure for it so instead of being

57
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:20,199
stuck with that ginormous external box that just had a standard ATX power

58
00:04:17,799 --> 00:04:27,639
supply in it they have something that is a little bit sexier so that's pretty

59
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:30,560
cool too ah yes GTX 780 Ti variant so

60
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:35,840
always a big hit it's it's funny because it blows me away every single time how

61
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:43,479
much you guys love the latest high-end graphics cards our GTX 780 Ti review has

62
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:47,199
400,000 views and that went up what a

63
00:04:43,479 --> 00:04:49,880
week ago that's like scrapyard Wars

64
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:55,360
levels of viewership in the first week that's absolutely crazy so Luke actually

65
00:04:52,440 --> 00:05:02,280
highlighted a couple of aftermarket designed 780 Ti one from ASUS one from

66
00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:05,240
Gigabyte and did I say 780 I keep doing

67
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:12,080
this you know what's really funny 980 TI I know I get out of here 980 TI I know

68
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:13,759
um I actually started hearing rumors

69
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:18,280
about the gtx980ti um probably around the same

70
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:23,960
time you guys started hearing rumors about it and a lot of the time there's a

71
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:26,080
lot of Truth to the rumors and so I

72
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:34,120
reached out to my NVIDIA contact I was like yo dog can I get a sample of the

73
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:36,960
780 Ti and I did it not once but twice

74
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:41,160
twice in the first email my subject line was blah blah blah blah blah something

75
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:47,520
780 Ti hey blah blah blah something 780 Ti

76
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:49,600
and he replied to me he's like um yeah

77
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:55,800
sure I can send you a sample but it's like kind of old and I'm just like you

78
00:05:52,919 --> 00:05:59,720
troll you knew what I meant you knew what I meant you Troll and then when I

79
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:06,120
sent a follow-up email I don't even think I got an answer because NVIDIA are

80
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,960
like the kings of if it ain't out it

81
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:16,400
ain't being talked about they are they are pretty good at keeping secrets so uh

82
00:06:10,919 --> 00:06:18,520
yes 980 TI nonreference 980 TI and then

83
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:22,240
one of the other big ones you guys should save these URLs for later if you

84
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:28,720
haven't already checked out the videos this is another really big one inwin

85
00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:30,400
launched like the most boners or

86
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:36,639
announced I don't think it's actually available yet announced like the most

87
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:38,240
boners case ever uh check this out oh

88
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:44,560
yeah I do want to do a huge thanks to our sponsors over at computex that's

89
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:49,039
linda.com and MSI look at this thing

90
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:52,000
this is the kind of stuff that like

91
00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:57,720
concept cars are made of like typically you expect a case like this to just be

92
00:06:54,520 --> 00:07:01,319
like a oneoff that some modder made not

93
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:04,800
the case at all this will be an actual

94
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:07,080
case that you can actually buy uh here's

95
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:11,599
some footage from Brandon of the thing transforming look at that I mean is that

96
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:15,879
is that is that not ridiculous electrician training really I guess I

97
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,160
could be an electrician sure why not that lighting holy crap inwin is one of

98
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:26,080
those companies where like 5 years ago as far as I could tell they only made

99
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:31,120
Cheapo commodity cases and like bad power supplies and then all of a sudden

100
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:35,440
they decided to like okay we're going to do like

101
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:39,360
tempered glass side panels on this one we're going to do like this crazy

102
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:43,879
transforming thing and they decided to totally shake up the case industry I

103
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:48,159
don't know if they're shaking it up necessarily in terms of sales volumes

104
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,599
because some of those products have been pretty darn expensive but they are

105
00:07:49,919 --> 00:07:56,680
definitely shaking it up in terms of design which is very cool stuff so let's

106
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,639
get into the news for this week our first and I'm going to have to be the

107
00:07:58,479 --> 00:08:04,479
one so this was posted by Z mule and I'll have to be the one who posts these

108
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:11,240
links in the forum for you guys unfortunately cuz I don't have my lovely

109
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:14,680
assistant this week but um a nonch

110
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:17,360
reports that the gtx980ti shows a

111
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:22,840
significant difference in pixel fill rates compared to the GTX Titan X and

112
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:27,759
what's interesting about this is the fact that their real world performance

113
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:33,800
is so similar depending on who you ask so I

114
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:39,200
was uh so hold on first we'll go through um so the so in synthetic performance

115
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:43,800
tests you'll see a similar performance between the two cards in general but the

116
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:48,720
980ti loses two polymorph engines in test Mark due to losing two smm though

117
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:52,800
that doesn't really hinder the 980ti in gaming or in in that test overall the

118
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:57,839
980ti loses some rasterization throughput from the smm lost but the 15%

119
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:03,200
drop is larger than can be accounted for by the two SMS uh which account for

120
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:07,640
approximately 10% right now there's 5% that cannot be accounted for at this

121
00:09:04,839 --> 00:09:12,600
point in testing so the 980 TI is actually a little bit of a mystery right

122
00:09:10,839 --> 00:09:16,880
now so there's some weird differences in pixel fill rate there's some weird

123
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:20,920
differences in test Mark and there's some weird there's some weird stuff that

124
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:29,440
I can't really account for in the real world performance as well because I was talking to the NC guys and they had 980

125
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:32,120
TI as a clear loser to Titan X where

126
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:39,000
whereas actually in the Anon Tech review and in my review I had it pretty damn

127
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:41,360
close and I was pretty sure at the time

128
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:48,440
of releasing mine that the difference could be accounted for by my 980 TI

129
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:50,120
boosting up higher than my GTX Titan X

130
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:54,480
but based on some of these synthetic tests over at a nonch we could be

131
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:58,880
looking at something a little bit deeper than that and NVIDIA has been doing this

132
00:09:56,839 --> 00:10:03,160
lately where they really don't want to talk about

133
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,399
the architecture of the chip a lot um

134
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:10,320
they tried to pull that off with GTX 980 and 970 and whether unintentionally or

135
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:14,880
intentionally and I'll leave it to whoever wears whichever color of tinf

136
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:19,600
foil hat they wear to determine you know what they thought I personally don't

137
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:21,920
think NVIDIA intentionally um screwed up

138
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,680
the specs of the 970 TI what happened was because they didn't give the press a

139
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:29,040
lot of information about the architecture that wasn't discovered for

140
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:34,320
months and it turned into vran gate with people trading in their GTX 970s and

141
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:38,200
demanding full refunds because it didn't have the maximum memory bandwidth for

142
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,880
the last 500 Megs of that 4 gig frame buffer

143
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:46,079
so hopefully we're not looking at anything like that the reality of it is

144
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:51,920
it doesn't seem to be affecting 4K gaming performance in any meaningful way

145
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:56,560
that's validated by all of my 4K testing on the card

146
00:10:54,040 --> 00:11:00,079
so it looks like a kickass card hopefully this doesn't uh this is this

147
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:05,880
is this is not going to be any kind of an issue um ASUS is showing off a new

148
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:10,360
professional grade 4k monitor this was posted by the Gage on the Forum I'm

149
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:16,000
going to go ahead and I'm pretty much going to treat the whole show today by

150
00:11:12,279 --> 00:11:18,600
the way guys like rapid fire because I

151
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:23,440
straight up am not going to have I'm not going to be able to hit all these topics

152
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:31,200
if I if I don't do that so the source here is pcdiy ASUS.com and this thing

153
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:33,360
looks absolutely sick ASUS has really

154
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:39,880
stepped up their game in terms of monitors going from just being kind of

155
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:43,839
Cheapo uh commodity stuff all the way up

156
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:45,639
to some pretty fantastic displays I mean

157
00:11:43,839 --> 00:11:51,480
the Rog Swift pg278q was undeniably in my mind the

158
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:56,880
best gaming monitor on the market when it launched it has since um it's had

159
00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:04,000
it's got some tough competition right now for me from acers for kg sync IPS as

160
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:09,399
well as from benq's xl2730z not because I think the 2730 Z

161
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:13,760
is necessarily a better monitor but because it comes in at a significantly

162
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:17,040
lower price it has free sync but not g-sync so AMD gamers are going to have

163
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:22,600
to choose that anyway if they want variable refresh rate and on top of all

164
00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:27,040
that stuff uh the BenQ monitor supports additional inputs which right now any

165
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:33,600
g-sync monitor is not going to be able to do so this one looks pretty fantastic

166
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:36,440
it's 4K of course it's geared towards

167
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:40,639
professionals it features 100% at OB RGB color gamut it's got 138 pixels per inch

168
00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:46,800
which is going to make sense since it's a 32in monitor and supports a 10 pit uh

169
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:51,600
supports has a 10bit display with a 16bit lookup table which is important

170
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:55,839
because the way that a monitor approximates a color behind the scenes

171
00:12:54,160 --> 00:13:00,959
so with the more granularity it can do that actually the better it can

172
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:06,160
represent it on the panel itself even if the panel can't actually display as many

173
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:11,959
colors as the lookup table can understand NVIDIA launches mobile gsync

174
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:16,399
the original poster here is good bites and we've got a number of different

175
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:22,399
sources here I guess I'll go ahead and fire up the Anon one since uh I I love

176
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:28,399
those guys they're good guys over there good old Ryan Smith and Dr cutress

177
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:34,160
and uh I'm sure I'm forgetting someone else who's really nice those are the guys that I sort of have actually

178
00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:38,360
chatted with anyway um what do they what do we have to say about it always

179
00:13:35,839 --> 00:13:41,680
synchronized variable overdrive actually variable overdrive is kind of important

180
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:46,839
I can talk a little bit about that but not not too too much uh SLI support uh

181
00:13:45,079 --> 00:13:51,320
Window mode support so g-sync is actually getting a fair bit of cool

182
00:13:49,199 --> 00:13:56,800
stuff Window mode support's a big one a lot of people prefer gaming in uh full

183
00:13:54,360 --> 00:14:01,360
screen Window mode and that was not supported in G with g-sync up until now

184
00:14:00,079 --> 00:14:04,880
so they went ahead they launched that along with the 980ti uh variable

185
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:09,759
overdrive is something I didn't talk about at all in my 980ti video even

186
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:15,959
though it's news that came out around the same time and what it means is okay

187
00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:21,839
so pixel response times when you talk about gray to gray or black to white or

188
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:23,519
you know whatever however however LCD

189
00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:28,480
manufacturers want to talk about pixel response times is basically the amount

190
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:34,759
of time in milliseconds that it takes for an individual pixel on average to go

191
00:14:31,959 --> 00:14:38,480
from one color to another color whatever spec whatever color shift we're looking

192
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:47,320
at so gr to gray would be gray and then back to gray so pixel response times are

193
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:49,360
a factor for color reproduction because

194
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:53,120
if you have a moving object across the screen and the pixels can't respond fast

195
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:59,160
enough you're going to have weird like a weird color ghost behind moving objects

196
00:14:56,199 --> 00:15:02,600
where there is a high contrast uh line so something like a freelancer was a

197
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,880
great example of this bit of an older game now but so are most of the games

198
00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:11,639
that I've logged serious hours in and on my old Dell 24in monitor I really

199
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:15,240
noticed that whenever the the wing tips of my spacecraft moved around there was

200
00:15:14,199 --> 00:15:19,360
a serious um we used to call it Mo we

201
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:23,560
called it ghosting and then we decided that wasn't right and then we called it motion blur I think we're back to

202
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:27,959
calling it ghosting I don't know whatever there's a trailing uh

203
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:34,480
discoloration behind behind wing tips whenever there's a high contrast line

204
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:36,560
now variable refresh rate throws a real

205
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:40,680
monkey wrench into this because what you can do through a feature called

