The GPU war is heating up, and AMD just made a bold move—undervolting the RX 9070 XT to surpass NVIDIA’s RTX 5080. Is this the best performance per dollar right now?
Scientists have also developed a computer powered by a lab-grown human brain, a breakthrough that could change AI forever. Meanwhile, NVIDIA claims the RTX 50 series is outselling the RTX 40, but the numbers might not be as impressive as they seem. G.SKILL has introduced new DDR5 RAM with extreme speeds, pushing PC performance even further. On top of that, an RTX 5080 MSRP lottery in India is giving only three lucky winners the chance to buy the card at retail price.
Is undervolting going to replace overclocking? Does NVIDIA's sales data hold up under scrutiny? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

00:00Red Rover, Red Rover, Overclocking is, well, it's over.
00:04The new king of performance-enhancing drugs, that's DRUGZ.
00:08Dynamically releasing unlocked GPU Zoomies, known as undervolting,
00:13just increased AMD's performance per dollar enough to deal a KO to the 5080.
00:18As if a $600 card whooping NVIDIA's 5080 wasn't enough,
00:23you can game on a human brain, and NVIDIA's lying to you.
00:27G.Skill, G.Skip the Head, all the way to 2027.
00:31We've got tons of mystery to unravel, so grab your thinking caps, kids.
00:35It's time for MetaPC's News.
00:37Stop! He's already dead!
00:40Oh boy, you guys are gonna love this.
00:42An undervolted RX 9070 XT, yes, undervolted card, beats the RTX 5080.
00:49RX 9070 and 9070 XT models with heavy coolers have massive overclocking headroom.
00:55Massive... taper fade?
00:59AMD's newest RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics cards are setting the gaming world on fire.
01:06Or they would be, if not for limited supply.
01:09What do we call that? MSRP markups? Mostly speculative retail pricing?
01:13The 9070 XT can seemingly edge past NVIDIA's RTX 5080 in real-world performance,
01:20thanks only to undervolting the card.
01:23Wait, so this is like soft overclocking?
01:24Soft overclocking?
01:26Wow!
01:26It's insane!
01:27Both YouTubers saw 10% boosts to FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 on both cards.
01:33Without, again, this is a soft overclock, without adjusting the clock speed in software,
01:40they did nothing to adjust the clock speeds in the software itself, just undervolted the cards.
01:44What's really happening behind closed doors from AMD and NVIDIA,
01:48that they're pumping these out with max power when they could run better with less?
01:54Average FPS in Cyberpunk of 66 frames per second.
01:58Now, he has a voltage offset, this is the undervolting here, minus 170 on there.
02:05Compared to, let's look at the stock 9070 XT.
02:0960 FPS, you're gaining 6 FPS.
02:12Now let's compare this to the Founder's Edition stock.
02:16They're clocked in, this is from Der Bauer again, 65 FPS.
02:19So an extra frame by doing the undervolting on this 9070 XT card.
02:24How is this possible?
02:26Interestingly enough, the stock is actually pulling less max power for the GPU.
02:31I'm guessing it just gives it more headroom.
02:34By using lower voltage, you can pump out.
02:37Add a disclaimer that the stats that we just went over doesn't portray a fair comparison
02:42with the different CPU and RAM.
02:44But what's important here is the 5080, RTX 5080 and the 9070 XT as tested by Der Bauer,
02:50it's on equal testing ground.
02:51So both the same.
02:53Same test benches there for those two cards.
02:55So that's really what we should be focusing on here is that 9070 XT OC that was undervolted
03:01versus this Founder's Edition RTX 5080.
03:03We are looking at a pound for pound heavyweight fight between the 5080 and the 9070 XT.
03:09The 9070 XT is almost $400 cheaper.
03:12This is not a discussion that I thought we would be having.
03:15Not on my bingo card, dude.
03:16This is crazy.
03:17Now, Der Bauer tested with the PowerColor RX 9070 XT Red Devil.
03:21That is the creme de la creme of that 9070 XT.
03:25That PowerColor Red Devil, freaking crazy card.
