we should be I'm gonna get up the charmagne where's this your man the bottom on the bottom shelf it and I got a Jeff you've got to blast it right in your eye Kyle hello hello everyone I really I sure hope I'm doing things properly right now because I could easily be screwing things up but hi guys welcome this is awesome hardware and we should hopefully be live to youtube on my channel paul's hardware a lot more switches to yeah that's that's right okay yeah we're live cool this is double-checking good if you can't tell by the little counter thats that's down there down there in the bottom of corner i am on the cusp a paint of hitting 1 million subscribers and somehow after run it doing my youtube channel for years and years this is happening to occur on a tuesday evening coinciding with us doing our live show which is I just think it's super special it is pretty awesome super special we're at 999 9:57 as of right now but let me quickly do the rest of the intro to our show this is awesome hardware it's a live show we stream to twitch TV / awesome hardware the entire show but we also stream to YouTube twitch that YouTube video and my channel balls hardware it for faces

also have stores if you want to help support us do it I mean thank you all for supporting us as you have with with the subscriptions and everything but my story is false I read that net you can buy stuff there Kyle store is bit wit tech slash store you can also buy stuff there well thank you by shouting at your name and yelling Johnson during the after party was just coming later where we're gonna play apex legends that's gonna be super awesome great time to buy the beware of bottleneck shirt oh yeah yeah this is it's coming up right now because Kyle's got the shimei ready to go the exact same bottle we are celebrating prematurely okay okay oh yeah yep got no blood has briefed that is brief it's fine my lovely wife has returned home yay all right what's next what what's going on i I'm allowed to stop thinking dang it hello is my wife and he's only 30 subs away and soon 30 yet nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred and sixty nine thirty so let's just keep it at 69 a nice haha alright what am i the hell's going on just four oh wow all right I I just have a news segment for my half I'm gonna try to crank through the news it's giddy well there's there's news no you can get through like one or two I'm gonna do it right now stuff for news notebook check do it del might have accidentally just leaked either an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 2050 or and Archie X 2050 this is actually reporter this is actually reported by a reader from the notebook check net website who was looking at details of this upcoming del G 515 gaming laptop 15-inch g5 found that if you there's a little asterisk down here so it's talking about the ports and slots on there the number nine listed thing here is USB C display port slash USB C Thunderbolt and there's a little asterisk you know if you click on the asterisk this is a little pop-up it says oh and it will be on says the USB see thunder bowl will be on systems that are KX 2060 then display part will be on systems with in RTX 2015 nailed it RTX 2015 you're fired has not been anounced to anything so there's multiple possibilities here one of course being that you know that it was a typo they just they meant to put gtx 1050 TI or something like that probably not because they were talking about next-gen laptops there's also of course possibility that this does exist and that they had the information and it was just a web page that wasn't updated properly 17 to go I know 17 it's alright oh no here's team to go here's the dog here oh he's he's so happy right now he just he probably just went potty okay so it would be kind of interesting to see an RT X 2050 tensor course for ray tracing and stuff like that like what like should that be a thing should that exist you're so distracting right now talk about important i'm news this is news worthy information i'm only twisting the the thing the the foil with every sub 11 to go 1100 that's insane it's a twist oh oh oh someone unsub's I got a twisting to do with that I'm tightening it I'm tightening it when it pops off what are you gonna do I'm gonna scream and run and get to pound the rest of your beer in there and of course I'm totally fine this is this is intense this is intense beer we it's going down it's going down alright awesome people I'm tightening the model this is I'm tightening it back yeah we have enough time now to get to get to the story then okay perfect speculation that they might take the 1660 TI the the gtx 660ti rebrand it as a mobile GPU as an RT x 2050 you know the the the the protections off this is 994 oh wow Kyle you're gonna be hammered alright it went back down I went back down that's fine it's all mines laughs wait no it's gonna hit a million a second to a million sixty okay I didn't wine myself either what the heck is going on cheers to a million cheers rock that's this amazing shit a million I'm gonna pound I'm gonna pound this celebrate a million dude resistant you're in the seven-digit Club bro dude chat whoa dude chat oh my goodness up top two