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 DRU-GZ.
00:08Dynamically releasing unlocked GPU Zoomies,
00:11known as undervolting,
00:13just increased AMD's performance per dollar
00:15enough 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,
00:25and 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,
00:33so grab your thinking caps, kids.
00:35It's time for Meta PC's News.
00:37Stop! He's already dead!
00:41Oh boy, you guys are gonna love this.
00:42An undervolted RX 9070 XT, yes, undervolted card,
00:47beats the RTX 5080.
00:49RX 9070 and 9070 XT models with heavy coolers
00:52have massive overclocking headroom.
00:55Massive taper fade?
00:58AMD's newest RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics cards
01:04are setting the gaming world on fire,
01:06or they would be if not for limited supply.
01:09What do we call that? MSRP markups?
01:11Mostly speculative retail pricing.
01:13The 9070 XT can seemingly edge past
01:17NVIDIA'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
01:32on both cards without, again, this is a soft overclock,
01:36without adjusting the clock speed in software.
01:40They did nothing to adjust the clock speeds
01:42in the software itself, just undervolted the cards.
01:44What's really happening behind closed doors
01:47from AMD and NVIDIA that they're pumping these out
01:50with max power when they could run better with less?
01:55Average FPS in Cyberpunk of 66 frames per second.
01:58Now he has a voltage offset.
02:00This is the undervolting here, minus 170 on there.
02:05Compared to, let's look at the stock 9070 XT, 60 FPS.
02:10You're gaining six FPS.
02:12Now let's compare this to the Founder's Edition stock.
02:16The clocked in, this is from Der Bauer again, 65 FPS.
02:19So an extra frame by doing the undervolting
02:23on this 9070 XT card.
02:24How is this possible?
02:26Interestingly enough,
02:27the 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,
02:40it doesn't portray a fair comparison
02:42with a different CPU and RAM.
02:44But what's important here is the 5080, RTX 5080
02:47and 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
02:58is 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
03:07between 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, this 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 car.
03:27Changing the voltage offset
03:29moves the voltage frequency curve higher or lower,
03:32thus lowering the voltage required to hit higher frequencies.
03:35This is a great example.
03:36Tuning a car's automatic transmission
03:38so a lower RPM is needed
03:39before automatically shifting into the next gear.
03:42That helps kind of maybe draw some parallels
03:44so people can understand it a little bit better.
03:46We're gonna make these things last a lot longer,
03:48make 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.
03:58Let's talk about Intel for a second.
04:01Intel, that's the face of a new CEO.
04:04If you look at his eyes, he's very welcoming.
04:06That's what's going through Lip Boutin's mind right now.
04:13Intel just appointed him as the chief executive officer.
04:16We love a good board of directors.
04:18They always make the best decisions, don't they?
04:23An accomplished technology leader
04:25with deep semiconductor industry experience.
04:28That's kind of probably who you want
04:30adding 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.
04:35Oh, he really, deep semiconductor industry experience.
04:40Dang, I'm swiping on that bad boy.
04:41You know, I think I know what he's gonna do for us.
04:43What do you think?
04:44And maybe this was him, maybe it was someone else,
04:48but Intel is finally gonna launch the XESS 2 SDK.
04:54This is big.
04:56Maybe this is what he's gonna be championing.
04:58Championing, championing, champion.
05:00I did it, I said the word.
05:02This is a lot of frame generation.
05:03We got some AI stuff,
05:04also opening up some more tools for developers.
05:07Intel is very good about developer tools
05:09and trying to put them in the right hands of people.
05:11Ever since Intel announced XESS 2,
05:14gamers on tighter budgets who have considered
05:17or just upgraded to the Arc Battlemage,
05:18great graphics card,
05:19have been wondering why the development
05:20and implementation of this performance boosting technology
05:23had been so slow.
05:24Perhaps the release of the new SDK today.
05:28Maybe that will answer some questions.
05:30XESS 2 is now available for download
05:33and 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
05:45on 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.
05:57Yeah.
05:57Mage.
06:00I didn't want to do that.
06:02But you did.
06:03I didn't want to do that.
06:04This is actually really cool
06:05because the Battlemage cards have been very, very popular
06:07and we've seen actually when they were released,
06:09everyone was surprised on the drivers.
