just when you thought all of the hardware announcements were done for the year at least I kind of did or hoped because it's been non-stop since May now there's still more so fractal has a new defined CSeries case we'll be talking about that briefly this Hardware news recap there's a rumor to AMD rx4 70d again rumored but we'll talk about what we have on that so far and then also some potential alleged leaks on a 1050 ti mobile as in 1050 TI notebook GPU mobile probably not the best word anymore because no longer the m suffix branding before getting to that this coverage is brought to you by AMD's athlon x4 ATK cpu and now available with the company's quiet cooler for under a hundred dollars on newegg pair that with an FM two plus board for a budget gaming solution link in the description below for more information so first up for this week there are more rumors about an RX for 70d it's also been called a 465 it's been called the 4 70 s ii but we're going to go with the name for 70d for now so the the update versus previous rumors that we discussed on tgw the update is basically that the card has now been photographed allegedly anyway so this is a card that would be positioned around where the 1050 ti currently rests and the rumored for seven TD was leaked by chinese website pc online who claimed to have photos of sapphires for 17 nitro card next to the existing 417 on d nitro the 470 d if these rumors are to be believed would run a shader count of 1792 vs the arch for 70s 2048 or reduction of about thirteen percent in shader core account the card is also rumored to operate at 1266 megahertz boost keeping a 4 gigabyte frame buffer on a 256-bit interface power draw will be the biggest differentiator between the 1050 TI and RX for 7th ed if these rumors are to be believed anyway but the RX for 7th ed should theoretically outpace 1050 TI based on these specs this would put AMD back into competition at the low end where its RX 460 recently became embattled with the 1050 and 1050 TI the next news item is more alleged leaks these come from laptop media who they're testing a 1050 TI notebook device and we know that there is a 1050 TI that will eventually end up in notebooks it just makes sense it's a really good fit in terms of the stack because the 1060 it offers good performance but it's almost too good for 1080p gaming on a notebook if you could instead sacrifice some of that performance ability and go instead for better power draw which a 1050 TI would allow it makes a lot of sense for 1080p gaming on notebooks where you're more concerned potentially about the battery life and things like that than almost anything else and that is especially the case when you're talking about non-gaming scenarios which of course matters with a notebook in its post laptop media indicates that the GP 107 notebook GPU will operate with a boosted clock of 16 24 megahertz and with 768 cuda cores at leveraging a 112 the gigabyte per second memory bandwidth for its 4 gigabytes of memory the specs are largely the same as what we've seen with the desktop units and that's to be expected for this generation this year desktop components aren't being nerfed quite as hard as in the past for use and laptops and that again is heralded by the lack of the M Brandon on these mobile GPUs and laptop media alleges a ten percent performance increase of the 1050 ti over the 970 m of course we hope to independently benchmark attenders DTI notebooks once they're made available to us I don't have any yet but we've already looked at the 1060 1070 and 1080 notebooks at least with varying levels of depth but especially the 1060 and hopefully the 1050 ti will bring some power consumption savings because that's always the point of concern with any notebook but the next news item is not a leak or a rumor or any allegations it is fractals need to find C Series cases so the define see cases were announced just recently in the past week or so there are a couple of different versions of them i think for there's the fractal to find see the define see with a window same thing just with a window and you lose some of the padding for noise purposes and then there are the smaller versions the mini c and the mini see with a window which is basically for micro ATX but is otherwise more or less the same case you have so you lose a few features for height but it is smaller the define see uses fractals minimalistic approach to design for what we've seen so far that includes side panels that offer minimal breathing ventilation to reduce noise escaping from the case so a traditional trade-off where it's a bit more discreet but it's also going to be words that cooling the define see includes 11 20 millimeter fan in the front 11 20 millimeter fan in the rear of the case for exhaust and options for up to two more 120's in the front to that 121 40s in the top and a bottom 120 millimeter fan liquid cooling support maxes out at a three sixty millimeter radiator though it is pushing it a bit depending on what the specific radiator sizing is the case can also support to 80 millimeter radiators the final bit of news is more of a PSA at these are driver updates so Nvidia and AMD both this week push driver updates for their existing packages both of which are hot fixes the AMD hotfix first it's 16 dot 11 is the new driver package but they're already on 16 11 2 and that hotfix include shader cash optimization so the shader cash now has more storage and that should theoretically improve performance and more extreme scenarios and that driver contains the same updates at 16 11 brought including call of duty infant warfare calls duty modern warfare remastered titanfall to Battlefield one that was already pushed with 1610 so that's all in there if you have an MD device you're playing any of those games or you could benefit from shader cash changes then grab 16mm to that should be available on their site now the next change Nvidia's hotfix 375 dot 76 driver resolves the issues with high refresh monitor flickering so if you have a high refresh rate display that has had some flickering black flickering lately when you're playing games or even not that is in theory resolve this driver update and you should just download and install it because other than that it's all basically the same updates for Battlefield call of duty abduction all those games that you would expect it to have if you're not having issues and you're on some 37 dot whatever drivers cheese that's come out recently you're probably fine if it's not broke I guess don't fix it is the same so if your performance is not having issues if your card is not broken then probably leave it alone but if you could benefit from the Refresh fixes then grab it there's also some jiff artifacting fixes so if you have animated gifs and those are artifacting oddly that actually might be called caused by video drivers which is not something that we normally think of when we see that so that's all for this video patreon like the post-show video helps out directly links below for more informations that'd do that one subscribe for more I'll see you all next time
