it like ssd card over taking gen 4 slots in bios cause it crash because gpu was stealing back gen 4 so both cant work out with each other just ended up crashing he wasnt only one who have it but few people have it too (few customers have that problem with 4080 or 4090 turn it on it crash at when window boot it crash) i dont get it why only supports one gen 4 slots for reasons cant run two gen 4 slot at same time
And that’s exactly why I’ve gone on a Mac I’ve other stuff to do than to debug my freaking computer every time I want to do something with it !Edit: Because all of you seems to hate me because I’ve said something positive about my Mac let’s clarify some stuff : I'm a tech nerd as much as you guys (I am a software engineer after all), but it's just my POV, my mac has been the most stable machine I had in years. And I’ve fixed a good amount for pcs for family and friends, but after spending my day chasing bugs I don’t want to troubleshoot my computer ! No, I'm not a desktop pc hater, I'm not a sheep either and I recognize that gaming on a Mac is meh. However I have a desktop pc, I dual boot Fedora and Windows on mine and it's relatively recent (R7 2700X, 32gb 3200 ddr4, RX 5700XT). I don't game as often as before so my Macbook is still my daily computer because I enjoy it more. (And with the current energy crisis, for the win the 15W TDP of M1) But guys, you need to realize something, gaming is not the only thing people does on their computer...
Really makes me wonder how many people just blame AMD, when the issue was something else entirely. I've used AMD cards since AMD cards were a thing, lol. Never experienced all the "drive problems" people claim have been a thing. Maybe I'm just lucky. I used a couple of Nvidia cards as well, and no problems there. Really love some of the features of both of them, and wish there were alternatives. AMD's Chill is completely underrated.
What I've learned in this video: - Don't turn off your PC randomly multiple times, especially when you don't know what it's doing - Just because your motherboard has a bunch of slots for stuff doesn't mean it can actually handle you populating most of them at once - If all else fails pop off that battery for a bit - New GPU's are freaking power hogs - Update your drivers - Luke really doesn't care as long as it works, a man after my own heart
This is one thing jankiest hardware episodes I've seen. They're not even trying to install properly. It's like they're trying to sabotage AMD and make AMD look bad. And we can see that if they're going to put the GPU lying on top of the case then there's no way they will be running these cards long term. And they are making it blatantly obvious. Not even trying. And this is the same person who a few days ago put out a labs video trying to say how they're going to be professional in their labs. Methodical? No. Between 3 of them they can't install 3 GPUs properly. LTT used to be fun and capable. But it's starting to look very tabloidy and dumb.
@@XTJ7 Unfortunately Scrapyard Wars wasn't profitable enough. Despite how many people say they want it the actual videos didn't perform well enough for the amount of effort/cost, this is an unfortunate side effect of their success. In addition to the cost and profit of the individual videos they also have to consider how each video will effect the rest, the algorithms are heartless beast. The only hope is if they do something on a side channel but for now they don't have the spare capacity. Luke's also way over booked right now as he's managing both Floatplane and acting as chief technology officer (CTO) for LMG.
Love how Jake drilled new holes in his bracket to raise the reservoir when he could have just... turned the bracket 180 degrees and used the original holes
Exactly what I was thinking. Now I wasn't there so I can't say for sure that would have worked. It could be that it would have resulted in a either to low or to high situation as there were a limit to how high the reservoir could be installed. Now it ended up just about as high as it could be installed as it was just touching the loop at the top. And there weren't a ton of space between the res and the GPU. Still I'd like to think that he did test that before he started drilling...
not really, his old episodes were not him fighting with a giant hairball system full of custom watercooling and convoluted RAID setups creating nightmares whenever you replace anything. That being said; the videocards these days are just too damn big, a 4090 would have gone as well.
