Heck, yeah, buddy.
Well, fine then.
Hey, guys.
Oh, no. I saw the title of our ShortCircuit for the B570.
Yeah. Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
It's consistent with pretty much all of the other editorials out there.
Okay. Self-employed in Canada?
I haven't watched anything. Yeah.
Did you see our results at all or no? Nope. Oh, wow.
Okay. Is it not good? It's not as good as it probably needs to be.
Bomber. It's like 12 to 15% off of 580.
The consensus is save the extra 30 bucks and get a 580.
Basically. Okay. So just like the first generation arc.
Yeah. Pretty much. Don't bother with the lower one.
But maybe this one will be cheap because Intel and their partners are going to need like a kicker scale.
No, it's only like 20 bucks less. No, but in time. Oh, but in time.
Yeah. So when there's an aggressive promo, buy Intel Core i5 CPU, get ArcGPU for $100 off or whatever.
This will be the one that they're going to want to like kick. Shovel out the door.
The other take was 580 is really hard to get right now.
So if you wait, get this. Yeah.
Okay. But in terms of like price to performance compared to AMD and NVIDIA, is it okay?
Oh, yeah. It's still pretty good. Oh, it's still solid.
Yeah. Okay. Well, that's great.
It's just not the value.
Okay.
Okay. Are we pre-stream right now? Yes.
Okay. Cool. Okay.
You got chat?
Okay. Oh, right. Right.
Right. I'm looking for chat. Sorry.
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
Sorry. I was just reading the tech news, watching the tech news, checking out our ShortCircuit
on the B570, which I haven't had a chance to watch yet.
I know the camera's around or anything. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Oh, man.
Yeah. Oh.
Poor AMD fanboys. No AMD's frame gen is not as good as NVIDIA's.
Oh, I feel bad for them. And it's like, I want it to be too.
I would love that.
That would be cool.
Okay. It's not. Cool.
Hey. Thanks. I appreciate you.
I'll talk about it a lot more on WAN Show, because that's more the forum for it.
But yeah, it was a lot of fun.
And yeah, no, I want to focus on battle mage for this stream.
But yeah, it was an absolute blast.
Do we have a... Oh, this could work.
We have a probation area for you there.
Anyway, I've seen somewhere to put my laptop that isn't in the way of my mouse hand.
Okay. Control plus.
Ah, okay.
Cool. So if I'm in this spot, Andy, does that work pretty well for you?
Can I angle this bench a little? It gets the power cable not on my escape key.
So picky. Yeah, I know. I am unreasonable at best.
Yeah, at best. Malicious at worst.
Terrible. Okay. Are we doing this thing?
Let's do it. Have I reviewed the intro for this? Yeah.
Oh. You were there for that. Cool.
Do we have a box? Do we have a battle mage box?
Yes. Nice. What a guy.
Look out. So ready. So ready, this guy.
I'm actually kind of feeling the vibe. You need to be out here to start out.
Absolutely. And then maybe we could take some of our intrepid helpers and they could be like sitting at
that station pretending to be getting the next one ready or something like that.
Pretending. Pretending. Pretending to get it ready.
Acting? Acting!
Acting! And it might not be in the intro, intro.
I'm thinking like maybe after the sponsor read when I'm doing the like, okay.
Here's how it's going to work. We've got two systems with the thing and we've got a whole freaking plan this time.
It's going to be flip and awesome. We've got a whole setup. We've got mural.
