1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,120
There we go. Just reconnect. There we are.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,600
Are we live? We should be. Well, someone didn't like what we were doing.

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:12,720
Just kidding. The men that live in my walls. No conspiracy theories here.

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,720
We have a 30 amp breaker on the set.

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:22,280
One of them, so 115 amp is for the top plug of every duplex.

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:27,400
And then another 15 amp breaker is for the bottom plug of every duplex.

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,200
We thought with modern LED lighting and everything, that would be plenty.

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:37,320
We may have thought wrong. We were never planning to have streaming machine,

9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,600
four gaming rigs, also the two downloading rigs,

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,840
also having the entire set lit at the same time.

11
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:50,280
Whoopsie doodles. So we blew up the whole thing.

12
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,080
Let's continue, shall we? I mean, were we done with this was Apex?

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,320
We were over here. So we're going to head over there now, right?

14
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,680
You were playing BM and GB we were trying to.

15
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,640
This monitor's fighting me. Cool. Well, we're back.

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:12,160
Installing for time. Dan, please tell me you've got something for me.

17
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,400
I have no monitor here. Nice.

18
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,880
Let's see. Let's see.

19
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:25,560
ARX Fat Alice on the ArcGPU, also only one gig download.

20
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,160
I don't know what that means. It's a game recommendation. ARX Fat Alice.

21
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,680
And then. Did you say Fat Alice?

22
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,960
No, I did not. I think that's a completely different game.

23
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:40,360
And then we've got Heal Divir. What's the lines going? Hellbite.

24
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,640
Have you played that one? Have you started? These are just more game suggestions.

25
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,480
I've only had four merge messages. I'm so sorry. They're waiting for the release that's happening tomorrow,

26
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,040
I guess. Oh, man. OK, launch.

27
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,040
OK.

28
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,680
Oh, no, is this system not working?

29
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,640
Uh-oh. That would be embarrassing for Intel.

30
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,280
I see the fan spinning. That's something.

31
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,720
I'm living these monitors personally. Yeah, honestly.

32
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,640
Aging. Aging, definitely. Yes. They're older than the Linus.

33
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:25,000
You guys are getting some live troubleshooting now. OK, maybe I'll just hang out and chat then for a little bit.

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,280
Oh, boy. You've got to love it, man.

35
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:38,080
High Floatplane chat. OK, we use our jackery as a battery backup for the WAN Show.

36
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,480
We are not on the WAN Show set. We stream like this so rarely that we don't just

37
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,760
have like a dedicated giant battery backup for just

38
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,960
a random live stream. OK, oh, there we go.

39
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:57,560
Now we're good. Oh, xWar2 says, I don't think Merch messages are working, Dan.

40
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,240
Uh-huh. Based on chatter here.

41
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,960
That's strange. OK, I'll reach out. Have more than four of you.

42
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,240
Have more than four of you tried to send one.

43
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,520
Let the camera guy know the camera is glitching every time it moves.

44
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,160
Oh, man. I don't see it.

45
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,240
No. OK.

46
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,560
Well, oh, other people say camera is fine. OK, cool.

47
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,480
Buy an arc. Lux says mine was the Helldivers one.

48
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,640
Yeah, camera's fine. If you guys are waiting for the product release tomorrow,

49
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,360
by the way, you can just pick up a gift card today. I'm just letting you know.

50
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,520
If you do want to send a Merch message today. Bot04 says, I sent one.

51
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,120
It did not work. OK, I fix.

52
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,080
OK, Dan's working on it. Dan's working on it. I have a stupid question.

53
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,760
I have a stupid answer. OK. Very good.

54
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,280
If someone buys a gift card and sends it a Merch message today. Yes.

55
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,560
When they use that gift card tomorrow, can they send another Merch message in?

56
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,800
Why you got to expose the glitch like that? Fair enough.

57
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,680
I'm helping you guys out. Sorry. Jordan. Sorry, Linus.

58
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,840
What about second Merch message?

59
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:23,160
It doesn't violate the law of Merch messages. OK.

60
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,960
But it does violate the spirit. Don't make us close the loophole.

61
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:35,280
Don't spam us with Merch messages. Part of the reason for Merch messages

62
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:40,400
is that we're trying to reduce the sheer incredible volume

63
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,800
of messages that we can't possibly hope to respond to all of them.

64
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,880
So just turn on frame view there.

65
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:52,120
I'm working on it. Bloody hell, Jordan.

66
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,280
Can you just turn to help out, Linus? Can you tell my boys a gamer?

67
00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:00,440
I found the flaw in the system. What do you want? PC console system.

68
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:06,000
He games it. OK, which side am I supposed to have mine on the left?

69
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,320
I'm doing top right. I was just messing around so I could see it better. Dan, for you, are they supposed to be next to each other

70
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,440
in your view? Sorry. Dan's doing his own thing over there.

71
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,280
I'm doing something else. Sorry. No worries. We're good. Let's go consistent back in. This is Team Minji.

72
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:22,680
That's how we were before. Shall we drive? Let's drive.

73
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,920
You know, credit to the team.

74
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,720
That was actually a pretty quick return to streaming. Not too bad.

75
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,640
You are crushing me in this game. Oh my goodness, yeah.

76
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,240
Dude. Oh, I just crushed my car, though. This is not close.

77
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,320
Poor little truck. Can you hit Y real quick here?

78
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,720
Y. I saw a dip down to five.

79
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:53,520
You saw a dip down to six. So that appears to be just a factor.

80
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,560
That appears to be an element of this game. That's just not that well-optimized.

81
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,680
So I'm driving down the street. Me too.

82
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,680
Living my best life here, getting 100 FPS, dipping to 90.

83
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,160
You're getting like 140. 140. OK. Dipping to like 110.

84
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,200
This is far enough off that I've.

85
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,320
Whoa, it's your CPU.

86
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,820
14? Is it 74? 14.

87
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,800
Oh, OK. Never mind. OK, cool. Yeah. The truck has a slight problem.

88
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,880
Yeah, my truck has some slight problems too. I just want to double check my settings,

89
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,600
because the last thing I want to do is give a huge W to NVIDIA here, if it's just

90
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,880
that the settings are different. Do you want to pop the options open up there?

91
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,560
Yeah, there we go. No.

92
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,400
Dude. Bunch of highs all the way down. Dude, it's the same.

93
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,400
Well, yeah, they're doing their jobs.

94
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,920
Wild. Yeah, am I just running in completely the wrong resolution?

95
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,800
Not even a little bit. Nope, this is a clear win for NVIDIA.

96
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,880
They look the same. It's just way better for him right here.

97
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,880
Wow. All right, what's next? OK. Actually, are we at the same house right now?

98
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,280
Can you rotate your camera? Because I've got some really glitchy shadows

99
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,480
on this house over here. I don't play this game a lot, so I don't really

100
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,960
know if that's just a characteristic of the game. Keep rotating.

101
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,080
Keep going. Keep going. There's a house down the road that I want to see.

102
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,560
I'm not there. There. Oh, yeah, that's glitched. OK.

103
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,400
Cool. You see this one right here? Yeah. Yeah, so it looks like that's just

104
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,160
a characteristic of this game. That's just the engineer. Because your grass shadows too are super glitchy.

105
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,440
Yeah, they're real. All right, clear win for NVIDIA.

106
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,560
Next, what do we got?

107
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,760
I've seen this before. What are we playing?

108
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,440
This looks like Skyrim. Oh, Skyrim. Modded Skyrim, apparently.

109
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,120
OK. Does someone want to talk about what mods we're playing with

110
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,960
at all here? Let me just fix HDMI 1 one second. Whoa.

111
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:04,440
This dead horse just appeared from the ether.

112
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,880
That may be more of a Skyrim issue than an arc battle issue.

113
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,600
I mean, the game's only 100 years old. What do you want? I don't have battle mage.

114
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,920
You don't have battle mage? Oh. Let me check the matrix for you.

115
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,220
Thank you. Nice.

116
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,240
Oh, Lordy. We're working on it, guys.

117
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,520
Dan, do you want to hit me with a merge message? No. Oh, no, camera frozen.

118
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,440
Also, cam froze. Oh, no. Why?

119
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,120
Oh, no. What did you do? OK. Hey.

120
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,480
You have arc one again? Not other cameras working. This one works.

121
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,560
You have arc? Cool. Quad-HT9. FPS reveal is going to be crazy.

122
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:49,600
Heck yeah, guys.

123
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,240
Man camera. I swear to you all, we had everything working perfectly

124
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,840
before we started. It was working before it went wrong. Yeah.

125
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,000
OK. Yeah, cool. Look at the man camera back. Yeah, that's good.

126
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,240
You have arc one? Working on it.

127
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,360
Hey, I should have been an accountant.

128
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,920
Audio is apparently working, so that's cool.

129
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,000
One out of 15. Cam's back. Cam's back. Yeah.

130
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,120
So Andy's good. But I don't have HDMI one.

131
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:25,600
Arc battle mage still bad? What a host to know.

132
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:31,240
I can tell you guys about it. Oh, can you check the monitor output?

133
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,680
Refresh rate? I just don't have an input for it.

134
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:38,240
I mean, I'm getting it from the matrix as well, so I should be fine. OK, OK.

135
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:46,440
I'm getting about 125 to 135 in my lows,

136
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:51,480
and my averages are around 150 as I'm just kind of walking

137
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:58,360
around and oh, wow. I dipped down as low as like 110 when the dragon went overhead.

138
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,640
Meanwhile, oh, this is really close.

139
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:11,000
I think this is going to be a win for NVIDIA, though. I am never seeing anything as high as 180, whereas on arc,

140
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,160
whereas on NVIDIA, I clearly am.

141
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:20,880
I'm also not seeing lows that are dipping as low. My lows are more like 135.

142
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,000
Oh, there was a 125 there. Oh, yeah, but it's at 110 over there

143
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,640
with the dragon flying overhead. OK, so where's my dragon at, though, on NVIDIA?

144
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,320
That's camera. OK, I'm just gaming on NVIDIA here

145
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:38,160
while these guys try and figure out what's broken in our chain here.

146
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,560
On the game stream. It's the bottom of the matrix.

147
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:52,280
We're just going to. The monitor is getting the feed from the matrix.

148
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,440
We're just going to cut all this out, maybe.

149
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,360
Should we just go in the YouTube editor and just cut this out?

150
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,560
What do you guys think? Play another game. I'm kind of feeling it.

151
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:07,520
No, no, I don't want to play another game yet. I'd rather just, can we just cut this out of the edit?

152
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,120
We want to see if this is the problem, if the game is a problem.

153
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,520
Oh, you want me to try another game. Oh, sure, I can do that.

154
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,000
I can just go to the desktop. How's desktop game sound?

155
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,000
Stop it. Settings. I'm at 1080p.

156
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,120
I'm at 60 Hertz, 8-bit.

157
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,760
Anything? No. RGB.

158
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,840
Dynamic refresh rate is off. You plugged.

159
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,640
No. Can we come back to Skyrim?

160
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,760
I can go back to Skyrim, yes, sir. He's not in Skyrim right now. He's on the desktop.

161
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,400
A different game, and then come back to Skyrim after. Oh.

162
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,200
After a whole dive or something. I can do that.

163
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,880
So why is my mouse not working?

164
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,080
Is that interesting at all? Does the mouse doesn't work?

165
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,760
Oh, it works on the desktop. Weird.

166
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:09,720
This is weird. OK. Do you want me to just give this computer the old rebootie boot?

167
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,360
Let me take a gander. Hang on a second, I want to see. Sure.

168
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,560
OK, it's unplugged. LMG got hit with an EMP, only explanation.

169
00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:21,200
Right. Yeah, 100%. Because you mentioned Grand Theft Auto 6.

170
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,800
What's that? You mentioned Grand Theft Auto 6. Well, we shouldn't have done it.

171
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,240
We shouldn't have mentioned it. We shouldn't have done it. Nope.

172
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,240
All right.

173
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:37,680
All right, in theory, I sent a merge message, says Jax. Maybe I'll open up the dashboard.

174
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:41,200
Oh, no, if only I could remember the URL.

175
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,640
No, I think I got it. You'll be redirected shortly.

176
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,880
OK. I'm going to sign in, and then maybe I can just do some merge messages in the meantime

177
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,640
while we wait for us to get this resolved.

178
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,440
That shouldn't have impacted this. This is all white.

179
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,880
Nope. The dashboard is not working properly for me.

180
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,880
I'm having fun. This is fun.

181
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,880
Oh, sorry. Are we trying a new cable here, Jordan? Yep.

182
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,380
Cool.

183
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,880
Don't worry, our crack team is on it.

184
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,880
All right, that's back. OK. It's back?

185
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,880
Yeah. Oh, how exciting.

186
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,880
We back, Jordan? I think so. Let's go, buddy.

187
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,880
Let's go back. Heck yeah. OK.

188
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,880
I turned the wall. Skyrim, you won. Yay.

189
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,880
OK, let's move on. Sorry.

190
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,880
We had some stuff go on that I think we're going to need. OK.

191
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,880
OK. OK. OK.

192
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,880
OK. OK. OK.

193
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,880
Sorry. We had some stuff go on that I think we're going to cut from the vaude of this because,

194
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,880
frankly, it wasn't that entertaining. Let's move on.

195
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,880
I have no idea what this is. Helldivers.

196
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,880
Helldivers, OK. Here we go, boys. OK.

197
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,880
Frame view, I guess. Oh, this is rough. Wow.

198
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,880
Now, I am getting 95 FPS.

199
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,880
I am not. But as someone who has seen 95 FPS before.

200
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,880
This is rough. Hell you. This ain't it.

201
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,880
Watch this. What's wrong with your legs?

202
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,880
Is this game supposed to feel correct? This terrible?

203
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,880
I don't know. Oh, does it feel terrible for you, too?

204
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,880
Oh, yeah. It's garbage. Oh.

205
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,880
I've never played this. I don't know. Is this just a thing, you guys?

206
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,880
Does this game just suck? How dare you. Oh, we hit a nerve with Dan.

207
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,880
Because it does not. That's not very patriotic of you.

208
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,880
How do you run, Dan? This does not feel. Oh, I am running.

209
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:56,880
All right. Let me have a look. Someone says it's a bad map and it's just how it is sometimes.

210
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,880
That's, ooh, that's yikesy.

211
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,880
See how it feels. Okay. Oh, no, no, no.

212
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,880
No, no, no. It's so jello-y. No, no, no, no, no.

213
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,880
Okay. Is there an in-game setting that we have? Like your thread time.

214
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,880
All right. I am the Dan now. Something.

215
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,880
Try a different map. Go back to the ship. Render scale, native.

216
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,880
Camera shakes to, oh no, that shouldn't be it. Go back to the ship.

217
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,880
I don't know about you. Can I sync off? I mean, all of this looks fine.

218
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,880
Ultra. I guess I don't care.

219
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:33,880
Okay. Yeah. Let's go back to the ship alone.

220
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:39,880
Because the second I was watching Dan use it, I could see the problem.

221
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:46,880
It was almost like a, like a jello effect as he's moving around.

222
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,880
Super ugly. But some of you are saying that could be the map.

223
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,880
Some of you are saying it could be to do with the game's motion blur settings.

224
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,880
So in general, guys, kill any motion blur that you find.

225
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:05,880
Motion blur is terrible for in-game feel.

226
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,880
So where do I go?

227
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,880
I just hit a blind aim. Motion blur is cranked.

228
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:18,880
Okay. Okay. Let's run back and see if that fixes it.

229
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,880
Ew. Ew. That is nasty.

230
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:31,880
Nasty, Jess. Especially running at 140. Like our frame times are six milliseconds, which is great.

231
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:37,880
Blue. Let's just set it to low.

232
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,880
Okay. Graphic. Okay.

233
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:48,880
Hold on. Let me keep up with you here in terms of changes that we're making.

234
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,880
Is there a first, there's a first person view, right?

235
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,880
I don't think so. Oh really?

236
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,880
I don't know. Does it feel good? No, it really doesn't feel good.

237
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,880
Oh, now it's moving. Is that it? I doubt it.

238
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,880
Oh yeah. Is that it? Yeah, that's a lot better.

239
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,880
Oh, okay. All right. Good to know.

240
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:15,880
Why would you put that in your game?

241
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,880
Is that in gameplay or mouse and controller? Mouse and keyboard, mouse moving.

242
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,880
You feeling all right? You got the CES plague? No, I just have a coldish thing.

243
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,880
I mean, I'm like on day five, I'm probably not even contagious.

244
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,880
Better safe than safe. Okay.

245
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,880
So how do I, how do I go somewhere now?

246
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,880
Okay. I guess we have to pick a thing.

247
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,880
I don't really this game. So you'll, you'll have to help me pick the same thing as you.

248
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,880
That's fine. Galactic war. Super versus context.

249
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,880
Yeah. Okay. Okay.

250
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,880
Dismiss. Okay. And then I go there.

251
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,880
I go to the purple one. I guess we'll go to Amra. Yeah, sure.

252
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,880
Okay. And then find, I don't know, your health.

253
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,880
Yeah, just hit dismiss. Okay.

254
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,880
Look on the purple thing. You bet. That's highlighted.

255
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,880
Okay. All right. Let's go.

256
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,880
See if you can find a similar location to me. I'm not in the red area.

257
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,880
Okay. I'm on the planet. Let's go to Australia.

258
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,880
Yeah. Is this Australia? Oh, no, we can't go to Australia.

259
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,880
Okay. Let's go to New Zealand. It's going to pick a different one.

260
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,880
Okay. Cool. All right.

261
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,880
Let's see how it goes. I don't like computers.

262
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,880
That's pretty fair.

263
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,880
All right. Thanks, Dan. Bye.

264
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:49,880
See you later. Oh, man. Well, hey, I'm having fun.

265
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,880
Am I though?

266
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,880
Okay. What's the BGT benchmark for?

267
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,880
Oh, I'm ready. Oh, no.

268
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,880
Oh, is this how? Okay.

269
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,880
I have to, like, pick stuff. I don't know. Sure.

270
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,880
Whatever. I'm ready. All right.

271
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,880
I feel bad for my squad mates because I have no idea how to this game.

272
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,880
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here.

273
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,880
Oh, you get ready. Yeah. You have to pick inventory items.

274
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,880
Okay. And then, yeah. And then.

275
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,880
And then it will drop you down. I've been kicked from the game.

276
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,880
That's probably fair. Yeah, that's fine.

277
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,880
That makes a ton of sense. Okay, cool.

278
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,880
Okay. I want to kick you too. Now there's some action.

279
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,880
So we can kind of see what to expect.

280
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,880
It's definitely better than it was before. We should not have had motion blur and mouse moving on.

281
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,880
I'm getting, like, a little high 120s. I would double check your settings.

282
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,880
Okay. Just make sure you're both on, like, whatever I did.

283
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,880
This is the ultra preset, I think. Yeah.

284
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,880
Okay. Yeah, because that looks too much more higher. Yeah, I'm on low now.

285
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,880
Yeah. Okay. So ultra preset.

286
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,880
Motion blur off. Yeah. Okay.

287
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,880
Perfect. Perfect. Wait, wait.

288
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,880
You've got a bunch of stuff that's still lowest. Okay, yeah, we're good. Okay, cool.

289
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,880
I hadn't applied yet. How are we looking? So around 60.

290
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,880
Oh, wow. A little bit higher for R. I think this might be a, I think this might be a tidy little W for Arc here.

291
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,880
Yeah. Yeah, I'm not getting better than 60 really.

292
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,880
Interesting. I'm in the 70s, 80s.

293
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,880
I'm going to try and find some more dense foliage though.

294
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,880
Okay. You're in a different...

295
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,880
I have found some dense zombies. Area.

296
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,880
We are in a different... Wow, we're in a different...

297
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,880
The same planet. Environment. Like, he's fighting.

298
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,880
So if I fight something, maybe that'll help, but I don't know if I can actually...

299
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,880
Fight some fire. Can I fight anything, Dan, if I'm kicked from the game?

300
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,880
Oh, yeah, yeah, you're fine. Okay.

301
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,880
That wasn't very patriotic of them. I'll go try and find something to fight. Oh, are you dead already?

302
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,880
I'm a little bit dead. Okay. To be fair, you're not mad at us, so...

303
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,880
I would kick you as well. How do I find something to fight?

304
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,880
Shoot until they shoot back.

305
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,880
Thank you, Jordan.

306
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,880
Glad to help out.

307
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,880
I think I've seen enough to call this a win though.

308
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,880
All right. Win for Ark. Let's move on to our next game.

309
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,880
Are we ready? We're not ready. Yep, you're ready.

310
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,880
Oh, we are? Yep, place him. All right.

311
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,880
Let's go. Oh, just the board isn't refreshing.

312
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,880
That's all. Wolf... You want to hit reload on there?

313
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,520
WolfistWolf says, I am going to say 4060 has multiple players and is during the day that

314
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:44,580
will impact performance. Yes, that is very true.

315
00:21:44,580 --> 00:21:49,580
I suspect not that much more though.

316
00:21:49,580 --> 00:21:52,580
Okay, ready to fly. Here we go. Okay.

317
00:21:52,580 --> 00:21:56,580
You appear to be in New York. Oh, we're still got Skyrim on here.

318
00:21:56,580 --> 00:22:00,580
Is my controller supposed to be doing anything? Presumably a Vicky Fly.

319
00:22:00,580 --> 00:22:04,580
Neat. Keep default. Hey, there we go.

320
00:22:04,580 --> 00:22:09,580
Boom, that helps. Oh, wow.

321
00:22:09,580 --> 00:22:12,580
This is not running great.

322
00:22:12,580 --> 00:22:15,580
Also, I need frame view. I'm getting like 50 frames.

323
00:22:15,580 --> 00:22:19,580
Okay. That is a bad camera angle. I don't know if I'm getting 50 here.

324
00:22:19,580 --> 00:22:23,580
That didn't go well. Yeah, I am not getting 50 FPS.

325
00:22:23,580 --> 00:22:26,580
How do I throttle up? Yes.

326
00:22:26,580 --> 00:22:29,580
I need a bit more throttle. That ain't it.

327
00:22:29,580 --> 00:22:32,580
That's the rudder. Okay. No, here we go.

328
00:22:32,580 --> 00:22:35,580
I found that. A is throttle up. Okay, good.

329
00:22:35,580 --> 00:22:38,580
Or maybe an X. I'm not sure. Where's my ailerons?

330
00:22:38,580 --> 00:22:41,580
I flew RC planes a couple of times.

331
00:22:41,580 --> 00:22:44,580
Okay, there we go. Okay, here we go, boys. Okay.

332
00:22:44,580 --> 00:22:48,580
Oh, my goodness. Please tell me this isn't New York.

333
00:22:48,580 --> 00:22:52,580
It is New York. Oh, God. Let's get that very badly for us.

334
00:22:52,580 --> 00:22:56,580
Ah, we now know why merge messages are not working.

335
00:22:56,580 --> 00:22:59,580
Oh, we're fixing merge messages. Heck yeah. No.

336
00:22:59,580 --> 00:23:03,580
I thought maybe just nobody liked us anymore. Webhooks are down from Shopify.

337
00:23:03,580 --> 00:23:06,580
Okay. Okay, so we may not be able to fix it.

338
00:23:06,580 --> 00:23:10,580
No, we can't fix it. Hooray. This is a great day for tech.

339
00:23:10,580 --> 00:23:15,580
Yay. Truly a great day for Canada and therefore the world.

340
00:23:15,580 --> 00:23:18,580
Okay. How do we look in Jordan?

341
00:23:18,580 --> 00:23:22,580
No. You are crushing me. Consistently high 50s.

342
00:23:22,580 --> 00:23:25,580
You are crushing me in this game.

343
00:23:25,580 --> 00:23:30,580
Oh, your CPU is crazy too. Dude, are you seeing my dips here, brother?

344
00:23:30,580 --> 00:23:35,580
Like, I am getting dips that feel like 40 millisecond frame times.

345
00:23:35,580 --> 00:23:38,580
Wow. Like, oh, maybe higher.

346
00:23:38,580 --> 00:23:41,580
Maybe more like 60 actually thinking about it. Oh God.

347
00:23:41,580 --> 00:23:45,580
I'm getting low, low frame times too, actually, but.

348
00:23:45,580 --> 00:23:49,580
Sorry. Yeah, this is a very busy map.

349
00:23:49,580 --> 00:23:53,580
This is not great. There's a lot of buildings to render.

350
00:23:53,580 --> 00:23:57,580
But that's the whole point, right? Like, that's what we're trying to do.

351
00:23:57,580 --> 00:24:01,580
We're trying to see what a bad scenario looks like.

352
00:24:01,580 --> 00:24:06,580
I'm also in a very slow plane, but I can't fix that.

353
00:24:06,580 --> 00:24:11,580
Man, I'm clearly going to need to log a lot more hours in this game

354
00:24:11,580 --> 00:24:14,580
before we actually move forward with our tech plane.

355
00:24:14,580 --> 00:24:17,580
Those who watch WAN Show will know.

356
00:24:17,580 --> 00:24:21,580
What do you think, Jordan? Would that be pretty fun? Teching out a plane?

357
00:24:21,580 --> 00:24:24,580
Would you be down? Who's our pilot?

358
00:24:24,580 --> 00:24:27,580
Not me. Okay, then we're okay with this.

359
00:24:27,580 --> 00:24:31,580
Yeah. As long as you stay out of the cockpit, we'll be okay.

360
00:24:31,580 --> 00:24:34,580
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm all about shuttle cocks, not cockpits.

361
00:24:34,580 --> 00:24:37,580
All right. Slightly different.

362
00:24:37,580 --> 00:24:40,580
Yeah, pretty different. We've got a cruise ship over here.

363
00:24:40,580 --> 00:24:44,580
Okay. Oh. You know what?

364
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:48,580
Okay, hold on a second. Let's try and find kind of the same spot.

365
00:24:48,580 --> 00:24:51,580
Okay, where's that cruise ship at? In the water.

366
00:24:51,580 --> 00:24:56,580
What a dick! Here, I'll go to downtown Manhattan, Heliport.

367
00:24:56,580 --> 00:24:59,580
Manhattan, Heliport. Okay.

368
00:24:59,580 --> 00:25:02,580
How the devil am I supposed to find that, sir?

369
00:25:02,580 --> 00:25:05,580
We'll go to South. How about we go to Central Park? Okay, fine.

370
00:25:05,580 --> 00:25:11,580
Okay, because that's where I am. Oh, jeez, cheater.

371
00:25:11,580 --> 00:25:15,580
Oh, Lordy. Okay. You gotta get to the altitude to figure out where I am here.

372
00:25:15,580 --> 00:25:19,580
Okay, rudder. Bibbit. Bibbit, bit, bit, bit.

373
00:25:19,580 --> 00:25:22,580
Oh, there we are. Okay. Ooh, I got a rainbow.

374
00:25:22,580 --> 00:25:25,580
Okay, I want us both to kind of fly. Oh, you found the park?

375
00:25:25,580 --> 00:25:28,580
I'm working on it, yeah. Oh, heck yeah, what a guy. Okay.

376
00:25:28,580 --> 00:25:32,580
Oh, dude, you're two nautical miles away. You're playing so slow.

377
00:25:32,580 --> 00:25:40,580
It's the same plane. It's mine. Because the altitude we're flying at is making a pretty big difference.

378
00:25:40,580 --> 00:25:43,580
Oh, God. What did you just do?

379
00:25:43,580 --> 00:25:46,580
Don't worry about it. All right. Oh, crap.

380
00:25:46,580 --> 00:25:49,580
Pull up. Pull up. Darn it.

381
00:25:49,580 --> 00:25:52,580
So, I'm at the park now.

382
00:25:52,580 --> 00:25:55,580
How you doing? Not as good as that.

383
00:25:55,580 --> 00:25:58,580
I think this is a clear win card video. Oh, 350 still, yeah.

384
00:25:58,580 --> 00:26:03,580
In terms of performance, right? Pricing is obviously going to be a factor.

385
00:26:03,580 --> 00:26:06,580
Yep. Park looks nice. Strong W, though.

386
00:26:06,580 --> 00:26:09,580
Oh, hey, look, I started right above the park.

387
00:26:09,580 --> 00:26:12,580
Hey. Oh, dude, how well did that work? Okay.

388
00:26:12,580 --> 00:26:16,080
We're both at kind of opposite ends, but I'm going to try to get to a similar altitude to you.

389
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,080
So, I'm around, okay. I'm going to come down. I'm like 700 feet.

390
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,580
Oh, 700 feet? Cool. I'll come back up before I crash again.

391
00:26:22,580 --> 00:26:25,580
Okay, around 700 feet. 58 FPS.

392
00:26:25,580 --> 00:26:29,580
Yeah. You're like 20% better than me.

393
00:26:29,580 --> 00:26:32,580
This is not close. Yep. All right.

394
00:26:32,580 --> 00:26:35,580
I think we should move on to our next one.

395
00:26:35,580 --> 00:26:41,580
I don't think we have a next one yet. You don't have the next one yet?

396
00:26:41,580 --> 00:26:45,580
That makes sense. Are we just buying it? We are trying to.

397
00:26:45,580 --> 00:26:51,580
Oh. Oh. Did you just need me to just give you a card?

398
00:26:51,580 --> 00:26:54,580
Nope. Okay. We have bought it.

399
00:26:54,580 --> 00:26:57,580
Oh, okay. Nice. Wow.

400
00:26:57,580 --> 00:27:00,580
What a guy. No, no. You're doing great.

401
00:27:00,580 --> 00:27:03,580
Dude, dude. No. I mean, look.

402
00:27:03,580 --> 00:27:06,580
When I said 50 games, that was... Optimistic?

403
00:27:06,580 --> 00:27:12,580
Very optimistic. Oh, my. We'll get to as many games as we can, and we're going to have a heck of a time doing it.

404
00:27:12,580 --> 00:27:18,580
That's simple. George says, Reese, you're killing it.

