 Well, a little old, a little new, parang dapat the stream should be piping from my OBS through restream. I haven't done this in a while. I stopped doing it kasi maguloy ng restream. It was easier to just have it piped through restream. So I am kind of curious as everything is going according to plan. Pero parang so far so good. So this is the stream. Once a month we talk about like the behind the scenes stories of the videos and content that we've done. So since behind the scenes, like why I wanted to pipe this through restream was that basically we react to the content and share stories behind it. But when I did the first episode of this last month, when I would play the YouTube videos, if I did it through the restream platform. So now I'm piping it through OBS and it allows me to do this. Wait. That allows me to do this. So hopefully you should be able to see. All right. So the chat seems to be up. I'm not sure if I'm getting sub time traveler PH. Ayun, lumabas naman. Hindi masyadong magaday ang contrast. Let me try to bump up the contrast so that the messages are clearer. Parang can't do that. No, they don't accept GCash, Facebook message chat. Wait. Let me just bring it down so that it's clearer. It should be like a nice box. I forgot like we should have... Oh, but now I need to... Sorry, the whole point of this stream also is to play the ad. Hang on. Let me set that up in OBS. Yirap din paminsan ad. Although I guess nobody complained about the sound and things. So I guess we're okay on that front. So let me just set up the ad and then I'll run it and then I will get to the chat and the questions. So waka na ba sa unactivated windows mo? Well, lucky you. Pinakabago mula sa CDKoffer.com.

Wait sa glit. There you go. Dami get through the chat. Bakit hardware sugar you name? Basically, you wanted yung tingin namin sa computer hardware. It's bad for you because it can be expensive. It can be time consuming. It can be frustrating. But at the same time, it can be really pleasurable, so it's like sugar. Sugar is really bad for you, but at the same time, it tastes really good. So we wanted to have that kind of, that's the impression we wanted to give to our audience and our customers that, yes, this is a treat. It might be bad for you. Health wise, sugar, consuming a lot of sugar isn't that great. But from a pleasure perspective, masarap yung sugar, masarap yung matamis. So we wanted to have sugar in the name, but at the same time, we needed to have something computer related and we didn't want just something boring, like yung dami yung mga PC stars na sobrang boring na pangalan. So, but we wanted to, we put in hardware to reflect now we sell computer hardware and sugar because that is our philosophy regarding computer hardware. It's bad for you, but in moderation, you can really enjoy it and it can really make your life better. I mean, make your life more enjoyable. And that's really what we think about computer hardware. Saap Ravi, watching from Kuwait. Thank you for watching us. I think we're several, you're several hours behind. It's 4.30 or so now, Manila time. I'm not quite sure what time it is in Kuwait, but thanks for watching. Stay safe over there. Saap Normel, Magdiel from Facebook. Saap JJ Guevara from YouTube. Norman from YouTube. Man, the text here is really, I apologize that the chat window is, I'm just going to turn this off muna. I'm going to turn this off. Then we're going to turn this guy off. All right, so at least it's like the mini me and then the chat muna while I go through the chat. Norman from YouTube. Good PM. First build ko po nung August, RTX 4070, pero na pili ko na monitor is FreeSync. Hindi ko alam na dapat pala kung NVIDIA equals G-Sync tapos sa AMD FreeSync. Actually, some of the FreeSync monitors can also run G-Sync. From what I recall, I don't know, wait, sorry. Ayaya. You just need to check if your monitor can run it. But basically, if I recall correctly, there's been a lot of earlier on, ganun nga dapat siya kung NVIDIA GPU G-Sync monitor to get the extra interaction between the GPU and the monitor to discourage ang screen tearing and things like that. Pero ngayon, parang if it's FreeSync premium, parang gaganan na siya for NVIDIA GPUs. FreeSync premium, I think. So, but you might need to check if your monitor covers that, if your monitor is a FreeSync premium. If not, you're out of luck. Actually kasi yung for G-Sync, a G-Sync monitor, there's special hardware inside the monitor to help it communicate with the GPU. Yung AMD, yung FreeSync, it just uses software. So any monitor properly, if it has hardware already, common hardware that can meet the specifications of AMD, kaya siya maging FreeSync. Pero yung G-Sync monitors talaga, may special hardware that enables it to communicate with the NVIDIA GPU. That said, parang FreeSync premium monitors, dami kasi ang flavors ng FreeSync, dami nga variations, but I think premium, if I remember correctly, can communicate or, you know, you can kind of enable it alongside your NVIDIA GPU. Kiervin Amparo from Facebook. Good afternoon, R9, compatible sa 3080 or 3090. Yes, compatible. We have a really old video talking about this where what you're really asking is not compatibility. It's more what you're asking, wait, nababora ako sa, okay, I can have my desktop. But what you're really asking whether it's compatible, will they run together? Yes, it will. Ariza 9 will 3080, 3090, 32GB of RAM, no problem. So your question is, is it compatible? Will they work together? The answer is yes. But I think what your question really is, maganda ba yun? Are they a good pairing? Are they efficient? Hindi makaka bottleneck? Those are different. When you say compatible, you're just asking the question kung gagana ba sila together? And 99% of GPUs out there, kahit anong CPU kasama niya, gagana siya, yung tanong kung bottleneck ba sila if they're a good pairing. We don't have a video about this way, way back. Let me try to find it. Hang on. Let me pull up the link for you. Ang possibility, sinasagot niya kung gagana ba yung card sa system mo? Here. Yung bottleneck is about efficiency. So instead of repeating myself quite frequently, ito na lang yung YouTube link to answer that question. So Park Lesser Navarro, drop by the shop. We are open November 2. Onwards. Omar from Facebook, 2060 will hold up for future games like Alan Wake 2, Otherapy and outdated GPUs. It's outdated GPUs. I don't think, I think it's a little inaccurate to call them outdated because even a lot of the current crop, yung 4,000 series of NVIDIA that's the latest of NVIDIA, 7,000 series of AMD is the latest from AMD. But if you look at the performance, they're