Motherboards with all the connectors on the back- and cases that support them. They're coming, despite a ton of challenges that I honestly didn't think the industry would overcome. Corsair, Maingear, Gigabyte, ASUS- they're all in the game, and the results are pretty cool.
 
 
 

I won't be the only one in North America with the 115" TCL TV for long, but even worse than that is that HiSense has made a 110" TV that has double the brightness, and double the dimming zones. On the bright side maybe these means we get to have more videos?

Here's how you can build your own monitor using some parts from eBay, 3D printing and a little creativity! Follow along on youtube for the build guide once you have all of the parts listed below ready to go.
You'll need to print and prepare all the parts from our Thingiverse Remix: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3880504
Additionally, you'll need these fasteners:
4x 1/2" long - #2-56 flat head screws
7x 3/8" long - #4-40 flat head screws
4x #4-40 Nuts and washers
Lastly, you'll need to find yourself a 15.6" Panel, matching EDP adapter, power supply and some basic hand tools for the fasteners.

Before Blu-ray and Streaming, DVDs, and even CDs, one gigantic platter not only ruled over home cinema, but helped create the entire concept: LaserDisc. But what happened with LaserDisc? Why was it so infrequently used in its time?

I'm at the Gigabyte booth at Computex 2023 where they're showing of bonkers new hardware from Nvidia!

It does seem strange that the 6700XT would perform so highly against the RTX 4070 there. It might be worthwhile for somebody from LTT/the lab to double check those results.
 
One thing to note is that Hardware Unboxed's review has ray tracing enabled, which Nvidia's cards perform better at, while LTTs tests have ray tracing disabled. That's why there's such a huge discrepancy between the FPS values the two outlets are reporting (81FPS for the 7600 with RT in HU video and 147FPS without RT in LTTs). The poorer RT performance on AMD last gen cards might explain why the 6700XT performed much worse in hardware unboxed's tests compared to in LTTs tests with it disabled. Steve from HU even mentions the poor RT performance on the previous gen AMD cards during the F1 2022 portion of his 7600 review.
 
I don't think that fully explains why the 6700XT is ranked so highly relative to the RTX 4070 in LTTs test, but I wanted to mention it since you can't directly compare LTT's and Hardware Unboxed's results as RT on vs RT off makes a big difference.
 
For what it's worth LTT's RTX 4070 results in the RX 7600 video are in line with the results they got for the 4070 during their original 4070 review.
https://youtu.be/nkh9VGCY8as?t=129

 
 
The RTX 4070 and RX6700XT results in the RX 7600 review are also identical to their RTX 4060Ti 8GB review from yesterday too. Though, since the reviews were released 1 day apart they may have used the same data for both reviews. There wouldn't be much point running the same benchmark tests a day apart just for a separate video. It looks like they just added the RX 7600 to the chart from the RTX 4060Ti 8GB review.
 
 
Unfortunately LTT's original review of the 6700XT only included 1440p benchmarks and that was in F1 2020 not F1 2022 so I can't compare the two results and I'm not sure which other reviews they've done with F1 22 at 1080p that included the 6700XT as a comparison that I could bring up to check.
 
 
Gamers Nexus included F1 2022 1080p in their RX 7600 review as well and it appears to be with RT disabled. It seems like Gamers Nexus and LTT are testing with more similar settings, with most of the cards within a small percentage difference between LTT and Gamers Nexus, which should provide a better like to like comparison than Hardware Unboxed's tests which use RT. (You can't directly compare the results from two different reviewers who might be using different systems or settings but this at least gives a closer comparison than against Hardware Unboxed's Ray Traced results)
 
Gamers Nexus has a similar FPS score for the 6700XT (193 FPS vs LTT's 189 FPS) but their RTX 4070 score is much higher (224 FPS vs LTT's 180 FPS).
https://youtu.be/MCxYfXe1DAA?t=1084

 
All of GNs and LTTs AMD card tests on F1 2022 1080p perform almost identically. LTT's Nvidia cards however all perform worse than GNs. This might be down to the individual settings that each review outlet are using, with LTT maybe using some settings that disproportionately effect Nvidia's performance more. It could also be that the two are benchmarking on different scenes that might be more or less taxing depending on what is occurring in the scene. It might not be that LTT's results are "wrong", they might just be different due to different factors.
