Hey welcome to Zach's Tech Turf and Weekly Download #87.
Today I'm gonna be playing some Far Cry 5 when I give you this news, my cup of coffee
is actually brewing right now, make sure you guys let me know in the comment section what
you're sippin' on, let's get into it!
To start off the tech news, just like we expected, ASRock has officially jumped into the graphics
card market, and it's obviously some pretty good timing because we need all the GPU manufacturers
that we can get.
SO far they've only teamed up with AMD as their new Phantom Gaming Card line will only
be available with the RX 550, 560, 570 and 580.
ASRock didn't specifically say when the new cards will come to stores or online for
purchase, but hopefully it's sooner rather than later.
Xiaomi is jumping into the PC gaming market, yea the Chinese smartphones, as they recently
unveiled their Mi Gaming Laptop.
This laptop is featuring a 1080p resolution with an i7 7700HQ and a GTX 1050 Ti and will
be sold for $955.
That's their cheaper version, but either way that's actually not a great price, you
can find that kind of configuration these days for well under $1000, but I'm assuming
that's because they aren't well established in the market yet.
They've definitely brought some solid budget smartphones to the world so I'm not really
doubting them in this market as well.
And to already wrap up the tech news for the week, Nvidia CEO announced in a pre-GTC interview,
yet again, that graphics card prices are most likely not returning to normal any time soon.
The CEO says that the supply chain and Nvidia partners are working around the clock but
they simply aren't even close to meeting the demand.
I've recently seen some videos from other tech YouTubers stating that they this the
GPU apocalypse is gonna end soon, I definitely hope they're right, but I just don't like
how they are kind of spreading this false assumption when no one really knows.
I hope you didn't get your hopes up for this.
Make sure you check out my video about the Top 3 Budget Graphics card videos, because
there are definitely some affordable options still out there.
To start off the PC gaming news with probably my favorite news of the week, PC Building
Simulator has finally dropped on Early Access on steam, and I actually already bought it.
The game is exactly what it sounds like, it's a simulator for building PC's, and there's
even some RPG elements where you're fixing customer computers to make money for your
business.
I also think that this will be an excellent guide for first time PC builders, but I'm
going to make an entire video on this here soon so make sure you're subscribed for
that.
Next up we found out this week that No Man's Sky is getting yet another update called NEXT,
and apparently it's the biggest update they've ever done.
Why am I always reporting about No Man's Sky you may ask.
Well honestly i've been kinda secretly rooting for their success because I love their story.
No Man's Sky launched in the worst possible way I've ever seen from PC gaming, but they've
stayed committed to developing their game and it's becoming better and better, which
is unfortunately weird to hear in PC gaming.
I'm all for it, I hope they create the best possible space exploration game that they
can, and this latest update will be released in the summer of this year.
Moving on to some more game news, Electronic Arts showeed us the process behind their AI
testing in Battlefield 1, and it's actually pretty interesting if you're into that kind
of thing.
They showed this video about how these AI bots are constantly learning to play the game
based off previous matches, and it's a major technology that we'll definitely be seeing
in the future of video games.
There are so many games out there with terrible AI but it will only get more realistic.
There's still a long way to go, as you can see right here in this video, but it's still
very cool to see how they're doing all this stuff.
Fortnite is now giving away even more gear to Twitch Prime subscribers, AKA anyone that
has an active Amazon prime account.
THey are already giving away an entire outfit and slipstream glider, but they also now added
the Instigator Pickaxe which completes the set.
Just thought you guys should know this because virtually everyone is playing Fortnite, and
by the way, make sure you check out my Fortnite with Budget Graphics Card video if you're
gaming on a budget build but still wanna hop into the action.
And finally to wrap up the PC gaming news for the week, Spec Ops The Line is the latest
free game featured on the Humble Store, so go grab that one now if you don't already
have it.
I've heard so many good things about this game, I personally haven't played it yet,
but hey, it's another free game to add to your library.
Well that wraps up Weekly Download episode number 87.
