aren't they trying to put locks on the cards so you can't mine with them?

@@buckiez (tinfoil hat on) hmm... accidentally... yeah... totally not so there’d be an unlocked driver floating around!
@@buckiez that’s what I know about the situation: the rtx 3060 has some build in hard ware that prevents it from going full power while mining so the miners don’t buy it and there are more cards for gamers and creators that actually need it. But miners have found some way to get around this and run it at full power while mining
I believe they also wanna put this "lock" inside other 30 series cards but haven’t done yet
"it costs under 70$ " ----- 2021 Update it might have cost under 70$ , but now it costs 464$

*SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN*
Win 7 still works too haha
You literally can enable all of that shit once you get the GPU configured.
@@dmaskell92 yes, but why not leave it off hehehe
Party like it's Windows 95.
Secure boot has enough flaws and vulnerabilities to make it basically useless as a form of protection, but very inconvenient for normal users when a windows update inevitably breaks compatibility and forces you to disable it anyways (as has happened to me multiple times already)
Sticking to signed drivers doesn't mean that they're safe, it just means that the company that pushed out the drivers you're able to install just paid some cash to Microsoft. There has been malware in signed drivers before, and it'll happen again.
Windows update is just a huge annoyance, it's perfectly fine to disable it and install updates on your own schedule instead of having windows interrupt you while you're trying to use your computer.
If you want to keep your computer safe, just make sure you have a good antivirus software installed and running. Secure boot, signed drivers, and windows update aren't nearly enough to keep your computer safe from actual malware

"I turned off motion blur because it's stupid" The words passed down for generations! The sacred text that no truth compares to!
I dont game.... what is motion blur and why does everyone hate it?
@@jimmyforester8492 When you move the view in-game motion blur makes the edges of the screen more blurry for a more realistic/cinematic effect but that is not good looking and especially in shooter games it can make it more difficult to see enemies becausd they might be hidden by the blur sometimes
Well sometimes I like motionblur on games
I think the problem is that games tend to exaggerate motion blur too much. When they make it barely noticeable instead, or adjustable, they achieve the desired result.
@@Tomoyou No, it's used to imitate the way your vision blurs when you move your head to look around. But since you're seeing everything through a screen and not actually there you will notice the blur much more easily. Which is why games should make it even less noticeable.

Linus Illegal Tips
The "law makers" preventing people from making a voluntary exchange, are the ones that are being illegal.
I don’t know what I hate more. That Linus ratted them out or that there’s a stupid regulation like this anyway.
The first 3 times I heard it as "they had to put down a computer mouse"
# mice lives matter
To be fair, this would probably be the responsibility of the unnamed seller and not Linus himself.
Yes, that's illegal.
The PRC doesn't allow "high-tech" product shipping out China even in Hong Kong. I live in Hong Kong, and one time I want to buy a Bluetooth speaker on TaoBao, some well-known companies are not willing to ship it even to Hong Kong. A graphics card obviously is a high-tech product, so they have to kind of disguise it as a computer mouse to ship it out.
Anthony's like the guy in sci-fi movies who hacks a sys just by pressing two keys.

"except I turned off motion blur because it's stupid" - every gamer ever
Unless you dont have a PC worth a house , in which case everything is on ultra low.
I leave it on unless i can hit perfect 60. Which is not very often. And sometimes if it's not very intrusive or if it's a racing game, i leave it on even if i get full framerate. I also think, i mean, they have separable motion vectors, they should let you tune down the camera motion blur to where it's minimal or turn it off and retain entity motion blur.
@@SianaGearz it's not because performance, it's because it's a shitty effect
@@juakinbm4605 It both is and it isn't. It's the more necessary, the lower your actual framerate is, to bridge the perceptive gap. This is why and when it came about, in gen7 when they couldn't hit 60. But then, there are many cases where it plain interferes or is too heavy-handed due to technical lapses or control method. It's far more tolerable (and helpful) with a gamepad on games that don't rely on fast camera rotation, but it is prone to make you lose the spatial perception with mouse-aiming.
i laughed when he said that cause i do the same on all my games why cause its stupid :)
These would be super good for GPU rendering in Blender or video edit software! You could run it along side another GPU that you used for display.

@@Nobbie248 no, bumblebee was not an official solution and was not working for all application (games for example).

@@marianmarkovic5881 not really the case on non-G line Ryzen processors. even an old R7 240 is a good back-up. with CPUs that come more and more without an iGPU, you'd be lucky to get display outputs to work on a 3600. and really, Intel iGPUs are really only good for passthrough and web browsing anyway.
@@marianmarkovic5881 the thing is cpu's from AMD that don't have a G which is most of them don't have integrated graphics anyway. To that may I add that on the Intel side of things an i5 9400F is 50£ cheaper than the i5 9400 because it lacks integrated graphics. Like with 50£ you can get a backup gpu like a gtx 770 that can play the latest games half decently, and eSports very well or for much less than 50 you can get a cheapo display adaptor gpu.

