00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.480
what's the intro again i don't know hey there's no intro today but

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

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:14.880
but the Windows 10 october update is finally coming out

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:19.119
again but it's halfway through november you might say and you'd be right you

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:23.199
always were the smart one and if you didn't know microsoft did release the

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:29.039
update in october initially but pulled it after it deleted users files which we

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:32.960
talked about in this TechLinked episode now those issues have apparently been

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:37.440
resolved and fixed and users who have their system set to automatically update

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:41.840
immediately should be getting the update the new update first with a wider

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:46.399
rollout following sometime later the update brings with it a dark theme for

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:50.000
the file explorer the your phone app that lets you interact with your phone

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:54.480
from your desktop clipboard history so you'll have an entire timeline of things

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:58.559
saved to your clipboard and more so it looks like Windows 10 is actually

00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:02.559
getting some pretty cool stuff hopefully it'll let us keep our data this time

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

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

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:14.320
ray tracing when they launched their rtx graphics cards but the actual feature

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:18.720
was nowhere to be found until now the

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:23.920
Windows october update which we just talked a bunch about aka Windows 10 1809

00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:30.320
also brings with its support for directx ray tracing aka dxr which is now enabled

00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:35.920
in battlefield 5 the game so are the brand new sparkly graphics life changing

00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:40.479
after all well they're certainly frame rate changing as early performance tests

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:46.960
by tech powerup and guru 3d show ray tracing cutting the game's FPS in half

00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:52.720
god now there are there are levels of dxr you can enable low medium high and

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:56.880
ultra but with dxr ultra the top-end rtx

00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:58.479
2080 ti barely manages to hit 60fps at

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:02.079
1080p that's the world's most powerful gaming

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:05.520
card here's hoping that performance improves with a bit of

00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:09.599
good old-fashioned optimization but i think it's fair to say that if this is

00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:13.360
what ray tracing looks like i think i'm fine living a bit more of my

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

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:22.879
need it get out of here now

00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:26.480
all this rtx nonsense has really put some pressure on AMD however to come up

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:31.520
with a similar graphic solution involving ray tracing well AMD's senior

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:35.680
vice president of engineering david wang has given an interview stating that the

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:39.519
company is in fact focused on other priorities for the time being

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:43.200
however wang also said that AMD will definitely respond to NVIDIA and

00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:47.519
microsoft's ray tracing technology eventually but it won't be a mainstream

00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:52.000
phenomenon until some form of the tech is offered on the entire range of gpus

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

00:02:53.519 --> 00:03:00.000
hard for me to get excited about rtx when a it's arguably a subtle difference

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

00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:09.040
the highest and graphics card i'm still mad ah come on

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:13.440

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:46.000
during the update the owner said his iphone started smoking and exploded

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:50.160
that's what you get for smoking apple has responded saying that this is

00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:52.880
definitely not expected behavior i should hope not

00:04:54.080 --> 00:04:58.720
