Actual reviews for the Sapphire Nitro+ 6800 and Western Digital Blue SN550 NVME drive.  Photography only comes up a few times and then more of course.< ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

On the docket this evening we recap the AMD live event, and examine the details of the multiple RX 6000 GPU announcements, seemingly rivaling and topping(!) the recent performance levels set by Nvidia’s 30 series. Impressive, and we’re looking forward to testing these new cards. Swerve over to the AMD Xilinx acquisition and AMD’s great quarter – some might say it was Epyc. Har! Also in this show: Ryzen & RTX in the same laptop, it can happen with ASUS — Cyberpunk 2077 Delay!? — Nvidia Reflex isn’t talked about much yet, but it’s interesting! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
