40 <p>MINISFORUM has been kicking around the ultra-small form factor scene since 2012 bringing innovative designs to compact enthusiasts and office professionals. MINISFORUM will soon be launching their INDIEGOGO campaign for their upcoming X35G and you can sign up for notifications for when it goes live on their <a href="https://www.minisforum.com/">website</a>.</p>
41 <p>But what is the MINISFORUM X35G? Pretty straightforward it's a super small complete computer system that can be used for pretty much anything you want to do with it, except be a AAA gaming machine of course and that's not a bad thing. It comes packed with the 10th Gen COre i3 1005G1 dual core CPU with Hyperthreading configured at a 15w TDP. This makes for a good home computer for those who need to do remote office work, or a even in the office as it can be strapped to the back of a computer monitor and take up no desk space.</p>
42 <p><a href="https://wccftech.com/minisforum-deskmini-x35g-powered-by-intel-10th-gen-coming-soon/x35g-internal-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-1206354"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1206354" src="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/X35G-Internal-1-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1421" srcset="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/X35G-Internal-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/X35G-Internal-1-410x228.jpg 410w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/X35G-Internal-1-740x411.jpg 740w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/X35G-Internal-1-768x426.jpg 768w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/X35G-Internal-1-1536x852.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/X35G-Internal-1-2048x1137.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/X35G-Internal-1-820x455.jpg 820w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/X35G-Internal-1-1480x821.jpg 1480w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/X35G-Internal-1-1030x572.jpg 1030w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/X35G-Internal-1-1920x1066.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></a></p>
43 <p> </p>
44 <p>You won't be restrained by memory since the X35G comes with fixed 16GB DDR4 3200. Thunderbolt 3 is present here so you could, in theory setup a nice docking station at home and at an office and just drag the unit back and forth. Maybe one of those docks is an eGPU enclosure with a modest graphics card and you can do some light gaming with this little box without toting cables around since it can be powered through the same port.</p>
45 <p>Storage wise you'll find it's compatible with Intel's Optane with a single M.2 2280 NVMe slot available as well as a 2.5" drive sled and an M.2 SATA drive. So storage is a bit more robust than usual for something this small. Intel WiFi6 AX200 will be handling the wireless needs so you'll be getting the latest in WiFi technology.</p>
46 <p>Outside of strapping an eGPU with no more than an entry-midrange graphics card (think GTX 1650 SUPER or RX 5500XT) the Intel UHD Graphics should be capable of at least some good classic emulator support. Running something like ReDream should allow you to setup the X35G as a solid media center and classic gaming emulator system. Pushing out a 4K image with the included HDMI 2.0 port shouldn't be a problem, but playing back 4K content? That remains to be seen.</p>

180 <p>Most of their hubs support the latest technology standards including HDMI 4k (HDCP 2.2) and PW 100W charging as well as Ethernet connections that support over 480 Mbps of data transfer. USB 3.0 is present to extend your USB 3 connections and of course, you don't lose the USB-C port at all since that is provided as well.</p>

283 <p>The first benchmarks of NVIDIA's ultra-enthusiast GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card have leaked out over at <a href="https://videocardz.com/newz/even-more-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3090-benchmarks-leak" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Videocardz</a>. Featured in several 3DMark synthetic workloads, the GeForce RTX 3090 seems to be the best upgrade path for existing RTX 2080 Ti owners who are looking to get faster graphics performance.</p>
284 <h2>NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Graphics Card Benchmarks Leak Out - Around 20% Faster Than The RTX 3080 and Up To 50% Faster Than The RTX 2080 Ti in 3DMark</h2>
285 <p>According to the leaked benchmarks, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX is going to be an insanely fast card. The leak shows the tests within 3DMark Time Spy, Port Royal, and Firestrike benchmarks and a few overclocking numbers. As per the leak, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 easily tops 10,300 points in the Time Spy Extreme and 20,000 points in the Time Spy (Performance) benchmarks. This is up to 20% faster than the GeForce RTX 3080 and up to 50% faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti which makes up for impressive gen on gen performance increase.</p>
286 <p>You can see the performance benchmarks of the GeForce RTX 3090 in the screenshots below (Image credits: <a href="https://videocardz.com/newz/even-more-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3090-benchmarks-leak" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Videocardz</a>).</p>

290 <p>In addition to the standard benchmarks which were run at stock clocks, a member of Overclock.net forums who goes by <a href="https://www.overclock.net/threads/official-nvidia-rtx-3090-owners-club.1753930/page-27#post-28631867" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Vmanuelgm</a>, has got hands on the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3090 Gaming OC & proceeded to shunt mod it. With the mod, the user claims that the power consumption increased from 390W to 550W. The user also posted some benchmarks of the card with the increased power limit that could be seen below.</p>
291 <div class="wp-gallery-outer"><div class="wp-gallery-count"></div><ul class="wp-gallery clearfix"><li><img src='https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-3090-TS-Shuntmod-410x82.jpg' alt='nvidia-geforce-rtx-3090-ts-shuntmod' /></li><li><img src='https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-3090-Port-Royal-Shutmod-1200x243-1-410x83.jpg' alt='nvidia-geforce-rtx-3090-port-royal-shutmod-1200x243' /></li><li><img src='https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-3090-FS-Extreme-Shuntmod-850x172-1-410x83.jpg' alt='nvidia-geforce-rtx-3090-fs-extreme-shuntmod-850x172' /></li><li><img src='https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-3090-FS-Extreme-2-e1600493884429-1200x235-1-410x80.jpg' alt='nvidia-geforce-rtx-3090-fs-extreme-2-e1600493884429-1200x235' /></li></ul></div>

293
294 <p>It looks like with the mod, the user gained a 7% performance increase but you also have to take into account the 41% increase in power consumption which is literally insane. It remains to be seen just how much of an overclock the card can manage within its 390W TGP. The GeForce RTX 3090 is an insane graphics card but those who can't afford the massive price could invest in an RTX 3080 or wait to see what the competition has to offer next month.</p>

379 <p>There aren't any detailed performance numbers that NVIDIA is sharing right now but from what has been <a href="https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-delivers-up-to-100-fps-4k-gaming-max-quality-rtx-on/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">showcased</a>, the RTX 3090 is about as much as 50% faster than the RTX 2080 Ti which is very impressive for the full lineup stack. The GeForce RTX 3090 being the flagship is up to 50% faster than the NVIDIA Titan RTX which is just insane amounts of performance for this flagship BFGPU & is made for up to 8K resolution gaming.</p>