comparable to previous gens except mas mura. So for example, the 4060 is roughly 20% faster than the 3060. But a 3070 would still be faster than that. Pero may mga advanced features yung 4,000 series gets a little complicated, guys. Which we'll talk about a little bit later. We did do a video about that. The 40 series cards do have some features, particularly DLSS3, frame generation, na wala yung other cards. But to call them outdated kind of implies that everything from the current generation is faster than the previous gens and that's just not the case. You have a lot of previous generation cards which are still faster than the entry level and mid-range of the current generation. That said, a 2060 is getting a little long in the tooth. I don't know the exact requirements for Alan Wake 2, though. Oh, sorry. See, this is the thing. I would like to show more of the chat. Let me just... No, not that. Hang on, hang on. This is what I like. I'm remembering now why we didn't do this. Oh, it's the window. Hang on, hang on. I'm trying to get more of the chat. I think if I make this height longer, there you go, and longer pa. To be honest, this is like what I don't enjoy about... Then how do I scroll it, Sana? Ah, then that's what I like. Oh, it's just... Oh, it's just me. Okay, wait, that's not good. I put compact mode, but ako lang yung compact. Okay. See like that. Man, we gotta... We gotta get... Okay. So, yeah, to call it... So, just to go back to the question of Mark to the question of Omar. Yeah, you know, GPUs aren't necessarily that outdated even if there are two generations behind or stuff like that. But you do need to kind of... But I don't... For that specific game, I don't know the recommended specs, so I can't quite comment if at 2060 will do it. Subdances with waifus. If it's freezing premium going back to Norman, that should be good. Okay, there are a bunch of... There are a bunch of tech questions. We'll go through those as we can. So, yeah, I'm gonna experiment with something. Wait, looks like it. Oh, it should be black. Why is this not black, then? Wait lang. Okay, that seems to have rebooted it. At least the contrast is better. Although we've lost the old chat messages. Sorry about that. But it seems to have rebooted the settings at least medyo mas kita na siya, mas highly visible. All right, all right. So, let us get to... So, this is supposed to be like behind the scenes of the stuff we've done last month or this month, October. So, we'll do that. Oh, there we go. What's up, guys, sir? This is basically hardware sugar. Reacts to hardware sugar. So, it's just like a behind the scenes of some of the videos that we've done. And for that, sub liya magnaye. When Rick's was saying, sir Rafael, I thought he met my brother. But he's... I think he's chatting with Rafael James. Another esteemed YouTube member. Thank you so much. All right. So, let us... So, I'm doing this through OBS so that you can actually hear the audio of the videos I'm reacting to. So, let us pull that up now. Okay. Well, the chat again... I remember, this is my issue with the chat na. It's not like... Anyway, all right. So, we're going to go through the videos first. Just like... So, this is a... This one here is a member exclusive. Although, wait, it doesn't need to be like super big. Like, why can't we just center it here? Lord, save me from all of this. Sige, ganyan lang muna si chat. We're resizing on the fly. And here we go. So, I think the first video we did for this month was... This is September. Is this October? The fake thermal grizzlies are immediately apparent. Either the packaging... So, this is the first video we did for October. It's a follow-up to... So, we bought like a lot of fake thermal grizzly paste. We know it was fake kasi anayon ng price niya from an original thermal grizzly. In my mind, this was a follow-up to this video that we did last month where we tried eight-year-old noctua thermal paste. Ito naman, medyo yung fake thermal grizzlies. Alam talaga namin na fake kasi anmura nila. So, please try not it's usually considered to be one of the best thermal pastes on the market. Pero mahal siya. Bakit mahal? Double stores. And we tested all of them to see. And like the surprise winner here was that... Oh! So, there were two twists to this video. One was that we also bought our... kung baga our control sample was bought from the local distributor here. Kailal na namin sino yung authorized distributor we bought from them. And then our twist number one was that we bought also from abroad from an authorized distributor from abroad. And the one from abroad consistently got lower temperatures even though they're both the same product even though parayos silang thermal grizzly cryonaut. So, we're like kahit ba naman yung thermal paste mas maganda kung galing abroad. I'm like what the heck was up with that. And also the second twist for this video was at the end since we used the same setup for the Noctwa thermal paste review that we did last month we could compare the result since we did use the same setup and Noctwa was still colder than thermal grizzly. So that was the outcome of this video. Here, but surprising winner which we'll get to by the end of the video. So we tease it at the start of the video and at the end of the video we showed na the best performing thermal paste was Noctwa. And then like a couple of weeks after this video came out thermal grizzly actually emailed me saying that you know we saw your video first we're sorry na we didn't get back to you because I do mention in the video that I emailed thermal grizzly asking them hey you know I bought a bunch of your products I think they're fake kasi may just sketchy yung sources nila is there any way that I can figure it out they never got back to me that's fine like I didn't you know identify like oh I'm gonna make a YouTube video or it was just something na I thought it would be interesting if I asked the brand directly it might also help with the content of the video they never got back to me but when they emailed they said na oh we're sorry we didn't get back to you actually anyone should be able to email us and we can tell them if what they bought is fake or not and number two they were like they were actually you know in our testing we beat noctua they said in a very polite European way it's unfortunate that your results did not show the same thing or something like that so they there's a little pushback from them that in our results panalo si noctua but they were very gracious and they asked if you wanted to collaborate on anything in the future I don't have any current plans but I said na sure if in the