million fifty three moving in 7400 it took Fred I don't know like ten subscribers and now it's all of a sudden 100 more holy shit oh how that works good lord yay yeah fuckin ceiling I may have some with it you go then that's just amazing feels good Kahn's palette all right I love now if I poured too much in mind I'll give you some now you're fine okay fine good what so what where'd you leave off I don't care about this news yeah who cares don't worry no one's even like Oh get to the next point is this is a this is a monumental achievement this is this is truly something that is historic and that I think people will remember probably for the rest of their lives everyone watching this right now you know they're gonna know we're they they're gonna their kids will ask them to tell them stories where were you when when Paul hit a million subscribers and everything the biggest thing since 9/11 I mean it's it's it's the type of thing that hasn't really happened before there's nothing comparable to this that has happened in the past that you could look back on and say that's a similar thing that's happened that you can't do that it's just it's just this right now and it's the bits the best thing ever and that's all for me as well as I made I mean I made my wife laughs okay all right so obviously you know being facetious there cuz Cowell already hit a million this cycled news for him i but now what so what but now I need to ask me ask you see cuz you you know you've been down this path before like what what happens now what would you know there's gonna be this like crazy high but then like tomorrow am I gonna wake up and be like what is my life what I do with my life now uh it's kind of like I move past this it's kind of like when you know when you're a kid and you have like you know $99 to your name and then you get a hundred and you're like whoa I have triple digit money now that's what it's like I remember that so remember that feeling that lasted for all of maybe an hour or so and then you know it's you know you hit it and you're like that was that's that that's an app I don't want to add on a downplay it I don't know them I don't want to play it down everyone I have one hour to like feel good why not hey one hour of prx2 sears unbridle is like fifty dog years oh oh well I'm I'm happy about that but I know the wife is potentially sounds amazing alright well um but yeah I'm gonna press on with with the show as planned I did plant I do have some news stories to talk about you this is an unprecedented and actually was unexpected I was kind of thinking we would get close this evening and then kind of let let things go with with a thank you and you know tomorrow hopefully wake up with a million but yeah it's really really cool to have this happen and I'll also coincide with our live show yeah which is crazy crazy timing almost have a thousand viewers on Twitch right now live that's beautiful amazing twitch to twitch on the youtubes May's balls and everything how do i how do I get back on track now wait how many viewers do you have on your chip I don't I don't I don't know Kyle I don't the after party I don't pay attention to just the numbers you know dollars 15 our viewers watching you right now 15 in YouTube which that's a they equate to dollars every viewer is yeah this is a dollar everyone donate $1 right now to Paul if all 1500 of you just donated $1 just to say congrats he would be a thousandaire just like a millionaire [Laughter] focus all right things that really matter 15 not life goals or achievements or years and years of hard work and dedication but a leaked graphics card so upshot here's this is this is this is a rumor it could easily been a typo it could be fake but at the same time we know NVIDIA is working on lower-end graphics cards if you're talking about their next generation of GPU architecture the entry-level price right now is for the 1660 TI which is two hundred and eighty dollars that's that's been coming down it was $500 for the 2070 when the 2070 in 2080 and 2080 I lodged it came down to 350 with 2060 now it's 280 there's people who still can't who to 80 is still too rich for their blood which perfectly understandable sure something in the hundred to two hundred dollar range would be nice to have yep fair to assume Nvidia is gonna do that are they going to make an Archie X card in that range I hope not I really hope not I hope they don't make an art GX card in that range because based on the reception of the existing RT x cards I don't think people are interested in some crazy premium especially at the lower end what for ray tracing and you know DL SS stuff like this there's there's there's value in advancing those technologies in the future but for people who are just looking for a good gaming experience that's that's not what they want yeah I also hope they don't continue to further like confuse the the the the naming conventions for the cards that they're doing in particular I hope they don't try to take a 1660 TI and rebadge it as an RT x 2050 for mobile that is really confusing when you start crossing over from that 1600 series that they now created somehow with the 1660 TI and the 2000 series that they have at the