Podcast #807 - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Review, AMD Radeon RX 9070 Delay, Kingpin + Much MORE!

·1 hr 15 min·5 clips

The NVIDIA RTX 5090 is a dual-slot flagship faster than the 4090, but only half as thick.

The episode opens with host introductions and casual banter about food and Apple. The main topic is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 review, highlighting its dual-slot design, 575W power draw, and performance improvements of 15-30% over the RTX 4090. The hosts detail technical specs like the 92 billion transistors, 744 mm² die, and 32GB GDDR7 memory. They discuss NVIDIA's aggressive release strategy despite lack of competition from AMD, which has delayed its Radeon RX 9070 series until March. The conversation shifts to DLSS 4.4 and its frame generation capabilities, noting significant latency reductions. Kingpin's halt on RTX 50 GPU development and potential move to AMD is covered, alongside scarcity concerns for RTX 50 series stock. Security segment 'Insecurity Corner' addresses MikroTik router hijackings, a 5.6 Tbps DDoS attack, and Sage Copilot data leaks. Gaming quick hits include EA shutting down the Origin app and Microsoft's Game Assist feature. The episode concludes with picks of the week: an MSI Spatium M450 SSD, Raspberry Pi 4 sale, Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor, Silicon Power US75 SSD, and Silverstone FLP01 retro case.
