你知道台北国际电脑展正在举行吗?也许不是因为它是在台湾举办的。对我们这些观众来说,大部分都发生在午夜。就像许多其他的大型活动一样。今年的展会都是虚拟的,但这并没有阻止大公司在那里发布新产品。大部分都和计算机有关,因为Computex的计算机。最大的话题是PC游戏的新显卡。所以这里有一些最重要的新东西的快速概述,你可以说你没有错过它。对我来说,最有新闻价值的可能是新的Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti和3070 Ti显卡。现在,如果你想知道为什么gpu在最近的新闻中如此频繁,那是因为现在有一点军备竞赛正在进行。 And they're also about as hard to find as the PlayStation 5. First, people want more power for gaming and graphic intensive operations like 3D modeling and video editing, but that's not always true. On top of that, there's a global chip shortage going on right now because of COVID related supply chain issues. And that's affected everything from phones to game consoles to yes graphics cuts, but there's more. [MUSIC] People are snatching up these high end GPUs for crypto currency mining, using the same shot bots and sniping techniques they do to get in there and get all the PS 5 and Xbox series x consoles, whenever somebody has a restock so nobody can actually buy them. A regular Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti card, should cost about $700. On eBay right now, they're easily going for over $2,000. So this new 3080 Ti and 3070 Ti, they're the step up versions of the regular 3080 and 3070 We actually got our hands on one of the new cards in in our hands on benchmark testing of the 3080 ti. It really makes a huge difference over that regular 3080 in terms of 4k gaming, and the 3080 ti it's gonna cost technically 12 $100 but good luck finding one [SOUND] When you talk about Nvidia, you also have to talk about AMD. That company is just dominated console gaming because they supply the chips for both the PlayStation five and the Xbox series x. [MUSIC] They don't quite have the same dominance in PC gaming where the biggest players are intel on the CPU side and Nvidia on the GPU side. So at Computex, AMD announced its next generation of laptop GPUs as led by the 6800 M, which has a lot of advantages over previous mobile AMD GPUs to have lower latencies and a better power efficiency. It's also got a new feature called fidelity FX super resolution, which basically means that it can upscale game graphics using AI so games look better and run smoother, but you don't get a big hit to the Framerate. AMD is really pitching itself as the all around gaming PC component maker right now both CPUs and GPUs and to make sure everything works together for one big harmonious experience. They've got a new branding platform called the advantage design framework. That's basically a set of standards for premium gaming laptops, like Intel Evo does for slim mainstream laptops. And to be considered an advantage design laptop, you have to do certain metrics, you have to get certain frame rates and certain resolutions, certain battery life screen brightness, that refresh rate on your display. And if you see this sticker on something, you know that this gaming laptop Hits all those marks. We actually already got to try out the very first one of these, it's the Asus Strix 15 advantage edition, and it's not the fanciest looking gaming laptop around but it's got an AMD 1600 mGPU in it and it's really fast especially considering the whole laptop is going to cost around $1700. With both e three for video games and WWDC, for Apple stuff coming up just around the corner. It's easy to forget that Computex is a major tech trade show as well as a lot of stuff there. I think the most interesting stuff was on the PC gaming graphics side. Hopefully this little primer is going to keep you up to speed. If you managed to get your hands on one of these new cards, I applaud you. It's not gonna be easy.
