Hey welcome to Zach's Tech Turf.
On today' episode of Weekly Download Number 94, I'm gonna be playing some Doom when
I give you this news, of course I got my cup of coffee right there.
And in today's episode I'm planning a new series for the YouTube channel and I need
your feedback, that's at the end of the video, so, let's get into it.
To start off the tech news this week, more and more rumors are piling up, especially
the ones over at TomsHardware that the next generation GTX 1180 or 2080, whatever they're
calling it will be launching here in July which is just a few months away.
Obviously Nvidia still hasn't confirmed or really even hinted at this yet, and July
is still just a guess based off these new rumors.
I wish I had more to report on this, I'm sure we'll hear something in the near future
if this is legit, but yea that's all I got about that.
Next up Intel confirmed that they are bringing a Z390 enthusiast chipset that seems pretty
pointless and just like a cash grab if you ask me.
There are only 2 main features that the Z390 chipset offers over the Z370, which is already
really expensive by the way, and that's support for 6 USB 3.1 Gen 2 USB ports and
built in 802.11ac wireless networking.
Wanna know the kicker though.
Both of these quote unquote new features are already available on their more budget oriented
H370, B360, and H310 motherboards.
So basically my super expensive Z370 motherboard that I HAD to purchase with my 8700K because
there were no other options at the time is the only chipset that doesn't include these
features.
Intel, if you keep making moves like this I'm gonna have to switch over to Ryzen.
#RantOver
Moving on we found out this week that Valve is paying ethical hackers to find security
flaws in Steam, as well as their other servers and websites for Team Fortress 2, CSGO, and
Dota 2.
A post from HackerOne, a community for ethical hackers revealed that Valve has already paid
out $109,000 for people finding security flaws in their assets.
This is pretty cool considering I'm about to take my Certified Ethical Hackers certification
test here in a few months.
The first ever consumer grade 4K 120Hz monitor is here and it's from a company called Wasabi
Mango and it costs a whopping $1400.
It's 43 inches which is borderline a TV in my opinion, but it's also rocking an
IPS panel and somewhat HDR support.
I'm personally very excited for 4K and higher refresh rate monitors to come out, my GTX
1080 Ti is starving for them, but it might be a better idea to wait for some upcoming
models from Asus and Acer that are set to release very soon.
And to wrap up the tech news with quite possibly my favorite news of the week, Microsoft unveiled
their new Adaptive Controller which is a gaming controller used for people with limited mobility.
You can see from the video here that it's a big controller with huge buttons, and it
also serves as a base for connecting many accessories including even bigger buttons.
Obviously using a controller can be pretty difficult for those with limited gaming and
I love how Microsoft put so much time and resources into creating a controller like
this.
All of the keys are customizable, bindable, etc, it's awesome.
To start off the short lineup of PC gaming news for the week, we've all probably seen
by now, at least if you're in the US that the Supreme Court ruled for letting sports
betting now being legal, or at least it'll be up to the State to decide.
This has been talked about all week in the sports world, but how will this affect esports.
More than likely esport gambling will now be legal in the United States, it's already
legal in over 100 countries by the way, but it'll be interesting to see hwo the industry
moves forward for this.
With such young esport athletes and the very real scare of max fixing, things could get
interesting in my opinion.
Next up Rocket League announced that they are adding a new Rocket Pass paid subscription
service which is very similar to the Fortnite Battle Pass service.
In a nutshell, there will eventually be both a paid and free unlock system as your progress
in the season or whatever they call it.
As you level up you'll earn cosmetic awards but the awards from the paid Rocket Pass will
be better than the free version.
What do you guys think about this?
And finally to wrap up the PC gaming news, don't forget we also have to talk about
my new series afterwards, and we found out some new juicy information about the Call
of Duty Black Ops 4 game during their reveal event.
We already knew that there's no single-player campaign and that there will be a battle royal
mode, but we also found out that the game will be hosted on Battle.Net and not Steam
this year.
I'm not sure what all this will entail for it's October 12th release, but they did
confirm that there will be 4K, HDR, and uncapped frame rates, as well as dedicated servers
so it sounds great.
I will be buying this because as you probably know, I'm a huge sucker for Call of Duty
every year.
Alright so before ending this video I wanted to quickly announce my new series and I want
as much feedback from you guys as possibly.
In a nutshell, I wanna post a monthly PC gaming update video to guys, where I basically talk
about in a semi-unscripted way the games that released for the month and what I've personally
been playing.
The reason why my Gaming on a SUnday Morning series didn't do so well is because I personally
don't play that many games in my scarce free time, and I just couldn't keep up with
playing a new game every single week.
Well now with a month's time frame that problem will be alleviated and I'm pretty
excited about it.
So far I have 5 different categories for the series that I want to talk about every month,
and those are the new games of the month of course, what games I personally purchased,
my current fallback games, and the most excited part, games that I'm embarrassed I never
played.
There are so many great games out there that I haven't played, Half Life 2, Portal 2,
XCom, and Doom, which I'm currently playing, just to name a few, and I think it would be
cool to tackle one of these every month and let you guys know how it goes.
Anyways, this is just a rough draft for the series, I'm thinking it'll be like a 20
minute video every month and that way I can share what gaming experiences I had during
the month with you guys.
Please let me know what you think.
Well that wraps up Weekly Download episode number 94.
Please be sure to let me know down in the comment section what you think of that new
gaming series.
Well I hope you guys enjoyed this video, please drop a like down below to help support my
channel, and as always, thank you for watching and please subscribe for more Zach's Tech