720 <p>The image of the Greek Gods is everchanging. Some might not be able to picture Hades without the slick of blue flamed hair thanks to Disney, while others might see him more as a modern depiction of Death or Satan. The Ancient Greeks didn’t have a definitive look for each of the Gods, and the interpretations varied wildly. But for however many versions of Hades, Zeus, Poseidon and the rest there might be, SuperGiant’s Hades will probably always be the pinnacle.</p>
721 <p>And while I’m obviously talking about the game there, SuperGiant have had an incredible art style since Bastion first launched nine years ago, and they have once again beautifully constructed the world and characters in Hades. As you explore the labyrinthine underworld, you’ll get the chance to meet most of the famous Olympians and their underworld counterpart, and its genuinely exciting to see what they look like in this world. It might not always be what you expect, but it is nevertheless a fitting and beautiful design.</p>
722 <p>But beyond falling in love with the Gods of antiquity, Hades is also about Zagreus, the son of the titular God of the Underworld and his many, many attempts at escaping the underworld.</p>
723
724 <p class="wp-lightbox"><a href="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/hades_1.jpg" ><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1206183" src="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/hades_1.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/hades_1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/hades_1-410x231.jpg 410w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/hades_1-740x416.jpg 740w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/hades_1-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/hades_1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/hades_1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/hades_1-480x270.jpg 480w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/hades_1-820x461.jpg 820w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/hades_1-1480x833.jpg 1480w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/hades_1-1030x579.jpg 1030w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></p>
725
726 <p>SuperGiant have something of a legacy of adding a truly unique spin to a well-established formula, and Hades is no different. Players will recognise the barebones of a roguelike here, albeit lavishly decorated. Each run awards a small progression and incremental bonuses, and with a bit of luck, you can get a little further each time. But while the foundation of the game might feel similar, the rest of the game is nothing like its contemporaries.</p>
727 <p>As you explore the many layers of the underworld, you’ll start gaining access to more and more weapons you can use in your subsequent escape attempts. Each one feels brilliant, with fast, precise, and punchy combat. Each strike feels perfectly weighted for the weapon, from the swing of the sword to the punch of the fists. On top of that, each weapon comes with a special attack, like the bows spread of arrows of the spears javelin throw, and your ability to cast out a red diamond that can damage. To avoid attacks you’ll have ready access to the dash, that lets you escape damage and navigate across the many traps and pitfalls in each of the chambers your explore. All of these make up the basics of the combat and on their own are a lovely, simple, familiar combat system to build a foundation on.</p>
728 <p>But from there the Gods have other designs. Throughout your journey, you’ll reap many boons, and the most exciting are favours from the Gods. These augment your abilities in various ways, and can completely change the way you play run to run. Zeus obviously imbues your attacks with lightning, while Hermes offers speed. Ares adds additional damage to each swing and Athena lets you turn enemy attacks back on yourself. While you might develop favourites as you make your way through, there’s no guarantee who you’ll meet along the way so you best be ready to experiment and adapt each time you play.</p>
729 <p>This constant change is really effective for making the game feel free for hundreds of hours. Not only do the rooms and enemies change, but so does the way you play. And while other roguelikes offer different equipment and bonuses for different runs, none of them are so expressive and varied as one escape attempt compared to another in Hades.</p>
730
731 <p class="wp-lightbox"><a href="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/zagreus_dialogue.jpg" ><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1206225" src="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/zagreus_dialogue.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/zagreus_dialogue.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/zagreus_dialogue-410x231.jpg 410w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/zagreus_dialogue-740x416.jpg 740w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/zagreus_dialogue-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/zagreus_dialogue-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/zagreus_dialogue-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/zagreus_dialogue-480x270.jpg 480w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/zagreus_dialogue-820x461.jpg 820w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/zagreus_dialogue-1480x833.jpg 1480w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/zagreus_dialogue-1030x579.jpg 1030w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></p>
732
733 <p>That said, Hades isn’t the pure roguelike you might expect. For better or worse, it is still a SuperGiant game and comes with their own brilliant storytelling that should not be ignored. While most roguelikes offer a small respite between runs where you can manage your upgrades and take a breath, Hades offers a lot more, but it is a lot more time consuming.</p>
734 <p>Having been slain by the Bone Hydra, one of the Furies or caught short by a random enemy that got the better of you, you’ll probably be desperate to leap straight back out the window and start another run. But for the true Hades experience, for the true SuperGiant experience, you’ll have to slow yourself down. Each run begins in the House of Lord Hades, filled with interesting figures that you can have brief conversations with. From Nyx to Achilles to Hades himself, these conversations filled in the lore of the world, as well as your own quest.</p>
735 <p>Your attempted escape from the underworld, the reason the other Gods are willing to aid you, and even the reason that Hades wants to keep you below are all explored in these conversations, delightfully teased out and hinted it as you progress each run. They are expertly written and performed, and so very interesting to watch unfold. SuperGiant have spent a lot of time and effort crafting these characters and to dismiss it is to miss on a whole section of the game worthy of your time, even if you can’t wait to get back into the action.</p>
736 <p>Missing these also overlooks potential bonuses in combat as well. On your journey, you might come across Nectar, the food of the Gods. This can be gifted to the various NPCs you’ll meet in the House and on the road who might just offer you a keepsake as a reward for such a lovely treat. This, on top of the Darkness and keys you’ll also collect throughout the underworld, are the primary ways in which you can improve your chances going forward. At first you’ll have no clue what each door symbol means as you race through the underworld chambers looking for an exit. But it doesn’t take look to learn what each reward can do and start making the right decision for your run each time you come to a fork in the road.</p>
737 <p>I haven’t even had the chance to mention the music, another staple in SuperGiant games and Hades is by far one of the best soundtracks that Darren Korb has scored so far, blending the unique sound of a SuperGiant game with something that fits so well within the halls and fields of the Greek underworld.</p>
738 <p>Hades is a fantastic game. While the soundtrack and visuals are unsurprisingly brilliant, everything else about is polished to the same bold, confident strokes. The story is much more gripping then it appears and is immersive for even the most fair-weather of Greek mythology fans. The combat is everchanging, ever exciting. The progression is satisfying, well-paced and you’ll always have a goal besides the simple desire to escape. There is, in short, not a single overstanding issue with Hades, and should any judge of the damned ever find the need to evaluate it, they would surely put it in the highest echelons of the afterlife.</p>

770 <p><a href="https://wccftech.com/tag/observer-system-redux/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Observer: System Redux</a>, a remake of Bloober Team’s underrated 2017 cyberpunk thriller, was one of the first games officially announced for next-gen consoles, and appropriately, it’s been confirmed that the game will be a launch title for both the Xbox Series X/S and the PlayStation 5. You can check out the most recent trailer for Observer: System Redux, below.</p>

772 <p>In addition to updated visuals, Observer: System Redux offers up some fresh content. Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect…</p>
773 <blockquote><p>Observer: System Redux brings additional content to the original release, with three new major missions: Errant Signal, Her Fearful Symmetry, and It Runs in the Family, updated characters models, and new locations. This new content is supported by the latest in next-gen features such as 4K resolution, upgraded textures, new animations, models, and effects, all transformed with ray-tracing and HDR lighting.</p></blockquote>
774 <p>Here’s what Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babineo had to say about his game launching alongside the Xbox Series X/S and PS5.</p>
775 <blockquote><p>Making Observer: System Redux available for next-gen console players has been a huge focus for the team. Now that both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 release dates are out there, we can finally share our release date news. We know next-gen pricing is a major concern for our fans and we feel that releasing all the new content and upgrades in Observer: System Redux at the same cost as the original Observer is a great way to stay close with our community.</p></blockquote>
776 <p>Observer: System Redux launches on Xbox One X and Xbox One S on November 10, and PS5 on November 12 or November 19 (depending on which side of the Atlantic you live on). The game will cost $30 and Bloober Team is promising to show more gameplay at <a href="https://tgs.nikkeibp.co.jp/tgs/2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tokyo Game Show</a>, which kicks off on September 24. What do you think? Will you be grabbing Observer: System Redux for your new next-gen console?</p>

800 <p>Electrified powertrain solutions provider XL Fleet today announced today that it would list itself on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) through a merger with Pivotal Investment Corporation II. The merger, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year, will result in shares of Pivotal being traded under the ticker XL on the NYSE.</p>
801 <p>Following the deal's announcement, Pivotal's shares soared to record highs on the open market – a trend was undoubtedly also influenced by an investor presentation that both companies put out at the start of trading today. XL Fleet, unlike some other companies in the sustainable automobility industry, already has its products up and running on the road, and it also expects revenue to touch $75 million by next year. Pivotal's shares (<a href='https://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:PIC' target='_blank' rel='nofollow' class='wccf-stock-quote'>NYSE:PIC</a>) are continuing this trend in the aftermarket as they mark a flurry of activity in yet another special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) play.</p>
802 <p>Given these facts, here are the top five key takeaways from SK Fleet's investor presentation that provide a glimpse into what management hopes to achieve in the near future.</p>
803 <div class="wp-caption clearfix alignnone"><div class="wp-lightbox"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-1206284 size-larger" src="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/XL-FLEET-INVESTOR-PRESENTATION-2-1030x578.png" alt="XL Fleet and its competitors " width="1030" height="578" srcset="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/XL-FLEET-INVESTOR-PRESENTATION-2-1030x578.png 1030w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/XL-FLEET-INVESTOR-PRESENTATION-2-410x230.png 410w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/XL-FLEET-INVESTOR-PRESENTATION-2-740x415.png 740w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/XL-FLEET-INVESTOR-PRESENTATION-2-240x135.png 240w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/XL-FLEET-INVESTOR-PRESENTATION-2-768x431.png 768w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/XL-FLEET-INVESTOR-PRESENTATION-2-1536x862.png 1536w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/XL-FLEET-INVESTOR-PRESENTATION-2-2048x1149.png 2048w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/XL-FLEET-INVESTOR-PRESENTATION-2-480x270.png 480w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/XL-FLEET-INVESTOR-PRESENTATION-2-820x460.png 820w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/XL-FLEET-INVESTOR-PRESENTATION-2-1480x830.png 1480w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/XL-FLEET-INVESTOR-PRESENTATION-2-1920x1077.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px" /></div><div class="wp-caption-text">XL Fleet claims to lead other electrified powertrain solutions providers by a significant margin in its investor presentation.</div></div>
804 <h3>XL Fleet Plans To Target All Categories Of Commercial Vehicles Through Its Powertrains</h3>
805 <p>As opposed to Hyliion, another company that is due to complete its merger with a SPAC soon, SK Fleet targets all categories of medium to heavy vehicles with its products. Even still, the company's data reveals that it leads other similar electric powertrain providers by a <em>mile</em> when it comes to projected units sold this year and the next. Cumulatively for 2020 and 2021, SK expects to have sold roughly powertrain systems, which are five times more than what the company's closest competitor Workhorse is projected to sell.</p>
806 <p>It also highlights that as opposed to all of its competitors, SK is the only company that has a production system in place and that it leads in terms of the models of its products announced. SK's data reveals that it can scale production to deliver more than 100,000 thousand systems in a year and that its products have already been driven more than 130 million miles.</p>

