Everyone is Buying AMD GPUs Now.. Vex 2025-10-01 | Data has been trickling out about the GPU sales numbers between Nvidia and AMD. For the first time is a very long time, it seems that AMD is selling MUCH better*.... in certain scenarios and in head to head matchups. The RX 9070 XT for example, its entire lifespan seems to have been selling better than Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti. But let's dig in and find out if this is even true.RX 9070 XT on Amazon: amzn.to/48Iy6m6RX 9070 on Amazon: amzn.to/4gZN6y7RX 9060 XT 16GB on Amazon: amzn.to/46K9jvlRTX 5070 Ti on Amazon: amzn.to/46R6zwoRTX 5070 on Amazon: amzn.to/4gPQ9sJRTX 5060 Ti 16GB on Amazon: amzn.to/46O3Kw7(the above links are affiliated and go to support the channel!)==JOIN THE DISCORD!==discord.gg/xbVEkhPJ72HUB: youtu.be/JlcgAG-C9wo?si=VyTArm3PGxJ6fxJcGN: youtu.be/wMd2WHKnceI?si=Jur-k7tukSB3Iw39Daniel Owen: youtu.be/gTrfnLvZbu4?si=hVrPOZbBwEHmagkShttps://x.com/TechEpiphanyYT/status/1960967858139152647newegg.com/d/Best-Sellers/GPU-Video-Graphics-Device/c/ID-38amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Computers-Accessories-Computer-Graphics-Cards/zgbs/pc/284822/ref=zg_bs_pg_1_pc?_encoding=UTF8&pg=1ir.amd.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1257/amd-reports-second-quarter-2025-financial-resultsvideocardz.com/newz/nvidia-claims-to-have-shipped-twice-as-many-rtx-50-cards-as-rtx-40-since-launch-but-its-an-unfair-comparisontechpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-4090.c3889techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-4080.c3888techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5090.c4216techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5070-ti.c4243techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5070.c4218nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-announces-financial-results-for-second-quarter-fiscal-2026videocardz.com/newz/amd-fsr4-int8-source-code-leak-enables-modded-support-on-radeon-rx-7000-and-geforce-rtx-30videocardz.com/newz/amd-fluid-motion-frames-3-afmf3-has-been-spotted-in-drivers-filesvideocardz.com/newz/amd-officially-releases-rocm-7-0-with-instinct-mi350-cdna4-supportvideocardz.com/newz/amd-enables-windows-pytorch-support-for-radeon-rx-7000-9000-with-rocm-6-4-4-updatevideocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-super-series-expected-between-late-q1-and-early-q2-2026store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocardjonpeddie.com/news/q225-pc-graphics-add-in-board-shipments-increased-27-0-from-last-quartervideocardz.com/newz/gpu-pricing-report-rtx-5090-and-rx-9070-xt-still-selling-above-msrp-in-us-and-europe0:00- AMD GPUs are selling very well2:51- Nvidia sales overall are higher though3:23- Best selling GPUs4:09- AMD is making more gaming revenue4:40- AMD is NOT budging6:17- Nvidia with the 50-series setup10:51- RX 9000 has been improving a lot14:13- but nvidia is still dominating market share?16:51- are the sales actually that good?21:30- enthusiasts are turning to AMD now
Optimized for 360p ... huh? Vex 2025-09-26 | Silent Hill f just launched and it is an Unreal Engine 5 game... that prolly instantly puts you on edge about the performance and reliance on upscaling. Things building up to the game's release didn't look too great either. One thing on PS5 for example was claiming the game upscales from 360p just to get 60fps in the game. We have to know the truth.==JOIN THE DISCORD!==discord.gg/xbVEkhPJ72ElAnalistaDeBits: youtu.be/zAj-x5f0ae0?si=5L-f51se4gnasWtkDigital Foundry: youtu.be/180nuQJccTA?si=7Nl47GozHcLIxOLxyoutu.be/fGsZCA-G6-8?si=E-rq-zpAc1iGLmeiLuke Stephens: youtu.be/P0nph3pNGno?si=cukKjeYid-K-YRojGameranx: youtu.be/v2OKouYIFzE?si=Q6xw7wu5DVk9_fxCSkillUP: youtu.be/PBW3NH7OaXM?si=e6ytGlPSCJYSeuEXtechpowerup.com/gpu-specs/playstation-5-gpu.c3480techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-6700.c37160:00- something is off here3:21- what if i make my own PS5?7:00- actual performance on PS5 GPU9:36- RTX 4060 in Silent Hill f10:20- TSR is broken11:31- RTX 4070 Super in Silent Hill f13:06- RX 9070 XT in Silent Hill f14:28- Performance is good!

The End of Intel Vex 2025-08-05 | The worst indicator of Intel's Situation is the apathy.