future something comes up will be in touch so very positive interaction with thermal grizzly again I don't take it against them I mean I'm the one who answers hardware sugar chat a lot of the time I know how overwhelming it can be especially for an international brand like thermal grizzly you're receiving comments from everywhere on the internet although how I contacted them was through their the web form on their website so direct naman sad like I just left a comment on their YouTube channel or something I mean there are you know more official ways na mas matas yung chance na makita kanong makita yung question or yung message mo diba but I really didn't take it against them I was just you know covering my basis as I thought it would be good to get the comment of the brand regarding how do you determine so very positive interaction with thermal grizzly and again this video has done 2100 views so it didn't break the internet by any means I think it was an important video to make especially for us here in the Philippines where we have access to a lot of these cheap thermal paste yung mga from Chinese Lazada stores na sabra mura yung ngayong orig na thermal grizzly cryo note here is around 380 or so yung from China you can get it for like 100 plus price difference but you can also see na malayo yung performans so I thought this was an important video to make especially for us here in the Philippines kasi tayo yung may access dun sa mga cheap Chinese stores na yung like I wouldn't expect this I wouldn't expect this kind of content from a western content tech content creator but ito I think na bagay ito para sa atin I was a little disappointed to be honest it's only done like 2000 plus views although our thermal paste videos naman in general they do well over time so it's not like it's not like gang bangers everybody comes in like oh you're watching this video but over time it does get consistent views but an important topic I think and very relevant to our market which is why we wanted to do it because we're always trying to make content na bagay naman sa sa audience natin hindi lang puro gaya-gaya lang sa mga foreign tech creators tech content creators na yun nga pa minsan di naman bagay yung mga concerns nila for us I will react to my vigilante gaming I will react to my man my personal chat here so small I will be reacting to my game performance when I go through the lives that we did this month like I played Counter Strike then the title is embarrassing myself on the internet this simply sums up that particular live stream kaya nang this one what's up internet kumahili ka sa computer games you probably know by now that NVIDIA's 40 series cards are faster so the G-Force RTX 4060 as the 60 series cards are usually the entry point for mid-level gaming and thank you to NVIDIA for sponsoring this video what's really great about and thank you to NVIDIA for sponsoring this video so it was a big thrill I won't lie that actually it wasn't NVIDIA reached out for some of the really big brands that don't have or have a very minimal boots on the ground here sa Philippines they ask more established brands in the country to find creators for them that they can work with so there was an intermediary brand for this particular sponsored video it is a sponsored video it is sponsored by NVIDIA and I won't deny it's a big thrill na when they reached out and like hey do you wanna do a video for us so yung ako naman basta mali now I can very clearly state that this is a sponsored video and the content isn't just pure commercial like you know it is useful content pa rin I am completely game I was surprised actually they let us play this clip making fun of Jensen usually the entry point for mid-level gaming and thank you to NVIDIA for sponsoring this video I hope this is a funny way of making it express that this is a sponsored video we did get some guy in the comments saying na I don't understand why they put a halo over Jensen he's just basically extracting money from the market overpriced et cetera although you know what I liked about this video was it's still useful pa naman to the audience it explains what DLSS is what DLSS3 is the different variations of DLSS3 the different variations of DLSS which I think is important for if you're buying a modern graphics card so the educational content a lot of the content that we do on the channel is educational in the sense na we try to make sense of computer hardware in a non-techy non-jargony kind of way so we were still able to do that in this video there was some criticism in the comments I really feel like this is an ad I don't feel that there's a lot of value I can get where they're coming from but at same time I am happy with the way this video came out it is still within our style and our approach to content creation being educational in a non-tech heavy kind of way are there things I would have done if this wasn't sponsored yes I would have put AMD alongside NVIDIA's technology FSR but you can't do that obviously it's a sponsored video for NVIDIA and I don't blame NVIDIA I mean I didn't even try to be honest I wasn't going to make that I mean you know that's a whole kind of worms it's a sponsored video so I can get where people are coming from some of the channels sorry some of the channels some of the comments were critical of the video I can get where that's coming from but at the same time I am proud of this video especially how we explain DLSS and the analogy which I was going to write this script was like even if you see a blurred picture of the Mona Lisa for a lot of us automatically alam mo na na si Mona Lisa and gano'n yung DLSS because NVIDIA's already trained the AI even from very small scraps of data mahuhulaan nanya what comes next sorry that's frame generation but even just upscaling from a very out of scale or low scale image to a higher resolution without using a lot of the GPU content so that entire analogy of the Mona Lisa like I was super proud that visually you know I can be saying a lot of things about upscaling and frame generation and things like that but when you see like a visual example an out of a pixelated autofocus Mona Lisa but your brain automatically understands that's the Mona Lisa that's essentially what DLSS is you know what the image should be without a lot of work going on because the work has already been preloaded we've been so exposed to the image of the Mona Lisa so many times already so yeah I'm happy with the way this video came out there's some technical glitches here for example NVIDIA wanted us to it has like I was saying 4060 4060 but they were like no it has to be RTX 4060 so I had to redub the audio and