Anyone got the timestamp where Paul sends it through a school zone while shouting "buy an RTX 5080 you little peasants!"?

[Doug-muev]

Donated in the memory of Gordon! He has been my go-to for the TRUTH about computers since I was just getting started in the PC space. He will be missed terribly. May his family know the greatness of his legacy!

[christophermullins]

Rip gordon. Seemed like a great guy, father, and just generally uplifting dude. Your impact will be felt for decades.

[drhouse]

The space between RTX 5090 and 5080 is so large they can fit 5080 Super, 5080 Ti, and 5080 Ti Super in there without problem.

[NuclearGamez]

Thanks for helping me build my first pc Paul!

[CantankerousDave]

It’s actually impressive that he’s throwing out all that info without a script or teleprompter.

[Fluskar]

that 5080 ti refresh coming a year from now with 24gb is gonna hit the pc community like crack

[aNapTownLegend]

As someone who's still rocking a GTX 1080 TI, I'd like to see how AMD pricing will be for GPUs. This is really going to determine how I move forward with my next PC build.

[danethorson]

Only 16GB VRAM on the 5080?? 😮 This is disappointing. It should have 24GB or at least 20GB. WTF Nvidia is doing?

[hyakkimaru]

There is something different with this channel that i love keep up the good work

[thisguy]

Paul makes the 3+ hour trip to CES, while I make the 3+ hour trip to Tustin Micro Center.

[MrMcGreed]

I'm very excited for all the content coming up from Paul and Joe ❤

[EzekielYork]

Gordon got me into getting my first DYI desktop computer in 2001 from fry's Electronic. Rest well my brother!

[ScottMGordon]

Gordon is there in spirit, I will miss his ability to inject fun and humor when things don't go so good. can't wait to see the new stuff. have a safe trip guys

[espressoshot]

Super excited about CES! Not just for PC parts and gaming related products but also for new tech in tv & monitors and smart home products!

[eric]

Thanks for the update Paul. Have a great time in Vegas, and I'm looking forward to seeing your coverage of the event.

[FlyTimeRC]

Really looking forward to ces. Cant wait for your updates!!!

[spx]

Gordon Mah Ung is going to be missed dearly... But his legacy will be carried on by the all the great tech-Youtubers like yourself! 💪💪💪

[ntrkt]

Hi Paul
I would love it if you could report on any large, ultra-wide monitors that you find at CES. I'm looking to upgrade my older 38" alienware IPS ultra-wide with an OLED version and I'm hoping this year brings some good options.
Thanks for all your great tech news!

[Ja_Schadenfreude]

I'm surprised/glad they threw 16GB on the 5070Ti. What I won't be surprised by is that it will cost 100's of dollars more than I want to pay.