These partners are crucial in equipping vehicles from General Motors, Ford and others with SK's powertrains.</div></div>
808 <h3>Company Believes It Can Scale Installation To 100,000 Units In 18 Months</h3>
809 <p>As opposed to electric vehicle manufacturers who ship out a ready-to-use product from their factories, SK's powertrains require installation partners to equip customer vehicles with the company's powertrains. Its data shows that so far, more than one million vehicles that are being used by brands including DHL, FedEx, Pepsi and Verizon amongst others incorporate SK's powertrains.</p>
810 <p>These powertrains are placed into vehicles from OEMs such as General Motors and Ford, with the process being carried out by SK's Upfit channel partners. At this end, the company states that currently the installation capacity of its partners is at 6,000 vehicles in a year and this can be scaled up to 100,000 units per year in 18 months. SK's installation partners are located all over the United States and even in Canada, with the cross-border integration being critical for heavier class vehicles that often make such journeys.</p>

812 <h3>First Year Of Profitability Is Forecast To Be At 2022 End</h3>
813 <p>Talking revenues, the company forecasts $1.37 billion in revenue by the end of 2024 through a 6% commercial vehicle market penetration. Research cited by SK Fleet in its investor presentation puts the total global addressable market at $1 trillion and looking at its forecast, it's clear that XL hopes to be able to target less than 2% of what is available on the table all over the globe. This is natural given the excessive capital investment that will be required for a global rollout, and taking a look at XL's current operational scope, it should rightly focus on its home continent for the time being.</p>
814 <p>More importantly for shareholders, existing and future, XL Fleet does not expect to generate an operating profit either by the end of this year or the next. The company expects to earn $21 million in revenue by the end of this year and $75 million in revenue by the end of the next, and it expects operating expenses to far outstrip these through negative operating margins of 47% and 20% for 2020 and 2021 respectively.</p>
815 <p>However, by the end of 2022, XL expects to earn a whopping $281 million in revenue and translate this into $31 million operating profit – in what might also be its first year of overall profitability.</p>

817 <h3>Nearly Half of Cash to Balance Sheet From Merger Will Be For Debt Servicing</h3>
818 <p>Once its merger with Pivotal closes, XL hopes to have generated $350 million in funds. The bulk of these funds will be used for debt servicing and growth services reveals the company. Following this, the powertrain manufacturer and service provider will focus on its 'Electrification-as-a-Service' platform. This platform is XL's cloud-based vehicle connectivity product which allows close monitoring of its powertrain performance, remote up-gradation and charging and power management solutions.</p>
819 <p>XL has currently listed three products, XL Hybrid, XL Plug-in and XL Electric in its portfolio. Out of the trio, the XL Hybrid is the most widely used powertrain and the one with the greatest compatibility. Next in line is the XL Plug-in, which according to the company can be used on the Ford F-150 and F-150 vehicles. The XL Electric is the company's only zero-emissions offering and this is currently in development. As opposed to the other two, the XL Electric will be compatible only with vehicle classes above Class 4 and owing to the nature of these vehicles, it will also be the true money earner for the company. $50 million of the proceeds will go towards developing products like this and providing XL with export capability as well, with the remainder of the funds to be utilized for operational scaling and other purposes.</p>

821 <h3>XL Fleet Expects Enterprise Value To Stand At Roughly $1 Billion Post-Merger</h3>
822 <p>Finally, once the merger is complete, XL Fleet expects to have an enterprise value of roughly $1 billion after it has used some of the funds for the aforementioned purposes. The majority of shares in the post-merger entity will belong to XL shareholders and the company will also allow private investors to buy $150 million worth of shares through a PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) offering.</p>
823 <p>All in all, XL Fleet promises to scale up its operations and be profitable in the near-future and cites its workable fleet as evidence of its ability to do so. Yet, the company's revenue projections for this year and the next are not inspiring and its growth hypothesis hinges on an ability to grow revenues from $75 million in 2021 to a staggering $281 million in 2022 – an occurrence that will provide management with a host of complications which will end up deciding their company's future.</p>

849 <p>So, you’re one of the lucky few that has managed to snag a <a href="https://wccftech.com/tag/playstation-5/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">PlayStation 5</a> pre-order, so that means you’re definitely guaranteed to be enjoying Spider-Man and Demon’s Souls in 4K on launch date, right? Not so fast – turns out it may depend on where you pre-ordered from. As reported by <a href="https://twitter.com/Wario64" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gaming deal-finding robot Wario64</a>, Amazon is sending out emails warning PS5 pre-orders may arrive late due to high demand.</p>
850 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
851 <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Amazon has sent an email saying PS5 orders may not arrive on launch date due to high demand <a href="https://t.co/xip55XEwYD">pic.twitter.com/xip55XEwYD</a></p>

853 <p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
854 <blockquote><p>We're contacting your order of PlayStation 5 Console to let you know in advance that you may not receive this item on the day it is released due to high demand. We'll make every effort to get the item to you as soon as possible once released.</p></blockquote>
855 <p>Even in 2020, it seems if you want your new console on launch day, pre-ordering from brick-and-mortar stores is still best. Of course, who knows if even they’ll get their units in a timely fashion, considering what a cluster pre-orders were. Word is Sony will be taking the unusual and expensive step of using air shipping to deliver PS5 units to retailers.</p>
856 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
857 <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Sony are using air freight to ensure that PS5 can meet demand / supply enough units</p>
858 <p>The company has booked 60 flights from October (Delta 747) to ship consoles to retailers. This supply is expected to last through the quarter</p>
859 <p>Air freight is faster than sea, but more expensive.</p>
860 <p>— Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) <a href="https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/1305542890429480967?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 14, 2020</a></p></blockquote>
861 <p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
862 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
863 <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Just to clarify one point. I'm not 100% certain if this is 60 flights, or 60 aircraft. But it does sound like each flight will be full.</p>
864 <p>Source for this is Delta Air Cargo head Jerry Tai.</p>
865 <p>— Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) <a href="https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/1305544118920241153?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 14, 2020</a></p></blockquote>
866 <p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
867 <p>Sony is doing everything they can to get PS5 units into hands, but I could very easily see this last minute airplane scramble not going to plan. Keep your fingers crossed.</p>
868 <p>The PlayStation 5 is scheduled to hit shelves on November 12 in the US, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea. The rest of the world gets their hands on the console on November 19.</p>