405
00:27:18,580 --> 00:27:24,580
Thanks, man. Hey, I didn't even crash the plane while I went to do that.

406
00:27:24,580 --> 00:27:27,580
That's awesome. Don't stand behind the monitor, Linus.

407
00:27:28,580 --> 00:27:31,580
It's taller than you. George says you're welcome.

408
00:27:31,580 --> 00:27:41,580
This is my new role. I just act as the interpreter between chat and the people here.

409
00:27:41,580 --> 00:27:44,580
Chat says something horribly toxic.

410
00:27:44,580 --> 00:27:51,580
What they mean to say is, our weird parasocial relationship is probably unhealthy, and we

411
00:27:51,580 --> 00:27:54,580
need to reflect on ourselves. Our weird parasocial... No, no, no.

412
00:27:54,580 --> 00:27:57,580
Not you and me. There's with us. Just kidding.

413
00:27:57,580 --> 00:28:00,580
Chat's actually been super wholesome today.

414
00:28:00,580 --> 00:28:09,580
For now. Just teasing you guys. Cthulhu says, with merch messages broken, can I call them a scam?

415
00:28:09,580 --> 00:28:13,580
No, because I can still chat. No, I think scam has to have an intent.

416
00:28:13,580 --> 00:28:17,580
Does scam have to have an intent? It certainly has a connotation of an intent.

417
00:28:17,580 --> 00:28:20,580
Oh, I've got 14 now. Oh, are they coming in?

418
00:28:20,580 --> 00:28:23,580
I don't know. Let me just keep on top of it.

419
00:28:23,580 --> 00:28:26,580
So, I'll let you know.

420
00:28:26,580 --> 00:28:29,580
Okay, do you have one for me?

421
00:28:29,580 --> 00:28:33,580
Yeah, let me read them.

422
00:28:33,580 --> 00:28:38,580
I have some fun news that I can share.

423
00:28:38,580 --> 00:28:43,580
For those of you who care about shuttle cocks like I do, Smash Champs got its new courts

424
00:28:43,580 --> 00:28:48,580
delivered today. So, they are there right now being unloaded.

425
00:28:48,580 --> 00:28:54,580
So, hopefully sometime in the next, let's say three weeks to a month, the whole thing

426
00:28:54,580 --> 00:28:59,580
will actually be done. Maybe we could do another video update. I think we're still waiting on the city for some of the land stuff.

427
00:28:59,580 --> 00:29:05,580
But my understanding is that Chase is moving forward full steam with the assumption that

428
00:29:05,580 --> 00:29:10,580
we're going to get our temporary use permit figured out. So, whale land.

429
00:29:10,580 --> 00:29:14,580
Whale land is hopefully going to be a thing.

430
00:29:14,580 --> 00:29:17,580
What else can I do? Dan. I've got some for you now.

431
00:29:17,580 --> 00:29:22,580
Hit me, Dan. I'm saving you. Thank goodness.

432
00:29:22,580 --> 00:29:25,580
When are you going to make an LTT UK store?

433
00:29:25,580 --> 00:29:28,580
An LTT? UK. United Kingdom.

434
00:29:28,580 --> 00:29:35,580
Ah, UK store. Okay. So, this is one that obviously we've got a ton of feedback from people on.

435
00:29:35,580 --> 00:29:44,580
Our, I'm trying to think actually, our second biggest viewer market is Europe for sure.

436
00:29:44,580 --> 00:29:51,580
But is it the UK? Um, that's a good question that I'm not 100% sure of the answer yet.

437
00:29:51,580 --> 00:29:57,580
I will look right now. Yes, it is. Our second biggest viewing block is the United Kingdom after the United States.

438
00:29:57,580 --> 00:30:00,580
So, we're about 33% US, which used to be higher actually.

439
00:30:00,580 --> 00:30:04,580
It used to be more like 40 plus. Um, now it's 33.

440
00:30:04,580 --> 00:30:07,580
UK has grown a lot. We're at like 8% there.

441
00:30:07,580 --> 00:30:10,580
Uh, 5.7% Canada. That's our home turf.

442
00:30:10,580 --> 00:30:13,580
So, we're a little over represented in Canadian viewership.

443
00:30:13,580 --> 00:30:16,580
But that kind of makes sense compared to population, I mean.

444
00:30:16,580 --> 00:30:19,580
Uh, and then Germany actually.

445
00:30:19,580 --> 00:30:24,580
Then India. Then Australia, Netherlands, Philippines, Sweden, Poland, and other.

446
00:30:24,580 --> 00:30:28,580
Um, so, you guys are probably looking at that going, well, it's obvious.

447
00:30:28,580 --> 00:30:33,580
You guys should have a UK store. The challenge is inventory.

448
00:30:33,580 --> 00:30:36,580
Go on LTT Store right now. I dare you.

449
00:30:36,580 --> 00:30:41,580
You don't have to buy anything. Just go to the store. And look at how many items are out of stock.

450
00:30:41,580 --> 00:30:45,580
That's not because our team is just a bunch of incompetent jackals.

451
00:30:45,580 --> 00:30:49,580
That's because our items are highly custom.

452
00:30:49,580 --> 00:30:54,580
Even our blank shirts, our custom blank shirts manufactured just for us.

453
00:30:54,580 --> 00:30:59,580
Um, very few of the things that we sell are just resold from some other

454
00:30:59,580 --> 00:31:05,580
warehouser or distributor that we can quickly and easily order replenishment inventory from.

455
00:31:05,580 --> 00:31:10,580
So what that means is that managing the supply chain is something that A,

456
00:31:10,580 --> 00:31:14,580
we came into this with no experience with and we've had to learn a lot as we go.

457
00:31:14,580 --> 00:31:20,580
And B, with the sheer volume of skews that we carry is really, really challenging.

458
00:31:20,580 --> 00:31:24,580
Because you look at this and you see a shirt.

459
00:31:24,580 --> 00:31:30,580
I look at this and I see three different colors of blanks.

460
00:31:30,580 --> 00:31:36,580
Times, you multiply, you don't add, times six different sizes.

461
00:31:36,580 --> 00:31:41,580
So now every, like shirt potentially, right?

462
00:31:41,580 --> 00:31:50,580
Not everything has multiple color ways, but every, every shirt can easily be a dozen to a couple of dozen skews or stock keeping units.

463
00:31:50,580 --> 00:31:57,580
And it's the same for basically anything. You look at these and you see some pretty cool cargo pants with magnetic flaps

464
00:31:57,580 --> 00:32:01,580
and tons of great pockets for, you know, your phone or whatever else.

465
00:32:01,580 --> 00:32:05,580
I look at them and I see a bunch of different sizes,

466
00:32:05,580 --> 00:32:08,580
times a bunch of different inseam lengths potentially.

467
00:32:08,580 --> 00:32:11,580
We are adding an inseam length to the cargo pants in our restock.

468
00:32:11,580 --> 00:32:15,580
Times color ways, we're adding a navy blue at some point in the future.

469
00:32:15,580 --> 00:32:20,580
So I look at it and I see 60 stock keeping units.

470
00:32:20,580 --> 00:32:25,580
As you guys can probably imagine, some skews are a little more popular than others.

471
00:32:25,580 --> 00:32:31,580
So your, your, your black shirt in medium is going to sell a little bit more than your, you know,

472
00:32:31,580 --> 00:32:37,580
olive design in Kudruple XL or, you know, or, or, or extra small or whatever, right?

473
00:32:37,580 --> 00:32:43,580
So those, those, those, those average, average user skews are going to sell a little bit better.

474
00:32:43,580 --> 00:32:47,580
However, there are factors that you can't really predict.

475
00:32:47,580 --> 00:32:53,580
Some styles, for instance, seem to really resonate with the, the big end tall crowd.

476
00:32:53,580 --> 00:32:57,580
Whereas other styles seem to really resonate with the more petite crowd.

477
00:32:57,580 --> 00:33:03,580
And it's, it's not always something that we could recognize the pattern in.

478
00:33:03,580 --> 00:33:08,580
So keeping everything in stock across all variants and all sizes,

479
00:33:08,580 --> 00:33:13,580
really, really, really, really flip in challenging, really difficult.

480
00:33:13,580 --> 00:33:18,580
You want to play a game? Now we want to do that across an ocean.

481
00:33:18,580 --> 00:33:22,580
So we need to make sure that when we get our, our order mix, right?

482
00:33:22,580 --> 00:33:28,580
When it's perfect, we get our order split across our various warehouse locations, right?

483
00:33:28,580 --> 00:33:34,580
And someday I want to, I want to very, very, very, very, very, very much.

484
00:33:34,580 --> 00:33:41,580
But it is not this day. The other thing that I think people are not factoring in is I signed a quarter million

485
00:33:41,580 --> 00:33:45,580
dollar check yesterday for our logistics company.

486
00:33:45,580 --> 00:33:49,580
That is not an abnormal thing for me to do.

487
00:33:49,580 --> 00:33:55,580
It's really, really, really expensive, storing inventory and having people staff,

488
00:33:55,580 --> 00:33:58,580
having staff in a warehouse, picking, packing, shipping.

489
00:33:58,580 --> 00:34:04,580
And because we have so many SKUs and so much of our stuff is so custom and unique,

490
00:34:04,580 --> 00:34:07,580
there's, there's training required.

491
00:34:07,580 --> 00:34:11,580
We can't just like, unless it's just like, ask you of the screwdriver.

492
00:34:11,580 --> 00:34:18,580
Just throw it in some random 3PL and hope that their fulfillment accuracy is going to be decent.

493
00:34:18,580 --> 00:34:23,580
So if we were to have another DC, the distribution center somewhere else,

494
00:34:23,580 --> 00:34:26,580
well now that's overhead. I'm paying for it.

495
00:34:26,580 --> 00:34:29,580
Like I'm paying for the storage regardless of whether we ship anything.

496
00:34:29,580 --> 00:34:34,580
I'm paying for the training. I'm paying for the setup. Who do you think pays for it?

497
00:34:34,580 --> 00:34:40,580
You. So right now, yeah, our shipping costs from the Canadian DC are really expensive in other regions.

498
00:34:40,580 --> 00:34:43,580
And you have to pay for that.

499
00:34:43,580 --> 00:34:46,580
But if we have a DC in another region and it adds a bunch of overhead,

500
00:34:46,580 --> 00:34:55,580
you're going to pay for that too. So the difference may not be as much as you think is kind of where I'm going with this.

501
00:34:55,580 --> 00:34:59,580
Like you look around at other like merch stores, you know, other YouTubers.

502
00:34:59,580 --> 00:35:03,580
It is not uncommon for their t-shirts to be $35, $40.

503
00:35:03,580 --> 00:35:08,580
Ours are 20. So yeah, you're going to pay $25 in shipping.

504
00:35:08,580 --> 00:35:12,580
But like and not everything's like that.

505
00:35:12,580 --> 00:35:15,580
Some of our stuff is quite premium and is priced on the higher side.

506
00:35:15,580 --> 00:35:19,580
But I'm just saying there's this is not black and white.

507
00:35:19,580 --> 00:35:26,580
And there's a lot more nuance to it than just Linus is too cheap to have a UK distribution center.

508
00:35:26,580 --> 00:35:29,580
Okay. I got to see us two going for you.

509
00:35:29,580 --> 00:35:32,580
Let's go. All right.

510
00:35:32,580 --> 00:35:35,580
Where are we at in the map? Yep. Yes.

511
00:35:35,580 --> 00:35:38,580
That's your answer. Wherever you started.

512
00:35:38,580 --> 00:35:43,580
Okay. Cool. I'm heading towards getting dead.

513
00:35:43,580 --> 00:35:48,580
Let's go. I'm heading towards, man, I haven't played.

514
00:35:48,580 --> 00:35:53,580
This is Italy, right? I haven't played Italy since 1.6.

515
00:35:53,580 --> 00:35:56,580
Banana B. Rush B. Oh.

516
00:35:56,580 --> 00:35:59,580
What's that? Rush B. Okay.

517
00:35:59,580 --> 00:36:02,580
I'm heading to B. Let's head to B. I don't know where that is.

518
00:36:02,580 --> 00:36:08,580
Okay. So your highs are definitely more higher than mine.

519
00:36:08,580 --> 00:36:11,580
Sorry guys. Y'all. Y'all.

520
00:36:11,580 --> 00:36:14,580
A little bit. B is this way.

521
00:36:14,580 --> 00:36:20,580
Okay. I'm in B. Maybe not as higher as I thought maybe they were.

522
00:36:20,580 --> 00:36:25,580
The performance is definitely very different depending on where you are in this map.

523
00:36:25,580 --> 00:36:29,580
So hanging around in B. This is about the lowest I've seen.

524
00:36:29,580 --> 00:36:35,580
And I guess just because I'm looking down this range.

525
00:36:35,580 --> 00:36:41,580
But I'm getting averages as low as like 135.

526
00:36:41,580 --> 00:36:48,580
You know, I'm seeing dips to 100, more like 160, 150 a bit more commonly than that.

527
00:36:48,580 --> 00:36:52,580
Mostly in the high 130s.

528
00:36:52,580 --> 00:36:55,580
Interesting. Are you at B yet though? No.

529
00:36:55,580 --> 00:36:58,580
It's very different depending where you are. I have not been able to get to B.

530
00:36:58,580 --> 00:37:02,580
I mean, I believe in you brother. You got this.

531
00:37:02,580 --> 00:37:09,580
You got this. I can't count that high.

532
00:37:09,580 --> 00:37:14,580
I believe in you. You're going to get to B and it's going to be glorious.

533
00:37:14,580 --> 00:37:18,580
And then I'm going to die or something. It's going to be awesome.

534
00:37:18,580 --> 00:37:21,580
Do I still have any health? Am I still?

535
00:37:21,580 --> 00:37:24,580
Oh yeah. So that's any health. Okay.

536
00:37:24,580 --> 00:37:28,580
Okay. Here we go. I think this is inferno.

537
00:37:28,580 --> 00:37:31,580
Oh inferno. Sorry. Thanks Chase.

538
00:37:31,580 --> 00:37:36,580
I knew I could count on. Like 160, 170, but lows are like 80.

539
00:37:36,580 --> 00:37:40,580
This is looking like it might be a win for me.

540
00:37:40,580 --> 00:37:43,580
I think it might be. It's not a big one though.

541
00:37:43,580 --> 00:37:49,580
It's really close. But my lows, 68 just there.

542
00:37:49,580 --> 00:37:53,580
I think this is going to be a tie. This looks like a draw to me.

543
00:37:53,580 --> 00:37:57,580
It's pretty close. What do you guys think? There's snow in the Floatplane chat.

544
00:37:57,580 --> 00:38:04,580
What do you guys think? They want me to shoot the water.

545
00:38:04,580 --> 00:38:09,580
I'm not convinced that's having a huge impact guys.

546
00:38:09,580 --> 00:38:12,580
The water's right back apparently. Yeah.

547
00:38:12,580 --> 00:38:17,580
Slight favor for Intel or tie? I think I'm going to go with tie on this one Dan.

548
00:38:17,580 --> 00:38:20,580
It's close enough. Okay. Is our next one ready boys?

549
00:38:20,580 --> 00:38:25,580
You sure do love having a story.

550
00:38:25,580 --> 00:38:32,580
Reese is fighting his way through the intro cinematic.

551
00:38:32,580 --> 00:38:37,580
See you in two hours. We can talk about our sponsor a little bit if you want to jump to that.

552
00:38:37,580 --> 00:38:43,580
Yeah, we could do that. Are you on your prompter? Poor Andy has got the stupid teleprompter on just because I need to do the sponsor spot.

553
00:38:43,580 --> 00:38:46,580
Okay, well why don't we talk about the sponsor and then we'll ditch the teleprompter.

554
00:38:46,580 --> 00:38:49,580
Thanks again to Green Man Gaming for sponsoring this stream.

559
00:39:11,580 --> 00:39:17,580
Oh, I need to get that. Or, oh, but maybe you think Final Fantasy needs a better naming scheme for their games and sequels

560
00:39:17,580 --> 00:39:21,580
and you'd rather get 10% off like a dragon pirate yakuza in Hawaii.

561
00:39:21,580 --> 00:39:27,580
Way better name. Yeah, it's a way better name. Or 28% off Virtua Fighter V Revo.

562
00:39:27,580 --> 00:39:33,580
And all these discounts are before any additional savings that might come with your new gold XP status.

563
00:39:33,580 --> 00:39:39,580
Offers an availability vary by region. Check out Green Man Gaming for yourself at the link in the video description.

564
00:39:39,580 --> 00:39:42,580
Andy, do you just want to ditch the prompter for a little bit?

565
00:39:42,580 --> 00:39:45,580
I feel like that would be nice for Andy to not have to deal with that.

566
00:39:45,580 --> 00:39:48,580
Cool. Andy has an assistant to help him do that even.

567
00:39:48,580 --> 00:39:52,580
Should we close this down and maybe you and I start launching another game over here while they fight with that?

568
00:39:52,580 --> 00:39:57,580
All right. Is there a particular one that is next in the queue?

569
00:39:57,580 --> 00:40:00,580
We could just fire up Horizon?

570
00:40:00,580 --> 00:40:06,580
Forza? Okay, let's fire up Forza Horizon 5.

571
00:40:06,580 --> 00:40:10,580
Cool. All right, Dan, do you have a merge message for me?

572
00:40:10,580 --> 00:40:15,580
I'm having some issues with your mic. Horizon needs the Xbox logo and it's a pain in the butt.

573
00:40:15,580 --> 00:40:18,580
Oh.

574
00:40:18,580 --> 00:40:22,580
I thought you meant Zero Dawn. Oh, I could do Horizon Zero Dawn?

575
00:40:22,580 --> 00:40:25,580
Okay. I love Horizon Zero Dawn. Yeah, I've got a...

576
00:40:25,580 --> 00:40:28,580
Or I've got a merge message for you. Oh, there you go.

577
00:40:28,580 --> 00:40:31,580
You got a merge message. All right. Hey, me, Dan.

578
00:40:31,580 --> 00:40:34,580
Sure. Complete addition? Remastered, I would think.

579
00:40:34,580 --> 00:40:37,580
Oh, yeah. Hello, LCT.

580
00:40:37,580 --> 00:40:44,580
I have a 1080 non-TI and have upgraded every part of my PC except the GPU.

581
00:40:44,580 --> 00:40:51,580
Would you suggest a 5090 or a used 4090 for someone who could afford it but is still very, very cheap?

582
00:40:51,580 --> 00:40:58,580
I think I'd have a hard time recommending a 90 card.

583
00:40:58,580 --> 00:41:06,580
I'm in a similar boat. Anything with a 90 at the end to anyone who describes themselves as super cheap.

584
00:41:06,580 --> 00:41:09,580
Yeah. Me?

585
00:41:09,580 --> 00:41:13,580
You know what? Let's play eBay Simulator.

586
00:41:13,580 --> 00:41:16,580
All right.

587
00:41:16,580 --> 00:41:28,580
I would hazard a guess that 3090s are probably starting to look kind of interesting.

588
00:41:28,580 --> 00:41:31,580
RTX.

589
00:41:31,580 --> 00:41:35,580
Nope. They are not looking especially interesting.

590
00:41:35,580 --> 00:41:38,580
Wow, it is amazing.

591
00:41:38,580 --> 00:41:49,580
When all the new cards are using AI Framegen in order to achieve more FPS, how the older cards that have the grunt...

592
00:41:49,580 --> 00:41:52,580
You lost dollars, brother.

593
00:41:52,580 --> 00:41:56,580
That's like 1,100 Canadian. Why not compared to the rest of these?

594
00:41:56,580 --> 00:41:59,580
Yeah. The rest of them are auctions.

595
00:42:00,580 --> 00:42:03,580
It's still too much.

596
00:42:03,580 --> 00:42:11,580
If it was me and I was looking for bang for the buck, I have a 3080 in my daily driver gaming rig downstairs.

597
00:42:11,580 --> 00:42:16,580
I almost never use my upstairs one for gaming anymore because I've been playing more games with my son.

598
00:42:16,580 --> 00:42:19,580
So it's nice if we can sit next to each other.

599
00:42:19,580 --> 00:42:23,580
Oh yeah, sure. I'll get it. Sorry, boys.

600
00:42:23,580 --> 00:42:27,580
So I'm running a 3080 there. A 3080?

601
00:42:27,580 --> 00:42:36,580
It still handles everything. However, if you're an affluent gamer who's just like, realistically, I am considering a 4090.

602
00:42:36,580 --> 00:42:39,580
I don't know, dude. Yeah.

603
00:42:39,580 --> 00:42:43,580
Or a 5090, rather. I don't know. Yeah, maybe just go 4090.

604
00:42:43,580 --> 00:42:54,580
Here's the problem, though. Here's the problem. If you buy a 4090 today, you are buying last generation's technology at a price per frame that is pretty much equal to today's generation technology.

605
00:42:55,580 --> 00:42:58,580
Yeah. I'm in a very similar place.

606
00:42:58,580 --> 00:43:02,580
I'm on a 1080 Ti still because the upgrade is just not worth it.

607
00:43:02,580 --> 00:43:12,580
It's too bloody much to upgrade. So my issue here is that because the 5090 looks like in terms of raw raster, sorry, I know too much to speculate,

608
00:43:12,580 --> 00:43:17,580
there are rumors that the raw raster will be some amount more, right?

609
00:43:17,580 --> 00:43:23,580
Yep. And it'll have better AI stuff and it'll have better ray tracing stuff and all that, which is super cool.

610
00:43:23,580 --> 00:43:31,580
But because it's like a bit more and is priced a bit more, my concern is that 4090s aren't really going to drop in value that much.

611
00:43:31,580 --> 00:43:34,580
No. I don't think they will for a long time.

612
00:43:34,580 --> 00:43:42,580
So if I want to bang for the buck, that 3090 actually looks not bad.

613
00:43:42,580 --> 00:43:51,580
Maybe going in and if you can swing a deal on a 4070 Super or Ti.

614
00:43:52,580 --> 00:43:57,580
Or, I mean, look, I make okay money.

615
00:43:57,580 --> 00:44:00,580
I'm going to treat myself. I'm buying a 5090.

616
00:44:00,580 --> 00:44:03,580
Yeah. Is it a good deal? No.

617
00:44:03,580 --> 00:44:06,580
Do I really want to give NVIDIA that money? Not really.

618
00:44:06,580 --> 00:44:09,580
But yeah, sometimes you got to treat yourself.

619
00:44:09,580 --> 00:44:13,580
Gaming is one of the things that I do to entertain myself.

620
00:44:13,580 --> 00:44:17,580
And realistically, like, okay, here's an example.

621
00:44:17,580 --> 00:44:27,580
Badminton shuttles, Feather shuttle cocks, have gone up in price faster than, I think they probably outpaced the S&P 500 last year.

622
00:44:27,580 --> 00:44:37,580
Wow. Like if I had bought a million dollars worth of badminton shuttles, my investment, looking, I didn't.

623
00:44:37,580 --> 00:44:44,580
But a tube of Yonex AS50s, I think it is, is like 70 plus Canadian dollars now.

624
00:44:44,580 --> 00:44:48,580
My goodness. A few short years ago, they were like 35, 40.

625
00:44:48,580 --> 00:44:51,580
So there's their skyrocketing.

626
00:44:51,580 --> 00:45:03,580
And so I guess what I'm trying to say is I can play badminton for one evening between the court rental and between probably the half a dozen or so shuttles that I'm going to go through.

627
00:45:03,580 --> 00:45:06,580
It's going to cost me like 50 bucks.

628
00:45:06,580 --> 00:45:18,580
Yeah. If every time I gamed for a couple of hours, I put aside $50 for it, which I could amortize so, so much better.

629
00:45:18,580 --> 00:45:26,580
Even if I spent money on a 5090. Like, like my, my, my, my entertainment per hour cost for gaming is actually not that high.

630
00:45:26,580 --> 00:45:29,580
Even now. You didn't buy a building for gaming.

631
00:45:29,580 --> 00:45:36,580
Oh, okay. Well, hypothetically, if I didn't buy a building for badminton, my, my cost per hour for badminton is really high.

632
00:45:37,580 --> 00:45:40,580
And a lot of people have hobbies that have a really high per hour cost.

633
00:45:40,580 --> 00:45:49,580
If you enjoy horseback riding, or you enjoy climbing, or you enjoy hang gliding, or you enjoy, sorry, track.

634
00:45:49,580 --> 00:45:56,580
If you go to the track, um, if gaming is your thing, I'm not going to judge you for spending way too much money.

635
00:45:56,580 --> 00:46:02,580
I will be frustrated that the value isn't there and that the prices don't fall the way that they used to.

636
00:46:02,580 --> 00:46:05,580
That sucks. And like, I hate it. It sucks.

637
00:46:05,580 --> 00:46:10,580
And that's why I had my silent protest and refused to switch to the 40 series.

638
00:46:10,580 --> 00:46:14,580
Yeah. But like, I want a new GPU and gaming is one of the things I do.

639
00:46:14,580 --> 00:46:18,580
Yeah. And so. Eventually you got to just do it.

640
00:46:18,580 --> 00:46:21,580
I can't tell you what the right thing to do for you is.

641
00:46:21,580 --> 00:46:26,580
Um, I'd love to hear chats, um, perspective.

642
00:46:26,580 --> 00:46:29,580
Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

643
00:46:29,580 --> 00:46:32,580
Seems like it's just kind of, yep, it is what it is. Okay.

644
00:46:32,580 --> 00:46:35,580
What are we playing right now? Yep. I don't know what this is.

645
00:46:35,580 --> 00:46:38,580
Monster Worlds apparently? Monster. Monster Hunter.

646
00:46:38,580 --> 00:46:41,580
Monster Hunter Worlds. Ah. Worlds or Wilds?

647
00:46:41,580 --> 00:46:44,580
Worlds. Worlds. Worlds is not yet.

648
00:46:44,580 --> 00:46:47,580
Okay. Where are we going? Where are we going?

649
00:46:47,580 --> 00:46:50,580
We're going to this little dot thing. Okay. Okay.

650
00:46:50,580 --> 00:46:53,580
I'm going. I'm going. I'm going.

651
00:46:53,580 --> 00:46:56,580
I'm with you. I'm with you brother. Okay.

652
00:46:56,580 --> 00:46:59,580
What are we looking at? 105. Oh buddy.

653
00:46:59,580 --> 00:47:02,580
Oh, I'm killing you. Oh my goodness. Yeah.

654
00:47:02,580 --> 00:47:05,580
A little bit. Wow. Yeah.

655
00:47:05,580 --> 00:47:08,580
That's significant. Okay. Hold on.

656
00:47:08,580 --> 00:47:11,580
Hold on. Wait for me. Wait for me.

657
00:47:11,580 --> 00:47:14,580
I'm waiting. I'm waiting. Okay.

658
00:47:14,580 --> 00:47:17,580
Okay. We'll just walk in a straight line. Here we go.

659
00:47:17,580 --> 00:47:20,580
All right. Let's go see some dinosaurs. All right.

660
00:47:20,580 --> 00:47:23,580
He looks friendly. Yeah. Yeah.

661
00:47:23,580 --> 00:47:26,580
Yeah. What could go wrong? Oh, this is such a clear win.

662
00:47:26,580 --> 00:47:29,580
Once again, with Alchemist, any game that ran at all was kind of a win.

663
00:47:29,580 --> 00:47:34,580
Yeah. Anything refused to run or have weird graphical glitches.

664
00:47:34,580 --> 00:47:40,580
No, it just works. That's something, especially when you consider that this thing just came out.

665
00:47:40,580 --> 00:47:45,580
And Alchemist, even toward the end, like there's still games with issues.

666
00:47:45,580 --> 00:47:48,580
I am pretty stoked.

667
00:47:48,580 --> 00:47:55,580
I'm actually really impressed so far, even if I think it's pretty much even with the 4060,

668
00:47:55,580 --> 00:48:01,580
a card that realistically, like if we're all being honest, was very maligned at launch.

669
00:48:01,580 --> 00:48:08,580
That's true. For not being a good value and for not being, not feeling worthy of the 60 class.

670
00:48:08,580 --> 00:48:13,580
Yeah. That's very true.

671
00:48:13,580 --> 00:48:16,580
Hmm. And it's also last gen.

672
00:48:16,580 --> 00:48:21,580
We haven't seen what NVIDIA has in store for the 50 series 60 class card yet.

673
00:48:21,580 --> 00:48:24,580
And there will almost certainly be something. Oh, definitely.

674
00:48:24,580 --> 00:48:28,580
I mean, I say almost certainly because it's not like AMD makes new Ryzen 3s anymore, but...

675
00:48:28,580 --> 00:48:31,580
No, that's true, but that's a weird choice that they've made.

676
00:48:31,580 --> 00:48:39,580
I mean, I get it. If you can only get so many wafers and you can either make epics and sell them for $15,000.

677
00:48:39,580 --> 00:48:42,580
Or those new AI chips. Or Ryzen 3s.

678
00:48:42,580 --> 00:48:43,580
Yeah.

679
00:48:46,580 --> 00:48:48,580
I get it. I get it.

680
00:48:49,580 --> 00:48:54,580
I think we'll have to see what Intel does to fix the performance on the older CPUs.

681
00:48:56,580 --> 00:48:59,580
I hope they can. I mean, I was talking about this with...

682
00:48:59,580 --> 00:49:03,580
Oh, I don't remember who I was talking this about, but NVIDIA went through a similar thing.

683
00:49:03,580 --> 00:49:09,580
I don't know if you remember this. This was back in like the, I want to say the 600 series days.

684
00:49:09,580 --> 00:49:17,580
Okay. But they were under fire for poor optimization in their GPU driver, extremely high CPU utilization.

685
00:49:17,580 --> 00:49:21,580
They acknowledged it. They were like, yeah, this isn't something that we can fix overnight.

686
00:49:21,580 --> 00:49:24,580
Right. And then they worked on it and now it's better.