@@anasevi9456 A 4090 is a totally different league of too big. One, the 7900XT, is just big in the same way a 5700XT or 3080 or 6800XT was big. The other is literally a meme that can't fit in people's cases and has that stupid af dongle that "it only bursts into flames if you bend it tho" :proceeds to place it exactly where you HAVE TO bend it against the glass: RTX 4080, 4070ti, and 4090 are possibly the *worst* value graphics accelerators to have ever been made. RTX 4090 is also the second 90 to literally burst into flames. Imagine getting a 3090 or 4090 and burning your whole PC down. Well money doesn't matter to you, so it surely shouldn't matter right)))

Honestly it's a shame how many gamers isolate themselves from AMD products, when it really has nothing wrong with it. Similar concept is calling the use of AMD cards a "challenge"
@@zzzyyy5034 i call bs compare the rx 6600xt and non and rtx 3060 and rtx 3060ti and you'd see amd has better power efficiency. bad game optimization? did you even watch the first minute of linus saying about amd fine wine with over the years driver optimizations, and most of the time AMD driver issues are caused by windows 10 updates idk about win 11. even compare for raw performance to price ratio AMD wins in rasterization performance and don't forget the RX 6700xt has higher memory size than the 3070 the only reason nvidia is still being shilled and the go-to for braindead nvidia fans are because NVIDIA has been a on top of GPU industry for over two decades now and people are assured by its performance regardless of price for the less-than-caring consumers since while it may serve actual users who need beefy gpu for 3d animation, rendering and other AI related things. and don't forget that nvidia was the one that introduced the Ray Tracing and made it popular but didn't give enough vram for those 70s series and the new 4060 since it's more vram intensive with RT on, but nvidia fans will always be nvidia fans even though rasterization performance is near perfection for lighting effects and in its current state Ray tracing isn't even worth it for the average users. your comment saying "amd cards has bad game optimization" is just lazy, misleading, one-sided and just pure shilling.
@Fredhash amd is quite poorly optimized in a lot of games because they tend to favor Nvidia. Theres times where my 7900xtx will struggle to match my friends with Nvidia cards simply because of drivers. My PC is the best out of all my friends but depending on the game my friends with nvidia will beat me out usually only in terms of stability. Very rarely do they beat my performance unless it's ray tracing which amd still sucks at. Also VR support on amd card is garbage from 6000 series up. Quest link will say your system isn't able to run min specs because there is no official support for the 7000 series at all I've been on team red from the 5700xt. If it wasn't for the prices being better I would've gone back to team green
As much as Luke is busy doing other stuff, he is still absolute top tier on-screen talent for this channel/company. He is just so damn personable. Glad to see more of him once again.
@@mura_saki So? It does not mean they always have to have janky methods. I mean... seriously? That was the only solution? To mount a 1000 USD GPU on the top of his case? He put 0 effort into it. Looks garbage. I would be ashamed to release a video with this kind of method.
Yup, Luke's the one with rocks in his PC. And yeah, I actually burst out laughing when the camera panned up to the GPU, and it turned into a cackle with the PSU reveal. Absolute delicious jank.
The last time I had an AMD card was the FX8320 back when I was in highschool. I recently decided it was time to upgrade and settled on the Gigabyte 3080 TI OC. Well after having to RMA not one, but two of them, I decided to put my foot down, and saw the 6950 XT was outperforming the 3080 Ti and switched to AMD. Zero issues, loving this AMD card.
I got a 6800XT late last year and it’s been excellent. Upgraded from a 6600XT that I got a few months prior which replaced my RX580. It’s been a huge improvement every step and I don’t see myself switching off of AMD any time soon
Every time I watch these videos, I am constantly reminded how happy I am that I'm a dev who games and works on a giant black box rig that has 2x the space needed for all my PC parts. Also, I don't water cool anything cause I'm lame and that makes my life simple and boring... just the way I like it. It is sure as hell entertaining watching them overcome all these insane bottle necks (sometimes literally) just to upgrade a GPU lol
And here I am with a SFF case with *way* too much stuff crammed in it. At least it makes shopping for motherboards easy, by the time I filter by chipset, mITX and compatibility there's always like 2 options heh
Just built a lian li v3000 monstrosity here. Plenty of real estate left after a 4090, 64TB NAS, 2 x 420mm rads, 30mm rad shrouds, optimus d5 res, and my old giga chad 1600W Hercules psu installed. I used to just mount everything on a old 60's typing table I spray painted because no cases on the market would fit everything, ran open air for 14 years or so since my X58 Classified build. This is the first time being able to build my stuff into a tower lol

That's about as likely as Nvidia actually getting their act together, FIRING their shitty leadership, OUSTING the Shareholders that encourage their anti-competitive behavior, issuing an apology to the world FOR their shitty behavior, and actually actually being a decent company that other companies like EVGA WANT to partner with. Seriously, someone really needs to slap Nvidia with legal action
Yeah I was gonna say, my last driver update on my RX580 made my processor run 15% at idle, so if he expects bug free drivers from AMD he might be setting unrealistic expectations. I went like 3 days without being able to run a single tab of chrome smoothly. Granted it was fixed, but yeah, for three days my computer was frustratingly slow, and I thought it might be a failing component until the driver was patched and I did the match about when it started to slow down. Overall it's probably better, but also, it's computers, nothing is perfect.
