7:30 - No said anything about Blu-rays, where was that? I loved buying them at 50%-75% off on Black Fridays, especially those complete seasons combos, trilogies, even 4K ( usually $30) go 50% off! Good days to stock up on physical media.
Thank you Reese for today's deals! Snapped up one of those monitors...great price, let's hope it's as nice as it sounds!
Rocking a Intel Arc A770 and love the monthly drivers update. More performance every month so far with each update. Brilliant!! Keep going Intel!!
Bout to build an arc PC for my son!
Hope you will have a great time! Because I didn’t. Now I’m not talking about arc, I’m talking about the igpu of an intel processor and since I have it so that the steamvr menu is handled by the intel igpu (the games are rendered on my nvidia gpu and I do this because I use a laptop), one day the intel igpu driver crashed so hard that steamvr wouldn’t launch and playing videos in google would crash the app. Thankfully updating/repairing the driver seems to have fixed everything. So in conclusion they are improving in the gpu space but they need to work hard to make arc “daily drivable” it’s mostly driver problems though
@@melaniaslatan1177 it is daily drivable. I use a 4070 super on my main rig and a A750 on another. I would bet the avg user wouldn't have a problem with an arc card. There is going to be unique situations like yours and that is where updates come in.
When intel releases the same CPU for 3 generations but slightly overclocked, you're gonna get issues eventually.
Yeah, they're trying to push it too far. They haven't had a meaningful uplift in performance in years... Just power usage.
Hopefully their stagnation doesn't push AMD to be lazy.
Bit like their 14nm decade (it was less, I know) except with alder lake
@@102728 yes! I was thinking of that era when I typed out my reply.
Intel Engineer: It's over Patt, AMD has an advantate this gen
Patt: YOU UNDERESTIMATE OUR CHIPS POWER
Intel Eng: Don't do it!
Patt: 6Ghz let's goooooo
Until it don’t gooooooooooo (not that my 14900k could hit 6ghz)
One point twenty-one gigaawatts? Great scott!
@@rtyler1869huh, my i7-14700k autooverclocks itself to 6.2ghz 💀 (and never goes above 126F), I must’ve just gotten a golden sample one
Physical media disappearing.... but Vinyl remains... after disappearing.
Hopefully that Renaissance happens for games. Including those new gameboys and retrons etc
Once video games start hitting the public domain, we'll see something like that. Isn't it something like 80 years?
Yes, I want the 187 record set of Cyberpunk on Vinyl.
it's already happened, and it was disappointing. Remember that PS1 Playstation classic rerelease sony did? Remember how it turned out to actually just be an emulator running on slow hardware?
@@marsMayflowerConsidering that video games as a commercial art form have been around for close to half a century, you _might_ start seeing stuff that was programmed (and credited properly) in the late 70s and early 80s in about fifty to sixty years.
The problem is that unlike traditional media, video games, especially of that era and probably all the way up until 7th Gen in certain cases, are often tied to specific hardware configurations that might never be able to be replicated properly, even with emulation. And the fact that a good chunk of those early companies, both publishers and developers, are dead or have been passed around like a skinsuit to various owners makes the whole copyright thing a whole can of worms. Even in cases where almost everyone actually wants something done, like GoldenEye, all it takes is someone throwing a fit to keep it trapped in the past.
I really hope Kyler saw the comments on that video. I'm in total agreement that when he's in his element he is an OUTSTANDING creator and I can't wait to see more stuff from him.
If he breaks less stuff... guy is like Mr. Magoo.
Once again, a motherboard manufacturer doesn't change anything until someone proves it's the motherboard settings fault. Fuckin Asus
When I started out diving deeper in pc hw, I disliked asus for their over the top, gamery looking rog line that's priced way too high for most products.
Then over the years, issues regularly popped up in the news feeds, their entry level stuff being horribly sub par, asus support horror stories, etc.
It'll take a while for the rog brand to erode enough for asus to have no choice but to fix their issues, until then I'll happily avoid them.
Also asus has history of stopping support of product just after 2-3 years. Like motherboards no longer getting update drivers just after 2+ years. They famous for that.
Also, (unfortunately) MSI problems for me in the last couple of years. Mostly they worked out eventually due to good bios updates, but...there it is. I'm seeing weird issues with all of them.
And Gigabyte in my case. But it is my processor. Downclock thr CPU and stability is here
@@MrWayne6363
Intel motherboard or AMD? just wondering. I bought msi gaming pro carbon x470 and so far it’s been best motherboard I’ve had. I’ve had mostly Asus motherboard since mid 90’s. Switch amd early 2019 I think. Coming from Asus Sabertooth z77/ i7 3770k 3.5 ghz. Some Asus been decent. Some been shit. Of course most for me we’re all intel. Only AMD I had was Athlon XP back in day I forget what Mobo it was.
