Podcast #746 – NVIDIA and AMD to Make Arm CPUs, Alan Wake 2 Ends the 1080 Ti Era, Bad PC Ports, Loupedeck review + MORE!
It was another week of news, rumors, game releases, four-year-old GPUs becoming irrelevant thanks to Mesh Shader support requirements, the industry freaking out about arm64 and declaring the death of x86, and other things. So many security fails to wedge into 1 show and then we flavor the cast with a Loupedeck review. Topics below!
We send out a huge THANK YOU to our generous and ever faithful Patreon members. New folks and current ones that are bumping their patronage are greatly appreciated.