Nice! Also, if you keep the AMD GPU, you can do another Linux Challenge. Lots has happened with Linux in the past year and AMD is ALOT more stable and usable + more features then the crappy nVidia driver on Linux.
I just got myself a Sapphire 7900 XTX recently, and am absolutely in love with it. It completely curb-stomps my aging 2080 ti, and the Adrenalin suite is so much better than Nvidia's GeForce "Experience" (It certainly was one.) Gone completely team Red, which I haven't been with for years in terms of GPU, with a 5950x & 7900 XTX combo, and have been having a great time.
F3 is a very common error to see when swapping hardware on a machine and all that should be needed is to use the CMOS reset button. It's usuually because the the i/o cache still has the swapped device but it's detecting a new device in its place and the BIOS won't boot because of it.
@m_train1 that’s a new one for me, that’s a pretty cool tip, obvious really when you think about it, which obviously I didn’t, but I love learning new things so thank you 👍
Caches across reboots and power offs? Isn't it plain easier to turn off fast boot options so hardware detect is done properly. I've been rebuilding and just shutting down via "Reset this PC" and picking UEFI options or power off avoids losing the configuration.
if you use 2 power supply's you must run a jumper between earth pins on both supplies to standardize GND across both suppiles. Likely a different in potential to ground was causing unexcepted under voltage across the load of both supplies.
KEEP DOING THESE 30 DAY CHALLENGES!!! This is the best thing after benchmarking for us customers to know how a product would be in the long run, thank you and keep these 30 days challenges coming!
Lol AMD is only good if you will run modern and future games, many older titles are shyt or can’t run properly on Win 10 or 11 Let alone if you wish to emulate, sure it’ll reach the goal but nothing like Nvdia just leave AMD to the consoles and handhelds lol Like they say “NVDIA the way it’s meant to be played” 😂🤯 Originally wTched this channel before I got my 6800U Mini Pro but wow If people can’t see that he’s an affiliate just promoting every new trend then y’all ain’t buying shyt or will end up wasting you money = that’s how he gets paid
I'm team 'whatever is best price per performance'. Currently still using a 5700xt I got in mar 2020 and absolutely hated it for the first 6 months. Been solid since they put out some stable drivers.
I wanted an nvidia for my very first built gaming pc, but could not find one for a decent price, so I had to settle for a 6650xt. I am now waiting for it. I just hope it works out fine.
@@ArniesTech No, sadly it's not. Linus is a really good RUclipsr and has a good streamer voice - but he definitely isn't a tech pro. This episode is fully believable. The editing is pretty good, but i assume that they wanted to record the whole process in one efficient take and then the typical Linus-double-lefthandedness just happened...
I am constantly building PCs. And even with completely identical builds THERE CAN be absolutely different problems. I really think that for some builds you HAVE TO shed your blood to get it working properly.
I've had to 'McGyver' computers. They had to be delivered to a customer, so I had to work hard to overcome physical mounting issues without ending up with parts outside the chassis. It's kind of fun solving problems. I made a crude suction device once to catch metal shavings while dremeling inside a server case. That was not fun.
Best is when you start removing things, issue not rectified, then go back to the way it was and all is suddenly fine. 25 years of dealing with computers and I still don't understand them.
