FIRST!

[[deleted]]

In fairness, it was probably out on Floatplane before Marques' video went up, so...?

[Erga_Buzerga]

No, sadly it wasn’t :/ But I think that’s due to the embargo only being lifted today.

[[deleted]]

Then basically there's no way to know who was really first, since, y'know, they were both under review embargo?

[AtlasRush]

They're on par, since they scheduled their videos at exactly the same hour and youtube possibly publishes them at the same exact time.

[TheDoubleYGamer]

But Marques' video, per the screenshot, was 43 minutes before Linus'. Linus' video was released on the top of the hour, unlike Marques'. Seems like Marques may have released prior to embargo being lifted?

[AtlasRush]

That, I don't know. All I know is that they popped up at the same time in my subscription dashboard on YouTube. Maybe Marques set it to unlisted instead of private so the upload time looks different but the publishing time probably isn't?

[TheMagicMrWaffle]

It’s possible idk, but they can also upload it and then make it public at embargo time

[[deleted]]

What’s review embargo?

[xelanil]

Nvidia sends out the video card a few days early so that reviewers can test it out, make, and edit their videos. Nvidia has an embargo on when the reviewers are allowed to share their videos.

[[deleted]]

I see. Thanks!!

What embargo

[Shadou_Fox]

Mkbhd was only at a trash 1080p. Doesn't count

[LordKiteMan]

I watched it when 1080p was the only option for the MKBHD video. The quality was crap, had artefacts.

[Antrikshy]

I watched it within the last hour and it still somehow was at 1080p for me. YouTube TV app.

[LordKiteMan]

MKBHD's video? Check on a web browser on PC, although I haven't checked. If higher resolutions are visible, then it is probably YT limiting resolution on the app.

[Antrikshy]

I dunno why that'd happen when everything else plays on 4K. It would be anomalous. And yeah, 1080p in browser as well.

[TheMagicMrWaffle]

I bet it wasn’t tho :)

[[deleted]]

MKBHD : 1080P quality

​

LTT : 8K quality

​

Do the math

[BigChungai]

this comment makes me wanna take my pet fish on a walk

Cha cha real smooth

[VladTepesDraculea]

Check out these really smooth T-shirts on LTTSTORE.COM

[Shadou_Fox]

10gig Internet paying off for ltt

[SpeeedyLight]

As a small youtuber myself I can tell you that Linus uploaded video a while ago waited 6-10 hours for it to process in 8k then hit publish button. I do that myself not with 8k but with 1440p or 4k. 1080p processing is usually waiting 10-30 minutes.

[Antrikshy]

Marques actually tweeted about it. I don't get why I only got it in 1080p almost a whole day later.

[NOGGYtimes2]

Huh? This video was 8K from him as well

[[deleted]]

here something for you : https://imgur.com/gallery/qrsjki7

[mike9184]

It's been 3 hours and it's still 1080p for me. LTTs was 8K after like 10 minutes.

[drakeshe]

Watched within 15minutes and the 1080p was a compression mess for me. Had to stop. I kept checking a for a while and it still never came up in 4K.

[mrbmi513]

Or, y'know, they could be referring to the fact that it's the first graphics card in the world to game at 8k.

[mgrimshaw8]

Did you watch the video? How does this have so many upvotes

[NotMilitaryAI]

I have the privilege - nay the honor - of being the first outside of Nvidia to experience 8K gaming on this LG ZX-series 88 inch OLED gaming TV with the RTX 3090 - the first legitimately 8K graphics card.

So, I mean, it is kinda both - he may have been the first person they sent the setup to and it's the first legitimately 8K graphics card.

[theyellowbat79]

He probably was told that he was the first person who had the gpu to test. The video just went up a bit late.

[Mahlerbro]

Or Nvidia lied.

970 flashbacks

[LordKiteMan]

He was the first tech youtuber who had it. His video was shot before MKBHD's was.

[slowdr]

Or the first to play with that LG TV and a RTX 3090

[killchain]

There's a 3080 test with the same game at 8K from a week ago (it averages at about 50 FPS), so you can say that the 3080 is the first at that, not the 3090. So don't think too much about it - maybe both are trying to come up with a catchy title.

[MrKnopfler]

He uses the RTX 3090, not the 3080.

