PC Gaming news Tech News
Warhammer Vermintide 2 Diet Dr Pepper Let’s get into it To start off the tech news this week, we’ve seen some pretty interested AMD Ryzen security drama and as of writing this video we aren’t even close to having all the details
In short, a brand new security firm called CTS-Labs put out a report that there are 13 security flaws in AMDs CPUs, much like the drama that we’re still seeing with Intel’s Meltdown and Spectre The problem with this one however is that there are a lot of weird things about this case
First off, no one has even heard of CTS-Labs before this happened, they only gave AMD 24 hours before they made their research public, usually companies get months for this, and to top it off, these guys could be connected to a different company that put a short on the AMD stock It’s all very fishy as of right now, might just be some market manipulation, but we shall see in the next few weeks Next up Google announced this week that they will be completely banning any and all cryptocurrency advertisements starting in June Yea even just hearing myself say that makes me wanna sell my bitcoin Not really though, HODL
Anyway, the price of bitcoin dramatically dropped about 12% after this news and it honestly surprised me Google was founded on tech innovation and they seem to be blocking the same concept with bitcoin Not the best of news for us HODLers out there And right on schedule with our “What new item gets RGB this week” series, Logitech is launching a speaker system with you guessed it RGB lights All jokes aside it actually looks pretty cool, the RGB lights sync to the game you’re playing and can result it some pretty cool effects when gaming
Games like Civilization 6, , CSGO, Battlefield 1, and Dota 2 already have custom lighting profiles that are ready to rock, and you can preorder this 21 system for 200 bucks And to wrap up the tech news for the week, it looks like ASRock will be hopping into this crazy GPU market after all THey actually just realized a video on twitter where you can clearly see the shape of a ASRock branded dual slot GPU and the branding on it says Phantom Gaming Very interesting that they’re jumping into the market right now
Are they trying to sell out of the current generation and make some bank on crypto miners, or are they sending a hint that the next generations of graphics cards are coming soon? Hmmm Alright moving on to the PC gaming news, there was some epic chaos happening over on Twitch the other night, when Fortnite streamer Ninja hopped in some games with Drake Yea, apparently it was crazy and they even set the record for the most viewers on a single streamer surpassing 600,000 people all watching at the same time Apparently my favorite football player last year JuJu Smith Schuster also jumped in on the action which I haven’t seen yet, but I’ve already heard from you guys that it was hilarious The video for that is linked in the description where I link everything I talk about And in more quick Fortnite news, Epic Games announced that they are throwing a massive party at E3 which will host a 50 celebrities vs 50 pros competition which sounds awesome
Celebrities include Chance the Rapper, Drake obviously, and even some Toronto Maple Leafs players Twitch Prime is at it again with developing their platform, this time adding a full game giving service called Free Games with Prime Starting on March 15th if you’re an active Twitch Prime subscriber, AKA Amazon Prime subscriber you’ll be given Superhot and Oxenfree, both very highly rated games, and the next round of freebies will start on April 1st Pretty cool to see a dedicated service like this for us PC gamers, much like how Xbox and Playstation players already have And finally my absolute favorite piece of news this week, Bethesda has announced that SKyrim VR is coming to PC on April 3rd
The Steam store page already shows support for both HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, thank god, and it also shows that it’s the complete game of Skyrim which includes the DLC Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn As someone who still hasn’t even beat Skyrim yet, please don’t judge, I absolutely can’t wait for this and this will easily be an instant purchase for me Well that wraps up Weekly Download episode number 85 I just played a lot of Warhammer Vermintide 2 and I’m still pretty bad at it, but if you wanna see some benchmarking videos with different graphics cards then make sure you watch this video up here Well I hope you guys enjoyed this video, please drop a like down below to help support my channel, and as always, thank you for watching and please subscribe for more Zach’s Tech Turf videos
