Nvidias neues Spark-SoC stiehlt auf der Computex 2026 allen die Show! Der revolutionäre Chip verbindet erstmals eine starke Arm-CPU mit Blackwell-Grafik und bricht mit alten PC-Standards. Da geraten AMDs neue RX 9070 GRE und die fünf frischen Handhelds fast zur Nebensache. Im GameStar-Talk klären die Experten, ob das die Zukunft des Gaming-PCs ist.

007 First Light ist da und betritt den Gaming-PC mit kontroverser und nicht problemfreier Technik. Was dahinter steckt und dass der Titel trotzdem etwas zu bieten hat, besprechen Fabian und Jan in dieser Episode im Detail. Ebenfalls ein Thema: Die Radeon RX 9070 GRE, die allem Anschein nach kurz vor der Veröffentlichung steht - 1:1 in der schon seit Ende 2025 in China verfügbaren 12-GB-Version. Na das kann ja was werden?! Über Nvidias ersten Treiber der 600er Generation ohne Control Panel, aber mit ersten Hinweisen auf DLSS 5 geht es im Anschluss zu deutlichen Preissteigerungen beim Valve Steam Deck OLED (bis zu +37 %!), bevor Sonys Entscheidung, Single-Player-Titel der eigenen Studios wieder exklusiv auf der PlayStation zu behalten, und eure Meinung dazu Thema sind. Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

Sascha Pallenberg und Don Dahlmann reden diesmal über Ökosysteme, Abzocke und den leisen Aufstieg von Linux als echte Gaming-Alternative. Don hat das Wochenende mit Forza Horizon 6 versenkt – und stellt fest, dass ein Spiel einfach gut sein darf, ohne Dark Patterns, ohne aufgezwungene Frustration, ohne Bezahlschranken hinter jeder zweiten Kurve. Warum ist das inzwischen die Ausnahme? Warum kostet ein AAA-Titel 70 Euro und hält kaum ein Wochenende? Und was hat Call of Duty damit zu tun, dass eine ganze Generation von Spielern einfach wegläuft? Sascha hat seinen Gaming-PC derweil von Windows befreit – und ist bei CachyOS gelandet. Was sich nach Bastelprojekt anhört, war in einer Stunde erledigt: schneller Boot, mehr FPS, keine Werbung im Startmenü, keine nervigen Updates. Und fast alle Steam-Spiele laufen. Manchmal sogar besser als unter Windows. Dazu der große Kontext: GeForce Now im Kostencheck (Spoiler: teurer als eine Konsole über fünf Jahre), die Frage, wohin Cloud-Gaming wirklich führt – und warum Valve ausgerechnet jetzt zum heimlichen Retter des freien Gamings geworden ist. Mit Zahlen: Linux auf Steam hat sich in einem Jahr von 2,28 auf 4,52 Prozent verdoppelt. 

We get gaming PC questions quite often and decided to revisit the process of building a budget gaming pc for the most popular games of 2025. As of this Podcast we are still in the middle of a memory shortage which can alter prices considerably.

You'd have to be insane to try and build a Gaming PC in 2026 with the cost of RAM, hard drives and GPUs. And now motherboard sales are collapsing because, well, who can afford a PC during these unprecedented times? Maybe it's time to learn to live with the tech we already have for awhile?

Wolfgang und Jan gehen in dieser Episode noch einmal genauer darauf ein und gewähren viele Blicke hinter die Kulisse (und in Wolfgangs privaten Gaming-PC). Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

The Amazon founder envisions a future where consumers will no longer own their computers, but "rent" computing power from companies like Microsoft and, of course, Amazon.

One PC store in Japan is literally begging for users to sell them their old gaming PCs because RAM and GPUs are so hard to come by and expensive.

This episode launches a special PC build series on Your Tech Report, following the process of building a high-performance gaming and creator PC from the ground up. Marc Aflalo and his son Zach are assembling a system component by component, learning directly from the companies behind the hardware.Bryan de Zayas from NZXT explains why starting a build with the case, cooling, and power supply sets the foundation for everything that follows. Instead of chasing a graphics card first, the conversation focuses on airflow design, cable management, power headroom, and engineering choices that support both gaming and creative workloads.Bryan walks through NZXT's design philosophy, showing how clean, minimalist cases are the result of careful internal engineering. The discussion highlights how cable routing and internal layout improve airflow, thermals, and overall system reliability, not just aesthetics.The episode also covers common mistakes builders make when choosing power supplies and cooling systems, especially underestimating future upgrades. Bryan shares practical advice on wattage planning, fan placement, system positioning, and ongoing maintenance to keep performance consistent over time.The conversation wraps with the official NZXT hardware selected for the build: the H9 Flow RGB+ case, Kraken Elite RGB 360mm cooler, and a 1200-watt power supply. Beyond hardware, the episode highlights the personal side of PC building, focusing on creativity, family connection, and how gaming can support social development.Chapters0:00 – Introducing the PC build series1:03 – What this build is designed to achieve1:53 – Why NZXT is a strong foundation for a build3:18 – Why starting with the case, cooling, and power matters4:44 – Common power supply and cooling mistakes6:39 – Minimalist design and hidden engineering8:12 – Gaming, creator builds, and design trends9:52 – Cooling, airflow, and system reliability11:39 – Where your PC sits and why placement matters13:38 – NZXT hardware selected for the build14:53 – Why this project matters beyond the hardwareSubscribe for the full PC build series and expert insights from the brands behind the hardware.Visit yourtechreport.com for more tech coverage and behind-the-scenes builds.Relevant LinksNZXT: https://www.nzxt.comNZXT H9 Flow Case: https://nzxt.com/collection/h9NZXT Kraken Elite: https://nzxt.com/collection/krakenYour Tech Report: https://www.yourtechreport.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ho ho holy chaos… the Nonsense crew is BACK with a Christmas episode stuffed fuller than Santa's DUI report!We kick things off with a Kelly Fact straight out of Norwegian folklore: apparently the witches and evil creatures come out on Christmas Eve looking for brooms to joyride through the sky.

FNBob and Henvincible hit everything from crime sprees to Marvel Rivals to P. Diddy vs. 50 Cent, all the way to Kevin Durant taking shots at Michael Jordan (AGAIN).It's messy, it's festive, it's petty — it's Nonsense at its holiday finest.