mural why am I offline oh what this no this is quick to refresh oh oh I can do
that you can do that I believe you there you go I don't know what to tell you all right cool okay cool got the HDMI matrix we are entering the matrix or at
least our video signals are right where am I supposed to be
yeah you know what Jordan I am right where I want to be right now well that's
good this is gonna be awesome I believe I have faith I am gonna start I'm just
looking at the framing over here let's go let's frame a little tighter I'll bring
this up yeah cool and let's go to my other side yeah yeah yeah yeah that seems
pretty good for like kind of opening opening shot if that works oh no I don't
need that yet I need that over there oh wait over here you're starting the
stream as well oh starting the stream you say yes yeah we do need something over
there for you thank you professor Bessar one sec
yeah I see how many honoraries Sherrod put on his CES badge oh yeah Dr. Professor
mister he didn't even win that somebody else had like 15 30 of them it was so
good it was just doctor doctor doctor professor PhD Gallifrey and says
who the f is professor Bessar you got that from Nick really did you get that
from Nick really the one and only the one and only how dare you how dare you I
don't care if you're a paying customer on Floatplane how dare you I'll put that
one there latter can go over there oh oh oh brilliant oh thanks George he was
solving problems while I wasn't even paying attention to what we're supposed
to be doing what a guy pretty normal that's why I call him Jordan enablement
instead of Jordan block little wordier Jordan facilitator is that better all
right we'll go with that yeah enablement kind of has a negative connotation
Yvonne's my enabler you're more of a facilitator okay so let's go ahead and
let's go ahead and do this thing are we doing this thing right let's do this
thing oh wow prompter speed very fast yeah okay
ah oh man I okay I'm good I'm pressing go now
it's time I've got my robe I've got my wizard hat that's right folks it's
battle mage day Intel's battle mage b570 GPU is out today making arc even more
affordable even if the general consensus is that you should probably just pay the
little bit of extra for the b580 or should you buy battle mage at all well
the jury's kind of still out on that one so we're doing something special today
we're gonna be taking your game requests to see how arc battle mage stacks up
against the competition outside of our normal gaming test suite now if you just
want the straight-up goods on the b570 the new more value-oriented cards
including some preliminary Labs graphs you can check out the unboxing that came
out earlier today over on ShortCircuit here we're gonna be focused on seeing
how the b580 handles a variety of titles versus the competition variety what
exactly does variety mean we wrote this you have a thing that I I forgot about
that all right we've got more than 400 games pre-load downloaded and over 50
terabytes of hardware space here already filled up from Kyoksia and
Sabrin thanks to those guys and we got a whole bunch of helpers around the room here ready to go and downloading everything that we forgot to download
already guys we are gonna blitz through as many games as possible we're gonna do
so with some help from Reese probationary employee number you know
whichever we've got Justin over there so these guys are gonna be keeping things
running as smoothly as possible in the background our goal is to get through
don't fall I got to find some wood don't go all right 50 games all right with
some help from our sponsor green man gaming for a limited time you can jump
to the top level of green man gaming's XP loyalty program where you'll see
rewards like bigger savings exclusive giveaways and bonus vouchers follow the
link below and enter the voucher code provided to level up to gold XP for
absolutely free all right so here's how this is gonna work we've got two systems
that are loaded up with battlemage b580 cards with the latest drivers and we've
got two systems with RTX 4060s one of each on each table here so Intel arc
RTX 4060 until arc RTX 4060 if you guys have got a game that you want to see
running on battlemage you're gonna want to send a merch message the whole
production today over to producer Dan and let us know what you guys want to see
the way merch messages work is instead of just throwing money at your screen and
hoping for something in return you go to lttstore.com and in the cart there's a
box you leave a merch message it goes to Dan who will reply to it who will pop it
up on the bottom of the screen or who will curate it for Justin who is gonna
be coordinating loading up our systems with as many games as possible now we
are gonna have to limit things a little bit it's gonna be steam games that are
available through our sponsor for the stream green man gaming though there
will be a couple of exceptions to that rule a little bit later there are some
other restrictions too arc doesn't support VR and frankly speaking this was
complicated enough without having to deal with VR headsets okay okay also and
we're not gonna be doing any adult games so the most you're gonna get if you
