This video is a mix of information gathering and 'talking head' style content. We're reporting on Intel's current position with new information from its Arc GPU partners, plus providing our own commentary and opinions about how Intel's position in the GPU market is more important than it may seem. Intel isn't vying for first -- it's vying for second, and that means someone to keep AMD in check rather than allowing AMD to comfortably sit with status quo. Maybe with the two of them fighting each other, there could be a real chance at better low-end and mid-range GPUs. This is just us talking about it all.

![AMD Needs to Just Shut Up: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB GPU Review
Sponsor: Lian Li O11D Evo RGB on Amazon https://geni.us/B3OD
AMDs Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB and 8GB GPUs launch tomorrow. Our review of the AMD RX 9060 XT 16GB tests the card versus the NVIDIA RTX 5060, the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, prior AMD RX 7700 XT, 6600 XT, and similar GPUs, and even the GTX 1060 6GB. A large portion of the initial commentary focuses on what we believe to be misleading statements by AMD that reshape the conversation about what is acceptable for a $300 GPU in 2025. AMD, like NVIDIA, is taking advantage of consumers more aggressively than weve seen in the past; this is unfortunate, seeing as the company initially showed some self awareness with the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 launch. Still, we focus on benchmarks and compare the new GPU to alternatives on the market and as an upgrade option. We also show the VRAM limitation issues for 8GB cards, though we arent testing the 9060 XT 8GB model today (thatll be in a separate piece; were not sure when yet, as we want to add some extra depth).

![Fractal Epoch Gaming Case Review | Thermals, Cable Management, & Build Quality
Sponsor: Thermal Grizzly Duronaut on Amazon - https://geni.us/tpgcPMw
Fractals Epoch computer case builds upon the Fractal North chassis, but swaps the front panel to accommodate larger GPUs while driving the price down. The Epoch aims to be more price competitive than Fractals other modern offerings, helping breathe life into the price category that the Pop Air has occupied. The Epoch drops the wood accent of the North, bringing it instead into price competition with the Corsair FRAME 4000D (and 4000D RS), Lian Li Lancool 207, Phanteks XT Pro Ultra, and some of Montechs neighboring (cheaper) cases. This benchmark and review analyzes the Fractal Epoch PC case against some of the best computer cases on the market.

![Noctua Case Review & Benchmarks: Thermals, Noise, Cable Management | Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition
Sponsor: Arctic MX-7 Thermal Paste on Amazon https://geni.us/WbHJ
This review of the Antec x Noctua Flux Pro looks at thermals, build quality, fan performance of the NF-A12 G2 and NF-A14 G2 fans, and value versus the Antec Flux Pro, HAVN BF 360 Flow, HYTE X50, Lian Li Lancool 217, and other cases on the market. The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is, ultimately, a Flux Pro (review linked below) but with Noctua fans and accessories, including a nicer fan hub, a keychain, some extensions, and brown colorway applied to the case. At $400, its brutally expensive. Youll get comparable performance from plenty of other cases (including the Antec Flux Pro) for cheaper, so this mostly comes down to Noctua itself.