All my friends have switch to AMD. Even small indie dev team I was with for few years, as I was beta tester,server admin and ex moderator (tech help guy). One head devs who was doing coding for ue4 servers, he upgrade to Thread Ripper so they could code and compile better. He loved it. Another friend my got msi b450 with 2600x and another friend with 2600 none x version. Last year my friend in Australia had new system built. 5800x3d/32GB/7900xtx. I think went with 570 mobo. He say loves it then poof on me before xmas of last year. I Don’t know what happened too him. Lost job? Moved. Don’t know.
My x470 been great. Only minor issue I’ve had and this (almost) with all motherboard is crappy RealTek onboard Sound. They all been shit for years and since nobody else is competing with onboard sound. IMO soundcard have gone shit too. Back in day soundblast 16 & 32 would really good. But Creative has gone down hill too. Sound in games has kinda taken backseat Imo. It’s all about graphics and RT now.
If your on intel. Might be why. Intel has gotten sloppy over the Years. But if already on AMD, must been bad motherboard? Intel can have bad boards too. Since Jay2cent report on more few motherboard go dead for no reason on either AMD/Intel.
Bios updates were kinda shit when ryzen 1xxx/2xxx first came out. But they a lot better. If ppl don’t update bios. That can cause serious issues with windows and any newer hardware. Windows = bloatware. I’m waiting for steam os to come desktop PCs. Some day soon hopefully.
Ngl battlemage is a dope name for a graphics card series! Would buy for the name alone.
yes exactly 😅
I cast Raytracing!
Of course the Cybertruck isn’t selling well… it’s a design with “limited appeal”. I mean, _I_ want one, but mostly so I can mount a fake Gatling gun in the bed and run around pretending to be the Master Chief, and I’m not rich enough to actually do that.
Yeah there is a very limited group of people who that vehicle appeals to. I have a feeling once those people get theirs, they will sit on lots and not sell.
@@volvo09 As much as I’d love to get one in a clearance fire sale for $500, hopefully Tesla has a good estimation of real-world demand and doesn’t make too many of them.
@@OtherTheDave they'd rather break em down for parts than sell em to you for cheap.
@@OtherTheDave They've only made/sold less than 4000 so far. With the recall and all the bad reviews and issues, I wouldn't be surprised if they halt production entirely. It's just a big hulking joke of a vehicle and anyone who'd want one now (other than as a meme that they paid $500 for) is quite probably an idiot.
@@OtherTheDavecareful with how you word it, they might actually burn in that case.
definitely eyeing building a budget Intel Arc based build. So good to see Intel making huge strides.
Yeah I'm happy they are sticking to it.
Can't wait to see the next gen stuff.
Remember when Napster was a thing then Spotify happened? But ironically streaming services as a whole, can remove content at will and increase their prices and reduce their content quality thus piracy will happen all over again. This is a service issue as well as price.
Bad move deleting physical media.
How many GPU competitors do we need before Nvidia and AMD get their $hit together?
Bring back Matrox to the mainstream! Power VR2
My guess would be 4-5 at minimum.
Just one, but they need to actually compete.
Time for the voodoo 6
@@dreadtrain2846 I would say 2 more, not counting "Intel".
I _need_ a single slot Intel A310... or ideally the A350M on a PCIe card. Even more ideal, probably the battlemage version of those :)
sparkle has a lowprofile single slot a310, the cooler will fit on an a380 if ya have the money
The ASRock A310 I got earlier this year idles at 51-56 Celsius with its two-slot cooler and dual fan chassis depending on ambient. It's used solely for AV1 encoding and does not get too warm, but that is my use case and results.
There are also Arc Pro cards based on ACM-G11 that are single slot. Probably not worth the price unless you really need one of the features in a single slot configuration.
Laundry tip: take your shirts out of the tumble dry a bit early while they are still damp and hang them in the closet. Will be mostly wrinkle free in an hour or two by they time they're dry!
Too much extra effort, no thanks.
That would create mold?
@@Arigal3no, not a slightly moist shirt.
@@Arigal3 unless you keep it wet longer than 2 3 days, then no, its how people who don't have tumble dryer to dry
Thanks for the reply! To be fair, I only do this with my business casual shirts, which i only have about five of those. I dont do do this with all my t-shirts. I could see where that could be a lot of extra effort!
I have one of those 10GB 3080's - good card, but short on VRAM for sure. The 12GB model made much more sense.