it's a bit difficult to get the timing right and things like that someone did notice in the comments that the audio is a little haphazard here good catch I do agree we had a bit of difficulty and that's a little annoyance actually not just with NVIDIA but a lot of brands they have a very particular way of talking about their products I mean 4060 everybody knows what the 4060 is but they want RTX 4060 and when we had to redub mali na you redub or we tried to smooth it out as best we could but yeah there was criticisms of this video I mean there were people who found it useful also but there were some criticisms na oh sponsored bababla and this feels just like an ad and things like that oh here here like from McWave I think you can see it yeah this one kind of disappointed with this video but titling it before you buy what you need to know but then proceeding to only discuss the surface level info NVIDIA told you to without any nuance like pros and cons of the technology made this just a nine minute commercial I can get where that's coming from but yung nga I mean we I spent a lot of time making sure that this video still had a lot of content rich information again in a beginner friendly manner there are things that I would have wanted to add if this wasn't sponsored yes of course direct comparison to AMD but considering that it is sponsored I think it is still informative to the audience regardless of if you are an NVIDIA fan or not plus like not to bash anyone but they sent over a sample like you know this is another guy that we sponsored again to kind of promote the 40 series cards and the video was the video was good in the technical sense sobrang slick nung editing ganda nung setup and things like that but content wise there was nothing nothing zero man it was like the RTX 4060 will take your gaming to the next level what does that mean and I when I did for this sponsored video I was very careful to eliminate all of that kalokohan marketing jargon what does that mean take it to the next level greater feel of immersion all of that is blah blah it's BS it doesn't mean anything there words that don't mean anything so when I looked at this example that they had from a local guy not too big on on YouTube different channel different platform siya so it was very slick editing wise and you know technical wise but the content was just like it will take your gaming to the next level so hindi naman sa naninira personally I did not find that content useful I didn't think a lot of people would pick up any useful things from that so when I made when hardware sugar made a sponsored nvidia video I really made sure that it was informative in the same style that we do it for all of our regular videos so take away ko dito number one it was a great thrill very indirectly I mean we were sponsored by nvidia I mean very nvidia sa gulayat right we're like we're not even a mosquito we're like a microbe from the point of view nvidia but it was very thrilling from a personal point of view as someone who actually uses their graphics cards about 3080 in my rig here to very indirectly work for nvidia and number two I was gratified that we were still able to make the content that that we're known for I do appreciate people being critical of the video that said from my point of view I really tried to make it as informative as possible and to be fair to nvidia they had no issues with that there were a lot of revisions but more like oh change the b-roll to this to a more updated gameplay comparison and things like that but not not no pushback on the content itself so I really I really appreciated them for that yes so guys were in the house guts dragon slayer pa shout out willow it is hard to find willow AMD cards now although the 7000 series na the 7000 series 7700 XT 7800 XT those you can kind of kind of find pa but the 6000 series especially yung the higher 6000 series 7700 XT hard to find I don't think for answering BJY to have DLSS you need the tensor course so the things that they introduced in the the RTX the RTX line so I don't I think it's physically impossible for them to have for the GTX cards so 10 series and below to have DLSS there there was some conspiracy theory kasi parang I think portal 2 na on mo yung RTX on on GTX cards or something like that I can't even remember this DLSS or something but in video clarified na yes it's a setting mistake you could turn it on but it didn't actually affect anything and they have since revamped the software to point that out to not enable that feature but from a hardware point of view I think it's it's just physically impossible the GTX cards just don't have the hardware necessary to run DLSS stop Robert from Facebook for the I feel like at the video sponsored you guys should put a disclaimer actually thought we were very clear that it was already sponsored in fact we're the we're the only local guys that like trip over themselves every time even if it's not sponsored like we just got sent the item the brand sent us this item for review but they had no say in what we had to say about it it's like it's a seared into my memory I thought we were pretty clear that it was sponsored ta si Linus like I remember one video na ASUS monitor it was very clearly sponsored because they sent it to him but he doesn't say na it's sponsored I mean I thought we were more explicit pa than that then even I thought we I feel that we're more explicit pa than even foreign channels where there are some laws in place like if a US creator they're covered by the FTC guidelines and things like that I guess we could be even more explicit like sponsored parang ganyan but um it is in the video description FYI on the product this is a sponsored video the brand lent us this item recent compensation to highlight certain features of the item so we do say it in we say this all the time in the video description whether it we just got sent the item we got keep the item whether it's sponsored like we got compensation and then we also do say it in the video like it's very clear here with the Jensen spot na gaming and thank you to NVIDIA for sponsoring this video um but yes it's true I mean we don't have a visual thing saying na ah I mean like a stamp that says like sponsored parang ganyan ayah Rafael James again yeah that's something that not no one does actually just us like we want the audience to know even if we just got it's not sponsored when we say that the brand sent us this item for review but had no say in what we had to say about it that's not even sponsored they just lent us the item or we got to keep the item but since there's no money involved that's not even considered a sponsored but