      odeis5 LOL These products aren’t able to be sold in China, due to regulations and laws. But eBay accepts it anyways, and anyone can sell it to anyone. U can say it’s freedom, but why don’t rather say the business don’t give a shit about ur money, ur time nor urself. I’d say that’s just cold and selfish. Face the truth kid, it’s always colder than u ever thought it could be. PEACE.

      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.

      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

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.

    I rolled the dice on one of these from Amazon, since I needed a video card and I was willing to bet $50 on getting this good a deal. The card arrived without any anti-static wrapping or protection at all, in a generic "GRAPHICS card" box with the exact same CD you showed. When the card arrived, it just flat out didn't work (blue screen on start), so I told the seller - in China - that it wasn't working and he said "okay, I'll refund, you don't have to send it back." In the end I can't really complain too much.

    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/). I think I so this simplified version in some Chinese news footages that supposed to be 中華 (China). This letter also means 'beautiful' but in more ostentatious matter, at least in Korea.
    The third letter is 宇 (In Korean, the pronunciation is /wu/), meaning a 'house' or 'cosmos'.
    So, the pronunciation in Korean will be /ka hwa wu/, and the meaning could be a beautiful and splendid house. Probably something similar in Chinese.

    As someone who has had to work with older GPUs, the ram is likely not the only issue. Most newer 3d games use newer DirectX versions, and if the feature limit on the card is below the version the game is made for, the game will start to open and then crash.

    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.

    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!

    it mightve been a stupid decision but I snapped a 70 dollars rx580 and it actually works, it was a single out put dvi 24+1 port, didn't boot up at first, couldn't find a dvi d to vga anywhere, my heart was dead that moment when it didnt, it surprisingly posted after rearranging some cables since I was kind of careless. runs everything well, I mean I wouldn't recommend it but I think I got lucky

    If i remember, based on what i read on some forums, the driver disc that was included in the packet was actually a custom driver, which will probably work well to the card. (CMIIW)

    Bought a 1050, not a ti when i was younger and it ruined my perception of online shopping, lots of lawns mowed for nothing, basically scrap metal. i found out in the end it was a gf 6800. I had a gt-420 at the time, and appreciated what i had. im running a GTX 1660 super now and playing vr, didnt know it as a kid but im in the prime of my gaming, it ended well but at the time i was ruined for a while.