03:27Changing the voltage offset moves the voltage frequency curve higher or lower, thus lowering
03:32the voltage required to hit higher frequencies.
03:35This is a great example.
03:36Tuning a car's automatic transmission so a lower RPM is needed before automatically
03:40shifting into the next gear.
03:42That helps kind of maybe draw some parallels so people can understand it a little bit better.
03:46We're going to make these things last a lot longer, make them quieter, make them faster.
03:50I sure hope so, man.
03:51What do you guys think?
03:52What do you think about this?
03:53A lot of people in the comments are going AMD, 9070 XT.
03:56Let me know if you're one of them below.
04:00Let's talk about Intel for a second.
04:01Intel?
04:02That's the face of a new CEO.
04:04If you look at his eyes, he's very welcoming.
04:07That's what's going through Lip-Boo-Tan's mind right now.
04:13Intel just appointed him as the chief executive officer.
04:16We love a good board of directors, don't we?
04:18They always make the best decisions, don't they?
04:23An accomplished technology leader with deep semiconductor industry experience.
04:28That's kind of probably who you want heading up Intel for the most part.
04:31I bet that'd look good on a Tinder profile.
04:33It really would, wouldn't it?
04:34Let's pull up his Tinder.
04:36Oh, he really deep semiconductor industry experience.
04:39Dang, I'm swiping on that bad boy.
04:41You know, I think I know what he's going to do for us.
04:43What do you think?
04:44And maybe this was him.
04:46Maybe it was someone else.
04:47But Intel is finally going to launch the XESS2 SDK.
04:54This is big.
04:56Maybe this is what he's going to be championing.
04:58Championing.
04:59Championing.
05:00Champion.
05:01I did it.
05:02I said the word.
05:03This is a lot of frame generation.
05:04We got some AI stuff.
05:05Opening up some more tools for developers.
05:08Intel's very good about developer tools and trying to put them in the right hands of people.
05:12Ever since Intel announced XESS2, gamers on tighter budgets who have considered or just
05:17upgraded to the ARC Battlemage, great graphics card, have been wondering why the development
05:20and implementation of this performance boosting technology had been so slow.
05:25Perhaps the release of the new SDK today.
05:28Maybe that will answer some questions.
05:30XESS2 is now available for download and easy integration in games.
05:34You've got three components.
05:36You have XESSR, which is super resolution.
05:38And then you've got the frame gen and XE low latency.
05:42Intel gets to now hopefully compete a little bit more on the frame generation side of things.
05:47AMD's put a lot of time into this.
05:49NVIDIA, we know, has put their whole life into frame gen.
05:52They've championed it.
05:53So Intel has no choice but to come to battle Mage.
06:00I didn't want to do that.
06:01But you did.
06:02I didn't want to do that.
06:04This is actually really cool because the Battlemage cards have been very, very popular.
06:07And we've seen actually when they were released, everyone was surprised on the drivers.
06:11So I think this will just lead more into Battlemage and future graphics card releases from Intel
06:17with them making updates on the software side.
06:19All right.
06:20What's his name?
06:21Lipbutan.
06:22All right, Lipbutan.
06:23It's up to you.
06:24I'm looking.
06:25I'm looking at you dead in the eyes.
06:26Don't let us down.
06:27Screw GPUs.
06:28You know what?
06:29Forget them.
06:30Screw processing.
06:31I'm done.
06:32Yep.
06:33Game on a human brain.
06:34Gaming on a brain?
06:35Say it ain't so.
06:36It is so.
06:37This is nightmarish.
06:38You could say that again.
06:40$35,000 computer is powered by a lab-grown human brain.
06:44The biological computer system can stay alive for up to six months before it dies.
06:48Oh, God.
06:49And is...
06:50I added that part.
06:51This is an Australian company called Cortical Labs.
06:54The computer known as CL1 is described as the world's first code-deployable biological
06:58computer.
06:59And guess what, boys and girls?
07:01It's available for pre-order.
07:03How much is it?
07:04It's $35,000.