Now Microsoft and Xbox are making some Major changes.==JOIN THE DISCORD!==discord.gg/xbVEkhPJ72Xbox: youtu.be/FIVmyOIV1MQ?si=dyqipaLfdCUtcXykyoutu.be/SOKm9dDOSC8?si=6LEJjRV8beqS4LRtyoutube.com/live/oPa7KaQXp8g?si=_i0vP0FZnzV_T6GqPewdiepie: youtu.be/pVI_smLgTY0?si=UlXdiGKgWePp7RczLTT: youtu.be/3njzvmkEZGo?si=AoGBkl5Lz-zafuljyoutu.be/kD6SICieEXU?si=TmzoWsUHZLWGiz-9Dave2D: youtu.be/CJXp3UYj50Q?si=P9SdxVszVZtR0qGcyoutu.be/Pp3fbZZOlcs?si=IJDP9ATLl8kts6Z9Austin Evans: youtu.be/8_jnCcIWb5E?si=90kx2mUSOxNgZl2-ETA Prime: youtu.be/1vce4ei6Mzg?si=0VjpnrPhbSna83JQgs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202101-202505support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-support-ends-on-october-14-2025-2ca8b313-1946-43d3-b55c-2b95b107f281#:~:text=As%20a%20reminder%2C%20Windows%2010,service%2C%20and%20supported%20Windows%20release.gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-201408-202505techspot.com/downloads/7578-tiny11.htmlstore.steampowered.com/steamdeckstore.steampowered.com/sale/steamdeckrefurbishedstore.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/529834914570306831theverge.com/pc-gaming/618709/steam-deck-3-year-anniversary-handheld-gaming-shipments-idcprotondb.com/app/1240440protondb.com/app/2767030protondb.com/app/2622380protondb.com/app/1172470xbox.com/en-US/handhelds/rog-xbox-allynews.xbox.com/en-us/2025/06/08/xbox-handheld-rog-ally-x-games-showcasepress.asus.com/news/press-releases/rog-xbox-ally-handheld-gamingtheverge.com/news/682011/microsoft-windows-xbox-pc-combination-features-rog-xbox-ally-devicesdocs.nvidia.com/datacenter/tesla/driver-installation-guide/index.htmlhelp.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/1B71-EDF2-EB6D-2BB30:00- ppl dont really like windows rn1:30- Windows Problems3:50- losing some popularity5:12- Valve might be scaring Microsoft8:30- Linux aint perfect10:00- New stuff11:04- nothing that special13:20- Windows is changing15:30- this is like a Windows 'Mod'18:00- What Windows could end up looking like21:10- Competition is good
AMD GPUs are Better at RTX Now.. — RX 9060 XT 16GB Review!

Nvidia Wants to Fix This Vex 2025-04-30 | RTX 50-Series has been pretty disappointing. All the bugs, issues, supply, pricing, specs, and performance... there just hasn't really been much to even appreciate. Is it possible to fix it?

Buying a GPU in 2025 Terrible... (i got very lucky) BUYING THE RX 9070 XT on LAUNCH Vex 2025-03-08 | AMD launched the RX 9080 and 9070 XT. We were hoping that these would be widely available just as AMD said.... that is what we found on day 1.... but that was our experience (at least it's better than Nvidia, right?)We also got to try out the 9070 XT- pairing it with FSR 4.

The RX 9070 and 9070 XT Will Change EVERYTHING. Vex 2025-03-03 | AMD's RX 9070 and 9070 XT we just FINALLY officially unveiled and I have a lot of thoughts. AMD's mission is to apparently build market share, however the way that they have prices these new cards does not seem to be as aggressive as they need to. Let's see if I'm wrong on that, but I don't think I will be. In other words, I have some info on the expected supply. FSR 4 looks like it will be competitive, though maybe not to a massive degree.

The Stars Have Aligned for AMD Vex 2025-02-25 | The launch of RTX 5000 has been a disaster. Whether you look at the "Fake MSRPs", low supply, lack-luster performance, missing ROPs, melting power connectors, dropping PhysX 32 bit support-- it's all been bad. All this and AMD really looks to be in a great situation to strike. There has been a bunch of leaks of performance and price, so let's discuss what AMD needs to do to make this interesting.==JOIN THE DISCORD!==discord.gg/xbVEkhPJ72Derbauer: youtu.be/Ndmoi1s0ZaY?si=osHFvtdibzc6YSB6BuildZoid: youtu.be/kb5YzMoVQyw?si=SU_ljL911oOSR7jOTesting Games: youtu.be/fdb5cX40T_0?si=t5Rap91CVIy-MAIhHUB: youtu.be/UMPK1SeMEZM?si=4dicTRbbYGcSB6o1youtu.be/brOSJF9eonw?si=_ly-Y12yRv4uWakbyoutu.be/mbsUW1Z3_wI?si=-szqLR8zCiYUTpaI&t=2356tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-explains-the-missing-rops-defective-silicon-in-0-5-percent-of-rtx-5090-and-5070-ti-gpusnvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/50-series/rtx-5070-familyhttps://x.com/amdradeon/status/1893023748053188731videocardz.com/pixel/alleged-amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-nearly-matches-rx-7900-xtx-in-leaked-furmark-4k-benchmarkvideocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-9070-series-gaming-performance-leaked-rx-9070xt-is-42-faster-on-average-than-7900-gre-at-4kvideocardz.com/pixel/xfx-radeon-rx-9070-xt-listed-at-750-rx-9070-at-650-in-leaked-amazon-listingvideocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-9070-series-briefly-listed-by-canadian-retailer-rx-9070-xt-at-697-usd-rx-9070-at-586-usdhttps://x.com/HardwareUnboxed/status/1893264118573846627https://x.com/HardwareUnboxed/status/18931054949671528770:00- 50-series LOOKED like it would destroy AMD1:58- Missing ROPs2:35- Melting3:20- 5090 is worse than 4090 sometimes4:14- MORE QA Problems4:40- AMD's Decision6:30- RX 9070 and 9070 XT LEAKED Performance13:25- Comparing against OTHER GPUs18:58- LEAKED PRICING22:20- What AMD Needs to Do
NVIDIA is just lying now.. Vex 2025-02-19 | The RTX 5070 Ti launches on the 20th and we have already seen the pricing... it's bad. Like cards will not be at MSRP at all from what we can tell.

ALL RTX GPUs just Got a MAJOR Upgrade. (Modding DLSS 4!) Vex 2025-02-12 | Soooo Nvidia did a good thing. DLSS 4 Upscaling has been improved and it is available on GPUs as far back as 2018!