896 <p>Want to enable the new Handwashing Timer feature on your Apple Watch? Here’s how you do it in a few easy steps.</p>
897 <h2>Apple has a New Handwashing Timer Feature in watchOS 7, You Can Enable it on Your Apple Watch Right Away</h2>
898 <p>Washing our hands is something which we should be doing on a regular basis anyway. But due to the ongoing pandemic, it’s become more important that we engage in the practice more than ever before in order to keep ourselves, and other, absolutely safe and healthy.</p>
899 <p>Apple realizes the important of washing hands and has baked in a automatic timer with the new watchOS 7 update which kicks into action when you are, wait for it, washing your hands. Called Handwashing Timer, when enabled, it will count down to 20 seconds and will ping you once the timer is up, telling you that you have washed your hands properly. Just in case you are wondering, you have to wash your hands for 20 seconds in order to kill any germs or viruses that may have latched onto your hand. Obviously, the washing technique matters, and the Apple Watch won’t help you in that, but 20 seconds is what you should aim for and watchOS 7 will encourage you on that end.</p>
900 <p>Weirdly enough, the feature is actually disabled by default, but we will show you how to enable it and you can test it out for yourself.</p>
901 <h2>Tutorial</h2>
902 <p>Note: This feature requires watchOS 7 running on the Apple Watch Series 5, Series 4 and Series 3. The newly announced <a href="https://wccftech.com/apple-watch-series-6-with-blood-oxygen-monitor-vo2-max-new-finishes-and-colors/">Series 6</a> and <a href="https://wccftech.com/the-apple-watch-se-is-the-affordable-apple-watch-that-everyone-can-buy/">SE</a> models already have the update preinstalled.</p>
903 <p>Step 1. Press the <em>Digital Crown</em> to view your grid of apps.</p>
904 <p>Step 2. Find the <em>Settings</em> app and tap on it.</p>
905 <p>Step 3. Scroll down and find <em>Handwashing</em>.</p>
906 <p>Step 4. Turn the feature on by tapping on <em>Handwashing Timer</em>.</p>
907 <p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1206268" src="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Enable-Handwashing-timer-1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="656" srcset="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Enable-Handwashing-timer-1.jpg 800w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Enable-Handwashing-timer-1-410x336.jpg 410w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Enable-Handwashing-timer-1-740x607.jpg 740w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Enable-Handwashing-timer-1-768x630.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
908 <p>Step 5. Now simply wash your hands and you will see the timer kick into action, it’s as simple as that.</p>
909 <p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1206269" src="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Enable-Handwashing-timer-23.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="656" srcset="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Enable-Handwashing-timer-23.jpg 800w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Enable-Handwashing-timer-23-410x336.jpg 410w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Enable-Handwashing-timer-23-740x607.jpg 740w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Enable-Handwashing-timer-23-768x630.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
910 <p>Given how Apple highlighted the feature in its WWDC 2020 keynote, it’s very surprising that it is off by default. Anyway, now you know how to enable it and I highly recommend that you tell everyone around you how to do it as well.</p>
911 <p>Keep your hands nice and clean folks, it’s for the best.</p>

1002 <p>iOS 14 brings a really useful feature to the table that allows favorite conversations to appear first. If you use an iPhone, it's all about the ecosystem and Apple's Messaging app. With iOS 14 Apple brought forward a bunch of features centered towards the service. You now have the option to Pin messages with iOS 14 so your favorite conversations appear on top every time you open the app.</p>
1003 <h2>Here Are Two Ways to Pin Messages on iPhone Running iOS 14</h2>
1004 <p>If you have <a href="https://wccftech.com/ios-14-ipados-14-final-with-app-library-compact-siri-home-screen-widgets-released-for-iphone-and-ipad/">updated to iOS 14</a>, there are a bunch of features that you should try right now. The platform now boasts <a href="https://wccftech.com/how-to/add-widgets-on-ios-14-home-screen/">widgets on the Home screen</a> and <a href="https://wccftech.com/how-to/create-customized-widget-stack-ios-14/">widget stacks with customized options</a>. Apart from that iOS 14 now also allows you to Pin your favorite messages so they always appear on top. If you're unfamiliar, here's how to do it.</p>
1005 <p>1. Firstly, open the <strong>Messages</strong> app on your iPhone.</p>
1006 <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1206252" src="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Pin-Messages-in-iOS-14.jpg" alt="Pin Messages in iOS 14" width="350" height="757" srcset="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Pin-Messages-in-iOS-14.jpg 350w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Pin-Messages-in-iOS-14-190x410.jpg 190w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Pin-Messages-in-iOS-14-342x740.jpg 342w" sizes="(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px" /></p>
1007 <p>2. Now, find the conversation that you want to pin.</p>
1008 <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1206253" src="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Pin-Messages-in-iOS-14-2.jpg" alt="Pin Messages in iOS 14" width="350" height="499" srcset="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Pin-Messages-in-iOS-14-2.jpg 350w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Pin-Messages-in-iOS-14-2-288x410.jpg 288w" sizes="(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px" /></p>
1009 <p>3. You can either <strong>Swipe Right</strong> on the conversation and reveal the Pin icon in Yellow OR <strong>long-press</strong> on the conversation and tap<strong> Pin</strong>.</p>
1010 <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1206254" src="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Pin-Messages-in-iOS-14-3.jpg" alt="Pin Messages in iOS 14" width="350" height="757" srcset="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Pin-Messages-in-iOS-14-3.jpg 350w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Pin-Messages-in-iOS-14-3-190x410.jpg 190w, https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Pin-Messages-in-iOS-14-3-342x740.jpg 342w" sizes="(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px" /></p>
1011 <p>4. You will see that the conversation that you have selected is <strong>Pinned</strong> to the top of the Messages app's interface as a dedicated round icon.</p>
1012 <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1206255" src="https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Pin-Messages-in-iOS-14-4.jpg" alt="Pin iOS 14" width="350" height="369" /></p>
1013 <p>5. To unpin a conversation, <strong>long-press</strong> on the pinned icon of the conversation and tap on<strong> Unpin</strong>.</p>
1014 <p>That's all that you have to do in order to pin your favorite conversation in the Messages app on iOS 14. This will make it easier for you to open the dedicated conversation in a jiffy without the need to look for it through the list.</p>
1015 <p>Pinned messages are a pretty neat addition that debuted with iOS 14. Apple is giving users the option to add up to 9 pinned messages which include iMessage as well as standard Green-bubble messages. Once all the 9 places are taken up, you will be notified to unpin any conversation to add the new one.</p>
1016 <p>Have you updated to iOS 14 yet? What is your favorite feature in the update?</p>

1043 <p>CD Project Red just dropped their latest <a href="https://wccftech.com/tag/night-city-wire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Night City Wire show</a>, and it included a colorful new “Postcards from Night City” <a href="https://wccftech.com/tag/cyberpunk-2077/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cyberpunk 2077</a> trailer, new information about the game's gangs, and full PC requirements! You can check out the full Night City Wire livestream below, provided you have around 20 minutes to spare.</p>
1044 <p><iframe title="Cyberpunk 2077 — Night City Wire: Episode 3" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/c_urbl-2gV4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
1045 <p>Here’s that Postcards from Night City trailer on its own. CD Projekt Red has also launched a <a href="https://www.nightcity.love/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">satirical tourism site for Night City</a> you might want to check out.</p>
1046 <p><iframe title="Cyberpunk 2077 — Postcards from Night City" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jNC6MEA4rQk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
1047 <p>Looking good! It’s also nice to know not everyone in the future will be a good dancer. Here’s the overview of the game’s gangs.</p>
1048 <p><iframe title="Cyberpunk 2077 — Gangs of Night City" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/a7_D1qlwOp0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
1049 <p>Assuming the above trailer is a complete accounting, it seems you'll run into nine gangs in Cyberpunk 2077, ranging from the heavily-augmented Maelstrom, to the jacked-up Animals, and self-reliant sex-worker Moxes. CD Projekt Red certainly isn't treading lightly with some of these gangs -- I have a feeling some controversy in headed their way (again).</p>
1050 <p>Finally, Cyberpunk 2077’s Minimum and Recommended PC requirements have been revealed, and surprisingly, they’re not overly demanding.</p>
1051 <p><strong>Minimum System Requirements</strong></p>
1052 <ul>
1053 <li>OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or 64-bit Windows 10</li>
1054 <li>DirectX Version: DirectX 12</li>
1055 <li>Processor: Intel Core i5-3570k or AMD FX-8310</li>
1056 <li>Memory: 8GB</li>
1057 <li>Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 3GB or AMD Radeon RX 470</li>
1058 <li>Storage: 70GB, SDD Recommended</li>
1059 </ul>
1060 <p><strong>Recommended System Requirements</strong></p>
1061 <ul>
1062 <li>OS: 64-bit Windows 10</li>
1063 <li>DirectX Version: DirectX 12</li>
1064 <li>Processor: Intel Core i7-4790 or AMD Ryzen 3 3200G</li>
1065 <li>Memory: 12GB</li>
1066 <li>Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or AMD Radeon R9 Fury</li>
1067 <li>Storage: 70GB SSD</li>
1068 </ul>
1069 <p>Was not expecting to be able to play this game on high settings with 12GB of RAM or a GTX 1060, but clearly the game is no visual slouch, so good on CD Projekt Red for making it happen.</p>
1070 <p>Cyberpunk 2077 launches on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 on November 19. A Google Stadia release is also in the works, and enhanced Xbox Series X and PS5 versions of the game are expected in 2021.</p>

