Zen 6 on AM5 Confirmed, Absent DLSS 5 and Golden Samples

Radeon RX 9070 XT or GeForce RTX... 5060 Ti?

Episode 111: Are reviewers who get review samples, get early access to products and have affiliate links truly independent? We discuss this in the podcast, after we watched a video from someone claiming MKBHD is not truly independent. A good one to hear our thoughts on how we approach reviews and conflicts of interest

Are Reviewers Truly Unbiased and Independent?

Episode 110: Fanboys on Reddit got very upset that we trashed the upcoming Radeon RX 9050 and 4GB GPUs in general, claiming that these models are not sold to consumers, and also not actually gaming GPUs. So we naturally decided to take on and dismantle these idiotic comments in this week's podcast.