I had to change SO MUCH stuff on my Gigabyte board just to get it stable and within reasonable temps for my 13700k
I am an Arch 770 owner AND TO HEAR THIS IS A MIDDLE FINGER TO THE FACE OF MY HATERS AND I TOLD YOU SOOOOOOOOOO HAAAAAA
4:20 Iirc there was a 20GB ver of rtx3080Ti, which i guess was also an ES, but boy it would have been one hell of an option if it was an official card for the masses
Yeah, I meant 20GB, said it wrong.
@@UFDTech ah, i see thought you were saying about the 10gb vs 12gb base 3080
it is about time that board manufactures get a wake up call - because this is not just an intel cpu issue since if we focus on that we forget the problems with over voltage on amd cpus months ago, or the fact that we are being sold motherboards that supposedly support 7800 or 8000+ ddr5 but that in fact *in most cases* do not actually cope with the advertised ddr5 speed independently of how good or bad the imc on the cpu is.
Oh Intel is improving gaming performance? That's awesome I wish they would fix the part where my entire pc freezes when I'm playing Minecraft
Dedotated wam issues?
@@UmmerFarooq-wx4yo wasn't having issues a few weeks ago and I'm using 32gb of tridZ's so I doubt it's that
@@MyNameIsBhex Run a memtest to be sure.
The behind the scenes discussion was super appreciated
intel should be able to do better, they are using 2x the silicon to do the same performance after all.
I'm really surprised you didn't cover the whole EKWB fiasco that's been going on and seeing both GN & JayzTwoCents on the issue is very concerning for a company who can't pay their employees!
Maby they donated enough?
Uhhh, that's pretty much dead I think.
if the dvds are taking up a lot of space, I'll be honest they could easily just have a spot in the back (well if they were able to... i don't think they can at my local best buy due to how they changed the store layout... seems all merchandise is in a warehouse in another part of the city... which is why almost anything of note is not in the store at all)
I put my dvds in binders
It would also help if dvds weren't more than five dollars, i always wait for redbox to sell the movies i want because 20 or more bucks is too much.
Ah yes, the good old disc destroyers. Imagine my surprise how half of my dvds in binders stop reading while the ones that are in their proper jewel cases are still functional.@Imbatmn57
1:04 bless you
lmao
I always like to hear the "behind the scene discussions".
asus section is that related to all there z790s ? because im haven these issues
It would be good to update bios asus it or wait a little longer for what you think?
In other words it's the same problem AMD had with 7800X3D chips motherboard companies sending to much power to the chips.
EXACTLY But the AMD cultists forget that
I like how all these companies are ditching DVDs when you tech was revealed last year that you can install 10 times more the data on new architecture DVDs
the quadro rtx 4000 (single slot) had a tbp of 160w (same as 4060 ti 8gb), so I am not surprised someone would try. Personally, I would prefer such a cooler on something 145w or less tho.
also, exposing the heatsink is a pretty cool idea
I just discovered you. Love your style. Subscriber earned.
These cybertrucks will make for a ridiculous "look at the stupid crap they used to do back in the day" in ~10 years 😎
Also see Sinclair C5 and Juicero.
It reminds me of the horrendous Pontiac Aztek.
@@kb198219khey, you take that back!
you can do a test before and after using the update BIOS 13700K
I have a 2060 ko. That was a 2080 die with defects and sold as a rtx 2060
I'm surprised my local Best Buy is still open. I went in there looking for an HDMI 2.1 cable and tumbleweeds were rolling across the floor.
Instability on Raptor Lake??? Since when??? Been working flawlessly for me
@@auritro3903 I have a 13th gen i9
4:26 YEEEEEESSSS the return of the GTX 1070 Katana, but updated !
Thank you Galax/KFA2 !
I wished the Linux Xe driver has feature parity with the Windows one =\
The existence of this GTX 2070 confirms that Nvidia had no intentions of any performance improvements over the GTX 1000 series with the RTX 2000 series in games not using RT.
I have an MSI Tomahawk AM4 motherboard and someone (I think JayzTwoCents) recently brought it to my attention that I should check some OC related settings. Sure enough, even though they were talking specifically about Intel, there were a couple settings in "send CPU to early grave" mode. Default settings should always respect the CPU's design specs.
1. Hope that Intel box was empty during the rant. LOL
2. Love the behind the scenes info. To me it makes me connect better with the people of any channel.
3. You have a great family and team that makes all videos enjoyable.
Thank you and keep up the great work!!
Tesla was never a car company. It was a tech company making cars. Now trucks…and even after all these years, you would have thought they had a formula to built proper vehicles…guess not.
