 if you're listening to this on youtube this episode is one week delayed up to date tech show but friendly episodes are on spotify apple podcasts or google podcasts welcome to tech show but friendly this is the podcast of hardware sugar and this is your host Anton and i am happy to report that there isn't much news meaning less work for me and this has been sort of the prevailing theme for the last three episodes or so where there you know there's always hardware news but very little really interesting hardware news so i could talk about how the rtx 4060 launch of envidia was a disappointment how everybody hated it all the critics tripped over themselves to say that it's another overpriced offering from envidia i could talk about how i was wrong because i think i mentioned last week that the initial leak benchmarks for the 4060 were looking pretty good compared to the 3060 but the actual product we got the 3060 12 gigabyte version is usually a lot better value for money especially if you can get it second hand in straight up performance the 3060 ti usually outperforms the 4060 although the saving grace for the new card is that it does much better in terms of dlss performance and that's why it's a little tricky to give an all-or-nothing kind of summary about the envidia cards because dlss really matters a lot in terms of how well they perform the problem is a lot of games especially the older ones don't have dlss although really if you're angling to play something like dota 2 god of war you really don't need to aim as high as a 4060 another interesting note at least kumparan natin dun sa mga sinasabi ng mga foreign tech youtubers 300 dollars is overpriced for a 4060 but local price is here even with the price drop of the 3060 brand new 12 gigabytes it's still at around 19 000 pesos so well over the 300 dollars mandated or the 300 srp for the new 4060 and it's kind of funny when you know it's the first world they're screaming bloody murder na sobrang overpriced ng mga envidia cards and yet it's us here in the third world na let's face it mas mahirap yung market natin we're actually happy already when we get something close to that srp para bang baliktad na yung mundoy yung mas kaya pa mag afford because relatively first world countries have a higher per capita income of course compared to countries like ours sila pa yung nag-areklamo na sobrang mahal nito for what you get and yet here and yet here masaya na tayo oh below 20 000 yung 30 60 yay so the 40 60 as been described as another f u to gamers from envidia all the usual reviewers have panned it as such it's interesting though to share some shop experience most of the cards panned by critics are actually well received by our market like everybody hated online the 40 60 ti and yet we just recently sold four rigs to one company specifically the requested for the 40 60 ti we've had increase about it it's hard to stock it because it's sold out we haven't had a lot of increase yet for the 40 60 but i'm kind of curious on how well received it will be here so hindi necessarily na reeling mo online o bulokto pangito that might be technically true but from the perspective of a consumer especially the local philippine consumer that might not follow what you see on the ground kung baga hindi naman talaga sumusanod yung consumer interest natin dun sa mga reviews i mean of course you do have the enthusiasts that are very well versed in the reviews and they know which cards to pick and things like that but for a lot of people on the market it boils down to price and brand recognition ah yung envidia ah yung bago na envidia ah kaya naman na budget ko siga iya na kunin ko of course even internationally it's not like a lot of people have moved on to the 2000 3000 4000 series in fact in the latest team hardware survey for the second month running the most popular gpu is the 1650 the very modest humble 1650 although i do have my own beef a lot of people like reporting on the steam hardware survey but that is an opt-in survey steam doesn't publish results or doesn't count you in the data collection if you don't allow yourself to be counted so i'm kind of wondering how much that skews in favor of certain builds and really the only other interesting tech news this week the five six hundred three d was announced but it wasn't announced by amd it was announced by micro center who apparently has exclusive distribution rights and they will only be selling it physically so no online sales it's unclear whether they just have exclusive selling rights to just within the us and if other people have it abroad or if this is going to be a us exclusive cpu the 3d architecture of amd has proven itself to be quite a performance booster so the popular rise in 75800 x 3d and they've also implemented it in the 7000 am 5 platform series the 5600 x 3d promises to be the cheapest implementation of this additional cash technology and sort of like the final kick or the final living gasp of the am4 platform although we've been talking about the death of am4 for like maybe since last year or something but it still keeps kicking along we've had very brisk sales of the 5000 series is just a really great platform still good performance and good value for money especially now that the 7000 series has launched and it's a lot pricier motherboards are more expensive you need to get ddr5 which even though ram prices have declined is still pricier than ddr4 so jumping on the am5 bandwagon can be cost prohibitive but you know the am4 platform is well established 5000 series is excellent personally my end game upgrade would be to a 5800 x 3d but still saving up for it not sure if we will be getting the 5600 x 3d here but we would stock it if we could get it that's really all the news that i found interesting for this week i kind of enjoy these slow news weeks and no need to belabor the podcast longer than necessary thanks so much for tuning
