I want this one but I can't find any replica on Ali
smart bicycle <:thenk:329322130804047872>
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.
>some people genuinely believe this
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
"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.

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
Aren't Zotac and Colorful chink GPU vendors? They're probably just Colorful factory rejects
and colorful are already trash tier right?
Zotac are okay, no idea about them
They rarely pop up
yeah zotac are legit but colorful always seem off from my impressions, not that i have many
Sapphire are chink too
They look like Sapphire design to me
Maybe just Sapphire rejects
The 580 looks like a black spray painted Sapphire cooler
