**New Network Adapter Released**

A new network adapter has been released that supports 10 GB per second network speeds. The adapter is an add-in card and will support PCI-E slots, with a recommended X4 slot for optimal performance. It also hosts a full-size heatsink, which may not be necessary but is certainly desirable for 10 GB switches.

The adapter's compatibility is available for slower network speeds, making it suitable for use with 5 GB or 2.5 GB switches. If you're running at slower speeds and want to take advantage of the faster network speed, this adapter will provide compatibility.

**G-Sync Technology**

A new G-Sync technology has been introduced by NVIDIA, which offers a more advanced and improved gaming experience. The technology is available for select monitors and graphics cards, and provides a smoother and more responsive gaming experience.

The G-Sync technology works by monitoring the refresh rate of the monitor and adjusting it to match the frame rate of the graphics card. This ensures that the image on the screen remains smooth and consistent, even during fast-paced gameplay.

**Titan XP Graphics Card**

A new Titan XP graphics card has been released, which is based on the Big Pascal architecture. The card will not be a GeForce GTX chip, but rather a custom-designed chip specifically for Macs.

The Titan XP graphics card is expected to provide improved performance and power efficiency compared to its predecessors. It also features a custom cooling system that allows it to maintain high temperatures even during intense gaming sessions.

**RGB Memory Kits**

G-Skill has released new RGB memory kits, which are available in capacities up to 128 GB. The kits are designed for use with X4 RAM slots and offer speeds of up to 3866 MHz CL18.

The G-Skill RGB memory kits feature a sleek and stylish design, with customizable RGB lighting that can be adjusted through the motherboard's BIOS settings. They are also available in 16 GB dual-channel configurations, which provide improved performance and memory bandwidth.

**Overclocking Esports**

Rog has released new overclocking tools for Esports enthusiasts, which allow users to push their graphics cards to the limit without sacrificing stability or performance.

The tools include a custom overclocking software that allows users to adjust various settings on their graphics cards, including clock speeds, voltage, and memory frequency. They also offer a range of pre-configured profiles that are designed for specific games and applications.

**Privacy Framework Repealed**

The Privacy framework, which was intended to prevent ISPs from mining customer data without consent, has been repealed by the FCC. The repeal means that ISPs will no longer be required to obtain explicit consent before collecting and using customer data.

The repeal is seen as a major victory for consumers who are concerned about their online privacy. It also provides relief for companies that were subject to the framework's requirements.

**VPNs**

A new article on Gamers Nexus will provide detailed information on how to set up VPNs, including tips and advice for using them to protect your online privacy. The article will cover topics such as choosing a reputable VPN provider, setting up a VPN connection, and avoiding common pitfalls.

The article is expected to be published in the coming week and will be available for free on the Gamers Nexus website. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about online privacy and how to protect themselves from data mining and other forms of online surveillance.

**Store Update**

The Gamers Nexus store has been updated with new products and accessories, including the latest graphics cards, RAM kits, and peripherals. The store also offers a range of discounts and promotions for customers who purchase certain products or sign up for their newsletter.