1098 <p>Microsoft has been working <a href="https://wccftech.com/windows-10-20h2-build-19042-508-kb4571756/">on the upcoming</a> Windows 10 20H2 for a while now. The company is today releasing the final build of this version, and has confirmed that the official name would be Windows 10 October 2020 Update.</p>
1099 <p>Windows 10 October 2020 Update's final build number is <strong>19042.508</strong> (KB4571756), which is now rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Release Preview Channel. "We believe that Build 19042.508 is the final build and still plan on continuing to improve the overall experience of the October 2020 Update on customers’ PCs as part of our normal servicing cadence," Brandon Leblanc of Microsoft <a href="https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2020/09/18/preparing-the-windows-10-october-2020-update-ready-for-release/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wrote</a>.</p>
1100 <h2>How to get Windows 10 October 2020 Update (20H2)</h2>
1101 <p>The update is initially being offered to Insiders in the Release Preview Channel via the company's "seeker" experience. Which means if you want to get the update, you need to go to <strong>Settings</strong> > <strong>Update & Security</strong> > <strong>Windows Update</strong> and click on <strong>Check for updates</strong> to download and install the new version.</p>

1104
1105 <p>Those who are signed up with the Beta Channel will get Windows 10 version 2009 automatically via Windows Update. Commercial devices in both the Beta and Release Preview Channels will also get the new version automatically.</p>

1136 <p>The near-ubiquity of a flavor of reduced instruction set computer (RISC) principles designed and patented by British design house Arm Ltd. in the low-power computing applications such as smartphones and the Internet of Things (IoT) has resulted in the company's dominance in the industry. Arm, through its licensing models, provides designers with go-to solutions for their hardware and charges licensing fees - fees which often hamper academic and other uses of the products.</p>
1137 <p>To counter these drawbacks and provide easy use to computing design principles, the RISC-V Foundation has its own instruction set architecture that is free for use for design and academic purposes. In order to promote academic use of RISC-V and facilitate educators in their teaching, another British design house Imagination Technologies Group plc known for its graphics processing units (GPUs), radio equipment and other products, announced at the start of this month that it will include a full undergraduate teaching course on RISC-V in its Imagination University Programme (IUP). Imagination's IUP features courses in mobile graphics and artificial intelligence and its latest course on RISC-V is dubbed "RVfpga: Understanding Computer Architecture”.</p>
1138 <p>To gain a better understanding of what the company hopes to achieve through this course and the thought process that went behind in designing in, Wccftech had a chance to interview Robert Owen, director of Imagination's Worldwide University Programs. Mr. Owen has decades of teaching and industry experience, and through the RISC-V, he hopes to not only diversify the outcomes for computer science students but also broaden his company's profile among tomorrow's developers and designers.</p>

1140 <p><strong>Wccftech: Before we get into the details of the program, I noticed that the program objectives include inculcating an understanding of what is termed as a RISC-V 'Engine'. Could you elaborate more on what this term consists of?</strong></p>
1141 <p>The RISC-V Engine is a huge bubbling part of activity with the likes of Western Digital, Si Five and it's big news for academia as well. Most materials assume you already know about processors. What RISCV enables is for people to pick a processor, and design the SoCs (System-on-Chips) without the need for licenses. If you look at from the undergraduate view, they don’t know what a processor is, how different parts such as memories, registers off-chip memories, on-chip cache memories, timers and counters are linked to make a processor. Linking these components is called the engine. Once students have learned about the engine, they can move forward. This is the major gap we identified in the RISCV system, the gap between what is taught and what the industry knows.</p>
1142 <p><strong>W: What are your primary objectives with the courses?</strong></p>
1143 <p>In addition to academic reasons, we also have a commercial reason for the courses. Students who do the course will become more aware of Imagination Technologies. We are well known in our industry and the project will raise our profile and that of our partners. It will bring us, future customers, in some cases. We use RISCV is some of our designs, A-Series GPU uses a RISC-V controller. We have a vested interest internally in developing the level of knowledge in the industry.</p>
1144 <p>We also want undergraduates to learn something useful and develop an affinity for Imagination. Once the chasm has been crossed, this will make them well-rounded programmers and engineers, and since they will be fascinated by the process, maybe they'll even do a Ph.D. and make their own system on a chip.</p>
1145 <p><strong>W: Given the proliferation of Arm-devices, especially as we head into the 5G era, do you think teaching RISC-V to students will enable them to utilize the upcoming technological changes?</strong></p>
1146 <p>Clearly, Arm is in a very commanding position with the entire 5G market. That’s good for their business. It hasn’t necessarily been best for education because Arm has been very protective of the details of its architecture, it’s also been very reluctant to share its IP with academia in the way we did with MIPS. And still, they’re not on the same level as RISC-V is. You’re not allowed an unrestricted view inside through ARM in the internals to look at details such as how the instruction sets are implemented.</p>
1147 <p>The core used in RVfpga is a Western Digital core that is fully verified and is ready for production after having gone through extra testing you put such components through. Imagination is also using it internally. It is a credible commercial core. Students will work with something that is every bit as credible as Arm. The SweRV core is one of the most developed cores out there. Through this, students will learn through a real product.</p>

1149 <p><strong>W: When designing the course, what key considerations did you take into account?</strong></p>
1150 <p>When designing the course, we kept in mind what I like to term as the four key elements of a winning teaching lab. These are:</p>
1151 <ol>
1152 <li>Whatever hardware it uses can’t be too expensive. If the board you need for exercises is $1000 then it is too expensive for labs that have multiple platforms. Hardware needs to be $200 or less.</li>
1153 <li>Tools need to be free of charge. It’s difficult for universities to license tools. It costs them money. Even if the charge is low, it still puts a barrier for lecturers having to choose it. All these are suicidal for teaching.</li>
1154 <li>Suitable support. These days it’s usually done through a forum. RVFGA will have an educator forum, and we’ll give answers either through Imagination, our partners, our developers, or through the community so that teachers don’t feel alone.</li>
1155 <li>Excellent teaching materials. You need to go to the best teachers if you want the materials. That will persuade hundreds of teachers to go through your course. Sarah Harris from The University of Nevada is our principal author. She has authored Digital Design and Computer Architecture and we are lucky to have her. Next year we’ll also have a RISC-V edition of her book. With Harris, Daniel Chavez, UCM Madrid is also behind our teaching materials. They are a fantastic team. David Patterson (Vice-Chair of the RISC-V Board of Directors) has blessed this course.</li>
1156 </ol>
1157 <p><strong>W: Even though this course has been designed primarily for educators, will others who are interested to broaden their knowledge base or learn more about RISC-V be able to benefit from it?</strong></p>
1158 <p>When we did MIPS FPGA, it was academic only. We’re taking a much more liberal approach this time. Even though you have to have a clear target to make the materials work. You must not try to target everyone. Yes, it does have value for people starting out in the industry, people who are looking to upgrade their skills. It will be available through MOOCs.</p>
1159 <p>We’re taking multiple routes. The primary route expect is teachers taking the materials and adopting it for their classes. We are also in active discussions in the U.S. and China to get on to MOOCs. We’re about to launch a mobile graphics course in China on a MOOOC there which will also give us hands-on experience. We will run workshops for teachers to help them in setting up and familiarizing themselves with the course. These will be online, there will be online training videos from us and we’ll run workshops. Companies will also be able to use this course internally just like Imagination plans to do.</p>
1160 <p><strong>W: That's it from our end. Thank you for having us Robert, we've learned a lot through this interview. </strong></p>
1161 <p>Thank you as well!</p>
1162 <p>Materials for IUP's RVfpga course will be released in English in November and to gain access, those interested will have to sign up for the IUP. Robert will also be giving a webinar on the course in October (<a href="https://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?target=reg20.jsp&partnerref=PR&eventid=2607666&sessionid=1&key=EFAA007E11691CC380DC15E08EFBDDF0&regTag=&sourcepage=register" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">link here</a>), and those looking for Sarah Harris and Daniel Chaver's presentation at the RISC-V Global forum, <a href="https://static.sched.com/hosted_files/riscvglobalforum2020/d7/RVfpga_%20HarrisChaver_RISC-V_GlobalForum2020.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">head over here</a>.</p>

