He sees DLSS 5 as an AI filter that overrides artists' intended looks and damaged Nvidia's reputation with gamers.

The first ray tracing generation, a huge step up from the GTX 980 with a score of 3,076 in Steel Nomad.

Easily the best-looking gaming experience he has had, though the gains lean heavily on AI frame generation and Nvidia's marketing is mislea…

Used as an example of Nvidia's misleading 'RTX 4090 performance' marketing, though it uses barely half the energy.

The best consumer card of 2015 now struggles at 720p lowest settings in Cyberpunk and scored just 149 in Steel Nomad.

Called the gold standard in PC graphics until the 5090 replaced it, making ray tracing child's play and adding DLSS 3.

He says the chip finally makes Windows laptops good, with big gains in battery life, standby and camera quality plus useful AI features.

An overengineered $150 webcam that looks ridiculous, gives poor quality, and is made redundant by software eye-contact correction.

Described as the first chip marketed as a GPU, which changed PC and console gaming.

A smart blower-and-vacuum cleaner that worked brilliantly on his keyboard; an easy nine.

A case built to house two PCs at once, one for work and one for play, though he thinks it looks hideous.

Two M1 Max chips fused for double the CPU and GPU performance, which he found shocking, though real-world results outside Apple apps remain…

More cores with weaker performance per core led to a lawsuit, though AMD has since bounced back, 4 out of 10 fail.

Caught detecting benchmarks and boosting performance beyond what apps get; 8/10 fail, though not all chips are affected.

Top-tier PC gaming card that can push most games at 4K, but needs a strong CPU and power supply.

Faster than a 980 Ti and a very good-looking card.

Shown for its LED lighting that syncs with his keyboard.