The store is open 24/7 and ships worldwide. Customers can contact customer support through email or phone to inquire about any product or receive assistance with an order.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enbefore the ryzen R5 reviews go live with launch tomorrow we've got a recap of the news from the last week in the tech field of note some of the items we're talking about today include the Microsoft Xbox Scorpio news as looked into by digital Foundry we have a couple of items from Asus including the overclocking Esports and then msi's got a new x370 gaming Pro board added to the am4 lineup before getting into that this coverage is brought to you by the 1080c which has a new MSRP that is lowered with the launch of the 108 TI series The 1080 and 1060 SC cards come with for Honor or Ghost Recon wildlands which you can choose at checkout learn more at the link in the description below Microsoft's mid generation console release the Scorpio is our first news item for today so far what we know about this is that first of all it should be arriving by holiday of this year so it's not too far off at this point and then in the interviews done with Euro gameer digital Foundry and elsewhere it looks like the Scorpio will be using a 16 NM finfet process and that's still going to be an 8 core Jaguar chip along with 40 cus from the radon group and those will be clocked at 1172 MHz the refined Jaguar S so will run eight cores using x86 architecture clocked at 2.3 GHz and working alongside the 40 custom Radeon compute units it looks like the console should have about 6 Tera flops of compute power which puts it somewhere around an rx480 in terms of memory the Scorpio also gets an upgrade to 12 GB of gddr5 shared memory that is running on a 384bit bus and that's capable of about 326 GB per second of bandwidth beyond that it looks like the thing is basically geared towards 4K support as both or all of these mid generation console releases have been thus far so it's looking like 4K is kind of their marketing Point 4K UHD Blu-ray as possible they showed a demo with Forza running at 4K theoretically 60 FPS uh as for how that 4K is been achieved we're not 100% sure yet if it's anything like it'll probably depend on the game more than anything whether they're using checkerboard rendering or other rendering techniques to permit the 4K output but other than that the only thing left of note is that the Scorpio will be using a vapor chamber for its cooling solution and then just a standard blower fan at least from what we've seen so far uh so that'll be interesting to tear into if we're able to get our hands on one everything else is as expected does have an internal power supply it's still compatible with the Xbox 1 s and all the other current gen Xbox games and uh everything should remain more more or less intercompatibility on all of the current iterations of the console from Microsoft or from Sony that means they can't just push things like poly count they've got to push resolution solution as an option because it's a lot easier to upscale than to create multiple versions of your game with different visual Fidelity and Graphics settings so that's what we're looking at for the Xbox Scorpio and that's due somewhere around fall of 2017 back on am4 news which we're not going to be able to escape for a while because am4 is active and there's a lot of stuff going on with ryzen especially R5 MSI just added its x370 gaming Pro motherboard to the am4 lineup and this is sort of like a cheaper version of the game gaming Pro carbon the RGB board we've looked at the Intel version there's also stuff on the AMD side so the gaming Pro the cheaper version of that it is running what looks to be two pcie 3.0 slots wired as x16 to the CPU and then one additional pciex16 slot for the other devices aic's and things like that storage options include six sata 3 ports 1 m.2 slot and that does permit the 32 GBS per second boosted performance which of course you are limited more by the storage device at that point not the storage interface and beyond that uh instead of RGB lighting they're using static red LEDs so kind of like the keyboard Market where you can buy a fixed LED for cheaper that's what we're doing on motherboards now apparently because RGB LEDs add a bit to cost and not everyone wants them but if you still want LEDs they're going to do it anyway uh these are controllable through the Mystic software that MSI ships with its motherboards that means that things that are compatible with Mystic for synchronizing the lighting will be compatible with this motherboard as well though you're limited to just red and connectivity you're looking at two USB 3.1 ports for the gaming Pro non-carbon one of them is type-c which is cool news there are VR boost USB ports we'll see if those actually do anything in our new VR testing then the usual HDMI and DVID that board should be available sometime this month in April for around $150 which rounds out the x370 market pretty well because most of the stuff we're looking at so far is sort of 200 plus range so 150 for x370 that's not a bad spot for those to fit in right now the two storage news items here next transcend and adata both have new m.2 ssds transcend has a new pcie M2 SSD this one is running 3D mlc nand and it is based on nvme 1.2 for the interface with a M2 2280 form factor this is currently speculated to have an SMI or silicon motion controller and alongside that we'll have Micron components as well that's not confirmed but that's what it looks like right now in terms of advertised read write speeds transcend is suggesting that they'll be able to do a sequential read write respectively of 2.5 gbt per second and 1.1 gbt per second of course the more interesting thing is what does the 4K random look like especially at those lower Q depths like qd1 to 4 cuz that's what you'll be seeing in normal windows or application performance for the most part this also uses something of a pseudo SLC cache which is another major challenge in SSD benchmarking by the way that we've discovered somewhat just in the past few months where SLC caching if you're using traditional Benchmark tools a lot of times they will flood the cash