Overclocking GPUs makes surprisingly great TV

Outside of Engadget's consumer-tech space, there are dozens of sites and YouTube channels that make a living covering PC hardware in extreme depth, looking at every aspect of a new product, tearing it down, examining circuitry and providing more insight than a general-purpose tech publication ever could. I follow a few of these specialists to stay up to date on the latest hardware. These come in a few flavors, from news-and-review websites like Anandtech to entertainment-focused channels like Linus Sebastian's Linus Tech Tips to the ultra-informative PC hardware site and YouTube channel Gamers Nexus. It's safe to say that these publications, and PC gamers in general, have not reacted very positively to NVIDIA's new GPUs. Many of the marquee features of the RTX line, namely hardware support for ray-tracing and machine learning acceleration, are bets on the future that have little to no impact on gaming as it exists today.