206
00:15:38,079 --> 00:15:45,720
overdrive is you can actually push the pixels harder to change faster and

207
00:15:44,279 --> 00:15:50,560
that's how you're able that's one of the ways that you can reduce pixel response

208
00:15:48,199 --> 00:15:55,199
time and reduce this motion blur but variable refresh rate so when the when

209
00:15:53,440 --> 00:16:01,000
the pixels are actually being told to refresh at uneven intervals can cause

210
00:15:58,639 --> 00:16:07,560
not necessarily A blurry artifact behind a moving object but what it can cause is

211
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:09,759
differences in the stage that the pixels

212
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,600
are at in terms of switching colors depending on how quickly the whole panel

213
00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:18,399
is refreshing so NVIDIA's basically come

214
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:21,759
out with a way to have OverDrive applied

215
00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:23,759
on the Fly according to how quickly the

216
00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:26,720
monitor is refreshing and that's uh that's a new g-sync feature but the big

217
00:16:25,199 --> 00:16:31,639
one the one I'm supposed to be talking about is mobile g-sync and this was

218
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:37,440
causing waves right around the same time as vram gate because it was kind of

219
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:42,639
revealed through a site that was using a driver that assus had um accidentally

220
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:46,160
leaked to them revealed that there was a particular assus laptop I believe it was

221
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:52,160
the g751 that could be tricked into running

222
00:16:49,199 --> 00:16:56,240
gsync but it wasn't quite working PC perspective did a great followup on it

223
00:16:54,800 --> 00:17:00,199
where they really investigated it found out it wasn't quite working right but

224
00:16:58,079 --> 00:17:06,360
what this revealed was that g-sync could run without a dedicated g-sync scaler

225
00:17:04,120 --> 00:17:10,799
chip and in fact in notebooks it was speculated at the time that was how it

226
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:17,839
would be run because of power constraints and space constraints on

227
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:21,640
notebooks so um so that looks like what

228
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:24,520
has finally happened so there you go the

229
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:28,120
one that we actually have here in house is not from not from ASUS in fact we

230
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:33,480
didn't get it uh we didn't get it sampled by NVIDIA either it's um it's a

231
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:37,600
company called Sager or Sager I'm gonna I'll find out before I do my review what

232
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:41,720
the correct pronunciation is for it but um they they make laptops and they've

233
00:17:39,799 --> 00:17:46,720
got they've sent us a one of their one of their models that actually has a

234
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:50,120
4790k desktop CPU in it it's got a GTX

235
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:52,880
98m and it's got a 75 HZ variable

236
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:56,640
refresh rate 1080p IPS display in it that I have played around with a little

237
00:17:54,840 --> 00:18:01,080
bit now and I got to tell you guys gsync on mobile makes a lot of sense just like

238
00:17:59,159 --> 00:18:06,080
it makes sense on a desktop to me I love variable refresh rate and uh yeah it's a

239
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:13,360
great gaming experience so it uses embedded DisplayPort remember guys that

240
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:16,120
um that laptops have already had some

241
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:21,320
manner certain ones some manner of variable refresh rate for some time it

242
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:24,840
was used as a power saving feature so now it's uh so now it's using embedded

243
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:30,159
DisplayPort in order to enable this particular feature there's no power consuming chip required and it's

244
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:35,919
actually very similar to how AMD freesync functions on the desktop side

245
00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:41,520
so those two technologies should perform quite similarly on mobile now something

246
00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:45,240
that is not clear as of yet is whether

247
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:48,640
NVIDIA is going to enable g-sync moduel

248
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:50,799
Less g-sync on the desktop and adopt an

249
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:55,240
open standard or or do whatever else it is down the road but the sort of the

250
00:18:53,440 --> 00:19:00,600
word on the street and what NVIDIA has said publicly is that there's more that

251
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:05,240
they can do with the g-sync module than what they can do without the g-sync

252
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:10,919
module so mobile g-sync is going to be better than no g-sync or no free sync

253
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:18,039
but mobile gsync might not necessarily ever be able to be as good as desktop

254
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:19,600
g-sync so stay tuned for that let me

255
00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:23,640
just see if I'm missing anything else apparently Optimus is not available with

256
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:31,600
mobile g-sync yet since there's no support from Intel as of yet and I guess

257
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:33,520
that's pretty much it um yeah other than

258
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:41,559
that it's pretty much the way gsync works so AMD Fiji was somewhat unveiled

259
00:19:38,039 --> 00:19:43,960
at computex so this was posted by Dr

260
00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:49,559
deconstruct on the Forum let's go ahead and post this link in here hey look at

261
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,720
that I can get 4,000 of you to watch

262
00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:56,039
even if I don't have Luke maybe I should just get rid of him entirely cuz what do

263
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,960
we what do we get about 6,000 when we do have Luke yeah okay I guess he's still

264
00:19:57,679 --> 00:20:05,400
pulling his weight around here just kidding I I feel weird I feel weird

265
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:09,159
hosting the show without having Luke here accompanying me but I totally

266
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:15,440
understand he needs to sleep they've done a great job at the show uh let's go

267
00:20:11,679 --> 00:20:18,080
ahead and pull this up so this is video

268
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:24,039
cards.com but quite frankly there have been so many leaks and so many uh

269
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:30,240
there's so much speculation that all kind of points in the same direction that I think anyone's pretty much as

270
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:38,480
credible as anyone else when it comes to radon R9 Theory as it is rumored to be

271
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:41,360
going to be called so the current sort

272
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:49,840
of General consensus among rumors is that radon R9 390x and down are going to

273
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:53,159
be rebrands maybe not straight rebrands

274
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:55,039
because it was also revealed that amds

275
00:20:53,159 --> 00:21:01,480
oh and I'm going to screw it up because there's so many code names um I believe

276
00:20:58,159 --> 00:21:03,960
it was Tonga Tonga

277
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:12,320
384bit let's just have a quick look yes so AMD actually this is from

278
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:14,440
wccf Tech AMD's Tonga GPU which um again

279
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:20,559
this is off memory but I believe our buddy Scott Watson over at tech report

280
00:21:17,159 --> 00:21:25,120
was pretty damn sure was a

281
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:26,679
384bit memory controller uh capable chip

282
00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:31,080
uh even though the only card it's appeared in is a 256

283
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:35,760
memory controller card like memory interface card um it looks like if

284
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:42,840
that's who said it and I'm pretty darn sure it was it looks like he was right

285
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:45,600
so even though the current rumor is that

286
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:51,440
anything 390x and down is basically going to be re Badges of current

287
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,559
gpus we might get some curve balls

288
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:59,440
thrown in there especially if AMD decides to do a fully enabled Tonga so

289
00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:07,960
the rumor then is that the um Fiji GPU is going to appear in a

290
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,440
Halo type card much like NVIDIA's Titan

291
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:16,640
series and it's going to be called The Fury which if you've been following uh

292
00:22:12,679 --> 00:22:19,400
formerly ATI but now AMD graphics cards

293
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:24,360
for a really long time might be a bit of a familiar name Rage Fury anybody

294
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:29,279
remember those so it looks like this might be a bit of a throwback kind of

295
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:33,960
name to the old ATI dat but there you go it's pictured here Fiji

296
00:22:31,919 --> 00:22:37,760
makes a public appearance there's four stacks of high bandwidth memory remember

297
00:22:36,279 --> 00:22:42,200
guys that's one of the things that makes it super high bandwidth the fact that

298
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:47,919
they are able to put it right next to the GPU instead of having it take up a

299
00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:50,440
bunch of space on a board and uh there

300
00:22:47,919 --> 00:22:53,640
you go that's it being shown off by AMD so this is on video

301
00:22:54,159 --> 00:23:00,240
cards.com very cool um current current

302
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:04,200
rumors also suggest that Fiji is going to be quite a small graphics card and

303
00:23:02,679 --> 00:23:08,520
given that you don't need a bunch of room on the PCB it kind of makes sense

304
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:15,840
but uh you know what I kind of want to do a straw pull about this straw

305
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:19,559
pull do you guys feel like a smaller

306
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:22,640
graphics card um does it feel like

307
00:23:19,559 --> 00:23:26,640
you're getting less for your money does

308
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:29,480
a small graphics card make your

309
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:34,080
EP feel inadequate because it's not like

310
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:40,679
NVIDIA's never done this before I mean the GTX 670 was a a second from the top

311
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:45,720
tier card effectively and it had that tiny short PCB and then it had like that

312
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:50,760
that penis extension as I called it at the time plastic shroud extension that

313
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:59,080
made the card actually bigger that reduced compatibility with uh here let's

314
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:02,279
um okay so let's go with come up with a

315
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,720
nonsense option um so so NVIDIA's

316
00:24:02,279 --> 00:24:09,279
actually done that before but if you water cool so right so they hurt compatibility with cases in order to

317
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,720
make it like seem bigger and also to have room for the blower fan but that's

318
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:16,960
neither here nor there and guys who water cooled those things ended up with

319
00:24:15,159 --> 00:24:20,559
like this like badass looking motherboard and like huge RAM with

320
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:25,440
lights all over it and then this like ity bitty graphics card and it kind of

321
00:24:22,919 --> 00:24:29,360
like I almost felt like it was like a way to get you to buy a GTX 680 just to

322
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:34,320
get a decent size card so it would look cool in your system so I want to hear

323
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:37,200
from you guys does a small graphics card

324
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:40,960
make your EP feel inadequate so if you bought a Fiji for you know let's say

325
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:47,919
similar price let's say somewhere between GTX 980 TI pricing so you know

326
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:52,159
650 bucks and like titanex pricing so $1,000 would you feel like you got

327
00:24:49,799 --> 00:24:59,480
ripped off if it was small uh we've got 47% of you saying no it's no big deal

328
00:24:55,399 --> 00:25:03,080
doesn't matter uh we've got 35 5% of you

329
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:06,080
though saying that yes a small graphics

330
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:08,200
card makes me feel inadequate which is

331
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:14,000
which is pretty darn interesting with uh 18% of you voting for

332
00:25:10,919 --> 00:25:15,399
eyeliner which is great I mean if you

333
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:21,440
guys can wear it nearly as well as Johnny Depp then I feel pretty good for

334
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:24,520
you all right Microsoft explains what

335
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:27,559
you will lose by upgrading to Windows 10

336
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:29,039
this was posted by fuzzy crumpkin let's

337
00:25:27,559 --> 00:25:33,480
go ahead and copy the the link I can't believe we're like almost

338
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:38,720
half an hour into the show because I have so many topics today the original

339
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:44,120
article here is from The Verge so let's go ahead and pull that bad boy up Go

340
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:48,960
internet Microsoft explains what you'll lose because they're offering it and you

341
00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:53,159
guys have probably seen notifications in fact I'm screen sharing right now there

342
00:25:51,039 --> 00:26:00,720
you go so the process goes a little something like this get Windows 10

343
00:25:56,799 --> 00:26:03,240
Reserve okay install

344
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:06,559
enjoy blah blah blah blah blah blah blah so here they tell us a bunch of good

345
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,919
stuff about it and then you go ahead and you I think something here whatever I

346
00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:14,520
don't know I did it on another computer I don't understand how to do it anymore apparently learn more on Windows.com

347
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:18,120
whatever so the point is they're not really talking about some of the things

348
00:26:16,159 --> 00:26:22,520
that you are going to lose so Windows Media Center is going away so if you're

349
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:26,480
one of the seven people on Earth who uses Windows Media Center then you might

350
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:30,679
be a little bit disappointed and there is no downgrade that I'm aware of

351
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:34,840
Microsoft seems to be confident enough this is not that this is not a Vista and