in a way that doesn't happen in real life and the cash doesn't have time to purge and recover so over time you'll see numbers that if you plot them just drop really hard as not necessarily representative of real world performance so that's kind of side not where SLC caching on ssds adds a lot of new challenges for SSD benchmarking hence the renewed focus on latency testing kind of like you see frame time testing with FPS so transcend's got their new device it is the mte 850 series and uh that's pretty much all the specs we have other than 128 256 and 512 GB for the capacities also shipping 128 256 and 512 GB devices is a data and that's for their new xpg sx7000 series got to have lots of x's and cool letters and numbers in there otherwise it's not marketable to Gamers that is going to be an M2 Drive m220 280 form factor as well we don't know who the maker of the nand is just yet it is probably well it's it's an SMI controller so it is silicon motion just like the transcend one looks like it will be that's using the nvme 1.2 protocol over M2 for the interface as previously stated and other than that it looks like more dram pseudo SLC caching going on going on and advertised performance is not too far from transcends it's looking like for the 512 gab model of the adata drive they're advertising 1800 megabytes per second sequential read and then for the sequential right stats they looking at 850 megabytes per second uh again for the flagship 512 pricing availability is not known yet but they are going to be offering a 5year warranty on that device news from Asus this week includes one just kind of a side note over overclocking Esports which seems kind of potentially fun for a lot of people even outside the hardcore overclock scene where you form a team and do overclock and submit your results to different to the website and then just rank uh teams versus the other teams so that should be fun to look into and follow as it gets going they also have their new Rog Aron network adapter uh so that is going to be an add-in card adapter and it will support 10 GB per second Network speeds so you plug that into your PCI E slot it runs on an X4 slot and also hosts a fullsize heat snc which will really be uh not maybe necessary but certainly desirable for a 10 GB switch if you are actually using 10 GB per second networking and have compatible uh switches in between that will be compatible with slower network speed so if you're running 5 gbits or 2.5 or something like that you will have compatibility availability looks like sometime later this month and basically this is something you should be interested in if you're doing any sort of intra Network transfers between multiple machines so we would do that for our media production for example where might move large files from one machine to the other on the same network internally over Lan uh so these cards will be potentially good for that we might look into one I'm not sure we're kind of limited on the switch which most people would be uh but that's from Rog along with the overclocking Esports other than this news two quick things here and video Heather Titan XP we already talked about that in a separate video if you're curious to learn more about about it basically it is Big Pascal there will not be a bigger Pascal chip as far as we can tell for this generation this looks like about the end of it it is not a GeForce GTX chip which was stated in our previous content and it looks like it's being kind of targeted towards Mac which is interesting because it has the Mac ready drivers and it seems reasonable to expect that future Apple products coming out this year might include the Titan which in that case ditching the GeForce GTX branding could make sense just from a marketing standpoint if Apple doesn't want that on their systems uh so that's already been detailed in our previous video $1,200 card if you buy it separately G skill meanwhile has new R RGB not Rog RGB memory kits and those will be shipping in capacities up to 128 GB which would be a 16x by8 configuration the biggest density per stick is going to be 16 gigabytes so big sticks and then they have speeds up to 3866 MHz we actually have one of these that we used in our Ryon revisit to try and get the higher speeds that we were getting so 3866 MHz cl18 for that so the timings on that are 1818 1838 that's a 1.35 volts stock and that is a 16x2 configuration so 32 gbes there and as for the other kind of highish end you're looking at 3200 33 33 33 34 66 and 3600 MHz speeds and respectively those are our CL 15 there's also a cl4 3200 MHz kit which we have a trident Z non RGB kit that is 3200 cl14 and it's really good uh so those are good to look out for 33 33 cl 16 that's 16 18 18 38 3466 16 18 18 38 as well and 3600 is 17 19 1939 all of these kits 1.35 G or volts and then in terms of gigabyte capacities uh it's mostly 16 GB sticks although they do also have gigabyte sticks to bring the cost down a little bit those are optimized and approved for z270 x99 you should probably expect some kind of rise in support as well officially and expected launch is May 2017 with XMP 2.0 built in there so hopefully not too much work to do pricing is unknown right now and final bit of news for folks in the US although this is interesting externally as well the SJ resolution 36 was signed into law by the president and that means that was on Monday April 3rd so that successfully nullifies the Privacy framework that would have been put into place otherwise by the previous FCC group and uh basically prevented isps from mining customer data without consent we have some coverage of this on the website it's unlikely that this will change at this point without a new congress senate FCC leadership so that looks like it's that's the way it's going to be at this point we have some coverage so Eric Hamilton wrote several articles on this and of note we have another article forthcoming that is about using vpns how to set one up other types of private browsing advice that'll be in a full feature that publishes probably sometime this week in written format on Gamers nexus.net speaking of that as always you can subscribe for more patreon.com gamersnexus helps out directly store.