1189 <p>A few days ago we reported how <a href="https://wccftech.com/samsung-handling-all-qualcomm-snapdragon-875-orders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Samsung will be handling all the Snapdragon 875 orders</a>, and while the news was certainly an exciting one, the tip we received today is even better. According to our source, there is a chance that the Samsung Exynos 1000 might actually be better than the Snapdragon 875 that is going to be featured in the flagships smartphones that are going to come out in 2021.</p>
1190 <h2>Tipster Claims That The Samsung Exynos 1000 Could be Better or Equal to the Snapdragon 875 SoC</h2>
1191 <p>The tip is coming from <a href="https://twitter.com/UniverseIce" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ice universe</a> who claims that both the Snapdragon 875 and Exynos 1000 are going to come with a 1+3+4 core configuration. This means that both chips will have one prime core, three performance cores, and four efficiency cores that will make up the entirety of the chipset.</p>
1192 <p>With that said, ARM also unveiled their new flagship CPU core designs earlier this year called the Cortex A-78, ARM has claimed that there is a 20% CPU performance and up to 50-% less power consumption for the same performance, in the first place. Which means that this bump is not something to be taken lightly, in the first place.</p>
1193 <p>However, that was not all, ARM also introduced the performance-based X1 core, which was the direct result of ARM's CXC program which is responsible for working with different partners to create custom cores. the X1 claimed to be 21% faster than the new Cortex-A78 in integer calculations, with a 30% peak performance when compared to the Cortex-A77. It also brings enhanced machine learning capabilities. The X1 core is definitely bigger and consumes more power than the A-78, which means that seeing chips with multiple X1 cores might not happening any time soon.</p>
1194 <p>Now the 1+3+4 configuration would start making sense if the Exynos 1000 brings the X1 core which could handle the tasks that require the maximum performance, with three Cortex A-78 cores, for the normal day-to-day tasks, and four Cortex-A55 cores for tasks that don't require a lot of power, in the first place.</p>
1195 <p>This should, in theory, help the Exynos 1000 be at par with the Snapdragon 875 or even defeat it. However, the more important thing that you must keep in mind right now is that neither of this is confirmed, so we are not sure what chips will be featured in the <a href="https://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s21-firmware-work-started/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Galaxy S21</a> when it will launch next year.</p>
1196 <p>With the whole Exynos 990 vs Snapdragon 865 fight going out of hand with Snapdragon winning fair and square, Samsung will really need to step up their game if they wish to beat Qualcomm and keep the international consumers happy.</p>

1223 <p>When the <a href="https://wccftech.com/tag/ps5/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">PlayStation 5</a> launches in November, there will be two models available, one with a disc drive and one without, but the guts of the machines will be the same. This is in contrast to Microsoft, which is offering two completely different consoles – the cheaper, less-powerful <a href="https://wccftech.com/tag/xbox-series-s/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Xbox Series S</a> and the high-end <a href="https://wccftech.com/tag/xbox-series-x/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Xbox Series X</a>. Sony seems confident in their approach, but in a new interview with <a href="https://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/series/rt/1277888.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Japanese site AV Watch</a>, Jim Ryan admits they considered a less-powerful PS5 model, but ultimately found the prospect to be “problematic” (thanks to <a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/series-s-style-consoles-have-not-had-great-results-says-playstation-boss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Video Games Chronicle for the translation</a>).</p>
1224 <blockquote><p>One thing that can be said is that if you look at the history of the game business, creating a special low priced, reduced spec console is something that has not had great results in the past. We’ve considered that option and seen other executives who have attempted this discover how problematic it is.</p>
1225 <p>Based on our research, it’s clear that people who buy a game console want to continue using it for four, five, six or even seven years. They want to believe they have bought something that is future-proofed and not going to be outdated in two-to-three years. They want to have faith that if they end up buying a new TV that their current console will be able to support that new 4K TV they are considering on buying.</p></blockquote>
1226 <p>Have to agree with Ryan – it may seem counterintuitive to some, but when a new piece of tech comes out, most people want the premium model. The iPhone 11 has outsold the iPhone SE, the regular Switch has continued to outsell the Switch Lite, and so on. Less powerful models only gain traction when you release them first (like with the standard PS4 and PS4 Pro), which I suspect is the strategy we’ll see from Sony.</p>
1227 <p>The PlayStation 5 launches on November 12 in North America and Australia, and November 19 in the rest of the world. Pre-orders are open now, but good luck finding one.</p>

1255 <p>Earlier in the month, Lenovo had published a support document notifying its ThinkPad users that they might get BSOD and Device Manager issues after installing the August 2020 cumulative update for Windows 10 <a href="https://wccftech.com/direct-download-windows-10-iso-files-for-version-2004-32-bit-64-bit/">version 2004</a>. The company had <a href="https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/ca/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x1-carbon-7th-gen-type-20r1-20r2/solutions/HT511000-PROBLEMS-CAUSED-BY-ENHANCED-WINDOWS-BIOMETRIC-SECURITY-BIOS-SETTING-THINKPAD" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">advised</a> to disable the Enhanced Windows Biometric Security setting in BIOS Setup > Security > Virtualization menu.</p>
1256 <p>After over two weeks, the Windows maker has now issued its own support document detailing what causes the problems and adding a warning that the Lenovo-suggested workaround "may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses."</p>
1257 <h2>What's the latest Windows 10 BSOD issue</h2>
1258 <p>Microsoft clarifies that the issue wasn't brought through the August Patch Tuesday update, but with the July <a href="https://wccftech.com/windows-10-version-2004-kb4568831-build-19041-423/">KB4568831</a> (Build 19041.423) Preview update. Lenovo ThinkPad devices, after installing the July or a newer update, experience a<strong> Stop error</strong> aka bugcheck or blue screen error.</p>
1259 <blockquote><p>The codes that are associated with the error are “SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED” (in the Stop error message screen) and “0xc0000005 Access Denied” (in memory dumps files and other logs). The associated process is ldiagio.sys.</p></blockquote>
1260 <p>Microsoft explained that these latest Windows 10 cumulative updates restrict "how processes can access peripheral component interconnect (PCI) device configuration space if a Secure Devices (SDEV) ACPI table is present and Virtualization-based Security (VBS) is running." The company said that these new restrictions are there to prevent malicious processes from modifying the configuration space of secure devices. Lenovo ThinkPad manufactured in 2019 and 2020 meet the conditions that trigger these errors.</p>
1261 <p>"When Lenovo Vantage software runs, some versions may try to access PCI device configuration space in an unsupported manner," the company wrote. "This action causes a Stop error to occur."</p>
1262 <p>Microsoft has also offered the same temporary workaround that was shared by Lenovo earlier.</p>
1263 <blockquote><p>To temporarily mitigate this problem, edit the device UEFI configuration (in the Security > Virtualization section) to disable Enhanced Windows Biometric Security. This change disables the restrictions that are enabled by the SDEV table and VBS.</p></blockquote>
1264 <p>However, the company added the following warning that has since been removed:</p>
1265 <blockquote><p>This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.</p></blockquote>
1266 <p>Microsoft said that both the companies are working on a fix but didn't share when to expect it. More details about the problem can be found in this support <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/4580649/stop-error-on-lenovo-thinkpad-that-has-kb4568831-or-a-later-update-and" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">document</a>.</p>

1302 <p>Keeping their tradition alive of launching a new GeForce graphics architecture every two years, this year, NVIDIA introduces its Ampere GPU. The Ampere GPU is built upon the foundation set by Turing. Termed as its biggest generational leap, the NVIDIA Ampere GPUs excel previous generations at everything.</p>
1303 <p>The Ampere GPU architecture has a lot to be talked about in this review, but so does the new RTX lineup. The Ampere lineup offers faster shader performance, faster ray tracing performance, and faster AI performance. Built on a brand new process node and featuring an architecture designed from the ground up, Ampere is a killer product with lots of numbers to talk about.</p>
1304 <p>The fundamental of Ampere was to take everything NVIDIA learned with its Turing architecture and not only refine it but to use its DNA to form a product in a completely new performance category. Tall claims were made by NVIDIA when they introduced its Ampere lineup earlier this month & we will be finding out whether NVIDIA hit all the ticks with its Ampere architecture as this review will be your guiding path to see what makes Ampere and how it performs against its predecessors.</p>

1309 <h2 style="text-align: center;">NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series Gaming Graphics Cards - The Biggest GPU Performance Leap in Recent History</h2>
1310 <p>Turing wasn't just any graphics core, it was the graphics core that was to become the foundation of future GPUs. The future is realized now with next-generation consoles going deep in talks about ray tracing and AI-assisted super-sampling techniques. NVIDIA had a head start with Turing and its Ampere generation will only do things infinitely times better.</p>