suggest one of those is a gentle scolding from Dan all right Jordan you're
up all right let's get started we got the cyberpunk 2077 you have a line I do
all right yeah we've got some of the most common requests ready to go let's get
started with cyberpunk and then we'll move on to the ones you guys suggest for
alright fantastic so do I get the arc system or are you on the arc system you're
on arc I'm on NVIDIA okay I get can I lose the hat I guess feels like a bit
much okay cool oh can I have my laptop so that I can monitor chat and stuff
awesome thanks so much wow we've got like a whole production team you have
battery for your laptop now okay I have a confession to make yep I obviously
hosted our review but the Labs team did all of the testing on arc yep I have
never gamed on battle mage yet me neither okay but you still aren't going
to you're still playing on why don't we start by having a look at our settings
real sure so we're running whoa we're running ray traced lighting on ultra
1080 as high as we can kind of thing really okay that's a fascinating approach
and you're running all the same stuff I have same settings as you okay and are
we in the same spot looks like wow the lighting really does look great in this
game when you turn all the stuff oh oh oh wow oh my brain going on these are
really flipping close wow yeah no way now something that we went out of our way
to do is instead of configuring these systems with the latest CPU in order to
alleviate CPU bottlenecks and show the cards in there when they're able to
fully stretch their legs because battle mage has been criticized recently
hardware canucks did some really excellent work and hardware unboxed has
followed up on it for not performing well on older hardware we went out of our
way to choose a platform that we felt was pretty representative of what people
who should be considering a battle mage would actually be running at home so
we're looking at a 12th gen core i5 I think we're running 16 gigs of system
memory is that correct 32 gigs of system memory and then we obviously have big
coolers on our CPUs and everything to ensure that if we're not thermal
throttling or anything like that we also just didn't want to give battle mage an
unfair advantage if one of NVIDIA's key advantages is that they have better
optimized drivers that are lighter on your CPU for instance okay so should we
is there anywhere that we could kind of go to that has a little bit more like
you know crazy ray tracing are we in exactly the same spot where you drive
into I'm following the arrows oh I'm going the wrong way wow I was gonna say
gamer move but then I got stuck no not so much I broke my car oh lordy Jordan
there we go we're better okay where where even are you I have no idea I'm lost
now okay cool well either way what are we looking at here for 10 we're not gonna
look at temperatures too much guys and the reason for that is that these are
not comparably built cards obviously if one of them was thermal throttling in
some way that would be a factor that we'd have to consider but both of them
are comfortably within their operating range with Jordan's at around 68 68 okay
67 that's not gonna do it fine that's fine that's fine there we go Jordan at
just under 70 degrees and me at about 60 degrees CPUs are both working equally
hard actually this is interesting Jordan my CPU is running a little bit
hotter really who built up these benches probationary employee number
whatever would you say no no you don't have to answer on camera or anything but
would you say that you installed them in the exact same way ish there are too
many variables for us to directly compare these like on a lab's graph or
anything like that but what I will say is that being 4 to 5 degrees off you're
running a little faster on your CPU too actually is yeah it is possible although
maybe I slated to this game it is possible that my CPU even though it's not
overwhelmed and obviously my card is ending up performing just fine it's
possible my CPU is working a little harder here right now 53 versus 33%
hmm right so maybe even with the you know it's still smooth for your GPU but
it's doing a little more utilization of that CPU it looks like that might be the
case that's a pattern that I want to keep an eye out for in the future now
should we see if you don't care about ray traced lighting should we turn that off
because honestly I wouldn't play this game at 35 FPS on either of these cards I
would want to turn things down a little bit so why don't we go ray tracing in
general there sure okay so let's go ray tracing off sure let's give it a shot
okay this is more like how I would want to play this game with averages in the
80s and lows that are more like in the 60s this is gonna give you a really nice
smooth playable experience performing a little bit there I am crushing you yeah
dude we're even in pretty much the I think you're like right behind the
right now we are in almost the exact same spot right now I think no not but
we're in a similar enough area that I'm looking at this going yeah when you I'm
like 15 20 first blow you so there's two ways of looking at this you could look
at this as wow NVIDIA's RTX performance really is quite a lot stronger than
