The category is GPU firsts, and you guys can go ahead and write down your wager. We'll be back after this break. Thanks to Intel for sponsoring today's show. With Intel Iris Xe graphics, you can play your favorite AAA games at 1080p on an ultra portable gaming laptop. Learn more about Intel's 11th gen core laptop processors at the link down below. And the bets are in. It is now time for our final tech trivia answered in the form of a question.

Brett from UFD Tech, congratulations. You are moving on to the winner's round with $999 of my money. Now, the funny thing about Brett's winnings here is that we decided ahead of the show that the runner-up prize would be $1,000 of my money. So Brett, by wagering his dollar, actually ended up with less prize money than both Paul and Kyle are walking away with today. That's the thing about game shows and live productions is you can't really predict what's going to happen, and that's exactly what happened today.

How many chickens would it take to kill an elephant? I'd say a good 600. He's not wrong. Now back to the show. This is double tech trivia answer in the form of a question where the point values are twice as high as they were in the first round, meaning it's anyone's game. Marques is leading with a thousand, Brett has 200, and Linus is in the hole, meaning he has to pay everyone present, I guess. Here's your categories, home theater, display play, programming and its languages. Hey, here's one of them. Linux, howdy neighbor, and the famous before and after category. Linus, start us off since you're so far in the hole. I'll take home theater for a thousand. These curves of equal loudness were pioneered by the eponymous researchers in the 1930s.

Let's do Howdy Neighbor 400. Why hello there, I'm Austin Evans and this is my Nintendo GameCube. Not only was this one of the greatest consoles of all time, but it was also the very first Nintendo console to launch without a Mario-centered game. Instead, it launched with this game from the same franchise instead. You guys never rushed down to McDonald's to play Luigi's Mansion? That was the only place in my town that had a GameCube. Nope. Howdy Neighbor 600. Steve here. This is from a GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition card. It's one of the best video cards that Nvidia ever made and a mistake that Nvidia won't ever make again. But it didn't have a dual-link DVI port on the card. It did, however, have one of these adapters in the box. Linus. What is DisplayPort to DVI? Can you be more specific? We are looking for DisplayPort to single-link DVI. DVI is single-link DVI. Dual-link DVI is dual-link DVI. Okay, well that could actually be valid. We'll talk about that later. Howdy Neighbor 1000. What's up, JS2Cents here and one of my favorite CPUs is the lowest end part in the initial Conroe lineup. It traded blows with Intel's former flagship, the Pentium Extreme 965, despite having half the clock speed. Linus. What is the 8400? Nope, not that one. Chip was the E6300, the E6300. Let's go before and after for 600. Get out of there, get out of there, get out of there, get out of here, get out of here, get out of here, get out of here. Answer there, bonus question where you wager all your money. Oh man, I don't know anything about this category yet. Correct responses to these hints will create sort of a portmanteau of two words that are hinted at by the clue. Let's just go 100 for this one.

Let's do Linux for 600, please. Ubuntu became one of the most popular Linux distributions in the world after basing itself on this distro. I have no idea. Linus. I'm gonna take a wild guess. Red Hat? Nope, anyone else? All right. You know Linus, if you don't guess, you don't lose money. Debian. Ubuntu is based on Debian. All right, I'll take Linux for 800, please. It only gets worse in this Linux category, I'll tell ya. There's still dispute as to whether Linus Torvalds took a little too much inspiration from this OS created by Andrew Tenenbaum. Linus? What is GNU? Sorry, nope. Proto OS is a little bit more complicated. This is Minix. Same category for a thousand. This command forces deletion of everything in the root directory. RM-RF slash.

What is motherglass? Motherglass is correct. Display play for 800. Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out. Answer there, bonus question where you wager your money. You can wager up to $500. Well, I guess I'll just go for it, won't I? You're doing great, Linus. All right, the judges have made a determination as to the two questions that Linus contested, one being single-link DVI question, the other being the ambient light rejecting screen question. In both cases, we've decided to give it to Linus, not because we really side with his logic, but because at this rate, he's probably not going to be able to participate in final tech trivia answer in the form of a question. And we want to give him a fighting chance. I actually can't remember if you still actually even have an arithmetic chance, but you'll be closer at least. So I get pity points. So now you can wager up to 500. And if you get it right, you will only be 1000 in the hole. And then if you get the subsequent questions right, you might be able to play final tech trivia answered in the form of a question. I spit on your pity. I wager $1. No, no, no, I changed my mind. I changed my mind. 500, 500, I want a chance. Okay. Not to be confused with the transmissive or emissive display, your E Ink tablet uses one of these. What is a reflective display?

We're looking for mass transfer. Well Linus, if you had got that right, you still would have only had $0, which technically still isn't enough to make you eligible for playing our final round, final tech trivia answered in the form of a question. But for the contestants who do have money, let's look at the category. Game settings. Our contestants will make their wagers and we'll see the question after the break. Big shout out to Intel for making tech trivia answered in the form of a question a reality. Whether you're gaming, doing business, creating, or just mindlessly scrolling a timeline. There's a laptop powered by Intel's 11th gen processors that's optimized for you. Learn more at the link in the video description. And we're back and it's a close game. The bets are in. Now let's see the hint for final tech trivia answered in the form of a question. Originally described in a 2009 Nvidia white paper, this screen space anti-aliasing algorithm analyzes pixels rather than the game's underlying 3D models. 30 seconds. All right, let's look now to Brett, who had the lowest score going in. Did you come up with the correct answer? Hey, it's second lowest score. What is temporal anti-aliasing? That is not the response we're looking for and how much did it cost you? 40 D, leaving you with no D at all. Marques, what is real time, is that AA? Real time AI. What is real time AI? Nope, the answer we were looking for was fast approximate anti-aliasing or FXAA. How much did that cost you? $31, he is our champion today at 469. Well done. No one could have seen this result coming. At least of all, Linus Sebastian. This probably feels pretty good. What do you have to say to the people watching at home? This is huge for me. Shout out to mom and dad, I know they're watching, but also I didn't get to study for this. So I'm just really glad my overall technology paid off today. This was great. Well, lots of debates have just been settled for life. Join us next time on Tech Trivia, Answered in the Form of a Question, where Yvonne will face off against Colton. Just kidding, he's not allowed on camera anymore. Thank you to Intel for sponsoring Tech Trivia, Answered in the Form of a Question. Check them out at the link below.怖