352
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:39,559
people are not going to be clamoring to downgrade and then upgrade later if at

353
00:26:36,919 --> 00:26:45,080
all um new drivers will be required for

354
00:26:42,679 --> 00:26:50,080
floppy discs so if you were still using a floppy disc you might want to stick

355
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,720
with uh Windows 7 or Windows 8 Cortana

356
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:56,000
will only be available in the US UK China France Italy Germany and Spain at

357
00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:59,399
launch so Canada is getting no love although that's not necessarily

358
00:26:57,159 --> 00:27:05,799
something that upgraders lose since it's not like they had Catana anyway watching

359
00:27:02,159 --> 00:27:07,039
DVDs will require separate playback

360
00:27:05,799 --> 00:27:13,720
software so that's something that they've been including for quite some time and looks like will no longer be

361
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:20,039
included with that said I don't watch a ton of DVDs on my computer in

362
00:27:17,159 --> 00:27:23,919
fact most of the computers that I mostly care about these days are portable ones

363
00:27:22,279 --> 00:27:31,000
and I don't even have DVD drives in them in fact a lot of people are building desktops without DVD drives in them mine

364
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:34,720
actually has a DVD drive that plays CDs

365
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:37,320
DVDs HD DVDs and Blu-rays so I'm

366
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:41,679
equipped for any Optical media but the last time I used it was when I convinced

367
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,760
myself I was going to play uh Alice madness Returns and then I never got

368
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:49,760
around to it and then I eventually pulled it out of the drive because I was sick of it spinning up every time I

369
00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:54,760
turned on my computer and got annoyed so there you go maybe you use a DVD drive I

370
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:59,159
personally don't uh what else we got here uh Windows hello biometric

371
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:03,080
passwords we'll need infrared camera for facial recognition or a supported

372
00:28:00,559 --> 00:28:06,720
fingerprint reader and Xbox music and Xbox video streaming apps will be

373
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:11,640
constrained by region-based licenses uh Pro oh this is something

374
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:16,039
very interesting Pro and Enterprise editions will be able to defer updat so

375
00:28:14,519 --> 00:28:21,080
that is to say they'll be able to say yeah no I'm I'm not ready yet I'll take

376
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:23,559
an update later Windows 10 the normal

377
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:28,159
one for like normal people home people will not have that option updates will

378
00:28:26,679 --> 00:28:34,960
be downloaded and installed automatically once they are available

379
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:37,360
now a big part of me is upset about that

380
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:42,200
because from a productivity standpoint that can be super duper annoying and a

381
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:46,600
big part of me is upset about that because I don't like someone telling me

382
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:52,600
how to use my computer but a big part of me kind of goes H you know what they're

383
00:28:48,679 --> 00:28:54,240
right because how often is it if you

384
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:58,279
guys are you know what let's straw pull the crap out of this too because this is

385
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:02,720
kind of a big deal how often is it and I want to hear from the guys who do like

386
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:10,640
on the side or professional Tech work for like family or friends or in a store

387
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,640
um so Windows

388
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:17,399
updates mandatory yay or

389
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,919
nay yay nay

390
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:29,760
um how many of you guys have a machine

391
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:33,039
brought into your shop or given to you that's like oh it's really slow and it's

392
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:38,399
got lots of viruses and you kind of sit there and go

393
00:29:35,679 --> 00:29:43,559
well GE maybe if you'd allowed your computer to install an update once in

394
00:29:40,679 --> 00:29:50,440
the last I don't know 4 years you wouldn't be having this problem because

395
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:53,640
it's not necessarily about you it's

396
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:56,240
about most of the users out there and if

397
00:29:53,640 --> 00:30:04,120
Windows updates being rolled out more quickly means that it's less easy for

398
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,480
malware to propagate and for what for

399
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:11,279
computers to be compromised is that not good for us all as a whole I understand

400
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:16,640
that bandwidth constraints are a big problem for some people and I get that

401
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:22,840
but yeah geez I don't know looks like you guys are pretty divided on this as

402
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:25,159
well with 47% of you 48% figuring yay

403
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:30,279
you know let's make the mandatory 39% of you saying nay and 13% of you all

404
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:35,159
agreeing with each other that surfing is cool

405
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,720
so I wish that I could kind of go on a

406
00:30:35,159 --> 00:30:42,320
tie raade now and say this is the right thing this is the answer and they've got

407
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:47,000
it wrong or they've got it right but I don't I don't have a clear answer uh one

408
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:52,039
thing that I do know is that you know as a Professional

409
00:30:49,279 --> 00:30:56,480
Organization like here at at work you know as a pro

410
00:30:53,960 --> 00:31:00,559
user I might pay a little extra for a pro license to not have to you know just

411
00:30:58,519 --> 00:31:07,279
have our computers randomly install updates and shut down or whatever the

412
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:09,120
case may be so gee man I don't know ssds

413
00:31:07,279 --> 00:31:13,679
continue to get cheaper uh this was posted by on the Forum by E chondo let

414
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:20,679
me go ahead and post the link here

415
00:31:15,799 --> 00:31:23,840
SanDisk has a two terabyte SSD for

416
00:31:20,679 --> 00:31:25,279
$1,000 now 2 terab ssds are not

417
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:31,840
necessarily the newest thing in the world in fact we were talking on Wow

418
00:31:27,679 --> 00:31:36,360
about about a 6 terb SSD not that long

419
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:40,000
ago 2 terab for $11,000 means

420
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:42,200
50s per gig and I remember everyone

421
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:46,200
wanted that $1 per gig Mark that was what everyone wanted and then it

422
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:52,360
happened and then ssds exploded and went mainstream um the fact that we're seeing

423
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:55,760
this now if I'm a hard drive maker boy

424
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:58,679
am I afraid because Mo's law dictates

425
00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:02,679
that this is going to be half the price in I believe it's uh I believe it's a

426
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:08,519
year so every what is it every year we double the transistor density orah so

427
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:14,760
this should be half the price in a year maybe even cheaper once SanDisk has a

428
00:32:10,919 --> 00:32:16,679
little bit of competition here that is

429
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:20,240
incredible because it's not that everyone needs a two terab boot Drive in

430
00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:24,519
fact I don't think everyone needs a two terab boot drive and I think that the

431
00:32:22,559 --> 00:32:29,399
amount of storage that people need as a boot Drive is going to it's going to

432
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:33,200
intersect with the speed at which ssds are increasing in capacity so it's going

433
00:32:31,159 --> 00:32:36,320
to happen even sooner ssds aren't going to have to catch up to hard drives so

434
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:40,880
people are going to need their bulk storage they're going to have a Nas or they're going to have a DropBox account

435
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:47,240
that they pay way too much for whatever else the case may be they're going to have their bulk magnetic storage and

436
00:32:44,039 --> 00:32:52,000
then they're only going to need I think

437
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:54,200
512 gigs is lots and one tbte is as much

438
00:32:52,000 --> 00:33:01,159
as we'll ever need and don't quote me on that I know but one tbte was kind of a

439
00:32:58,279 --> 00:33:04,840
magic point for hard drives when people that was like the time when people

440
00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:09,399
stopped caring about new hard drives one tab was a super magic time for hard

441
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:14,200
drives I think affordable one tbte drives is going to be a super magic time

442
00:33:11,559 --> 00:33:18,679
for ssds as well because that's enough to have a handful of games installed

443
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,799
even if you're a gamer and if you're going to start streaming games over the

444
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:28,200
Internet especially for the ones where twitch responsiveness is not that important that storage space locally

445
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:30,840
could become even less relevant um it's enough to have a lot of games installed

446
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:34,679
it's enough to have a fair chunk of movies you can always have an external

447
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:43,320
drive for some additional movies or other media wow super scary so it's the

448
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:45,559
extreme 900 portable SSD it has a 1.92

449
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:51,000
tbte formatted size there will also be 480 and 960 gig versions and has a

450
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:55,000
maximum performance rating of 850 megabytes per second doesn't specify

451
00:33:52,799 --> 00:34:00,799
reads or rights it's equipped with a USB 3.1 interface and they'll have a

452
00:33:57,159 --> 00:34:02,320
threeyear warranty on these new drives

453
00:34:00,799 --> 00:34:05,679
so stay tuned guys cuz anything that shows up in an external drive is going

454
00:34:03,919 --> 00:34:10,159
to be in an internal drive and as performance continues to scale ssds are

455
00:34:08,399 --> 00:34:13,079
going to just keep make more and more and more sense all the time and you know

456
00:34:11,879 --> 00:34:18,240
what's funny is because back when ssds were still

457
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:23,520
gaining traction there would be every SSD video I did was just full of

458
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:27,720
comments about how nobody needs an SSD and it doesn't matter and don't you have

459
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:33,000
2 seconds to wait and now people are f finally mostly clued in to the fact that

460
00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:39,520
it's way more than 2 seconds and yes it's worth it the tradeoff is worth it

461
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,760
it's huge it could be 30 seconds when

462
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:46,560
you're launching an application depending on what else you've got going on on your computer at a time and that

463
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:52,399
could be 30 seconds now and then 30 seconds a minute from now it's a big

464
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:55,359
deal um yeah I'm a huge SSD Advocate as

465
00:34:52,399 --> 00:35:03,280
you guys probably know at this point um there's a USB drive with USB type A and

466
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:05,680
type c although the uh I actually hadn't

467
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:12,000
looked at the article for this one yet because I assumed that I knew what we

468
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:13,200
were talking about here we go I assumed

469
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:19,119
I knew what we were talking about and I thought it was something from another company but apparently uh this is

470
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:25,119
SanDisk showing off one at computex this is the way that USB type-c is going to

471
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:27,720
go mainstream having it also on drives

472
00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:32,560
that feature USB type A so you have that compatibility with something like a

473
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:35,040
Macbook as well as with the whatever

474
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:38,839
other computer you own that obviously doesn't have a typc connector since you

475
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:43,480
probably don't own both a Chromebook Pixel latest gen and a Macbook uh so a

476
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:48,320
way to actually get data onto it in order to put onto your MacBook um this

477
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:53,119
is going to be really common I think until USB type-c just get goes

478
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:57,200
completely ubiquitous and all the other connectors pretty much go away but one

479
00:35:55,280 --> 00:36:01,319
of the things that I'm happy to see is not every everyone is diving head first

480
00:35:58,839 --> 00:36:06,599
into just USB type-c devices no that seems to be mostly Apple that wants to

481
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:12,240
do that because as much as type- C has been vetted in you know a laboratory

482
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:14,280
somewhere it has not been field tested

483
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:17,640
yet and before I have a bunch of motherboards and laptops that only have

484
00:36:16,079 --> 00:36:22,680
type-c connectors on them I would love to have a little bit of experience

485
00:36:19,839 --> 00:36:22,680
actually using the

486
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:29,359
thing all right so Intel has been

487
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:33,119
showing off Broadwell uh this was posted by

488
00:36:30,319 --> 00:36:38,800
zle let's go ahead and copy the link here uh so Broadwell for desktops we've

489
00:36:35,839 --> 00:36:43,640
already seen Broadwell in the corm so we've got Broadwell for mobile devices

490
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:49,640
already but of course Broadwell for desktops is kind of a big deal or is it

491
00:36:47,720 --> 00:36:54,280
so Tom's Hardware has got their review up of the

492
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:56,839
5775c and the

493
00:36:54,280 --> 00:37:02,520
5675c and basically what it comes down to is it

494
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:06,319
Toms can you not please uh basically

495
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:11,119
what it comes down to is yep performance

496
00:37:06,319 --> 00:37:15,079
has not really changed a lot in terms of

497
00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:16,440
um you know gaming with the discreet GPU