The pure enjoyment and gigling from Jake when Linus realize he has to use the riser is hilarious. Then the look on Linus's face when he's being hit with boxes. It looks like he's thinking "why me, why did we adopt this adult child". 🤣
I've pretty much had all these issues before at some point when "just trying to install a new PCI-e card" on a PC, so it's satisfying to see someone else having to go through the lovely experience of hours of troubleshooting just to get the PC back into order.
Had to spend 2 hours troubleshooting what ended up being a bad psu when I first got my 3070, also had my old 970 nearly destroyed a PCI-e slot, nothing can ever go wrong in tech land 😂
I had a similar USB cutout issue that was resolved by updating chipset drivers. It's a good reminder to update *everything* when you change your build.
+1 for chipsrt drivers. Whenever you upgrade,or even annually, it's worth trying to update everything you possibly can. Only thing you can maybe skip is your BIOS, provided it's already working and there aren't new features you want, everything else is worth an update
I did update to latest chipset drivers but still no change, it problem goes away if I disconnect my Bluetooth headset, Apparently I read its due to the wireless Bluetooth interference with usb3, and it's long known to happen
@@KookoCraft you aint wrong lol I just find it hard to take anything serious these days on these omni sponsored channels but other than that the comment is just venting water in the ocean ;)_
@@zeus-tt4gp I mean last generations cards were tit for tat with nvidia 30 series in rasterization performance, and it’s pretty close this generation as well. None of the problems Linus ran into were from the card or amd drivers so quality isn’t an issue here either. The only thing nvidia has big over them is ray tracing.
Love this kind of thing. "The computer isn't working and I don't know why". So frustrating, but you come up with theories, test those theories, and it works or it doesn't. Then, new theories, then, etc.
I think when it comes to tech videos, it's just as important to see what doesn't work as what does. The approach that didn't work for the host may be one that does work for you, and you wouldn't have thought to try it without seeing them try first.
It's a fun and sobering experience. I had late nights of trying to figure out what's going on with my shit along with my friends over beer and when we did it was the biggest shot of dopamine I've had that month.
When they got into linus issues i sat here and said "Dude clear the cmos" lol. Nice to know every tech person suffers through the same stuff now and again. Love you guys, your so fun to watch when your all together on these projects. I remember a time when my boss bought a new gaming PC and the USB didn't work on it, I ran some tests and all I found out of place was the new hard drive needed defragged badly. I defragged it and the USB started working, got to love PC issues lol. New GPU sizes makes it feel like when you get a new card you have to figure out how to put a watermelon inside of a cantaloupe.
I was green team for years, then had an RX580 and absolutely loved it. It was crazy how long it lasted doing solid framerates, and AMDs support for it never stopped. Back with Nvidia for now but likely to go Red again next card. Some of AMDs features are really nice quality of life things I miss now. I used to use Radeon Chill constantly, and the Freesync + Enhanced Sync combo was buttery smooth and really nice for virtually every game. I even used that sometimes while I was playing semipro esports because I'd forget to turn it off, and despite being sensitive to latency it was basically imperceptible difference compared to Enhanced Sync off. I think AMD testing put the difference at sub 1ms which I can believe. I went back to green with a 3060ti when it came out and I like it but don't love it. I was really looking at trying out some raytracing and expecting DLSS to be imminent future, but raytracing is still ridiculously demanding most of the time compared to the benefits it offers in most games, and DLSS is still too niche. So for the present I'd take the AMD feature set I'd actually use regularly over the Nvidia advantages. FSR is increasingly decent anyway, and I miss my Freesync + Enhanced Sync that smoothed out a lot of titles more than I'm achieving with my 3060ti regardless of settings. Next card will be Red again unless DLSS finally becomes standard, and even then I play so many old games and esports titles that features based on new games probably isn't worth it for my use. Also from my relatively short time paying attention to the Red Team it does feel like they put more effort into user experience and value for customers.
Realistically, with FSR being open source and easier to implement, that will probably become the standard. Most games that support one, support the other as well at this point in time
I was traded a 580 4 gb and put it in an at home work PC (Ryzen 5 5600, 16 gb 3600 RAM). Surprised how well it works. I haven't done anything super demanding on it, though I did run a benchmark of Shadow of the Tomb raider. Pleasantly surprised by it. My main gpu is a RTX 2060 but the if the older 580 is any indication, I suspect the new amd GPU's are worth checking out.