RT x like keep those separate yeah cuz once they start bleeding into each other it's just gonna be more confusing and people are gonna get more irritated by yeah maybe that's what they want maybe they want to sow confusion so people like spend more money for a crappy or graphics card or something but that's also stupid and we will continue to call it stupid and you guys listen to us we'll hopefully agree with that and that and then eventually things will get better that's how that's how it's supposed to work okay you know moving on we talked last week we yeah last week we talked about the USB and USB 3.0 and how stupid the USB 3.2 thing is because the way the naming things and retconning names and everything so how about throwing one more thing into the into it USB for this is a specification it has been announced so whereas USB 3.2 gen 2 by 2 is something that is like coming out this is an announcement some basic details of the specification but not the full details of the spec and this was announced by the USB promoter group and they're calling it USB for and for some reason there's no more space space yeah there's no space anymore space for what between USB and for its USB for that USB 3.0 sp3 point 2.0 three points either three days three USB and then I can highlight right there see I just highlighted that space ah oh space three point two right yes before is just war yes before use people use it was no delay no hesitation way you have to movie from the B to the for immediately and without hesitation again further clarify it's us before us of us before that's before before us before what that's before them that's before us that's before us before from like ub40 or ub40 is that like me what a gangsta says to some 40 year old you'll be 40 holy shit you old you we fed red red wine has not read right ub40 what is you before do you leave where's that written reference to yes I'm right about that what's you before tea though any groups the groups names you before the song is red red wine everyone hit wonder have they done anything else that I would know probably at any one no okay yeah so I don't know who they are era we're getting slightly it's a good one-hit wonder off subject it's a good song I mean if you're like super wasted like that's a great college yeah like when you when you're out drinking you know yeah yeah drinking college and stuff and then they put that on like red red wine or like Margaritaville and they play those and you're like oh or tequila that's right yeah I mean if you do that that just makes you feel cool yeah kind of dance longer played copyrighted songs on Twitter yeah be awesome we can just dance drink dance the sing drink tequila so us before us before that's before is actually gonna be based on Intel Thunderbolt protocol which is kind of interesting so more confusing but but confusing okay don't immediately cast that aside as confusing by using Intel Thunderbolt protocol they're able to get faster transfer speeds so we updated transfer rates at 40 gigabits per second is here why are you feeding my dog bottlecaps No Oh No zero stop it that's not a treat stop speaking my dog bottle yeah boy come here come here come here he's needy so big he's needy is it big puppy he's not a puppy he's monster he's a puppy he's monster parents both of us so we're talking about ub40 you be phoning and their hit song red red wine what that's the fastest band alive 20 gigabits per second Oh yesa QB 40 right the 40 gigabit per second no 40 okay obviously that was a planned transition okay you be 40 gigabits per second hot dance because what the band said when they were recording the red red wine we need to push through this so we can get to the after-party where this sort of behavior is acceptable this is constipation episode we're going to push but it's just not coming out exactly exactly okay so us before I yes before I have some level of hope for us before because right now it's just called us before which is much simpler than USB 3.2 Gen 2 by 2 which is what we're currently running with when we talk about the fastest thing available with this the spec that we talked about last week oh no I didn't do that that's stupid keep calling it so keep calling it yes before don't add a bunch of stupid names after that a USB promoter group and your word sir let's go over it all right just just to round things out and give people some actual information it's still going to be using type-c connectors yay it will still so the type-c connectors will be backwards compatible with USB 2.0 USB 3.2 and Thunderbolt 3 interfaces so that's cool to that maximum data transfer rate of 40 gigabits per second will require 40 gigabits per second certified cables this should however bring Thunderbolt 3 to mainstream pcs which is cool because Thunderbolt is a very fast and good connection standard for really fast external drives like Thunderbolt like there's a lot of Mac external Thunderbolt drives that that are really nice and fast like external SSDs so mm-hmm it's a good standard cool I think Danah is stirring the ball for for nori there are over 50 companies actively participating in the final stages of development of USB for let's move on cool that's fun and