498
00:37:15,079 --> 00:37:23,280
I sure wish this would work a little better for me here but the onboard

499
00:37:20,119 --> 00:37:26,880
Graphics looks like it has pretty much

500
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:29,839
killed any possibility of oh for crying

501
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:36,200
out loud any possibility of discreet grade low-end graphics cards existing

502
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:39,839
pretty well ever again so I'm going to make sure I'm on the right dang page

503
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:43,839
here there we go so let's have a look at these performance numbers from Toms good

504
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:49,040
guys over there as well actually same ownership as uh as an onch these days

505
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:55,640
look at that so that's BioShock Infinite at 1080p low settings mind you know

506
00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:59,440
antialiasing running at 86 frames per

507
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,440
second average

508
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:08,839
on the core i5 that's incredible I mean AMD was King

509
00:38:06,119 --> 00:38:15,400
of the integrated Graphics ever since they launched the Apu concept but Intel

510
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:19,560
quietly slowly but surely has been improving the integrated graphics on

511
00:38:17,359 --> 00:38:26,160
their mainstream chips as well to the point where now holy cow if I'm AMD I am

512
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:30,920
a little bit scared because people have always people ask me what CPU to buy all

513
00:38:28,359 --> 00:38:35,599
the time and if they're using integrated graphics for some light gaming or it's

514
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:39,760
like a computer at Grandma's house and the grandkids come over once in a while

515
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:42,359
maybe they you know bring a game and they're staying over for the weekend and

516
00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:46,319
they don't want it to just completely not run at all I'd say get an

517
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:55,319
APU wow if they don't have that going for them anymore that is that is deeply

518
00:38:52,520 --> 00:39:01,160
worrying if you are if you're into AMD continuing to make sense on the lowend

519
00:38:58,359 --> 00:39:04,720
onboard Graphics scene now I can't find it in the Tom's article right now but

520
00:39:03,079 --> 00:39:11,359
there's actually some pretty good die shots out there of Broadwell and how

521
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:14,160
like literally half half of the die is

522
00:39:11,359 --> 00:39:19,280
not CPU which should make sense given that we know that Intel can cram you

523
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:22,599
know eight cores in an Enthusiast grade CPU these days so the fact that they're

524
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:25,599
only putting four on the mainstream ones means they probably had a lot of room

525
00:39:24,119 --> 00:39:31,240
left over here's a scary thought too oh wow

526
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:37,040
imagine this for a moment if Intel actually did like a dedicated chip for

527
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:42,160
gamers where they it had no onboard Graphics but it actually SL cuz AMD's

528
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:49,800
done this before on the fm2 platform I believe or fm2 plus they did non apus

529
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:51,720
they did just CPUs imagine if Intel did

530
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:56,599
that where they took something like a Broadwell or the upcoming Skylake and

531
00:39:54,599 --> 00:40:00,079
they just chopped off the GPU and did a pure gaming

532
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:06,599
it would cost them half as okay obviously plus R&D but the actual

533
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:09,760
material cost would be half what the one

534
00:40:06,599 --> 00:40:11,720
with the GPU built into it would be how

535
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:16,119
scary is that if Intel could deliver 4790k performance to anyone who's

536
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:20,359
planning to put a graphics card in for half the price for

537
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:24,960
$149.99 I don't even know what AMD would sell at that point but I don't think

538
00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:27,920
Intel's really that into putting AMD out

539
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:32,280
of business anyway so I guess it yeah doesn't it's really a non-issue um

540
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:37,400
speaking of non-issues hopefully you guys don't have an issue with us doing

541
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:42,960
our sponsors for the week so sponsor number one is linda.com and if you guys

542
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:45,400
don't know what linda.com is then you

543
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:49,200
probably don't watch this show enough so shame on you and if you do know what

544
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:52,119
linda.com is but you're not using it then I will refresh your memory it's

545
00:40:50,599 --> 00:40:58,440
used by millions of people around the world isn't that incredible like how

546
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:00,839
massive an online video education thing

547
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:04,640
can be and how Google can't even figure out how to make YouTube profitable with

548
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:09,599
so much educational content on it I mean I guess Linda differentiates by well

549
00:41:07,119 --> 00:41:13,280
curating the content a lot and ensuring that the courses are taught by industry

550
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:17,800
experts that you can trust by making sure the production values are good by

551
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:21,040
focusing on particular verticals so like you're not going to go on linda.com to

552
00:41:19,359 --> 00:41:24,880
learn how to make a bead necklace you can go on linda.com to learn about

553
00:41:22,599 --> 00:41:29,520
business learn about um Adobe applications like Photoshop or Premiere

554
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:33,440
so video editing uh learning things like office productivity Suites if you're

555
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:38,359
looking to you know get a new job or get back in the workforce um so I guess it

556
00:41:36,839 --> 00:41:41,960
differentiates itself in that way but plans start at 25 bucks a month and

557
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:45,920

today and start learning our second

561
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:03,240
sponsor and these guys have been with us forever through through the good and the

562
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:06,319
bad Dollar Shave Club they let us do pretty much anything in our sponsor

563
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:10,440
spots maybe today I won't even talk about shaving at all I'll just talk

564
00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:13,640
about butt wiping which would actually be on topic because they they do have

565
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:16,880
their one wipe Charlie's peppermint seted butt wipes for no but seriously

566
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:22,280
Dollar Shave Club we've done like some crazy stuff we did a how-to basic parody

567
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:25,440
um which they were just like wow that was uh pretty out there maybe it would

568
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:28,520
be best if you didn't do that again so maybe I won't do anything that crazy

569
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:34,720
today just tell you guys what the point of Dollar Shave Club is it's the turn

570
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:37,000
your brain off and still look good

571
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:42,720
service for taking care of your face once a month for just a few bucks you

572
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:44,960
get razors you can get their aftershave

573
00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:48,119
you can get their Dr Carver shave butter which goes on clear so you can see what

574
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:53,520
you're doing and you can be using a fresh razor every week instead of like

575
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:58,000
just dragging a dull you know scrap of metal across your face or worrying about

576
00:42:55,880 --> 00:43:01,400
the hassle of remembering to razors or specifically going out for them when you

577
00:42:59,359 --> 00:43:05,359
need one and buying them at a store where hilariously at least here in

578
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,160
Canada and presumably in the States since this is one of the things that

579
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:12,240
Dollar Shave Club has in their kit for how to pitch Dollar Shave Club um since

580
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:16,520
a lot of stores put the razors behind locking key since they are such a theft

581
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:19,880
magnet because they're too expensive but with Dollar Shave Club you don't have to

582
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:22,760
worry about other people stealing them causing you to have to pay more because

583
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:27,359
they keep everything in a warehouse and ship it to you when you need it so head

584
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:31,760
over to dollarshaveclub.com to start shaving time and shaving money

585
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:35,680
which leads us to our last one fresh books and Luke's not here to try and tie

586
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:38,480
all of these sponsors together which is fine because I don't think fresh books

587
00:43:37,079 --> 00:43:42,520
is really that related to Dollar Shave Club it's more for people who run their

588
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:47,599
own business whether you're someone who needs to shave or someone like me who

589
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:51,119
like could you know throw a Dollar Shave Club razor across their face once every

590
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:56,319
3 days and you guys would never know the difference fresh books is for small

591
00:43:53,760 --> 00:44:02,319
business owners who want to use a solution that lets them spend their time

592
00:43:59,240 --> 00:44:04,160
actually doing work and making money

593
00:44:02,319 --> 00:44:08,359
instead of figuring out how to account for the money and actually get paid so

594
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:13,640
it's a cloud-based accounting tool that lets you do things like log your hours

595
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:16,280
for a job um send bills out to your

596
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:20,119
clients for the job see that they've actually received it so if they're like

597
00:44:18,119 --> 00:44:25,280
oh yeah gez sorry I didn't pay oh I didn't get it blah BL

598
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:27,160
no no no they let you take care of that

599
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:31,800
and they actually allow you to build online so instead of running around

600
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:34,119
dealing with paper this and and you know

601
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:37,880
writing down that use fresh books to keep yourself organized keep your

602
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:41,640
clients paying you so you can spend your time doing what makes you money instead

603
00:44:40,359 --> 00:44:45,559
of spending your time in front of your computer at the end of the day trying to

604
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:49,760
sort all this stuff out when you're just exhausted and would rather just sleep so

605
00:44:48,359 --> 00:44:54,680

hear about us so let's move on to our next

608
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:09,559
topic which I straight up don't know what it is cuz I actually forgot to look

609
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:13,319
at what our next topic is oh this is a really crappy one but is actually

610
00:45:12,079 --> 00:45:19,119
related to something that we've been talking about a fair bit on the show lately I was posted by exia on the Forum

611
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:24,520
I'm going to go ahead and post this in twitch but the headline here is actually

612
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:32,119
kind of heartbreaking it's uh it's an article from mn.com um dis you terminated your job uh

613
00:45:29,079 --> 00:45:35,839
by the way can you please um train your

614
00:45:32,119 --> 00:45:38,040
replacement so last take after layoff at

615
00:45:35,839 --> 00:45:43,359
Disney train forign replacement so yeah pretty much employees uh some of which

616
00:45:40,119 --> 00:45:44,359
have worked at Disney for 10 years um

617
00:45:43,359 --> 00:45:49,000
and there's there's a really heartbreaking story about one guy that

618
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:54,400
actually had a performance review from his direct supervisor after he' been

619
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:59,520
told by that person's boss that he was being terminated and had to train his

620
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:03,559
cheaper import replacement that said that he was being recommended for a

621
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:09,920
raise and that he had uh saved the company a ton of money and it was like a

622
00:46:05,359 --> 00:46:12,960
really positive performance review um

623
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,400
so anyway Data Systems employees they

624
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:18,079
monitored the computers in industrial buildings nearby making sure millions of

625
00:46:16,119 --> 00:46:21,240
ticket sales store purchases and hotel reservations went through without a

626
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:24,520
hitch uh some of them thought the meetings with their manager had been

627
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:28,839
called since they were receiving a bonus for their Stellar work in actuality 250

628
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:35,400
employees were called in and told they would be laid off the jobs were transferred to uh people on temporary

629
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:41,319
visas for highly skilled technical work uh brought in by an Outsourcing firm the

630
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:43,480
jobs were so over the next 3 months some

631
00:46:41,319 --> 00:46:46,839
employees were required to train their Replacements to do the job that they

632
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,880
lost so for the first month their replacement Shadows them for the second

633
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:53,000
month they do it side by side and for the third month they basically don't do

634
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:59,119
anything and just kind of watch their job being done by their new person so if

635
00:46:56,040 --> 00:47:00,720
they remained for the 90 days to train

636
00:46:59,119 --> 00:47:06,640
their replacement they were offered a stay bonus of 10% of the severance pay

637
00:47:03,559 --> 00:47:06,640
on top of their severance

638
00:47:08,359 --> 00:47:13,480
pay yeah so this is this is this there

639
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:20,520
there's like there so there's a couple things happening number one is outsourcing is still very much real and

640
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:22,880
number two is the crazy thing about this

641
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:27,960
is it's nothing compared to when Disney automates that job who knows how long

642
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:33,440
from now I mean talked about the McDonald's restaurant that is opening

643
00:47:30,119 --> 00:47:34,920
with no employees whatsoever on wo a

644
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:39,040
while ago I shouldn't say whatsoever they have a skeleton crew to oversee the

645
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:42,880
machines but everything from taking orders to Making burgers to delivering

646
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:48,520
the burger to the customer is going to be handled by robots and what that is

647
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:52,960
going to mean because you know I got to look at something like that as you know