687
00:49:24,580 --> 00:49:29,580
Yeah. So the fact that NVIDIA did it doesn't mean that Intel can do it necessarily.

688
00:49:29,580 --> 00:49:36,580
No. But the fact that it evidently is something that could potentially be improved.

689
00:49:36,580 --> 00:49:41,580
And the fact that Intel's driver team has shown themselves to be absolute wizards.

690
00:49:41,580 --> 00:49:46,580
And very active. And very active on, you know, fixing issues that the community...

691
00:49:46,580 --> 00:49:51,580
I mentioned they've gone through more than 50 revisions already for drivers.

692
00:49:51,580 --> 00:49:54,580
Oh, for Arc overall. For Arc overall. Yeah.

693
00:49:54,580 --> 00:49:57,580
No, that checks. Yeah. And there's been big improvements in some of them.

694
00:49:57,580 --> 00:50:02,580
So I am always buy what it is.

695
00:50:02,580 --> 00:50:07,580
Don't buy what it will be. But that doesn't mean that you should go like this, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,

696
00:50:07,580 --> 00:50:12,580
and ignore evidence that might suggest that something could improve in the future.

697
00:50:12,580 --> 00:50:16,580
And I have seen evidence that would suggest that it will improve in the future.

698
00:50:16,580 --> 00:50:21,580
Hey, we're two generations in. We're barely, barely even going at this point.

699
00:50:21,580 --> 00:50:26,580
I'm just so happy. Why do they stick around? Dude, I'm just so happy that there's an option.

700
00:50:26,580 --> 00:50:29,580
Yeah. Because AMD... We've needed it for so long.

701
00:50:29,580 --> 00:50:35,580
As much as they kind of get put on this pedestal as like the good guys, they have been clearly,

702
00:50:35,580 --> 00:50:38,580
very content to just follow NVIDIA's lead for pricing.

703
00:50:38,580 --> 00:50:41,580
Definitely. Clearly. They're happy to do it.

704
00:50:41,580 --> 00:50:46,580
They need the money. That's fair. So Elden Ring doesn't give you an ability to turn off V-Sync?

705
00:50:46,580 --> 00:50:49,580
Oh. Oh. Okay.

706
00:50:49,580 --> 00:50:55,580
Okay. I don't know if you guys heard that, but Rhys was telling us Elden Ring is trapping us with V-Sync

707
00:50:55,580 --> 00:50:58,580
on, but realistically, oh my goodness.

708
00:50:58,580 --> 00:51:03,580
First thing I got to just... Some of these lows are already kind of a deal breaker anyway.

709
00:51:03,580 --> 00:51:06,580
I got to plug the Green Man Gaming webpage here.

710
00:51:06,580 --> 00:51:10,580
Oh, Dan's bringing up Green Man Gaming.

711
00:51:10,580 --> 00:51:13,580
Oh, for Monster Hunter World Iceborne. Oh, yeah.

712
00:51:13,580 --> 00:51:16,580
That's one of the deals that we were promoting earlier. Sick. All right.

713
00:51:16,580 --> 00:51:19,580
What freaking button is this? There we go. Okay.

714
00:51:19,580 --> 00:51:22,580
That one. Elden Ring. How's your lows doing?

715
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,580
Like 24 from in a low spot.

716
00:51:25,580 --> 00:51:29,580
Oh, interesting. Can we go fight this night, this golden night guy?

717
00:51:29,580 --> 00:51:32,580
We're just coming out of the starting cave here, right?

718
00:51:32,580 --> 00:51:35,580
Yeah. Okay. We're going to get our butts kicked probably.

719
00:51:35,580 --> 00:51:38,580
Have you played this game? Never. Okay, cool.

720
00:51:38,580 --> 00:51:41,580
Then we're going to get our butts kicked, but let's just head over there. Okay. You know what?

721
00:51:41,580 --> 00:51:44,580
This is really close. I do... Oh, he saw me.

722
00:51:44,580 --> 00:51:49,580
Man. I've had some really low dips, like in the 20s.

723
00:51:49,580 --> 00:51:54,080
I just got one down to 30. Yeah, I've gotten to 24.

724
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,080
Is that... Oh, that was over. Don't think he likes me.

725
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:00,580
Have you gotten just like some nasty stutters though? Yeah.

726
00:52:00,580 --> 00:52:03,580
Oops. Oh, I'm dead. That didn't take much.

727
00:52:03,580 --> 00:52:06,580
Yeah, no. Like I said, we're going to get our butts kicked.

728
00:52:06,580 --> 00:52:09,580
This guy is... He's a little bigger than me. Yeah.

729
00:52:09,580 --> 00:52:12,580
Oh. Oh. How do I parry?

730
00:52:12,580 --> 00:52:15,580
I don't know how to... This game. Well, I'm dead.

731
00:52:15,580 --> 00:52:18,580
Hit a button until you don't die. Cool.

732
00:52:18,580 --> 00:52:23,580
You died. How's your CPU looking?

733
00:52:23,580 --> 00:52:26,580
Let me be undead first. Okay, that's fair.

734
00:52:26,580 --> 00:52:29,580
Or rather be less dead. Not undead.

735
00:52:29,580 --> 00:52:32,580
That's a different thing. Okay.

736
00:52:32,580 --> 00:52:37,580
Stranded graveyard. Oh, lordy. Yeah, maybe we should try to die not quite as fast this next time.

737
00:52:37,580 --> 00:52:40,580
I think you're going backwards in the Stranded Graveyard.

738
00:52:40,580 --> 00:52:43,580
Yeah. How do we get out of here? Is it this...

739
00:52:43,580 --> 00:52:47,580
Oh, there's the sparkly here. I think this is to do with something. I was going the right way.

740
00:52:47,580 --> 00:52:50,580
Where are you? I don't know.

741
00:52:50,580 --> 00:52:53,580
I don't think you're on the right way. I think you're going backwards. You're going the same way as me.

742
00:52:53,580 --> 00:52:56,580
I know. That's because I'm following you. Well, that's stupid.

743
00:52:56,580 --> 00:52:59,580
What are you thinking, man?

744
00:52:59,580 --> 00:53:02,580
I think we're supposed to go up the stairs. Okay, it's very dark there.

745
00:53:02,580 --> 00:53:06,580
Well, they figured this out. You can also pick up Elden Ring on Green Man.

746
00:53:06,580 --> 00:53:10,580
The stairs chat says. Yeah, okay, cool. You're done selling games over there.

747
00:53:10,580 --> 00:53:13,580
Oh, man. I'm doing your job. Good work, Dan.

748
00:53:13,580 --> 00:53:17,580
Okay, are you getting some nasty stutters? Not right now, actually.

749
00:53:17,580 --> 00:53:20,580
I definitely am.

750
00:53:20,580 --> 00:53:23,580
Okay, is that just moving from area to area, though?

751
00:53:23,580 --> 00:53:33,580
I'm going to see if I get any. Just doing, like, a consistent camera pan here.

752
00:53:33,580 --> 00:53:39,580
I'm not finding the truth of that. Yeah, it seems fine when I'm not moving between areas.

753
00:53:39,580 --> 00:53:43,580
Yeah. I think it could be just that.

754
00:53:43,580 --> 00:53:46,580
How do I get out of here, you guys? I'm lost now.

755
00:53:46,580 --> 00:53:49,580
I'm running in circles around the thing. Something to do with this pillar?

756
00:53:49,580 --> 00:53:52,580
I mean, I think I've probably seen enough to call this.

757
00:53:52,580 --> 00:53:56,580
We're very good at games. Maybe a win for NVIDIA.

758
00:53:56,580 --> 00:54:00,580
Oh, pull the lever. Wrong lever!

759
00:54:00,580 --> 00:54:04,580
Is it a lever? Oh, there.

760
00:54:04,580 --> 00:54:07,580
Anyone who gets the reference enjoys it.

761
00:54:07,580 --> 00:54:12,580
I think that Emperor's New Groove was, for many years, very underrated.

762
00:54:12,580 --> 00:54:17,580
Oh, there. Oh, yeah. Very underrated, underappreciated movie.

763
00:54:17,580 --> 00:54:20,580
Masterpiece.

764
00:54:20,580 --> 00:54:24,580
Okay, I'm standing on a thing now. Yep, me too.

765
00:54:24,580 --> 00:54:28,580
Hey, Peter.

766
00:54:28,580 --> 00:54:32,580
Yep. Okay. Do I have to lever again and then jump on?

767
00:54:32,580 --> 00:54:36,580
Oh, you step on the button in the middle, I think.

768
00:54:36,580 --> 00:54:39,580
Oh, there we go. Okay. Needs to keen.

769
00:54:39,580 --> 00:54:42,580
All right.

770
00:54:42,580 --> 00:54:45,580
Oh, I think we're ready again. What just happened?

771
00:54:45,580 --> 00:54:48,580
Oh, yeah. Are you both locked to 60? Yeah.

772
00:54:48,580 --> 00:54:51,580
Yeah. It's because of the game, apparently. Oh, no.

773
00:54:51,580 --> 00:54:54,580
They tied something to frame rate, didn't they? Yeah.

774
00:54:54,580 --> 00:54:57,580
Oh, God. That was a pretty bad start. That was a yucky stutter.

775
00:54:57,580 --> 00:55:02,580
Okay. I'm not going to hold that against the GPUs, then, because that seems to be more to do

776
00:55:02,580 --> 00:55:08,580
with storage. Okay. Could be storage, could be CPU, but either way, it doesn't seem...

777
00:55:08,580 --> 00:55:11,580
Very slow drivers of ours here. Well, see, that's the thing, right?

778
00:55:11,580 --> 00:55:16,580
So it's got to be the game at that point. Okay, I'm going to the same vantage point that you're at with this lady here.

779
00:55:16,580 --> 00:55:19,580
Look at the night down in the field down there. Yeah.

780
00:55:19,580 --> 00:55:22,580
That's so close. Yeah.

781
00:55:22,580 --> 00:55:26,580
And I feel like I was getting more stutters than you.

782
00:55:26,580 --> 00:55:31,580
I'm just going to get pizza.

783
00:55:31,580 --> 00:55:34,580
What the heck?

784
00:55:34,580 --> 00:55:38,580
Okay. What's going on?

785
00:55:38,580 --> 00:55:42,580
Let's move on. It's game time.

786
00:55:42,580 --> 00:55:45,580
Are we at 50? Are we at 50 games yet? Oh, man.

787
00:55:45,580 --> 00:55:48,580
I want to... I think I want to give the win to NVIDIA here.

788
00:55:48,580 --> 00:55:51,580
Really? I was getting more stutters than you.

789
00:55:51,580 --> 00:55:55,580
A little bit. Shader comp, though. It's raining here now.

790
00:55:55,580 --> 00:55:58,580
I was getting more stutters. And...

791
00:55:58,580 --> 00:56:01,580
Oh, man. This might be too close.

792
00:56:01,580 --> 00:56:04,580
Chat says tie. Chat says tie.

793
00:56:04,580 --> 00:56:07,580
Floatplane Chat says tie. They're right. It's a tie.

794
00:56:07,580 --> 00:56:11,580
All right. Let's move on. Oh, we're Vikings.

795
00:56:11,580 --> 00:56:14,580
We've all come here. All right.

796
00:56:14,580 --> 00:56:19,580
Hey, let's play some Valheim.

797
00:56:19,580 --> 00:56:22,580
Well, this is running great on me, on mine.

798
00:56:22,580 --> 00:56:26,580
Yeah. Looking pretty good.

799
00:56:26,580 --> 00:56:29,580
Time to go fight some deer or whatever.

800
00:56:29,580 --> 00:56:34,580
I'm going to pick up this branch. Hey, I improved my run skill.

801
00:56:34,580 --> 00:56:40,580
It's good because before I was all... And now I'm like, wow, let's go.

802
00:56:40,580 --> 00:56:43,580
Okay. Where are you headed off to? Into the woods.

803
00:56:43,580 --> 00:56:47,580
Okay. All right. So we're both headed off into the woods, which in Valheim can only go well.

804
00:56:47,580 --> 00:56:50,580
Oh, yeah, totally.

805
00:56:50,580 --> 00:56:53,580
Punch some trees here. Sure.

806
00:56:53,580 --> 00:56:58,580
I'll punch a tree. Zero damage to that tree.

807
00:56:58,580 --> 00:57:01,580
Oh boy. Thanks, Rhys. Okay.

808
00:57:01,580 --> 00:57:04,580
So what are we looking at? Oh, wow. Like a hundred...

809
00:57:04,580 --> 00:57:07,580
You are getting... look-reminated. Really?

810
00:57:07,580 --> 00:57:10,580
Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. You're getting crushed, brother.

811
00:57:10,580 --> 00:57:13,580
Uh-oh. I'm falling down a cliff now. That's not good.

812
00:57:13,580 --> 00:57:16,580
It's not even close. Mind you, you've got a torch out. How do I get a torch?

813
00:57:16,580 --> 00:57:19,580
Here, I'll turn off my torch. Okay. Yeah, that's not helping.

814
00:57:19,580 --> 00:57:26,580
No, I didn't do much. I think this is a clear W for Intel Arc.

815
00:57:26,580 --> 00:57:31,580
Orc. You're using like 10% more CPU all the time.

816
00:57:31,580 --> 00:57:35,580
Oh, interesting. But it's not harming me.

817
00:57:35,580 --> 00:57:38,580
No. It's not harming the gaming experience.

818
00:57:38,580 --> 00:57:42,580
It's something for us to be aware of and something that we were talking about earlier.

819
00:57:42,580 --> 00:57:47,580
We want to keep an eye on because there has been some discussion in the tech community

820
00:57:47,580 --> 00:57:52,580
around ArcGPUs not performing as well on lesser CPUs.

821
00:57:52,580 --> 00:57:56,580
Linus, do you want to zoom out the camera a bit before you...

822
00:57:56,580 --> 00:58:00,580
Oh, yeah. That might be... Chat suggesting that could be a thing.

823
00:58:00,580 --> 00:58:05,580
Or you praise it too much? Get it into a more meadowy area so there's no trees above you.

824
00:58:05,580 --> 00:58:13,580
I can do that. Yep, I can do that. So anyway, not performing as well with lower-end CPUs is a bit of a downer for a value GPU.

825
00:58:13,580 --> 00:58:19,580
So we went out of our way to choose systems that were not super overpowered.

826
00:58:19,580 --> 00:58:26,580
We are running 12th Gen Core i5s and we told you guys earlier in the stream that we wanted to...

827
00:58:26,580 --> 00:58:31,580
Still, even if Arc is performing better and it's not impacting it,

828
00:58:31,580 --> 00:58:36,580
we wanted to make sure that we're keeping an eye on the CPU usage to see if it is a little bit higher,

829
00:58:36,580 --> 00:58:39,580
maybe due to some kind of overhead in the Arc driver.

830
00:58:39,580 --> 00:58:44,580
Okay, so here's a more open area. Do you want to just go back up to where the stones are in the spawn location?

831
00:58:44,580 --> 00:58:47,580
Sure.

832
00:58:47,580 --> 00:58:50,580
Running great.

833
00:58:50,580 --> 00:58:53,580
Like it's not that close. 120?

834
00:58:53,580 --> 00:58:56,580
170. Yeah. That's ridiculous.

835
00:58:56,580 --> 00:59:00,580
I don't know what to tell you guys. Arc is just crushing this game.

836
00:59:00,580 --> 00:59:03,580
Somebody on the Intel team really likes Valheim.

837
00:59:03,580 --> 00:59:06,580
Yeah, maybe. You know, it's funny.

838
00:59:06,580 --> 00:59:13,580
I think people often forget the human elements of things.

839
00:59:13,580 --> 00:59:19,580
It is entirely possible that someone whose job it is to work on Arc

840
00:59:19,580 --> 00:59:25,580
and who takes their job really seriously is a bring-your-work-home kind of person who's like,

841
00:59:25,580 --> 00:59:30,580
dang it, maybe not on my primary machine, but on my secondary machine anyway.

842
00:59:30,580 --> 00:59:34,580
I'm rocking Arc day in, day out. Cannot play freaking Valheim.

843
00:59:34,580 --> 00:59:37,580
And going in and getting that done. Yeah.

844
00:59:37,580 --> 00:59:41,580
That is very realistic. 100% realistic.

845
00:59:41,580 --> 00:59:48,580
And there's nothing wrong with that. Like if someone, say for example, who worked at Linus Media Group,

846
00:59:48,580 --> 00:59:53,580
were to wear LMG, LTT cargo pants, say for instance.

847
00:59:53,580 --> 00:59:56,580
For instance. Are you wearing socks and sandals? Yeah.

848
00:59:56,580 --> 00:59:57,580
Are you memeing or is that just a thing?

849
01:00:01,580 --> 01:00:05,580
My man. Looking good.

850
01:00:05,580 --> 01:00:09,580
Or you know the hat and they were to find something wrong with it.

851
01:00:09,580 --> 01:00:12,580
Yeah. I would be grateful if they came in to work.

852
01:00:12,580 --> 01:00:16,580
I had a problem with my hat and got it, brought it in and tore it apart and figured it out.

853
01:00:16,580 --> 01:00:23,580
We love that kind of stuff. So if an Intel Arc driver software engineer is like, hey, I love this game.

854
01:00:23,580 --> 01:00:26,580
I can't play it on my stupid test bench or my card at home or whatever.

855
01:00:26,580 --> 01:00:29,580
Let's make it work. Yeah, that's totally realistic. Yeah.

856
01:00:29,580 --> 01:00:35,580
The demo says not a cult.

857
01:00:35,580 --> 01:00:38,580
No, my sandals are better than his.

858
01:00:38,580 --> 01:00:48,580
Okay. Hey, let's go.

859
01:00:48,580 --> 01:00:52,580
I mean, realistically, either of these cards is going to be fine.

860
01:00:52,580 --> 01:00:56,580
Going to be fine. Are we frame walk to like 200 or so?

861
01:00:56,580 --> 01:00:59,580
240. Okay. Wow.

862
01:00:59,580 --> 01:01:02,580
So it actually doesn't.

863
01:01:02,580 --> 01:01:05,580
It can't do above 200 in this game.

864
01:01:05,580 --> 01:01:08,580
Oh, wow. Oh, dude.

865
01:01:08,580 --> 01:01:11,580
Where are you? You're still in base. Okay.

866
01:01:11,580 --> 01:01:14,580
I'm coming back to the base.

867
01:01:14,580 --> 01:01:18,580
Arc is crushing this one again.

868
01:01:18,580 --> 01:01:21,580
Oh, wait, maybe not. Or the same. No, no, the basis.

869
01:01:21,580 --> 01:01:24,580
It looks like the basis actually pretty late. Yeah.

870
01:01:24,580 --> 01:01:27,580
Okay. So let's see if we can find somewhere heavier. Maybe let's go fight some creeps.

871
01:01:27,580 --> 01:01:30,580
CPU is about the same. Okay.

872
01:01:30,580 --> 01:01:33,580
Yeah. Let's go fight creeps. Are you taking the bottom?

873
01:01:33,580 --> 01:01:36,580
I could not tell you. Or the mid. Where are you at?

874
01:01:36,580 --> 01:01:39,580
Where are you at, brother? I don't know. I don't play this.

875
01:01:39,580 --> 01:01:42,580
Where are you at, brother? Okay. I'm going middle.

876
01:01:42,580 --> 01:01:45,580
Where's my guy? There he is. All right.

877
01:01:45,580 --> 01:01:48,580
Here we go.

878
01:01:48,580 --> 01:01:51,580
Please tell me this is just like a practice match, right? I hope so.

879
01:01:51,580 --> 01:01:55,580
Guys, this is just like practice with bots, right?

880
01:01:55,580 --> 01:01:59,580
Ranked competitive, obviously. I mean, you never know with you guys, you know?

881
01:01:59,580 --> 01:02:03,580
Every once in a while, the team will like drop me in an actual thing.

882
01:02:03,580 --> 01:02:07,580
And I'm like, yo, okay.

883
01:02:07,580 --> 01:02:17,580
And sometimes it, sometimes there's no choice. Sometimes you're kind of stuck with it.

884
01:02:17,580 --> 01:02:20,580
Huh. We got people saying tie. Tie.

885
01:02:20,580 --> 01:02:23,580
Are you in the middle? Middleish, yeah. A little bit north.

886
01:02:23,580 --> 01:02:26,580
Okay. Go right to the middle. Let's fight some creeps.

887
01:02:26,580 --> 01:02:31,580
Right in the middle of the water here. And we'll get as much of an apples to apples as we can.

888
01:02:31,580 --> 01:02:34,580
We're going to say map together or no?

889
01:02:34,580 --> 01:02:37,580
No. Shouldn't be. 150-ish.

890
01:02:37,580 --> 01:02:40,580
Yeah. You got my beat there. Dang it, Jordan.

891
01:02:40,580 --> 01:02:43,580
Are you dead? A little bit. Yeah.

892
01:02:43,580 --> 01:02:47,580
Okay. I thought so. But then you're just still there for a while.

893
01:02:47,580 --> 01:02:50,580
Yep. That makes sense. I was just hanging out.

894
01:02:50,580 --> 01:02:54,580
Yep. That makes sense. Tie or arc W, people are saying.

895
01:02:54,580 --> 01:02:58,580
People are calling it closer to tie. And that kind of checks out for me.

896
01:02:58,580 --> 01:03:02,580
I think you've got like 5%. Your CPU is 10% higher again, though.

897
01:03:02,580 --> 01:03:05,580
A lot of the time. And your GPU is higher. Yeah.

898
01:03:05,580 --> 01:03:08,580
I think it's higher. I think it's higher. Yeah.

899
01:03:08,580 --> 01:03:11,580
I think it's higher. I think it's higher. I think it's higher.

900
01:03:11,580 --> 01:03:14,580
I think it's higher. I think it's higher. I think it's higher.

901
01:03:14,580 --> 01:03:17,580
I think it's higher. I think it's higher. I think it's higher.

902
01:03:17,580 --> 01:03:20,580
And your GPU is higher actually too.

903
01:03:20,580 --> 01:03:23,580
Your GPU is at 60, I'm at 34.

904
01:03:23,580 --> 01:03:28,580
Interesting. So does that mean it's able to push more frames to it?

905
01:03:28,580 --> 01:03:32,580
My CPU is consistently higher. I'm not even cracking 40 on GPU.

906
01:03:32,580 --> 01:03:40,580
My CPU could be higher. So if our FPS is not the same, my CPU could be running higher because it just is not GPU

907
01:03:40,580 --> 01:03:43,580
bound. Yeah. So that's something to consider as well.

908
01:03:43,580 --> 01:03:48,580
Because we can only really directly compare the CPU usage when our frame rates are also

909
01:03:48,580 --> 01:03:55,580
the same and therefore our GPU is giving our CPU enough headroom to push the FPS up.

910
01:03:55,580 --> 01:03:59,580
Okay. So are you, has your guy back to the middle?

911
01:03:59,580 --> 01:04:02,580
He died again, but he's still, we'll get back there in a minute.

912
01:04:02,580 --> 01:04:10,580
Okay. I'm still in the middle looking. I want to call this one kind of, I'm going to lead this one to you guys.

913
01:04:10,580 --> 01:04:14,580
This one's up to you guys. Let's run over to the next systems.

914
01:04:14,580 --> 01:04:17,580
Oh wait, are they still there? No, they're still there. Okay.

915
01:04:17,580 --> 01:04:21,580
Dan, hit me with a merge message. Oh, here you go. FPchat says mostly tie.

916
01:04:21,580 --> 01:04:24,580
Yeah. Okay. A lot of them are saying arc, but...

917
01:04:24,580 --> 01:04:27,580
It kind of depends on how you evaluate that CPU usage.

918
01:04:27,580 --> 01:04:33,580
It's very narrow. I think I would call this one a tie personally.

919
01:04:33,580 --> 01:04:38,580
Good. But if the arc is cheaper, then that's an arc W.

920
01:04:38,580 --> 01:04:41,580
But that just kind of depends on pricing in the market.

921
01:04:41,580 --> 01:04:44,580
What are we paying for a 4060 right now? Well, see, here's the thing.

922
01:04:44,580 --> 01:04:49,580
One of the things we've been criticized for many times in the past is not looking at pricing

923
01:04:49,580 --> 01:04:52,580
outside of the North American market.

924
01:04:52,580 --> 01:04:58,580
So in Europe, for instance, I had a lot of people messaging me saying, hey, arc, arc B580

925
01:04:58,580 --> 01:05:01,580
is like not a good value here at all.

926
01:05:01,580 --> 01:05:04,580
Like the pricing is completely out to lunch.

927
01:05:04,580 --> 01:05:10,580
Okay. So that's a major factor that people have got to consider is where the pricing is in your region.

928
01:05:10,580 --> 01:05:16,580
That's why it's so hard for us to just wrap up our review and say, okay, here's the one

929
01:05:16,580 --> 01:05:21,580
to buy. And it's one of the reasons that we try not to focus too much on pricing in our reviews.

930
01:05:21,580 --> 01:05:24,580
We try to focus on, here's the feature set.

931
01:05:24,580 --> 01:05:27,580
Here's the performance. Here's the caveats. Here's the math.

932
01:05:27,580 --> 01:05:32,580
Here's how the value looks today.

933
01:05:32,580 --> 01:05:36,580
But we don't know what it's going to look like in the future. And we don't know what it's going to look like in your region.

934
01:05:36,580 --> 01:05:41,580
So we have to be willing to do a little bit of the legwork for us or for yourself really.

935
01:05:41,580 --> 01:05:46,580
Okay, Dan, hit me. Sure. Good afternoon, Seabass.

936
01:05:46,580 --> 01:05:52,580
What is one mobile device industry trend that you initially disliked or hated that you have now come to love?

937
01:05:52,580 --> 01:05:59,580
PS, please take the FW16 into consideration for future LTT bag designs.

938
01:05:59,580 --> 01:06:03,580
Okay. We do take the Framework 16 into consideration.

939
01:06:03,580 --> 01:06:11,580
We consider it and understand that it is a really weird shaped laptop with the GPU hump coming out of the back of it.

940
01:06:11,580 --> 01:06:17,580
And that we can't design a product like the commuter backpack around the Framework 16.

941
01:06:17,580 --> 01:06:25,580
This is a sleek design for someone who's got their Macbook and their tablet or their, you know, Flow X13.

942
01:06:25,580 --> 01:06:28,580
It's a back dragon. Dell XPS. Excuse me, Dell.

943
01:06:28,580 --> 01:06:31,580
Oh. Dell. Is it Pro Plus now?

944
01:06:31,580 --> 01:06:34,580
No, no, no. Dell Premium. Premium.

945
01:06:34,580 --> 01:06:37,580
I believe. No. Dell, yeah.

946
01:06:37,580 --> 01:06:40,580
Oh, Dell. Dell Premium Max. Dell Premium Plus.

947
01:06:40,580 --> 01:06:44,580
Crap. I even made the video on it. Is it Premium Plus or Cracker?

948
01:06:44,580 --> 01:06:48,580
Whatever. XPS.

949
01:06:48,580 --> 01:06:58,580
This is not for like, I need my gigantic gaming laptop and my like network Wi-Fi analyzer, you know, thing.

950
01:06:58,580 --> 01:07:04,580
And I need all this and I need all that. It's, it's slick, you know.

951
01:07:04,580 --> 01:07:10,580
So we'll consider it, but that won't necessarily mean that our products will be compatible with it.

952
01:07:10,580 --> 01:07:13,580
It's a pretty, it's kind of a weird change. It's an outlier.

953
01:07:13,580 --> 01:07:18,580
Yeah. As for the rest of your merge message, what was it again?

954
01:07:18,580 --> 01:07:21,580
Dan, do you remember what it was? I'm looking for it.

955
01:07:21,580 --> 01:07:24,580
Sorry. Sorry. He's already moved on.

956
01:07:24,580 --> 01:07:28,580
What's one mobile device industry trend?

957
01:07:28,580 --> 01:07:38,580
Mobile device trend. Okay. One that I have, one that I've come to hate less is the bullet wound as I used to call it in the screen.

958
01:07:38,580 --> 01:07:41,580
Or excuse me, the dynamic island.

959
01:07:41,580 --> 01:07:49,580
Yeah. However, I was watching a movie on this the other day and I was like, this is awful because

960
01:07:49,580 --> 01:07:56,580
I either give up like a whole whack ton on my screen or I have a whole in my content,

961
01:07:56,580 --> 01:07:59,580
which to me is completely unacceptable. No.

962
01:07:59,580 --> 01:08:04,580
Just devil's advocate, what's happening in that little square that's not important to

963
01:08:04,580 --> 01:08:07,580
the movie? It doesn't matter. It's immersion breaking.

964
01:08:07,580 --> 01:08:10,580
I agree with you. I'm just saying. Okay.

965
01:08:10,580 --> 01:08:14,580
What if I took your glasses? Yeah. And I just put a like black dot on them on the side.

966
01:08:14,580 --> 01:08:17,580
Okay. You win this round. All right.

967
01:08:17,580 --> 01:08:20,580
Would you like that? No.

968
01:08:20,580 --> 01:08:30,580
Not so much. Ask for something that I didn't like that I have come to love.

969
01:08:30,580 --> 01:08:34,580
I mean, there's a reason that I still like carry my note nine.

970
01:08:34,580 --> 01:08:39,580
It's an unhealthy addiction. I have, I've come to love my wireless headphones.

971
01:08:39,580 --> 01:08:44,580
Yeah. But I would still prefer to have the choice.

972
01:08:44,580 --> 01:08:50,580
Yeah, definitely. Like a long flight. If I'm on a flight for eight hours, I actually don't want to have to carry two pairs of

973
01:08:50,580 --> 01:08:53,580
AirPods with me so that I can hot swap them.

974
01:08:53,580 --> 01:08:59,580
You know, I want to just put in my, my nice noise isolating, not canceling my nice noise

975
01:08:59,580 --> 01:09:02,580
isolating in ears and go to sleep.