we want the audience to know um any interaction we have with the brand so that's why we say na um the brand for example we have our cell phone the brand sent us the item for review but had no say in what we had to say about it um because if we got to keep the item or even if they're just lending as a bunch of stuff over time um that's something that the audience might want to know um but again you don't see a lot of creators doing that you don't see a lot of channels doing that but we always want to be upfront um what exactly how did we get this product um what's our relationship with the brand so we do try to be as upfront as possible dances with waifus like I I have no idea who else took up like other tech content creators that took up lit um I know on tiktok like or sorry IG books the gram it's a big thing now not that you need to have taken up literature to you know about books and things like that but yeah I don't know anyone like of the top of my head who took up lit like me and who's in this kind of space so this was a big natu ako doing this video this was actually surprisingly good itong king bank ddr5 ram it's so hard getting ram because look what do you say about it the best thing you can say about ram is kung sinalpak mo sa computer mo at gumana that's the best like and you can you set the xmp it's fine no problem that's the best we've been having problems with ddr5 it's been hard to it's been hard to sorry I'm looking for a stat somewhere and I can't find it in my usual okay it's been hard sometimes there sometimes it's not as stable the platform even though we've gotten it from our usual brands so the king bank was actually quite nice because it was very stable even though it was an unknown brand really and the thumbnail says it all surprisingly good which is how that sums up what I felt about the about it this video popular tech advice is wrong this is basically like a summary of a lot of the things na I've talked about on the channel and in the live streams like don't get a generic PSU and things like that yes, battle neck is a thing but you shouldn't obsess over it then I throw in a little bit of my own comments at the end I don't understand why handheld gaming PC gaming such a thing now although that might be stargraping because I don't actually own a steam deck or one of those I actually was expecting like the title I put I'm going to get roasted in the comments I was expecting more pushback because I do take a lot of normal usual advice and say na parang I don't really agree with that so I was a bit scared about this video more than the in video video this one I was a bit scared that people would be like well you're an idiot and you don't know anything just because I said that you can use a generic PSU in an office build but actually the comments were very polite and a lot of people found it useful and so the video did okay and yeah it's um again, mas bagay ang advice to us here in the Philippines ang tipong generic PSU even bottleneck because for the economic situation of a lot of us malaking bagay na sobrang efficient ng setup may reduce yung bottleneck but and marami sa atin kia marami sa atin know it all so bottleneck really becomes an issue and kind of trying to steer people away from focusing on that I think it's important to the enjoyment of the hardware that you get and just as an enthusiast na what is the best upgrade I can get for gaming you can upgrade the GPU first CPU later you'll still get a big spike in gaming performance even if there is a little bottleneck so I thought this was an important video to make this one the brand sent us this item for review but had no say in what we had to say about it I do feel actually a little bad a historic sent us this car like a month ago but it takes a long time for us to you know we pump out we pump out videos but it's hard to even then products that brands are kind enough to send to us so to be fair magunulit na see ASurix about hey where's the video at the same time I don't blame them this was with us for like a little while before we actually got to make the video it is just it is basically like their RX 580 the previous one that they sent us before there are some good comments in this video pointing out that this is more like souptop RX 570 compared to the RX 580 that's true and I've been aware like even in the previous RX 580 video there were some comments about that my thinking is that for AMD like the official AMD line is that even this version of the RX 580 which is like a souptop 570 is still considered a 580 so when I call it an RX 580 I'm just following these specific I'm also just following AMD's official naming scheme is it better if I went into a deeper discussion on what flavor or variant of the RX 580 it is for me it was debatable kasi yun ya you don't it's like editorial discretion like how deep into the weeds do you want to go you know you can go like this chip was only released in China lower than the standard 580 but AMD still calls it a 580 I felt that diving into the weeds on that particular topic wouldn't be useful for the particular audience of this video kasi they just want a cheap GPU they want to know how good it will perform and if maasahan mo so there's a kind of points that I usually hit in these ASURICS videos it is pointed out a lot in the comments that it's the stripped down 580 and I think that's a good comment to make but in the video I didn't feel yun ya panang editorial discretion because AMD calls it a 580 I'm going to call it a 580 whether you want to have new one span that there is a different it is the stripped down 580 it's like well I think it's arguable whether that would be useful for this particular audience I am not married to that position like if someone were to convince me you should include it in the next one if God like I don't really want another RX 580 from ASURICS like I kind of have to like tell them guys you know we're a little busy I really appreciate it but panang maybe next next GPU na lang but yeah I don't feel super strong about it like if a lot of people said you should mention that this is the flavor of the 580 that's stripped down version I would be willing to listen living up I'm not like super married na I shouldn't mention it but I just did want to point out that that was an active that was an active choice on my part not to go into the in-depth discussion on the flavors of the 580 sub sushi I am having a good long weekend yes but it's been tiring like my kid my eldest is three and my youngest is one so bringing them around takes up a lot of energy actually all I want to do is get back to cyberpunk but then I have a whole bunch of stuff