don't trust nvidia's GPU listings the
world's smartest VR headsets here and oh
maybe a price drop on the 4080 let's get
into hot news everybody I'm your bright
host we're going to be going over the
hottest Tech news like find on the
internet while you enjoy your breakfast
don't forget we are giving away this
gaming PC right here with the 5800x a
6800 XT sponsored by aceitech in case

join us over on our twitch Channel you
just have to watch the stream to get
points to earn tickets to get into the
giveaway it's it's free entry it's free
real estate free gaming PC let's go I'm
excited about that and a little less
excited about nvidia's practices when it
comes to naming their gpus we've seen a
lot of fan uproar when it comes to them
naming the 4080 16 gig and the 4080 12
gig and then everybody got upset and
Nvidia called it the 4070 TI instead and
I wish we could get a little bit of that
for the mobile sector because testing is
revealing kind of what everybody knew
all along that the names on the mobile
graphics cards are essentially
meaningless and don't really matter so
testing was done with two different
laptops one had an RTX 4090 and one had
an RTX 4080 and what this testing showed
was that depending on what specification
of 4080 or 40 90 you might buy well the
4080 could just be better than the 4090
showing right here the dark green line
being the 4090 the light green line
being the 4080 you can see at some
points the 4080 is higher than some
points of the 49. let me walk you
through this so the minimum wattage that
an RTX 4090 can run at is 80 watts and
Nvidia will still sell that to you in a
laptop as an RTX 4090 the maximum that
it can run at is 150 watts that's still
an RTX 4090 and then there are Shades in
between at what wattage your specific
laptop is actually going to be able to
run at the same is true for the RTX 4080
and what they're testing showed is that
a full 4 RTX 4890 is still the fastest
mobile GPU that you can get but a full
bore RTX 4080 is only nine percent
slower and then if you look at an RTX
1490 that's running at 80 Watts well the
4080 is going to beat it out until it's
about at 90 Watts with them getting
really close to parity at that 80 watt
Mark the 4080 however can go even lower
down to 60 watts which means that the
4080 has a huge disparity between its
fastest and slowest model which didn't
used to be an issue Nvidia used to
actually more succinctly distinguish
what's going on in the mobile Department
with Max p and Max q and they had
different designations for what they
would call those things but now they
have stripped those away and if you want
an RTX 4090 you could potentially be
getting something that is worse than an
RTX 4080 and it takes a well-informed
well-researched customer in order to
know the difference and seems to be like
Nvidia is doing that because because it
will likely drive more sales of a higher
end spec even if the performance is
worse than something that you could get
with a different name it's very easy to
imagine scenarios where somebody goes in
buys based on name alone and then ends
up walking away with an inferior product
because Nvidia is trying to just get you
to buy it based on name alone does this
would you like to see it change do you
have suggestions for how Nvidia could
potentially be more forthright with
their customers and how they should
designate things should there be a
wattage designation to the graphics card
when it's being sold let me know what
you think and how to solve this down
below in the comments but that's not the
only negative news that we got coming
out about Nvidia in case you use GeForce
experience you need to update it like
right now because there have been
reports that there's some severe
security vulnerabilities on GeForce
experience which can allow for data
execution data collection denial of
service to take place as well as an
execution of dlls because there's an
uncontrolled search path vulnerability
in the client installer it's not a great
situation this is for all GeForce
experience this is before
327.00112 which happens to be the
revision that they released on January
30th so if you have not updated your
GeForce now in the last two weeks it is
time for you to do that because there
are some severe security vulnerabilities
that you could potentially be befalled
into but fall into that you could be
felt to and I'm gonna Feld Reese hey
friends welcome back to YouTube let's
bring the hottest Tech deals on the
internet and happy freaking Valentine's
Day you sexy people you're all my
Valentines now that's how this works and
I brought you gifts in the form of deals
starting with the Govi dreamview TV
combo featuring LED backlights light
bars and a downward facing camera that
actually Maps the lights to whatever
you're seeing on screen the perfect
option for setting the mood and at only
99.99 it's 50 off and then secondly we
have the Elgato steam deck Mark II with
its 15 macro keys I have one here and I
use it to control everything I love it
these hardly ever go on sale but you can
currently pick one up for 119.99 which
is 30 or 20 off and then lastly we have
the Dell
s2721qs featuring the trippiest
wallpaper I've ever seen on a monitor
listing this 27 inch 4K IPS monitor is
going for only 249.99 which is 80 or 24
off and that's it those are the deals
hope you guys have a fantastic day today
and like always you can find the links
to these and more in the video
description but until next time I'm hand
you off back to great for the rest of
your hot news cheers she didn't tell me
about this it's not a great deal but it
is a big deal and that is big screen
coming out with the world's smallest VR
headset at least according to big screen
themselves it's going to have 5K