648
00:47:51,319 --> 00:47:57,400
like is McDonald's just shooting themselves in the foot I mean who eats

649
00:47:54,960 --> 00:48:00,119
at McDonald's if not like and no no offense if you eat at

650
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:04,839
McDonald's I eat at McDonald's from time to time too like it's not like but I

651
00:48:01,839 --> 00:48:09,200
mean who relies on McDonald's if not

652
00:48:04,839 --> 00:48:11,800
your lower income people so and like I I

653
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:16,960
actually my my badminton doubles partner was a longtime McDonald's employee he

654
00:48:14,359 --> 00:48:20,559
ate like almost every meal at McDonald's so you're going to go you're so you're

655
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:25,200
McDonald's and you're going to basically not just take away jobs and income from

656
00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:29,920
but you're going to piss off all these lower income people who presumably have

657
00:48:27,079 --> 00:48:32,280
families and friends who you know maybe there's a couple lower income people

658
00:48:31,319 --> 00:48:38,160
there as well you're going to go and piss off all these people for the sake of saving a couple bucks who's going to

659
00:48:35,720 --> 00:48:43,160
eat at your restaurant anymore and maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm completely wrong and

660
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:48,599
maybe McDonald's is business is going to completely take off because the robots

661
00:48:45,559 --> 00:48:51,440
are faster uh more sanitary they make

662
00:48:48,599 --> 00:48:57,559
fewer errors um I I don't I don't know I don't know it just

663
00:48:54,079 --> 00:48:59,520
um I don't see myself ever doing

664
00:48:57,559 --> 00:49:04,520
I also am not in a position where I'm running you know a huge multi-billion

665
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:08,880
dollar multinational corporation where every penny I save literally results in

666
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:16,440
you know tens or hundreds of millions of dollars but I I like having a team of

667
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:21,760
people that's you know paid a living wage and is and is happy with the work

668
00:49:19,359 --> 00:49:27,119
that they're doing and I just uh I don't know it just it grosses me out to see to

669
00:49:24,079 --> 00:49:31,440
see stuff like this

670
00:49:27,119 --> 00:49:34,280
um speaking of oh man so fully automated

671
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:41,480
this was posted by boozo on the Forum and ASUS has rolled out the first fully

672
00:49:38,559 --> 00:49:46,559
automated graphics card production line and this fascinates me from a

673
00:49:43,720 --> 00:49:51,680
technological standpoint but ties very well into this last topic and uh we've

674
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:55,920
got the original article here one of them from Tom's Hardware I've actually

675
00:49:53,839 --> 00:49:59,960
asked isus to give me a lot more details on this and I would I would actually

676
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:04,400
love to get my hands on one of the graphics cards made with it because I

677
00:50:02,079 --> 00:50:09,200
don't know if you guys know this but graphics cards up till now still had

678
00:50:06,799 --> 00:50:13,960
some hand soldering and I believe some of the QA was actually done by hand so

679
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:19,119
their new production method is an industry first and should deliver more

680
00:50:16,559 --> 00:50:24,440
reliable higher quality graphics cards than before by completely taking out the

681
00:50:22,559 --> 00:50:27,440
human element so I hopefully this is going to go ahead and load a larger

682
00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:36,280
image at some point here dity doop there you go look how

683
00:50:30,599 --> 00:50:40,280
beautiful that PCB is so the the like

684
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:45,240
the geeky Tech in me goes holy cow that

685
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:47,920
is sex sfic I mean it is so clean

686
00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:47,920
everything is

687
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:57,160
perfect but ASUS isn't going to give you a discount on it I'm sure and I mean as

688
00:50:55,760 --> 00:51:01,240
much as you know some some people might go well you know soldering components on

689
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:06,319
graphics cards at the last stage of production is a crappy job it was a job

690
00:51:03,599 --> 00:51:10,799
for someone um and they do not have it anymore so uh what's I mean but this is

691
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:15,520
like so again we're my my inner geek kind of goes holy

692
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:21,599
crap that's awesome because one of the things that you can achieve here is less

693
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:23,319
oxidation on the graphics card because

694
00:51:21,599 --> 00:51:27,079
you can actually produce them in an environment without oxygen

695
00:51:27,359 --> 00:51:32,880
so what so my graphics card could last for 20

696
00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:38,359
years that seems like a pretty good thing I don't know man um so there's

697
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:43,760
some speculation that this could lead to longer warranties uh better reliability

698
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:49,119
like all this cool stuff uh the so the first card produced uh using Auto

699
00:51:46,599 --> 00:51:55,319
extreme was the 20th anniversary edition card so I've actually asked to for a

700
00:51:51,319 --> 00:51:58,520
sample so we can check this out in

701
00:51:55,319 --> 00:51:58,520
person um

702
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:10,040
so there's a really good thread on the Forum this was posted by Mech 77 I'm

703
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:10,040
going to go ahead and post this here

704
00:52:11,119 --> 00:52:17,160
um all right let me just sorry I I'm a

705
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:21,599
little slower paced than usual I'm trying to keep up here without my uh

706
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:27,640
without my lovely co-host but uh basically there's a YouTube video to

707
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:29,440
watch about direct x2's multi GPU

708
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:33,240
rendering so there's a demo here from oxide

709
00:52:30,839 --> 00:52:36,960
games um and you guys should definitely check that out I'll post that link in

710
00:52:34,839 --> 00:52:41,640
the in the thread that goes up after wow but so currently the way that multi gpus

711
00:52:39,599 --> 00:52:45,760
are combined is that each GPU and a in a dual card config takes turn rendering

712
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:50,880
takes turns rendering each frame and back in the early days of multi-GPU uh

713
00:52:47,799 --> 00:52:53,400
Crossfire and SLI it was actually done a

714
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:56,599
little bit differently so you could have alternate frame rendering and that was

715
00:52:54,960 --> 00:53:00,359
usually what would work best but some times you could do tiled stuff and there

716
00:52:58,119 --> 00:53:04,040
there were actually other modes um but the way that that works is both gpus

717
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:10,040
have to be nearly identical run at the same clock speed and have the same data

718
00:53:06,720 --> 00:53:12,319
in their video memory in uh resulting in

719
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:16,760
redundancies and limitations in terms of which cards can be used and how the

720
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:21,599
resources can be used so something that's a huge confusion point and that

721
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:27,000
NVIDIA and AMD frankly don't help people with is that if you buy a card like a

722
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:31,400
GTX 690 okay which is

723
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:34,359
pretty much two 670 680 sort of cards um

724
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:37,720
it'll it'll call itself what oh crap 69 new what was that a six gig

725
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:44,119
card or was it a 4 gig card whatever I don't care um I think it was a 4 gig

726
00:53:42,359 --> 00:53:49,520
card so it'll call itself a 4 gig card because there's technically 4 gabt of

727
00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:51,520
GPU memory on board but actually usably

728
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:57,319
there's only two gigs because it has to have two copies um it has to have two

729
00:53:54,640 --> 00:54:05,359
copies of the data in memory and so yes that was a 4 gig card um so now each GPU

730
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:09,839
can render only a specific part of the frame and video memory can be stacked as

731
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:14,280
each card is actually working on a separate aspect of the frame so it's up

732
00:54:11,599 --> 00:54:19,680
to the developer to implement this which means pretty much and the video actually

733
00:54:17,079 --> 00:54:24,920
shows an integrated GPU being used in conjunction with a dedicated GPU so here

734
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:31,280
we go so which means that in my mind we're pretty much not going to see this

735
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:33,040
implemented very well if at all but it's

736
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:37,960
a very cool piece of technology for the future I'm just trying to find bloody

737
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:40,319
hell well whatever um you can check out this video and I'll definitely link it

738
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:45,160
if you want to get a little bit more detail in terms of how it works uh very

739
00:54:42,839 --> 00:54:49,559
cool Tech not sure if it'll have any practical use just because if you guys

740
00:54:46,839 --> 00:54:53,640
already look at how broken established stuff like SLI that's been around for

741
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:58,319
years that NVIDIA is actively working on you look at how well that's working in

742
00:54:55,799 --> 00:55:02,480
some Modern games and you kind of go oh crap cuz quite frankly is NVIDIA going

743
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:07,319
to have any incentive to help a game developer implement this no is AMD going

744
00:55:05,599 --> 00:55:11,920
to want to do it maybe but hard to

745
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:17,559
say um this I actually talked about a little

746
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:23,799
bit here we go this I actually talked about a little

747
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:26,599
bit in my 980 TI video but

748
00:55:23,799 --> 00:55:30,559
um this could be a big problem this is this is definitely this is from tech

749
00:55:28,079 --> 00:55:35,440
power up here and was originally posted let me just grab that op here uh was

750
00:55:33,240 --> 00:55:40,359
originally posted on the Forum by big stuns this could be a big problem for

751
00:55:38,559 --> 00:55:45,559
AMD over the next little bit here I don't know if you guys are going to

752
00:55:42,119 --> 00:55:47,640
remember this but um I'm not even sure

753
00:55:45,559 --> 00:55:54,680
if I remember this correctly I'm trying to remember who had the direct X1

754
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:58,480
Advantage I want to say AMD uh first

755
00:55:54,680 --> 00:56:03,160
DirectX 11 card I want to say it was

756
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:07,240
6000 series I really don't

757
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:11,000
remember I suck well whatever the point

758
00:56:07,240 --> 00:56:13,319
is um having an advantage in terms of

759
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:17,480
what level of direct de is supported by your cards maybe AMD was doing 11.1

760
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:22,599
first or something like that someone's going to correct me thank you in advance

761
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:29,559
um having an advantage in terms of your direct X support level can be a huge

762
00:56:26,839 --> 00:56:34,160
selling point for gamers and whether it actually translates into something

763
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:36,720
meaningful for the person who owns that card that's like the first one to

764
00:56:35,559 --> 00:56:41,000
support directx9 um is highly debatable I mean I

765
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:48,079
know AMD had an advantage back in the DirectX 9 days um when it was the 9000

766
00:56:44,720 --> 00:56:50,520
series versus the FX series um but that

767
00:56:48,079 --> 00:56:55,000
was a whole other issue because uh not only were the FX 5800 series like not

768
00:56:53,039 --> 00:56:59,119
even properly direct X they were just kind of sucked in general so ATI was

769
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:04,039
selling a lot more cards at the time just on the sheer Merit of their performance in direct X8 games at the

770
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:07,960
time and that's that's that's a big issue is like whether there's a real

771
00:57:05,720 --> 00:57:15,039
advantage to owning that first DirectX 12.1 card is yet to be seen because

772
00:57:11,599 --> 00:57:18,119
DirectX 12.1 capable games might show up

773
00:57:15,039 --> 00:57:19,760
and a GTX 980 could look like a joke

774
00:57:18,119 --> 00:57:24,599
even running it with those features on and actually we need you know 10,000 80s

775
00:57:23,359 --> 00:57:29,920
in order to really get the most out of it anyway but

776
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:33,119
that will sell Gamers on games and

777
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:35,240
DirectX 12 is looking like yes we'll

778
00:57:33,119 --> 00:57:40,160
have support on pretty much any DirectX 10 card or newer but that doesn't mean

779
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:45,599
we have all the support so you're going to have the lowlevel uh access for game

780
00:57:43,559 --> 00:57:49,000
developers to get more out of the hardware that's great you're going to

781
00:57:47,039 --> 00:57:54,119
have that low CPU overhead on on pretty much the entire backlog there but what

782
00:57:51,079 --> 00:57:56,359
you won't have is some pretty cool new

783
00:57:54,119 --> 00:58:00,200
rendering features so one of them is volume tiled resources so this is an

784
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:05,680
evolution of tiled resources so that is basically reusing resources rather than