I should be doing over the week like shooting and scripting and things like that and I'll be gone actually Friday to Sunday so there's a lot of work to do before then but yeah I'm enjoying the long weekend and just enjoying the off time that I can get with the kids and with the missus this is our usual price watch episode kind of focusing on since we have a lot of new hardware came out and we expect the prices of old hardware to go down short answer not so much I am excited to do this month's November sorry next month November's price watch because we're going to do historical study do prices of hardware computer hardware go down in the Philippines pag medyo malapit na sa Pasco can you expect a December discount since we have historical data since we've been doing price watch since last year pa that's a viable avenue to explore now and this one is my brother it has added so much it's been a while hasn't it I'm Raphael from hardware sugar and if you let's back it up hey it's been so if you haven't this is my brother Raphael um for older viewers of the channel for first timers I usually ask who they think is older my brother or myself but long time viewers know that I am actually older significantly like five years older I do think I look younger because Raphael is usually more stressed at me he doesn't have the same sunny disposition but you'll notice that he has not been making videos lately again long long time viewers know that because he's always studying specifically he's studying masters of laws so I am a lawyer my brother is also a lawyer my father is a lawyer his father before him so my grandfather was a lawyer so that's three straight generations of lawyers if you looked up our last name sa rule of attorneys dati kami lang yung last name na yun because we have an uncommon last name although big lang may suming it recently na hindi namin kilala and that's like 25 years 25 years from when my lolo was accepted to the Philippine bar and then my dad and then me that's 25 year gaps I went to the same law school as my dad some of the really old teachers still remembered him and when they saw my name they're like anak mo ba ano anakaban ni no ni ano sunny et cetera so it is like a tradition in the family my brother is taking up masters of laws in as he wore in his in his video in George Washington University in D.C. so this is the apartment that he's in and it's very typical Rafael na like may mga conting flex now look at me in my GW hoodie sweatshirt ano but so he has been gone since June I think or something settling in and he started class but a brand reached out to us to hey can we send you a chair and if you know Rafael from the channel you know that he is obsessed with chairs I could care less to be honest I am not super particular about the chair that I'm in as long as it's basic comfort level okay na ako but Rafael really gets really nitty gritty into it so this this brand who sent him this chair this chair behind him is $650 I mean that's a heck of an amount to spend for a chair so they sent it to him he got to keep it after the review period and to make this video so he's in the states they sent it to him in the states it is a brand based in the states they didn't know that he was based in the states when they reached out to us so they just saw his other chair videos from the channel and they're like yeah hey we want to send you a chair so I it's I haven't I was about to say I haven't spoken to my brother in a long time but pero yung dating nung nagaway kami which is not the case I mean like actually spoken like you know we vibre and stuff all the time but like like a video call I haven't done that in a while so actually I watched this video just to see what was up with him kung kamusta na ba siya I haven't finished all of it I think I made it up three fourths all the way I do have to say perspective I find the shots a little washed out I need to increase the height of my chair which in turn lifts my feet off the ground this can be solved by a leg rest however I very there like the exposure here it's very bright he's using his Fuji XS10 camera here which he brought with into the states I feel that this could have been better lit even like the initial shot here the first one yeah like it seems a little out of focus plus the lighting is not the best yes perspective I think he's still making getting used to the space that he's in not that he'll be making a lot of videos he is focused on the master on getting his masters first I haven't seen towards the end but he does mention in the area in the area that he was in there was a so there was somebody who was brought to the hospital already under police custody because there was some assault a murder he had murdered someone he got out of the hospital and ran you know was running around so they had to shelter in place inside their classrooms on campus and then Rafael even got interviewed by the by the news after so yeah my brother having a good time in the states that's just na tatawa ko na tatawa ko na yun yung ginagawa niya ngayon so up lucky bear vlogs that since you've died who's I know right actually if you're not familiar even me when I first saw the shots of the apartment it looked very much like his room here sa atin got the same kind of desk the monitor that he got is kind of similar to the monitor he has here so yeah he really kind of recreated his setup Willow ako yung panganay but I think I look younger than Arbunso Rafael is Arbunso we have a middle I have a sister who came one year after me so it's me my sister and then Rafael my sister and I are very close in age the Rafael came five years after me so there's a significant age gap but I think I do feel that I am younger looking because get stressed a lot that one our sister naman is a doctor she's also practicing in the states so yeah good for my parents at least they all are professionals although my wife was ribbing me that after Rafael gets his LLM I will be the least educated member in my family because my dad has an LLM my mom is an MBA also from George Washington University my dad's LLM is Georgetown in the states also my sister is a practicing doctor in the states and she has advanced degrees in psychiatry so she's an MD but she's a child psychiatrist so you have to do advanced training for that and then now Rafael will get an LLM so in my family after he gets an LLM I will be the least educated and that kind of made me laugh I know right lucky bear vlogs parang kamukat talaga like the table is really like Ikea style table that's really it's very similar to what he has here let me just do the ad again because I still have one utang to the sponsor Wala