I paid $100 for this GPU, Is it worth picking up today? Techwando 2025-01-28 | Before the Green team realized that their Titan naming scheme was bad for sales... these were the 90 class of the past. With a $1,200 MSRP, you can now find them at a 10th of what they originally cost. All that being said, should you pick one of these up? Well that depends. Ideally a RTX 3060 would be the best choice, but if you find one for $100 I would say go for it.Watch the rest of the video for my full opinion.

The FLOOD of RTX 4090s has introduced a new SCAM... Techwando 2025-01-11 | First off, I am aware that this scam is NOT new. That being said, I have not seen it locally in volumes like this before. I think it is important for our PC part hunting fellow friends and family to be aware of this situation. These scammers are making a ton of money off this and it will continue as long as people are falling for it. Make sure if you are going to buy one of these cards to inspect it very close to see if the die is actually missing from the card.Let me know your thoughts, thank you all so much!0:00 Intro/SCAM0:45 My friend was the victim1:51 Look for the GPU Die 2:17 The scammer4:27 Others were scammed6:12 Hardware Unboxed7:29 More info and thoughts9:49 Interesting eBay listings
Was this PAWN SHOP PC worth it? - Stress Tests & Methodologies Techwando 2025-01-06 | I try to do my best to talk people out of buying the wrong thing even if it's something that I am selling for my personal gain. In this video, I had a guy reach out to me on Facebook marketplace looking for a PC that could perform well at Ultra/high settings in the new Indiana Jones game. Knowing how hard that game is to run, I told him I actually didn't have anything I could sell him that would comfortably run it at the settings he desires. So I helped him find a PC locally on a pretty quick timeline as he seemed to have been on the hunt for a while now. After looking around for a bit, he showed me this PC that came from a pawn shop that I had previously purchased PCs from and it happened to a be a pretty good deal all things considered.In this video we will test the PC and go over my testing methodologies.CONTENT 0:00 Intro1:00 Reveal1:20 PC $pecs3:25 First Boot5:25 Clean Enough?

How fast will an ARC Gaming PC SELL vs Nvidia or AMD. lets find out... Techwando 2024-12-18 | In this video, I will be attempting to sell a PC with an ARC GPU in it. It has been over a year since the last time I tried this. The first few times I sold PCs with A770s and A750s, the buyers who were mostly uniformed, were not happy. Mostly due to backwards compatibility with games which INTEL has ironed out over the last year or so.

I found a $30 PC, does it work? Techwando 2024-11-21 | Lately the market has been crazy, people are practically giving away old hardware. and some of these older builds really do hold up well.
