    There isnt anything wrong with this video, the reason for the dislikes is that this channel has built an audience that already knows this stuff. Going from complicated videos about server RAIDS with one gigabillionbytes to how to install a GPU doesnt really work. Feels like this should be on your techquicke channel or maybe you should start a new channel for the more basic content.

      @samwallace3469 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Call Me Infinity the reason why there is so much "hate" towards this video is because it does not fit the theme of the channel. When people go to linustechtips expecting interesting content like scrapyard wars and build logs daily, and then get handed this video, it can feel like a bit of a ripoff. Yes, it is true that this content would be helpful to some people, but the regular viewer on ltt is not part of that group. This kind of content would be more suitable on techquickie, a channel meant for education and for viewers not as well versed in the functions of computer hardware.

    Total newbie trying to figure out how to upgrade her Graphics. This video was very helpful. It's basically a bit more work than upgrading RAM, with the addition of uninstalling old drivers and installing new ones - the tips about where exactly to get the drivers and how to best dispose of the included drivers CD was especially good and appreciated. I now know know what things I should look out for when chosing a GPU (size of GPU and PC case, power supply requirements) and know what to expect when removing the old one and installing a new one.
    So... from a total newbie who was lured here by the titke: well done, guys!

      +Frozen Lava yes. especially if you live in a dry area and/or you're standing on carpet. The likelihood of static causing serious damage is not super high but when you can get the wristbands for under$3 there is no reason not to use them. Better to be overly cautious than to end up with hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of tech turning into a paperweight.

      +Zach Tempel So you plug it on the motherboard, right. You didn't answer the guys question.

    Why is the LTT fan base a bunch of sooky 12 year old kids? This video isn't for you if you already know how to install a GPU, its for the newcomers, I for one am glad LTT make a variety of videos. Disliking it doesn't prove anything besides your edgy attitude.

      +Mike S lol i was thinking pretty much the same thing. It's about 16 years too late for me but once upon a time we all could have used this.

      steven kutschat Exactly. And I'm dam sure I'd rather learn how to install a GPU from a bunch of cool guys like LTT with clean editing then someone else on TH-cam..

    Switching out my gtx 950 to an rx 480 was amazing and I'm loving the large frame boost, although my pci e slot didn't come with any form of a clip, weird.

    Thanks for the sweet vid, I had no idea how to install my GTX 1050ti until I watched this video!