06:11Oh, absolutely.
06:11So I think this will just lead more into Battlemage
06:15future graphics card releases from Intel
06:17with them making updates on the software side.
06:18All right, Boo-Tan.
06:20What's his name?
06:21Lip Boo-Tan.
06:21All right, Lip Boo-Tan.
06:22It's up to you.
06:23I'm looking at you dead in the eyes.
06:25Don't let us down.
06:29Screw GPUs.
06:30You know what?
06:30Forget them.
06:31Screw processing.
06:32I'm done.
06:33Yep.
06:34I want to game on a human brain.
06:35Gaming on a brain?
06:35Say it ain't so.
06:36This is nightmarish.
06:38You could say that again.
06:40$35,000 computers powered by a lab grown human brain.
06:45The biological computer system can stay alive
06:47for up to six months before it dies.
06:49And is, I added that one.
06:50This is an Australian company called Cortical Labs.
06:54The computer known as CL1 is described
06:56as the world's first code deployable biological computer.
06:59And guess what, boys and girls?
07:01It's available for pre-order.
07:02How much is it?
07:03It's 35 grand.
07:05Nevermind.
07:06You don't want to buy your own device?
07:08Well, guess what?
07:09They have a, they have a hardware as a service.
07:12Wetware as a service is what it's called.
07:15Where you can rent one of these brains
07:17that will die in six months.
07:18I hate that they called it wetware.
07:19This 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.
07:31Are we killing a brain?
07:32Is this, I feel bad about this kind of.
07:34According to Cortical Labs,
07:35the neurons are placed in a nutrient solution
07:37and receive their information
07:38from the company's biological interface operating system.
07:42They call it, they call it a BIOS.
07:43BIOS, that's not confusing at all.
07:45Great job, guys.
07:46Which creates a simulated world
07:48in which neurons receive sensory input
07:50and produce responses that affect the environment.
07:52So what's the point of this?
07:54Like, what are they actually doing with this?
07:55Well, they demonstrated an early version of it.
07:58And what did they do?
08:00They played Pong.
08:04No.
08:06Yeah.
08:09Ooh, that's a pretty graphics card.
08:11There is one, and guess what?
08:12What?
08:13If you are a lucky person,
08:15one of three lucky people,
08:17you could have a chance to buy it at MSRP.
08:20What have we done with the world?
08:21This is the equivalent of a Willy Wonka golden ticket
08:24to buy a graphics card.
08:27Elite Hubs and Colorful have come up with this beautiful,
08:29it's actually a really cool looking card.
08:31It's really cool.
08:32We're gonna be real with you here.
08:32And one of the retailers in India
08:34decided to announce a special offer
08:36in collaboration with Colorful,
08:38which will enable three people
08:40to buy the 50, 80 cards at MSRP.
08:42The lucky people, humorously called winners,
08:46will be asked to pay MSRP.
08:48There's a lot of questions here,
08:49and I think the number one question is
08:50why this retailer thought it would be a good idea
08:54to run this promotion.
08:59It just seems like a weird thing.
09:01It does.
09:02The other thousand of these cards will be sold to scalpers.
09:05Oh, got it.
09:06But three very, very lucky, lucky people
09:10will get to buy this at full MSRP.
09:12I want them to go ahead and just label the cards MSRTX,
09:16and just let us flex for being able to actually get it.
09:20You know, whenever you get a good sale and you come home
09:22and you're like, hey, guess how much I spent?
09:23That's what I got.
09:24That's right, I got $200.
09:26Do you have to sign up in a lottery
09:28in order to get a Meta PC?
09:29No, you don't.
09:30It'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,
09:37you can configure a system the way you want.
09:39If you've already got a GPU
09:40and you want to just throw it in there,
09:42you go through the configurator,
09:43pick 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.
09:51Phil went through all the effort to take the photo
09:54and then it freaking sold.
09:55You've got to constantly be refreshing the page,
09:57see what new stuff we're adding every single day.
10:00It's all at metapcs.com, baby.
10:02I even think we have mouse mats at any, oh, 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
10:13other than for you to buy a brand new computer for me,
10:15but if you're not going to do that,
10:16then 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.