Intel's because that's the only thing that we changed we turned off ray tracing
yeah but the other way of looking at it is in a game like this on a card of this
class where realistically you are not getting a 60 FPS gaming experience with
ray tracing on unless you enable frame gen all right we would have moved on to
game all right yeah sure all right yeah right right got my comments got my
comments which I'm not even monitoring guys all right we got destiny to here
so for whatever reason the frame view doesn't like this so we have just our
little tiny frame counter but okay sure oh is that just the steam overlay yeah
okay the game game one oh sure sure sure sure sure sure you should be in the
same spot here I never use the steam overlay so I never know what it is
supposed to look like so anytime I see it I'm like it looks very similar to this one okay this is 170 ish wow these seem very similar but almost to the point
where I feel like we're missing out on some graphical fidelity here yeah I don't
think well do you need this game to run at 150 to 200 FPS no you personally can
we stay outside actually sure yeah I'd rather stay outside okay here let's go
to the door let's both come out of the door at the same time and just walk in a straight line all right okay cool you guys you guys enjoying this so far
because I'm actually kind of I gotta say mm-hmm after doing this the first time
with arc alchemist yeah this is already exceeding my sort of what would have been
my expectations then and I I know we've shouted out until numerous times
actually over the last couple of years for the work that their software team
and you can't build great software on a crappy hardware platform obviously you
could try you can do your best with it but like so obviously the hardware guys
are they're putting in their work right but we've given props to their software
team for the improvements that they have made because not just was the
performance subpar when they launched alchemist yeah but the experience was
subpar whereas I'm looking at this and I'm going this renders no worse for being
on arc than that does for being on you wouldn't know you just jump in the game
you wouldn't know no I and in fact I bet we could switch system right now and I
would not notice a material difference in a side-by-side do you notice a
material difference Jordan going from this system to that not at all but part
of that is that we're we're well over 150 FPS both of us okay let's do the door
test let's do the door test okay so just walking okay so we're right at the edge
of the door yep okay here we go we just walk point your crosshair right at the
at the tree trunk there all right okay okay so we just walk and let's watch the
FPS three two one go 170 it is ever ever so slightly hair better I was gonna
say I think yours is ever so slightly ahead boy are they ever close I want to
see a little oh I think your monitor is better oh we don't have our CPU monitor
because not in this one okay shoot we'll have lots of games to check that yeah
yeah we're gonna keep an eye on that on an ongoing basis you know what I want to
do is I want to change our settings a little bit alright I would tune these
down a little bit and target more like a hundred FPS so could we do 1440p in
this game try I think it's worth a shot oh it's it this is a monitor is the
matrix is set to 10 you sort of lock it to that got it we are focused on 1080p
gaming because realistically b480 b480 b580 and and the 4060 are 1080p high 1440p
medium cards when it comes to like modern triple-a games why don't we knock this
down from highest to high as our graphics quality no I wanted to turn it up oh
you want to go up yeah cuz we're like 200 FPS so I mean one way or another I
think the bottom line here if we can't change our resolution which is a little
unfortunate oh can we can we change our render scale does it allow you to scale
it up I don't know render resolution boom got him okay so go to like 150 that
should be a 1440p ish 150 yep okay and fun fact by the way NVIDIA watch this
with ten series or nine series I think it was with nine series rendering at a
higher resolution even though you're outputting at your original it does actually yield a slight increase in in visual fidelity all right yes I'm right
around a hundred okay so we're in the water here so we go to around 1440p I'm
beating you imagine imagine a world Jordan if you will in a world having more
VRAM yes matters wow can you imagine it yes well you don't have to it's good
it's a good skill you have but you really don't have to do that because it's right here all right so we were neck and neck at 1080p and realistically we still
are but it looks like arc gets the slight edge because I don't think I've seen a
dip below a hundred and I've seen you dip below a hundred several hundred
times huh look at that would you oh interesting oh I've got another 80 there
for a second chewy's in the chat he says interestingly the game looks a lot
better on the stream now thanks to the super resolution really yeah
interesting garbage in garbage out I guess so ungarbage in ungarbage out it