@@kingjon5818 FSR 2.0 is okay, I did call it "increasingly decent" and it's just going to improve. Early DLSS was ultra janky too. And again more importantly for my use case as someone who spends most of my playtime on esports titles and older games, I lean towards 1080p high refresh rate and image reconstruction is seldom if ever a factor. Although I see Overwatch 2 has FSR but is almost always going to be used to a minimal degree and looks largely indistinguishable from pure native res because of it.
People who know tech have the weirdest tech issues because they know enough to be dangerous with their tech, but there’s too much to be an general expert on most of it.
His setup is so personalized with the most niche hardware requirements and janky configurations. Like his home, all this complexity makes something that SHOULD be easy so much more difficult to troubleshoot.
That's what you get when you use such a niche non-tested combination of top of the line new hardware like Linus personal setup. My line is "don't go to cheap to be the bottom 1% user and don't go to expensive to be the top 1% user" since both will lead you to chaos
What do you expect here really? AMD cards work just as well as Nvidia cards. It only comes down to whether you need to use ray tracing in games. But for that there are benchmark graphs already.
This is why Asus at least has a warning to update your chipset drivers with a bios update and I generally am always checking to see if there’s been an ME update through them. Glad I did it when I updated 10 revisions worth of bios last week 😅

@@takomusic1 Right click, AMD software. All the tabs are super intuitive. Getting to my fan curves is simple, setting up profiles for different games is simple, and overclocking and boosting performance is simple. I really like my 580 and I'm scared for when it comes time to upgrade. It's treated me really well for a long time now. I don't think I'd consider Nvidia with all the bugs and performance issues. That's not to say every software update has been peachy... a recent driver update on the 580 had my R5 3600 running at 15% at idle. Two days later it was fixed, but for like two days my computer struggled to open a chrome tab and I was sweating my ass off thinking something was failing. OTHER THAN THAT, peaches.
@@MarwinEwert Nvidia control panel works fine, i dont know how easy to use AMD's equivalent is though. However this is important, i urge anyone to AVOID Geforce experience and get the drivers on your own of Nvidias website. Used Geforce Experience for years on 2 pc's, especially on my previous desktop with a 1070 and i ended up getting BSOD's after just a year or so, random BSOD, it was horrible. Uninstalled the drivers and Ge Experience then got the drivers off the website, and all was fine. :) its just a nasty program, you got no idea what driver youre actually installing.
@@Erikcleric that's the problem "works fine" is what makes NVIDIA not update this awful thing. AMD has one app for everything, with a decent UI (not a win XP like), where you can set everything up, monitors, graphics, performance, live streaming, recordings, fan curves, GPU overclock.... The list goes on. It's one app that can do ANYTHING you need, NVIDIA needs to update their stuff, at this point it's just outdated and not efficient
I think it's crazy how fast we're moving with computers. Just in the past half decade we've came a very very long way. My system was a rather mid range build in 2017, a mid range system these days is more than I would ever need to play some games. Money really does talk.
tbf Moore's Law was at full throttle for awhile, but now with that slowing down, there actually needs to be some engineering ingenuity apart from "PACK MORE SMALLER TRANSISTORS." Even with the RTX40 series, the form factor is getting beyond consumer levels for a consumer level product. I'd say the next few years should reveal how the trend will change, but I think many expect it to slow down, myself included.
Video cards have been focusing on 4k for years and im still on 1080p, so any new card is a huge upgrade and i will be able to play mostly everything on ultra quality. Just bought an used 2060super and im anxious to see how better it will be over my rx580 :D
@PepsiMan2333 I'm just saying since PC gaming has gotten more popular it seems like the better performance gets each year, more money is more funding to put towards making better products.

Lukes attempt is how we're going to see eGPU solutions come out for future generations.

Will be nice to stack ontop of mITX rigs and/or keep heat seprate from other components!
I actually did this when I got a 3090 a couple months back. Only had a 650w psu, but I had an old 500w laying around, so...the 500w powered JUST the gpu lol I've since upgraded to an 850w psu and downgraded to a 3080 since the 3090 was a bit much.

