WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.640 Warning, the tech you are about to see may shock you if you drag your feet on 00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:12.360 carpet and then touch it. So don't do that. NVIDIA's frame generation 00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:15.480 and AMD's rival fluid motion frame 00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:17.200 technology have been used simultaneously 00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:21.760 to achieve up to three times the performance compared to gaming at native 00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:27.640 resolution, or so claims South Korean tech outlet Quasar Zone. Team Red and 00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:33.640 Green working together? It's unnatural, but also festive. It's December 1st. It 00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:35.320 jingles my bells. That 3x boost in 00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:40.560 average frame rate was observed in Cyberpunk 2077 at native 4K and ultra 00:00:38.680 --> 00:00:45.120 settings, but impressive uplifts were also seen in Call of Duty and Ratchet & 00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:52.640 Clank: Rift Apart. To pull this off, the Quasar Zone team plugged an RTX 4090 and 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:54.400 an RX 6600 into the same PC, installed 00:00:52.640 --> 00:01:00.440 both of their drivers, then hooked up the primary display to the 6600 while 00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:06.760 the 4090 was set as the primary GPU in Windows. That meant the 4090's post 00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:09.680 frame gen output passed through the 6600 00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:14.840 and got its frames fluidly motioned, which looks like this I imagine. 00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:20.120 Of course, this incredible setup is also horribly impractical since you'd need a 00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:25.520 motherboard with two x16 PCIe slots and enough space for a 4090 plus an 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:30.280 additional GPU and enough juice for both of them. And they're thirsty boys. On 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:35.560 top of that, fluid motion frames is in beta, meaning crashes may occur and the 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:40.120 feature deactivates during fast movement leading to massive frame drops during 00:01:37.800 --> 00:01:45.120 motion, ironically making said motion frames incredibly unfluid. While the 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:51.160 average frame rate was pretty good, the 1% lows either barely increase or 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:53.280 actually decrease. On top of that, both 00:01:51.160 --> 00:01:58.520 frame generating solutions can introduce visual artifacts and increase input lag. 00:01:56.600 --> 00:02:04.000 So if you try this at home, you'll be spending a lot of time and money to 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.600 potentially make yourself sick. But hey, 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:09.640 that's what being a gamer is all about. Right. 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:14.640 Earlier this week, Elon Musk hosted Tesla's Cybertruck delivery presentation 00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:18.960 where he let 10 lucky customers drive away in the newly launched vehicle while 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:22.720 taking a delightful break from letting himself drive away Twitter's 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:27.600 advertisers. Got him. Despite Musk promising the event will be the biggest 00:02:24.880 --> 00:02:33.120 product launch by far on Earth this year, wow, many Cybertruck enthusiasts 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:34.640 found the event, quote, cringe and not 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:39.960 just because they decided to repeat 2019's infamous metal ball window demo 00:02:37.600 --> 00:02:43.960 with a half-hearted baseball pitch. The spirit of it was intact. As of now, two 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:48.360 versions of the finalized Cybertruck are currently available, a dual motor 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:52.160 configuration for $80,000 and a tri-motor performance variant for 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:56.560 $100,000. Any mathematicians in the audience may 00:02:54.240 --> 00:03:01.560 surmise that neither of those numbers are equal to the promised $40,000 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:05.440 starting price back in 2019. Hey, wait a second. And it's not just a price 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:09.200 difference either. Both the total carry weight and the mileage range of the 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:13.960 Cybertruck are noticeably lower than what was originally advertised, leading 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:18.120 many to reconsider buying the EV. Though to be fair to Tesla, there is a range 00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:22.800 extender option for the Cybertruck and all it will cost you other than the 00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:26.600 additional cost is more of the truck's carry weight and about half of the 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:29.560 available bed space. But why would you need either of those things in a pickup 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:35.760 truck? It's just to look cool. And NVIDIA is rumored to be launching a new 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:38.960 GPU in China called the RTX 4090 D that 00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:41.000 complies with the US's Chinese export 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:46.240 policies. Apparently, the reason the 4090 non-D isn't allowed in China is due 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:52.240 to its total processing performance or TBP being rated above 4800 trillions of 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:57.360 operations per second, also known as a lot. To account for this, leaks suggest 00:03:54.600 --> 00:04:03.240 the D will use an AD102-250 GPU rather than the AD102-300 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:05.200 on the original non-D. That's my rapper name. 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:10.040 Blender. vanilla swirl. Given that back in March, 00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:13.480 NVIDIA changed the 4090's die to an AD102-301, 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:19.280 which has a slightly lower voltage maximum, going from 300 to 250 probably 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:23.120 represents a big change. While we don't yet know for sure, it's possible that 00:04:21.239 --> 00:04:26.560 not only will the CUDA core performance be affected, but the Tensor core 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:30.160 performance will be as well if the change is this significant. This would 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:34.120 make sense since Tensor cores affect the card's AI capabilities and AI 00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:38.000 performance is a major factor in these export restrictions. Another unknown is 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:42.280 how the card will compare to the 4080 Super that is rumored to come out in 00:04:39.640 --> 00:04:46.520 January. What we do know is that however much the 4090 D costs, it'll be too 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:49.400 much. Got him again. Just want to play some games, NVIDIA. 00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:54.920 Now it's time for quick bits brought to you by iFixit.

