The next episode of Broken Silicon will be joined by Tim from HUB! Obviously we will talk about recent developments in RAM supply, Nvidia EOLs, the latest monitors, and all of the announcements that came out of CES...but it's also likely that RDNA 5, Zen 6, and Nova Lake will come up as well!

In other words - feel free to ask us anything! Your submissions below will heavily steer this conversation! You have ~24 hours to submit below!

Hey Tim & Tom, would you say Nvidia effectively EOLing all Blackwell products with above 8GB VRAM, and perhaps even the 5060 in the coming months (if G7 prices get out of hand), would you say this is a bad sign for Nvidia's next gen, where we won't see any VRAM increases at all except on the very high end, and with price hikes to the line up

FloridaMan

We know the RAM shortage won't last forever, but since Nvidia likes to pivot to "the next big thing" and gaming is a very small percentage of their revenue, would you say they are preparing now to exit the high end gaming market?

Hey guys, with the surprise announcement of panther lake and how strong it’s iGPU will be do you think intel might of pull the trigger with the partnership with Nvidia to make the incorporate their graphics or will they be able to have their own lower end segment with intel arc

CompressedAIBlocks

Panther Lake seems pretty great. Do you guys think it shifts any meaningful mindshare for Intel or is it arriving at an inconvenient time (DRAM shortages)? I think they've got something quite good on their hands (with the downside being BOM) but DRAM will severely impact its effect on the market.

CompressedAIBlocks

With Nvidia effectively EOLing most of their gaming line up, what type of opportunity are we talking about for AMD here? Is this truly a chance for people to give Radeon a go or will it be constrained the same way?

Deuce Niner

Hi Tim and Tom, why do you think LG didn’t show any larger format RGB Stripe WOLED displays? I was surprised they only brought 27” matte displays and that the new 39GX950B is also using the old pixel layout. We’re so close to an OLED that you can work and game on in a brighter room.

ProfNexGen

With DLSS 4.5 performing slower on older RTX cards do you think that has now given "permission" for AMD to release a slower performing FSR 4 on earlier RDNA cards?

speedlemur

For each of you: which monitor are you most excited about that will release (or has been released) in 2026?

sl4ught3rhus

Question for both: Which company is the most out of touch with what PC gamers actually want right now, and what’s the one move you think they could make that would fix it?

Glass

Hi Tim & Tom, how will Radeon snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on this one?

transpose1195

I use my monitor for both gaming and productivity pretty equally and would love to upgrade to an OLED but worry about burn-in, so I appreciate the long-term OLED burn-in test Tim has been running on the channel. How close do you think we are to an OLED that checks all the productivity boxes? Do you see any competing monitor technologies on the horizon that could challenge OLED in this space?

TheParadoxy

This question is for Tim. Can you rank these 5 things in order of difficulty: - building a PC - gaming on Linux - netting a cherry tree - listening to a keynote about ai - finding a good 1440p monitor for less than $150 Thanks for all of your wonderful content!

QuickJumper

I think AMD's bet on GDDR6 might finally give them some meaningful advantage. If Nvidia really stops the production for a longer time then it doesn't matter that they have better features if they cannot supply anything.

TechnoLadz

I know the B770 releasing is essentially a joke at this point, but if they do release it; if it's a 5060 Ti 16GB competitor in performance, do you think they'll be able to justify a $499 price tag. Especially since the cards they would have in the under $500 price range would be both 9060 XT 16GB and 5060 at $450; and 5060 Ti 16GB would likely be $600+

Nicolas Terroir

Hello Tim and Tom, Is there are any hope for new hardware in 2026?

Jay Buffay (Yes I Know It's Spelled Wrong)

Hello! I remember the new ram form factor (CAMM) Dell made a few years ago as an open format, is that going to make a comeback as ram speeds increase or was that just a spark in the pan? Also, I am pretty excited for the next two generations of intel desktop processors... drooling over the pcie lanes. Would you reccomend the refresh, or the one that gets the new socket? (Also is the new socket still planned to have a four gen lifespan?) Thank you and have a lovely day.

