The latest Q+A show kicks off with the news we just missed from the last Direct - Sony raising prices for PlayStation 5. The machine you could buy for $400 in 2020 is now $600, while the disc model hits $650. The team discuss the implications and discuss price comparisons with PC - but are those comparisons relevant? Meanwhile, what could Nintendo do with a potential Ocarina of Time remake? Will Project Helix solve shader compilation stutter and will next-gen consoles use 3D v-cache? All this and more in the show.

![Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 - RTX 5070 Evolution: The Transformation of 1440p Gaming [Sponsored]
Many thanks to Asus for sponsoring this video. Check out the Asus ROG Strix Pulsar XG27AQNGV for the latest in 1440p display technology with state-of-the-art motion clarity: https://uk.rog.gg/Pulsar
Nvidias 70-class hardware from 2018s RTX 2070 through to the latest RTX 5070 is re-examined in a tech evolution piece looking at the transformation of 1440p gaming over the last eight years. Yes, we have benchmark performance numbers, but the real story is in how optimised settings and ML-based technologies deliver the smoothest experiences for todays high refresh rate displays - and how 70-class hardware is still capable of delivering top-end rendering technologies, like path tracing. If youre on an older 70-class card and are thinking of an upgrade, heres how the landscape looks on some of the most recent and popular games.
Note: RTX 5070 was released in 2025, not 2024 as stated in the video.
