RAM's cheap. I bought a 4GB stick for ~30$ at a local store
ram may be cheap but I'm even cheaper
3gb is plenty
I'll steal some from work i guess
@gunnercobra i know, asked that in the thread and some anon reply this: >>61777239 (You)
Looks like that seller changed his xiaomi controller (which is discontinued) listing to keep the number of order and postive ratings. I'd buy from another seller as that seems shady.
@TheYellowBandit get a gimbal 🤔
chink furniture is so much more expensive than ikea and similar
I want this one but I can't find any replica on Ali

why <:thenk:329322130804047872>
it also looks uncomfy as fuck
It kills stupid kids.
wondering who the hell buys GPUs from gearbest
pajeets and russians probably
real talk tho
how good could they be
Well, the chinks are making legit supercomputer CPUs, because they don't want to get cucked by Intel. Could be good, could be shit.
The Chinese will simply steal whatever Intel or AMD or even IBM makes, they aren't going to be making any OC ever
i mean tbh
i'd expect the chinese graphics cards are just reference design but with some cheaper parts
probably more cheaply made pcbg as well
not about to drop money on any to verify that but
by cheaper parts i'm talking like "hey why get the $0.01 resistor for R25 when we could get the $0.001 one
not "let's use a cheaper gpu and mislabel it:"
It'll work probably but no one really thinks it's going to be anything but a much cheaper and slightly lower performance intel card
"why use a $4 fan in the cooler when we could use a $2 fan
"silkscreen on the pcb? who even looks at those, leave it off"
"let's make this slave child drill out the board instead of the expensive robot" is also a possibility
the fact that they still cost a few hundred tells me they're using legit amd/intel/nvidia gpus on the chinese video cards since that one part is nearly the entire cost of the card
They legit bought some old CPU architecture (most likely for next to nothing) and upgraded it. It was dirt cheap to manufacture (not paying for the intel inside sticker), so they can easily get a powerful supercomputer. Just increase the number of CPUs in the machine until you get acceptable performance.
Source: my father who is in the supercomputer business (as a buyer).
also yeah china does actually design stuff too
just they aren't sitting there designing their own gpus then labeling them as nvidia/amd
there's no reason for them to so they will not
malware on the hardware? no point spending so much on engineering for something that simple
hardwarewise you can do that with an off the shelf part that costs a few cents
so software engineering only instead of that _and_ designing new expensive part
just grab yourself a bootleg microcontroller out of shenzhen and you have everything you need
