[1173.46 --> 1174.44] messages through here. |
[1175.00 --> 1178.32] Um, and it just said something like, yeah, you need to go on the, you need to go on the |
[1178.32 --> 1181.46] Twitter page if you want to, or the Twitter account, if you need to send a message. |
[1181.46 --> 1187.96] Um, and I, wow, I just, I have no, I should, I should, honestly, I should be screen sharing |
[1187.96 --> 1190.20] right now because you guys would find this pretty funny. |
[1190.52 --> 1192.50] I have no idea how to use Facebook. |
[1192.90 --> 1194.02] How do I Facebook? |
[1194.78 --> 1198.36] You may, maybe you used to, and then as soon as you had a kid, it just left you. |
[1198.60 --> 1199.42] Now you're old people. |
[1199.48 --> 1200.04] I just never did. |
[1200.10 --> 1202.12] I just actually never cared, like at all. |
[1203.12 --> 1205.36] Um, yeah, I don't know. |
[1205.42 --> 1209.84] But anyway, so the point is I do use Messenger, but it's usually just to be like, oh yeah, that |
[1209.84 --> 1213.18] person that I met at like badminton at the rec center a couple of weeks ago. |
[1213.80 --> 1215.18] Uh, what was their name again? |
[1215.30 --> 1215.72] Oh, right. |
[1215.82 --> 1217.14] Maybe I'll see if I can get in touch with them. |
[1217.72 --> 1217.96] Yeah. |
[1218.62 --> 1223.88] One Facebook Messenger feature I like is that you can make it your default SMS app on Android |
[1223.88 --> 1224.20] anyway. |
[1224.42 --> 1228.94] So you could type in someone's name and then choose to message them via Facebook or through |
[1228.94 --> 1233.22] like regular texting, which is sweet because then you only have one app for both purposes. |
[1234.02 --> 1235.24] But it also kind of sucks. |
[1235.42 --> 1237.12] So I eventually switched back to not doing that. |
[1238.08 --> 1238.88] All right. |
[1238.88 --> 1242.34] So why don't we jump into the next thing that I'm super mad about? |
[1242.84 --> 1247.68] Um, the original article here is from Anantek and this was posted by Aluminium Tech on the |
[1247.68 --> 1248.00] forum. |
[1248.62 --> 1249.34] Once again. |
[1251.04 --> 1251.72] All right. |
[1253.96 --> 1256.88] This is really dumb and really frustrating. |
[1257.10 --> 1260.94] And it's not the first time that this has been done by either AMD or NVIDIA. |
[1261.42 --> 1267.22] And so, right, to be clear, even though it's NVIDIA doing it this time, AMD has done it |
[1267.22 --> 1267.84] in the past. |
[1268.22 --> 1270.32] Neither of them is getting a free pass here. |
[1270.32 --> 1274.28] And this behavior is absolutely 100% unacceptable. |
[1274.60 --> 1276.74] It's right in the headline. |
[1277.02 --> 1285.94] NVIDIA quietly rolls out slower, lower TDP GeForce GT 1030 with DDR4 VRAM. |
[1285.94 --> 1297.30] Now, to be clear, the GT 1030 is not some kind of pillar of gaming cards or anything like that. |
[1297.30 --> 1302.10] And you wouldn't expect to be running the latest games at the highest settings, at the highest |
[1302.10 --> 1303.24] resolutions with them. |
[1303.24 --> 1313.34] But, you would expect that if you bought a GT 1030, that what you got out of the box would |
[1313.34 --> 1316.36] be similar to someone else's GT 1030. |
[1316.60 --> 1321.26] And I would make the argument that if you look a little bit closer at these specs here, look |
[1321.26 --> 1321.58] at this. |
[1321.58 --> 1328.06] memory that is running at one third of the speed. |
[1329.42 --> 1329.78] Huh. |
[1330.54 --> 1331.72] Oh, man. |
[1332.00 --> 1340.48] Not to mention, at lower base and boost clocks with a completely different memory technology. |
[1340.48 --> 1344.32] So, we're talking DDR4 versus GDDR5. |
[1346.40 --> 1350.02] I would make the assumption that that is not what you would expect. |
