I like how RTX is just peeking around the corner.

Tim blink 3 times fast if Steve hit you in the head. We can help. I'll take the next flight down there to help you find a lawyer.

Yeah whenever the TUF graphics cards started. I noticed basically they are cheating and making those extremely low quality. TUF usually meant it was a good motherboard with like an extended 5 year warranty in most cases. I don't really know why they trashed the TUF name like that. And that's why they will never give a TUF sample to anyone to test because the idea of it is to trick people to give low quality, high profit product.

Given Nvidia's past anticompetitive attempts, most notably GPP, I would be willing to bet that Nvidia has started something to make sure that if a company wants to advertise gsync compatibility then they must not advertise freesync as well.

[Azraleee]

AFAIK the only Freesync Badge that costs a fee is the Freesync 2 HDR one.

[sahasarya]

Hey, do you guys need me to ship the Ryzen 5 3500 to you? It's available here in India for $150 US.

[merlin]

The FreeSync/G-Sync logo thing makes so much sense! If you want the G-sync sticker NVIDIA forbids FreeSync sticker

"... i hope it's not too distracting"




i keep on looking at that spot on his forehead while he's saying that

[ntomnia]

Tim's new set should help appease the Nvidia overlords despite the criticism of ray tracing on RTX cards. Hopefully you won't have a repeat of the RTX 2060 missing review sample.
If Steve could widen out the camera framing a bit more to show that Titan and RTX box more clearly, they'd be set. :D

[SourNote]

Recently I went for 1080p 144hz gaming PC with 3600x and 2070 super. It does the job damn well.

[xCAFEFD]

I was gonna suggest you get some forehead makeup. But then I remembered that the pure white foundation fell out of style in the 18 hundreds.

[Qyngali]

There are more differences for workstation vs gaming cards, such as full ECC support and much better double precision floating point.

[Vonliktenstien]

Man, Tim must be rolling in that Lego dough since his set is one big lego-shill commercial.

[rarsn]

Steve, I love your background. I can't even make out most of the boxes or whatever, it just looks cool. Your content is right up there with Steve at GN in my opinion. I don't doubt that there are shady people out there willing to profit one way or another, but I'm just not seeing it, especially in the tier of quality content that you and GN exist in. 99% of the viewers probably don't even look at the background that much, I know I don't, so those kind of claims are just patently absurd.


Edit: Added "to" between "willing profit" because I didn't catch it the first time around. Sorry for anyone that had to read that.

OUCH, I'm sorry about the head Tim. That had to hurt. I hope it heals up fast and doesn't hurt too much.