785
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:09,720
restoring them or rendering them all the time so this is volume tiled resources

786
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:16,200
are you jumping in because you want to talk directex 12.1 or just in

787
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:20,839
general hi are you guys doing something

788
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:22,240
to me yeah oh no okay oh that was Ed he

789
00:58:20,839 --> 00:58:29,039
said hi thanks Ed um so volume tiled resources and and

790
00:58:27,079 --> 00:58:33,359
this loads the entire texture to memory not only just along X and Y axis but

791
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:37,079
also a third dimension so this is like a performance Improvement so while it's a

792
00:58:35,319 --> 00:58:41,119
rendering technique it could be something that just straight up improves

793
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:44,400
performance conservative rasterization so that is an a means of drawing

794
00:58:42,799 --> 00:58:48,440
polygons with additional pixels that makes it easier for two polygons to

795
00:58:46,599 --> 00:58:53,480
interact with each other like you know how like the characters you know

796
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:57,200
shoulder armor will just like dip into their shoulder from time to time this

797
00:58:55,599 --> 00:59:01,200
could help with stuff like that and raster ordered views which is a means to

798
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:05,920
optimize raster loads in the order in which they appear in an object so

799
00:59:03,119 --> 00:59:09,839
practical applications include improved Shadows so these are only going to be

800
00:59:08,039 --> 00:59:13,559
supported are you joining me or yeah yeah sure come on in we've got Nick

801
00:59:11,319 --> 00:59:19,200
joining us so these are only features that are going to work on cards that

802
00:59:16,599 --> 00:59:26,119
support DirectX 12core like feature level one so that is Maxwell not 780 not

803
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:33,720
750 Ti is my understanding so second gen Maxwell uh 960 970 980 and Titan X and

804
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:36,720
980 TI and then AMD's Tonga and then

805
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:38,559
presumably Fiji which is a card that's

806
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:42,799
going to be inaccessible to most people thanks to its price anyway cuz what we

807
00:59:41,319 --> 00:59:48,760
don't know is how much it costs but what we do know is that it's not cheap right

808
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:50,599
so um what do you got do you want to

809
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:54,200
talk uh do you want to talk 65 core smartphone yeah yeah let's talk about

810
00:59:52,559 --> 01:00:02,440
the 65 core smartphone I thought this was pretty funny um so Intel created a

811
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:05,799
mock 65 core smartphone where uh one of

812
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:07,280
their principal Engineers franois ped

813
01:00:05,799 --> 01:00:13,480
Noel you're actually it's a little bit off frame here I'll move over there we

814
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:14,799
go that's franois ped Noel uh he made

815
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:18,760
remarks during an Intel benchmarking session at computex on Thursday that

816
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:23,640
this is the world's first 65 core smartphone he said more than a server uh

817
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:31,119
but what it really was was the what was it four core uh Zen phone is it yeah and

818
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:35,039
then a 61 core xon that he essentially

819
01:00:31,119 --> 01:00:36,760
just taped to the back of it so um kind

820
01:00:35,039 --> 01:00:42,839
of taking pot shots at the competition a little bit after the whole Deca core

821
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:46,440
thing from mediatech um and you know

822
01:00:42,839 --> 01:00:50,240
what I agree with Intel 100% that the

823
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:51,839
core race on particularly mobile is

824
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:55,319
really silly right now and I think there's one other major smartphone maker

825
01:00:54,200 --> 01:01:01,480
I'm trying to remember what they're called what are they starts with an A starts

826
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:06,599
with an A they only have dual core smartphones even though everyone else is

827
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:09,920
going quad o right Apple I think Apple

828
01:01:06,599 --> 01:01:12,839
also agrees that we don't need a core

829
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:17,880
count race in smartphones right now on PCS where we're finally getting

830
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:23,079
multi-threaded workloads whether it's uh 3D rendering or video outputting or you

831
01:01:20,839 --> 01:01:27,559
know uh directx12 coming and giving us finally some some multi-threading

832
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:32,720
awareness for games on desktops yes multicore makes sense and has made sense

833
01:01:29,359 --> 01:01:35,599
for quite some time in Mobile we need

834
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:41,720
strong single cores for a long time still and so a 65 core smartphone would

835
01:01:39,359 --> 01:01:45,400
be a little silly a 10 core smartphone is probably a little silly unless the

836
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:49,760
strategy would be a super strong dual core in like eight super low power

837
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:53,279
auxiliary cores or whatever the case may be that's kind of Intel's point right is

838
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:58,000
that you're not going to be able to push 10 cores in a form factor for a

839
01:01:54,920 --> 01:02:00,400
smartphone like it's going to be one to

840
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:03,279
two cores that are doing all the work and then the other eight are just there

841
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:07,119
for marketing purposes essentially just like look at how many cores we have yeah

842
01:02:05,359 --> 01:02:10,839
cuz there are implementations that make sense like like a big small

843
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:15,520
implementation where I mean we've even seen this octacore processors that have

844
01:02:13,359 --> 01:02:18,520
so there's four big ones and four small ones so the phone can literally turn off

845
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:25,319
the big ones when you're not doing anything intensive um and Intel has has

846
01:02:22,319 --> 01:02:26,839
uh quadcore smartphone processors so so

847
01:02:25,319 --> 01:02:31,880
there's that um but yeah we don't need 10 and it'll

848
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:36,720
be a long time if ever that we need more than four and I should I with ever

849
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:42,200
asterisk at some point I'm sure we will um I don't think that'll be during the

850
01:02:39,319 --> 01:02:47,000
Silicon age though yeah yeah it might take something completely different to

851
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:52,200
come along in the future um so what do we got

852
01:02:48,079 --> 01:02:54,359
next uh official valve steam machine

853
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:59,079
pre-orders to reach some customers October 16th this was posted by Good

854
01:02:56,319 --> 01:03:02,680
Bites oh and that last one was posted by oh shoot I had I actually had to open

855
01:03:00,799 --> 01:03:08,079
the article here to see who posted it yeah I'm not sure uh I want to give you

856
01:03:05,359 --> 01:03:11,039
credit H fuzzy yellow so let's go ahead and pull this one up this one the

857
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:16,880
original article here is from polygon and it looks like official steam

858
01:03:14,079 --> 01:03:22,480
machines are actually a thing but this is not the kind of steam machine that

859
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:26,720
tickles my Enthusiast funny bone this

860
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:30,279
looks like pretty much a collaboration

861
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:32,119
with Alienware to just have Alienware

862
01:03:30,279 --> 01:03:36,640
steam machine be the official steam machine and so uh it's going to be

863
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:40,079
pretty low power it's not going to be particularly

864
01:03:38,319 --> 01:03:44,520
upgradeable um

865
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:49,039
yeah so I don't I don't I don't know what to say steam controller's coming

866
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:52,039
out yeah steam controller it'll have a custom graphics core that'll perform at

867
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:56,480
about the level of an 860m so if you want to play anything

868
01:03:54,720 --> 01:04:01,680
sort of more complicated than Super Meat Boy at 1080p then you're not going to be

869
01:03:59,359 --> 01:04:06,880
that thrilled with the uh with the experience uh there's a great video of

870
01:04:05,279 --> 01:04:14,319
uh for this for the steam controller teaser showing it being used in games um

871
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:17,760
that looks really really compelling so

872
01:04:14,319 --> 01:04:20,200
everything from top down RTS to Shooters

873
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:25,839
and whoever's been using it probably has like a thousand hours logged on it so

874
01:04:24,079 --> 01:04:30,000
yeah they're looking pretty Pro with the haptic feedback on that they're looking

875
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:33,359
pretty Pro but if you guys haven't seen the finished steam controller yet then

876
01:04:32,079 --> 01:04:38,279
there's a picture of what it's going to look like right there so we end up with

877
01:04:35,839 --> 01:04:44,039
something sort that at least Bears a resemblance to a normal game controller

878
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:48,920
like you kind of got a dpad haptic touch d-pad sort of they they went and they

879
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:50,880
put that that texture on there for the

880
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:56,480
d-pad lovers still just like the full circle is uh is touch sensitive or what

881
01:04:54,400 --> 01:05:00,319
it's it's all trackable got an analog stick you've got your abxy and then

882
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:04,960
you've got your your other touchpad and then what's really cool and they show

883
01:05:02,319 --> 01:05:09,680
how this is being used is the reverse buttons so you've got a squeeze in here

884
01:05:06,799 --> 01:05:14,480
you've got the ones up here and they show that being used in some really cool

885
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:18,440
ways like we've seen aftermarket stuff like this like we actually got some

886
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:22,599
controllers in for review that had uh buttons remapped to the bottom so that

887
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:26,200
you didn't have to uh so that you so that you could aim and zoom and fire at

888
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:29,559
the same time like scuff and stuff like that stuff like that uh we thought the

889
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:36,880
implementation was very poor we didn't end up reviewing it but valves looks

890
01:05:33,079 --> 01:05:39,319
like it might be okay so I'm going to be

891
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:43,000
like the Luke on this one and just say I could see this being a lot of fun for

892
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:48,039
games like Civ just kind of sitting on the couch and playing Civ and laying

893
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:50,119
back and kind of zoning out um I don't

894
01:05:48,039 --> 01:05:54,480
see a whole lot of use for it in like you said FPS games sure it's better than

895
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:58,079
a normal controller maybe but you're still just going to get beat by everyone

896
01:05:56,319 --> 01:06:03,799
with a mouse and keyboard as far as I can tell I haven't played with thing so

897
01:05:59,839 --> 01:06:06,000
maybe I'm totally wrong but um yeah I

898
01:06:03,799 --> 01:06:10,000
like even valve even says it's not meant to replace a mouse and keyboard it's

899
01:06:08,079 --> 01:06:13,400
meant to bring a better couch experience to PC gaming so I think that they're

900
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:21,039
doing a good job with that meanwhile you've got Corsair um hold on couch yeah

901
01:06:18,359 --> 01:06:25,760
uh lap dog lap dog thank you there it is meanwhile you've got guys like nerdy

902
01:06:22,839 --> 01:06:29,880
Tech and even Corsair jumping in trying to bring the mouse and keyboard

903
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:34,640
experience to the couch rather than trying to get you to compromise with the

904
01:06:31,559 --> 01:06:37,720
controller and I I admire their efforts

905
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:40,599
here but I for

906
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:47,400
me I would probably I'm going to at least give valves controller a shot here

907
01:06:43,079 --> 01:06:49,680
y um so this was posted by bleedman 0xx

908
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:55,680
on the Forum here I'm going to go ahead and copy it and

909
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:58,799
finally finally valve is allowing

910
01:06:55,680 --> 01:07:02,559
refunds on Steam in a way that is

911
01:06:58,799 --> 01:07:06,160
actually meaningful and not just like oh

912
01:07:02,559 --> 01:07:10,119
you know once and you know a blue moon

913
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:12,760
if ever and so you can now request a

914
01:07:10,119 --> 01:07:17,119
refund for nearly any purchase on Steam for any

915
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:22,319
reason wow that's actually kind of insane which which shouldn't be insane

916
01:07:20,039 --> 01:07:27,520
finally digital distribution okay okay okay okay so okay back in the old days

917
01:07:25,279 --> 01:07:33,520
of physical media you could return a game yeah this was prec CD keys this was

918
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:35,559
back when the physical media represented

919
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:40,359
the game you didn't own the game anymore if you didn't have that disc now CD Keys

920
01:07:38,079 --> 01:07:43,440
came along and all of a sudden that disc meant nothing once You' registered an

921
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:48,079
account with Blizzard or whatever the case may be I mean you could be

