01:00 - Question about switching software from Premiere & business cost

04:00 - matthaus woolard: “For your big rendering task, why do you not use a Linux kernel you may well find a significant performance boost with Blender. Some users report up to 2x speed boost and no random restarts due to windows updates etc.”

05:06 - Scooby Dooby: “@Steve Burke What is the correlation, if any, between FPS highs and FPS lows? Specifically as they relate to CPU or GPU performance (And even more specifically to i5's in a game like GTA V). I ask because I've found in my personal experience that by limiting the maximum frame rate in a game I can eliminate "game breaking" FPS lows and have a buttery smooth experience. I've often wondered but haven't tested what the effect would be to average FPS by limiting the maximum FPS in such an instance. Would it be possible to have a net gain of average FPS by limiting maximum FPS? :thinking:”

13:21 – Surpuppa: “Question for the next Ask GN: In your previous video you talked about using three GPUs for rendering. Does the CPU even matter at that point when all of the workload is on the GPUs?”

15:11 - Yourwolfsdengaming: "I guess this is more a question for case manufacturers, but I was wondering if you knew why case manufacturing companies (Fractal and Phanteks, to name a few) seemingly have almost what could be described as 'random' color choices for their cases, while simultaneously ditching colors at other points that people really liked. I'm aware it might cost more paint wise, so why not give us the option for a slightly higher cost? You know, like the Phanteks Enthoo Pro cases did where 'white' was $10 more than the black variant.”

20:33 – BlackTower: “I would appreciate the zotac 1080ti thermal pad and backplate mod video guide. Thanks GN.”

21:23 - Clayton Fyffe: “For a Ryzen 1700X with a B350 Tomahawk (BIOS 1.6), should I trust Ryzen Master (76°C) or the CPUTIN reading in HWMonitor (106°C) when overclocking? They're within 5°C at stock.”