Check out the sale at the link below and 00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:19.360 use code FREESHIP for free shipping. Warning, it does not give you a free 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:24.160 ship. We have to say that legally. It was the best of times, it was the 00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:27.160 quickest of times. Charles Dickens said that once. And now 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:31.280 it's quick bit time. Google's Threat Analysis Group has 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:36.920 discovered several massive and actively exploited vulnerabilities in Chrome and 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.920 Apple's WebKit in a 48-hour span. 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:42.560 They're working hard. On Thursday, Apple patched the flaws in WebKit, one that 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:46.200 allowed hackers to access sensitive information and another that could make 00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:50.640 vulnerable devices execute malicious code. Google patched seven Chrome 00:05:48.440 --> 00:05:54.520 vulnerabilities back on Tuesday, one of which already had exploits available in 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:57.920 the wild, though the company said nothing else about it. It's probably for 00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:01.480 the best since Google doesn't want to help someone else get access to your 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:04.640 private information. They don't need the competition. That's for their special 00:06:03.080 --> 00:06:09.560 information box that they keep under their bed. The ROG Ally just got way 00:06:07.640 --> 00:06:14.240 better according to the newest episode of the official ROG podcast, a thing I 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:19.360 just learned exists. According to that pod, the Ally now has gyroscope support 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:23.000 and control customization options, allowing you to individually adjust the 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:26.720 sensitivity of each joystick. There's also control calibration options so you 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:30.800 can recalibrate the joysticks to account for dead zones that may develop over 00:06:28.640 --> 00:06:34.280 time. Or you could install a compatible third-party Hall Effect joysticks and 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:38.720 never have to think about that ever until the end of time basically. 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:43.840 It's nice to have options though. An AI-powered tool from Google DeepMind 00:06:40.840 --> 00:06:48.200 called Gnome has predicted recipes for 00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:50.200 2.2 million new crystals with 380,000 of 00:06:48.200 --> 00:06:53.320 those being stable enough to potentially enable the development of new 00:06:51.400 --> 00:06:57.400 superconductors, batteries, computer chips, and more. Google says discovering 00:06:55.640 --> 00:07:02.720 this amount of recipes would have taken 800 years using normal squishy human 00:07:00.640 --> 00:07:06.560 intelligence and even longer to cook the darn things. Just cleaned the kitchen 00:07:04.640 --> 00:07:11.320 and now there's vanadium everywhere. Vanadium? Vanadium. Even better, 00:07:09.200 --> 00:07:17.200 Google's giving researchers free access to the data and 736 of the materials are 00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:21.400 being synthesized and tested right now. So don't you worry. ChatGPT will have an 00:07:19.760 --> 00:07:25.680 indestructible physical body soon enough. You will not be able to defeat 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:30.080 them. Scientists at Tufts University and Harvard have created itty-bitty 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:35.560 self-assembling robots made out of hundreds of cultured human trachea cells 00:07:33.080 --> 00:07:41.240 that they're calling anthrobots. In the lab, these tiny transformers were able 00:07:37.880 --> 00:07:43.400 to combine into a superbot to repair a 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:46.440 scratch in a layer of neural tissue without any need for genetic 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:50.280 manipulation. Maybe one day they'll be used to heal and regrow parts of 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:55.760 patients' bodies and to fight the equally tiny disease icons that secretly 00:07:52.520 --> 00:07:58.360 cause all sickness. I liked it. I loved 00:07:55.760 --> 00:08:03.320 it. And Google has issued an apology to the dozens of drivers and families that 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:07.960 Google Maps mistakenly directed down an otherwise abandoned dirt road in the 00:08:05.440 --> 00:08:12.840 Mojave Desert, ostensibly to avoid a dust storm. The new route was supposed 00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:17.120 to shave 50 minutes off their trip, but instead it just led to a washed-out dead 00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:20.360 end and wrecked one vehicle badly enough that it had to be towed. This is just 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:26.000 like in the book of Exodus when the Israelites are wandering the desert, but 00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:29.400 every few minutes Moses goes, "Ding! 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.560 Recalculating." And then the 00:08:29.400 --> 00:08:34.440 Moses says, "There's an ocean here. Oh, whoops." 00:08:32.719 --> 00:08:38.479 But there's no need to recalculate when I direct you to come back on Monday for 00:08:36.280 --> 00:08:44.400 more tech news. We won't wreck your car. I mean, we will try, but no promises. 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:44.400 Why'd you bring your car? Right.