976
01:09:02,580 --> 01:09:05,580
Dan's showing off his headphone port. Yeah.

977
01:09:05,580 --> 01:09:08,580
Yeah. I'm having more either. It's very sad.

978
01:09:08,580 --> 01:09:12,580
Oh, I should check. It just upgraded to Android 15. Maybe we have access to switch the button around.

979
01:09:12,580 --> 01:09:15,580
What? I'm just checking. I'm checking now.

980
01:09:15,580 --> 01:09:18,580
Let's find out. This is important. I'm checking now.

981
01:09:18,580 --> 01:09:24,580
This is interesting. I recently did my switch to iPhone, which you can see I lazily have not bothered to

982
01:09:24,580 --> 01:09:27,580
unswitch from yet. I am going to.

983
01:09:27,580 --> 01:09:32,580
But one of the comments that we got on that video a lot was people wanted to, they wanted

984
01:09:32,580 --> 01:09:38,580
to see what the perspective would be like for Apple users switching over to Android,

985
01:09:38,580 --> 01:09:44,580
like fresh, fresh, fresh. And I was reminded of this because one of the people who's going to be doing it happens

986
01:09:44,580 --> 01:09:48,580
to be the camera operator who is holding that camera right now.

987
01:09:48,580 --> 01:09:53,580
So we actually recruited three people from around the office who have never Android.

988
01:09:53,580 --> 01:09:56,580
Oh, iPhone for life.

989
01:09:56,580 --> 01:10:01,580
And we are making them a very generous trade offer.

990
01:10:01,580 --> 01:10:05,580
You get Android phone of your choice.

991
01:10:05,580 --> 01:10:10,580
I get your iPhone and you use the Android phone for a month.

992
01:10:10,580 --> 01:10:13,580
So we're going to follow their journey and it's going to be really cool.

993
01:10:13,580 --> 01:10:16,580
I think it's going to be really fun. No.

994
01:10:16,580 --> 01:10:19,580
Fucking sign. I'm upset.

995
01:10:19,580 --> 01:10:22,580
Just get it together. Just make it so I can move the thing.

996
01:10:22,580 --> 01:10:26,580
I want an Xperia. I want an Xperia phone.

997
01:10:26,580 --> 01:10:29,580
They are not giving me the option.

998
01:10:29,580 --> 01:10:32,580
What game is this? Oh, this is that game that was like super underrated.

999
01:10:32,580 --> 01:10:35,580
This looks like Warframe. Oh, wait. Never mind.

1000
01:10:35,580 --> 01:10:38,580
It's not. Use your power now.

1001
01:10:38,580 --> 01:10:41,580
What is my power? What button do I press to use my power?

1002
01:10:41,580 --> 01:10:44,580
Okay, controller. Here we go. There's only some...

1003
01:10:44,580 --> 01:10:48,580
Oh, okay. Hold right button and press A.

1004
01:10:48,580 --> 01:10:51,580
Blah, blah.

1005
01:10:51,580 --> 01:10:55,580
Ah, blah, blah. Okay, wasn't there another thing that I was able to press?

1006
01:10:55,580 --> 01:10:59,580
What was the other thing I pressed? Oh, I mean, what about just right button?

1007
01:10:59,580 --> 01:11:02,580
Just right button seems to work. Why do I need to hold it and press A?

1008
01:11:02,580 --> 01:11:05,580
Oh, that's a much stronger attack. I see.

1009
01:11:05,580 --> 01:11:08,580
Oh, wait. I'm supposed to be looking at FPS. Okay, where are you at?

1010
01:11:08,580 --> 01:11:11,580
I'm not in the ring. You take off, brother. You just take off.

1011
01:11:11,580 --> 01:11:15,580
You wouldn't let me go in the building. You just take off sometimes, you know?

1012
01:11:15,580 --> 01:11:19,580
Oh, it's not letting me leave the building. Well, that's interesting.

1013
01:11:19,580 --> 01:11:23,580
Do I just have to... Oh, find a melee weapon in the marked cache.

1014
01:11:23,580 --> 01:11:26,580
Oh, okay, it's letting me in. I have a weapon. Okay.

1015
01:11:26,580 --> 01:11:29,580
This is what I'm talking about. Okay, hold on. Wait for me.

1016
01:11:29,580 --> 01:11:32,580
I just started with a weapon. I don't know what to tell you, man.

1017
01:11:32,580 --> 01:11:35,580
What? Oh, all right, fine.

1018
01:11:35,580 --> 01:11:39,580
I'll allow it. Come back to the building. Okay, want to come back to the cache?

1019
01:11:39,580 --> 01:11:44,580
Okay, X to pick up the bow. I'm right there.

1020
01:11:44,580 --> 01:11:48,580
All right, how are we looking? 165, 70.

1021
01:11:48,580 --> 01:11:52,580
167, 166. 177.

1022
01:11:52,580 --> 01:11:57,580
Your 1% lows look a touch on the very similar side to mine.

1023
01:11:57,580 --> 01:12:03,580
Okay. Wow, this is really close.

1024
01:12:03,580 --> 01:12:09,580
What's your CPU at? My CPU is sitting at 21.

1025
01:12:09,580 --> 01:12:13,580
You're being followed. Oh. Quite a bit higher then.

1026
01:12:13,580 --> 01:12:20,580
Yeah. Interesting. We both have the rain, so it's not that.

1027
01:12:20,580 --> 01:12:23,580
Yeah, that is... I don't have any enemies anywhere though, so maybe...

1028
01:12:23,580 --> 01:12:30,580
And in this case, both our averages and our low FPS is so similar that I would say this

1029
01:12:30,580 --> 01:12:33,580
is pretty apples to apples. This is high, I think.

1030
01:12:33,580 --> 01:12:38,580
If I am drawing way more CPU usage, I don't think that's enough for me to call it a win

1031
01:12:38,580 --> 01:12:43,580
for the 4060 because clearly our gaming experiences are darn near identical,

1032
01:12:43,580 --> 01:12:51,580
but it's something to keep in mind. If you have a 12th gen i3 instead of an i5, or if you're running a 10th gen,

1033
01:12:51,580 --> 01:12:54,580
you might want to watch out for this.

1034
01:12:54,580 --> 01:12:57,580
Okay, very cool. Should we move on?

1035
01:12:57,580 --> 01:13:02,580
I think they're ready. That was quick. All right, let's go.

1036
01:13:02,580 --> 01:13:05,580
What do we got here? Dan, you logged that one as a tie, right?

1037
01:13:05,580 --> 01:13:09,580
Yep. Okay. What are we looking at?

1038
01:13:09,580 --> 01:13:12,580
I have no idea. A snow runner?

1039
01:13:12,580 --> 01:13:15,580
Yeah, excuse me. All right, here we go.

1040
01:13:15,580 --> 01:13:18,580
Is this a request? Are we on the requests now?

1041
01:13:18,580 --> 01:13:22,580
Heck yeah, cool. That was what I wanted.

1042
01:13:22,580 --> 01:13:28,580
Okay, I don't know. I am moving now though, so neat.

1043
01:13:28,580 --> 01:13:31,580
How do I control the... Oh, controller. Why don't we go...

1044
01:13:31,580 --> 01:13:35,580
Is this not controller? No, I'm using the last.

1045
01:13:35,580 --> 01:13:38,580
Okay. I am stuck in the mud.

1046
01:13:38,580 --> 01:13:41,580
Is that this game? Just get better. Like, is that just kind of this game?

1047
01:13:41,580 --> 01:13:44,580
Here we go. I made it out of the mud. Is that a thing?

1048
01:13:44,580 --> 01:13:47,580
Yeah, put your lockers on. Your what? Your lockers.

1049
01:13:47,580 --> 01:13:51,580
Your differential lockers. Your differential lockers. That's Q, apparently.

1050
01:13:51,580 --> 01:13:54,580
It's always on. Winch connected.

1051
01:13:54,580 --> 01:13:57,580
That's not going to help. I am stuck in the mud. So here's what I'm going to do.

1052
01:13:57,580 --> 01:14:00,580
You should get better at driving. Oh, dang it. Oh, you're...

1053
01:14:00,580 --> 01:14:04,580
Jordan, you're taking off without me again. Oh boy, I got stuck now.

1054
01:14:04,580 --> 01:14:07,580
Jordan, we got to be apples to apples.

1055
01:14:07,580 --> 01:14:10,580
Well, your apples too slow. Okay.

1056
01:14:10,580 --> 01:14:13,580
Differential lock. Where's the... Oh, no, I...

1057
01:14:13,580 --> 01:14:16,580
Dang it. Okay. Handbrake.

1058
01:14:16,580 --> 01:14:19,580
What's this? I don't know what this is. How do I reverse?

1059
01:14:19,580 --> 01:14:22,580
Always on. Okay. What's this?

1060
01:14:22,580 --> 01:14:26,580
How do I differential lock? It's always on, it said.

1061
01:14:26,580 --> 01:14:29,580
It was E for me. E?

1062
01:14:29,580 --> 01:14:32,580
Oh. I'll be... I'll be...

1063
01:14:32,580 --> 01:14:36,580
Always on. Where's the tow truck? I think I'm just stuck, you guys.

1064
01:14:36,580 --> 01:14:39,580
Yeah, me too. I don't think I can move at all anymore.

1065
01:14:39,580 --> 01:14:44,580
Yeah, I can change truck. Oh, wait, wait.

1066
01:14:44,580 --> 01:14:47,580
Hold on. Am I moving? I'm not moving.

1067
01:14:47,580 --> 01:14:50,580
I'm going to restart. Okay, me too. Okay.

1068
01:14:50,580 --> 01:14:54,580
Restart trial. Yeah, I'm sure I want to restart it.

1069
01:14:54,580 --> 01:14:57,580
Calm down. If you also want to get stuck in the mud like Linus,

1070
01:14:57,580 --> 01:15:00,580
you can pick this up from... He's my hero after all, you know.

1071
01:15:00,580 --> 01:15:03,580
Okay. All right, we ready? Okay, here we go.

1072
01:15:03,580 --> 01:15:06,580
What do you got right at the start here? Oh, dang it, Jordan.

1073
01:15:06,580 --> 01:15:09,580
160. Oh, Henry. I'm kicking your ass.

1074
01:15:09,580 --> 01:15:12,580
Oh, wow. Oh, my God. Oh, wow.

1075
01:15:12,580 --> 01:15:16,580
It's not even close. Yeah, this is a clear NVIDIA win.

1076
01:15:16,580 --> 01:15:21,580
CPU is the same. NVIDIA W. You're using less GPU though.

1077
01:15:21,580 --> 01:15:25,580
Yeah, but I'm also getting less GPU. Well, you're getting nothing for it.

1078
01:15:25,580 --> 01:15:28,580
Yeah. Go towards that hammer and circle thing.

1079
01:15:28,580 --> 01:15:31,580
And turn out to suck this time.

1080
01:15:31,580 --> 01:15:34,580
Hey, who got stuck last time? You.

1081
01:15:34,580 --> 01:15:40,580
And? Me later. All right, I'm going to make it.

1082
01:15:40,580 --> 01:15:43,580
I'm going to make it, buddy. Don't even worry, dog.

1083
01:15:43,580 --> 01:15:46,580
Okay, which way? We're going to the right of the sickle? Sure.

1084
01:15:46,580 --> 01:15:50,580
All right. Let's go. Oh, what I hit.

1085
01:15:50,580 --> 01:15:55,580
What even is this? Oh, it's a rock. I mean, yeah, that makes sense.

1086
01:15:55,580 --> 01:15:59,580
So is it like timed? Like, what is the point of this game? I don't know what this game is.

1087
01:16:00,580 --> 01:16:05,580
Does anyone, this game? Is this like farming simulator, but for.

1088
01:16:05,580 --> 01:16:08,580
The Ladder over simulator?

1089
01:16:08,580 --> 01:16:11,580
It's like an off-road trucking simulator, maybe.

1090
01:16:11,580 --> 01:16:16,580
I think, I think Luke's dad is super into it or something.

1091
01:16:16,580 --> 01:16:20,580
Why don't you get through the water? Because I assume that's the plan.

1092
01:16:20,580 --> 01:16:24,580
I assume you have to get through the water, right? I'm going to go around the water.

1093
01:16:24,580 --> 01:16:27,580
Stupid. There's an airplane over here. Stupid.

1094
01:16:27,580 --> 01:16:30,580
And a house. Uh-oh. Oh, that's not good.

1095
01:16:30,580 --> 01:16:33,580
Oh, no, we're okay. We're okay.

1096
01:16:33,580 --> 01:16:36,580
Oh, it's a helicopter. You guys would not do very well.

1097
01:16:36,580 --> 01:16:39,580
Is there water inside the cabin? An apocalypse.

1098
01:16:39,580 --> 01:16:42,580
I think there's water in the cab. Oh, this is our life now.

1099
01:16:42,580 --> 01:16:46,580
Yeah. Okay. So that's where I am.

1100
01:16:46,580 --> 01:16:49,580
150 frames. Oh, yeah. Mr.

1101
01:16:49,580 --> 01:16:53,580
Why are you driving in the water? The water found me.

1102
01:16:53,580 --> 01:16:57,580
This guy. Do you normally drive through the water in your cars?

1103
01:16:57,580 --> 01:17:01,580
You should call him Jordan hypocrisy. I almost made it out.

1104
01:17:01,580 --> 01:17:04,580
Hypocrisy Jordan. I'm still moving. I'm still moving.

1105
01:17:04,580 --> 01:17:09,580
Are you, though? Well, if I move the camera, it looks like I'm moving.

1106
01:17:09,580 --> 01:17:12,580
Oh, that's true. That does kind of work.

1107
01:17:12,580 --> 01:17:15,580
Look, guys, I'm moving. I'm moving forward.

1108
01:17:15,580 --> 01:17:19,580
Hold on. Am I moving forward? I might actually be moving a little bit.

1109
01:17:19,580 --> 01:17:22,580
How do you use the wind? Dude, I'm moving.

1110
01:17:23,580 --> 01:17:26,580
I'm going to make it. Ha. Attach winch.

1111
01:17:26,580 --> 01:17:30,580
Ah. So can you winch yourself out of places?

1112
01:17:30,580 --> 01:17:33,580
I mean, theoretically, you could with a winch, right?

1113
01:17:33,580 --> 01:17:36,580
Like. I would assume. Dude, check this out.

1114
01:17:36,580 --> 01:17:39,580
Check this out. You're getting out of that?

1115
01:17:39,580 --> 01:17:42,580
I'm getting out of it. Let's go. Let's go.

1116
01:17:42,580 --> 01:17:47,580
Just lean on the gas. I mean, it doesn't matter that the engine's intaking water.

1117
01:17:47,580 --> 01:17:51,580
You know, water combustion engine.

1118
01:17:52,580 --> 01:17:55,580
It's a good combo. Hey, Dan, you want to hit me with a merge message?

1119
01:17:55,580 --> 01:17:58,580
Sure. Let's see what we got here.

1120
01:17:59,580 --> 01:18:03,580
Hello. Greetings from Lithuania. Thanks for early stream.

1121
01:18:03,580 --> 01:18:07,580
Any plans or ideas to make WAN Show a bit earlier as well?

1122
01:18:07,580 --> 01:18:10,580
In the EU, WAN starts typically at 2 to 3 a.m.

1123
01:18:10,580 --> 01:18:13,580
A bit late to enjoy the show. Cheers.

1124
01:18:14,580 --> 01:18:18,580
We'd love to, but I got to be real with you.

1125
01:18:18,580 --> 01:18:28,580
If Yvonne, after all these years, hasn't won the battle to making WAN Show earlier,

1126
01:18:28,580 --> 01:18:32,580
as much as I love my Euro friends who are watching the show,

1127
01:18:32,580 --> 01:18:38,580
I don't love them as much as I love my wife. And so it probably isn't going to be the factor to push it over the edge.

1128
01:18:38,580 --> 01:18:41,580
Oh, now my engine has a problem. It's hilarious.

1129
01:18:41,580 --> 01:18:44,580
Oh no. Oh boy. Dude, I'm out.

1130
01:18:44,580 --> 01:18:48,580
I'm out and I am moving.

1131
01:18:48,580 --> 01:18:54,580
Ha. Ha. I mean, I don't know where the meeting point is always behind me.

1132
01:18:54,580 --> 01:18:57,580
This is kind of fun. There we go. I figured out the winch.

1133
01:18:57,580 --> 01:19:04,580
I'm doing good now. Yeah, we'd love to though. It actually works a lot better for my day and my week to do it earlier,

1134
01:19:04,580 --> 01:19:08,580
but the challenge is just that we have other stuff to film and...

1135
01:19:08,580 --> 01:19:12,580
Hey, we're free. Even if our intention is to do early WAN Show,

1136
01:19:12,580 --> 01:19:14,580
it just often doesn't work out that way.

1137
01:19:17,580 --> 01:19:20,580
Oh wow. My engine is making black smoke.

1138
01:19:20,580 --> 01:19:23,580
That's good, right? Oh yeah. It's working.

1139
01:19:23,580 --> 01:19:26,580
Okay. Next game. Here we go.

1140
01:19:26,580 --> 01:19:30,580
Dan, you want to hit me with another? Absolutely.

1141
01:19:30,580 --> 01:19:33,580
What emerging tech excites you the most

1142
01:19:33,580 --> 01:19:36,580
and how will this affect personal computers in the coming years?

1143
01:19:36,580 --> 01:19:42,580
Thanks for the screwdriver and I'm excited for shirts that will survive my laundry habits.

1144
01:19:42,580 --> 01:19:46,580
Nice. We love that here.

1145
01:19:46,580 --> 01:19:55,580
Emerging tech. I mean, if I didn't say AR, right, like that would be a lie.

1146
01:19:55,580 --> 01:20:01,580
AR is super exciting. Unfortunately, a lot of the things that excite me most about AR

1147
01:20:01,580 --> 01:20:04,580
are kind of the creepiest things. Okay.

1148
01:20:04,580 --> 01:20:09,580
Like, I'm the kind of person who has a really hard time with names and faces at things like trade shows

1149
01:20:09,580 --> 01:20:12,580
and industry events.

1150
01:20:12,580 --> 01:20:16,580
So what I want is AR glasses that facial-recognize people

1151
01:20:16,580 --> 01:20:21,580
and give me their stats, you know? Who are they, where do they work, how many kids do they have,

1152
01:20:21,580 --> 01:20:26,580
and that can be from my own notes or whatever, right? Or realistically, in the future, we're heading into it.

1153
01:20:26,580 --> 01:20:29,580
It won't be. It'll pull their Facebook profile or whatever.

1154
01:20:29,580 --> 01:20:32,580
Okay, these controls are not good, whatever's happening.

1155
01:20:32,580 --> 01:20:35,580
Oh, buddy.

1156
01:20:35,580 --> 01:20:38,580
What is happening right now? I don't know. The controls are weird.

1157
01:20:38,580 --> 01:20:42,580
Whoa. This is War Thunder, by the way.

1158
01:20:42,580 --> 01:20:45,580
What am I doing here? Okay, there we go.

1159
01:20:45,580 --> 01:20:48,580
Keep working. Most is a little better.

1160
01:20:48,580 --> 01:20:51,580
What? Oh, you're in here. Oh, I get it.

1161
01:20:51,580 --> 01:20:59,580
I think I understand the controls. It follows the circle.

1162
01:20:59,580 --> 01:21:01,580
I can't say it's my favorite thing, but it's something.

1163
01:21:02,580 --> 01:21:05,580
I'm going to go. Okay. Oh, yeah, keyboard mouse.

1164
01:21:05,580 --> 01:21:08,580
Let's go. How do I fire?

1165
01:21:08,580 --> 01:21:11,580
Space? Shift? Most.

1166
01:21:11,580 --> 01:21:14,580
Seriously? Most one. Oh, my gun's jammed.

1167
01:21:14,580 --> 01:21:17,580
Well, you should fix that. Oh, hi.

1168
01:21:17,580 --> 01:21:20,580
Whoa, that was close, buddy.

1169
01:21:20,580 --> 01:21:23,580
Were we both trying?

1170
01:21:23,580 --> 01:21:27,580
I almost had you. Can we collide in the air?

1171
01:21:27,580 --> 01:21:29,580
Is that thing you can do in this game?

1172
01:21:30,580 --> 01:21:34,580
Oh, I lost him. Where'd he go?

1173
01:21:34,580 --> 01:21:37,580
Is there friendly fire?

1174
01:21:37,580 --> 01:21:41,580
Well, we're in a team. That's unfortunate. Are you being hit?

1175
01:21:41,580 --> 01:21:44,580
Maybe. Kind of looks like it.

1176
01:21:49,580 --> 01:21:53,580
I'm going to get him. I'm going to get him, guys.

1177
01:21:53,580 --> 01:21:57,580
I'm so going to get him. Wait. Well, unless the ground gets him first.

1178
01:22:00,580 --> 01:22:03,580
Dang it. Come on.

1179
01:22:03,580 --> 01:22:07,580
I'm closing. I'm closing. I'm closing.

1180
01:22:07,580 --> 01:22:09,580
Always be closing.

1181
01:22:11,580 --> 01:22:15,580
What the hell are you? Don't worry about it.

1182
01:22:15,580 --> 01:22:19,580
Do you guys know who won SnowRunner?

1183
01:22:19,580 --> 01:22:22,580
Who won it? Yeah. Here we go.

1184
01:22:22,580 --> 01:22:25,580
Here we go. No, I got him. I got him.

1185
01:22:25,580 --> 01:22:28,580
I got me. Damn. Yeah, I'm okay.

1186
01:22:28,580 --> 01:22:33,580
Yeah, I clipped my own tail. I saw the pieces in the air and I was like, oh, they're pieces of him.

1187
01:22:33,580 --> 01:22:36,580
Which card? Who won SnowRunner? They weren't.

1188
01:22:36,580 --> 01:22:39,580
Thanks, Chat. Last game. Chat knows.

1189
01:22:39,580 --> 01:22:42,580
NVIDIA. Thank you, Chat. Thanks, Chat.

1190
01:22:42,580 --> 01:22:45,580
I'm going to jump. We got distracted. Back into the battle here.

1191
01:22:45,580 --> 01:22:48,580
Okay. Destroy the enemy planes. Oh crap, my engine stopped working.

1192
01:22:48,580 --> 01:22:51,580
How's our... Make it go. Oh my goodness.

1193
01:22:51,580 --> 01:22:54,580
This is... This is not good. Buddy, this is not even close.

1194
01:22:54,580 --> 01:22:57,580
Let me go land and live in France for the rest of the war.

1195
01:22:57,580 --> 01:23:05,340
You're in a firefight. I got no engine. And getting like 25% more FPS than me.

1196
01:23:05,340 --> 01:23:10,340
And I'm way out here at a distance. This is not good.

1197
01:23:10,340 --> 01:23:13,580
I'm coming to rescue you. Thank you. You're 2.6 kilometers away.

1198
01:23:13,580 --> 01:23:16,580
All right. How do I throttle up? I don't know.

1199
01:23:16,580 --> 01:23:22,580
Cool. Did you manage to land it?

1200
01:23:22,580 --> 01:23:25,580
Yeah. Heck yeah. Hit a tree.

1201
01:23:25,580 --> 01:23:28,580
Okay. Okay. 12 seconds.

1202
01:23:28,580 --> 01:23:31,580
He's going to come help me over here. Incoming. Here we go.

1203
01:23:31,580 --> 01:23:34,580
Okay. Can you see the gunfire? Can you see the gunfire hitting the ground?

1204
01:23:34,580 --> 01:23:37,580
Yeah. Yeah. Hit that truck in front of me.

1205
01:23:37,580 --> 01:23:40,580
He's coming to get me. I'm not sure where you jerk. What are you going to do about it?

1206
01:23:40,580 --> 01:23:43,580
Bam! Next game. All right.

1207
01:23:43,580 --> 01:23:46,580
Next game. Who won that? Oh you.

1208
01:23:46,580 --> 01:23:49,580
I did. Okay. Oh dude, not even close.

1209
01:23:49,580 --> 01:23:52,580
Okay. Yeah. So far.

1210
01:23:52,580 --> 01:23:56,260
When people are asking who won SnowRunner, I thought they meant like which of us got farther in the object.

1211
01:23:56,260 --> 01:23:59,260
Oh. I'm sorry. Yeah.

1212
01:23:59,260 --> 01:24:02,260
Now I got confused for a second here. All right.

1213
01:24:02,260 --> 01:24:05,760
But can it run minecraft?

1214
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:09,260
This is Java, right? Yeah. Is it modded?

1215
01:24:09,260 --> 01:24:12,260
No. No? Okay.

1216
01:24:12,260 --> 01:24:15,260
Okay. So obviously. Our way.

1217
01:24:15,260 --> 01:24:18,260
Did you guys intentionally pick the same seed? Yeah. Okay.

1218
01:24:18,260 --> 01:24:21,260
So are we both. Oh we're both in the same place. Oh look at that.

1219
01:24:21,260 --> 01:24:24,260
Look at that. How convenient. Okay.

1220
01:24:24,260 --> 01:24:27,260
Oh my goodness. Yeah.

1221
01:24:27,260 --> 01:24:36,260
Not close. No contest. I mean, to be clear, 500, 600 FPS that I'm getting.

1222
01:24:36,260 --> 01:24:39,260
Good enough. I suppose it's acceptable.

1223
01:24:39,260 --> 01:24:43,260
No. It's not good enough. Literally double the FPS.

1224
01:24:43,260 --> 01:24:46,260
I mean, I wouldn't say no to it. Oh yeah.

1225
01:24:46,260 --> 01:24:49,260
And either of you got coil wine? Chat's asking.

1226
01:24:49,260 --> 01:24:53,260
Coil wine. I mean that's going to come down more to the design of the individual board.

1227
01:24:53,260 --> 01:24:56,260
And less down to the, like the GPU die.

1228
01:24:56,260 --> 01:24:59,260
So, but I'm not making any out.

1229
01:24:59,260 --> 01:25:05,260
It is a good question when you're running a game with extremely high FPS sometimes though.

1230
01:25:05,260 --> 01:25:09,260
But I'm getting none on either of these particular cards.

1231
01:25:09,260 --> 01:25:12,260
But. It's a lottery too, right? Yeah.

1232
01:25:12,260 --> 01:25:16,260
Just because we have none on these cards. You could buy the exact same one and.

1233
01:25:16,260 --> 01:25:20,260
We've got a couple of CRTs out there. We could make really wine if you want.

1234
01:25:20,260 --> 01:25:24,260
Who is the board partner for this one anyway? Eyecraft is a.

1235
01:25:24,260 --> 01:25:27,260
That's Max on. Oh, okay.

1236
01:25:27,260 --> 01:25:30,260
That's actually kind of a good looking card.

1237
01:25:30,260 --> 01:25:34,260
That's kind of like iPod vibes. So, um, double space.

1238
01:25:34,260 --> 01:25:38,260
And then let's fly toward this island.

1239
01:25:38,260 --> 01:25:41,260
Okay. Okay. We going?

1240
01:25:41,260 --> 01:25:44,260
Which one was that? Okay. There.

1241
01:25:44,260 --> 01:25:47,260
Okay. You're so far ahead of me again. Okay.

1242
01:25:47,260 --> 01:25:51,260
So is there any like, yeah, no, this just isn't close.

1243
01:25:51,260 --> 01:25:59,260
At all. Like four, uh, it dropped up to like 100 now and then, but.

1244
01:25:59,260 --> 01:26:02,260
Yeah. No, my lows are much lower.

1245
01:26:02,260 --> 01:26:06,260
My mat. My averages are much. Average are digging underground.

1246
01:26:06,260 --> 01:26:09,260
Sure. Down we go. Yeah.

1247
01:26:09,260 --> 01:26:12,260
Still 800. My 100. Interesting.

1248
01:26:12,260 --> 01:26:15,260
My 1% low. Oh no. Yeah.

1249
01:26:15,260 --> 01:26:18,260
This is terrible compared to you. Crazy. Yep.

1250
01:26:18,260 --> 01:26:21,260
You win. Wow. Sick.

1251
01:26:21,260 --> 01:26:26,260
I mean, this is at least going smoother than last time.

1252
01:26:26,260 --> 01:26:29,260
Are we testing more games at more games per hour than before?

1253
01:26:29,260 --> 01:26:32,260
No. If we have been live.

1254
01:26:32,260 --> 01:26:38,260
If we ignore the whole, the whole lost power in the middle of the stream bit.

1255
01:26:38,260 --> 01:26:41,260
Dan, do you want to hit me with a merge message to stall for time?

1256
01:26:41,260 --> 01:26:44,260
Oh no, they're done. Let's go. Great job guys.

1257
01:26:44,260 --> 01:26:47,260
Heck yeah. We are averaging one game every five minutes.

1258
01:26:47,260 --> 01:26:54,260
Okay. Not so bad. It's blue.

1259
01:26:54,260 --> 01:26:57,260
It might be ratchet and clank.

1260
01:26:57,260 --> 01:27:01,260
Yes. All right. It does appear to be ratchet and clank.

1261
01:27:01,260 --> 01:27:04,260
Man, this is a pretty game.

1262
01:27:04,260 --> 01:27:10,260
Okay. This is actually a really good spot to stand and just move around a little bit.

1263
01:27:10,260 --> 01:27:13,260
You're winning. Yeah.

1264
01:27:13,260 --> 01:27:17,260
Like seriously winning.

1265
01:27:17,260 --> 01:27:20,260
A little bit. Wow. Okay.

1266
01:27:20,260 --> 01:27:28,260
I mean, you know, winning like 12%, but like we were talking about earlier.

1267
01:27:28,260 --> 01:27:31,260
Hey, 12, you know, five bucks is five bucks.

1268
01:27:31,260 --> 01:27:35,260
You know, exactly. I don't say no to five bucks.

