You're lucky you didn't get any "GPU Bombs". Basically they are wired to actively destroy any motherboard that you plug it into, so that when you angrily try to return it for a refund they can claim that your motherboard is the issue. A good way to determine if you have GPU Bomb is to connect an HDMI cable from a monitor (while the monitor is turned on) into the card. If the fan starts spinning without the card being plugged into anything else, DO NOT PLUG IT INTO A COMPUTER. I believe there are a few videos on TH-cam that shows this happening. The only reason I knew about it was because a friend of mine got one of these off of Wish and it destroyed his whole setup, even the ram.
Why the fuck does anyone ever even buy anything from Wish It's literally synonymous with being ripped off, I mean not only ripped off but it's dangerous. You might as well throw your money into a lake.
@@floatinggoose9197 easy, they get presented with an overwhelming amount of nice, shiny toys and don't put much thought into their purchase other than "hmm that would be nice to have"
@@RonYoYo what? have you ever used wish? wish for graphics cards is absolutely horrible but for certain other things its not a bad deal. also you just buy things its not a bidding website you dont win anything.
I remember getting scamed on Wish. I was expecting perhaps a bootleg product but got a empty package which Wish refused to refund. They didn't refund until I threatened to report then to the ACCC.
Man, I ordered 3 bootleg Benchmade 940 Osborne knifes for about 35 euros each (on benchmade's site they sell for about 195 euros), I wasn't expecting much, just a knife that cuts and fits on my belt.

It would be a good thing if it functioned. But it's not like people would rush to buy decade old cards if they were truthful and revived a functional but obsolete product.
I love how every wish seller engages in some... Slightly illegal... Practices. Such as marking up the value of the item then cutting the price to the original price to give the illusion of a huge saving (IE $1000+ Gtx 1060 at a "sale" of $63)
Recently seen newer cards on wish listed at $25,000-$45,000. Sometimes they don't have a mark down at all, although I guess that is just to suggest some credibility to the other ones. Usually after the "sale" they're still more than retail price.
I just received 2 of these from Walmart here in Canada. I am probably going to return them. I am into Mame arcades and was excited to have a card that would be total overkill for emulation and as a bonus be able to play some more modern games. What a huge disappointment man. I would be interested to see if you could use these for mame successfully as opposed to throwing them in the trash. I love your videos and always learn a lot. Keep up the great work.
I'd never buy anything there. So much trash. They rely on advertising and sponsoring TH-camrs/influencers to get their name out there and get young people to buy from them.

Yeah. Bro 😂😂
I was looking for these comments
I love how Linus ACTUALLY appreciates Crysis!
This is the content we signed up for
I always LOVE when they try to sell GTX 1000 series cards with VGA connectors xD Tells you right away that you are looking at some dodgy GTS 450 or alike
Actually GTS 450 is decent card lol, better than GT 710
@@n3xt214 anything is better than that dumpster fire
@@rocoX1234 lol it's gt 710 was a rebranding from gt 9400.
Also yeah GTS 450 it's like 9800 GTX but double the performance
Yeah, I had gts 450 until the end of 2020, and old crysis (not remastered one) actually ran on highest settings... So those on video are probably knockoffs from old 450s that were not good enougj
@@Pieroozeg I bought one of these (black and green one)and got to keep the card and got my money back. They just have a shitty bios and when you flash the bios back to a 450 they work fine. I would have used the one I have it had an external 8/6 pin power plug but 100w pulled through the pcie slot isn't a good idea imo. ( btw. you need to use a the gts450 512mb bios or modded gts450 1gb bios another youtuber has a vid on this that has the modded bios on the video description). Also the chyneese dudes that are making these are locking the bios so it has to be done with an external CH341 USB bios flasher after that you can flash the bios all you want with nv flash
Love the wish ad before this video 👌
I got a wish ad right before this vid lol.
loving the animations around the chips etc! really helps to understand what you're talking about for techie-but-not-super-techie persons

The reason why the gpus aren't working right is because when your installing the drivers from the internet, it installs the drivers for the 1050ti not for the gtx 470 or whatever it is, so you have to use the drivers that are included on a cd and that's right no driver updates
@@alexnather7614 incorrect lol
@@Gloth_Sang indeed, he refuted Alex Nather's statement without giving (counter) arguments.. yet it's still valid to do. Useless, but valid.

