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.

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...
