He also talks about Pascal and Volta and the possible release of new ASUS AREZ cards - yes, it would appear they have succumbed to the Nvidia beast as well as MSI and Gigabyte. Is there no stopping them?!

Today Andrew takes a look at the latest Elgato 4k60 Pro MK2 capture card, priced at £230 which while expensive, is much less than the £360 price point of the original MK1 version ! Andrew puts the capture card through its paces today and walks away quite impressed with what the latest version has to offer!
Read more here: http://bit.ly/31jJH5F
The 4K60Pro, released in 2017, is a monster of a card and Elgato have just given it a full hardware redesign. Featuring the ability to capture and passthrough HDR10, 1440p at 144Hz, 1080p at 240Hz and, the biggest improvement; the ability to capture footage with the card via multiple software options at the same time. Streaming at 720p but want to record footage with no overlays at 4K? You need this card.

NVIDIA approached us last week with an unusual but fun idea to promote the fact that NVIDIA Deals Week is now live at Overclockers UK. If they hired one of the UK's leading bakers to create super realistic 'GPU cakes' would someone be able to tell them apart from a relatively close distance? We blindfolded Jasmine while we put cakes and GeForce RTX cards on a table to see if she could tell them apart.
