no I was do we even have room for I I definitely when I want to bring up our
topic to which is Brad talking about a AMD's APA let's do it for you I would
hear about this okay so basically AMD has been you know all year pretty much
talked to him to CES now already big in the drum banging the drum about how so
much of the gaming world these days is eSports right call of duty league of
legends dota millions of people play them every day and they've been beating
the germ about how very affordable there ap use can make a PC that's capable of
running eSports you know you mean like that's about this one yeah basically
like the pc version of an xbox one yeah uh so they offered to send me a little
machine that they developed in conjunction with the professional gamers
at fanatic um that's powered by an AMD a10 7860 k and said hey just take this
try it out let us know what you think or the total cost on it uh four hundred and
seventy dollars not including operating system okay is it like a mini ITX
machine yeah it was real small it was so small actually that I tested it by
putting on top of our GPUs test machine actually it was just see it was like
eight inches by 9 inches by you know two or three inches super small so the idea
was to make something that could run eSports he could bring it to a LAN party
that was basically the reason they made it um and I was actually pleasantly
surprised it actually could run eSports no problem uh I mean you wouldn't get
what PC gamers who had dedicated graphics cards and spent four hundred
dollars on monitor would expect for frame rates but uh you could easily play
league of legends of everything a very high over 60 frames per second the
entire time um dota2 you had to knock it down to medium at 720p but you could
still get 60 frames a second uh ran counter strike just fine 1080p on medium
nearly 60 frames a second it was really eye-opening to see that you know
integrated graphics or capable of running these games at you know playable
framerate say although you have to take it with the settings a bit I haven't got
over watching a rainbow 6 siege to run on it wow how did that look though
um it didn't look great like I was saying but you could use it like if you
don't have much money you can run these games on this you know what i don't
understand those i mean you're saying it's for eSports I get it eSports big
thing but I generally think he sports means competition that really sounds
more like budget good budget gaming to me but is that well esports esports
doesn't mean competition but I mean look you know 20 million people are playing
dota 2 in csgo every day how many of those are actually competing they're
just people who want to play games and they have fun playing games so this is a
solution that you could you know build this whole pc for under 500 bucks you
know 470 bucks whatever was and if you wanted to not have the form factor you
can probably get that down to 400 bucks and uh it's really amazing that you can
play these games at 60 frames a second with a little bit of tinkering sometimes
you got jumping down to low sometimes you gotta drop them down to 720p but I
mean if you're on that kind of budget I mean that's the kind of sacrifices that
you're probably looking to make anyway well it seems like an interesting
opportunity for a living room machine to write because if you set that up with
steam you could also stream stream stuff to it from your real pc in the other
room if you wanted to have a second reel like instead of putting a steam link or
something in there you could have a real computer you actually play real games on
well in a couple episodes ago we had one of our editors so Elena bring on the the
new nuk nuke whatever else skull really nuggets how they say it it's uh I would
say why do they not call it nuke it's not nuke is such a cooler name behind a
new know what's wrong robocop 2 man we go out and get nuked after this show I
think it's a fail barnes and nobles name it's oh yeah yeah look yeah i think it's
nuke nuk nuk it should be a nuke it would be better to take a chance here
man its nuclear ya know i did your new killer yeah but that was yeah that was I
how does it compare bread then cuz I mean um well I wasn't really comparing
this wasn't like a full review of the systems this was a system that they put
together a bunch of parts they design their own system from parsley you could
put together yourself DIY so I didn't think it was fair to compare something
like that against the look I was solely looking at eSports performance because
that's what they were banging the drum about these Jaffa graphics were for
all all you know like a year now and never had a chance to actually test that
I was focused specifically on whether or not don't actually do what they're
saying you know let you play these super popular video games for very little bit
of money but it would I I can tell you with the Intel nuke nuk and I was blown
away that would we would smoke it easily I mean yeah definitely but their deals a
barebone system that starts at like 400 bucks right so we had a brick bring
everything but the chip right yeah the Intel until one is the rectangular you
know quad-core sakai VHS tape iris pro 580 okay you know it's it's five hundred
dollars we've got a HD 4000 right no it's beyond no it's cuz it's skylight
graphics okay so it's got 72 e use its you know i can tell you i know that at a
1058 set I forget what then the number is but I have the one I had a chip that
was one step above Brad's and abroad will see a broad well desktop part would
would definitely smoke that as well okay yeah but those parts start at the same
price right so just the entire cpu costs much I mean this is like it's twice as
fast i dint Oh prices yeah so it's it's it's is it really and then of course
would you really do that you know thousand dollars or would you rather go
out and get a you know RX 470 system and get a lot more performance out of it i I
have been known to chuck a nuke in my bag when I'm traveling for a long time
so i can play spelunky on hotel tvs really yeah yeah Splunk e oh that's one
of the best games ever nothing runs on anything yeah you wouldn't play that on
your laptop and said it's not the same and i don't i have a mac so I don't have
the weird dongle yeah okay it's a really nice computer Gordon gonna talk about it
some no no okay I'm sure it's better best desktop OS really I thinks I'm not
sure I does run Windows I it's not windows 7 and Linux you can run linux on
there I like Windows 7 a lot yeah actually windows seven that kind of miss
a good time I do miss windows seven um d and also I guess you know mentioning the
470 so aim d also talk about the RX for 60 and 470 last week this week all right
so yeah TPP AMD announced you know hey we already announced the
two-hundred-dollar our x 480 it'll give you the
already performance to 200 bucks and then at e3 during the pc gaming show
which they sponsored Lisa Sulu the CEO of AMD came on stage and held up the two
graphics card and said okay here's the 470 and here's the 460 this is the rest
the full lineup of the Polaris family um they didn't reveal anything other than
that they just said Hades exists they didn't say well although you know the
hub of a price they even say they didn't announce prices they said the 470 should
deliver 60 FPS 1090 gaming whereas the 460 is better for eSports on this topic
um but the most interesting thing from That is that she Lisa suit who announced
it as the full Polaris family so a lot of people were hoping for a 492 go
head-to-head with the GTX 970 and judging by a verbiage it doesn't look
like that's going to happen anytime soon probably gonna be waiting towards the
end of the year frame these new Vega jip's hmm that's a long ways away yeah
they're definitely they say they're going for the mainstream and it looks
like they definitely are but I guess they don't have to worry about it since
nobody can buy 1070 right now right i mean there's like ain't none out there
well if you buy a pc you can get one yeah when you buy pc yet but i am not
seeing any 10 70s on sale right they're all they're all they're all they're all
sold out everywhere yeah you gotta like see them someone tweet about it at like
ten o'clock in the morning and buy one in the next five minutes if you want to
get one yeah this is the time I mean these are all new man everything's
always short supply for the first month give it a month what and there's a
reason to buy new video cards for the first time in forever right it's yeah
wait is that a frozen reference no first time in forever see she's not your
daughter's not into me i watch frozen a lot yeah i know i do i'm talking about
ask her about first time in France is this all the time again I'm over and
he'll say something to be like you don't get the reference let's talk about big
here at six I can talk about big hero 6 I actually do you know the reference of
the title of this show the full nerd now now we can I don't think we can say we
can we may surprise Campbell's now people can be really upset with you yeah
are you know I I you know you take your pants off is a full-body reference no no
okay he's wearing shorts already it's pretty hot i'm on camera I'm not even
wearing pants but they'll do it bad that's the way I mean working from home
