Your videos are very unique! Amazing job!
This channel really can educate experts and tech dumbs at the same time. He even ask you to Google things yourself to check for more information πββ
The way you busted the βVRAM = better GPUβ myth was spot on β people really forget how much raw horsepower and architecture matter. Also loved the point about PCIe lanes being the highway, not the destination. Would be cool to see you dive into PSU myths next, especially with all the confusion around 12VHPWR and wattage overkill.
There's one thing people don't talk about when it comes to CPU/GPU balancing, it is upscaling. When you upscale from a lower resolution, the CPU gets utilized more. Therefor, using a 9800x3d with a 5070 at 4k upscaled from 1080p will be better vs a 7500f with a 5070.
Finally bro remembered he had a YouTube channel π πβ¨β¨
The legend is back!!!
Dude I am subbed to you since your first vid. I just wanna say you are a great YouTuber and easy to understand:)
I love the voice, very clear and straight to the point on all vids
lol 0:45 and the data for that air cooling claim? ππ
Always here for one of yours videos
Videos are always informative, on point and easy to understand.
Great video. Suggestion for the next video: Laptop Myths π½
MYTH #1 - I AGREE! I prefer air cooling because it just works, it's essentially maintenance-free and it's MUCH cheaper. In fact, my R7-5800X3D is cooled with an AMD Wraith Prism stock cooler and has been for almost four years now without issue. I even use the cheapest thermal paste that money can buy (HY-510) and it's still just fine. I've been building PCs since 1988, long before CPUs needed active cooling of ny kind. MYTH #2 - I AGREE! A balance of VRAM and GPU horsepower must be maintained because one can (and will) nullify the other. Good examples are the R9 Fury and RTX 3060. The R9 Fury, despite being older, had more GPU horsepower than the RX 580 but was severely limited by the fact that its VRAM buffer was only 4GB in size. Sure, it was HBM1 which had a data bus that was an astonishgly huge 4096 bits wide but that didn't make a huge difference in the end because 8GB GDDR5 > 4GB HBM1. OTOH, the RTX 3060 had 12GB of VRAM but the card didn't have enough GPU horsepower to properly use it as it was an absolute dog at 1440p. The R9 Fury didn't have enough VRAM for it's potent GPU and the RTX 3060 had too much VRAM for its weak GPU. It's a similar balance to what must be maintained between your CPU and GPU for gaming. Going too far with one while ignoring the other makes it useless. MYTH #3 - I AGREE (mostly)! While the silicon lottery is a real thing, most CPUs fall within spitting distance of each other. Most (butnot all) CPUs of the same make and model will usually have OC potential that is within margin of error of each other. However, some will get golden samples that can OC to the moon and others will get dogs that will lose stability with even a mild OC. While it's fair to expect similar performance, nothing is guaranteed and other factors like the cooling solution and motherboard can also have a significant effect. MYTH #4 - I AGREE! Of course they can be used together and for standard PC tasks, there will be no appreciable difference between a weak and potent video card. Having said that, 3D applications and 3D gaming performance will be limited to the performance of the weaker component, in this case, the video card. That's why balance is important. Note that I said 3D gaming because 2D acceleration is a breeze even for weak mobile IGPs. MYTH #5 - I AGREE! As gaming resolution increases, the video card becomes the limiting factor and CPU usage will drop as the CPU will often be waiting for the GPU to complete the draw calls that the CPU is sending it. MYTH #6 - I AGREE! Different CPUs have different strengths. In gaming, 6 and 8-core Ryzen X3D CPUs absolutely destroy even far more expensive 12 and 16-core CPUs but get wrecked themselves in most productivity tasksbecause of their lower clocks. MYTH #7 - I AGREE! I have owned video cards branded ATi, Albatron, ASRock, CirrusLogic, Gigabyte, nVIDIA, Palit, Oak Technologies, Powercolor, Sapphire, XFX and Zotac. They all worked just fine. I have never been a brand or model wh0re with video cards (except that I won't buy MSi, I hate the company). Noobs buy by brand, experts buy by spec. MYTH #8 - I AGREE! Bottlenecks harm performance, not components. MYTH #9 - I AGREE! Never underestimate the stupidity of the masses. "MYTH" #10 - I AGREE (but it's not really a myth, is it?) VRMs handle power distribution and VRAM is video card memory. MYTH #11 - I AGREE! Just ask anyone with an RX 6500 XT mounted on a motherboard that only supports PCIe3. MYTH #12 - I AGREE! AM4 was a "dead" socket for over a year before new AM4 CPUs came out. I still use AM4 because the R7-5800X3D will be plenty fast enough for gaming years from now. It really is the greatest gaming CPU of all-time and AM4 really is the greatest x86 platform of all-time. Having said that, I would be loathe to buy new AM4 components for a new build. MYTH #13 - I DISAGREE! I ONLY buy X-series AMD motherboards but, unlike most users, ALL of my expansion slots are full. If I can fill all the slots on my ASRock X570 Pro4, a B-series board would be insufficient. Remember too that AMD A-series and Intel non-Z-series boards cannot overclock AT ALL. For these reasons, I consider the chipset to be the one of the two MOST important motherboard specifications along with the form factor form factor. I only buy full ATX or oversized eATX boards because I use a server tower and Β΅ATX is useless to me. Overall, a great video!
Thank you so much. I wished I had someone like you right now.
1:26 Did you say Jigabytes? πΊ
Found your channel by accident and loved it. Subscribed!π
Just one slight inaccuracy with myth number 9: AMD DOES have access to upscaling technology (albeit in the form of FSR) as well as frame generation now where they didn't in the past, but many people consider DLSS superior to FSR. Otherwise I think you're right on the money. Nvidia is generally gonna be the better option for anything that doesn't have to do with gaming and if you just want the best ray tracing performance possible. But when I tried running RT on both an Nvidia 4060Ti and an AMD Radeon 7800XT, I could hardly tell a difference most of the time. I switched to AMD so that I would have more VRAM and raw power for the future.
I was waiting for a your video for two months always coming to see if you posted sth here .come on post more i love your videos bro i have learned alot from u i did not know anything about pc's. . Now i can build any pc i want
amazing job. looking forward to your future videos.
