1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,480
what's the intro again i don't know hey there's no intro today but

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:10,960
i don't know onto the tech news well it's been a long october for microsoft

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:14,880
but the Windows 10 october update is finally coming out

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:19,119
again but it's halfway through november you might say and you'd be right you

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,199
always were the smart one and if you didn't know microsoft did release the

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:29,039
update in october initially but pulled it after it deleted users files which we

7
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:32,960
talked about in this TechLinked episode now those issues have apparently been

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:37,440
resolved and fixed and users who have their system set to automatically update

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:41,840
immediately should be getting the update the new update first with a wider

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:46,399
rollout following sometime later the update brings with it a dark theme for

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:50,000
the file explorer the your phone app that lets you interact with your phone

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:54,480
from your desktop clipboard history so you'll have an entire timeline of things

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:58,559
saved to your clipboard and more so it looks like Windows 10 is actually

14
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:02,559
getting some pretty cool stuff hopefully it'll let us keep our data this time

15
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:07,280
it's not really a fair trade-off it's not too much to ask either yeah did i

16
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:11,600
just have it come on microsoft can i get it NVIDIA made a pretty big deal about

17
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,320
ray tracing when they launched their rtx graphics cards but the actual feature

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,720
was nowhere to be found until now the

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,920
Windows october update which we just talked a bunch about aka Windows 10 1809

20
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:30,320
also brings with its support for directx ray tracing aka dxr which is now enabled

21
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:35,920
in battlefield 5 the game so are the brand new sparkly graphics life changing

22
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:40,479
after all well they're certainly frame rate changing as early performance tests

23
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:46,960
by tech powerup and guru 3d show ray tracing cutting the game's FPS in half

24
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:52,720
god now there are there are levels of dxr you can enable low medium high and

25
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:56,880
ultra but with dxr ultra the top-end rtx

26
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,479
2080 ti barely manages to hit 60fps at

27
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:02,079
1080p that's the world's most powerful gaming

28
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:05,520
card here's hoping that performance improves with a bit of

29
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,599
good old-fashioned optimization but i think it's fair to say that if this is

30
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:13,360
what ray tracing looks like i think i'm fine living a bit more of my

31
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:18,000
life without it we'll see how my life goes though i need it you never know i i

32
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:22,879
need it get out of here now

33
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,480
all this rtx nonsense has really put some pressure on AMD however to come up

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:31,520
with a similar graphic solution involving ray tracing well AMD's senior

35
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:35,680
vice president of engineering david wang has given an interview stating that the

36
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:39,519
company is in fact focused on other priorities for the time being

37
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:43,200
however wang also said that AMD will definitely respond to NVIDIA and

38
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,519
microsoft's ray tracing technology eventually but it won't be a mainstream

39
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:52,000
phenomenon until some form of the tech is offered on the entire range of gpus

40
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:55,760
from the low end to the high end and you know what i think he's got a point it's

41
00:02:53,519 --> 00:03:00,000
hard for me to get excited about rtx when a it's arguably a subtle difference

42
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:05,440
in graphical quality there i said it out loud and b it only runs at 1080p 60 on

43
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,040
the highest and graphics card i'm still mad ah come on

65
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,919
only to get a bit of a rude surprise in return after plugging the phone in

66
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:46,000
during the update the owner said his iphone started smoking and exploded

67
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:50,160
that's what you get for smoking apple has responded saying that this is

68
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:52,880
definitely not expected behavior i should hope not

69
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,720
that's uh we didn't plan for that you know what i'm actually surprised they

70
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,400
even admitted that what that's not expected yeah

71
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:06,880