1269
01:27:35,260 --> 01:27:38,260
Motion blur looks like it's on though. It does though.

1270
01:27:38,260 --> 01:27:45,260
Can we, let's lose the motion blur maybe. Let's just make sure we're running at the same settings here.

1271
01:27:46,260 --> 01:27:49,260
I don't see any motion blur here.

1272
01:27:49,260 --> 01:27:53,260
Okay. Yeah. It might just be, it might just be blocked off.

1273
01:27:53,260 --> 01:27:55,260
Oh, try graphics.

1274
01:27:59,260 --> 01:28:02,260
I don't, I don't see any. Oh, motion blur strength.

1275
01:28:02,260 --> 01:28:05,260
There we go. Wow. There it is.

1276
01:28:05,260 --> 01:28:08,260
Big yikes. Okay. Back.

1277
01:28:08,260 --> 01:28:11,260
There we go.

1278
01:28:11,260 --> 01:28:17,260
71. Now this feels like. Hope onto that guy and get the axe thing there and see if it is the same.

1279
01:28:17,260 --> 01:28:21,260
Oh, I dipped to as low as 56 now.

1280
01:28:21,260 --> 01:28:25,260
50 there, but as I drift across here.

1281
01:28:25,260 --> 01:28:28,260
You're still 20, 30 above me. Yep.

1282
01:28:28,260 --> 01:28:32,260
This is pretty clearly running better on arc.

1283
01:28:32,260 --> 01:28:36,260
Yep. I'm getting kind of nasty tearing.

1284
01:28:36,260 --> 01:28:39,260
Oh, so are you? Yeah, me too. Let's just the game.

1285
01:28:39,260 --> 01:28:42,260
This might just be one of those games where the sink is worth it.

1286
01:28:43,260 --> 01:28:46,260
We can't, we can't use variable refresh rate.

1287
01:28:46,260 --> 01:28:49,260
Variable refresh rate would be ideal because there would be less of a latency penalty,

1288
01:28:49,260 --> 01:28:54,260
but because we're using an HDMI matrix that is not compatible with that,

1289
01:28:54,260 --> 01:29:02,260
we're stuck with 60 Hertz. So we're relying on, we're flying on scopes with frame view.

1290
01:29:02,260 --> 01:29:05,260
All right. Let's move on. That's a win for arc.

1291
01:29:05,260 --> 01:29:09,260
All right. Let's start running total for arc versus NVIDIA.

1292
01:29:09,260 --> 01:29:11,260
Yeah. Again?

1293
01:29:27,260 --> 01:29:30,260
I thought arc had the lead. I kind of thought it did too.

1294
01:29:30,260 --> 01:29:35,260
Maybe I'm just like, so impressed it doesn't totally suck.

1295
01:29:35,260 --> 01:29:39,260
Yeah. So arc, arc five, NVIDIA eight.

1296
01:29:40,260 --> 01:29:45,260
Wow. This, is this still Java, but just like modded to high hell?

1297
01:29:45,260 --> 01:29:48,260
Oh, this is bedrock RTX.

1298
01:29:48,260 --> 01:29:51,260
Okay. So, okay. Hold on.

1299
01:29:51,260 --> 01:29:54,260
I'm going to try and get to where you are. I'm going to this little watery thing. Okay.

1300
01:29:54,260 --> 01:29:57,260
Hold on. Hold on. Yeah.

1301
01:29:57,260 --> 01:30:00,260
Okay. Put down a little bit.

1302
01:30:02,260 --> 01:30:05,260
Okay. Yeah. Okay.

1303
01:30:05,260 --> 01:30:08,260
So right around. Whoa.

1304
01:30:08,260 --> 01:30:11,260
Okay. So arc doesn't like Minecraft very much.

1305
01:30:11,260 --> 01:30:16,260
Well, or Minecraft doesn't like arc. One of them doesn't like the other and it's mutual.

1306
01:30:16,260 --> 01:30:19,260
Yeah. That's wild.

1307
01:30:19,260 --> 01:30:22,260
Man. Minecraft. Okay.

1308
01:30:22,260 --> 01:30:25,260
You can hate on bedrock all you want. And you should.

1309
01:30:25,260 --> 01:30:28,260
But the RTX version looks.

1310
01:30:28,260 --> 01:30:31,260
Oh, wow. It got so much better inside the frame.

1311
01:30:31,260 --> 01:30:35,260
Pretty cool. That is very awesome playable.

1312
01:30:35,260 --> 01:30:38,260
This is playable. You know? Yeah.

1313
01:30:38,260 --> 01:30:43,260
It's a big difference. And when you're dipping down to 30, 40 FPS, you can feel the latency.

1314
01:30:43,260 --> 01:30:47,260
I really don't like the look of bedrock though.

1315
01:30:47,260 --> 01:30:50,260
Like I said, you can hate on it all you want.

1316
01:30:50,260 --> 01:30:53,260
Yeah. And that's valid. We don't talk about bedrock.

1317
01:30:53,260 --> 01:30:58,260
Pretty much. We don't talk about bedrock. We don't talk about Minecraft even.

1318
01:30:58,260 --> 01:31:03,260
Ray tracing. Going into the water.

1319
01:31:03,260 --> 01:31:07,260
A lot less impressive with the ray traced lighting.

1320
01:31:07,260 --> 01:31:13,260
It's nice. Yeah. It's almost too gloomy though.

1321
01:31:13,260 --> 01:31:19,260
Yeah. Like the thing about the real world is that a lot of the time it's like kind of dazzling

1322
01:31:19,260 --> 01:31:22,260
and hard to look at and like it's hard to say things.

1323
01:31:22,260 --> 01:31:25,260
It's just foggy outside here. Yeah.

1324
01:31:25,260 --> 01:31:30,260
And it crafts some sunglasses.

1325
01:31:31,260 --> 01:31:34,260
Like two obsidian and some stone or something?

1326
01:31:34,260 --> 01:31:38,260
I don't even know.

1327
01:31:38,260 --> 01:31:41,260
Hello, dragon.

1328
01:31:41,260 --> 01:31:44,260
Some glass and like turtle shell maybe? Yeah.

1329
01:31:44,260 --> 01:31:47,260
What's our next? Dan, do you want to hit me with a merge message? Yeah, sure.

1330
01:31:47,260 --> 01:31:50,260
Let's see what we have here. Hello.

1331
01:31:50,260 --> 01:31:53,260
Got the water bottles a while back and love them.

1332
01:31:53,260 --> 01:31:59,260
Any plans on making an insulated coffee mug? Would love to get some insulated cups of mugs with LTT bottle quality.

1333
01:31:59,260 --> 01:32:03,260
See you tomorrow during win. We'd love to.

1334
01:32:03,260 --> 01:32:07,260
It just hasn't been a priority.

1335
01:32:07,260 --> 01:32:10,260
You know, you got a limited team size.

1336
01:32:10,260 --> 01:32:13,260
Everyone can only work on so many things at once.

1337
01:32:13,260 --> 01:32:17,260
And that isn't one of them right now.

1338
01:32:17,260 --> 01:32:23,260
I don't think we have any other vessels in development right now.

1339
01:32:23,260 --> 01:32:28,260
I actually brought it up at merch meeting on Wednesday yesterday.

1340
01:32:28,260 --> 01:32:34,260
Yesterday. Yeah, because Kyle made an offhand comment about some plastic that we were going to use

1341
01:32:34,260 --> 01:32:39,260
for some other product and how it's very similar in composition to Nalgene water bottles.

1342
01:32:39,260 --> 01:32:45,260
And I was like, hey, whatever happened to that project where we were going to do clear water bottles like a Nalgene?

1343
01:32:45,260 --> 01:32:52,260
And the answer was, yeah, we haven't looked at that in years.

1344
01:32:52,260 --> 01:32:56,260
And I was like, okay. Yep, duly noted then.

1345
01:32:56,260 --> 01:33:01,260
That's kind of what I thought. But now I know for sure.

1346
01:33:01,260 --> 01:33:04,260
I'm going to go fight this bear.

1347
01:33:04,260 --> 01:33:08,260
It's a cow. Well, I'm going to fight it anyway.

1348
01:33:08,260 --> 01:33:11,260
You have a slightly better chance against a cow than a bear.

1349
01:33:11,260 --> 01:33:17,260
You know, if a cow was not enough, I think it could do some damage, man.

1350
01:33:17,260 --> 01:33:20,260
Probably.

1351
01:33:20,260 --> 01:33:24,260
I think if a cow really thought its life was in danger and wanted to take you out,

1352
01:33:24,260 --> 01:33:27,260
I think you're done.

1353
01:33:27,260 --> 01:33:31,260
I'm going to take out a pig.

1354
01:33:31,260 --> 01:33:36,260
Have you ever considered using a controller duplexer slash mirror to make these tests more accurate

1355
01:33:36,260 --> 01:33:41,260
instead of having two different people? I thought about that too late.

1356
01:33:41,260 --> 01:33:45,260
And in most games, it won't even necessarily work.

1357
01:33:45,260 --> 01:33:48,260
It's not like that would work in...

1358
01:33:48,260 --> 01:33:51,260
No, you'll get random AI in a week.

1359
01:33:51,260 --> 01:33:58,260
So it just creates the illusion of repeatability, which in some ways is actually worse.

1360
01:33:58,260 --> 01:34:04,260
At least looking at this, knowing that it's flawed and meeting the flaws head-on

1361
01:34:04,260 --> 01:34:08,260
is acknowledging the truth of the situation,

1362
01:34:08,260 --> 01:34:13,260
which is that this is not a perfectly scientific test and never will be.

1363
01:34:17,260 --> 01:34:19,260
How are you doing over there, Rhys?

1364
01:34:20,260 --> 01:34:23,260
The video card is just thinking it's downloading something.

1365
01:34:23,260 --> 01:34:27,260
Sure. All right, Dan, hit me. Okey-doke.

1366
01:34:27,260 --> 01:34:36,260
Are we going to see some RTX 50 series and AMD Ryzen 9000 X3D overclocking videos?

1367
01:34:36,260 --> 01:34:39,260
Man.

1368
01:34:39,260 --> 01:34:45,260
I was about to say, I don't remember the last time we did an overclocking video.

1369
01:34:45,260 --> 01:34:52,260
But I do. What was it? The last time we did an overclocking video, I think it was 12th Gen.

1370
01:34:52,260 --> 01:34:58,260
And Asrock or somebody had a board that unlocked the locked processors.

1371
01:34:58,260 --> 01:35:03,260
And so we made a video about overclocking the snot out of it,

1372
01:35:03,260 --> 01:35:12,260
and it being a way better value and on Intel's locking down of overclocking capabilities over the years.

1373
01:35:12,260 --> 01:35:15,260
Honestly, I thought it was a pretty interesting piece.

1374
01:35:15,260 --> 01:35:17,260
Nobody cares.

1375
01:35:19,260 --> 01:35:24,260
And so I think that was the last time I kind of tried to talk about overclocking.

1376
01:35:24,260 --> 01:35:29,260
I mean, realistically, it comes more down to undervolting these days.

1377
01:35:29,260 --> 01:35:33,260
We've done bits of like extreme cooling overclock things up.

1378
01:35:33,260 --> 01:35:38,260
Long time ago. And I mean, realistically, Alex was the one driving those.

1379
01:35:38,260 --> 01:35:46,260
I've always been kind of okay, yeah, and when it comes to things like liquid nitrogen overclocking.

1380
01:35:46,260 --> 01:36:02,260
Yeah. Because it's, like, I could even get behind something like a multi-stage, like cascade, like Direction Die, like AC.

1381
01:36:02,260 --> 01:36:06,260
What are they called again? Just a phase change cooler. Yeah, like just like a phase change CPU cooler.

1382
01:36:06,260 --> 01:36:17,260
Like I remember back in the day on extreme systems and stuff, there'd be guys with these wild three-phase, like bring your CPU down to minus 80 degrees, daily driver systems and stuff.

1383
01:36:17,260 --> 01:36:20,260
And they're woefully impractical.

1384
01:36:20,260 --> 01:36:23,260
Who was that had the immersion case at CES?

1385
01:36:23,260 --> 01:36:26,260
Or was it Montt? Oh, I think it's Thermaltake. Was it?

1386
01:36:26,260 --> 01:36:29,260
Yeah, I think Thermaltake. It's pretty interesting to do a video version. Bringing back immersion.

1387
01:36:29,260 --> 01:36:33,260
Oh, there's no way we don't do a video on that. Oh, we did a sponsor for the Montt. Yeah, last way end show.

1388
01:36:33,260 --> 01:36:44,260
Yeah, 100% we're doing a video on that. But the thing about like dry ice and liquid nitrogen is I just look at it and I go like, okay, there is literally no conceivable way that you are daily driving that.

1389
01:36:44,260 --> 01:36:47,260
You're not daily driving it. You're doing it.

1390
01:36:47,260 --> 01:36:53,260
One time. It's costing you, you know, $50 every half hour or whatever in liquid nitrogen to run this thing.

1391
01:36:53,260 --> 01:36:56,260
I don't know what the actual numbers are, but it's a lot.

1392
01:36:56,260 --> 01:37:04,260
And with liquid helium, which is what they use for some of the really extreme benchmark runs, it's way higher, way higher.

1393
01:37:04,260 --> 01:37:08,260
So I'm just looking at this going like, you know, the world's running out of helium too.

1394
01:37:08,260 --> 01:37:11,260
It doesn't look great. It's just kind of silliness to me.

1395
01:37:11,260 --> 01:37:14,260
I don't really get it. Like it's cool.

1396
01:37:14,260 --> 01:37:20,260
And the really nerdy, I want to see things go fast part of me is like, that is so cool.

1397
01:37:20,260 --> 01:37:28,260
But from a consumer standpoint, which is where I try to align myself, who cares?

1398
01:37:28,260 --> 01:37:30,260
It's utterly irrelevant.

1399
01:37:31,260 --> 01:37:42,260
Like it's basically if like, it's like if Intel and AMD CEOs got out on stage and compared like the size of their sex characteristics.

1400
01:37:42,260 --> 01:37:47,260
It's that relevant to how good their products are for the average consumer.

1401
01:37:47,260 --> 01:37:52,260
It just doesn't matter. So I don't know.

1402
01:37:52,260 --> 01:38:04,260
So I just haven't really gotten into it. I could, I could see us potentially looking at trying to squeeze more out of the 9800X3D for an upcoming piece that we have.

1403
01:38:04,260 --> 01:38:10,260
We want to try to do. Remember, we did the 500 FPS gaming PC back when who was it?

1404
01:38:10,260 --> 01:38:13,260
ASUS launched their 500 Hertz monitor. Yeah.

1405
01:38:13,260 --> 01:38:20,260
So I was kind of thinking now that monitor refresh rates are getting up above 700 for some of the exotic ones out there.

1406
01:38:20,260 --> 01:38:29,260
And now that we've got the 5090, it'd be kind of cool to kick it up a notch and do the 1000 FPS gaming PC.

1407
01:38:29,260 --> 01:38:34,260
So we'll just turn it off.

1408
01:38:34,260 --> 01:38:42,260
Okay. And to reach that, we might need to overclock 9800X3D, but I don't know how much more we're going to get out of it.

1409
01:38:42,260 --> 01:38:51,260
So ray tracing is off. For some reason, Intel is kind of glitching, which sort of makes this a loss for Intel, even if the performance is equal.

1410
01:38:51,260 --> 01:38:57,260
I should be able to, I should be able to turn a setting on in the game.

1411
01:38:57,260 --> 01:39:06,260
Just so that you guys can see it. So you, so you believe us, we're going to go ahead and go through here.

1412
01:39:06,260 --> 01:39:09,260
We'll make it full screen for extra transparency.

1413
01:39:09,260 --> 01:39:12,260
Yep. Ray tracing, he no go on.

1414
01:39:12,260 --> 01:39:19,260
It's locked. Requires a DX12 and graphics card with support for DXR API.

1415
01:39:19,260 --> 01:39:22,260
I thought it did support DXR.

1416
01:39:22,260 --> 01:39:38,260
Hmm. The thing about, okay, the thing about ray tracing though is like HDR, there are standards, but there are also custom proprietary aspects to some implementations that can make them not work properly.

1417
01:39:39,260 --> 01:39:48,260
Not theoretically, like, that's the, that's like the Microsoft DirectX one, but I don't know what to tell you guys.

1418
01:39:48,260 --> 01:39:52,260
It's pretty even other than that. It's pretty even other than that.

1419
01:39:52,260 --> 01:39:55,260
But I think you're going to get the win because of the ray tracing.

1420
01:39:55,260 --> 01:40:00,260
My lows are a little lower maybe, but. No, mine, mine dipped.

1421
01:40:00,260 --> 01:40:03,260
A little bit. Mine dipped a little bit as well too, I want to say.

1422
01:40:03,260 --> 01:40:07,260
Or was I looking at you? I mean, yeah, there, mine just dipped to 90.

1423
01:40:07,260 --> 01:40:10,260
Okay. CPU is the same.

1424
01:40:12,260 --> 01:40:16,260
So, like, tie apart from ray tracing. Yeah, so I got to give the slight edge.

1425
01:40:16,260 --> 01:40:20,260
It's a matter of. Want to go talk to the janitor? Where'd he go?

1426
01:40:23,260 --> 01:40:27,260
Was that? It's amazing how good, like, rasterized lighting looks too.

1427
01:40:27,260 --> 01:40:30,260
Yeah. That looks really good to me.

1428
01:40:30,260 --> 01:40:33,260
You can, you can pre-bake a lot.

1429
01:40:33,260 --> 01:40:37,260
I'm actually getting a lot lower FPS in the chat here.

1430
01:40:37,260 --> 01:40:46,260
Me too though. Okay. I would still, I'd still call this a tie until you try to turn on ray tracing and until it falls flat.

1431
01:40:46,260 --> 01:40:49,260
And that can be something to fix next week. You never know.

1432
01:40:49,260 --> 01:40:52,260
You never know, but they haven't yet. They haven't yet, so it doesn't count.

1433
01:40:52,260 --> 01:40:55,260
Let me see if chat has any thoughts on whether there's a way to.

1434
01:40:55,260 --> 01:40:58,260
Someone says try opening the game again. Sure.

1435
01:40:58,260 --> 01:41:00,260
I'll give it a shot. Okay guys.

1436
01:41:04,260 --> 01:41:08,260
Nope, Dan's had enough of us. See you later, Dan.

1437
01:41:08,260 --> 01:41:10,260
Nice knowing you.

1438
01:41:15,260 --> 01:41:21,260
So what do you think? The next one of these, we have three systems and four helpers pre-loading.

1439
01:41:21,260 --> 01:41:26,260
Do you think that would put the timing about right? We have to hire some more people.

1440
01:41:26,260 --> 01:41:28,260
Resmit, kill us.

1441
01:41:29,260 --> 01:41:32,260
We blow another circuit? Yeah.

1442
01:41:32,260 --> 01:41:35,260
Bring in some power generation.

1443
01:41:38,260 --> 01:41:44,260
Alright. It would be nice to do all three, but that's what?

1444
01:41:44,260 --> 01:41:49,260
Three more hard drives? Oh yeah, no offense to AMD.

1445
01:41:49,260 --> 01:41:55,260
These aren't cheap. But they're not a major factor in the GPU market.

1446
01:41:55,260 --> 01:42:00,260
Neither is Intel for that matter, but the Intel question is a more interesting one because.

1447
01:42:00,260 --> 01:42:04,260
They're exciting and new. For better or for worse, AMD's cards just like kind of work.

1448
01:42:04,260 --> 01:42:07,260
It's not that they don't work. It's just that people don't. Yeah.

1449
01:42:07,260 --> 01:42:10,260
Intel's been hit or miss so far, so.

1450
01:42:10,260 --> 01:42:13,260
There's also a suggestion of launch parameters. Okay.

1451
01:42:13,260 --> 01:42:18,260
The thing is though. I'm not doing that. That's not the test today.

1452
01:42:18,260 --> 01:42:23,260
The test today is I'm random Joe Gamer.

1453
01:42:23,260 --> 01:42:26,260
I launched the game. That's it.

1454
01:42:26,260 --> 01:42:29,260
Oh, I am. I am trying relaunching the game.

1455
01:42:29,260 --> 01:42:34,260
I think that is a reasonable enough troubleshooting step for random Joe Gamer.

1456
01:42:34,260 --> 01:42:43,260
And I still can't turn it on. So let's call this edging out a win for Team NVIDIA.

1457
01:42:43,260 --> 01:42:46,260
Winning on technicality.

1458
01:42:46,260 --> 01:42:51,260
Don't fall, Andy. Alright. What are we looking at next?

1459
01:42:51,260 --> 01:42:54,260
AOE 2. AOE 2. Let's go.

1460
01:42:54,260 --> 01:42:57,260
Wow. Oh my goodness. This brings you back.

1461
01:42:58,260 --> 01:43:02,260
Okay. Okay. Man, what am I supposed to be doing here?

1462
01:43:02,260 --> 01:43:06,260
What's this buddy? Joan the maid. Is she like a special unit?

1463
01:43:06,260 --> 01:43:09,260
Like do I have to fight these guys? Do I have to rescue them?

1464
01:43:09,260 --> 01:43:12,260
How do you... Oh, not the... No, WSD.

1465
01:43:12,260 --> 01:43:15,260
That's just sticking around. Okay. I never really AOE 2'd.

1466
01:43:15,260 --> 01:43:19,260
I AOE 1'd. But never like competitively or anything.

1467
01:43:19,260 --> 01:43:24,260
It's smaller. But two.

1468
01:43:24,260 --> 01:43:27,260
I'm getting 287. Wow.

1469
01:43:27,260 --> 01:43:30,260
Can you win in here? Am I winning?

1470
01:43:30,260 --> 01:43:33,260
Am I winning? Go through the first little battlements there.

1471
01:43:33,260 --> 01:43:36,260
I'm super down to win. Oh no.

1472
01:43:36,260 --> 01:43:40,260
I dipped down a little. I dipped down a little.

1473
01:43:40,260 --> 01:43:46,260
Man, you know what I've been playing with my son recently?

1474
01:43:46,260 --> 01:43:50,260
This seems like the kind of game that there is a chance that you would appreciate.

1475
01:43:50,260 --> 01:43:53,260
Okay. Lords of the Realm 2.

1476
01:43:53,260 --> 01:43:56,260
Like DOS era kind of? Yeah.

1477
01:43:56,260 --> 01:43:59,260
Oh my goodness. Did you ever play Lords of the Realm 2?

1478
01:43:59,260 --> 01:44:03,260
I don't think I played it. It's still fun.

1479
01:44:03,260 --> 01:44:06,260
Yeah? It's still fun. The graphics suck.

1480
01:44:06,260 --> 01:44:09,260
Like even this looks great by comparison.

1481
01:44:09,260 --> 01:44:12,260
Is it like EGA graphics? Dude.

1482
01:44:12,260 --> 01:44:16,260
I don't remember what EGA is. I think it's 640 by 480.

1483
01:44:16,260 --> 01:44:20,260
30 color? Oh, I think he would be lucky to have 30 colors in Lords of the Realm 2.

1484
01:44:20,260 --> 01:44:23,260
No, I think it is. I think it's about that.

1485
01:44:23,260 --> 01:44:27,260
Okay. Yeah, no, it's still fun.

1486
01:44:27,260 --> 01:44:31,260
It turns out a good game is a good game. It really is.

1487
01:44:31,260 --> 01:44:34,260
Stay back, lest we be caught in the crossfire.

1488
01:44:34,260 --> 01:44:37,260
This looks like a win for me. Not by much.

1489
01:44:37,260 --> 01:44:40,260
But I think it is. But this looks like an arc win.

1490
01:44:40,260 --> 01:44:45,260
My GPU use is half of yours. Yeah, my lows are not really any better than yours though.

1491
01:44:45,260 --> 01:44:50,260
Mine are half. I'm at 40% GPU a year at 100.

1492
01:44:50,260 --> 01:44:54,260
That's interesting. Does that mean we're both CPU bottlenecked?

1493
01:44:54,260 --> 01:44:57,260
Maybe we're both CPU bottlenecked then.

1494
01:44:57,260 --> 01:45:01,260
I could see that. Because you look at our usage, we're both around 25%.

1495
01:45:01,260 --> 01:45:04,260
And this is an old game, even if it's like a remaster or whatever.

1496
01:45:04,260 --> 01:45:07,260
We might just be maxing out our one core.

1497
01:45:07,260 --> 01:45:10,260
That's probably what it is. Okay.

1498
01:45:10,260 --> 01:45:13,260
And everything I assume is just cranged.

1499
01:45:13,260 --> 01:45:20,260
It is on the game, but yeah. Okay, so let's call this one, I would say it's more fair to call this one a tie then.

1500
01:45:20,260 --> 01:45:23,260
People are saying arc W. Guys, I don't know.

1501
01:45:23,260 --> 01:45:26,260
I don't know. Zoom out, Marty. Zoom out.

1502
01:45:26,260 --> 01:45:29,260
No, I can't. Oh, you could.

1503
01:45:29,260 --> 01:45:32,260
I'm all the way out. Sorry.

1504
01:45:32,260 --> 01:45:35,260
Oh, it might be arc W.

1505
01:45:35,260 --> 01:45:38,260
Panning around. Maybe pan around.

1506
01:45:38,260 --> 01:45:41,260
115. When I pan.

1507
01:45:41,260 --> 01:45:44,260
Well, you get when you pan. Oh.

1508
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,260
145. My lows are 150.

1509
01:45:47,260 --> 01:45:50,260
I don't know, guys. I think this is a tie.

1510
01:45:50,260 --> 01:45:53,260
Yeah. Yeah, chat's changing to tie. Okay.

1511
01:45:53,260 --> 01:45:56,260
Okay. Oh, Rhys is still there.

1512
01:45:56,260 --> 01:46:01,260
Okay, Dan, hit me. Oh, Gidok.

1513
01:46:01,260 --> 01:46:06,260
Now, when you become a TV star, Linus, when will you cameo in a movie?

1514
01:46:06,260 --> 01:46:11,260
Also, what's your favorite tech movie? Weren't you in a movie one time?

1515
01:46:11,260 --> 01:46:14,260
I don't remember. More than once? No.

1516
01:46:14,260 --> 01:46:17,260
No? Your official word? Yeah.

1517
01:46:17,260 --> 01:46:20,260
Okay. Okay. Okay.

1518
01:46:20,260 --> 01:46:23,260
When you like the star of what's it called?

1519
01:46:23,260 --> 01:46:27,260
Mission Impossible? Sure. I would love to.

1520
01:46:27,260 --> 01:46:32,260
Tallest home cruise. If there's any casting agents watching, I don't need to be paid for it.

1521
01:46:32,260 --> 01:46:35,260
I don't care. I don't really need the money.

1522
01:46:35,260 --> 01:46:39,260
To be clear, I'm not trying to scab or anything here.

1523
01:46:39,260 --> 01:46:44,260
Like if someone else needs the work, I'm also more than happy for them to have the work

1524
01:46:44,260 --> 01:46:47,260
or if the right thing to do is for them to pay me.

1525
01:46:47,260 --> 01:46:50,260
I don't want to navigate the politics wrong here.

1526
01:46:50,260 --> 01:46:54,260
I don't need the money, but I would absolutely have a blast.

1527
01:46:54,260 --> 01:47:01,260
Just like playing the techie nephew who is fixing a computer in the background or whatever.

1528
01:47:01,260 --> 01:47:04,260
I don't need a speaking part or anything like that. I don't care.

1529
01:47:04,260 --> 01:47:10,260
Not for nothing, but you're a little over the nephew now. I just think I could be an elderly lady's nephew.

1530
01:47:10,260 --> 01:47:13,260
All right. Smart guy.

1531
01:47:14,260 --> 01:47:18,260
But yeah, I'd be super down. That'd be super fun.

1532
01:47:18,260 --> 01:47:22,260
I did maybe film something at some point.

1533
01:47:22,260 --> 01:47:25,260
Maybe. I don't know if it'll ever see the light of day.

1534
01:47:25,260 --> 01:47:28,260
I can't talk about it. Maybe it will.

1535
01:47:28,260 --> 01:47:33,260
Maybe it won't. It'd be super cool if it did. I don't know if it'll be a good movie or not, whatever.

1536
01:47:33,260 --> 01:47:36,260
But yeah, I'd love to. I think it'd be fun.

1537
01:47:36,260 --> 01:47:42,260
I'm not a great actor or anything, but if you just put me on camera doing what I do,

1538
01:47:42,260 --> 01:47:45,260
like if you just put a broken computer on the set,

1539
01:47:45,260 --> 01:47:48,260
and you're just like, okay, you just have to be in the background fixing it.

1540
01:47:48,260 --> 01:47:51,260
You can do that. Easy.

1541
01:47:51,260 --> 01:47:59,260
Easy. No problem. In fact, one of the things that really helped me settle in on tonight's show was

1542
01:47:59,260 --> 01:48:03,260
for figuring out the screen sharing for the demos.

1543
01:48:03,260 --> 01:48:08,260
Yeah. They had really good ideas for how to do it.

1544
01:48:08,260 --> 01:48:14,260
Yeah. They were like, hey, can we put our heads together and see if there's some other ideas?

1545
01:48:14,260 --> 01:48:20,260
Right. And that made me feel so much more comfortable the second I was working on something.

1546
01:48:20,260 --> 01:48:23,260
Yeah. This is normal now. Yeah.

1547
01:48:23,260 --> 01:48:31,260
Everything's fine. One of our writing team events where we get together once in a while, departmentally,

1548
01:48:31,260 --> 01:48:34,260
just so that we don't only ever see each other at work.

1549
01:48:34,260 --> 01:48:40,260
It's optional. One of our writing team events, though, I went, I ended up spending most of the time

1550
01:48:40,260 --> 01:48:45,260
diagnosing Jake's VR setup or something like that because that's what I'm most comfortable

1551
01:48:45,260 --> 01:48:49,260
doing anyway. It's not that I don't like the writing team or it's not that I don't like socializing

1552
01:48:49,260 --> 01:48:53,260
with them or whatever. It's just that it's my comfort zone.

