Bokimon Well I think we have too large population difference, a province in China may have more people than the entire U.S. and we have 26 provinces. And there’s always someone wired among us, imagine the kid always copying what you are doing. And the mainstream is never a good topic for news or videos, since it is actually more similar than you probably imagined, the difference and conflicts stands out in our perspective. This goes both ways, eg: people in China think western crime rate is unbelievable high, but the truth is always neither. The truth is either way too boring, or too fked up to been shown.

[@akmalrusydi2730]

@@Danny_rox At this point? Dont bother buying gpu, if you are planning to build a pc Buy a ryzen apu like ryzen 3 2400g or ryzen 5 3400g. These two APUs are capable of running light to medium games, I have played rainbow six with ryzen 3 2400g (my friend's apu btw, we swapped for a while). Why buy this cpu/apu insgedsdtof gpu, well the gpus on the market are now having a ridiculous inflation I'd not care to upgrade to anything at this point and just wait until next year when the market goes back to msrp. Also side node, the difference between the ryzen 5 3400g and ryzen 3 2400g, sorry if I got the wrong model but you can look it up, they both perform similarly on games, but the difference comes in when you are going to use it in softwares so it depends on your need if it's solely for gaming and on budget, opt for the ryzen 3 apu if you're willing or have some spare budget go for ryzen 5 apu. You can upgrade later down the line and it would be best to have 18gb of ram since it'd boost the performance especially on ryzen cpus

@@Danny_rox Honestly right now if want to get your monies worth you really need to purchase a entire pre-built gaming computer to get a GPU at a decent price. And its not going to change any time soon. Trump's 25% tariff is still on going. There is a on going silicon waffler shortage. Demand on production was some thing like more than 10X what was projected for the year creating a huge shortage and it takes time to ramp up production, experts think it could be another year before production meets demand. And normal is still going to be more expensive unless Biden drops Trump's tariff on all video card coming out of China.

The first letter is 佳 (in Korean, the pronunciation is /ka/) meaning 'beautiful'. The second letter is probably a simplified version of 華 (in Korean, the pronunciation is /hwa/).

The third letter is 宇 (In Korean, the pronunciation is /wu/), meaning a 'house' or 'cosmos'.

I was scammed by a guy in California selling counterfeit goods. I used Google Earth to locate his home which had his return address on the shipping box. He was doing business out of his garage in a very upscale gated community. I contacted the Home Owner's Association that ruled over that community and asked if they had business restrictions on private homes. They did, so I turned him in. Immediately after talking to the HOA I called the local police and informed them that this guy was selling counterfeit good out of his garage and told them about the HOA conversation. A few days later I called the police back to see if they did anything. They found that the HOA had gone to his house and found three families of Asians living there. They were renting the home from the owner, which was a big HOA violation! Within two days the families had cleared out the home and garage and left with no forwarding address. Anytime you're scammed by someone don't just say, oh well. Do something about it and try to save others some money or at the very least, report them to Ebay and inconvenience the seller to as large a degree as you can! That's probably the only punishment they'll ever get!

"and I don't remember the last time I've ever received a driver disk with a video card" Me: *eyes the driver disk I received (and used) with a used XFX RX 570* "Shit" EDIT: The card works fine and is better than my old 8800GT, so that's good. I even had a problem with it that was actually consistent with the RX 570's current deiver version which made games freeze on a single frame only when in fullscreen. Fixed my downgrading a single driver version

When I was looking for a GPU, I thought about between a GTX 1050 Ti and a RX 570 and thank god I watched this

[@technosaber9281]

how to know if a gpu is fake : it most probably has photos taken from other sites

[@jakegarrett8109]

So like every GPU then? If it’s new, you think a seller is going to rip open a collectors edition Titan Xp Star Wars edition? Nope! What about a normal 1080ti? Well what’s the point when professionally photographed pics exist that show the card in an elegant studio photographed manner. Like your picture at best would look the same after setting up studio lighting. If it’s used then sure, mostly just to show dust or if you cleaned it, but new I’ve never seen a retailer open up a new box to take a crappy photo compared to the stock photos for that particular model.

[@jakegarrett8109]

Also when I buy parts, they have the same stock photo on other websites, because it’s the stock advertisement photo from MSI/EVGA/Sapphire/Gigabyte/XFX/Galax/etc, like that’s what the stock photo is for, the manufacturer just has an album of stock photos for helping out vendors market and sell the cards (so that the manufacturer can sell more money to them, which makes sense for both).

[@djoe331]

You definitely work for this video, I applaud that. And I gonna give you a good tip: mention the sponsor early but shortly, the brand and what business they are in, and tell people that more details is on the end of the video. If you suddenly talk about the sponsor for a minute or two, people will just skip it (they are not ready for it, will likely feel it is intrusive) and the sponsor deserves better. I suggest using "This video is brought to you by ..." to put the sponsor on viewers' good side. At the end of video, wrap the video properly and say once gain that this video is brought to you by ... and continues to details. By then people are ready for it and can choose to watch it if they are interested. Put a proper gap between end of content and the start of sponsor information, it is more professional and respectable that way, which in turn give more positive image for the sponsor. GL

you shouldn't buy a 1050 in the first place a rx 570 is so much better

I know most ppl don't do this but if you overclock your 1050 ti obviously making sure it's safe Temps it'll be nearly identical to the 1650. Amd isn't mainstream yet people trust nvidia more still.