07:05Never mind!
07:06You don't want to buy your own device?
07:08Well, guess what?
07:09They have a hardware as a service, wetware as a service is what it's called, where you
07:15can rent one of these brains that will die in six months.
07:18I hate that they called it wetware.
07:20This is like the equivalent.
07:21This is the software equivalent of saying moist.
07:23Yeah.
07:24Is there sentience happening here?
07:25Are we killing a thing?
07:26Let's not go there.
07:27Let's not dig too deep.
07:28Okay.
07:29I'll go too deep.
07:30Guys, let me know.
07:32I mean, I feel bad about this kind of thing.
07:34According to Cortical Labs, the neurons are placed in a nutrient solution and receive
07:37their information from the company's biological interface operating system, BIOS.
07:42They call it BIOS.
07:43BIOS.
07:44That's not confusing at all.
07:45Great job, guys.
07:46Which creates a simulated world in which neurons receive sensory input and produce responses
07:51that affect the environment.
07:52So what's the point of this?
07:54What are they actually doing with this?
07:56Well, they demonstrated an early version of it.
07:59And what did they do?
08:00They played Pong.
08:09Oh, that's a pretty graphics card.
08:11It is one.
08:12And guess what?
08:13What?
08:14If you are a lucky person, one of three lucky people, you could have a chance to buy it
08:19at MSRP.
08:20What have we done with the world?
08:21This is the equivalent of a Willy Wonka golden ticket to buy a graphics card.
08:27Elite Hubs and Colorful have come up with this beautiful.
08:30That's actually a really cool looking card.
08:31That's really cool.
08:32We're going to be real with you here.
08:33And one of the retailers in India decided to announce a special offer in collaboration
08:37with Colorful, which will enable three people to buy the 5080 cards at MSRP.
08:42The lucky people, humorously called winners, will be asked to pay MSRP.
08:48There's a lot of questions here.
08:49And I think the number one question is why this retailer thought it would be a good
08:53idea to run this promotion.
08:58I mean, it just seems like a weird thing.
09:01It does.
09:02The other thousand of these cards will be sold to scalpers.
09:06But three very, very lucky, lucky people will get to buy this at full MSRP.
09:12I want them to go ahead and just label the cards MSRTX and just let us flex for being
09:19able to actually get it.
09:20You know, whenever you get a good sale and you come home and you're like, hey, guess
09:22how much I spent?
09:23That's what I got.
09:24That's right.
09:25I got $200.
09:26Do I have to sign up in a lottery in order to get a Meta PC?
09:29No, you don't.
09:31It's time for an ad.
09:32Don't you dare click away.
09:33I've done so much for you.
09:34The least you could do is watch this.
09:35Guys, at MetaPCs.com, you can configure a system the way you want it.
09:39You've already got a GPU and you want to just throw it in there.
09:42You go through the configurator, pick all your parts and say, hey, I've got my own GPU.
09:45Just wire it up for me so I can plug it in.
09:47And on the ready to ship page, we have systems like this.
09:50This one didn't even make it on the site.
09:52Phil went through all the effort to take the photo and then it freaking sold.
09:55You've got to constantly be refreshing the page, see what new stuff we're adding every
09:59single day.
10:00It's all at MetaPCs.com, baby.
10:02I even think we have mouse mats at any...
10:06Oh, yeah.
10:07It's weird how they just show up on time.
10:09These are the brand new MetaPCs Hyper Beast mouse mats.
10:11Now, listen, I don't ask for a whole lot other than for you to buy a brand new computer
10:14for me.
10:15But if you're not going to do that, then you can buy one of these mouse mats on Amazon.
10:19All you got to do is look up MetaPCs Hyper Beast.
10:21We have this beautiful design that my two girls love.
10:25They love to color on them with their markers.
10:26Or we have the full color Hyper Beast or the black and gray version of these mouse mats.
10:31Or buy a brand new PC.
10:34Just pick one of the two.
10:35Do it.
10:38NVIDIA proudly claims to have shipped twice as many RTX 50 cards in five weeks than the
10:4440 series.