looks like they've cleared our next system we ready for next game let's go all right let's move over I don't actually know oh Marvel rivals let's do it I
haven't played I have never played this game should we pick the same hero all
right I feel like we should pick the same here I've got Dr. Strange over here all right let's go with Dr. Strange confirm I assume this is a controller
game maybe oh I assume my control hey look at that okay keyboard most works as
well though is v-sync on I think my v-sync might be on let's double check
our video settings but oh I've got FSR on and stuff too okay let's let's go
through okay so off scaling a hundred mm-hmm mm-hmm limit FPS off v-sync my
v-sync off okay good and then I'm set to high yep okay apply okay good it's good
that we validate these things because you never know okay so let's let's walk
through the screen portal here all right I'm going for it so I'm at around good
Lord are these ever close in performance this is surprising my lows are dipping
lower than yours though even though our averages are very very similar are we
going for CPU over there oh good question I'm hovering in the 30 to 35%
range and I'm sitting at about 50 degrees 46 degrees 34% okay percent
fly or anything but you are very clearly outperforming me in this game even if
it isn't a difference that you'd be likely to notice in daily use yeah anytime
we're looking at 10% better performance it's one of those things I remember
having these arguments like years and years ago and I say argument but really
it was more I never understood why it was an argument because people would go
on the forum or whatever on NCIX forum because that's where I did a lot of my
tech discussion back in the day and they'd be like I don't care the difference
between 4 FPS here or there I like Intel better yeah I would look at that and I
would go right but 4 FPS in this case where one of them is running at 40 FPS
and one of them is running at 36 that's a bigger difference than like a hundred
and some 4 FPS is 10% yeah in what other area of your life would you say yes
please daddy give me 10% less for the same amount of money yeah and and it was
something that I that I just never really understood so even though I fully
grasp the the perspective that realistically you could buy either
of these things and have a perfectly adequate acceptable gaming experience
like this is this is running great if I was a kid and I was running at 70 FPS in
my one percent lows like 90 averages I would have been happier than a pig in
slop right this price but if what I care about is making wise purchasing
decisions and getting the most for my money if all I play is Marvel rivals
I'm buying the NVIDIA card why is that because it's a little bit faster and why
shouldn't I get more for my money but remember I just say more money for this
oh oh that's right a lot more you're not getting more for your money sorry let me
correct that previous statement because I did not address the money part of it all other things being equal I would take the NVIDIA card that performs a
little bit better however the conversation around pricing for Arc B580 has
gotten a little bit complicated because as much as the MSRP might be $250
editors know go ahead and throw some confetti not rely rely I know I'm just
kidding as much as the plot as much as it might be $250 which is a really
exciting price point for this kind of performance in practice the supply is so
constricted right now that nobody is actually seeing them for that price
maybe 570 will help that well I really I really hope so but it's one of those
things where I don't know that I'm convinced that the problem is that they
can't get a high enough yield of 580 I think the problem is more that if I was
an Intel business monster yeah would I have looked at Arc Alchemist and gone
let's produce a ton of the second-gen right at launch probably not probably not
and I don't even blame them for that that makes sense no that's just smart
business call really that's just being not a giant idiot yeah right so let's
move over to our to our other systems well I kind of finished this thought so
it's pretty it's pretty clear that a big part of the supply constraint is just
down to Arc Alchemist being kind of a dud and not having enough confidence to
make a whack of these things right out of the gate wow you have a lot better
framing already here yeah get rekt so we're on crisis remastered here oh sick
of course we are I've got a turtle though I've got a turtle that's one of
the framers so bad is this it don't make me find a turtle oh damn turtle all
right you just got turdled son is this was this something that was suggested
or are we still on our pre canned ones we're still on our pre-canned ones okay
all right now when are we switching over from the ones that we had pre-prepped
whenever these boys want to do that got it okay Dan do you have any merge
messages that are not game requests are they just all game requests don't have
what what is it not working I think it's working it should be working I did
test it oh we did get one apparently oh did people did I do it so early in the
stream that people didn't hear it I don't know oh oh that makes sense because
almost nobody would be watching a stream right at the beginning okay so merge
