Hey Welcome to Zach's Tech Turf and Weekly Download episode number 62, which is my tech
and PC gaming news series.
If you're completely lost right now because you can't see my face like normal, fear
not, as I said in my military deployment video, the next few episode of Weekly Download will
be like this so if you're watching this video go live then that means I'm currently
on my military deployment.
Oh and also, you guys know I'm sipping on my coffee, make sure you guys let me know
in the comment section what you're sippin' on, let's get into it.
Alright so
I can't start off the tech news this week with anything other than these GTX 1070 TI
rumors that are floating around.
I don't think we've ever seen a 70 series Nvidia card get a TI version, but apparently
a photo from a web forum in China is floating around that shows someone taking a picture
of their computer specs and it says GTX 1070 TI Strix O8G.
Now this very well could be photoshopped, and I would most probably guess that it is,
except for the fact that if Nvidia did release a 1070 TI with performance right in between
a 1070 and a 1080, that could seriously put them over the edge compared to AMD's Vega.
We already know that the Vega 56 GPU is competing against the 1070, if and only if it's priced
at MSRP mind you, and that the Vega 64 is a little bit slower than the 1080.
A new Nvidia card right in between these would probably be an AMD kill shot so you never
know, hopefully we get more information about this soon.
Next up, Pirate Bay actually announced that users visiting their torrent site will actually
end up mining cryptocurrencies for them.
Yea what?
Ok let me try to explain this.
In an effort to make money elsewhere and completely ditch their advertisements, if you have a
web page open to the Pirate Bay, they have installed software on that page that forces
YOUR CPU to run at about 20-30% and min crypto currencies for them.
This obviously has some people raging but there's a decent amount of people who actually
think that it's a good idea.
Pirate Bay has blatantly announced that you can kill this operation by having an ad blocker
installed, and that if they end up do making enough money to run the site then they will
completely remove all their ads.
It's honestly a pretty bold move but I don't know, do you guys think that it's a good
idea, do you think more websites will do this kind of thing?
Let me know in the comment section down below, I would love to hear your opinions.
CCleaner announced that their super popular computer software was hacked this week and
you should definitely be aware of this if you're using the software, but only if you're
using the 32 bit version.
Apparently hackers discovered a backdoor, basically a vulnerability to get into people's
systems through CCleaner, and the hackers made away with some of your computer information,
but doesn't really seem like it's that important of information, certainly not like
the Equifax hack.
Right now they are just reporting that they stole info such as your current software installed,
IP addresses, network adapter info, etc.
It honestly doesn't sound like that big of a deal, at least not yet, but if you're
using the 32 bit software make sure you're always up to date with the latest patch, which
goes for anything you install these days.
Zotac is at it again with creating pre-built tiny gaming PC's, but this time they've created
something that truly looks exceptional.
As you can see in the picture here, that is one tiny PC.
It's called the Magnus EK or Magnus ER, and these systems are rocking either a GTX 1070
or 1080 which is VERY impressive for the size.
The cheaper model, the EK, is packing an i5 7300HQ processor, 8 GB of RAM, a 120GB M.2
SATA SSD, 1TB HDD and a GTX 1070.
Zotac hasn't announced exactly when they will be released or what the price will be, but
if priced right, this is a pretty neat little idea.
To start off the PC gaming news, if you're a Call of Duty hater, feel free to skip ahead,
but for you COD suckers that buy the game every year, like myself, you'll be happy to
hear that the World War 2 beta goes live on PC on September 29th which is only a few days
away.
You also don't need to preorder the game and it's completely open for anyone to join which
is awesome.
They didn't say what content we'll have available to use and just said that they are testing
out their online backend infrastructure at scale.
I'm pumped.
Next up, we all know that every game developer has or will start a new battle royal type
mode in their games because of all this PUBG success right?
Well Automation, a game development company, is working on a 400 player battle royal style
game that's set to release in 2018.
It's still untitled, or they just haven't released the title yet, but this game is going
to be something like Planetside 2 where servers can hold up to 1,000 players as it's an
MMO tactical shooter.
The battle royal type mode will hold 400, feature 144 square kilometers of map, compared
to PUBG's 64, and also feature player progression and social hubs.
The developers aid they hope to have something playable in the spring of 2018.
Sounds awesome, obviously.
Hollow Knight is getting its second expansion already, this time coming on Halloween.
According to Team Cherry's update, the new quest will involve lighting a nightmare lantern
in order to summon a Grimm Troupe to Hallownest.
I have absolutely no idea what that means but I know some of you have been asking me
to try this game out on my Gaming On A Sunday morning series so maybe I will soon.
You know, after all these new baller games come out this holiday season.
For Honor is getting yet another update, and this time Ubisoft is adding a 4v4 multiplayer
capture the flag mode.
The mode is called Tribute and the 3 flags are actually shrines and each of them have
an offering that will grant a team buff as long as they are holding it.
I actually just reviewed the state of the game on my Gaming On A Sunday Morning series
this week, but I know that some of you have lost all hope for this game.
If you have, then sorry for wasting your time but if you're interested, I would check out
the video because quite a lot has changed in the game.
And to wrap up the news this week, do you guys remember Battleborn?
Well you should because it's not that old of a game, but the developers announced this
week that after their upcoming Fall update, no further development will happen.
I actually tried out Battleborn on my gaming on a sunday morning series, and like I said
in the video, it just didn't really hit home for me and it's trying to compete in a very
saturated market right now.
They did say that you'll be able to keep playing the game as it goes into maintenance mode,
but no further content will be created.
Well that wraps up Weekly Download episode number 62.