pang 5 minutes nagsizigit na para sa windows mo marami na kaming na tulungan Datte sadong depressed ako but now I'm family love of my life Datte ingmarsan wala ang purpose ang life ko but now I'm a world class Zuba instructor so web developer ako and content creator for a YouTube channel and ngayun ganun pa rin ako pero activated na yung windows ko kaya ako naghanap ka nang legit mura at original software checkoutcdkoffered.co checkoutcdkoffered.com checkoutcdkoffered.co that's true I might be the least uneducated or the least educated member of my family but at least I have 110,000 subscribers on YouTube maybe my being least educated helps makes it a bit more down to earth I mean I try not to I try not to get sucked into the like oh I have X number of sub hardware sugar as X number of subs on YouTube I do find it fascinating though because a lot of young people like want to occupy this space or yun yung pangarap nilang what do you want to be when I grow up? content creator and then I feel like it's a young persons game but I'm quite old relatively and I get stumbled into this so I find it amusing sometimes na old guy trying to play a young man's game not very well but well you know we have our moments this super simple GPU guide was kind of born out from a comment so I got a comment na on one very informative video that we did it's one of our most popular videos PC master class it's like a one hour plus video every computer part we talk about in very simple terms how to understand them and how they relate how they relate with other parts pero this one comment said na puro dadala nung dada so this video super simple GPU guide is born out of that actually the meat of this you was talking about the meat of this video ay di ko pala na di ko pa di ko pa na na time stamp na time stamp so the meat of this video is just like from 211 here and I just it's like very one number how does this card compare to a 3060 in terms of raw performance FPS slower than a 3060 if you get a 1650 it's around 52% so these are just the numbers like a 1650 it's roughly 52% slower than a 3060 jump forward it's all the same 4060 roughly 20% faster than a 3060 4060 ti roughly 35% you get the general idea we went through 8, 9 GPUs basa andami GPUs with the 3060 as a baseline this is actually a difficult video to do we had to crunch the numbers we had to throw out liars because some games are just super well optimized so that doesn't give you a good feel for the average performance but it's such a short video I mean we have our outro which is like which is around 40 seconds so the actual video and then we have the adpaw which is over a minute so the actual video is like 3 minutes plus it's like super fast like super simple GPU guide but and this that's part one part two is coming up tomorrow it's already up for members now where I basically dish not dish where I basically criticize what my approach in part one let's just listen to the intro on the internet we recently published a video where we tried to make it as easy as possible to choose a GPU for a mid range gaming rig pang 1080p gaming the point of that video was to show that really it's not so hard to pick a GPU it's a trap well bakalap who doesn't love some act barn in their video it's a trap because in part two I explained that focusing on that one number is it's not a great idea I mean yes it gives you a very general sense but there's a lot of nuance behind the numbers and I pick a part like I kind of criticize what I did in part one so it's kind of like a bait and switch it's like oh super simple part one but it's not so simple part two my hope was that people who were interested in part one will watch part two and get better appreciate just the kind of things you should take into consideration when picking a graphics card hindi lang siyang isang number lang na pipili ka na oh yeah the 3050 is 25% slower or something like that compared to the 3060 parang yan there's so much more going on under the hood so that was my hope in making it part one in part two and directly addressing tackling what I said in part one directly talking about that immediately after in a part two video which comes out like a couple of days after part one yeah so parang it's like a little bait and switch and even we did it like the background of the thumbnail is very similar very similar and that was the reason behind that there's a common theme running to the true videos we'll do the shorts super fast I am trying to get better at the shorts so like starting here 3400 views the best mouse pad I love the moonstone we're talking about the ROG moonstone here anyway we can play it the best mouse pad is not a mouse pad this is the ROG moonstone a tempered glass panel so good smoothest mouse service I've ever tried think how things tend to slide off glass how slippery it can be that's the kind of glide you get with the moonstone so good this one can be a little the one I want what I was trying to go for in this shot was that this thing is the size is massive and then so I had in the background a 27 inch monitor just to show just how massive it was but I feel that the shot the way it came out in the video parang di malinaon why do I have it in front of a 27 inch monitor so that was a bit of frustration but you notice that so I'm trying to be more deliberate now in the shorts the best mouse pad very enticing title and then the first the first sentence I have in the in the short is the best mouse pad is not a mouse pad so getting people thinking na like oh di ba parang what's up with that same kind of clickbaity title 4060 faster na 3080 this is not even clickbait if you watch the short the 4060 did come up faster it's very slightly compared to the 3080 but there is a reason why at the end it's not games so the use case wasn't games same thing here the title I wanted it to be very kind of like catchy so your USB is not broken this one I thought would do better like 100% FPS increase for free who wouldn't want to click that but it didn't do so good yes I've been a bit frustrated with the shorts you notice like 500 views 380 views so this one is doing very well easiest way so parang yung very short tech tips easiest way to reinstall windows 11 27,000 views so we're trying to be a bit more deliberate with the shorts and post them more frequently so you'll be seeing more about that in the coming in the coming months we have the live so the game streams and the game streams and regular shows that we do so we had crypto watch pwede magtadong still our most popular show and live from the shop cyberpunk which I will get back to right after the stream and embarrassing myself on the internet