Get ready for another jam-packed episode of The TT Show as Kosta and Jak delve into the latest developments in the world of technology and gaming. This week, we’re treated to a whirlwind of topics, from NVIDIA’s potential entry into the handheld gaming market to the highly anticipated GeForce RTX 5090 and its rumored price tag.
Kosta kicks off the show with a recap of his PAX Australia experience, showcasing the incredible PC hardware on display, including custom builds, powerful rigs, and the latest gaming handhelds. The arrival of the Steam Deck in Australia marks a significant moment for the gaming landscape, and Kosta and Jak discuss the implications of NVIDIA’s potential entry into this space with their own handheld featuring GeForce RTX hardware. This possibility gains traction thanks to a recent partnership between NVIDIA and MediaTek to create chips specifically designed for portable AI devices, including laptops. Kosta believes NVIDIA’s move into the handheld market is almost inevitable, considering the growing segment and NVIDIA’s current lack of presence in this space.
With the looming release of the GeForce RTX 50 Series, speculation surrounding the price of the flagship GeForce RTX 5090 heats up. While the MSRP is expected to be higher than the GeForce RTX 4090’s $1599 USD, the exact figure remains a mystery.
However, the episode takes a surprising turn as Kosta and Jak uncover a ‘dark secret’ hidden within the walls of the Nintendo Museum in Japan. Classic Super Nintendo games are reportedly running on a Windows PC using software emulation, a fact that wouldn’t be surprising if not for Nintendo’s notorious anti-emulation policies. This revelation raises eyebrows and prompts a discussion about the irony of it all.
The show also touches upon the return of Concord, with new evidence suggesting that Sony isn’t done with the company that birthed the biggest flop in videogame history.
Shifting gears, Kosta sheds light on Unreal Engine 6 and its ambitious plans to revolutionize the metaverse, a concept that has been attempting to gain traction for some time.
In the realm of science, Jak takes us on a whirlwind tour of groundbreaking breakthroughs and historic moments. From Starship’s successful landing, secured by giant mech arms, to scientists creating robots with cat-like vision and the development of a new fluid mirroring Spider-Man’s web-slinging abilities, the episode closes with a captivating glimpse into the future of technology and innovation.
So, whether you’re a gamer, tech enthusiast, or simply interested in the latest developments across various fields, this episode of The TT Show is a must-watch. From NVIDIA’s potential handheld ambitions and the RTX 5090’s price tag to the surprising emulation discovery at the Nintendo Museum, Kosta and Jak deliver a diverse and engaging episode filled with insights and fascinating discussions.
