Season 2 Episode 14 "Double Take"
Hello gang we have a full manifest on our flight today. We take a in depth look at the reality of the continuing thermal issues of the current generation of Nvidia 30 series cards. What's the difference between heat of the card causing thermal throttling and high V RAM temps and, why they are so potentially damaging to the cards themselves? Is there purposeful miss information going on? We do a virtual build of a system you can build right now that will push MSFS all parts available. How would such a build compare to X-Box Series X? What's the overall difference between a X-Box experience and a PC experience in MSFS and why that's important and why it's not. And come along with my first experience of MSFS on the X- Box Series X, the good, the bad, and the confusing lol.... So this program hits a lot ! Seating is limited so find your boarding pass, and have an attendant get you a beverage of your choice because we're taking off soon. Wheels Up!
