More SLI Overclocking
After the Hackfort presentation there was some LN2 left over and letting it go to waste is not an option. So, in an attempt to get a few more benchmarking points Dennis broke out some old hardware and started seeing what it could do.
The base system was a 9900K at 6.16Ghz. This was the 3d stable overclock under LN2 and worked surprisingly well for the benchmarks using the two GTX 780 Ti Classifieds in SLI. In this segment the duo talk about what is the same and what is different when it comes to overclocking in SLI and why having a solid CPU overclock is key when it comes to older benchmarks.
Silverstone LSB02 RGB Lighting Controller
One of the highlights from the March events was how popular a good RGB lighting system can be. Say what you like about RGB but, it can draw a crowd when done correctly. In this segment we talk about setting up the LSB02 and some of the more interesting features of the system.
Be sure to check out the full review of the Silverstone LSB02 and supporting video.
Ray Tracing on Pascal
Dennis likes to call out when one of his predictions comes true and you heard it on the Hardware Asylum Podcast first. NVIDIA is going to release RayTracing to older NVIDIA GPUs. This is something that Dennis talked about at length during the 20-Series launch mentioning that RayTracing support is just a driver update and it could be treated much like PhysX where the calculations are offloaded to a secondary video card.
As of this Podcast we have not actually seen the driver so it will be interesting to see how things finally pan out.