922
01:07:45,559 --> 01:07:52,079
returning them nothing yeah and you might as well be returned like they

923
01:07:49,839 --> 01:07:57,880
weren't going to get a credit so then digital came along and adopted that

924
01:07:55,079 --> 01:08:03,480
policy for some reason even though platforms like steam are their own DRM

925
01:08:01,079 --> 01:08:07,160
they know if you've played the game I mean that was something that I could see

926
01:08:05,119 --> 01:08:10,799
a physical store being upset about well you were just using us as a free rental

927
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:16,880
yeah you finished the game and brought it back screw you Val knows they even

928
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:23,520
know where you die on their maps in Counterstrike like they know how much

929
01:08:19,759 --> 01:08:25,600
you played the game so now uh you will

930
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:30,600
be issued a full refund of your purch just within a week of approval um if you

931
01:08:28,799 --> 01:08:36,799
have played the game for I believe it's less than 2 hours so 14 days as long as

932
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:42,759
you've played it for less than 2 hours for pre purchased titles um refunds on

933
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:46,239
in-game purchases I think that's a really big one especially with the

934
01:08:44,319 --> 01:08:49,279
prevalence of stuff like Counterstrike items like did you know there's some

935
01:08:47,799 --> 01:08:55,759
knives in Counter-Strike now that are like $1,500 for a knife

936
01:08:53,199 --> 01:09:00,520
Skin So within 48 hours hours of purchase so long it has as it has not

937
01:08:57,319 --> 01:09:02,040
been consumed modified or transferred um

938
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:07,600
refunds on DLC uh and if blah blah blah refundable

939
01:09:04,839 --> 01:09:11,480
within 14 days of purchase and if the underlying title has not been played for

940
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:15,400
less than two hours since the DLC was purchase blah blah blah blah uh steam

941
01:09:13,679 --> 01:09:20,159
wallet refunds within 14 days of purchase if they purchased on Steam you not have to use any of those funds and

942
01:09:18,159 --> 01:09:24,080
refunds on bundles you can now receive a full refund for any bundle purchased on

943
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:28,560
the steam store so long as none of the items in the bundle have been transferred and if the combined usage of

944
01:09:26,839 --> 01:09:35,000
time is less than 2 hours so 2 hours is the magic time which honestly is pretty

945
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:36,759
generous no refunds on movies cuz as

946
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:40,560
long as you've used this movie for less than two

947
01:09:38,239 --> 01:09:45,520
hours it's like yeah I missed the end credits

948
01:09:42,199 --> 01:09:48,719
thanks so refunds are designed to remove

949
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:51,000
the risk from purchasing titles on Steam

950
01:09:48,719 --> 01:09:55,400
not as a way to get free access to games if it appears to us that you are abusing

951
01:09:52,719 --> 01:09:58,600
refunds we may stop offering them to you we do not consider it abuse to request a

952
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:03,600
refund on a title that was purchased just before a sale and then immediately

953
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:06,719
reing that title for the sale price so

954
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:08,800
this is effectively valve offering price

955
01:10:06,719 --> 01:10:13,760
protection even yeah if you've played a game for less than two hours that's cool

956
01:10:11,239 --> 01:10:17,239
hey way to go I think it's pretty sweet way to go valve some people in chat are

957
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:22,520
calling me out about saying there was a $1,500 knife there was one that was

958
01:10:19,679 --> 01:10:27,000
rumored to go for $20,000 like no one has any real proof of that and even if

959
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:30,960
it was that's like a oneoff that's not a market price that's someone paying way

960
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:37,239
too much for stupid like $1,500 is way too much anyway I'm on a tangent um

961
01:10:34,480 --> 01:10:41,880
let's have a first Nicks rants segment yeah yeah yeah no nobody wants to hear

962
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:43,040
that um people in chat this isn't we we

963
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:50,239
talked about this earlier in the week this isn't in the dock but people in chat all stream have been asking about

964
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:55,719
the the thermal take thing what's your opinion on that what's my opinion I

965
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:57,719
don't give a rat's ass

966
01:10:55,719 --> 01:11:02,760
that's why it wasn't in the dog um yeah it straight up wasn't in our document

967
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:07,840
for topics to cover this week um if anyone okay you know what here I'm GNA

968
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:14,000
I'm going to put my computer now for the official lus R I'm going to put my computer down I'm I'm going give you

969
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:17,640
guys a little I'm going give you no no it's fine it's fine I'm going to give

970
01:11:15,199 --> 01:11:25,960
you guys a little a little a little chat okay the PC industry is the most

971
01:11:22,159 --> 01:11:28,800
inbred um copying everyone

972
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:34,199
people stealing trade secrets from each other industry that could possibly exist

973
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:37,920
remember these are technology enthusiasts these are the guys who are

974
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:44,920
inventing 3D printers okay and 3D scanners and like

975
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:48,800
better means of ripping each other off all day okay and so I'm going to I'm

976
01:11:47,719 --> 01:11:55,800
going to I'm going to go and I'm going to drag someone else into this whole thing I'm not even going to talk about

977
01:11:53,040 --> 01:12:00,360
thermal take or case Labs you're going yeah I'm going there there I'm going

978
01:11:57,679 --> 01:12:06,679
there so let's look at a company like fractal design I love fractal design I

979
01:12:03,199 --> 01:12:08,920
love Josh I love yens I love hanas uh

980
01:12:06,679 --> 01:12:14,520
I'll even tolerate Johan I'm I'm naming all the people at fractal design who I

981
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:17,400
know and and like and respect fractal

982
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:24,159
design built their company their their first product the defin R they built

983
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:27,960
their company off of taking the antec p180 and doing it better and cheaper

984
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:33,480
than antech and antech to this day in my mind

985
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:40,639
although I haven't seen their new signature case to this day has not found

986
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:42,840
their groove again and that's the breaks

987
01:12:40,639 --> 01:12:47,760
because the thing about a case the thing about a physical object is that if you

988
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:53,560
can't find a way to patent it and Josh from fractal design has actually been on

989
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:57,679
the record saying there's only so many

990
01:12:53,560 --> 01:13:00,800
ways to manufacture a rectangular box he

991
01:12:57,679 --> 01:13:02,920
actually brought that up last week um on

992
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:06,840
what what's Paul and Kyle's shows awesome Hardware right um awesome sauce

993
01:13:05,199 --> 01:13:14,920
news and Paul's Hardware I think I think their live show is called awesome Hardware sorry guys if that's not

994
01:13:09,239 --> 01:13:18,120
correct um but Kyle had uh Josh on as a

995
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:20,719
guest because Paul's in Taipei for comex

996
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:26,080
so Josh actually said in that stream he went to the old there's only so many

997
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:27,920
ways that you can make a metal box

998
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:31,120
um argument when when it was brought up with him so it's not like these guys

999
01:13:29,639 --> 01:13:37,080
aren't aware that that's what's happening and the innovation in a case

1000
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:44,199
the innovation in a case in my mind is not in the finished product because if I

1001
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:47,360
could make a case out of you know um

1002
01:13:44,199 --> 01:13:49,199
spiderwebs and pixie dust then I could

1003
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:56,920
make the best case ever of course I could the innovation in a case is in

1004
01:13:53,440 --> 01:13:59,719
manufacturing so if you patent a process

1005
01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:04,920
for bending aluminum in a way that literally no one else can even make your

1006
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:08,040
case yeah then you innovate it yeah if

1007
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:10,920
you innovate the idea of having like

1008
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:16,159
okay um NZ xt's innovation of removing the 5 and A4 inch Bas from the

1009
01:14:13,159 --> 01:14:17,920
h440 Innovative idea but you can't

1010
01:14:16,159 --> 01:14:22,239
patent that and you can't prevent your competitors from making a case with no 5

1011
01:14:19,639 --> 01:14:26,320
and a/4 inch Baye and NZXT is not a bunch of idiots and they know that

1012
01:14:24,440 --> 01:14:30,639
someone is going to as soon as that case is successful everyone else in their dog

1013
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:37,760
is going to be doing it because that's not that's that's just that's just it's

1014
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:40,080
a it's an idea you can't patent an like

1015
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:45,199
well you can patent an idea but you you can't patent like removing a speck I

1016
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:50,239
guess is what I'm trying to say you can't patent a spec difference so like

1017
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:54,400
you can't patent the idea of executing a case that doesn't have a certain aspect

1018
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:58,560
yeah like it's not that you can't patent an idea it's that you can't you can't

1019
01:14:56,679 --> 01:15:02,920
patent an aspect of something that's so ubiquitous 5 and a quar inch Bays

1020
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:07,600
existing and you'll have cases on the with a spec sheet on the side that says

1021
01:15:04,639 --> 01:15:12,000
1 Time 5 and a quarter or 5 * 5 and a quarter the fact that you just made a

1022
01:15:09,679 --> 01:15:17,560
case that says 0 * 5 and a quarter is not is not it's not patentable yeah

1023
01:15:14,719 --> 01:15:23,159
that's not that's not patentable um whereas the idea of you know okay

1024
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:28,560
looking at inwin transforming case where they literally made something that no

1025
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:31,120
one else can make that is innovation so

1026
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:35,960
to me someone like Cas laabs came along and they did something really important

1027
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:41,760
they made easy spacious water cooling friendly cases accessible and affordable

1028
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:45,560
and high quality in a way that hey if we're going to start talking about

1029
01:15:43,159 --> 01:15:49,719
copying people in a way that I who I would consider to be their spiritual

1030
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:55,600
predecessor Mountain mods didn't manage to do that's what case Labs did and they

1031
01:15:53,840 --> 01:16:00,639
did a great job but if they're going to kind of run and

1032
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:03,880
cry foul because someone you know copied

1033
01:16:00,639 --> 01:16:08,080
that idea of making an affordable roomy

1034
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:11,239
well-thought out case I mean uh I don't

1035
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:14,360
know um to me it's about actually making

1036
01:16:11,239 --> 01:16:16,600
it um and it's not necessarily about the

1037
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:20,480
idea of having a lot of places for a radiator if you don't actually execute

1038
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:25,760
it or if someone else executes it better and that is another thing to consider

1039
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:28,760
here cases there's more to a case than

1040
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:33,040
the spec and the look and if Case Labs

1041
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:35,520
believes that their quality is great and

1042
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:39,360
from my experience with them it is then they shouldn't be worried about

1043
01:16:36,639 --> 01:16:45,280
competition from thermal take period so there that's my take on it I

1044
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:48,520
have talked about it yeah and you know what oh I've got people saying I think

1045
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:53,520
the issue is that the people they're buying their cases from is the same

1046
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:59,520
manufacturer well yeah that's the PC industry man you think that you think

1047
01:16:56,080 --> 01:17:01,679
that every Power so when Corsair yeah

1048
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:06,440
when Corsair releases their 80 plus Platinum power supply and you know

1049
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:13,239
everyone else has an 80 plus Platinum power supply the next week you think

1050
01:17:08,719 --> 01:17:17,280
that's not the same thing come on come

1051
01:17:13,239 --> 01:17:20,679
on come on you think that when NZXT

1052
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:23,880
releases the Kraken x40 and Corsair has

1053
01:17:20,679 --> 01:17:26,719
a a single 140 millimeter all-in-one

1054
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:31,040
liquid cooler that's also an acch design you know a little while later you think

1055
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:36,520
someone didn't make a deal a volume agreement or or a payout for a a a a

1056
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:40,560
limited time exclusive and then all of a sudden the Design's open to everyone

1057
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:45,000
that's how the PC industry Works Reb badges rebrands there's only a few

1058
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:49,000
companies actually building things and they're going to be the ones

1059
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:52,000
that are going to hold all the they're they're going to hold all the cards and