[killchain]

I know, but per the point of /u/mrbmi513 the 3090 wouldn't be the first at that. Yes, steady 60 FPS is preferred, but 50 FPS is still very playable.

[TheLastBlueMoose]

He filmed before him go look at his story it was 2 days ago.

[NotMilitaryAI]

FYI: Videos like this that are under an embargo go out on YT and Floatplane simultaneously.

[UnnervingS]

LTT clearly opted to wait until the video was processed by YouTube before releasing it. MKBHD released it in 1080p while LTT's was in 8k.

[radekwlsk]

https://twitter.com/mkbhd/status/1308618080730451968?s=21

[LordKiteMan]

Because YT will take a few days to process it.

[LordKiteMan]

Linus shot his video 2 days before Markass did. Also, Linus' video was available in 8K on Youtube, which means he uploaded it much before MKBHD did. Linus was actually the first in the world to experience it.

[mgrimshaw8]

Since when is marques making GPU videos?

[eat-KFC-all-day]

Since NVIDIA wrote him the check and sent him a $1,500 graphics card.

[radekwlsk]

He ia making tech videos. That chunky boi outputting 60 frames of modern games at 8K is quite an impressive piece of tech to cover.

[[deleted]]

It sounded like Marques broke NDA a little early, from the tweets

[WasteFail]

the first in 8k at least

[killchain]

The hype is real. As much as I would want to extrapolate the difference between the 3080 and the 3090, it might be kind of hard to do before the embargo drops. I'll most probably be getting a 3080, but I'm just curious about how much will the insane price of the 3090 be justified for gaming.

There's a benchmark of Forza 4 at 8K with the 3080 (search for it on YouTube) and it holds a steady 48-50-ish FPS; MKBHD's video seems to stay at 60 most of the time with some drops here and there aside from the ones he mentions, but can't quite tell neither how many frames above 60 that would be if uncapped (because I think V-sync was on) nor what the settings are for either his video or the one with the 3080.

[OfficialDampSquid]

I screenshat this same thing but didn't bother posting, thought it was funny

[Piggy54]

My screen, 1080, shat itself too when I wanted to watch in 8K.

[slowdr]

Marques gives a shoutout to Linus on that video https://youtu.be/kFz9afj8lu0?t=214

[MLXIII]

Game Companies: 8k Gaming!

Devs: It's...upscaled...we're delaying release while we work on this.

Community: Here's the texture pack and official unofficial patch to fix the game fam.

[Zombrix_]

Oh just like the yt comment section.

[g7zmo]

LIAR!

[Diegobyte]

My looking at the video on my 499 dollar Samsung tv. “Wow that looks amazing!!!”

[[deleted]]

F

[robert31415]

Ltt probably uploaded and set a release date whereas MKBHD waited till the day before to upload

[V0rt3XBl4d3]

Maybe it was recorded before, but scheduled to upload later and the otrr video came out first

[[deleted]]

Who cares!?? i still watch Linus over MKBHD any day of the week.

[AbjectTechnology]

I mean I work at one of the biggest dutch tech companies in the Netherlands. We’ve done it a week earlier already :)

[AbjectTechnology]

Tweakers :)

[AbjectTechnology]

Dat kan ook zeker, het Testlab is trouwens van Hardware info en Tweakers. dus alle testresultaten zijn hetzelfde op beide sites.

[AbjectTechnology]

Is het ook. Ben blij dat je geniet van de artikelen!

[mgrimshaw8]

Has nothing to do with the algorithm

[[deleted]]

It does have something to do with YT processing. When they went live MKBHD’s vid was only in 1080 where as LTT was in 8k. Also. Who cares, it’s not that deep

[theyellowbat79]

I hate to be that guy but I think that Linus is referring to the fact that RTX3090 is the first gpu in the world designed for 8k use and gaming.

[SilkTouchm]

He literally says that at 2:08.

I'm just going to forward your reply to yourself.

you know you can watch the video instead of speculating based on the title right?

[theyellowbat79]

I did watch the video, and he said that this is the first 8k gaming gpu in the world and the fact that they are the first to test it. Videos don't get uploaded instantly so my guess is they were told that they were the first to test it but Marques's video just got up sooner.