messages if you're new to the channel are the way to interact with our streams
all you got to do is head over to LTT Store the reason that we do it through
the store is that as much as we know that people love just throwing money at
their screens we feel like if you throw money at your screen you should get some high quality merchandise in return so head over to the store head to the cart
whenever we're live you'll see a box that allows you to send a merge message to
producer Dan okay there you go who will pop it up on the screen reply to it
himself or curate it for our team to take your requests for games that we're
playing you can also send in discussion questions and stuff like that but our
focus today is gaming on battle mage versus rtx 4060 and testing as many
games as we possibly can which on that note means I should probably get my
butt back over here and play some crisis remastered
more like crush some crisis remastered because dude
arc is destroying me here and what's funny about this to me
is one of the big bug bears of alchemist first-gen arc
was older games yeah newer games it was quite competitive
but as soon as you got back to direct x9 things were not looking so good
now crisis remastered is that I forget is crisis dx9 or 10 I'm not sure what
version this is bar cry was dx9 it okay I bet it's in the settings
actually we should love why don't we double check our settings what are we what are we even running out here uh buh buh buh buh oh shoot audio video
settings there we go graphics so 1080p that's what we're that's what we're
focused on v sync off okay everything high there's not a lot of settings in
your other real advanced um Dan yeah can you do me a quick favor and
check if crisis remastered is dx9 or 10 I want to
say 10 I want to say 10 I wouldn't bet against you
but I'm not certain
oh c for crouch sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I don't know I'm with you
I'm old school I'm old school yeah so is this game though what's going on
yeah exactly right okay so we at the part where we thought oh dude you're
way past me you were messing around over there Jordan over here actually
gaming you got serious work to do over here now
one thing I am noticing is way too dark for me to see where I'm going check this
out um there we go yeah pause pause for a second check this out okay so when I when I fought the first guy
yeah damn it Jordan I'm getting shot this is the problem
this is the problem when your whole team their job is to test gaming
but if they were at home what they would be doing is gaming anyway
and uh I'm guilty of it more than almost anyone else
the way these guys have to drag me away from the test systems on set sometimes
hilarious sometimes look buddy look okay so check this out
look how big the disparity is between my averages
oh yours too sometimes yeah I wonder if that's just
older not as great optimized game because I didn't see any of those dips down
to like 60 FPS on yours but there's one right now dropping
all the way down to be clear 1% lows around the 60
45 FPS range you know about 16 milliseconds
that's not going to feel not smooth it's not going to feel like a hitch
or anything no it's still great but you do want to see when you're
averaging 120 150 FPS you would want to see your lows more like 80 90
for really smooth frame delivery I believe is
dx 10 dx 10 okay the console ones whose cry engine three which I think would
support higher levels but it's very strange okay
sick I'm averaging 100 in this it's crazy yeah no I'm
this is a this is a clear win for arc battle age
which then regardless of pricing means I would go for the b580
yeah are we keeping a tally oh what a guy okay yes
what tally of winners yes no
what is he telling me what a guy we've done we've done four yeah we've done four
cyberpunk was about a tie I think that's fair to say
I mean when when we turned off ray tracing it was a clear win for arc but
destiny was pretty close to I think let's call it two ties
for cyber truck cyber truck cyber truck dude have you seen the
couple local ones yes yeah I parked next to one the other day
and it's just hideous anyway um okay so those two were ties
I think Marvel arrivals was a pretty clear win for NVIDIA I think so
and then crisis three remat or crisis remastered
looks like a pretty clear win for arc definitely yeah okay
thanks Dan do you guys have the other games I put on the list
I don't know are we ready for another one yeah let's move on to our next one let's go hold on I need to fight this guy oh no he's my ally all right
cool yeah he could you get more laptops right
if only you had those in stock somewhere I haven't even looked at chat yet I
have no idea if you guys are enjoying this google signed me out so
great I can't even look at the youtube dashboard
it's all for time Jordan go all right let's see we got apex legends here
I got the confetti working as well we have confetti what what
yeah you wanted confetti go for it I want confetti oh hell yeah
give me confetti oh that's a little yeah you can I think
I think we can working is a strong term there Dan it's good enough
that felt like you jiggling a mess around uh no it was uh no