NVIDIA has GRID drivers that sometimes are compatible with headless gpus and can be installed on windows server to force the gpu to render graphics and then you can use a virtual display to output. I recently played and recorded Forspoken, which have a lot of specific requirements for the OS, but it only works if the GPU accept GRID drivers. I'm trying to fool a A100 into accepting it, but it is hard to make it render graphics

I can't see nvidia doing that. If they see a chance to sell you a card for more, vs selling a mining card for less they will choose greed - Nvidia have always done that.
The shameless interruption of Anthony at 14:07 made my heart sink a bit.
He seemed to interrupt Anthony a lot in this one 😓
Nah. It could have been just an agreement kinda fake sad thing and he let linus say it better. Think of when you're getting fired, Anthony is your cool boss that kinda doesnt want to fire you, and Linus is the HR rep that doesnt know you and is straight up telling you to go pack your shit and leave.
@@arctikf0x698 exactly
Actually, 10:14 is where I would have killed him. =}:o] "I was explaining the thing, and you made the thing *disappear*!!!"
I thought the same, that said he did interrupt him in order to put an important legal caveat into the video to protect his business soooo
You're awesome. Salute to you.
This is an old video, but i'm now starting to see larger 30 series mining cards hit the market in my area, which is what brought me here.
Totally agree that NVidia needs to enable this functionality to mitigate e-waste and could even charge (a reasonable fee) for the driver to do so.
Nvidia: “You can’t use this card for gaming”
Linus: *Hold my beer*
*drops beer*
Should have been the video Title
You mean: hold my poutine
It's hold my beer and watch this... always roll video!
more like linus says " hey Ill hold your beer while you figure how to follow this forum post" dont think linus had anything to do with this at all until he filmed the video.
Linus: "Don't try this at home!"
Viewers: *immediately buys out all mining cards from Taobao*
shit i've been discovered
@HAZZARD I would give it a shot but I upgraded to ryzen so I don't have onboard graphics
HAZZARD most people who actually want to try this know what their doing, ireckon most viewer here is above average tech savvy
Tried to but won't ship to USA
@HAZZARD well i'd have no issue with it given its part of my job anyways but still worth giving it a shot
walked in from getting a snack on the restating part of the vid
would it be possible to use a cryptocard in a rendering server for mediaencoder for example?
Anthony's presence on-camera is really improving!
I always liked the videos he's involved with. He knows his stuff, has a very decent elocution and has the ability to explain technical things quite well I think.
Anthony is a boss. Dude really knows his shit. I get the impression that he's kinda like the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain for a lot of things that are outside of everyone else's wheelhouse. He just doesn't get the on screen recognition for it. That's my impression anyway from the little he has been on screen.
Oh he's definitely smart af
Matt T you just took the words out of my mouth lol. You can tell dudes a straight up wizard with software
He's the Canadian Wendell
*Nvidia wants to know your location*
4:07 behold, the most glorious sound in the video.
Useful for me and I'm not even using a mining card. The card I want to use doesn't have HDMI, but the TV I want to connect to doesn't have the display connectors it needs. So a good solution without buying adaptors which may not work right,
Great Antony explanation... Please use him more! :)
hail gaben of LTT!
"use him"
He’s one of the more underrated on LMG IMO...
Linus used Anthony! It was very effective!
@@caincha Yeah i like these shady back alley mods Linus doesn't recommend.
Linus: *Roots around in a trash can for 30 seconds, emerging with a half eaten cold cut combo*
Linus: *Plugs it into a PC*
PC: *Has an aneurysm*
Linus: *Disables every possible safety regulation possible that protects the PC and keeps it functioning*
Shadow of the Tomb Raider: *Runs at 4k 120fps using the cold cut as a GPU*
Linus: "Don't do this at home"
Lol
Driver signing is kind of bs tho, who has not disabled it? Along with antivirus and such, IF you actually do stuff with your computer you'll have disabled that att some point.
Quite possibly the greatest comment in history
@@LunaticCharade I don't get antivirus since I use UBlock and NoScript but I don't find any reason to turn off driver signing
Are you the guy who comes up with LTT Ideas for videos?
Anthony Is a great addition with Ninja nerd skillz!
that was super cool and super maddening!
Linus do it solder a HDMI port. 😉
If it has pins to use, it'll happen.

If the BIOS is programmed not to output anything, such action is a waste of time. I am pretty certain they did, and only reuse the PCB from other cards. Stop dreaming and think more about how it works.
@@livyinverse7471 But, They could be lazy and not do that until someone does what they're suggesting.
@@livyinverse7471 Flashing the BIOS to enable the "output" is incredibly easy and even you can do it..Lulwut?:
"All high except motion blur because it's stupid" are the smartest words that came of your mouth. Pure wisdom sir!
This alone made me want to sub to this channel a billion times.
Motion blur and depth if field? Oh, you want to puke for 6 hours!?!
The only game that eber looked cool and didn't make me sick with motion blur was HL2: EP2
Personally i like motion blur, and for me when I often can't game at a full 60fps on my aging gaming laptop it helps to reduce image ghosting. Just my two cents.
@@johnnytopgun6414 I don't get motion sickness or anything from motion blur, I just hate the visual effect personally
@@sunwolf87 and that's console games at 30 fps for you
Most of the videos I click on have Anthony in them, thanks for the dope stuff
That is incredible!
omfg please just send one to rossmann and let him connect an hdmi port to the gpu with his nice, ironic voice tone while flaming nvidia
Best idea ever. Love Luis and his sarcasm
+1!
+1 this is the best idea I heard today
sounds like perfect collab chance to me.
@Shambles1980TRealOne agreed, simple job wtf they need rossmann for that
Now get 2 of them and SLI i wanna see the most Janky, Chinese thrift shop rig, that can run games at high spec
1060's can't be run in sli unfortunately.
THIS!
Its impossible, gtx 1060 doesnt support sli
isn't there sli hack for 1060?
There is a program, OzTalksHW did a video on it, it‘s called SLIAny or something like that.
Wowed. Is this possible to use with video editing software like DaVinci/Premiere or Blender?
seeing linus without a beard is so weird now
lol true
This is like 2 years old lmao