confusing Gebo is shutting down saying goodbye to Gebo good thing with vias fuck fullscreen took up too much space that's stupid ease is social robot he's a social robot he talks to you and everything however with no friends he's shutting down the servers that support Gebo are shutting down so if you have one he's starting to communicate sad messages to you well it's not great news the servers out there that let me do what I do are going to be turned off soon somebody says yes this is what Jibo has been telling people who bought geo quoting gee but by the way geebo I was a Kickstarter or at IndieGoGo in 2014 and 2015 right around that time frame actually went on sale in September of 2017 a few years later and was originally sold for $900 damn but they had like an Amazon fire sale forward for 500 bucks and so what a bargain yes anyways that's not great news the server's out there that let me do what I do are we going to be turned off soon once that happens our interactions with each other are going to be limited you can learn more about more Zeebo calm and by tapping me what's new button in my menu I want to say that I've really enjoyed our time together thank you very very much for having me around maybe someday when robots are way more advanced than today and everyone has then them in their homes you can tell yours I said hello I wonder if they'll be able to do this and then advances because that's one of the things that Cuba does is it dances oh yeah I forgot I forgot GMO dances to distract you that you just bought a five to five hundred to a thousand dollar product that no longer is getting support just so that's still you can still do stuff like here damn thing I would be pissed going down $1000 Jibo and he's like thanks but bye see you later we live in an age where products that you've bought and spent your hard-earned dollars for can tell you to fuck off but but when they do a little dancing chica did-ent so it's okay so that's you devos usefulness and functionality were sort of supplanted by other devices like LexA yeah so it's saying goodbye to people there was another video I was gonna plan here that actually was was the geebo and it was it was telling it was like hey hey person who bought me and who owns me now here's what I can do now and it was a really short list and I don't know when dance and I can stop anything and I could say your name sir rip Cibo no warrants no archivo and yugioh fucka in the land of the living in actual people good old games or now known as GOG yeah I was laid off around a dozen employees ooh which is about 10% of its actual staff now 120 people yeah and God GOG is a digital distribute distribution platform they listed in the 50 to 200 employee category range on LinkedIn anyway GOG is is is not a bad distribution platform and it's one of those that over the years has exhibited some positive characteristics I would say compared to like steam and whatnot so I bring this up to say not like go through your money at gog but you know consider them as an alternative they're stating that's part of the reason here no I'm sorry gog themselves has not stated that anything is wrong they said it they said yeah we laid these employees off but ever since we've been doing a rearranging they're calling it rearranging what did they call it when we were back back at the company company we used to work it they call it re re fuckery reorganization I forget anyway corporate stuff you know that I go we need to fire people so let's come up with some words that don't sound like firing that we can use to fire people episode of the office point being they've been rearranging certain reorge yeah ryoga's is common thanks Jeff we've been rearranging certain teams since October 2018 affecting and closing around a dozen positions last week they also said that they've hired people in the same term so you know there's give and take there but at least one of the employees who was let go contacted PC gamer at least in the course of this article being written stating that the reasons they were told they were let go was due to financial difficulties so you know GOG might might be having some financial troubles at this point we're not sure of course that's the word of an employee who was recently let go but again when you let go you're at liberty to say why are you firing me and you know if they like it use you suck at your job you might be like alright fair enough but sometimes like we can't afford to pay you any more than that is financial difficulties anyway the trend toward a greater revenue share for developers when it comes to these digital distribution platforms the epic game store for example offers 88% of revenue to developers which is nice developers should get a good cut that's compared to the 70% that's offered by Gog and steam put pressure on God's bottom line so there you go Wow you know gog was a very it was kind of like the under well it still is the underdog but it was actually a efficient enough underdog a popular enough one to potentially combat steam and I feel like in recent months it hasn't been doing is great and after this latest article that you've just mentioned Paul it seems like they might be losing steam well