Radeon RX 9070 XT or GeForce RTX... 5060 Ti?
Episode 112: For some reason, YouTube decided to change the view counter. Also, AMD didn't bother sampling RX 9050s for review, but we reviewed it anyway.

Are Reviewers Truly Unbiased and Independent?
Episode 111: Are reviewers who get review samples, get early access to products and have affiliate links truly independent? We discuss this in the podcast, after we watched a video from someone claiming MKBHD is not truly independent.

4GB Gaming GPUs are "Not for Gaming" Apparently
Episode 110: Fanboys on Reddit got very upset that we trashed the upcoming Radeon RX 9050 and 4GB GPUs in general, claiming that these models are not sold to consumers, and also not actually gaming GPUs. So we naturally decided to take on and dismantle these idiotic comments in this week's podcast.CHAPTERS00:00 - Intro01:00 - Reddit gets upset about our 4GB GPU video46:17 - Asus rejects RTX 5090 sale then jacks up price56:47 - Updates from our boring livesSUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTAudio: https://shows.acast.com/the-hardware-unboxed-podcastVideo: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqT8Vb3jweH6_tj2SarErfwSUPPORT US DIRECTLYPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/hardwareunboxedLINKSYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Hardwareunboxed/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HardwareUnboxedBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hardwareunboxed.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.