1328 <p>The technologies mentioned above are some of the main building blocks of the Ampere GPU, but there's more within the graphics core itself which we will talk about in detail so let's get started.</p>
1329 <h3 style="text-align: center;">NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series Pricing Per Segment</h3>
1330 <p>NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 30 series is made up of a diverse portfolio of graphics cards. Currently, you will only be limited to the higher-end configurations starting at $499 US for the GeForce RTX 3070, $699 US for the GeForce RTX 3080, and $1499 US for the GeForce RTX 3090. NVIDIA themselves call the GeForce RTX 3080 as the flagship graphics card and not the GeForce RTX 3090.</p>
1331 <p>The RTX 3080 & RTX 3070 are both priced well and in-line with their predecessors but the GeForce RTX 3090 goes all out with a price of $1499 US. NVIDIA calls the GeForce RTX 3090 as the "BFGPU" and as per the terminology, it seems like this is a new marketing name for the Titan graphics card. It is likely that we could see a Titan based card under the Quadro branding with faster specs out of the box but the GeForce RTX 3090 is purely a gaming graphics card first with all the horsepower for intense professional and workstation workloads.</p>
1332 <p>With that said, the GeForce RTX 3080 replaces the RTX 2080 SUPER at the same price point and the GeForce RTX 3070 replaces the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER at the same price point. Given this trend, we might see the more mainstream variants cost just as much as their RTX 20 SUPER series cards but with a higher performance out of the box.</p>

1402 <p>So for this review, I will be taking a look at the <strong><a href="https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-RTX-3080-GAMING-X-TRIO-10G/Overview" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio</a>. </strong>The Gaming X Trio comes in at a $60 US premium over the reference MSRP with a price of $760 US. At this price, you get a triple-fan cooling solution and a factory overclock out of the box. Let's find out how well the GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio performs compared to the last-generation Gaming X Trio RTX 2080.</p>
1403 <h3 style="text-align: center;">The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Graphics Card</h3>
1404 <p>The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is a force to be reckoned with. It is the ultimate gaming GPU that is surprisingly much faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti which is its Turing based predecessor but is also much cheaper at just $699 US. The GeForce RTX 3080 carries more cores, more memory, higher performance efficiency, and also carries next-generation ray-tracing and tensor cores that make this a truly next-generation graphics card.</p>
1405 <p>NVIDIA designed the GeForce RTX 3080 not just for any gamer but all gamers who want to have the best graphics performance at hand to power the next-generation of AAA gaming titles with superb visuals and insane fluidity. It's not just the FPS that matters these days, its visuals, and a smoother frame rate too and this is exactly what the GeForce RTX 30 series is made to excel at. There's a lot to talk about regarding NVIDIA's flagship Ampere gaming graphics cards so let's start off with the specifications.</p>

1518 <h2 style="text-align: center;">The MSI Gaming X Trio Graphics Cards With 2nd Tri-Frozr Cooling</h2>
1519 <p>With the differences out of the way, now let's talk about the similarities and the main highlights of the Gaming X Trio design. The Gaming X Trio is a toned-down variant of the much higher-end card, the MSI Lightning. Both cards use advanced Tri-Frozr coolers which are the replacement of the MSI Twin Frozr series which have been widely used in current and last generation graphics cards from MSI.</p>

1528 <p class="text-left">The latest iteration of MSI’s iconic GAMING series once again brings performance, low-noise efficiency, and aesthetics that hardcore gamers have come to recognize and trust. Now you too can enjoy all your favorite games with a powerful graphics card that stays cool and silent. Just the way you like it.</p>
1529 </blockquote>
1530 <p>MSI has incorporated and refined a couple of things in the new Tri-Frozr design for Gaming X Trio graphics cards. First is the TORX fan 4.0 which uses a ring design that connects two fan-blades with each other to increase airflow towards the internal heatsink assembly. These fans are made up of a double ball bearing design which ensures silent functionality in heavy loads.</p>
1531 <div class="wp-gallery-outer"><div class="wp-gallery-count"></div><ul class="wp-gallery clearfix"><li><img src='https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/2020-09-18_15-25-01-410x231.png' alt='2020-09-18_15-25-01' /></li><li><img src='https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/2020-09-18_15-25-03-410x231.png' alt='2020-09-18_15-25-03' /></li><li><img src='https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/2020-09-18_15-25-05-410x231.png' alt='2020-09-18_15-25-05' /></li></ul></div>
1532
1533
1534 <p>The fans are fully compliant with the Zero Frozr Technology and are actually comprised of three areas. All of these would stay at 0 RPM (idle state) if the temperatures don't exceed 60C. When it does exceed 60C, all fans would start spinning. You can change that through the MSI configuration panel if you want more cooling performance over noise load but it's a nifty feature that I do like.</p>
1535 <div class="wp-gallery-outer"><div class="wp-gallery-count"></div><ul class="wp-gallery clearfix"><li><img src='https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/2020-09-18_15-25-08-410x231.png' alt='2020-09-18_15-25-08' /></li><li><img src='https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/2020-09-18_15-25-11-410x231.png' alt='2020-09-18_15-25-11' /></li><li><img src='https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/2020-09-18_15-25-13-410x231.png' alt='2020-09-18_15-25-13' /></li></ul></div>
1536
1537
1538 <p>In addition to the cooling fans, the heatsink has been designed to be denser by using the brand new wave curved 2.0 fin design. The new heatsink makes use of deflectors to allow more air to pass through the fins smoothly, without causing any turbulence that would result in unwanted noise. MSI estimates a 2 degrees (C) drop in temperatures with the updated design versus the previous generation cooling system.</p>

1541
1542 <p>Talking about the heatsink, the massive block is comprised of seven copper squared shaped heat pipes with a more concentrated design to transfer heat from the copper base to the heatsink more effectively. The base itself is a solid nickel-plated base plate, transferring heat to the heat pipes in a very effective manner. To top it all off, MSI uses their exclusive Thermal Compound X which is said to offer higher thermal interface and heat transfer compared to traditional TIM applications.</p>

1546 <p>Rocking a classy brushed look, the backplate on the GAMING TRIO series provides a nice visual finish to the card. It also strengthens the card and thanks to some cleverly placed thermal pads even helps to keep temperatures low.</p>

NVIDIA has bet the future of their gaming GPUs on Ray Tracing support as these are the first cards to offer support for the new feature.</p>

1557 <p>The back of the box is very typical, highlighting the main features and specifications of the cards. The three key aspects of MSI's top tier custom cards are its blazing performance which is achieved by fully custom design, the new Tri-Frozr cooling system, and a new wave-curved 2.0 heatsink which will offer better cooling performance compared to the traditional flat-surfaced fin heatsinks.</p>
1558 <p>There's also a focus towards GeForce.com on each AIB card through which users can download the latest drivers and GeForce Experience application which are a must for gamers to access all feature sets of the new cards.</p>

1562 <p>The sides of the box once again greet us with the large GeForce RTX branding. There's also the mention of 10 GB GDDR6 (RTX 3080) memory available on the card. The higher memory bandwidth delivered through the new GDDR6X interface would help improve performance in gaming titles at higher resolution over GDDR6 and GDDR5X based graphics cards.</p>
1563 <p>Outside of the box, the graphics card and the accessory package are held firmly by foam packaging. The graphics card comes with a few accessories and manuals which might not be of much use for hardcore enthusiasts but can be useful for the mainstream gaming audience.</p>

1567 <p>The card is nicely wrapped within an anti-static cover which is useful to prevent any unwanted static discharges on various surfaces that might harm the graphics card. The card accessories include a Molex power connector which isn't of much use in high-end systems since the PSUs already have the required cables.</p>

1571 <p>The most interesting accessory that I found in the package was a graphics card support bracket. This bracket connects the graphics card to the casing, offering better durability and prevents any sort of bending that may occur due to the heavyweight of the Gaming X Trio series graphics cards.</p>
1572 <p>Useful manuals and installation guides are packed within an MSI labeled letter case. There is an MSI Quick Users Guide, a Support bracket installation guide, a sticker letter, the MSI DIY comic, and a single driver's disk. It's best to ignore the driver disk and install the latest software and graphics drivers directly from the NVIDIA and MSI official web pages as the ones shipped in the disks could be older versions and not deliver optimal performance for your graphics cards.</p>

1576 <p>After the package is taken care of, I can finally start talking about the card itself. This thing is a beast and I can't wait to test it out to find what kind of performance improvement I get over current-gen cards.</p>

