[9.36 --> 15.00] we certainly we certainly think so I will jump into the twitch chat so I will let us know soon
[15.00 --> 21.66] all right so welcome to the WAN show guys the weekly stream that happens every week come hell
[21.66 --> 28.74] or high water no matter what even if we have already been streaming for almost a continuous
[28.74 --> 37.38] 24 hours prior to the show which is what's been going on so I think we best open with a brief
[37.38 --> 44.04] introduction or a brief explanation of what the heck is going on and where we actually are for
[44.04 --> 54.48] those of you who don't know we have been live streaming and videos mod 24 which was a 24-hour
[54.48 --> 63.12] celebration of PC modding and PC gaming I know for a fact Nvidia invested a lot of money into oh
[63.12 --> 74.76] oh you've got to be kidding me the dashboard should not have ads all right maybe Amazon will get that
[74.76 --> 82.74] fixed all right so we've been down here for Nvidia's mod 24 a 24-hour celebration of PC gaming and PC
[82.74 --> 90.54] modding they invested a lot of money into the event and they asked us to to come down and host the PC
[90.54 --> 97.74] case modding competition there were a lot of really famous PC case modders including Darth Beavis is
[97.74 --> 103.44] someone that I've known for like eight years talking to him on forums I think this is the first time we've
[103.44 --> 109.74] ever actually met in person which is really cool funnily enough his rig isn't behind us but we do have
[109.74 --> 116.04] the winning rig behind us which was I think the story that went along with it was really cool was
[116.04 --> 120.66] really really special had to do with their their favorite land one of their favorite Nvidia employees
[120.66 --> 128.04] who used to come down to that land and people are saying I look exhausted guys I wonder what I wonder
[128.04 --> 135.42] why I have hardly slept in the last few days here but don't don't worry we are going to make it through
[135.42 --> 142.62] this show in spite of the fact that neither Luke nor I has actually really looked at the the stream
[142.62 --> 147.26] document no clue what's going on so we're gonna pick some highlighted topics for this week first up
[147.26 --> 156.10] is of course the launch of the GTX 980 and GTX 970 that is one of the reasons that we are down here in
[156.10 --> 162.12] California right now and we have a video up for the 980 and I think we're gonna be giving a video up
[162.12 --> 167.40] hopefully next week yeah next we're gonna hit the 970 and I don't know if this is official or not but
[167.40 --> 171.66] I kind of leaked it a little bit during the 24 stream that we might be doing some SLI testing oh we will
[171.66 --> 177.48] definitely be doing some SLI testing so next big thing that happened this week Microsoft officially
[177.48 --> 186.78] acquires Mojang so for those of you who don't know Mojang is the maker of the infamous Minecraft so what
[186.78 --> 192.06] Microsoft plans to do with Minecraft I think people either don't know or don't want to know yeah or
[192.06 --> 200.94] somewhere in between yep and then there is let's see there was something really interesting somewhere
[200.94 --> 211.14] oh no right Apple has updated their security on the iPhone on iOS to so such that if your phone is
[211.14 --> 217.26] locked even they cannot access your data which I guess is their way of absolving themselves of any
[217.26 --> 223.74] responsibility to report any of their users data to the government in such a situation as that would
[223.74 --> 232.26] be requested of them so I gotta give them massive massive kudos for that with that said the release
[232.26 --> 239.40] of iOS 8 doesn't seem to have created a whole ton of fanfare amidst the community so it seems to be a
[239.40 --> 245.66] lot of under the hood improvements without a ton of you know huge graphical changes like we saw in iOS 7
[245.66 --> 254.94] so why don't we call that our main topics roll the intro and I finally found it that's cool and get this show on the road yeah
[269.40 --> 271.48] for you
[299.40 --> 306.40] you
[318.72 --> 323.28] you can sign up as where space dot com slash line is these offer code line is
[323.28 --> 324.12] to save
[324.12 --> 327.52] 10 percent on your own beautiful customizable
[327.52 --> 330.56] website so we have only got
[330.56 --> 334.76] see 75 minutes battery so we're gonna have to kinda fly through our topics
[334.76 --> 335.28] today
[335.28 --> 339.64] and and do our best to to cover them as well as we can especially given we have
[339.64 --> 343.34] no idea we're talking about so for gtx 980 which is actually our first topic you
[343.34 --> 344.70] can check out our YouTube video
[344.70 --> 349.02] so we can fly past this one pretty quick and also the gtx 970 launch we having a
[349.02 --> 351.92] video coming next week so I don't think we need to talk a ton about these
[351.92 --> 355.20] individual well they are kind of important they are kind of important
[355.20 --> 358.56] that is true should we talk about them yeah I think I think it might not be it
[358.56 --> 361.80] might not be a terrible idea so in our performance testing in the YouTube video
[361.80 --> 366.66] we found that 980 and 780 ti go pretty toe-to-toe in a lot of different
[366.66 --> 373.58] situations but then 980 crushes 780 ti in power efficiency yeah so the to be clear