displays it's gonna have two 5K 90 Hertz
OLED displays with six degrees of
freedom and it's also gonna only weigh
six ounces with the strap additionally B
only one inch thin at the smallest point
of the actual VR headset you see right
here this is quite considerably smaller
than anything else that you would see
like a valve index or metaquest too
however it does come with a lot of
caveats number one you have to have an
iPhone to scan your face in order to get
it to contort to your face shape before
you buy if you wear contacts or anything
like that you have to get custom
prescription lenses additionally it
cannot stand alone you need valve's
external steam VR base stations on top
of the fact that you will also need a
gaming PC because it is not powered
internally and they're going to cost
9.99 to pre-order right now and not
shipped till the end of this year so
you're essentially paying for a
Kickstarter at this point does this
interest you small VR headset does it
make it more appealing is that really
what's holding you back and to even
trust this company to take your thousand
dollars and deliver on a product later
this year let me know Down Below in the
comments and do you trust Minecraft to
be installed on your kid's school
computer because it just might because
Minecraft finally getting it added to
Chrome OS on Chromebooks it hasn't been
available there at all and now it turns
out that there's an official trial
that's being brought out by Minecraft
for people to be able to play on other
school computers or otherwise
Chromebooks with it having some severe
limitations just like that VR headset
number one you can only play for 90
minutes it's time limited survival only
Additionally you have to start your
world from scratch every single time and
every time that time limit expires the
world is deleted and those worlds cannot
be transferred over to a full world so
it's just a very small lockdown 90
minute experience where potentially
students could play it very quickly and
then not be distracted by how they could
build out their world in the future also
it's not rolling out to every country at
the moment only having 17 supported
countries which you can see right here
excluding the United States and the
United Kingdom but it's available in
certain places finally officially and
Chrome OS is not looking like it's
officially going to install Bard which
is their AI alternative of chat GPT we
talked about this in yesterday's episode
of hot news that Chrome OS had some
indications that it was going to replace
regular search with Bard but after some
updating Google has deleted all mention
of that in Chrome OS and specifically
has renamed some of the code to be
abandoned after the articles that came
out that discovered that Bard looked
like it was going to be implemented
something's going on over on Google side
of things doesn't necessarily look like
it's going to be rolling out as soon as
some people may have thought and some
people may have thought that China's
first domestically produced gaming
graphics card the more threads Mt TT S80
might have been okay but new benchmarks
are coming out and despite the fact that
this is the world's first PCI Express
5.0 SSD it is not the world's fastest
gaming graphics card in fact it gets
outpaced by a GT 1030 in a lot of
instances so benchmarks coming out from
several different outlets now in
different video games and despite the
fact that it cannot run every video game
certain video games like Skyrim it is
getting trounced on to the tune of being
half of a GT 1030 which only costs about
50 bucks brand new in case you wanted
that based on the actual specs of the
MTT S80 it was supposed to be around an
RTX 3060 but it can't beat a 1030 it
like can maybe kind of get near a GTX
1050 sometimes but it's it's they have a
long way to go before it's actually
going to have parity with modern gaming
gpus and Samsung bringing their 990 Pros
up to parody with the 980 Pros making it
so that the phone vulnerability that was
in them that was reducing the lifespan
of the ssds has finally been corrected
the 980 Pros got a firmware update a
couple of weeks ago and now finally the
990 Pros have their firmware update
which allows it to fix the death issue
that was happening with these ssds which
was reducing the lifespan it is not
going to undo any of the damage that
happened with the faulty firmware but it
will at least stop the bleeding from
happening and that's what Nvidia is
hoping to do with their RTX 4080
potential price Cuts there's more
indication coming out that because the
RTX 4080 is not selling very well and
the fact that Nvidia cannot produce
enough gpus on either side of the 4090
or the 4070 TI to keep up with demand
that the 4080 might actually drop in
price because those have just been
sitting in the open market not
necessarily being able to be sold this
is coming in conjunction with a report
that came out a few weeks ago that
Nvidia has found a cheaper way to make
the RTX 4080 and that would maybe
potentially be passed on to Consumers
but it's looking ever more and more like
and from different sources reporting
that the RTX 4080 could come in down in
price maybe potentially to be eleven
hundred dollars I personally don't think
that they're going to come down all the
way to match the RX 7900 XTX because
that would be seeding too much ground to
AMD superiority but at least dropping it
by a hundred dollars to be at eleven
hundred bucks will likely help to move
the gpus a little bit will you buy an
RTX 4080 if it drops to eleven hundred
dollars or I I don't know who that's
positioned to I know our demographic I
don't think you guys have that much
money let me know though and I'll also
remind you that we're giving away this
Alienware PC sponsored by Ace attack
