00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:07.650
that's right tech news man is back

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:09.760
mother

00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:16.800
Intel has announced a lineup of all new arc pro graphics cards since the launch

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:22.240
of Intel's arc gpus for gaming was such a smashing success

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:24.080
smart and then the script says smirk

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:28.720
as the name implies they're professional tier graphics processors for content

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:34.559
creation design and engineering akin to NVIDIA's rtx a series and AMD's Radeon

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:37.280
pro the cards have a dare i say it

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:41.440
minimalist and utilitarian look devoid of any RGB bling you could use to

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:44.800
illuminate the gaping void in your soul but they do have all the bells and

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:49.600
whistles when it comes to encoding and rendering however as is still the case

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:54.320
with the arc gaming lineup it might be a bit before we find out just how well

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:58.640
these pro gpus actually work considering Intel's now very well publicized issues

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:02.719
with graphics drivers and more recently board partners so you may want to think

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:06.880
about holding off on buying an arc pro unless you're looking for an architect

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:10.880
that wasn't john i take full responsibility hey you know

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:15.680
how you can save a thousand dollars right now leave it in your bank account

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:21.119
and don't spend it on anything or you could buy an rtx 3090 ti which is

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:25.119
getting a pretty insane discount due to the huge glut of inventory floating

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.159
around out there that NVIDIA wants cleared out ahead of the lovelace GPU

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:34.240
launch right now two models from evga are going for less than twelve hundred

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:38.159
dollars down from msrp is around twenty two hundred bucks so it's quite a deal

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:43.360
but do keep in mind that the upcoming rtx 4070 is rumored to match the

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:47.119
performance of the 3090 ti at a significantly lower price point so if

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:51.280
you've got twelve hundred dollars burning a hole in your pocket maybe

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:56.079
choose a wiser investment like lottery tickets that was not investment advice

00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:59.200
john wrote this script and he went to law school

00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:02.719
but still i wouldn't valve has been quite good about allowing

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:06.880
players to use many different kinds of controllers but for a long time support

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:11.440
for the nintendo switch's joy-cons has been notably absent

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:14.959
well not anymore the latest beta version of steam finally features support for

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:18.319
the popular controllers so if you already own a switch it'll save you from

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.319
spending extra money on something like an xbox controller if you don't want to

00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:25.680
use a mouse and keyboard do keep in mind though that unlike most other

00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:30.480
controllers you don't have the option to connect joy-cons to your pc via usb and

00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:34.800
will have to use bluetooth i wonder if some indie developer will

00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:38.800
release a steam game called joy-con drift simulator 2022.

00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.640

with riley no way

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:33.840
oh it looks like apple is going to get into

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:38.480
the smart display game to compete with products like the amazon echo show and

00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:41.760
the google nest hub insider mark german has reported that such a device is in

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:45.280
testing and could appear in the next couple years hopefully for apple it'll

00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:50.560
be more popular than the complete debacle that was the original homepod i

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:53.840
can't even remember it i was traumatized you'd be forgiven for forgetting that

00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:57.439
netflix has been offering some free games to subscribers for a while now a

00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:02.159
new report has revealed that less than one percent of their subscriber base is

00:03:59.920 --> 00:04:06.480
actually playing them although netflix's bread and butter is obviously streaming

00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:10.000
movies and series not gaming the company would surely like to see more folks

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:13.680
downloading its games as it seeks new revenue streams to counter recent

00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:17.440
subscriber losses except that they're only offering like a handful of Android

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:21.120
games right now you know what they should do is to pick up those old aaa

00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:25.680
games that ubisoft stopped supporting that i

00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:30.080
got him the xbox series s obviously has appeal as a lower cost alternative to

00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:33.759
the series x but one massive trade-off is that the s doesn't have enough vram

00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:37.360
to keep up with all the fancy fixings developers are adding to games but a

00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:41.280
recent software update has allocated more of the system's shared memory to

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:45.840
vram so hopefully you'll see a quality boost in your favorite titles and never

00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:50.400
have to feel console envy again it's my forever console i'm sure that

00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:54.320
NVIDIA is hoping for its lovelace gpus to be a hit whenever they come out as

00:04:52.160 --> 00:05:00.160
the crypto crash and result in tank and demand for graphics cards led team green

00:04:56.880 --> 00:05:02.639
to finish the second quarter 1.4 billion

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:07.680
dollars short of projections that's obviously a lot of money but keep in

00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:12.160
mind their overall revenue is up thanks to their data center business so jensen

00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:16.639
is in no risk of having to sell the leather jacket off his back can you

00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:21.600
imagine and remember to verify that images you see on the web are actually

00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:25.360
what they say they are etienne klein a research director within the french

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:30.560
government shared what he claimed was a picture of the star proxima centauri

00:05:27.919 --> 00:05:35.680
taken by the james webb's telescope but it was actually a slice of chorizo

00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:39.680
posted as a joke and as a lesson not to blindly trust those with authority

00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:43.360
seeing his proxima centauri is in fact a red dwarf i wouldn't feel too bad if you

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:47.759
were fooled by the vermilion colored sausage but now

00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:50.800
i'm suddenly in the mood for tapas and if you're still in the mood for tech

00:05:49.039 --> 00:05:55.759
news well all i can say is come back on wednesday trust me binging tech news is

00:05:53.199 --> 00:06:01.080
a habit you do not want to get into it's the beginning of a

00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:01.080
of a dark spiral