1553
01:48:53,260 --> 01:49:00,260
So I just tend to gravitate toward just fixing a computer if all else is equal.

1554
01:49:00,260 --> 01:49:04,260
That's the thing that I'll find my way to.

1555
01:49:05,260 --> 01:49:08,260
Dan, I think you got to stall for a little bit more time here.

1556
01:49:08,260 --> 01:49:12,260
Okey dokey.

1557
01:49:12,260 --> 01:49:15,260
Let's see. Are you happy with the current generation of GPUs?

1558
01:49:15,260 --> 01:49:18,260
Battle Mage, Blackwell, our DNA4?

1559
01:49:18,260 --> 01:49:22,260
I mean, we're kind of finding that out right now.

1560
01:49:22,260 --> 01:49:25,260
I don't really know for 50 series yet, so.

1561
01:49:25,260 --> 01:49:29,260
I'm pretty happy with how Battle Mage is done today.

1562
01:49:29,260 --> 01:49:33,260
We're throwing some pretty random titles at it. A lot of it's really mainstream, Normie, but.

1563
01:49:33,260 --> 01:49:36,260
Even when it's losing, it's working. Yeah.

1564
01:49:36,260 --> 01:49:43,260
And it's not like being totally blown into the water. And even though there's some some scalpage going on, at least we know that there's a

1565
01:49:43,260 --> 01:49:48,260
strong intent to make it affordable and we can have some hope that it will get affordable

1566
01:49:48,260 --> 01:49:52,260
once supply eases up a little bit. And they'll keep making it.

1567
01:49:52,260 --> 01:49:55,260
50 series? It's tough.

1568
01:49:55,260 --> 01:49:59,260
The only one I've been hands-on with so far is the 5090.

1569
01:49:59,260 --> 01:50:04,260
And I have only, and that is a $2,000 GPU.

1570
01:50:04,260 --> 01:50:08,260
So like, who cares if it's good?

1571
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,260
Yeah, yeah. Nicholas Ploof cares if it's good.

1572
01:50:11,260 --> 01:50:16,260
The one guy. And for everyone else, it's like, what relevance does this have?

1573
01:50:16,260 --> 01:50:19,260
Like it's cool to look at and we're going to make lots of videos.

1574
01:50:19,260 --> 01:50:25,260
Gaming at 8K and overclocking it and shunt modding it for maximum power.

1575
01:50:25,260 --> 01:50:28,260
Like we're going to water cool it. Like we're going to do all this.

1576
01:50:28,260 --> 01:50:32,260
We'll do all the things. Because it's fun and it's cool and we love this stuff, right?

1577
01:50:32,260 --> 01:50:36,260
But what relevance does it have to most people?

1578
01:50:36,260 --> 01:50:44,260
In most of the world, $2,000 to spend that on anything but a vehicle.

1579
01:50:44,260 --> 01:50:47,260
Unhinged. You guys ready?

1580
01:50:47,260 --> 01:50:50,260
Yeah. All right, let's go.

1581
01:50:50,260 --> 01:50:55,260
And that's a perspective that we have to try to not lose even if we love the tech and

1582
01:50:55,260 --> 01:50:59,260
we love playing with it and think it's fun.

1583
01:50:59,260 --> 01:51:03,260
I believe this is Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced Edition.

1584
01:51:03,260 --> 01:51:06,260
Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced. It's really the most sensitivity edition.

1585
01:51:06,260 --> 01:51:09,260
Man, I did not enjoy this game.

1586
01:51:09,260 --> 01:51:13,260
I really tried to like it because my crew was into it.

1587
01:51:13,260 --> 01:51:19,260
Same. But I just couldn't really get over the whole, it's just Diablo.

1588
01:51:19,260 --> 01:51:22,260
Diablo and the menu has really annoyed me for some reason.

1589
01:51:22,260 --> 01:51:27,260
I don't remember that far back well enough to know if the menu was good or bad.

1590
01:51:27,260 --> 01:51:30,260
I don't know where I'm supposed to go right now. Oh, right.

1591
01:51:30,260 --> 01:51:35,260
Follow the little dude. If you also want to know if the menus are bad, you can pick it up on Green Gang Gaming.

1592
01:51:35,260 --> 01:51:40,260
Whoa, buddy. I guess it's on sale. Wow, it's like, is that $9?

1593
01:51:40,260 --> 01:51:43,260
To access the map. It's on Green Gang Gaming for $9.

1594
01:51:43,260 --> 01:51:46,260
$9? Yeah. 71% off or something?

1595
01:51:46,260 --> 01:51:50,260
I don't know. I knew it being a shill. Who cares?

1596
01:51:50,260 --> 01:51:53,260
Dan, did you say that out loud? Like, was your mic on?

1597
01:51:53,260 --> 01:51:56,260
Yeah, I don't know. Fight or don't. Green Gang Gaming.

1598
01:51:56,260 --> 01:51:59,260
Gaming. Shout out Green Gang Gaming. Let's go.

1599
01:51:59,260 --> 01:52:02,260
Dan's having his own separate conversation with the viewers.

1600
01:52:02,260 --> 01:52:08,260
And when you buy this game on Green Gang Gaming, you may want to consider running it on an

1601
01:52:08,260 --> 01:52:11,260
NVIDIA GPU. What's the delta? A lot.

1602
01:52:11,260 --> 01:52:14,260
Oh, wow. Yep. Like two thirds.

1603
01:52:14,260 --> 01:52:17,260
Oh my goodness. Not that close. Oh, it's like double.

1604
01:52:17,260 --> 01:52:21,260
Yep. 200 to 400, it looks like. With that said, I'm running it 200 FPS.

1605
01:52:21,260 --> 01:52:24,260
So clearly. I mean, it's fine. It's fine.

1606
01:52:24,260 --> 01:52:27,260
Oh my goodness.

1607
01:52:27,260 --> 01:52:32,260
Die already. Okay, there we go.

1608
01:52:32,260 --> 01:52:35,260
Do you know how to sprint in this game?

1609
01:52:35,260 --> 01:52:39,260
Yeah. Shift. Is my keyboard broken?

1610
01:52:39,260 --> 01:52:42,260
Oh, it's just really crappy sprinting. Okay.

1611
01:52:42,260 --> 01:52:45,260
It's not that much faster. It's more bouncing around than sprinting.

1612
01:52:45,260 --> 01:52:48,260
Oh, you can't strafe while you're sprinting.

1613
01:52:48,260 --> 01:52:51,260
Okay. Hold on. Are you going to the waypoint?

1614
01:52:51,260 --> 01:52:56,260
Yeah. Yeah, probably. Gosh darn it, Jordan.

1615
01:52:56,260 --> 01:53:01,260
All right, I'm going to try and get to wherever you are.

1616
01:53:01,260 --> 01:53:07,260
Because there was a, yeah, like you're not running any higher than me right now.

1617
01:53:07,260 --> 01:53:12,260
Oh, I'm moving directly away from the waypoint.

1618
01:53:12,260 --> 01:53:15,260
Sick. Where is the waypoint? Oh, it's on the map.

1619
01:53:15,260 --> 01:53:18,260
Hold tab.

1620
01:53:18,260 --> 01:53:22,260
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. And you know what?

1621
01:53:22,260 --> 01:53:26,260
This is 250 FPS. This is running great on R.

1622
01:53:26,260 --> 01:53:29,260
Yeah.

1623
01:53:29,260 --> 01:53:33,260
But Jordan's seeing as high as like 350, 400.

1624
01:53:33,260 --> 01:53:42,260
I had 491 point, I think. That's a little greater.

1625
01:53:42,260 --> 01:53:47,260
Dan, hit me.

1626
01:53:47,260 --> 01:53:54,260
Sure. Linus, are you willing to do a non-DGPU build with that new AMD CPU?

1627
01:53:54,260 --> 01:53:59,260
Give it everything you can to help. Fastest memory SSD to see if it's viable.

1628
01:53:59,260 --> 01:54:02,260
Then go over the cost to make sense versus a DGPU.

1629
01:54:02,260 --> 01:54:05,260
I can tell you right now the performance will make sense.

1630
01:54:05,260 --> 01:54:10,260
And I can tell you right now the cost is very unlikely to make sense.

1631
01:54:10,260 --> 01:54:16,260
I think that it is probably a very low volume product for AMD.

1632
01:54:16,260 --> 01:54:19,260
We're talking about Ryzen AI Max Plus.

1633
01:54:19,260 --> 01:54:27,260
So the one that I checked out in that ROG Z-Series gaming tablet thing.

1634
01:54:27,260 --> 01:54:31,260
Like gaming surface.

1635
01:54:31,260 --> 01:54:34,260
Flow Z13. Flow Z13. That's the one.

1636
01:54:34,260 --> 01:54:38,260
Thanks, Andy. Yeah, it's so cool. It's an incredible looking chip.

1637
01:54:38,260 --> 01:54:43,260
The performance that we were getting out of just 80 watts blew my flipping mind.

1638
01:54:43,260 --> 01:54:46,260
Did you check out that video? I did. Yeah, it was awesome.

1639
01:54:46,260 --> 01:54:52,260
So cool. And when I was in the AMD booth the next day or I think two days later, I was in the AMD

1640
01:54:52,260 --> 01:54:58,260
booth and they showed me an HP notebook that was running the same chip but at a lower power

1641
01:54:58,260 --> 01:55:02,260
envelope. So it was at 60 watts, which I have heard.

1642
01:55:02,260 --> 01:55:07,260
I'm not going to attribute this to anyone. I have heard it's probably about the sweet spot for the chip.

1643
01:55:07,260 --> 01:55:14,260
Okay. So this like seriously not that much chunkier than my Snapdragon.

1644
01:55:14,260 --> 01:55:17,260
Really? A little bit. A little bit.

1645
01:55:17,260 --> 01:55:24,260
And denser. Like heavier. But very compact machine running that chip at 60 watts.

1646
01:55:24,260 --> 01:55:27,260
Just like slays AAA games.

1647
01:55:27,260 --> 01:55:30,260
Yeah. Medium settings. 1080p.

1648
01:55:30,260 --> 01:55:33,260
But still. Still on chip. Yeah.

1649
01:55:33,260 --> 01:55:41,260
That's crazy. The thing is though, like we've seen time and time again that mobile chips, mobile performance

1650
01:55:41,260 --> 01:55:45,260
chips are not price competitive in the desktop.

1651
01:55:45,260 --> 01:55:48,260
And you see this when you look at just like anything from Mini's form, right?

1652
01:55:48,260 --> 01:55:52,260
They're great. They're cool little machines. In fact, I think we've even got one running over here.

1653
01:55:52,260 --> 01:55:55,260
Yeah. We've got to cut. Speak of the devil.

1654
01:55:55,260 --> 01:56:02,860
Got a couple of Mini's forms over here. So convenient. They're great for all kinds of things and they have a value beyond just price to performance.

1655
01:56:03,860 --> 01:56:08,860
Their price to performance isn't it.

1656
01:56:08,860 --> 01:56:11,860
All right. Seriously? Fortnite?

1657
01:56:11,860 --> 01:56:14,860
Apparently. All right. Let's do it.

1658
01:56:14,860 --> 01:56:18,860
Let's play some Fortnite. I found out recently that my son is like really good at Fortnite.

1659
01:56:18,860 --> 01:56:21,860
Oh yeah? Yeah. He's like actually a gamer.

1660
01:56:21,860 --> 01:56:24,860
Well, it's good. Go figure. It's too bad it's Fortnite.

1661
01:56:24,860 --> 01:56:27,860
You mean X son? It's too bad it's Fortnite.

1662
01:56:27,860 --> 01:56:29,860
You mean X son? For what it's worth.

1663
01:56:30,860 --> 01:56:33,860
Guys, cousins into it though. Oh, okay. So they've been playing.

1664
01:56:33,860 --> 01:56:36,860
That's cool. All right.

1665
01:56:36,860 --> 01:56:39,860
Here we go. Wow. Wow.

1666
01:56:39,860 --> 01:56:42,860
I find that match so much more easily than you. At least you better. I guess you should get good scrub.

1667
01:56:42,860 --> 01:56:45,860
I don't know. We'll see. Oh boy.

1668
01:56:45,860 --> 01:56:48,860
Time to prepare some shaders for a bit. Oh no.

1669
01:56:48,860 --> 01:56:51,860
We're good. We're good. That didn't take that long.

1670
01:56:51,860 --> 01:56:54,860
Here we go. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

1671
01:56:54,860 --> 01:56:58,860
I'm going to build. I'm going to run.

1672
01:56:58,860 --> 01:57:01,860
Okay. Should we try to land in approximately the same spot? Oh wow.

1673
01:57:01,860 --> 01:57:04,860
That's a beautiful dream. Where are you dropping boys?

1674
01:57:06,860 --> 01:57:08,860
I'm connecting. That's pretty good.

1675
01:57:09,860 --> 01:57:12,860
Battle bus launching in nine seconds, six seconds.

1676
01:57:12,860 --> 01:57:15,860
Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.

1677
01:57:15,860 --> 01:57:19,860
Preparing shaders. Nice. That's mostly CPU though.

1678
01:57:19,860 --> 01:57:23,860
Why aren't they duoing? Oh yeah. We probably should have done that.

1679
01:57:23,860 --> 01:57:27,860
We need to set aside an afternoon for someone to go through all of our benchmarking accounts.

1680
01:57:28,860 --> 01:57:31,860
And make sure they're all friends on Steam.

1681
01:57:31,860 --> 01:57:34,860
They're all friends. They're in the family now. Are they all?

1682
01:57:34,860 --> 01:57:37,860
Yeah, because we're sharing games between things. They're not friends. They're not friends.

1683
01:57:37,860 --> 01:57:44,860
They're not friends. Okay. We need to make sure they're all friends on Epic and Steam and Origin and all the various...

1684
01:57:44,860 --> 01:57:47,860
Okay, so where should I go? I don't know.

1685
01:57:47,860 --> 01:57:50,860
How do you fortnite? Dude, do I look like I know that?

1686
01:57:50,860 --> 01:57:53,860
Sammy, are you a fortniter? Okay, I'm going to go to the castle on the right.

1687
01:57:53,860 --> 01:57:56,860
See this one? Castle in the very... Okay.

1688
01:57:57,860 --> 01:58:02,860
Okay. Tilted towers. And I'm going to take my sweep time falling.

1689
01:58:02,860 --> 01:58:06,860
I have a diamond pony? This is my thing?

1690
01:58:08,860 --> 01:58:12,860
Okay, I'm going to glide down as slow as I can. So hopefully you can catch up to me.

1691
01:58:14,860 --> 01:58:17,860
Am I still above it? Oh lordy. I don't even know where I am anymore.

1692
01:58:17,860 --> 01:58:19,860
Okay, yes I do. Oh!

1693
01:58:20,860 --> 01:58:23,860
Okay, diamond pony is back. Oh shoot. I keep pressing space.

1694
01:58:23,860 --> 01:58:26,860
I want to hold space to glide, but it's not right.

1695
01:58:27,860 --> 01:58:30,860
Okay. Where are you heading? No, no, you got to dive more.

1696
01:58:30,860 --> 01:58:33,860
Yeah, you got to skydive so you can get there faster. Yeah.

1697
01:58:34,860 --> 01:58:37,860
Apparently its name is Butt Stallion.

1698
01:58:38,860 --> 01:58:42,860
Butt Stallion? I don't need to know that.

1699
01:58:42,860 --> 01:58:45,860
That is not a necessary thing for me to know. No, you do.

1700
01:58:45,860 --> 01:58:48,860
Where are you heading? Well, I thought I was going to the castle over there. Okay, okay, are you heading to that house there?

1701
01:58:48,860 --> 01:58:52,860
I don't know. No, no, you're not going to make it to the castle. Okay, that house on the right.

1702
01:58:52,860 --> 01:58:55,860
All right. Okay, deploy your glider and head to that.

1703
01:58:55,860 --> 01:58:58,860
Okay, I'm coming too. Kind of by that orange bridge.

1704
01:58:59,860 --> 01:59:01,860
Oh, am I going to be able to get there?

1705
01:59:02,860 --> 01:59:05,860
Okay, I'm taking my diamond pony there. Just try not to die.

1706
01:59:05,860 --> 01:59:08,860
No promises. Okay.

1707
01:59:09,860 --> 01:59:12,860
I just want us to be in approximately the same spot on the map.

1708
01:59:12,860 --> 01:59:16,860
Wait, where are you landing? Oh, you missed it brother.

1709
01:59:16,860 --> 01:59:19,860
Okay, are you in this house down here? No, no, I'm coming, I'm coming.

1710
01:59:19,860 --> 01:59:22,860
I'll come to that house. I'll come to that house. Where are we at?

1711
01:59:24,860 --> 01:59:27,860
Geez. Oh, we better not die right away.

1712
01:59:27,860 --> 01:59:29,860
Okay, okay, I'm coming, I'm coming.

1713
01:59:30,860 --> 01:59:33,860
These look pretty even. They're both getting around 75.

1714
01:59:33,860 --> 01:59:36,860
Why is my... Come on, diamond pony, get to the ground.

1715
01:59:36,860 --> 01:59:40,860
How do I... Hurry up. How do I get off the pony?

1716
01:59:41,860 --> 01:59:43,860
Get P for pony. I don't know.

1717
01:59:46,860 --> 01:59:49,860
Okay, is anyone around here? No, I think I'm good, I'm safe. Okay, where are you at?

1718
01:59:49,860 --> 01:59:52,860
I'm in the building. Okay, are you in the one that you landed next to?

1719
01:59:52,860 --> 01:59:56,860
Yes, sir. Okay, here, here, here. Okay, so we're in the TV, watching TV?

1720
01:59:56,860 --> 02:00:00,860
Yeah. Okay, what are we looking at? Oh, wow, it's a dead heat.

1721
02:00:00,860 --> 02:00:03,860
Yeah. Whoa, that is...

1722
02:00:03,860 --> 02:00:05,860
Wow, that is really close.

1723
02:00:06,860 --> 02:00:09,860
You could tell me right now that we are on the exact same system

1724
02:00:09,860 --> 02:00:12,860
and I'd be like, yep, I believe you.

1725
02:00:12,860 --> 02:00:15,860
Okay, so let's come out and let's go down this path here.

1726
02:00:17,860 --> 02:00:19,860
Where are you at? I have no idea.

1727
02:00:20,860 --> 02:00:24,860
Okay, oh yeah, okay. So I'm facing the same rock as you.

1728
02:00:24,860 --> 02:00:28,860
Let's go to the right. Here we go. And let's just run down the path here.

1729
02:00:28,860 --> 02:00:34,860
Alright. 77, 76, 77, 78, 80.

1730
02:00:34,860 --> 02:00:38,860
76. Oh, you're running. Okay, 75.

1731
02:00:38,860 --> 02:00:42,860
Pretty even. It is possible that my averages are a little lower.

1732
02:00:42,860 --> 02:00:44,860
It looks like they are a little lower.

1733
02:00:45,860 --> 02:00:51,860
Your 1%'s are a little lower. My 1%'s have been sometimes higher though

1734
02:00:51,860 --> 02:00:53,860
and sometimes a little lower.

1735
02:00:54,860 --> 02:00:59,860
I think this might be a slight win for NVIDIA,

1736
02:00:59,860 --> 02:01:04,860
but it's so close that I would be hesitant

1737
02:01:04,860 --> 02:01:07,860
to declare it a clear victory.

1738
02:01:07,860 --> 02:01:12,860
It's really close. We've drifted off each other a little bit here.

1739
02:01:12,860 --> 02:01:15,860
I was getting shot at. Oh, that makes sense.

1740
02:01:18,860 --> 02:01:21,860
Okay. Yeah. Alright, next game's ready.

1741
02:01:21,860 --> 02:01:22,860
Let's go.

1742
02:01:24,860 --> 02:01:27,860
Yeah, chat declares it to be a tie. Alright.

1743
02:01:28,860 --> 02:01:31,860
Oh, we're benchmarking here. Alright.

1744
02:01:32,860 --> 02:01:35,860
1, 2, 3, start. You okay?

1745
02:01:35,860 --> 02:01:38,860
1, 2, 3. Here we go, boys.

1746
02:01:38,860 --> 02:01:43,860
I believe this is the Final Fantasy 14 benchmark?

1747
02:01:43,860 --> 02:01:46,860
Indeed. Yes. Okay.

1748
02:01:46,860 --> 02:01:50,860
You can tell by the Moodle. It's loaded a little faster. I just have a tiny screen.

1749
02:01:51,860 --> 02:01:54,860
I think I win. Oh, come on.

1750
02:01:54,860 --> 02:01:59,860
We're not measuring loading time. Although, it was a lot faster for you.

1751
02:01:59,860 --> 02:02:03,860
Hard drive? Hmm. Maybe they're not in Drive.

1752
02:02:03,860 --> 02:02:04,860
Okay, here we go.

1753
02:02:06,860 --> 02:02:10,860
I'm at like 230, 220 with this guy's face in the way.

1754
02:02:11,860 --> 02:02:15,860
Okay, I'll remember that spot.

1755
02:02:15,860 --> 02:02:18,860
Oh, 260. Hold on.

1756
02:02:18,860 --> 02:02:22,860
Come on. Oh, dang.

1757
02:02:22,860 --> 02:02:26,860
Okay. Ten lower? Yeah, this looks like it might be a loss for me.

1758
02:02:27,860 --> 02:02:28,860
We'll see.

1759
02:02:30,860 --> 02:02:34,860
It looks like I dipped off less when I came off of that though.

1760
02:02:34,860 --> 02:02:38,860
If we look at the FPS chart below. Oh, no, maybe about the same.

1761
02:02:39,860 --> 02:02:45,860
Let's see how this load goes here. Let me hide your face because we've got score bottom left.

1762
02:02:45,860 --> 02:02:46,860
Yeah.

1763
02:02:53,860 --> 02:02:56,860
I think you dropped off a little less there. I'm trying.

1764
02:02:56,860 --> 02:02:59,860
Yeah, I think my highs are less high.

1765
02:02:59,860 --> 02:03:02,860
You're a little more even. But my lows might be a little less low, yeah.

1766
02:03:02,860 --> 02:03:04,860
I'm a little more jagged, I think.

1767
02:03:05,860 --> 02:03:08,860
You heard it here first. Jordan, he's a jagged guy.

1768
02:03:08,860 --> 02:03:10,860
A little bit jagged. Jagged.

1769
02:03:11,860 --> 02:03:12,860
Okay.

1770
02:03:20,860 --> 02:03:22,860
I don't know what to make of this one so far.

1771
02:03:24,860 --> 02:03:29,860
Relatively even, but... I'm willing to bet my spike here is not as spiky as yours was.

1772
02:03:29,860 --> 02:03:31,860
You're a little bit above me right now, actually.

1773
02:03:34,860 --> 02:03:37,860
Yeah, see, it's a smaller spike here.

1774
02:03:37,860 --> 02:03:40,860
This is that spike.

1775
02:03:40,860 --> 02:03:41,860
Yeah.

1776
02:03:44,860 --> 02:03:47,860
Is that a good spike or a bad spike? I think I might win this.

1777
02:03:47,860 --> 02:03:50,860
Is that a frame rate or what do we look at here, even? Frame rate.

1778
02:03:50,860 --> 02:03:53,860
Okay. Yeah. I think I might win this.

1779
02:03:53,860 --> 02:03:56,860
You're certainly more consistent. Yeah, NVIDIA isn't full screen.

1780
02:03:56,860 --> 02:03:59,860
Does that matter? It shouldn't matter, but...

1781
02:03:59,860 --> 02:04:00,860
Oh, boy.

1782
02:04:03,860 --> 02:04:05,860
No!

1783
02:04:07,860 --> 02:04:10,860
I have brought shame to my family. I'll restart it.

1784
02:04:10,860 --> 02:04:12,860
Do it in full screen.

1785
02:04:15,860 --> 02:04:19,860
All tighter? That's what I did. Womp, womp.

1786
02:04:20,860 --> 02:04:23,860
Yeah, I don't know. It might just be confusingly added.

1787
02:04:23,860 --> 02:04:26,860
What's the CPU? We're running a 12-gen i5.

1788
02:04:26,860 --> 02:04:28,860
Let's try it again here.

1789
02:04:31,860 --> 02:04:32,860
Settings.

1790
02:04:36,860 --> 02:04:38,860
Presuming you're on that, but who knows?

1791
02:04:40,860 --> 02:04:44,860
Oh, 12,600K. It happens to be in the screen cap right now.

1792
02:04:44,860 --> 02:04:48,860
No, there you go. Our Queen and NVIDIA can't full screen.

1793
02:04:48,860 --> 02:04:52,860
No, no, no. It can, it can. Okay, well, maybe what we'll do is...

1794
02:04:52,860 --> 02:04:55,860
We'll come back to this one. ...let these guys wrap, and then we'll come back

1795
02:04:55,860 --> 02:04:58,860
and we'll revisit the benchmark scores. Or Dan can interrupt us...

1796
02:04:58,860 --> 02:05:01,860
Yeah. ...when Jordan completes.

1797
02:05:01,860 --> 02:05:05,860
And then we'll get a conclusion to this.

1798
02:05:05,860 --> 02:05:08,860
Yep. Okay, how's it buddy?

1799
02:05:08,860 --> 02:05:11,860
Okay, the performance is the same. It's the same as it was before.

1800
02:05:11,860 --> 02:05:14,860
Window doesn't seem to matter as much as it used to.

1801
02:05:15,860 --> 02:05:21,860
Oh yeah, man. Dudelike and Counter-Strike. The latency running in window mode in the old days, yeah.

1802
02:05:21,860 --> 02:05:26,860
I think that's... I'm showing my age too, thinking window mode is worse.

1803
02:05:26,860 --> 02:05:30,860
This is a very cool benchmark. I've never actually run it.

1804
02:05:30,860 --> 02:05:33,860
It hasn't really come up for me.

1805
02:05:33,860 --> 02:05:37,860
It does a really good job of showing a lot of different environments.

1806
02:05:37,860 --> 02:05:40,860
Yep. Lots of characters, lots of different models.

1807
02:05:40,860 --> 02:05:45,860
Yeah, very cool. It's a pretty good looking game for how we'll do this.

1808
02:05:47,860 --> 02:05:51,860
Man, you can pick out a Final Fantasy character from like a thousand miles away, though,

1809
02:05:51,860 --> 02:05:54,860
just from their outfit. Yep.

1810
02:05:55,860 --> 02:05:59,860
Any messages there, Dan? Yeah, I got some rich messages.

1811
02:05:59,860 --> 02:06:03,860
Yeah, hit me. Question for Linus.

1812
02:06:03,860 --> 02:06:07,860
Do you think Intel will be able to keep up with the next couple of generations

1813
02:06:07,860 --> 02:06:10,860
with the same performance increase as this generation,

1814
02:06:10,860 --> 02:06:13,860
or will NVIDIA and AMD outpace them?

1815
02:06:14,860 --> 02:06:20,860
I think everyone is bumping up against the same limitations right now.

1816
02:06:20,860 --> 02:06:23,860
A lot of our performance improvements over the years

1817
02:06:23,860 --> 02:06:26,860
have come from just being able to build smaller transistors

1818
02:06:26,860 --> 02:06:30,860
and pack more of them in, and that's not happening the same way anymore.

1819
02:06:30,860 --> 02:06:33,860
It's always happening. It's happening at an extremely high cost,

1820
02:06:33,860 --> 02:06:36,860
and if Intel gets their fab stuff figured out,

1821
02:06:36,860 --> 02:06:41,860
then they may be able to gain a cost advantage,

1822
02:06:41,860 --> 02:06:46,860
even if it's not a huge technology advantage compared to everyone else who has to pay the TSMC tax.

1823
02:06:46,860 --> 02:06:49,860
But as it is now, if you want to look,

1824
02:06:49,860 --> 02:06:54,860
if you go high enough up the chain for why everything is so flip and expensive,

1825
02:06:54,860 --> 02:06:58,860
you've got to go all the way past NVIDIA to TSMC and ASML,

1826
02:06:58,860 --> 02:07:02,860
who are developing the tools to build these new dies,

1827
02:07:02,860 --> 02:07:08,860
and who are, if the industry Scuttlebutt is to be believed,

1828
02:07:08,860 --> 02:07:13,860
at least a major contributor to the costs

1829
02:07:13,860 --> 02:07:16,860
being much higher for companies like NVIDIA and AMD,

1830
02:07:16,860 --> 02:07:19,860
and right now Intel, because from my understanding,

1831
02:07:19,860 --> 02:07:22,860
and I am 99.9% sure of this,

1832
02:07:22,860 --> 02:07:26,860
but I've made mistakes before, but BattleMage is built on TSMC,

1833
02:07:26,860 --> 02:07:30,860
not in Intel's own fabs. The reason I'm hedging is because

1834
02:07:30,860 --> 02:07:34,860
maybe there's a little sub die or something like that

1835
02:07:34,860 --> 02:07:38,860
that's built by Intel, but I'm pretty sure it's 100% TSMC.

1836
02:07:38,860 --> 02:07:42,860
This is not your score here. 9.3, 17,000.

1837
02:07:42,860 --> 02:07:48,860
So they are impacted by all the same industry forces

1838
02:07:48,860 --> 02:07:52,860
as AMD or NVIDIA are the fabless companies.

1839
02:07:52,860 --> 02:07:55,860
Okay, so that's my score.

1840
02:07:55,860 --> 02:07:59,860
And let's go ahead and move on to our next game. Let's finish up yet.

1841
02:07:59,860 --> 02:08:05,860
Yeah, I guess you guys are not able to do anything for the moment.

1842
02:08:05,860 --> 02:08:10,860
Just give it a minute to finish there. What are we playing here?

