In this week's show, the team discuss the Nvidia RTX 4000 reveal, the new tech on offer and the backlash over RTX 4080 pricing. The new RT Overdrive rendition of Cyberpunk is discussed along with the rich potential of RTX Remix. Elsewhere, PS1 Classics' first European 60Hz release proves to be fundamentally flawed, John has issues with the new Star Ocean demo - but it looks like there's good news about improvements to Xbox's restrictive DRM.

The thumbnail is three men speculating about how many weeks it will take for them to be able to get some proper sleep again. Loving your sacrifice for the greater good, but make sure to rest and eat Döner Kebab!

I don't personally really believe Jensen's "Moores Law is dead" line. They've just been caught with their pants down with the collapse of the crypto market and the margins associated with it and I find it believable they would want to find any excuse to maintain such margins. With EVGA's departure from the space and any sort of goodwill towards them basically evaporate in the GPU space for playing video games, they are getting extremely arrogant and I would argue worse than Intel was before AMD launched Ryzen.

The importance of negative PR is greatly overstated. What matters more is how the PC market is going and where crypto is at. Nvidia will sell these GPUs once we’re out of the depressed market situation and the next crypto bubble starts to form.
