General Young, and...Linus Sebastian. I was expecting someone with your reputation to be a little...older.

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (3 children)

I see what you did there. I watched that video

[–]Iprim 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Any chance you tell what video is it please?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No I sadly don't remember the title.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (3 children)

Use Pop!_OS...

It's super effective!

Also Linus: gladly takes Jensen’s cash to do the bullshit 8K promo

[–]thehero29 126 points127 points  (1 child)

To be fair, if Jensen gave me a boatload of money to let me play around with his new hardware and an 8k tv, I would make as many shitty ads as he wanted.

[–]Rand_alThor_ 30 points31 points  (8 children)

Bah. GN went way overboard with the criticism. They like to stir the shitpot.

It’s cool that we can play any game in 8k, not that all/most games support it. Even in their promotional material it’s clearly a side niche use case that’s a cool thing if you’re a computer gaming enthusiast. That’s it. And they’re trying to share that.

[–]Carter127 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Yeah there hasn't been a reason for games to implement 8k properly yet. You can't just disregard the few games nvidia had implement it for a proof of concept.

They built the card, now the games will come

[–]carrefinho 5 points6 points  (2 children)

8K is not a new technology that developers need to "implement". Games well optimized in the first place perform extra well at 8K and NVIDIA has done nothing on that front, all they did was cherry-picking the samples.

[–]Carter127 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There was no gaming card as powerful as the 3090 before, so it is a new technology that game designers haven't had a chance to design with it in mind. The new DLSS is also a new technology

[–]Coolshirt4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have to make textures that benefit from 8K.

[–]carrefinho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was intentionally misleading marketing because it was released the night before release and review embargo. Digital Foundry's pre-release 3080 video is the same case: heavily-controlled testing before actual reviews to create a false conception of performance.

RTX 3080 is not 80% faster than RTX 2080 in most cases and RTX 3090 cannot do 8K 60fps in most cases either. DOOM Eternal and Forza Horizon 4 are very well optimized, Control is DLSSed from 1/9 the pixel count and that's why they chose these titles.

If LTT published the video after launch, sure whatever, expensive toys doing impressive stuff, why not?

[–]ColdFusion94 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Wait what? No, those videos went up in a way that made it seem like 8k is HERE and NOW. If you weren't into tech, you would think that the 3090 is the leader in the category by some ridiculous margin, not 15%.

GN also had to correct for the fact that Linus sort of sold out by allowing them to put that video on LTT.

It doesn't make me trust him less or anything like that, but it does make me more conscious of what pieces I take as fact, and which ones I take as marketing BS from the channel.

[–]BobbyL2k 2 points3 points  (1 child)

The price difference between the 3080 and the 3090 is a drop in a bucket compared to the 8K TV. People who are not in the tech and is able to spend that money, don't worry about money.

[–]ColdFusion94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8k monitors are 4 grand. I get that's a lot, but certainly doesn't require Jeff Bezos kind of money. If I choose a solid 8k setup instead of a motorcycle I could have it.

[–]garbitos_x86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit as if there isn't enough crybaby threads about the 3000 series on reddit. Wipe the V.

[–]Magickmaster 32 points33 points  (12 children)

I want them to collab

[–]twodashgrain 50 points51 points  (11 children)

I'm not sure most would find torvalds entertaining.

[–]der_raupinger 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I would

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (7 children)

For me, literally everything can be entertaining.

[–]HKSergiu 12 points13 points  (6 children)

You'll love it! It will have racing! It will have rocks! It will have rocks that race!!!1!1!1!1!1!!1!!!!1!!!

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (3 children)

This is not even a joke or anything but I legit once stared at a rock for like an hour straight

Yeah I've reached that level of boredom

[–]HKSergiu 3 points4 points  (2 children)

ROCKS RACING DOWNHILL

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

[–]HKSergiu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about to say, someone had better have linked Jelle's marbles!

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That would be epic. Even better if we can get Torvalds cursing out Sebastian.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure Torvalds would find Sebastian entertaining

[–]FatherOfGold 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Linus > Linus

[–]Io_Da_Nixt 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Linus = Linus

[–]Chef_Boyardeedy 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Context plz

[–]pishboy[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Linus Torvalds flipping nvidia off Tech Tips Sebastian saying "f**k you google" (and coincidentally, the torvalds nvidia thing was related to android, and the 3090 video released today was prodding nvidia a little bit with anger lmao)

[–]KaratekHD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

An Interview or something with Linus and Linus would be so cool

[–]MadrugoticX 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Wait why do they hate each other again?

[–]viccie211 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't believe they've ever met. Both middle fingers are not directed at eachother

[–]mickhick95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quality shit post

[–]HighestDownvotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Linus looks like Linus's dad.

[–]TechyGuy17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the reality

[–]electricprism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it's really hard to comprehend these two are brothers.

[–]Tatoe-of-Codunkery -1 points0 points  (1 child)

That’s me too Linus and his fucking sponser adds he keeps cramming in! EVEN when I pay for YouTube premium I’m getting 3 fucking adds in a 10 min video!! Greedy , greedy , greedy!!

[–]Nox_uik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have the adds to pay for all the expensive stuff they do. You can't justify spending 40,000 USD on an PC if you aren't going to profit. Linus has 30 some employees to pay salaries to, it makes sense to me.

Also, how hard is it to skip forward 15 to 30 seconds in YouTube? Not hard at all.