1581 <p>MSI’s Tri Frozr heat sinks are some of the biggest heatsink cooling solutions that I have ever tested. I first tested the Gaming X Trio when MSI released the <a href="https://wccftech.com/review/msi-geforce-gtx-1080-ti-gaming-x-trio-graphics-card-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1080 Ti</a> variant back in 2017 and that was a very aggressive design in its own right. With the RTX 30 series cards, MSI has further refined the Gaming X Trio design. The card measure the same at 323 x 140 x 56 mm and weighs in at 1565 grams. The card is also slightly taller at 2.7 slots height compared to 2.5 slots height of the previous model.</p>

1585 <p>You would have to keep in mind the height when going for a dual card solution as your case or motherboard PCIe slot combination may not allow such setup. The cooling shroud extends all the way to the back of the PCB and it requires a casing with good interior space for proper installation.</p>

1593 <p>In terms of design, we are looking at an updated version of the Tri Frozr heatsink which is now in its sixth variation while for the Gaming X series, this is the 2nd iteration. The first variation started off with the GTX 780 Ti Lightning, the second was the 980 Ti Lightning, then came the 1080 Ti Gaming X Trio, the 1080 Ti Lightning, and then the RTX 20 and RTX SUPER Gaming X Trio graphics cards.</p>

1597 <p>The new heatsink looks like a beefed-up version of the Gaming X Trio with the main changes being the shroud and heatsink design that feature an aggressive shroud design on the front, absorbing the black and silver color platelets while featuring the RGB emitting acrylic cutouts at the front. The sides also come with a large RGB accent bar which lits up when the card is powered on.</p>

1601 <p>Coming to the fans, the card actually features two different fan designs based on the Torx 4.0 system. All three fans feature a ring-based design to allow for higher airflow to be channeled within the main heatsink. All fans deploy double ball bearing design and can last a long time while operating silently.</p>

1609 <p>In the case of the Tri Frozr heatsink, that limit is set to 60C. If the card is operating under 60C, the fans won’t spin which means no extra noise would be generated.</p>

1613 <p>I am back at talking about the full-coverage, full metal-based backplate which the card uses. The whole plate is made of solid metal with rounded edges that add to the durability of this card. The brushed matte-black finish on the backplate gives a unique aesthetic.</p>

1617 <p>There are cutouts in screw placements to easily reach the points on the graphics card. We can also see the MSI Dragon logo on the back which looks stunning. MSI is also using heat pads beneath the backplate which offer more cooling to the electrical circuitry on the PCB. The most interesting thing to spot on the back aside from the backplate is the large retention metal bracket which adds more mounting pressure to effectively disperse heat from the GPU to the heatsink.</p>

1621 <p>With the outsides of the card done, I will now start taking a glance at what's beneath the hood of these monster graphics cards. The first thing to catch my eye is the humungous fin stack that's part of the beefy heatsink which the cards utilize.</p>

1625 <p>The large fin stack runs all the way from the front and to the back of the PCB and is so thick that you can barely see through it. It also comes with the wave-curved 2.0 fin stack design which I want to shed some light on as it is a turn away from traditional fin design and one that may actually offer better cooling on such power-hungry graphics cards such as the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090.</p>

1629 <p>The heatsink has been designed to be denser by using a wave curved fin design. It allows more air to pass through the fins smoothly, without causing any turbulence that would result in unwanted noise. Airflow Control Technology guides the airflow directly onto the heat pipes, while simultaneously creating more surface area for the air to absorb more heat before leaving the heatsink.</p>

1633 <p>Talking about the heatsink, the massive block is comprised of seven copper squared shaped heat pipes with a more concentrated design to transfer heat from the copper base to the heatsink more effectively. The base itself is a solid nickel-plated base plate, transferring heat to the heat pipes in a very effective manner. To top it all off, MSI uses their exclusive Thermal Compound X which is said to offer higher thermal interface and heat transfer compared to traditional TIM applications.</p>

1709 <h3>Red Dead Redemption 2</h3>
1710 <p>Developed by Rockstar San Diego, Red Dead Redemption II is one of the most visually stunning open-world games I've played to date that is backed up by a rich story set around the protagonist, Arthur Morgan. The game is based on the RAGE engine which features an insane amount of graphics fidelity but also requires a lot of power to run maxed out. For the purpose of this test, we set the graphics settings to Ultra with AA turned disabled.</p>

1758 <p>Wolfenstein is back in The New Colossus and features the most fast-paced, gory, and brutal FPS action ever! The game once again puts us back in the Nazi-controlled world as BJ Blazkowicz. Set during an alternate future where Nazis won the World War, the game shows that it can be fun and can be brutal to the player and to the enemy too. Powering the new title is once again, id Tech 6 which is much acclaimed after the success that DOOM has become. In a way, ID has regained their glorious FPS roots and are slaying with every new title.</p>

1997 <h3>Deus Ex: Mankind Divided</h3>
1998 <p>Humanity is at war with itself and divided into factions. On one end, we have the pure and on the other, we have the augmented. That is the world where Adam Jensen lives in and this is the world of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The game uses the next generation Dawn Engine that was made by IO interactive on the foundation of their Glacier 2 engine. The game features the support of DirectX 12 API and is one of the most visually intensive titles that taxes the GPU really hard.</p>

2045 <h4>Death Stranding</h4>
2046 <p>Sam Porter Bridges has delivered one of PS4's most anticipated games to the PC community and opened a whole new world of possibilities. This was the first game to feature the Decima Engine on PC and unarguably did it the best. Death Stranding may not feature ray tracing effects but it does showcase that DLSS can be used effectively even when RT isn't around. We tested this one just like we did in our launch coverage with DLSS enabled.</p>

2424 <h3>Assassins Creed: Origins</h3>
2425 <p>Assassins Creed Origins is built by the same team that made Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag. They are known for reinventing the design and game philosophy of the Assassins Creed saga and their latest title shows that. Based in Egypt, the open-world action RPG shows its graphics strength in all corners. It uses the AnvilNext 2.0 engine which boosts the draw distance range and delivers a very impressive graphics display.</p>
2426 <p>We tested the game at maxed settings with TAA enabled and 16x AF. Do note that the game is one of the most demanding titles out in the market and as such tweaks and performance issues are being patched out.</p>

2715 <p>I compiled the power consumption results by testing each card under idle and full stress when the card was running games. Each graphics card manufacturer sets a default TDP for the card which can vary from vendor to vendor depending on the extra clocks or board features they plugin on their custom cards. Default TDP for the RTX 3080 is set at 320W while the MSI custom model has a TDP of 340W.</p>
2716 <p>Also, it's worth noting that the 8nm process from Samsung increases the density by around 2x versus the previous generation. NVIDIA is cramping even larger amounts of transistors and more cores than their previous cards, making it one of the densest chips built to date. It's likely to consume a lot of power and the results are reflective of that.</p>

2764 <p>MSI's GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio is an insanely fast graphics card considering its price versus the previous flagship, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. Coupled with a new cooling solution, a brand new aesthetic and a nice factory overclock, the graphics card delivers amazing performance at a $60 US premium.</p>
2765 <p>The sample I received was able to run way past its rated boost clocks of 1815 MHz and average around 2045 MHz while gaming. The most interesting part about the Gaming X Trio is that within Afterburner, you could increase the power limit by just 3% which is much lower than what the Founders Edition has to offer out of the box (+16%). That raises the total board power to 350W while the factory configured card runs at 340W. There's so little you can do with this amount of power and hence MSI has stated that they will be releasing higher-binned Ampere variants in the near future so expect Lightning to really push Ampere to its limits.</p>

2769 <p>As fir the cooling solution, the new Gaming X Trio design is built for the power-hungry Ampere chips and does a pretty good job keeping the card under 75C even in stress tests. For gaming, the average temperatures were around 64-68C. The card isn't that bulky and should fit inside most cases with relative ease and the triple-fan solution comes with 0db fan technology which unless or until you're touching 60C won't spin at all. This allows lower noise levels when you're not doing any graphics-intensive tasks.</p>

2773 <p>The RGB is not overdone and the Mystic Light cuts on the front and sides provide really good aesthetics of the card itself. MSI is charging a $60 US premium for its GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio graphics card. This price is in-line with other variants that were listed yesterday however, we don't know if anyone can get hands-on the cards considering the entire situation that took place yesterday. If you can find the GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio for around $760 US or close, then it's a great option with a nice factory overclock which grants you a few extra FPS in games. Aside from that, the cooler is top-notch and the custom-designed PCB makes sure that the RTX 3080 GPU maintains its higher clock speeds stable throughout your gaming experience for performance that easily outperforms the gargantuan GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Lightning Z.</p>