with counter strike 2 you notice the last two game streams hindi maganda yung video quality I monkey around with OBS I need to change the I need to change a setting but the problem is I can't remember what setting I changed it's very pixelated stop dizzy no I do not think your chair will oh oh wait why die there usually I like to time stamp where I get kills but it's kind of hard here because it's kind of hard here because I had so few kills I mean it's really you know I played a lot of counter strike back in the day I cut class in high school in college in law school to play CS among other games but I you know counter strike 2 back at a global offensive this is wrong this part here is wrong there should be CS2 so this is the first time that I tried counter strike 2 and it really blew me away how everybody is so deadly like everything is so lethal I mean you need to kill the other person right away otherwise you're dead I mean the span of time you have between actually getting to acquire the target shoot the target kill the target is a lot it is so compressed now everybody is so much better online so it's really wild although a little bit a little part of me finds it a little challenging so I do want to play a little bit more CS2 and my friends and I have a regular fortnight thing going on although I haven't been able to join them for the last 2 weeks pero yes CS2 it was a humbling experience but at the same time it was super trippy to to see it again to play counter strike again but like what I'm complaining about as I'm live streaming here is it it has kind of devolved a little bit I feel into nagaabang walang gusto sumugod before pwede kayo pweng sumugod de and you'd get one or two kills before you died it wasn't a smartest strategy but at least it wasn't this kind of static kind of hold the choke kind of thing but yeah like with a lot of the other shoot like a lot of the other shooters modern shooters everything is a bit more deliberate di talaga siya kasing run and gun kagay ng dati so I have to adjust my play style accordingly not making any excuses I mean I am rusty I am old and even back in the day it's not like I was the best FPS player even among my friends but you know I was a decent player man but like going online now at CS2 it was like grave I mean I think the highlight of this particular game stream was that I had an MP5 and I was just like stupid strafing like not even aiming but like you know just going left and right in front of one of the doors in the dust and then I got a headshot like completely by accident and actually if you take a look at the stats that I generated I don't have a lot of average damage per round so I'm not dealing a lot of damage but like 50% of my shots are headshots so I don't know what to make of that am I just too slow I'm too slow in acquiring the target but when I do get to acquire the target on target naman siya I don't know I don't know if that's an accurate way of looking at my failed play style but um I didn't have a lot of kills but I enjoyed this is a good stream I enjoyed going back to CS2 and figuring out like and seeing like Italy so your hostage rescue did us too yeah but the skill level is is wild nowadays it's really it's really kill or be killed super fast but I did enjoy it oh sub Christian Espinosa thank you to everyone answering the tech questions of the other peeps in chat I do have trouble engaging with the tech questions when like there are other when I when I'm suppose like there's a specific topic that I want to talk about in the for the for this live stream so I'm going to end with the podcast textual but friendly has been on a bit of a hiatus but we hopefully I want to bring it back soon when the workload has kind of eased a little bit so I can get back to doing it and actually I've been thinking about hiring some like a producer full time although I think it's more producer sounds highfaluting it's more like internet detectives who will help me find interesting tech related stories na local that we can talk about on the podcast so I've been kind of toying with that idea but we need a producer yun yan na medyo active creative in internet research and in following up people setting up interviews and things like that but I think that would be super interesting so we can have a little bit of tech news and then that and things like that so if you know anyone or if you yourself want to apply for the position again it's not something we're actively looking for but if somebody presented themselves and we think that oh yeah we want to take a shot with this one feel free please to email your resume to hardware sugar at gmail.com it is something that I would like to pursue talaga for texture but friendly with that thank you for joining me on another like hour plus rambling a lot of OBS stuff yun yan again I'm piping it through OBS through restream because I wanted to you could hear the audio of the videos I was talking about which doesn't seem to be possible if I do it straight through restream like the chat is a little wonky I have to I have to do I have to be the one to do the stuff from OBS and things like that oh I just do want to so this is the hardware sugar like subscription like we these are the channels that we subscribe to I do want to end with ramen style so speaking about the podcast we interviewed him a couple of episodes ago to talk about like the cheating scandal is mostly he's a local he's based in the Philippines but he mostly plays Tarkov super interesting to watch his videos as you can see it's a 45 minute video but I'm more than half way through Tarkov is interesting to me I've never tried it it's another habit that I'm trying not to fall down in not to fall down into but I do enjoy watching ramen styles content in Tarkov so with that said okay we're going unscripted like this is my actual this is my actual so based on what I've watched in the past this is what YouTube things would appeal to me right some of these I take issue with like yes this might be revealing too much about myself so I will say thank you for watching please tune in tomorrow for the part 2 of the GPU video and we're going to have content basically the rest of the week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 hopefully we'll have content every day November 1 for sure I'll be streaming live from the shop we're still closed but we are open November 2 onwards so if you need anything from the shop please feel free to drop by November 2 onwards thanks so much for watching have a great long weekend it's just really starting out and see you November 1 live from the shop and also please tune in tomorrow for GPU part 2 bye guys
