I like presentations of niche products that not much people remembers now, and I got disappointed.
 
All I got was in standard LTT fashion fake/forced reactions and little to none care about the actual product. This GPU does support 1080p as advertised, look at this review https://pcper.com/2011/01/galaxy-geforce-gtx-460-1gb-whdi-edition-wireless-hdmi-streaming/3/ just need to select proper resolution.
 
Evaluating product with wrong resolution set, on some bottom of the barrel monitor which itself probably has dozens of ms of latency. Not validating HDCP, not trying to use it as an actual product. And to be honest for 1080p HTPC setup even today it sounds like nice thing. (yeah, I know 4k is a thing).

I guess making nice product overview is not as "fun" as farming content by shitting on a product... while most issues are caused by users.

 

I'm well aware, they are often pushing cheap entertainment over quality too far. But then again I don't care most of the time, as you noticed I don't ever post here, but this time I just got triggered. I don't expect GN style, dozen graphs video, but at least set the resolution right and evaluate the product fairly. Some basic latency measurement would be a bonus, but I wouldn't expect that from LTT.
 
Then again, people are watching this content and majority is happy with it, so I just need to chill and ignore it.
 
(even Wikipedia confirms that whdi is uncompressed link, so basically half of the video is wrong and misleading)

I don't agree that 8GB of RAM is not enough. It is more than enough for machine with this form factor. I do not believe you would do video editing or any other task that really require more than 8 gigs of physical ram. It is really wrong to imply that web browsers with many tabs require psychical ram to work. In extreme use cases memory can be easily stored in swap, you don't access every single tab at the same time, don't you?

Moreover if you can't manage resources on your PC, buying more ram or hdd space is not a solution. It is just an excuse for laziness.
 
EDIT
 
I use Firefox as my daily browser and since it is 32-bit version. Ram usage is limited to 32-bit address spaces. I'm constantly having around 150 tabs open and it works fine. It is not like you need 16GB ram for that...
 
EDIT2:
 
Also about UI scaling. Windows do everything right. It is all due to software developers  which doesn't adjust their apps for high dpi. So blaming Windows for the issue is wrong.
