Posted May 24, 2018 When GPU prices stayed high for so long, people started to get desperate... So we went shopping for cheap GPUs on AliExpress to see what happens! Buy a GTX 1060 6GB for a not ridiculous sum: On Amazon: http://geni.us/brR9s On Newegg: http://geni.us/uujZ Buy an actually warrantied GTX 1080 for less than we paid for this one: On Amazon: http://geni.us/1YhzB On Newegg: http://geni.us/zTV7HI Emily @ LINUS MEDIA GROUP congratulations on breaking absolutely zero stereotypes - @cs_deathmatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 24, 2018 Aliexpress is dodgy, no protection. You need a proven track record from other forum people to buy from a company on Aliexpress. I have purchased lots of stuff from known reputable Aliexpress companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 24, 2018 Dude! I had no idea that Elsa still existed!? I think the first videocard I ever bought was an Elsa Victory Erazor with an Nvidia Riva 128 Chip. Those were commonly available in germany back then. I wonder if it's still the same company.

Posted May 24, 2018 Just now, clean said: could have made the in-video advertisement longer for you to be pleased... They probably did. A video on youtube makes more money when it's 10 minutes or longer. The video is exactly 10 minutes because they presumably padded it to get to the 10 minutes mark for the better ad revenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 24, 2018 2 hours ago, Pangea2017 said: Boring until the chart for the 1060 5gb vs 6gb come one. Why hide it behind this overused cheap aliexpress title? That's a good question. I think that's probably best left to someone like Gamers Nexus - a bit too specific for Linus, but it'd be an interesting content piece.

Posted May 25, 2018 4 hours ago, ONOTech said: Commented this on the video but I'll say it here, too. From my personal experience, Aliexpress is usually more legit than ebay with these video cards, which I found surprising. Granted, I have no clue how well Aliexpress' return policy works, but I've only had great experiences with ebay's and their buyer protection. Nonetheless, if you want bottom of the barrel prices and local deals suck, go Ali. You can find authentic $60 2 GB GTX 750 Tis on Ali. I highly recommend it if you don't mind waiting a month for shipping. Glad that bigger channels are looking into this! saw your comment on the video maybe ill buy one 750 the prices are amazing!

We are using their cheap cards for our products in 24/7 environments and not a single problem with those cards. We requested P6000 from them for our evaluation and they loaned us the card for free.

Posted May 25, 2018 Considering how many fans Linus has, I think this video is doing a disservice to them. While he may have buckets of cash to throw around, many people do not, and video is going to encourage them to visit AE to see if they can't get "an even better deal!" and get ripped off. This was an irresponsible video. NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 25, 2018 The GTX 1060 5G exists, but iirc, it's exclusive to China and internet cafes, which is why you didn't find info about it on the North American site.