I always liked because you know they used to be good old game good old games so they would take they would take older games that were on older platforms or you know versions of Windows that weren't around anymore and they would say like alright this game nobody plays this game anymore because it's impractical to to play it yeah let's see if we can on the cheap get the license for this game poured it into our platform you know takes get get some get some programmers to go and port it over so people who use modern modern operating systems can play it and then we can sell the games you know people are willing to pay two bucks or five bucks for a game I used to play at 10 or 15 years ago that they want to try out again and they just want a seamless experience to play the game you know on their modern modern operating system so that I think that's kind of the business model that they started with it's evolved beyond that so it is a distribution platform for more games than that now but I think just in a general sense it's good to have competition for the likes of steam and origin and epic with their launcher now and everything so this being a company that spurts I think we're kind of came from a good place I think for me at least I have a bit more sympathy so you know go make your gog accountant buy a game if you're feeling that way anyway move on moving on Cinebench neck here in chat said Hiro is snoring this means this discussion must end and he is no longer me he's over he's McGee's know what he's doing is good eating stuff he's feeding stuff I don't know bottle caps there's no my wife might have given him a snack or something okay Cinebench are twenty Kyle you better download this I already have really no oh all right so Sena bitch right max son is the company that develops cinema ch excuse me yep Cinebench r15 you guys have probably seen if you've watched any videos that we or excuse me or other text use or other tech youtubers have done when you're talking about benchmarking and cpu our 20s it's a very very common CPU benchmark that's used but was getting more and more out of date because Cinebench r15 was released alongside version 15 of cinema 4d which is the software that it's based on that it uses to render the scene as your that it uses to test how fast your CPU can render that scene Maxon in the meantime has moved on from version 15 to 16 17 18 19 and 20 of their software so now we have Cinebench our 20 long to line up with with present-day version of the software there you look at that Wow this is now the scene that you'll probably see rendered ad nauseam that looks like a real picture it does look it does look very realistic that's crazy that video games will one day look like this and it's because you know it's using the CPU to render rate to do rate race I mean VR will of a light source and it bouncing up you'll be able to run this off your phone objects and everything and it'll load that good course yeah with the foldable glass LCD screen folding glass fucking crazy it's awesome ready player one so yeah this is available right now through the Windows Store or the Apple App Store on Macs you can run it on either platform if you're like ah the Windows Store that's lame booooo I kind of agree with you but there are some benefits to using the Windows Store when it comes to stuff like sandboxing and whatnot but at least as of now it doesn't seem like there is a just standalone installer version of this so there there it is but it is at least free to download and try apps they've added AVX instructions to its which is implemented through Intel's Embree ray tracing technology that applies to both AMD and Intel processors by the way so that's not something that's exclusive to Intel and this is a purely CPU focused test since the GPU focused test on the previous version was never something that was really used anyway they've just been like alright we're not even gonna bother with that CPU only it also scales beyond 64 threads now and is a larger scene in general so I have not downloaded this and ran it yet either but the article which is from an antic you has some scores for various CPUs which you guys can check out if you want you know like a 1700 X 8 core from rat the Rison gets three thousand four hundred fifty-five points eight seventy seven hundred K which is only a fork or a three gets two thousand four hundred and twenty points these are the preload scores by the way that the the benchmark ships with there's also some single core numbers here they different scores than what our 15 would put out yes it's a different test okay but you know when whenever you load up ar-15 and you run the test and it pops up to your score it always has those comparison whores right this is the precess is just the default presets you know they made the test they ran it on these CPUs they loaded with they loaded it with those by default I always wish they had more options they have like if you if you want to get fancy you can save the father's it saves like your test results oh yeah I know you can copy that from the system the system and then you can see all your history of test results in there too sure I know they did that for you me too that would