Yeah. They build niche vehicles, not mainstream people movers.
@@nismo2070 Exactly. I have no personal problems with Musk, but I'm not buying a EV just to say "watch my 0-60!"

0:16 I am, in fact, watching this while eating my breakfast 😮
Didn't I say when the first reports of this came out that it felt similar to the AMD issue with ASUS and the X3D chips literally exploding hard enough to leave a small crater in the motherboard?
I want that little 4060ti!!! I have been trying to find a good modern sff GPU for a build I'm planning. That galax card looks a lot like the quadro k4200 I have floating around.
That got me. "Intel Thunderbolt" was really intel haha. New lessons everyday.
No EK news? 😢
i dont iron my tshirts i sweat in behind the keyboard either but.. ive been told that people tend to iron such things to desinfect stuff. I dont know how much of a point that is if you dry your stuff in an actual drying machine.
To be fair, for many people it is important that it is highlighted that the wifi chip is Intel as, as seen in many reviews, many people prefer that over a Realtek wifi chip.
I don't think there is that much difference nowadays, but it is what it is.
I would love to see intel vs intel baseline benchmarks on the 1X900K CPU's
I had the full self driving trial this month. It's a neat novelty but I would not pay money for it. The basic lane keeping is good enough in most cars.
Am glad I went AMD this time around... 1st time since 2001, and the new AMD (MSI Alpha17CV) laptop is Wifi7 with the qualcom 7800 HBS and its quick...
im new to this pc building stuff, about 3yrs now, but from what ive seen, all motherboard manufacturers have had their spell doing this "non-intel recommended" stuff, before asus it was gigabyte i think? so now the problem is because theres actually competition for intel?
I'm hoping Battlemage will have some lower power consumption options. I still have a 1050ti. I really want to upgrade but I don't want to increase my power usage tenfold. Energy ain't cheap now.
Really hope the group of people (me included) that are returning to physical media grows enough that impacts the market the way vinyl kinda did.
I am also looking forward to Intel's Batlemage and fixes for the heat and stability of future Intel cpus. Not in a terrible hurry to upgrade now. I have pared an A770 with the oft maligned I7-11700F and so far things have been surprisingly good.
As an owner of an rog 690z hero . I ran the Settings. They are switching to and my CPU still burnt up. And I only watch CZcams and play Fortnite in a weather widget.and monopoly go! For the win
I'm not sure if TikTok is going to be sold. The US is only a small fraction of their users.
People need to absolutely stop being mean to Brett. He is wonderful. Neither of you are "vibe vacuums" being weird and silly is absolutely okay. It makes me want to come back.
The single slot RTX 4060Ti looks so much better design than Katana GTX 1070. The heatsink is taller and exposed to the chassis airflow, more hot air exhaust slots are provided on the PCI slot and bigger cutouts in better locations are made in the airflow guide/shroud.
Katana was already good card, not much worse than blower FE despite being much smaller. This here may be it, ultimate single slot card. I am going to say it - blowers can be designed to be as cool and quiet as any other cards of similar size. Hell, Ampere and Ada FE cards are basically half blower style cards and they are cool and quiet despite being relatively small compared to AIB models with the same chip.
Rtx 2060 vs intel arc a770?
I invite all of you to watch a 4k bluray next to the same 4k stream. It is an immense step back in terms of quality.
Yeah, whenever anyone says thunderbolt it's Intel.
Some thunderbolt devices will work through USB C but not all of them.
Didn’t Intel OpenSource the Thunderbolt standard a while ago? They Open sourced the Thunderbolt 3 spec years ago and USB4 uses like 50% of the same functions and specs of official Thunderbolt4
the new intel thing is not stable it undervolts under the vf curve requirement. my friend tryed it on 13600kf and he needs 1.234 vcore to be stable the intel baseline profile gives less than 1.2 vcore so he stuttered like hell and freezed for some seconds even with 5 lower ring clock than stock...
Don't you have to iron everything to kill the botworm eggs so you don't get parasites?
I may have one of those katana 1070's in my storage unit. Next time I'm out there, I'll look. I know I have a few 1080's and 1080ti's. If I do find the katana 1070, I'll sell it to you super cheap.
4:19 RTX 3080 10 gig? That wasn't a weird GPU at all? That was the standard card from the beginning. The 3080 12gig was released much later. And yes, I did have a 3080 10 gig. It was a gigabyte model.
Target is literally boring without the DVD section lmao. Especially when the ENTIRE men's underwear and socks section is already locked behind glass.
