Podcast #808 – RTX 5080 Performance, RTX 5090 Power, RX 9070 Pricing, GTX Driver Support, Windows Forced Updating and MORE
Brett couldn’t make it again, we swear he’s still alive though. It’s quite a lot about the latest Nvidia GPUs, power and performance numbers and value. You GTX 10 series is going to be left behind soon, Windows is forcing some updates, and QNAP actually fixes something. All that and so much more! Check out the timestamps for topics.