Well... that 2020 date reference didn't age well. 😆
Whenever i hear Wish. That image of their $2 fap tent comes up in my head.
Ewww disgusting... where just so I can avoid it
Jk
@@2.5rs_subaru ROFL! And he's asking for a friend.. 🤣
That’s disgusting! Where?!
Link? Asking for a friend..
Love how Wish is more of a Wish you get the right one.
what
@@wishdere rather than I Wish to have one.
Every wish item I’ve received made me wish I didn’t order in the first place.
In Glorious Mother Russia we have a saying that goes something like this:
"Sucker's not a mammoth, it won't go extinct."
may i turn that into conversational English (to make better sense) ...... Suckers are not mammoths , they don't go extinct. or they never go extinct ......
Что?
Man, 2020 definitely IS the Crysis year.
"This 750ti, and as you can see... it's not great.." *stares at g3258 750ti next to me while a single tear falls*
Me, playing on a 660ti
Eh, in 2014 it was a solid budget build :)
I play on 650 ti
but 750ti tears through crysis
@@lordmalix3141 I just upgraded my 660ti to a 1660 but the 660 honestly isn't bad for some games
4:54 They probably don't want them to break because the person might try to get a warranty claim or something and find out it was a scam.

"I'm already to go, I'm already wet"
Linus, 2020
And he wonders why people assume his sexual orientation...
Need to bring phrasing back into rotation.
9:45 "That's the day before LTX"
Earth: cOrOnA ViRUs lul
I love the idea of a Crysis based LTX but I'm surprised Linus thought LTX 2020 was still gonna be a thing considering how things were in the world at the end of February
"It can run Crysis"
oh the memory
Linus, you're the man. The first person to call Wish out on the bullshit they are anywhere to my knowledge. Respect!
These cards are popping up on Amazon now. In about one minute of searching I found about a dozen fake card listings.
1:00 when you step on your cats tail.
Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how my cat emptied my wallet

No replies?
1 reply?
2 reply?
9th reply?
18:20 that face of frustration is relatable
I always thought it was funny that normal people don’t buy these cards on wish but the amount of techtubers that do and buy multiple really just fuel the cycle of fake cards.
In my theory, Dawid should have 20k more subs at the end of this week.
Maybe even more than that
Well he deserves more subs, I really like his content
11:00 My inner child started crying.
i play this game at that speed back when i'm ne to pc gaming
" In 2013, Elpida was acquired by Micron Technology." This should also be harvested chips from old GPUs that are no longer being manufactured.
Did micron bother changing the chip masking ?
@@MessalineApghar The Elpida branding continued on for a little while. It was common on R9 200 series cards, and markedly inferior to cards with Hynix or Samsung memory in terms of potential overclocks. On the Nvidia side, even some GTX 900 series cards had Elpida memory. It had been replaced by Micron by the time the GTX 1000 series rolled around in 2016 though.
9:26 August 7th is when I’m getting my new system!! First game I was gonna play was Crysis!
Cool ur lucky
Its today!!!! Is ur pc cool?
A User yeah it’s mostly as a workstation but it can game on ultra as well. I tried crysis no problems maxing out everything. AMD ftw
i think these are "third shifters" where real cards are made during work hours, then the ripoffs are made under the table.
No one is manufacturing new fermi cards anymore man.
@@Niitchsthall exactly
13:43 check the image bottom left and connect it right.
So rumour is they are adding a new item to LTTstore.com......Paper Weights.

Congrats on not watching the video before criticizing someone.
Linus is the other fake one.
@@ExperiMentalDon wheres the critique exactly? All he did was point out what he saw. Congrats on trying to make someone feel bad for LITERALLY pointing out what they can see.
The cards that there using still runs 10x better that my iMac 2
*they're
And thats apple for ya
imac 2? you mean the 2nd gen imac? from 2002? go figure.
Same can be said for my E machine from that era.
Turns out 18-20 year old computers suck. Go figure.
@Ther Ther umm that's exactly why he said it's better
9:28 huh, it's a year - 1 day from that. How coincidental youtube
"Five graphic cards" *proceedes to count 4 cards*.
No there's five cards, you just didn't watch far enough into the video
He dropped the 5th one.
Technically, the water bottle is as much a graphics card as the other four
I think his water bottle was meant to be the fifth fake card

Wow! These guys are replying like fake GPUs to a totally different topic.
Wow, you gave Dawid Does Tech a shout out. That's what he wanted ever since he bought an LTT shirt.
