it's not every day you just get free tech news it's every other day
starting on mondays excluding weekends that's how it's always worked it's
tradition yeah NVIDIA seems to be confused because they just launched a
gtx 1630 the weakest graphics card in the current product stack for a base
msrp of 169 dollars
nice three years after they released the gtx 1650 the 1630 has 512 cuda cores almost
400 fewer than the 1650 and over 700
behind the 1650 super whose msrp is actually 10 cheaper so excuse me if i'm
whacking my brain here trying to understand NVIDIA's logic especially
when early reviews have the 1630 losing out to both the 1650 and the also
cheaper Radeon rx 6400
what a joke this is stupid you forgot that uh graphics card prices are going
down not to mention that they're factory overclocked versions from evga going for
200 bucks so yeah GPU prices may be
finally crashing back to earth but that doesn't mean you should go out and buy
any random GPU you find especially not ones that appear to have come about
because NVIDIA had a bunch of old turing chips lying around that they thought
they could sell to confuse gamers just trying to get something that will let
them play minecraft for a few more days before they get banned god
come on i've never been banned sony is continuing their frankly awesome moves
to get into pc gamers good graces with the launch of pc gaming monitors and
headsets under the new enzone
i'm so in zone right now it's called that because sony has heard that gamers
like to be in the zone when they're gaming personally i go into my zone
almost every time i go into my zone when i'm on the toilet
i go into my zone i'm in my zone right now riley i don't
want any more heckling go away okay now you'd expect console manufacturers to
not really like get pc gaming but the two 27 inch in zone monitors are
actually getting decent reviews so far the m3 gives you 1080p at 240 hertz with
display HDR 400 for 529 us dollars while
the m9 whoo fancy has 4k 144 hertz with
display HDR 600 for 8.99 there's also the 99 wired h3 headset the 229 wireless
h7 and the top tier wireless h9 with noise canceling for 300 macaroons all
three will be able to analyze your ears analyze your hearers riley
analyze your ears and how they hears and adapt their 3d spatial sound just for
you but that's kind of standard for fancy headphones these days i've had my
ears analyzed so many times i don't feel anything anymore
except except when i'm in the zone so maybe this will be good
and california's state senate has voted to proceed development of a bill that
will hold social media platforms liable for engaging in unfair business
practices known to harm children i mean when you phrase it like that of course
it passed the vote of course that's that one guy in there thinking i think
harming children's okay oh hey hold on let's think about this
if passed into law the social media platform duty to act would allow not
only parents but also state attorney generals district attorneys and certain
city lawyers to sue companies like metta or bite dance for employing features
designed to be addictive to children the question is what is addicted to children
and not adults and what does it mean to be addictive this show is addicted to
sarcasm should should we be sued don't sue us please but while there's
some questions to answer here it's definitely a good thing that we're starting to figure out that maybe we
should do something about social media being a horrible toxic mess yeah i
should tweet about this but not before the quick bits brought to you by vulture

part of the show but you might want to watch them through sunglasses to protect yourself why'd you say it like that
because i felt like it okay ARM has announced their new immortalis g715
the company's first mobile chipset GPU to support hardware based ray tracing
it's not the first phone chip with ray tracing as samsung's exynos 2200
supported it with help from AMD but ARM's announcement means that we may
once again enter a golden era of memes about how unnecessary ray tracing is 99
of the time especially when it'll probably mean big old frame rate dips
on a phone yep but i don't doubt games will look glorious it's even going to
feel like i'm there when i hold my phone very close to my face
valve may be doubling shipments of the steam deck but recipients may be
disappointed to learn that in some models the company stealthily cut the
bandwidth of the gaming handheld's SSD in half but wait cheaping out on parts a
bit may help valve ship units faster and they say that their testing has showed
little to no impact on the gaming performance using pci gen 3 by 2 instead
of by 4 so there's no need to get a pitchfork put that down you just got it
in your hands so fast why why did you just have that right there well i have a
pitchfork in my room okay the once legendary htc is for some reason still
making phones i had no idea why but their latest model
the desire 22 pro might catch everyone's attention again because it's a meta i
can't even say that word because it's so stupid because it's a metaverse phone yikes
meaning it can be used as a controller for htc's vive flow headset to
enter the metaverse just like any other phone not cool enough well it also has an app
for the vivard's nft store nfts want to buy it now yeah no that metaverse nft
phone let you take a phone it's the meta ft it's got the good stuff
very fungible a modder known as potato of doom 1337 has made a mod for
cyberpunk 2077 that enables AMD's new fidelity fx super resolution 2.0
upscaling tech which appears to have actually provided a significant FPS and
quality boost on gtx 1080s which don't support NVIDIA's dlss while cyberpunk is
performing a lot better these days than it did at launch potato's work serves to
illustrate how AMD's platform agnostic method can work on basically anything
maybe even a potato let's try it LTT video ltteststore.com i'll host it cool
and niantic's mission to create as many augmented reality games as possible
continues with its announcement of nba all world which looks like pokemon go
but with basketball players instead of pocketable monsters are there still like
like pokeballs maybe oh they're just like a basketball
they're basketballs wow you can encounter b-ball pros in the
wild and challenge them with your own player before you recapture both of them
and hold thinking and feeling human beings captive to battle for your
enjoyment you're sick yep get some help messed up man is it okay if you're in
the zone though yeah okay yeah that's fine but you won't need to go into the zone again until friday for more tech
news just get subscribed to TechLinked it's easy yeah uh uh honey uh-uh