1843
02:08:10,860 --> 02:08:14,860
Looks spooky. Left for dead maybe?

1844
02:08:14,860 --> 02:08:18,860
No. Did you just say left for dead? No, not left for dead. Resident Evil.

1845
02:08:18,860 --> 02:08:21,860
Resident Evil 2, here we go. Left for dead, what the hell?

1846
02:08:21,860 --> 02:08:24,860
Okay, where are we at? We're looking at the blue dumpster.

1847
02:08:24,860 --> 02:08:27,860
Okay, we're looking at the car.

1848
02:08:27,860 --> 02:08:30,860
It is indeed a car.

1849
02:08:30,860 --> 02:08:33,860
That is a car. It's very foggy in here.

1850
02:08:33,860 --> 02:08:38,860
That's a fogged up thing to say. No.

1851
02:08:38,860 --> 02:08:42,860
Okay, three. Oh man, this is really close.

1852
02:08:42,860 --> 02:08:45,860
Yeah. Okay.

1853
02:08:45,860 --> 02:08:49,860
Your minimums look a little more consistent, sir.

1854
02:08:49,860 --> 02:08:54,860
You're a little higher on CPU, but your GPU is lower.

1855
02:08:54,860 --> 02:08:57,860
Okay, I'm coming around the back of the car.

1856
02:08:57,860 --> 02:09:03,860
That's one thing that's very consistent is the NVIDIA GPU is always at like 97% or more utilization.

1857
02:09:03,860 --> 02:09:06,860
It's just always being fully utilized.

1858
02:09:06,860 --> 02:09:10,860
I actually don't know what game this is. What is it?

1859
02:09:10,860 --> 02:09:13,860
Resident Evil 2, thank you.

1860
02:09:13,860 --> 02:09:17,860
Oh, I saw a really low dip in your 1% lows there to 120.

1861
02:09:17,860 --> 02:09:20,860
Oh my. I'm not the only one seeing that then.

1862
02:09:20,860 --> 02:09:23,860
Okay. Okay. Pull up the rain here a little bit.

1863
02:09:23,860 --> 02:09:29,860
This really looks like a tie to me, you guys. I think so.

1864
02:09:29,860 --> 02:09:34,860
We've got some people in the chat saying that the rendering on the jacket looks really different.

1865
02:09:34,860 --> 02:09:37,860
I can't say that I agree with that, you guys.

1866
02:09:37,860 --> 02:09:41,860
If you guys hold it still right there, let me just bring up a couple frames.

1867
02:09:41,860 --> 02:09:44,860
This is the B550.

1868
02:09:44,860 --> 02:09:48,860
That looks pretty similar to me. It's the same to me, you guys.

1869
02:09:48,860 --> 02:09:53,860
I can't say that I see a difference there.

1870
02:09:53,860 --> 02:09:56,860
No, I think that might just be... The lighting is the same.

1871
02:09:56,860 --> 02:09:59,860
Oh, someone said it was before one of us stepped out into the rain.

1872
02:09:59,860 --> 02:10:03,860
Oh. Yeah, okay.

1873
02:10:03,860 --> 02:10:08,860
So if we go undercover, does our jacket dry off?

1874
02:10:08,860 --> 02:10:14,860
Yeah, that makes sense. Man, I hated it when this was the strategy for hair.

1875
02:10:14,860 --> 02:10:17,860
Yeah. This just like...

1876
02:10:17,860 --> 02:10:21,860
The clump? No, not the clump.

1877
02:10:21,860 --> 02:10:25,860
This weird noise. Oh.

1878
02:10:25,860 --> 02:10:29,860
Yeah, see in the back here. Yeah, it looks really stupid.

1879
02:10:29,860 --> 02:10:32,860
It looks like a rendering error.

1880
02:10:32,860 --> 02:10:35,860
Really bad transparency artifacting.

1881
02:10:35,860 --> 02:10:39,860
Yeah. And when it's combined with doing the same thing on the shadow.

1882
02:10:39,860 --> 02:10:43,860
To be clear, I'm not blaming ARC for this. No.

1883
02:10:43,860 --> 02:10:46,860
Yeah, that was a yucky time in hair rendering.

1884
02:10:46,860 --> 02:10:49,860
And I'm glad we've moved past it now.

1885
02:10:49,860 --> 02:10:52,860
All right, is that score done? The score is done, yeah.

1886
02:10:52,860 --> 02:10:55,860
All right, let's get over and have a look. Who won?

1887
02:10:55,860 --> 02:10:59,860
Resident Evil. I'm calling this one a tie. Okay.

1888
02:10:59,860 --> 02:11:03,860
Here we go. Whoa, buddy.

1889
02:11:03,860 --> 02:11:07,860
Yeah. Now, do they give us any more detail on this?

1890
02:11:07,860 --> 02:11:11,860
Or is that it? Just a score?

1891
02:11:12,860 --> 02:11:16,860
That appears to be it. Looks like it's just a score.

1892
02:11:16,860 --> 02:11:19,860
Well, that seems like a pretty clear win. I suppose so.

1893
02:11:19,860 --> 02:11:22,860
So that's it. Okay. All right.

1894
02:11:22,860 --> 02:11:27,860
Needs a keen. While they're getting another one started, is there one that you guys would like us to fire up over here?

1895
02:11:27,860 --> 02:11:31,860
Oh, Farming Simulator 22? I don't know which one.

1896
02:11:31,860 --> 02:11:34,860
Oh, we got it. Sorry, NVIDIA won that one?

1897
02:11:34,860 --> 02:11:38,860
Yeah. Okay, well, I can just buy a copy.

1898
02:11:38,860 --> 02:11:42,860
Should I just buy a copy? What?

1899
02:11:42,860 --> 02:11:46,860
Yeah, okay. So purchase.

1900
02:11:46,860 --> 02:11:49,860
Nice. Okay.

1901
02:11:49,860 --> 02:11:52,860
And you zoom in on the credit card here for us.

1902
02:11:52,860 --> 02:11:56,860
$40. That's why we're...

1903
02:11:56,860 --> 02:11:59,860
Just give them a minute to get a green man to get it. We have...

1904
02:11:59,860 --> 02:12:02,860
Green man gave us a gift card. Oh, green man.

1905
02:12:02,860 --> 02:12:05,860
Just give them time. Oh, okay. Let's let them...

1906
02:12:05,860 --> 02:12:09,860
Do a merge message or two. You'll be fine. Okay, Dan, hit me with a merge message.

1907
02:12:09,860 --> 02:12:12,860
Okey-dokey. I'm... Sorry?

1908
02:12:12,860 --> 02:12:15,860
I'm Happy Arc, a 770 gamer.

1909
02:12:15,860 --> 02:12:18,860
Is it worth upgrading to Battle Mage,

1910
02:12:18,860 --> 02:12:21,860
or should I try and wait until Celestial or Druid?

1911
02:12:21,860 --> 02:12:26,860
Well, the thing about Battle Mage is that they didn't do a 700 series GPU.

1912
02:12:26,860 --> 02:12:32,860
They didn't even try to build a top of the line. And maybe that's because when they tried to build a top of the line

1913
02:12:32,860 --> 02:12:36,860
last time around, because Intel's nomenclature, right?

1914
02:12:36,860 --> 02:12:40,860
And then they introduced the i5, i7, and then they introduced 9 later.

1915
02:12:40,860 --> 02:12:44,860
So the idea was that Arc 770 was supposed to be

1916
02:12:44,860 --> 02:12:47,860
not 9, but 7.

1917
02:12:47,860 --> 02:12:50,860
And realistically, it ended up more like 3.

1918
02:12:50,860 --> 02:12:54,860
So this time around, they're aiming at 5

1919
02:12:54,860 --> 02:12:59,860
and ending up a lot closer to low 5, high 3.

1920
02:12:59,860 --> 02:13:05,860
I understand that. I think that if B580 and B570

1921
02:13:05,860 --> 02:13:10,860
were in the same time around, it would be realistic for Celestial

1922
02:13:10,860 --> 02:13:15,860
to come in with a broader range of products.

1923
02:13:15,860 --> 02:13:18,860
I don't think that Intel is going to stop

1924
02:13:18,860 --> 02:13:22,860
their dedicated work on upcoming Arc architectures.

1925
02:13:22,860 --> 02:13:27,860
It's just whether they make their way out of the mobile chips into desktop GPUs

1926
02:13:27,860 --> 02:13:31,860
that could be questionable.

1927
02:13:31,860 --> 02:13:34,860
Everything I've heard seems to indicate

1928
02:13:34,860 --> 02:13:42,860
that they're committed, but you never know, right? Large companies like Intel can just spin off a division.

1929
02:13:42,860 --> 02:13:47,860
And literally the people working on it could find out that the same time that the public does.

1930
02:13:47,860 --> 02:13:52,860
So it's impossible for us to say for sure.

1931
02:13:52,860 --> 02:13:55,860
Got one more, Den? Yep.

1932
02:13:55,860 --> 02:13:59,860
They're coming in now, finally. So Shopify seems to have fixed itself.

1933
02:13:59,860 --> 02:14:04,860
Are you comfortable with how much AI is in the new 50 series?

1934
02:14:04,860 --> 02:14:10,860
Are you even allowed to talk about that, I guess? Yeah, it would be very difficult for me to talk about that.

1935
02:14:10,860 --> 02:14:13,860
I can comment on anything that NVIDIA talked about

1936
02:14:13,860 --> 02:14:19,860
in their keynote at CES. Clearly these cards are designed to run local models.

1937
02:14:19,860 --> 02:14:24,860
They're designed to assist using machine learning,

1938
02:14:24,860 --> 02:14:28,860
tasks like gaming or noise reduction.

1939
02:14:28,860 --> 02:14:31,860
I could speculate that there might be other loads

1940
02:14:31,860 --> 02:14:34,860
that they would assist with, but they haven't talked about anything specific.

1941
02:14:34,860 --> 02:14:37,860
So am I comfortable with it?

1942
02:14:37,860 --> 02:14:45,860
I mean, it's not a question of comfort to me so much.

1943
02:14:45,860 --> 02:14:48,860
It is a question of would I prefer it?

1944
02:14:48,860 --> 02:14:51,860
Like it's kind of like back when Intel

1945
02:14:51,860 --> 02:14:54,860
started putting IGPUs on all of their CPUs.

1946
02:14:54,860 --> 02:14:58,860
And I looked at it and I kind of went, I have a graphics card.

1947
02:14:58,860 --> 02:15:02,860
I don't need the IGPU. I'd rather you just use the extra die area

1948
02:15:02,860 --> 02:15:06,860
to give me another core. And looking back at it now, I was wrong.

1949
02:15:06,860 --> 02:15:14,860
IGPUs were the path forward to assisting CPUs with key tasks.

1950
02:15:14,860 --> 02:15:21,860
They're really convenient for troubleshooting. I'm glad we have IGPUs on both Intel and AMD

1951
02:15:21,860 --> 02:15:25,860
flagship tier CPUs now.

1952
02:15:25,860 --> 02:15:30,860
But it doesn't change that that's how I felt about it. And I can see why a lot of people might look at a product

1953
02:15:30,860 --> 02:15:33,860
like RTX 5090 and go for crying out loud NVIDIA

1954
02:15:33,860 --> 02:15:37,860
if you just didn't have any of this AI crap on it. How many more CUDA cores could you have packed in there?

1955
02:15:37,860 --> 02:15:40,860
And it's a valid question.

1956
02:15:40,860 --> 02:15:47,860
But would 10% or 5% more CUDA cores

1957
02:15:47,860 --> 02:15:50,860
have had the impact on the gaming experience

1958
02:15:50,860 --> 02:15:57,860
that this AI hardware does? Obviously NVIDIA doesn't think so.

1959
02:15:57,860 --> 02:16:01,860
So it's not a question of comfort. It's a question of preference.

1960
02:16:01,860 --> 02:16:06,860
I recognize that more CUDA cores

1961
02:16:06,860 --> 02:16:09,860
wasn't going to get us to a ray traced future.

1962
02:16:09,860 --> 02:16:14,860
I mean, we made a video this recently where we looked at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

1963
02:16:14,860 --> 02:16:17,860
and talked about how RTX on is going to be mandatory

1964
02:16:17,860 --> 02:16:23,860
in some games going forward. Whether I like it or not, it is.

1965
02:16:23,860 --> 02:16:29,860
That is. So I guess I'd rather that my card is ready for the future

1966
02:16:29,860 --> 02:16:32,860
rather than not be ready for the future

1967
02:16:32,860 --> 02:16:36,860
even if that future is not my preferred future.

1968
02:16:49,860 --> 02:16:54,860
Who's sleeping?

1969
02:16:54,860 --> 02:16:57,860
Dan, do you want to hit me with one more?

1970
02:16:57,860 --> 02:17:01,860
Yeah, sure. Love the B570 coverage.

1971
02:17:01,860 --> 02:17:05,860
If it hasn't been done, can you test Guild Wars 2?

1972
02:17:05,860 --> 02:17:10,860
Question for the team. What are your favorite, if any, MMOs?

1973
02:17:10,860 --> 02:17:13,860
I think the only MMO I ever played

1974
02:17:13,860 --> 02:17:21,860
was I played World of Warcraft and I played it for the entire time that was included

1975
02:17:21,860 --> 02:17:25,860
and then I never actually bought a subscription

1976
02:17:25,860 --> 02:17:31,860
and when I say I played it for the entire time that was included, I mean literally the entire time.

1977
02:17:31,860 --> 02:17:34,860
I ate, slept, and played World of Warcraft

1978
02:17:34,860 --> 02:17:38,860
and so I recognized, A, that I didn't want to support

1979
02:17:38,860 --> 02:17:41,860
paying a subscription to play one game

1980
02:17:41,860 --> 02:17:44,860
and that was not something I had a strong interest in

1981
02:17:44,860 --> 02:17:47,860
and B, that this particular game

1982
02:17:47,860 --> 02:17:51,860
was clearly delivering enough content

1983
02:17:51,860 --> 02:17:54,860
that I could easily justify paying for it monthly

1984
02:17:54,860 --> 02:17:58,860
given how much I enjoyed playing it

1985
02:17:58,860 --> 02:18:01,860
but number three, I needed to have a life

1986
02:18:01,860 --> 02:18:04,860
so those were the three things that I sort of recognized

1987
02:18:04,860 --> 02:18:08,860
and ultimately never played World of Warcraft again or another MMO.

1988
02:18:08,860 --> 02:18:13,860
How about you, you ever MMO? I played a lot of WoW until the first expansion then got out.

1989
02:18:13,860 --> 02:18:16,860
Yeah, okay. And lots of Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2.

1990
02:18:16,860 --> 02:18:19,860
Okay, all right. Yeah, those were the main ones.

1991
02:18:19,860 --> 02:18:22,860
Everything other than that, I played Star Wars,

1992
02:18:22,860 --> 02:18:25,860
whatever the current one is when it first came out

1993
02:18:25,860 --> 02:18:29,860
but I got to Endgame in a week and it wasn't even worth it after that.

1994
02:18:29,860 --> 02:18:32,860
Right, okay. The Endgame wasn't good at the time

1995
02:18:32,860 --> 02:18:35,860
and I think it's gotten better now but I haven't gone back.

1996
02:18:35,860 --> 02:18:38,860
And I'm an Eve guy.

1997
02:18:38,860 --> 02:18:41,860
Oh, Eve, of course. I forgot about Eve.

1998
02:18:41,860 --> 02:18:44,860
Of course I'm an Eve guy. Yeah, spreadsheet simulator.

1999
02:18:44,860 --> 02:18:48,860
What are you doing Eve? Oh, I watch movies. What about having another job?

2000
02:18:48,860 --> 02:18:51,860
Yeah.

2001
02:18:51,860 --> 02:18:56,860
Good stuff. I now live in wormhole space.

2002
02:18:56,860 --> 02:19:00,860
Are we doing Guild Wars? I don't know. He asked about it.

2003
02:19:00,860 --> 02:19:03,860
What are they doing over there? Frostpunk?

2004
02:19:03,860 --> 02:19:06,860
Oh, you're doing the first one or the second one? Second one.

2005
02:19:06,860 --> 02:19:10,860
Okay, cool. There's some mixed thoughts on the second one.

2006
02:19:11,860 --> 02:19:15,860
I'm willing to. Yeah, you already...

2007
02:19:15,860 --> 02:19:19,860
What are you guys doing now? Should I close Farm Simulator and should we just play Guild Wars 2?

2008
02:19:21,860 --> 02:19:24,860
I mean... I think it's got to download a bunch if we do.

2009
02:19:25,860 --> 02:19:28,860
It's not a small download if I remember right.

2010
02:19:28,860 --> 02:19:30,860
Hmm, I see.

2011
02:19:31,860 --> 02:19:34,860
Oh yeah. Yeah, that's the whole thing. Yeah, this might be...

2012
02:19:34,860 --> 02:19:37,860
Maybe not. Of course 2 might not be happening.

2013
02:19:37,860 --> 02:19:40,860
I want Frostpunk. L's and G's. They're working on that over there.

2014
02:19:40,860 --> 02:19:43,860
All right. And then your guys are going to come over here

2015
02:19:43,860 --> 02:19:46,860
and get Farm Simulator going? Cool.

2016
02:19:46,860 --> 02:19:50,860
Somebody asked for 25? Oh yeah, this is 22.

2017
02:19:52,860 --> 02:19:56,860
Oh, my shared library. There's a 20's library? Oh, that's probably me stealing it as you open it.

2018
02:19:56,860 --> 02:20:00,860
Way to go. All right, I'm going to check.

2019
02:20:00,860 --> 02:20:05,860
Want to hit me with another merge message? Sure. Should we do a handful more and then call it though, guys?

2020
02:20:05,860 --> 02:20:08,860
Yeah, we're good to go until 3 is what we've been told. We've got about a half hour left.

2021
02:20:08,860 --> 02:20:11,860
Okay. Oh, great. Okay, sure.

2022
02:20:11,860 --> 02:20:16,860
Is there anything that LMG has sacrificed when you started focusing on the Labs?

2023
02:20:16,860 --> 02:20:22,860
Given the difficulties on getting the Labs up and running, what would you do differently if you can go back in time?

2024
02:20:22,860 --> 02:20:25,860
Well, there's no way I can discuss everything that I would do differently.

2025
02:20:25,860 --> 02:20:34,860
But I will say that it was clear that we needed a stronger direction

2026
02:20:34,860 --> 02:20:39,860
in terms of deciding on which verticals we were going to master

2027
02:20:39,860 --> 02:20:44,860
before trying to move on to start to figure out something else.

2028
02:20:44,860 --> 02:20:49,860
And I think my manner of project management works really well for me.

2029
02:20:49,860 --> 02:20:52,860
Like back when I was the main writer of everything,

2030
02:20:52,860 --> 02:20:59,860
I would have easily 20, 25, 30 projects on the go at a given time.

2031
02:20:59,860 --> 02:21:02,860
And the reason is because I had to.

2032
02:21:02,860 --> 02:21:05,860
Otherwise, nothing longer term would ever get done.

2033
02:21:05,860 --> 02:21:09,860
Like if I was only focused on my next five projects,

2034
02:21:09,860 --> 02:21:13,860
I would have absolutely no hope of project six getting done

2035
02:21:13,860 --> 02:21:17,860
because I would finish project five and I'd go, okay,

2036
02:21:17,860 --> 02:21:24,860
I'm ready to start working on project six. I need to source a weird cooler.

2037
02:21:24,860 --> 02:21:27,860
I guess, well, what? I'd wait two weeks for it to arrive?

2038
02:21:27,860 --> 02:21:30,860
No. No, I need to be working on project six.

2039
02:21:30,860 --> 02:21:33,860
Ages ago, so that I have the parts in hand

2040
02:21:33,860 --> 02:21:36,860
so that I can form some first impressions

2041
02:21:36,860 --> 02:21:39,860
and then put it aside again and finish today's shoot

2042
02:21:39,860 --> 02:21:45,860
and then come back to it. I am very much a balls man, you know?

2043
02:21:45,860 --> 02:21:48,860
Juggling balls, keeping them in the hand.

2044
02:21:48,860 --> 02:21:51,860
We're doing phrasing? Five or six.

2045
02:21:51,860 --> 02:21:55,860
And that works really well for me. And so, you know, when I look at something like Labs,

2046
02:21:55,860 --> 02:21:58,860
I go, okay, well, you know, for this particular vertical,

2047
02:21:58,860 --> 02:22:01,860
there's a six month lead time on a power supply tester.

2048
02:22:01,860 --> 02:22:05,860
So order it now, you know, figure out what we need.

2049
02:22:05,860 --> 02:22:08,860
And then while we're instead of sitting there for six months,

2050
02:22:08,860 --> 02:22:16,860
we can like work on other things. And that was something that I think didn't work.

2051
02:22:16,860 --> 02:22:19,860
And there's a number of reasons that it didn't work.

2052
02:22:19,860 --> 02:22:22,860
And one of the reasons is that just plain,

2053
02:22:22,860 --> 02:22:26,860
just doesn't work for a lot of people.

2054
02:22:27,860 --> 02:22:31,860
And for a lot of goals,

2055
02:22:31,860 --> 02:22:35,860
not every goal can be kind of broken out that way.

2056
02:22:35,860 --> 02:22:40,860
And I wasn't the one running the lab, so I don't know, I couldn't tell you with 100% certainty

2057
02:22:40,860 --> 02:22:43,860
exactly what challenges they faced

2058
02:22:43,860 --> 02:22:49,860
and, you know, why certain things worked or didn't. But what I can say for sure is that trying to go so broad

2059
02:22:49,860 --> 02:22:54,860
at so many verticals right out of the gate didn't work.

2060
02:22:54,860 --> 02:22:58,860
And we're figuring it out. All right, our system's ready over there.

2061
02:22:58,860 --> 02:22:59,860
I think so.

2062
02:23:02,860 --> 02:23:04,860
Here we go.

2063
02:23:07,860 --> 02:23:10,860
Frostpunk 2. Have you guys played this yet?

2064
02:23:10,860 --> 02:23:13,860
Oh, no. I played the first one.

2065
02:23:13,860 --> 02:23:21,860
This one is quite contentious because people are expecting the first one and it is not the first one.

2066
02:23:21,860 --> 02:23:25,860
What am I looking at here?

2067
02:23:25,860 --> 02:23:30,860
What is this? You're basically like managing kind of like heat and power

2068
02:23:30,860 --> 02:23:32,860
and everything.

2069
02:23:34,860 --> 02:23:37,860
Trying not to kill all your dudes.

2070
02:23:37,860 --> 02:23:42,860
Managing heat and power. Okay, so make sure your generator's on

2071
02:23:42,860 --> 02:23:45,860
and then start some frost breaking. Turn generators on.

2072
02:23:45,860 --> 02:23:50,860
Okay, well my generator is on, so let's do some frost breaking.

2073
02:23:50,860 --> 02:23:53,860
Good, I guess. Do some frost and what? Frost breaking.

2074
02:23:53,860 --> 02:23:57,860
Frost breaking. I think you have to build it down in the bottom menu.

2075
02:23:57,860 --> 02:24:00,860
Okay, construct districts.

2076
02:24:00,860 --> 02:24:03,860
How about a logistics district?

2077
02:24:03,860 --> 02:24:07,860
How about here? No, I need 20 heat.

2078
02:24:07,860 --> 02:24:12,860
I need it near a generator. Wow, this really seems like the kind of game

2079
02:24:12,860 --> 02:24:16,860
that needs a manual or a tutorial. That I'm sure exists.

2080
02:24:16,860 --> 02:24:19,860
I just haven't viewed it.

2081
02:24:20,860 --> 02:24:24,860
Okay, here's how we move around. Okay, cool. Well, I'm not going to bother building anything.

2082
02:24:24,860 --> 02:24:27,860
Instead, what I'm going to do is I'm going to play around with the camera.

2083
02:24:27,860 --> 02:24:30,860
I'm going to move it around a little bit. Let's get in real close to our... Whoa!

2084
02:24:30,860 --> 02:24:33,860
Boy, we can really get in close. Okay. Hey, how about your view of the...

2085
02:24:33,860 --> 02:24:38,860
Hey, look at that. We're both on the Christmas tree. I'm getting creamed.

2086
02:24:38,860 --> 02:24:41,860
Crushing it even. Oh. Not by that much.

2087
02:24:41,860 --> 02:24:44,860
Well, my minimum's recovered. They were at like 12. Oh.

2088
02:24:44,860 --> 02:24:47,860
Yeah. And yours are at 20 now. Yours are at 11.

2089
02:24:47,860 --> 02:24:50,860
Okay, what's going on here? My view, though. Yeah.

2090
02:24:50,860 --> 02:24:53,860
Why is your CPU usage so high? I don't know.

2091
02:24:53,860 --> 02:24:57,860
My GPU is nothing. What? I can't be right.

2092
02:24:57,860 --> 02:25:01,860
That looks bugged. I would say so.

2093
02:25:01,860 --> 02:25:06,860
Okay. So we're coming out to the city level view.

2094
02:25:06,860 --> 02:25:09,860
Oh, is your generator not running? No, it's on.

2095
02:25:09,860 --> 02:25:12,860
Oh. Well, I don't know. It looks like it's on.

2096
02:25:12,860 --> 02:25:15,860
Well, I turned it off. Oops. Way to go, Jordan.

2097
02:25:15,860 --> 02:25:19,860
Okay. Okay. So 50, 55.

2098
02:25:19,860 --> 02:25:25,860
Oh. Wow. This game's really inconsistent on both of them.

2099
02:25:25,860 --> 02:25:28,860
If I had to give the edge to... Hold on.

2100
02:25:28,860 --> 02:25:31,860
Yours are better than me. I'm going to restart frame view real quick here.

2101
02:25:31,860 --> 02:25:34,860
And if you guys also want to freeze your entire population to death,

2102
02:25:34,860 --> 02:25:38,860
you can pick this up on greemangaming.com.

2103
02:25:38,860 --> 02:25:46,860
Thanks, Dan. Turn your generators on.

2104
02:25:46,860 --> 02:25:49,860
What? 1% CPU. There we go.

2105
02:25:49,860 --> 02:25:54,860
Okay. That's more like it.

2106
02:25:54,860 --> 02:25:59,860
If I had to pick a winner, it looks like the slight edge goes to you.

2107
02:25:59,860 --> 02:26:02,860
What about when you pan around? What do your 1% lows look like?

2108
02:26:02,860 --> 02:26:06,860
Because I'm dropping down to like 25. I'm in the 40s.

2109
02:26:06,860 --> 02:26:09,860
60. Give it a little throw-throw, you know?

2110
02:26:09,860 --> 02:26:12,860
Yeah. This is looking like an NVIDIA win.

2111
02:26:12,860 --> 02:26:16,860
Yeah. 60 is my low.

2112
02:26:16,860 --> 02:26:19,860
Okay. That's crazy. Yeah.

2113
02:26:19,860 --> 02:26:23,860
I think this is an NVIDIA win.

2114
02:26:23,860 --> 02:26:26,860
CPU's kind of evened out.

2115
02:26:26,860 --> 02:26:33,860
Man, after the review, which we did on the fastest modern CPU, right?

2116
02:26:33,860 --> 02:26:37,860
Yep. Because that's the conventional wisdom, is you want to reduce the potential for the

2117
02:26:37,860 --> 02:26:40,860
GPU to be bottlenecked. Yeah.

2118
02:26:40,860 --> 02:26:44,860
So we're going to work one against the 4060 pretty handily.

2119
02:26:44,860 --> 02:26:47,860
Yeah. Now that we're using a couple of generationals.

2120
02:26:47,860 --> 02:26:54,860
Real world. I5, it is looking neck and naaaan NVIDIA win.

2121
02:26:54,860 --> 02:26:59,860
I think NVIDIA has a slight edge, but the dollar factor is kind of where it gets decided.

2122
02:26:59,860 --> 02:27:03,860
So at the end of the day, this is going to come down to price, which is kind of a cool

2123
02:27:03,860 --> 02:27:08,860
place for it to be because. Actually, there's the VR factor as well.

2124
02:27:08,860 --> 02:27:11,860
I'm not supporting VR at all right now.

2125
02:27:11,860 --> 02:27:15,860
That is. So that's kind of a deal breaker for me. That is a downer.

2126
02:27:15,860 --> 02:27:21,860
That is a mega downer. It isn't a deal breaker for me because my VR machine is separate from my other machine.

2127
02:27:21,860 --> 02:27:27,860
Yeah. That is a, that is definitely what they call a champagne situation.

2128
02:27:27,860 --> 02:27:30,860
You know. Hmm. Yeah.

2129
02:27:30,860 --> 02:27:37,860
And to NVIDIA's credit, one of the things they do really well is support software support

2130
02:27:37,860 --> 02:27:42,860
for their products. I would expect this to get drivers for a very long time.

2131
02:27:42,860 --> 02:27:48,860
I expect it to get, I expect it to operate.

2132
02:27:48,860 --> 02:27:52,860
Not flawlessly, flawlessly is that's a big word, but I expect it to operate relatively

2133
02:27:52,860 --> 02:27:55,860
smoothly for a very, very long time.

2134
02:27:55,860 --> 02:27:59,860
And like it's getting the DLS back ported from 50 series.

2135
02:27:59,860 --> 02:28:06,860
Yep. We'll see how much performance it maybe takes because of that, but yeah.

2136
02:28:06,860 --> 02:28:10,860
It's a tough one. It is tough.

2137
02:28:10,860 --> 02:28:16,860
I want Intel to succeed at this, but there's a few things yet that make it hard to buy.

2138
02:28:16,860 --> 02:28:20,860
Should I mark that down because somebody did ask you to try SteamVR?

2139
02:28:20,860 --> 02:28:23,860
Let's turn it up a little bit. I'm curious.

2140
02:28:23,860 --> 02:28:30,860
Oh, disabled. So what was that, Dan? Should I mark that down as a win for NVIDIA because somebody did ask to try SteamVR?