Physical Media has the side issue that the owners need to have players for the media. Think of all the Laser disc movies no one can watch due to lack of players.
physical media for music and video disappearing can be solved by recording solutions (fair use based on Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc., 1984)
4:05 whoever owns that card needs to put it on shelf on display in a display box and not touch it, going to be worth something someday.
So self driving is a subscription? After Amazons "AI" store, how funny would it be if the subscription is really just paying someone to drive remotely for you whenever your on the road?
It's either or. You can either pay the one time or pay monthly.

the true default safe setting for all motherboards whether AMD or Intel. The real fight!
My gigabyte B550 Vision D-P AM4 motherboard has thunderbolt
intel’s wifi chips have largely been way better than mediatek’s offerings, it’s just the brand. you don’t forgo mentioning apple’s name when talking about the iphone 🤷♂️
Speaking of Deals, Reece. What's the deal with that Cort hanging on your wall? :D
Jayz2cents has been saying that about the intel default limits in BIOS for quite a while now.
Just in time for Battlemage in November???
They should be around a 5070 but for $499.
They'd have to be $450 for them to be worth while.
@@bansheezs it could be 6 months earlier than the 5070 though so it's like getting a 4080 for $499 which isn't bad.
But yeah, depends how aggressively they price the 5070. I can't see it being $599 with 16GB but we will see.
Yet they don't enable xmp by default
luckily USB4 is starting to appear on some AMD motherboards, who needs Thunderbolt
My physical media is on SSD... been there for years
tesla's pedal fix of adding a rivet is some st0ner sh!t that i wouldve done in college
To even make a throttle pedal that crappily is insane. Sliding a cosmetic piece over the pedal? That reminds me of my friend buying clip on chrome gas and brake pedals from auto zone and I laughed at him.
Lmao. Give dude drill, and he will be done in like 30s, but because tesla is best company and doesnt need any service centers...they now had to ship ALL cars across the country.
I'll test the update on the Intel A750 later to see if Kenshi will play longer then five minutes before crashing. Every other game works fine except that one.
i have only ironed 1 thing in my whole life… my prom shirt lol
I would expect the intel baseline profile be the stock setup that don't burn my intel CPU in an intel-only board...
Three years ago, my neighbor told me he paid for a cybertruck and was waiting for delivery. How many people bought one of these thats still waiting cause either this guy is a liar, or for some reason he still cant get anything to the public. 3600 deliveries after years of telling us about it 😂
Many of those people have probably given up. 3 years is a long time to wait for a vehicle, and to STILL be waiting for it is ridiculous.
Gigabyte is doing the same thing Asus was doing.. there is no default baseline in my Aorus Z790 Master X and I've had to go in and change all their settings to get system stability. I'm not even comfortable that I've set everything correctly.
We need more GOGs, not more physical media.
I feel like they should let us download movies directly onto our system like on our pc or something idk if thats already a thing cause I don't use streaming subscriptions and if I do want to watch a show or movie...🤫
9:00 I am going to have to lay some of that blame squarely on the MB manufacturers as well as the CPU manufacture, let us not forget this happen with Ryzen 4 what did they do, they had to change bios setting to manufacturer's suggested settings. You think they learned their lesson, unfortunately nope.
Raul was taught the interface and tried to look at the math, programing of it and how it worked
So he was able to understand one part of it others didnt and the other sections were explored already.
He went with a lot of their lines they were selling but would go into rants just tslking with you.
They said they would listen and he had been doing it for years but wanted to hold onto him because what he discovered was making them trillions for decades.
It was talking about the interface with canada that was the last straw.
Watching the comments reply section, and all I can think is: "Someone doesn't trust someone else because they... honestly disclosed... branded sponsored content??" And it left me confused. :)
except i have an asus mobo on am4 with thunderbolt 4 :D
That doesnt change the fact that its an Intel tech and they had to license it for the board as its not part of the AmD chipset
@19:10
Agreed. The naming is just bad. Feels intentionally confusing.
It could be simple and clear by listing the; Year, tier, core count, secondary specifier, oc, and igu. It can still be a long fancy name with branding and buzz words, but it needs to be clear.

Glad that I haven't used Intel CPUs since my 2015 build.
I really like Kylar and I understand some people's criticisms of him but for me he's just a bit awkward and I think if he were to be allowed to get more comfortable with the flow of Brett's energy, would become an amazing permanent co-host. He just needs to practice the art of keeping the show on the rails of whatever subject they would be talking about. Also I really like the organic sort of vibe from UFD overall in that it's not totally scripted and edited. I think that is sort of a UFD trademark and is one of the reasons I tune in every morning.
