Videos for October 2nd - 8th

Another couple of videos coming up this week:

3rd: HP Victus Review (RTX 4050)
6th: Intel Core i7-13700H vs AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS

The Victus review is done, but still a lot to do for the CPU comparison. The 26 games at 1080p and 1440p is complete, I worked through the weekend to get it done, so now it's just the CPU tests left.

I think it's going to be a big video because same laptop with each CPU means we can do things like thermals/battery life/latency/etc, but this year 13700H feels less common, so maybe there will be less interest.

Last year's 12700H vs 6800H got about 600K views, so hopefully we can replicate some of that and pay for what I spent on the laptops 😅 both videos this week will have sponsor spots, so we should be covered in that regard.

I'm planning a video on Microsoft's new CASO update next week. Long story short, it seems like MUX switch doesn't matter anywhere near as much as it used to in terms of boosting game FPS. Given we tested 26 games on the two Lenovo laptops for the above CPU comparison, I redid one of them with optimus on to test this out.

There's basically no big difference so it will be a short video mostly explaining what CASO is and how it works. Pretty cool, but too bad they didn't do this before MUX became commonplace.

Otherwise we're off to Melbourne on Friday-Sunday for PAX Australia, I'll be on a panel with Gear Seekers and some other fellow Australian tech people. Details here: https://twitter.com/GearSeekers/status/1704093688287375677
