Picked up a used Gigabyte HD 4850 with Zalman aftermarket cooler for $10. The Zalman cooler kept temps at just 53°C — massive difference from my previous HD 3850 that hit 106°C! Tested on a Core 2 Duo rig with GTA SA, CoD4, Crysis and more. Full video here: https://youtu.be/0ORqQPk7kjs
Thanks for being the first view and for the detailed feedback! These are my first videos so I'm still finding my style. I've already noticed the pacing issue myself — by the time I reach the HD 5000 series the videos will be faster and tighter. I'm also trying to improve the quality with every new video. On the music, YouTube's copyright system is very strict so options are limited, but I'll keep experimenting. Really appreciate the honest feedback!
Yeah, I’ll go one step further: if I see any evidence of AI slop being used in someone’s work, I dismiss the work and don’t engage it further. That’s people’s water, being chugged by those data centers, for mediocre and untrue bullshit. It directly harms people.
Put the AI in the garbage and use actual elbow grease and real thought.
