Podcast #722 -16GB RTX 4060 SKU, Big Hard Drives Failing Faster, DDR4 Price Drops Again, Hacking & AI + more!
Another podcast has occurred, and we had more to talk about than originally anticipated. Such as that MSI hack which keeps on giving and if you’ve got a flickering monitor – check your chair! MS and AMD vs Nvidia, large hard drives die faster, PC game making is actually profitable and does real gaming need 16GB of VRAM?
Also go search for the live stream that Sebastian did earlier in the week – old skool PC building with unkeyed cables – much fun!