all right let's somebody's busy over here
let's just get to the same spot thank you thank you
ooh apex legends like dead even what's going on here
how are these so close the frame is not changing
oh there we go a little bit okay wow that is they are dead even
impressively stable are we gonna sink somehow you won't hear me say this
often but good job EA yeah okay settings for fine
like that is that is what you want wow in a competitive title
really consistent solid smooth frame delivery
and it really is solid wow let's go get some guns I should have a gun yeah
that would probably be this easier okay what what are you picking up
let's go with this guy the longbow dmr I don't play this game
I don't play this game either so I don't grab all the ammo I didn't know how to
find it oh my goodness there's so many was it on the left or the right on the left more next next rock I think oh my goodness
you're following me over there to get the there we go
all right sick so are these 144 hertz monitors do you have v-sync on
uh we don't have v-sync on now I checked already I will double check
just to make sure my v-sync is disabled nope it looks like we just happened to
be here oh my god what seriously
okay there's there's no way it can be that steady that's not possible
you guys just saw me check if v-sync was on you just saw it
the lows are changing constantly but the actually I feel you would want to
144 turn turn v-sync on because it should be locked to
60 otherwise yeah this isn't a thing
okay no way triple buffered okay there v-sync on
no I have to apply oh my god oh the display is running at 60 hertz
okay so no it is not v-sync it just happens to be running at
exactly 144 hertz or 143 that's bonkers no kidding
all right what about CPU usage I can't read it under oh the game force is a
cap oh okay game's capped well that's fine
because our our 1% lows are what we want to look at for a competitive title
anyway and honestly you can uh you can unlock it
with a console command if you want to do that oh yeah those plebs
I think I got the edge on you Jordan yeah 120 to 130
whereas you look like you're in more like the 115 to 120 range
to be clear yeah unless you're some kind of god-level gamer
you're actually better on CPU too hey shroud
you're you're you're not probably going to be able to feel the difference between
dipping down to 110 and dipping down to 120 it's it's it's that's not
realistic that's not like a human level of perception
do you want to try and unlock the frame rate or we can try and unlock it yeah if
it's if it's a simple if it's a simple console command
if I don't have to do some rigmarole to unlock the console
like is it is it in gameplay the whole idea today is we want to get through a
ton of stuff so it's got to be a launch option a launch up no no launch options the the the game launching is handled by our
intrepid team of of supporting players here
I'm going to analyze and I'm stuck in a hole okay what was your CPU usage though
round 32 I'm around high 20s low 30s
huh okay I think you're a little better
I see low to mid 20s every once in a while
actually interesting I'm just kind of I'm just kind of jumping around and
moving around right now too yeah and it's worth noting that in a
competitive match you might see a little bit of a difference
the problem is that it's darn near impossible
for us to evaluate these against each other
in a competitive match in a way that is even remotely repeatable
temperature was about like 47 you're actually running a little hotter
and your CPU does seem to be cooking a little harder is this maximum graphics
can you bump it up interesting yeah we can we could bump up the
graphics maybe um
adaptive resolution target
oh yeah I don't think that's doing anything anyway because we're at like
144 whatever uh texture streaming I mean everything's
cranked yeah so I don't think I don't think there's really anything we could do we could no this one doesn't have a higher
rendering mode that's fine it is what it is I think
I'm willing to call this one a win based on what I've seen Mark yep yep I think this is a win for Linus
narrow win and a win for gamers win for gamers
win for Canada all right uh Dan do you have any
merch messages to hit us with or do you have any really fun games that we can tease that are going to be coming up uh from people's suggestions we're trying
to get wu kong and monster hunter world iceborn
ooh they wanted one monster hunter wilds and I got excited but it's unreleased
all right that sounds great yeah it's a little hard to play unreleased stuff
I know guys try to gain close no are you pretty close over there Reese
okay we're close all right Dan do you want to hit me with a merge message then
really everyone's just sending in game suggestions make something up
I only got two game suggestions all right you can send in uh you can send in
regular merge messages as well all right here we go oh I got distracted
you know what I bet people are doing free foam
I bet people are saving their merge messages for wancho tomorrow
I would I would you know what's launching that's going to be fun
oh dear uh wu kong wasn't on uh green man gaming unfortunately
uh we should do wu kong anyway okay