10:24They love to color on them with their markers,
10:26or we have the full color Hyper Beast
10:28or the black and gray version of these mouse mats,
10:31or buy a brand new PC.
10:34Just pick one of the two, do it.
10:36NVIDIA proudly claims to have shipped
10:38twice as many RTX 50 cards in five weeks
10:41than the 40 series.
10:42Lies!
10:43They couldn't be lying.
10:44The primary issue lies in the availability of GPUs
10:48during the initial launch period.
10:50Now, 40 series, when that was introduced,
10:53the only card was the RTX 4090
10:55that was available for the first five weeks.
10:57What about 50 series?
10:59They had four freaking models.
11:00When they come out with these and say,
11:02hey, listen, we shipped twice as many GPUs,
11:04you had four times as many models available.
11:07Of course you did.
11:08Yeah.
11:09What are we celebrating?
11:10So the 40 series, they would have shipped more
11:13if you compare those models.
11:14If they released in the same order
11:16like they did with the 50 series,
11:17they would have definitely surpassed.
11:18They would have surpassed the 50 series shipment.
11:20I reject your claim.
11:22Objection!
11:23I'm no expert.
11:24I'm just a guy that sits in front of a green screen,
11:26but let me tell you something.
11:28Something right.
11:29So I 1440P'd myself looking at these G.Skill
11:32new RAM modules.
11:33Look at this.
11:34G.Skill announces DDR5 8000.
11:378000?
11:37What?
11:38Where'd 7000 go?
11:39I don't know.
11:40They skipped.
11:41What?
11:42What?
11:43We've got high speed, high capacity, and low latency.
11:45Look at this polished image from G.Skill.
11:47Ooh, we're marketing, boys.
11:49That's pretty.
11:50God, that's what I call marketing.
11:52You can tell this came from a PR statement.
11:53I'm not gonna lie.
11:54I'm not gonna lie.
11:55I'm not gonna lie.
11:56I'm not gonna lie.
11:57I'm not gonna lie.
11:58That came from a PR statement.
11:59The world's leading brand of overclocked memory
12:01and PC components is excited to announce
12:03three new DDR5 specs.
12:04Wow.
12:05DDR5 8000, cast latency 36.
12:07These are 24 gig by two kits.
12:11DDR5 6000, cast latency 28, 48 gigabytes by four.
12:16That's 192 gigs.
12:17That's a fat kit.
12:19That's a fat stack.
12:21DDR5 6000, cast latency 26, 24 gig.
12:24Dude, that's-
12:25That's the kit right there.
12:26It'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.
12:37We've got screenshots.
12:39We've got all of the good stuff here
12:42for you to help make educated decisions.
12:44But what we're gonna look at is just this very simple
12:46black and white chart.
12:49I'm learning a lot.
12:51I'm learning so much.
12:51I'm learning so much.
12:52Hey, GSkill, cool.
12:57RTX 5060, 5060 Ti,
13:01we've got some leaks coming from a platform in China.
13:05Unfortunately, this anonymous tip came in,
13:09but they can't get further details.
13:12Interestingly, the 5060 is said to have 12 gigs of memory,
13:16which that would actually be some new news.
13:19Yeah, it would be actually really good news.
13:21NVIDIA could use three gigabyte GDDR7 modules on the SKU,
13:26and that would probably look a lot better
13:28than the eight gigabyte spec
13:29that 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,
13:44so who knows kind of what we're looking at exactly.
13:47Also, this is the retail and the MSRP in China,
13:51while the 5060 would cost 37.99 yuan.
13:56525 in American freedom dollars.
13:59Freedom dollars.
14:00So it's Tuesday when we're recording this,
14:01so by the time this comes out,
14:02I may be a total idiot,
14:03and 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, you gotta comment.
14:15If it showed up, that means we did some editing.
14:18Ladies and gentlemen,
14:19thank you so much for joining MetaPC's News this week.
14:21Now, there's something very, very important.
14:22A lot of you are still not subscribed.
14:25Come on, we're here putting on a show.
14:28Do you know how many Zen pouches I've got
14:30stuffed in these lips to keep this energy level up?
14:33No, I'm just naturally this way.
14:34I don't believe in Zen.
14:35I'm not a Zen-er.