2141
02:28:30,860 --> 02:28:34,860
We specified at the start we weren't going to VR, so.

2142
02:28:34,860 --> 02:28:38,860
Yeah, but it's definitely an NVIDIA win given that Intel gets a did not finish.

2143
02:28:38,860 --> 02:28:41,860
No, forget it. Okay then. I'm over it.

2144
02:28:41,860 --> 02:28:44,860
All right. So you're calling that for NVIDIA?

2145
02:28:44,860 --> 02:28:47,860
All right, cool. Oh, are we doing Siv?

2146
02:28:47,860 --> 02:28:50,860
Let's go. Are you guys calling this?

2147
02:28:50,860 --> 02:28:54,860
Let's go. Are you guys calling the Frostbunk 2 for NVIDIA?

2148
02:28:54,860 --> 02:28:57,860
I'm calling it for NVIDIA, I think. Yeah.

2149
02:28:57,860 --> 02:29:00,860
Dan, do you want to hit me with a merge message?

2150
02:29:00,860 --> 02:29:07,860
Sure. I still see some benchmarks with the 1080 Ti as comparison card to 3000 and 4000 series,

2151
02:29:07,860 --> 02:29:10,860
but the 2000 series seems to be forgotten.

2152
02:29:10,860 --> 02:29:16,860
Why? The reason is that the 2000 series did not sell especially well.

2153
02:29:17,860 --> 02:29:25,860
So the reason that the 10 series tends to get included is because, at least I'm speaking for us

2154
02:29:25,860 --> 02:29:29,860
and I assume other reviewers are following a similar process at least some of the time,

2155
02:29:29,860 --> 02:29:36,860
one of the, okay, there are a number of ways that we determine what to compare against.

2156
02:29:36,860 --> 02:29:42,860
One is equal price in the market, okay, because that's the competition.

2157
02:29:42,860 --> 02:29:50,860
One is previous generation, similarly priced product that someone may be upgrading from.

2158
02:29:50,860 --> 02:29:54,860
Another is personal interest and curiosity.

2159
02:29:54,860 --> 02:30:00,860
So for that reason, we often included ARC in our previous GPU reviews,

2160
02:30:00,860 --> 02:30:05,860
even if it was in a completely different performance class, just because we wanted to kind of see how it was going.

2161
02:30:05,860 --> 02:30:09,860
And then the last one is because it's something that a lot of people have,

2162
02:30:09,860 --> 02:30:12,860
and it's something that they have a good frame of reference for.

2163
02:30:12,860 --> 02:30:17,860
So Jordan has the Steam hardware survey up over here, which is an invaluable tool for us,

2164
02:30:17,860 --> 02:30:24,860
and that shows that for a very, very, very long time, we are going to be including RTX 3060.

2165
02:30:24,860 --> 02:30:27,860
1650 will probably be included for a long time.

2166
02:30:27,860 --> 02:30:33,860
In performance charts, because those are a couple of cards that a lot of people,

2167
02:30:33,860 --> 02:30:37,860
literally 10% of Steam gamers have one of those two cards.

2168
02:30:37,860 --> 02:30:42,860
So if we're looking at something that is even remotely in the same price band,

2169
02:30:42,860 --> 02:30:46,860
those are really relevant comparison cards, even if they aren't the last gen one,

2170
02:30:46,860 --> 02:30:49,860
or even if they aren't at the same price, exactly today.

2171
02:30:49,860 --> 02:30:54,860
All right, let's move over. And when 20 series came out, there was literally no reason to buy one.

2172
02:30:54,860 --> 02:31:00,860
Yeah, there was no content for it. It was a pretty tough sell.

2173
02:31:00,860 --> 02:31:05,860
All right, return to game, here we go.

2174
02:31:05,860 --> 02:31:09,860
Continue.

2175
02:31:09,860 --> 02:31:12,860
Nudisive six. Oh my goodness. Okay.

2176
02:31:12,860 --> 02:31:18,860
All right, we good? We're good. Let's go for a little walk.

2177
02:31:18,860 --> 02:31:21,860
Let's do that. Okay.

2178
02:31:21,860 --> 02:31:25,860
Oh, my settler says that's a good place for a city.

2179
02:31:25,860 --> 02:31:29,860
The advisor. Okay, well, in fairness, I haven't played in a while.

2180
02:31:29,860 --> 02:31:32,860
The advisor is often quite... Drunk?

2181
02:31:32,860 --> 02:31:41,860
Quite mistaken about good places to put a city. You go like two more spaces, and it's awesome with lots of great productivity and stuff

2182
02:31:41,860 --> 02:31:45,860
that you need right at the beginning, and then you don't go two more spaces,

2183
02:31:45,860 --> 02:31:49,860
and they're like, oh yeah, this is a really good place for them.

2184
02:31:49,860 --> 02:31:54,860
Anyway, man, it's such a balancing act at the beginning of the game.

2185
02:31:54,860 --> 02:31:58,860
If you don't start your first city freaking immediately,

2186
02:31:58,860 --> 02:32:02,860
you're kind of boned for all the early ages,

2187
02:32:02,860 --> 02:32:10,860
but if you pick a crappy site for your first city, then you're kind of boned.

2188
02:32:10,860 --> 02:32:13,860
How do I start a... How do I found a city in this one?

2189
02:32:13,860 --> 02:32:17,860
You don't know. Send and find a city.

2190
02:32:17,860 --> 02:32:20,860
Hey, let's go.

2191
02:32:20,860 --> 02:32:24,860
Lundy. How's your performance, Jordan?

2192
02:32:24,860 --> 02:32:28,860
I'm at about 400 frames a second. Me too.

2193
02:32:28,860 --> 02:32:31,860
30% graphics? Or CPU rather?

2194
02:32:31,860 --> 02:32:34,860
I'm a little higher on the CPU... I don't know, quite a bit higher.

2195
02:32:34,860 --> 02:32:39,860
I'm about 10% higher on the CPU usage, and my FPS is nearly identical.

2196
02:32:39,860 --> 02:32:42,860
It looks like this one's going to be another tie,

2197
02:32:42,860 --> 02:32:47,860
but another example of Intel's CPU usage being...

2198
02:32:47,860 --> 02:32:52,860
Just a little bit higher. Measurably higher, which could be more impactful

2199
02:32:52,860 --> 02:32:57,860
if you have an older or a fewer cord CPU.

2200
02:32:57,860 --> 02:33:00,860
Let's make a city.

2201
02:33:01,860 --> 02:33:06,860
Ooh, choose research. Let's go with astrology.

2202
02:33:06,860 --> 02:33:09,860
That seems like the most useful thing for my civilization to have.

2203
02:33:09,860 --> 02:33:12,860
That's your top priority. Let's learn about which...

2204
02:33:12,860 --> 02:33:14,860
At all times.

2205
02:33:17,860 --> 02:33:21,860
Let's learn about which constellation means what.

2206
02:33:21,860 --> 02:33:24,860
Bonuses earned. Yeah, whatever. Next turn.

2207
02:33:24,860 --> 02:33:27,860
Okay. I haven't played Siv in a while. Either.

2208
02:33:27,860 --> 02:33:31,860
Oh, okay. Well, dumb question. Yeah, I heard sevens coming.

2209
02:33:31,860 --> 02:33:35,860
I think the last one I played was four. People are saying not the same map,

2210
02:33:35,860 --> 02:33:39,860
and Jordan is way zoomed out. Okay, let's both zoom way out.

2211
02:33:39,860 --> 02:33:44,860
Okay. And very similar, guys.

2212
02:33:44,860 --> 02:33:48,860
It looks pretty similar. I'll zoom way in on my city.

2213
02:33:48,860 --> 02:33:52,860
Me too. Yeah, guys, this is pretty darn...

2214
02:33:52,860 --> 02:33:55,860
It's not different enough. Pretty darn similar.

2215
02:33:55,860 --> 02:33:58,860
I think in the zoomed in view,

2216
02:33:58,860 --> 02:34:03,860
the edge does go to arc here,

2217
02:34:03,860 --> 02:34:09,860
but zoomed out. They were about the same.

2218
02:34:09,860 --> 02:34:14,860
The wind cover kind of the same amount of space. Yeah, if we were to look for one to have a wind here...

2219
02:34:14,860 --> 02:34:20,860
If you got the wind... It would be arc, but the problem with that is that it's a 20 FPS difference on the 1% lows,

2220
02:34:20,860 --> 02:34:27,860
which at this high of a number is only 6%.

2221
02:34:27,860 --> 02:34:30,860
This is like complaining CSGO is running at 500 frames a second.

2222
02:34:30,860 --> 02:34:33,860
With that said, I mean, with W is a W. 5% is...

2223
02:34:33,860 --> 02:34:37,860
Yeah, you get the wind, but... It's a narrow wind.

2224
02:34:37,860 --> 02:34:40,860
Yeah. Calling it for arc? Sure.

2225
02:34:40,860 --> 02:34:49,860
Yeah, we can call it for arc. We'll throw arc of bone.

2226
02:34:49,860 --> 02:34:52,860
Oh, boy. All right. Hey!

2227
02:34:52,860 --> 02:34:55,860
Baldur's Gate 3, let's go! Okay.

2228
02:34:55,860 --> 02:35:04,860
Playing in DX11, just so you guys know.

2229
02:35:04,860 --> 02:35:07,860
All right, so we're moving around.

2230
02:35:07,860 --> 02:35:10,860
Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

2231
02:35:10,860 --> 02:35:13,860
Uh-oh arc fans.

2232
02:35:13,860 --> 02:35:16,860
Oh, boy. How you doing arc fans?

2233
02:35:16,860 --> 02:35:20,860
Less good than you were before. I'll tell you that much.

2234
02:35:20,860 --> 02:35:23,860
Oh, okay. Oh, okay.

2235
02:35:23,860 --> 02:35:26,860
She had a little moment there when we were switching over to a controller.

2236
02:35:26,860 --> 02:35:30,860
Do you want to use a controller, actually? Not really, but okay.

2237
02:35:30,860 --> 02:35:34,860
All right. What a hater. Why would you play a controller with this game?

2238
02:35:34,860 --> 02:35:39,860
Absolute hater, so that we can just camera follow around our character, Jordan.

2239
02:35:39,860 --> 02:35:42,860
I guess so. Okay, so we're going to the same zoom level?

2240
02:35:42,860 --> 02:35:45,860
Yeah, same zoom level. Here we go. Uh, where are you going?

2241
02:35:45,860 --> 02:35:48,860
You're going through the giant sphincter? Yeah, I did this for Jordan. Or did you already go through?

2242
02:35:48,860 --> 02:35:51,860
Okay, hold on. Wait for me. Wait for me.

2243
02:35:51,860 --> 02:35:54,860
It's the advantage of the keyboard and mouse. You can move better, you know.

2244
02:35:54,860 --> 02:35:58,860
Yeah, I will. Okay, hold on. I'm going to the same spot.

2245
02:35:58,860 --> 02:36:01,860
Oh, boy.

2246
02:36:01,860 --> 02:36:04,860
Okay. Oh, yeah.

2247
02:36:04,860 --> 02:36:07,860
I mean, if we were going to call that one a win for arc. That's fair.

2248
02:36:07,860 --> 02:36:11,860
Then we definitely need to call this one a win for NVIDIA.

2249
02:36:11,860 --> 02:36:16,860
There's no real question.

2250
02:36:16,860 --> 02:36:19,860
Uh-huh. The fire a little bit here.

2251
02:36:19,860 --> 02:36:22,860
It's really not that far off, but it... With some dragons going.

2252
02:36:22,860 --> 02:36:25,860
...isn't the same. Want to try the game in Vulcan?

2253
02:36:25,860 --> 02:36:28,860
Uh, we can try... Yeah, we could try the game in Vulcan.

2254
02:36:28,860 --> 02:36:31,860
Sure. Why don't we give Vulcan a shot?

2255
02:36:31,860 --> 02:36:35,860
Let's try it. So you win DirectX 11.

2256
02:36:35,860 --> 02:36:46,860
Yep. Let's see how arc fares in Vulcan.

2257
02:36:46,860 --> 02:36:50,860
Benergy says arc seems to be running consistently cooler than the 4060.

2258
02:36:50,860 --> 02:36:53,860
Is that just down to the cooler? Yes.

2259
02:36:53,860 --> 02:36:57,860
We have a wimpy little basic MSI. Looks like a Ventus or something.

2260
02:36:57,860 --> 02:37:01,860
Huh. Yes. Ventus 2X for NVIDIA.

2261
02:37:01,860 --> 02:37:04,860
And then we have this beefy Max Sun card for arc.

2262
02:37:04,860 --> 02:37:09,860
We mentioned it earlier in the stream, but it is worth re-mentioning that you should...

2263
02:37:09,860 --> 02:37:12,860
And we're also obviously not in the cases and...

2264
02:37:12,860 --> 02:37:22,860
Yeah. No proper airflow. You should ignore the cooling results for the GPUs.

2265
02:37:22,860 --> 02:37:26,860
All right. I am going to try and launch again. My launcher crashed last time.

2266
02:37:26,860 --> 02:37:30,860
Yeah, mine did too. Oh, really? I heard it didn't launch for me.

2267
02:37:30,860 --> 02:37:33,860
Nice. All right, here we go. Feeders.

2268
02:37:33,860 --> 02:37:39,860
No AMD comparison. The point was arc battle mage.

2269
02:37:39,860 --> 02:37:42,860
How are the drivers? Can you just play any game?

2270
02:37:42,860 --> 02:37:45,860
And the real competitor in the space is NVIDIA.

2271
02:37:45,860 --> 02:37:48,860
NVIDIA is the market leader by a country mile.

2272
02:37:48,860 --> 02:37:55,860
And adding a third system would have added a ton of complexity to a production that was already responsible for...

2273
02:37:55,860 --> 02:37:58,860
This took like two weeks to work already. Yeah.

2274
02:37:58,860 --> 02:38:01,860
And we already know that AMD works.

2275
02:38:01,860 --> 02:38:05,860
Yeah. There's no trust factor there.

2276
02:38:05,860 --> 02:38:10,860
There's no they're going to work. If you want benchmarks, you know, when a new card comes out, we'll like review it in benchmark it.

2277
02:38:10,860 --> 02:38:18,860
But the point to this is more evaluating compatibility, but also just having that NVIDIA card there as a reference point.

2278
02:38:18,860 --> 02:38:22,860
All right, my game managed to launch now. Here we go.

2279
02:38:22,860 --> 02:38:25,860
Shader cache.

2280
02:38:25,860 --> 02:38:30,860
Shader boss wins. All right, I'll wait until it starts here.

2281
02:38:30,860 --> 02:38:33,860
Hey Dan, do we have a big backlog of merge messages?

2282
02:38:33,860 --> 02:38:38,860
Should I be trying to burn through them as we get close to the end of this? Yeah, we've got about 10 minutes left and we have 12 merge messages to go through.

2283
02:38:38,860 --> 02:38:41,860
You want to start hitting me with some? Sure.

2284
02:38:41,860 --> 02:38:44,860
Oh, actually, we already did that one.

2285
02:38:44,860 --> 02:38:49,860
On the wandsweats, I snag the back right pocket and tore the rubber to rubber seal slash glue.

2286
02:38:49,860 --> 02:38:54,860
Can you tell me what process or glue is used originally so I can fix them as close to original as possible?

2287
02:38:54,860 --> 02:39:01,860
That is a wonderful question for our wonderful and talented customer support team at Creator Warehouse.

2288
02:39:01,860 --> 02:39:04,860
You're going to want to go on LTT Store, send a message.

2289
02:39:04,860 --> 02:39:11,860
They are a little bit backlogged from the incredible support you guys showed us during the holiday shopping period this year

2290
02:39:11,860 --> 02:39:16,860
and also the incredible reception that there has been to the commuter bag.

2291
02:39:16,860 --> 02:39:21,860
Reviews are starting to pop up both on LTT Store and on Reddit for the commuter bag.

2292
02:39:21,860 --> 02:39:25,860
People are absolutely flipping, loving this thing.

2293
02:39:25,860 --> 02:39:32,860
I saw it compared to a peak design bag that cost, I believe, about $100 more.

2294
02:39:32,860 --> 02:39:42,860
They compared very favorably. They ended up rating both of them like the same number out of 10 but said that the LTT commuter bag would be their daily driver.

2295
02:39:42,860 --> 02:39:46,860
They thought it was really thoughtfully designed and whatever.

2296
02:39:46,860 --> 02:39:49,860
I'll let you guys go find the reviews.

2297
02:39:49,860 --> 02:39:52,860
Don't take my word for it.

2298
02:39:52,860 --> 02:39:55,860
Anyway, the customer support team is a little behind right now.

2299
02:39:55,860 --> 02:39:58,860
What is the power consumption between the two cards?

2300
02:39:58,860 --> 02:40:03,860
We are not evaluating that today, but I can tell you right now, higher for ARC.

2301
02:40:03,860 --> 02:40:06,860
I'm in the market for a handheld that have no idea where to start.

2302
02:40:06,860 --> 02:40:10,860
Can you give me a rundown on the best handhelds I should consider?

2303
02:40:10,860 --> 02:40:14,860
Hold on a sec. Whoa, buddy!

2304
02:40:14,860 --> 02:40:17,860
Okay, hold on. Whoa, buddy!

2305
02:40:17,860 --> 02:40:20,860
I think this might be a tie. It's close.

2306
02:40:20,860 --> 02:40:24,860
I think it might be a tie now. I think...

2307
02:40:24,860 --> 02:40:28,860
Dude. I think I win Vulcan.

2308
02:40:28,860 --> 02:40:30,860
I think you win DirectX 11.

2309
02:40:32,860 --> 02:40:34,860
Oh, not a tie.

2310
02:40:36,860 --> 02:40:39,860
Maybe not. Okay, let's go through the sphincter.

2311
02:40:49,860 --> 02:40:53,860
Oh boy. No.

2312
02:40:53,860 --> 02:40:56,860
I don't think I can take a win here. This is too close.

2313
02:40:56,860 --> 02:41:00,860
But I think we could call this game a tie and just say, hey, make sure you run ARC on Vulcan.

2314
02:41:00,860 --> 02:41:04,860
Yeah. This looks like a tie to me. Oh, I should have touched lower.

2315
02:41:04,860 --> 02:41:07,860
Oh. Oh, why? Whoa.

2316
02:41:07,860 --> 02:41:10,860
Oh, that was a big stutter. Mind you, it was lifting. Oh, same here.

2317
02:41:10,860 --> 02:41:14,860
Okay. That's fine. I'm willing to call it a tie.

2318
02:41:15,860 --> 02:41:18,860
Then what else? Do we have another one on B? Okay.

2319
02:41:18,860 --> 02:41:21,860
Oh, we do. One more game here. Okay.

2320
02:41:21,860 --> 02:41:24,860
The Zooming Man Stench didn't make much of a difference

2321
02:41:29,860 --> 02:41:32,860
Hello, LMG. I love the cargo pants. Any other colorways planned?

2322
02:41:35,860 --> 02:41:38,860
Yes. We're planning Navy for the cargo pants.

2323
02:41:38,860 --> 02:41:41,860
Sorry, what's that, Andy? You haven't really answered the other ones.

2324
02:41:41,860 --> 02:41:45,860
Oh, yeah. Sorry. What are the good handhelds right now?

2325
02:41:45,860 --> 02:41:49,860
What should they consider? Oh. What game is this?

2326
02:41:49,860 --> 02:41:54,860
Death Stranding. You'd be foolish if you didn't at least consider the Steam Deck

2327
02:41:54,860 --> 02:41:57,860
or Steam Deck OLED.

2328
02:41:57,860 --> 02:42:01,860
It's a really well put together little package.

2329
02:42:01,860 --> 02:42:05,860
And as long as you're willing to accept that not every Windows game

2330
02:42:05,860 --> 02:42:08,860
is going to run, it's great.

2331
02:42:08,860 --> 02:42:11,860
It's such a console-like experience.

2332
02:42:11,860 --> 02:42:14,860
Instant power-on, instant suspend.

2333
02:42:14,860 --> 02:42:18,860
I love the Steam Deck and I love what Valve is doing with Steam OS.

2334
02:42:19,860 --> 02:42:24,860
With that said, there's, when it comes to compatibility,

2335
02:42:24,860 --> 02:42:28,860
Windows is king. And for that, the Ally is a very compelling option.

2336
02:42:28,860 --> 02:42:33,860
I know that Lenovo has some really cool stuff coming over the next little bit.

2337
02:42:33,860 --> 02:42:36,860
I actually, I don't know if the ShortCircuit is up yet,

2338
02:42:36,860 --> 02:42:41,860
but I previewed their upcoming like 8.8 inch,

2339
02:42:41,860 --> 02:42:45,860
like with the new AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme

2340
02:42:45,860 --> 02:42:48,860
and the performance is just awesome.

2341
02:42:48,860 --> 02:42:55,860
And then MSI's Claw 8 AI, whatever,

2342
02:42:55,860 --> 02:43:01,860
the one that we did the sponsored ShortCircuit on. Hey, I mean, that's the whole subject of today's stream.

2343
02:43:01,860 --> 02:43:06,860
Arc has come a long way. It uses Arc graphics in Intel's latest mobile chips

2344
02:43:06,860 --> 02:43:14,860
and it runs pretty well. I haven't side-by-sided it with like an Ally X or anything like that,

2345
02:43:14,860 --> 02:43:21,860
but it looks pretty compelling. And then ASUS is kind of the one to beat in the Windows handheld space right now.

2346
02:43:21,860 --> 02:43:24,860
And the Ally X is pretty killer.

2347
02:43:24,860 --> 02:43:29,860
And then, of course, you know, throwing another wrench into your decision

2348
02:43:29,860 --> 02:43:32,860
is the fact that Nintendo announced the Switch 2 today. Yep.

2349
02:43:32,860 --> 02:43:36,860
You know, gaming handheld. That's not a PC, but it'll be interesting.

2350
02:43:36,860 --> 02:43:39,860
It'll be interesting. It'll be something. Okay.

2351
02:43:39,860 --> 02:43:42,860
You know what else can throw a wrench into your life, Death Stranding on green man gaming.

2352
02:43:42,860 --> 02:43:47,860
Hey. Hey. So I've been about 20 FPS over you the entire time here.

2353
02:43:47,860 --> 02:43:50,860
Okay. And I'm in the water for some reason.

2354
02:43:50,860 --> 02:43:53,860
NVIDIA skill issue. All right.

2355
02:43:53,860 --> 02:43:56,860
So that's it. That's a win for NVIDIA and Death Stranding. I think so.

2356
02:43:56,860 --> 02:43:59,860
Okay. I'll allow it. All right.

2357
02:43:59,860 --> 02:44:03,860
To be clear, both of these cards run this game great. And I think that's a huge part of the story today.

2358
02:44:03,860 --> 02:44:08,860
But if you can get Arc for anything resembling MSRP,

2359
02:44:08,860 --> 02:44:11,860
it doesn't suck now. It's a viable option.

2360
02:44:11,860 --> 02:44:14,860
Absolutely. Absolutely viable option.

2361
02:44:14,860 --> 02:44:18,860
Like, I don't think there's been any game that after today,

2362
02:44:18,860 --> 02:44:21,860
I'm like, man, you really just can't buy an Arc.

2363
02:44:21,860 --> 02:44:24,860
It does work. Everything you try to work.

2364
02:44:24,860 --> 02:44:27,860
Pretty cool. Except ray tracing and control.

2365
02:44:27,860 --> 02:44:30,860
Okay. Yeah. The game still works though.

2366
02:44:30,860 --> 02:44:33,860
But the game worked. You could absolutely play and enjoy the crap out of that game.

2367
02:44:33,860 --> 02:44:36,860
You don't have to have ray tracing to be a gamer.

2368
02:44:36,860 --> 02:44:42,860
Yeah. Man's Tenge brings up a good point in the chat that the

2369
02:44:42,860 --> 02:44:45,860
accessory ecosystem for the various handhelds could be a factor

2370
02:44:45,860 --> 02:44:51,860
in your decision. That's true. Like, again, you know, full disclosure, Dbrand is a long time

2371
02:44:51,860 --> 02:44:56,860
and frequent sponsor of ours. But they have the grip case for both the Steam Deck

2372
02:44:56,860 --> 02:45:00,860
and the Ally series. So that might be a factor.

2373
02:45:00,860 --> 02:45:04,860
It's a really nice case. Oh, there's no game here.

2374
02:45:04,860 --> 02:45:07,860
Are we done? We're done. We're done.

2375
02:45:07,860 --> 02:45:10,860
All right. How many games did we do, Dan? Here, let's go check it.

2376
02:45:10,860 --> 02:45:13,860
We did 31. You're ending your script here.

2377
02:45:13,860 --> 02:45:16,860
Oh, sure. We did 31 games. Well, it's not 50.

2378
02:45:16,860 --> 02:45:19,860
But I think that's more than we did last time. I think so. I think so.

2379
02:45:19,860 --> 02:45:24,860
In this amount of time anyway. And only one of them had a bit of an issue.

2380
02:45:24,860 --> 02:45:27,860
Yeah. Which was NVIDIA Bedrock. Sorry.

2381
02:45:27,860 --> 02:45:30,860
Minecraft Bedrock RTX. All right.

2382
02:45:30,860 --> 02:45:33,860
Frickin' A. Sick. Okay.

2383
02:45:33,860 --> 02:45:39,860
So what's our final tally then, Dan? So our final time, we did 31 games, 15 for Team Green, 10 in a tie, and 6 for Team Blue.

2384
02:45:39,860 --> 02:45:46,860
So that's roughly 48% for Team Green, 20% for Team Blue, and 33% of them were in a tie.

2385
02:45:46,860 --> 02:45:53,860
However, with that said, we are talking straight up performance with absolutely nothing else

2386
02:45:53,860 --> 02:45:58,860
factored in. So if we were to fire up yield, you know.

2387
02:45:58,860 --> 02:46:03,860
Yield new egg? Yield new egg and go RTX 4060.

2388
02:46:03,860 --> 02:46:07,860
I hate that all these cards are called the same thing with all the various amounts of

2389
02:46:07,860 --> 02:46:18,860
VRAM and whatever. For 8 gig. So 8 gig, if we sort by low, oopsie doodles, sort by lowest price would be, oh, is that

2390
02:46:18,860 --> 02:46:21,860
the exact, is that this? That's this. That's that card.

2391
02:46:21,860 --> 02:46:24,860
Okay. So $300 US for this.

2392
02:46:24,860 --> 02:46:27,860
Number one best seller. Yeah, that makes sense.

2393
02:46:27,860 --> 02:46:30,860
And then. Five bucks off right now. Here you go.

2394
02:46:30,860 --> 02:46:37,860
Arc B580. Did you get more around with the arc though?

2395
02:46:37,860 --> 02:46:40,860
Yeah, but. Scroll down for the max someone. Oh, wait, wait.

2396
02:46:40,860 --> 02:46:43,860
Hold on. I'm not sorting by lowest price. Oh.

2397
02:46:43,860 --> 02:46:46,860
Wait. Wait, what?

2398
02:46:46,860 --> 02:46:49,860
Is this an arc?

2399
02:46:49,860 --> 02:46:52,860
Wow. And, oh, out of stock.

2400
02:46:52,860 --> 02:46:55,860
I mean. It's an interesting bundle. That's a very interesting bundle.

2401
02:46:55,860 --> 02:47:03,860
A 750 watt power supply. Is this a, a B580 and a 750 watt power supply would be a great deal if it was in stock.

2402
02:47:03,860 --> 02:47:06,860
What is it? So in theory. Gunner.

2403
02:47:06,860 --> 02:47:13,860
Arc's a great value. In practice today, this looks like a pretty clear win for Team Green.

2404
02:47:13,860 --> 02:47:23,860
Yeah. Today. But Jordan's point about it having way less VRAM literally only 66% as much VRAM as the

2405
02:47:23,860 --> 02:47:29,860
B580 is a potentially more important point for the future than it is today today.

2406
02:47:29,860 --> 02:47:32,860
So that's something for you guys to consider. You should also consider.

2407
02:47:32,860 --> 02:47:35,860
Do we say the price? It's on screen.

2408
02:47:35,860 --> 02:47:39,860
We're not showing it. Oh, is Dan not showing it on screen? Oh, you're on a different lol.

2409
02:47:39,860 --> 02:47:42,860
Oh, okay. Yeah. Dan is doing his own thing over there.

2410
02:47:42,860 --> 02:47:45,860
Yeah, our arc cards are starting at 340 bucks.

2411
02:47:45,860 --> 02:47:49,860
$40 more than the RTX 4060.

2412
02:47:49,860 --> 02:47:52,860
Another thing you should consider is checking out our sponsor.

2413
02:47:52,860 --> 02:47:57,860
Green Man Gaming. Thank you for sponsoring the stream, Green Man.

2414
02:47:57,860 --> 02:48:01,860
You can check them out at the link down below for great deals on highly anticipated titles

2415
02:48:01,860 --> 02:48:08,860
and use code. Oh, we've got a code down below where you can get a free gold XP status.

2416
02:48:08,860 --> 02:48:11,860
Wait, for life? For life. Oh, wow.

2417
02:48:11,860 --> 02:48:14,860
Thanks, Green Man. Yeah. Very cool.

2418
02:48:14,860 --> 02:48:18,860
Very cool, Green Man. You know, I was down in Vegas and I saw all the ads for the Blue Man group.

2419
02:48:18,860 --> 02:48:21,860
It's a little different. They never offered me gold XP. That's true.

2420
02:48:21,860 --> 02:48:24,860
So I'm going to stick with the Green Man. All right.

2421
02:48:24,860 --> 02:48:27,860
Sounds like a good deal.

2422
02:48:27,860 --> 02:48:31,860
How long are you going to stare at Andy here? Until Dan tells me I'm clear.