10:45Lies!
10:46They couldn't be lying.
10:48The primary issue lies in the availability of GPUs during the initial launch period.
10:5240 series, when that was introduced, the only card was the RTX 4090 that was available for
10:58the first five weeks.
10:59What about 50 series?
11:01They had four freaking models.
11:03When they come out with these and say, hey, listen, we shipped twice as many GPUs.
11:06You had four times as many models available.
11:09Of course you did.
11:10Yeah.
11:11What are we celebrating?
11:12So the 40 series, they would have shipped more if you compare those models.
11:17If they released in the same order like they did with the 50 series, they would have definitely
11:20surpassed.
11:21Surpassed the 50 series shipment.
11:23I reject your claim.
11:24Objection!
11:25I'm no expert.
11:26I'm just a guy that sits in front of a green screen.
11:29But let me tell you something.
11:30Something right.
11:31So I 1440p'd myself looking at these G.Skill new RAM modules.
11:39Look at this.
11:40G.Skill announces DDR5 8000.
11:428000?
11:43What?
11:44Where'd 7000 go?
11:45I don't know.
11:46They skipped?
11:47What?
11:48What?
11:49We've got high speed, high capacity and low latency.
11:51Look at this polished image from G.Skill.
11:53We're marketing boys.
11:54That's pretty.
11:55God.
11:56That's what I call marketing.
11:57You can tell this came from a PR statement.
11:59The world's leading brand of overclocked memory and PC components is excited to announce
12:03three new DDR5 specs.
12:05Wow.
12:06DDR5 8000, cast latency 36.
12:07These are 24 gig by two kits.
12:10DDR5 6000, cast latency 28.
12:1348 gigabytes by four.
12:15That's 192 gigs.
12:17That's a fat kit.
12:19That's a fat stack.
12:21DDR5 6000, cast latency 26.
12:2424 gig?
12:25Dude, that's...
12:26That's the kit right there.
12:27That's got those Expo overclock profiles.
12:2848 gigs at 26 cast latency.
12:31Boy, that is juicy.
12:33For that 9950 X3D that just came out.
12:36We've got memory speed timings.
12:38We've got screenshots.
12:39We've got all of the good stuff here for you to help make educated decisions.
12:44But what we're going to look at is just this very simple black and white chart.
12:49I'm learning a lot.
12:50I'm learning so much.
12:51I'm learning so much.
12:52Hey, G-Skill.
12:53Cool.
12:59RTX 5060, 5060 Ti, we've got some leaks coming from a platform in China.
13:05Unfortunately, this anonymous tip came in, but they can't get further details.
13:12Interestingly, the 5060 is said to have 12 gigs of memory, which that would actually
13:17be some new news.
13:19Yeah, it would be actually really good news.
13:21NVIDIA could use three gigabyte GDDR7 modules on the SKU, and that would probably look a
13:27lot better than the eight gigabyte spec that has been kind of rumored up until this point.
13:31Anyway, the 5060 Ti is listed at...
13:35Shall we Google?
13:36Let's do some currency conversion.
13:37Five minutes later.
13:39581 bucks.
13:41Now this is against probably an AIB version of the card, so who knows kind of what we're
13:46looking at exactly.
13:47Also, this is the retail in the MSRP in China, while the 5060 would cost 37.99 yuan, 5.25
13:57in American freedom dollars.
13:59Freedom dollars.
14:00So it's Tuesday when we're recording this, so by the time this comes out, I may be a
14:03total idiot and NVIDIA has already talked about the 5060.
14:06So keep that in mind.
14:07Maybe we'll show it right here.
14:09Did anything show up?
14:10If it showed up, then...
14:12If it showed up, they have to comment.
14:14They have to...
14:15You got to comment.
14:16If it showed up, that means we did some editing.
14:18Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for joining MetaPC's News this week.
14:21Now there's something very, very important.

14:32level up?
14:33No, I'm just naturally this way.
14:34I don't believe in Zen.
14:35I'm not a Zen-er.