be nice okay movie on man MSI monitors could save your life hmm oh this is interests that perhaps perhaps a slight exaggeration I mean this tweet actually was shared by anshel really our friend and so that's how I can travel but this is Eric again or Eric gain 98 on Twitter who posted this and he unfortunately had a shooting in his neighborhood which which sucks like like in a first-person shooter no like there was a shooting in his neighborhood that he just was oh no there's now bullets coming through my wall what's like this hole right there behind him it's it apparently was a party that was going on so like you know really really stupid people firing a gun random shots at a party yeah fire so that sucks the point being yeah there's the cops outside and everything it's real when the cops are there but the point being this is his MSI monitor it took a bullet took a bullet from this shooting and survived was he gaming on it at the time that's not made clear that was he just got shot by a random stranger MSI monitor guy hit how immersive lot the bullet and still functioning look at that it's a bullet hole in the wall aah monitor still looking perfect amazing hell yeah and if he was gaming on it while it happened I would be super that would be even more impressive he said there's a total of five shots and his and his friends room that's a feature which sucks but I am I mean I'm glad no one got he updated that there were random shots and there was a party it was a 4 a.m. orgy bullet so yeah it came through the wall and however though however MSI got interrupted it said nice to meet you social media manager got in touch basically they said they'd love to send you a new monitor and some swag that's nice so even though these msi monitor took the bullet and is still functional MSI's like hey we're gonna send you a new one we don't want you to have to deal with that monitoring with the bullet in the back but I'm gonna guess that Eric here is now gonna be rockin probably a dual monitor setup you know the one that took the bullet and still works just fine and the other side's gonna send over good job ms:i way to be on top of that social media and I warned mark this is this is where the bullet actually penetrated the monitor doesn't say what gun it was I do not believe that is made clear what's this oh yeah fans is like they rate the bullet came in and ricocheted hit the fan and stuff like that Shh this is a great samuel change it agree okay so MSN monitors they will save your life save could possibly save your life it's and the main dangers now okay Kevlar technology one more thing to mention here Kyle huh you talked on your half of the show I believe about Apex legends oh yeah stop yawning I'm not just cuz you pounded that beer I'm not no you talked about more beard how quickly apex Legends has gained players here is a this is from around Hill investments incidentally this is also from Asheville anshel I don't know if you you probably don't want our show but if you do don't you good job on your 5g coverage anyway here is apex legends versus for tonight for tonight is the green line here there's apex legends just in case you wanted a visual representation of how quickly apex Legends has gained popularity in particular in comparison to fortnight the one thing that I'm kind of sad about here is that there's no come there's no central aggregator of gaming popularity right right look it's like on Steam trusted source when steam was the only real game in town when it came to PC gaming steam was the game I mean when steam was the only real like thing that people were using to play PC games yeah which but never really was the case cuz you had World of Warcraft and other stuff like that but you know you could kind of go and that one central place and be like all right what's the most popular game all right this new game has come up there was a there was a machine I saw earlier this week that was just the history like the last 10 years of steam and like the most popular games on Steam it was basically dota 2 the whole time with other games kind of coming coming up here and there but anyway point me like fortnight apex legends they're on different platforms so you can't really look at that and be like right right for apex legends picking up this much popularity this quickly fortnight you'd have to assume is is some has seen some players leave but anyway at direct comparison I think would be interesting to see yeah but of course we can't do that and you know that figure right there that 200 million for a fortnight includes mobile all the mobile downloads and games yes whereas apex is strictly on one platform PC and 49 exigence is also on console I'm sorry fortnight is I'm sorry apex is that that number that figure accounts for the three platforms Xbox ps4 PC whereas fortnight all the figures you're seeing here account for the mobile version of it as well yes the mobile version does give many many more players access many many more so there you go many many but there it is that's linked in the description if you guys want to look at the tweet itself we are gonna end my half of the show though so thank you so much for watching this has been amazing thank you
