AMD unveiled two new Radeon graphics cards at Gamescom today but
embarrassingly seemed to have forgotten to make them offensively overpriced
I'm Riley Murdoch this is techlinked and this might be bad news for NVIDIA when
you compare the new 450 RX 7700 XT to
the 500 RTX 4060 TI 60 Gigabyte and the
new 500 RX 7800 XT to the 600 RTX 4070
the new radeons do better in rasterized
games and even some Ray traced games at least according to neutral unbiased
benchmarking Outlet AMD check out AMD's
apples AMD also announced they're launching FSR
3.0 on September 6th bringing along a new performance enhancing frame
generation technique they call Fluid motion frames which sounds like my video
games will now come with more interpretive dance which makes me so
happy do a waterfall what was the waterfall it's like it's it's a
geographical it's a geological structure okay now while you might not believe
team Red's pretty little pictures Team Green just might since YouTuber Moore's
Law is dead claims that a price drop for the 4060 TI is on its way to better
compete with these 7700 XT after all
both new radeons will come with a free copy of Starfield the game that AMD
claims could totally support NVIDIA's dlss if Bethesda wanted to add it AMD
won't say what would happen to the developers families if they did this but
hey hey it's a free country Sony officially
unveiled the PlayStation portal the product formally referred to by the code
names project q and an absolute joke a
200 price tag has now been confirmed for a device that allows you to play games
on your PS5 through remote play something your phone and various other
devices do and nothing else the handheld
doesn't even support Bluetooth something your phone also does but the portal does
have a 3.5 millimeter audio jack so odds
are it's one for three against the pocket computer you use to Doom scroll
pictures of your ex if you must use wireless audio great news the portal
supports PlayStation link the proprietary wireless tech used
exclusively by the new 150 PlayStation
Pulse headset and the matching 200 earbuds Sony probably also wants to
capitalize on their recent acquisition of high-end headphone maker Odyssey and
what better way to do that than by creating a walled audio Garden for a
device that looks like it was Jerry Ray by a high school Electronics club got em
now add the fact that Qualcomm just announced three new Snapdragon chips
designed specifically for handheld gaming devices that support both lag
free local and cloud game streaming and
it starts to make even less sense to spend two hundred dollars just so you
can still play PS5 while Mom's on the TV watching her soaps
watch so I'm watching her soaps
to make sure they don't move multiple details regarding Intel's
upcoming 14th gen core processors have leaked because sometimes companies don't
want to announce their own disappointing products instead we have MSI and Twitter
user darkmon Tech to thank for the news of the underwhelming Raptor Lake refresh
MSI made the mistake of posting a product training video to YouTube and
marking it as unlisted instead of private allowing darkmon Tech to find
the video using the power of throwing numbers and letters together and seeing
what links work the numbers Mason what
do they mean that's my joke from later oh I'm sorry
if that's how we did it i'm frankly impressed according to a slide shown in
the video that's helpfully labeled NDA do not share the performance uplift from
13 gen chips will be on average about three percent which is not how I like my
CPU improvements but it is how I like my milk 3.25 to be exact round down also
known as homo milk up here in Canada the slide did also say the core i7 14700k is
17 faster than the i7 13700k in
multi-threaded applications due to it spoiler having four more efficiency
cores why is that because now we know before
it launches Riley that number is consistent with engineering sample
benchmarks leaked by a Billy Billy Creator who goes by a name I will almost
certainly not pronounce correctly I don't know Chinese I mean I barely
understand Tech I know a lot about milk
now it's time for quick bits brought to you by keeper The Trusted secure
password manager that generates and stores strong passwords for you because
using the same password for everything just makes it easier for cyber criminals
to leak all those photos you took of animals in human clothes everyone goes
through phases thankfully keeper is encrypted end to end so you never have
to worry about your faces being public knowledge keep or even autofills your
login info and two fa codes on both mobile and desktop so you can skip all
that typing and get straight to browsing all those pictures of boa constrictors
and sweaters save 50 on personal and family plans at the link below using the
code TechLink 50. these quick bits have been cooling on the windowsill for a
week so you kids should just go to town on them just eat up get strong also at
Gamescom NVIDIA unveiled the newest version of its dlss tag featuring Ray
reconstruction which promises to enhance Ray traced images better than
traditional denoising and rebuild Rey better than he was before even better
unlike dlss 3.0 frame generation which
can only be run on RTX 40 series graphics cards by Rich and financially
irresponsible people Ray reconstruction works on all RTX gpus it's even more
great news for Ray now it doesn't make sense to me that someone using dlss 3.5
might not have at least as many features as someone using dlss 3.0 but I might
feel better after I ask Mason what the numbers mean researchers are using
sensors implanted in the brain and ai-powered software to allow two
paralyzed women to speak directly with their minds Professor X style while one
of the volunteers can't speak due to ALS and the other experienced a stroke they
both still remember how to talk the implants in their cerebral cortex then
take the neural activity associated with speech and translate that into accurate
text at a rate of over 60 words per minute allowing them to hold a
relatively normal conversation if by normal conversation you mean Robo
telepathy which I often do YouTube is getting Google assistance hum to
identify a song feature with an upgrade instead of needing 10 to 15 seconds
YouTube's version can work with as few as three seconds of humming but you have
to hum hard
meanwhile YouTube music's Live lyrics are finally widely rolling out on
Android and iOS which may cause people to hate the app slightly less although
that Goodwill will certainly be canceled out if YouTube is testing serving ads to
premium subscribers as indicated by this post on the LTT subreddit where
absolutely everything is fine
Zoom is requiring all employees within 50 miles of the office to return to
in-person work at least two days a week in a leaked recording the CEO of Zoom
blamed Zoom saying that limiting meetings to video calls makes it hard to
build trust and it undermines constructive debate because everyone's
just too darn polite on a zoom call and it's always fighting against the flash
Professor Zoom joins every call
get out of here personally I don't blame Zoom for not liking Zoom it's got to be
hard managing a company with a haunting knowledge that there are subordinates
that you've literally never talked to while they were wearing pants
that's a good one nice with Jessica and speaking of
countries where people might be confused by that last sentence a UK court has
found that an Oxford teen was part of the international cyber gang lapsis the
group responsible for multiple major Tech hacks the jury heard how 18 year
old Aryan curtage helped hack NVIDIA
after being arrested and released under
investigation for another hack then after being re-arrested and doxxed by
rival hackers curtage was moved to a Travelodge Hotel the most secure Hotel
they had while on bail where he then hacked and
leaked unfinished Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay using an Amazon fire stick it
just gets better and better embarrassing developer Rockstar by both hacking them
and making every GTA Mission they've ever written sound lame as hell
apparently didn't come up with that jeez
I was one hell of a DLC but it won't be lame of you to come back on Monday for
more tackling unlike those jerks over at GameLinked we wouldn't lie to you about
when our next video will drop except when we did that last week you're going
on vacation to Lake Lau guy what
you still haven't seen avatar Last Airbender Lake Lao guy
