I first got really heavy into PC Hardware in 2008-2014, and while there were only 2 serious GPU manufacturers back then; the incredible custom cards AIB's created made it feel like there were 3 or 4 players in the space. Let's talk about how great custom cards used to be... https://www.techpowerup.com/review/powercolor-hd-6870-x2/27.html https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/powercolor-hd-6870-x2.b525 https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-hd-6850-x2.c1698 https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/powercolor-hd-6870-x2.b525 https://youtu.be/EjzqLmgb8ig https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-radeon-hd-7970-ghz-edition-100351txsr/p/N82E16814102997 https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/afox-hd-7850-low-profile.b839 https://www.tomshw.it/files/2012/06/collezioni/1631/29631_b.jpg Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Chris and Tom talk come together to talk about what really makes a good GPU, and then of course end up talking about a bunch of other stuff as usual. This includes when raytracing will be practical, good game design, and the idea that Next Gen consoles may actually be held back by the stagnating PC market...

In this episode Tom and Dan kick back and discuss just how crazy the next 5-10 years in Computer Hardware is going to be.