[1350.82 --> 1355.30] And that that is going to make some difference to the gaming experience. |
[1355.58 --> 1361.38] And that if you are buying a dedicated graphics card, you probably care at least somewhat about |
[1361.38 --> 1362.58] the gaming experience. |
[1362.58 --> 1367.06] Is it true that these systems, the systems that will be running these low-end cards, |
[1367.06 --> 1373.66] as discreet as they may be, won't actually be able to really reap the benefits of GDDR5 |
[1373.66 --> 1374.58] anyway? |
[1375.24 --> 1376.84] So, it's not a huge loss. |
[1377.22 --> 1377.48] Okay. |
[1378.02 --> 1385.00] So, you could make the argument that the way that a review site, like us, or an on-tech, |
[1385.00 --> 1391.92] or whoever else, would typically benchmark a card like this is not necessarily a very real |
[1391.92 --> 1392.26] world. |
[1392.52 --> 1396.74] Because what we'll do, and we've taken a lot of flack for this over the years. |
[1396.74 --> 1399.40] Presumably from people who don't understand why we do it this way. |
[1399.68 --> 1404.36] But what we'll typically do is we'll take the highest-end processor on the market, and |
[1404.36 --> 1407.12] we'll throw a GT 1030 on it. |
[1408.24 --> 1413.50] And then we'll report our results with the GT 1030 compared to some other graphics cards. |
[1413.56 --> 1415.32] You know, whatever suite of cards we decide to test. |
[1415.90 --> 1421.28] And the fatal flaw that people feel like they're pointing out for us is that no one would install |
[1421.28 --> 1425.60] a GT 1030 on a $2,000 7980 XC 18 car extreme edition. |
[1427.60 --> 1435.96] But the problem is that if we use anything else, we lose track of the difference between |
[1435.96 --> 1437.32] these graphics cards. |
[1437.54 --> 1441.82] Because what might happen is the higher-end ones might end up bottlenecked, so it doesn't |
[1441.82 --> 1448.08] give you a clear idea of the value-per-dollar prospect of each card. |
[1448.08 --> 1450.38] You're trying to remove the CPU as a variable altogether. |
[1450.86 --> 1451.18] Yes. |
[1451.66 --> 1453.64] So it's as fast as possible. |
[1457.00 --> 1462.92] Now, with that said, it is possible that in the kind of system someone might install |
[1462.92 --> 1467.28] one of these in, you might not see as much of a difference. |
[1467.62 --> 1469.80] But I think you would probably see a difference. |
[1469.80 --> 1475.58] Especially because GPU memory has an impact on the GPU's ability to load in textures, for |
[1475.58 --> 1475.98] example. |
[1476.20 --> 1479.30] So it might affect the detail level that you can run at. |
[1479.72 --> 1482.78] Now, this might be completely naive and ignorant. |
[1483.02 --> 1488.54] But does the type of memory impact the TDP of the graphics card? |
[1488.70 --> 1490.12] So it depends. |
[1490.18 --> 1491.90] It depends on the clock speed it's running at. |
[1491.90 --> 1493.90] It depends on the... |
[1493.90 --> 1496.30] I think it... |
[1496.30 --> 1497.78] Yeah, it depends how many chips you're running. |
[1498.04 --> 1499.74] It depends on... |
[1499.74 --> 1501.44] Yeah, mainly that. |
[1501.50 --> 1502.10] It depends on the... |
[1502.10 --> 1503.74] Yeah, it depends on the tech that's being used. |
[1504.16 --> 1508.82] Because you could also make an argument that it's better to have a lower TDP GPU. |
[1509.16 --> 1512.96] Like, if you're looking to get a 1030 and the kind of system that's going to run it, |
[1513.00 --> 1517.42] you might actually want that lower TDP more than you want the extra memory. |
[1517.42 --> 1520.00] So that is possible. |
[1521.76 --> 1525.36] But in that case, what I'd like to see is a separate SKU. |
[1525.64 --> 1530.42] I ended up arguing with Sapphire on the phone about... |
