Podcast #718 – RTX 4070 FE Review, Fosi Audio BT20A Pro Amp, AMD Enthusiast Much?, PC Shipments + more!

Help us drive the experience, you know you want that.  Because it’s been another week, and we have another new hardware launch to talk about!
Yes, it’s the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, and we looked at the Founders Edition card beforehand to find out just how much like an RTX 3080 it really is.

Jeremy continues to review things, and this time he has an update to the surprisingly good Fosi Audio amp he reviewed last year – and this BT20A Pro is apparently the real deal. AMD wants to make sure you know if you’re a real PC enthusiast or not, PC shipments are … in flux, plus we also discussed news and various other topics, found in the list below.

And our sponsor for this week!