1060
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:57,120
they're going to have the power in the long term there you go so apparently

1061
01:17:55,159 --> 01:18:00,080
Josh wasn't on awesome Hardware I don't know where I saw it then I've seen him

1062
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:05,239
talk about it yeah he was talking to somebody on one of the shows I can't

1063
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:06,560
remember um I watch a lot of videos

1064
01:18:05,239 --> 01:18:14,040
every week I've got people saying they don't think I get it like I've looked at pictures of the cases I I see the

1065
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:17,080
similarity sure I do and like that's

1066
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:18,960
dumb but like it it's not like it's not

1067
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:21,760
like apple doesn't get all upset when someone makes a phone that's similar to

1068
01:18:20,199 --> 01:18:26,320
the iPhone and even they've given up at this point it looks like so somebody was

1069
01:18:24,440 --> 01:18:29,880
saying Apple could probably patent the zero five and a half or five and a

1070
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:33,400
quarter inch Bay idea that you had yeah possibly probably you're probably right

1071
01:18:32,159 --> 01:18:38,719
they could patent it I'm not sure if it would be upheld though no but they would they would probably patent it probably

1072
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:46,280
anyway apparently it was in Jay's two cents Tech talk oh sorry js2 cents my

1073
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:49,239
bad um okay so uh Google advertises a

1074
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:56,000
Nexus 6 running Windows Phone Microsoft advertises alumia 535 running Android so

1075
01:18:52,679 --> 01:18:59,000
the original poster here was rude

1076
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:02,520
uh copy link URL I actually you know

1077
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:04,040
what's funny is I I had some notes in my

1078
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:07,920
uh in my email because I'm always I always forget to open up the doc and

1079
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:11,920
like post the things and uh I just assumed valve uh steam refunds would be

1080
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:17,000
in the dock and then I kind of went oh yeah all the computex stuff there's like

1081
01:19:14,199 --> 01:19:21,280
straight up no room I had like 35 topics in the dock and I was like well I have

1082
01:19:18,440 --> 01:19:26,120
to cut like half of these not actually but like a significant amount of these

1083
01:19:24,159 --> 01:19:29,920
and that was like with me not even just like putting stuff in periodically and

1084
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:34,639
that was without the 3 minute conversation we just had about the thing

1085
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:38,440
so this is cool hey I would love to see a future where you get to choose your

1086
01:19:36,440 --> 01:19:42,920
phone hardware and your OS independently

1087
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:50,480
um yeah apparently some marketing agencies thought that the future was now

1088
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:52,719
yeah so you know is this real it doesn't

1089
01:19:50,480 --> 01:19:57,520
necessarily look like anything like this is coming anytime soon but

1090
01:19:55,199 --> 01:20:02,080
it's also very Illuminati confirmed that both of these mistakes showed up at

1091
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:04,199
around the same time so you know I I

1092
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:08,480
think it'd be super cool I think it also opens up a can of worms in terms of you

1093
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:11,760
know compatibility and drivers and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

1094
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:17,239
that we've been free from from on phones up until now but uh still still very

1095
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:21,760
cool stuff um well I think I've only really got one more that I really want

1096
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:26,840
to hit the original poster here was Joss and I think we're going to need a straw

1097
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:29,120
pole for you guys here because uh I I

1098
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:32,480
literally found this like five minutes before the show started and I was

1099
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:39,600
laughing my head off and L was like what are you laughing at and I just pointed at my screen he's like okay I think we

1100
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:39,600
have to talk about that yeah so

1101
01:20:41,480 --> 01:20:51,280
um I I I know I'm leaving you guys in suspense here but this is this is worth

1102
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:51,280
it Illuminati the chat's all

1103
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:58,159
Illuminati okay so no it needs to be turn up uh I just I just do whatever I

1104
01:20:56,520 --> 01:21:03,520
only did that twice in a row like by accident yeah but okay oh I think I know

1105
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:06,800
what you're talking about okay well at any rate here we go

1106
01:21:08,159 --> 01:21:13,000
guys the original poster here and I'm

1107
01:21:11,199 --> 01:21:19,560
going to post the straw pole now the original the original poster

1108
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:23,520
here is uh J and the original article

1109
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:27,120
here is from Phone Arena here it is it

1110
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:30,000
is a smart wearable called The Sex

1111
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:35,560
Machine that keeps track of sex performance metrics and you wouldn't

1112
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:42,080
believe where it's worn unless you saw this GIF then you'll probably figure out

1113
01:21:38,719 --> 01:21:45,800
exactly where it's going to be worn now

1114
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:47,800
I can see a lot of you know potential

1115
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:52,239
you know good that could come of this you know um yeah you know what's what's

1116
01:21:50,239 --> 01:21:57,440
good for him is good for her and so on and so forth and and you know said

1117
01:21:54,920 --> 01:22:01,199
there's tons of statistical evidence out there that a you know a healthy sex life

1118
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:05,520
and maybe one that we can you know if we can make it healthier is good for a

1119
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:08,920
relationship and all that kind of stuff but I've also got a lot of people

1120
01:22:07,239 --> 01:22:14,120
suggesting ways this could be used for evil like um teran's using a great

1121
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:19,440
biking app that actually measures like it shows um you know how you performed

1122
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:23,239
on a particular like a split like split times um as you as you bike around

1123
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:26,920
compared to other people that have been through that particular no through that

1124
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:32,520
particular route um you know ways you could

1125
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:38,320
integrate this into a social through that particular route social social

1126
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:43,320
network features here um you know you could see if you're the best performing

1127
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:46,840
guy on your street you know stuff like that

1128
01:22:44,480 --> 01:22:53,239
um oh no so I'm going to fire up the straw pole results here do you want your

1129
01:22:50,560 --> 01:23:02,280
sex performance monitored we we've got a no definite

1130
01:22:57,239 --> 01:23:04,600
minority here saying yes 24% of them are

1131
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:10,239
okay with having their sex performance monitored and I don't even know if this

1132
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:13,280
is all going into the cloud or whatever I I haven't actually we found this right

1133
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:17,920
before the show it's probably it probably is going into the cloud oh man

1134
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:22,000
I doubt it's stored locally I highly doubt it's stored can you imagine that

1135
01:23:19,639 --> 01:23:26,440
okay loading up an Android app uh this app requests permission to access your

1136
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:31,239
camera your contacts your sex performance can you even

1137
01:23:28,719 --> 01:23:35,320
imagine oh no yeah we've got more nose coming in

1138
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:43,760
now that we're sort of talking about cloud storage it it would be interesting

1139
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:46,800
to see how um say say someone's wife has

1140
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:48,239
access to this app and she's unhappy in

1141
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:53,360
the relationship and she wants to file for divorce could she use that as

1142
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:58,000
evidence I don't know or like can you imagine like you know all the wives and

1143
01:23:55,960 --> 01:24:03,639
girlfriends getting together and comparing comparing notes you know they

1144
01:24:00,440 --> 01:24:06,000
would I know they totally would I know

1145
01:24:03,639 --> 01:24:10,440
oh man that is like some not cool stuff right there well I guess it depends how

1146
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:16,760
your performance it depends well for me that would be some not cool stuff right

1147
01:24:12,719 --> 01:24:20,159
there straight up um I've actually got

1148
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:22,159
one more one more topic that's sort of

1149
01:24:20,159 --> 01:24:26,400
just a line it's like it's a Linus Media Group topic it's not actual news but uh

1150
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:31,880
we're working on something that I think is pretty cool I've finally I I I get to

1151
01:24:29,679 --> 01:24:36,480
talk to YouTube which is kind of neat yeah for for years I didn't actually

1152
01:24:34,239 --> 01:24:41,080
have much interaction with my Google overlords um but we've been um we've

1153
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:45,880
been in touch all of a sudden and they've been like super cool with us and

1154
01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:51,800
we are working on something like it's no secret that these this cards feature is

1155
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:57,080
coming along with some very similar functionality to annotations which don't

1156
01:24:54,119 --> 01:25:01,920
work on mobile and Now cards are going to work on mobile as well so we've been

1157
01:24:59,119 --> 01:25:08,080
working on um a couple of things so number one is a way for us to do things

1158
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:09,679
like our subscribe call out and like our

1159
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:13,800
hey we've got Cool lineus Tech tips t-shirts which by the way we should by

1160
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:16,840
way we have Cool lus Tech dips t-shirts yeah I'll post a link if you guys want

1161
01:25:15,159 --> 01:25:22,159
one of the ones that says first on oh I can't read my back hurts uh if you want

1162
01:25:18,480 --> 01:25:24,320
one that says first on the back um I'm

1163
01:25:22,159 --> 01:25:28,920
sitting here we go uh we've got these shirts available right

1164
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:35,600
now can do that um so we're working on a way to since cards are not clickable

1165
01:25:32,239 --> 01:25:37,880
directly and instead you have to go to

1166
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:41,840
like this little ey in the corner in order to find them we're trying to work

1167
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:47,840
on some ways to make that friendly to both mobile and desktop users and so

1168
01:25:45,199 --> 01:25:52,639
there's a video here that I'll link um that I'll link in the twitch

1169
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:58,679
chat but this is the video where we're kind of showing some of the ideas we

1170
01:25:54,560 --> 01:26:00,639
have for ways that we can get people to

1171
01:25:58,679 --> 01:26:05,360
know that that's where to go look like subscribe is handled through that little

1172
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:10,119
watermark in the bottom now and then we're trying to like this is a rough

1173
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:14,679
draft right now but we're trying to come up with a way that's not totally

1174
01:26:12,440 --> 01:26:18,960
obnoxious looking but that will get people to be able to find the things

1175
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:23,199
that we're talking about so I don't know I don't know

1176
01:26:21,679 --> 01:26:29,639
that's that's sort of some of our ideas right now but we'd love to hear your guys' thoughts I think it's pretty cool

1177
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:34,520
stuff like that I I like it I think that it hopefully it's a good balance

1178
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:41,040
but um yeah so I guess that's pretty much

1179
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:44,400
it um some people in chat were asking

1180
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:47,320
about LTT fans what are they any update

1181
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:52,480
um I there is no update but there will be one so that's the update stay tuned

1182
01:26:50,719 --> 01:26:56,560
stay tuned for the rest of the computex coverage stay subscribed that's a good

1183
01:26:54,960 --> 01:27:00,840
teaser watch the rest of the computex coverage stay subscribed don't miss any

1184
01:26:58,639 --> 01:27:05,960
of the computex coverage and like our videos uh no after party today because

1185
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:09,159
it's hot and I'm tired and I'm I'm sweating if you couldn't tell it's

1186
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:15,639
disgusting and I'm more dressed than you you're wearing sleeves a shirt I'm also

1187
01:27:12,119 --> 01:27:18,560
like far more overweight than you are

1188
01:27:15,639 --> 01:27:23,800
that's I so there's that I didn't say it I can I can neither confirm nor deny

1189
01:27:21,119 --> 01:27:29,320
there you go um oh we should probably do we should probably do a quick update on

1190
01:27:26,679 --> 01:27:36,719
wait do they know about the stakes no okay so Nick is losing the bet

1191
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:40,040
right now it looks like it looks like it's not going that well there we had a

1192
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:43,360
bet over how many you you guys let me down man yeah we had a bed over really

1193
01:27:42,119 --> 01:27:49,760

1194
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:55,400
have sold like a ridiculous amount I'm just a really confident person in our

1195
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:57,639
brand so I am amazed at how many cuz I

1196
01:27:55,400 --> 01:28:01,400
told them I didn't even want to do just a straight line as Tech tip shirt

1197
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:05,440
because I I didn't think that people would be into it anyway so here's the