Nicolas Terroir

Will the lack of Ram limit the evolution of game ? With only 8Gb VRAM, the texture size and their quality will remain the same.

Nicolas Terroir

RDNA2 maintenance mode was a débâcle. The release of resdstone was underwhelming. FSR 4 not coming to RDNA3 is mind boggling. How can Radeon stop stumbling ? Do AMD need to annonce clear support for there graphic architecture ?

Nicolas Terroir

Can panther lake save Intel and their graphic division ? Do you think Intel need a panther lake cpu on desktop ?

Polarde

Question for Tim, as 2026 should be the year to buy new monitors. I have a 120Hz, IPS 27" 4k Monitor from 2021 and those new OLEDs look very attractive. Is this the year to upgrade the visual experiance? And if so, which Monitor in this class got you excited the most at CES this year?

AI Generated Fish

Hi Tim, I bought an MSI mpg321urx based on your recommendation, recently my power button broke off. Have you experienced durability issues with monitors during testing?

BespokeEP

Insane how the 5 minutes Sony spent talking about the remote play capabilities of their car was the most amount of time spent on gaming at CES. The AI bubble can't burst quick enough

Chicken Point

Let's assume PSSR2 arrives in March, and that it's as good as your sources suggest. I'm interested in your thoughts on when we might start to see games benefiting from the improved technologies. Perhaps it could be soon: some developers might have access to it already. Or, PSSR2 might be sufficiently similar to FSR4 that, due to familiarity with FSR4, developers will find it straightforward to create new and improved PS5 Pro ports. Cheers!

Mark Smith

With the announcement of their new hire, GPU Architect Eric Demers, and their recently announced products, do you think Intel is making the right moves to dig itself out of the hole it's in and see success again in 3 to 5 years? Thank you, Tim and Tom!

LargeCheeseGrater

Question for Tim, What are your thoughts about dlss 4.5 vs Fsr 4 and also what are your thoughts about Nvidia's ability to create unique software features or even things like g sync pulsar, Do you think AMD will ever catch up to Nvidia with regards to software/hardware inovation by making their own unique features or will they always be a step behind.

KarbinCry

Tim, have you heard anything about inkjet OLED or gen11 OLED production? These have been "coming soon" for years, and yet keep getting postponed.

Unique_name

First time asking a question. I'd never heard of RGB Mini LED until Tim went to HKC's booth at CES. I'm really interested in alternatives to OLED for workstation use so what you think of the future of this RGB Mini LED tech that big companies like Samsung, Sony and LG are also working on and how competitive do you think it is or can be to OLED based on what you know so far?

AnotherChris

Similar to AI generated fish, I also bought the mpg321urx, I have never like the text quality it burned my eyes, I think I’ve mostly fixed it with software tweaks however I still don’t think it’s as good as a traditional panel, should I fork over the money for an upgrade to a RGB Oled stripe panel.

Dillon Hansen

I currently have an AW3425DW QD-OLED monitor, it is my first OLED. With the newest OLED panels just coming out is there a substantial difference in in clarity or definition of the image while gaming compared to what I have now? Or would my best bet be to wait until 5k/2k 34" 240hz is available to get the increase in PPI with the OLED tech? 9800X3D-9070XT system, primarily single player gaming and lossless scaling targeting 240fps. AW3425DW will be moved to my sim racing rig replacing a VG34VQL3A ASUS TUF VA Monitor.

S3V3RI7Y

Tim, with oled safeguards and preventative maintenence built in to most oled displays now, would you say the standard three year burn in coverage is still a good time frame to use for warranties or do you think it needs to be changed in any way?

Justin McCumber

Have you heard any more about the form factor of canis? I'm so excited for the ps6. Have you heard any more about the specs of the standard ps6 and the likelihood of an S console? Also, what might they call it? Would they go with ps6s or something else?

Miles Criffield

Can we please buy and sell electronics and get along lol