This video reminded me of why I love PCs and all the strange quirks and issues you get and have to troubleshoot. Awesome watch. Thanks team Ltt. Haven't had a working PC for ages, (last PC build was i7-5820k with a GeForce 1070./ Rx570 ) Asus x99 motherboard where I hacked together my personal best in the PCMasterRace, a triple boot with Linux Mac and windows. Her name was Danaerus. She was killed in a power surge from Eskom loadshedding in South Africa. Hello everyone, my name is G, it's been 5 years since I booted up my desktop PC :')
I can't wait for the update after they've been using it for a bit. I've been on the 7900 XTX since launch and it is an awesome card. I've really only had some weird driver timeout issues but those have been more isolated on one game. the more recent driver updates have been great as well.
The new 7900xtx drivers are complete garbage went from a 3080ti evga to an7900xtx taichi card error after error black with white and driver timeout every single time. New bios new ios clean installs. Returning this garbage.
You just need to love Seasonic. Top 3 PC psu brand if not no.1 for all these years and they are always willing to sponsor literally every type of video Linus is doing. Respect !
The funny thing is, I'm running a 7900XTX with a 750W PSU and it's no problem at all. Not even coming close to the limit at 100% usage. It's the Sapphire NitroX tho, which recommends 850W, not 1000+ like for example ASRock does.
I actually hate seasonic. I bought a PSU and the cables were so hard to plug in and unplug. They were also 2 screws short for when I went to install it. I ended up returning the power supply and using my old one
@@aybehcee i understand, that sounds pretty annoying.. but still, you cannot say they aren't build like tanks 😂 and they sure have a good PR team too. Ps: I have a 1600W Corsair psu, and custom cables as well.
Only issue I had with my 7900 XTX for 2-3 months was only able to set my monitor to 144hz - it finally came down to a driver issue as the last update fixed it - Now I can use 170hz 😁 Kudos to the AMD forum for listening to me and the many others who had the same issue 🥰
I've had no issues with my seasonic PSU. I don't think it's ever turned on the fan, and I know I have the fan enabled. Very happy with the product thus far. I plan to go with AMD this generation, Nvidia seems out to lunch with prices. Maybe the 4060 won't be crazy priced, but I'm certainly not holding my breath. I'll likely be in the market for a 7700xt or maybe 7800 depending on price/performance metrics.

A quick PSA: With the latest drivers AMD cards as old as the Fury line get MLIR/Vulkan for compute support, meaning hardware accelerated computations on windows (for AI/Folding etc) are finally viable. ROCm on Linux is still a bit faster, but now they're comparable.

Similar with 2060 super and 6950XT but my first game I tried was Cyberpunk 2077 and on the latest drivers it crashed every time I changed any settings but only on Windows drivers. On Linux it works flawlessly and TBH I usually run Linux anyways and It's running like a dream.
@@mithrandirearendur1282 This is more micro$shit forcing drivers onto GPUs. Disable automatic drivers, and install AMD drivers straight from the website, will work brilliantly. But anyway, I'm with you, I use Linux too. Tired of Winblows. I wish for speedy HDR support in Wayland, but I can live with it for now.
I jumped on an RX 5700 XT when it came out. Took AMD a while to make stable drivers, but after they became stable I've been very happy with the card. Waiting for AMD to launch 7700 XT, or whatever it's going to be called, so that I can upgrade.
Same the 5700 xt was insanely good value when it came out and better value than anything else today. Still the reference cooler sucked and I installed a proper GPU cooler on and it's been fine.
@John Macknight it's a beast, been playing most modern games with little problems at 3440x1440p with fsr. I'm gonna use it in a build for my son. Gonna set him up with a solid 1080p build.
I own a 1080Ti, AMD 6900XT and PowerColor 7900XTX. My suggestion is to buy a 6950 for 699.99. You'll get virtually the same game play performance as every GPU from the 1080Ti thru the 4090 (no RT on).
9:16 this is why I found myself an FC8 Alpha case. You don't need a riser if there's on open slots for any card at most 1 centimeter, which so happen to be: HD60 Pro, GT 1030, and Pulse RX 6400, they all fit.
The everyday struggle of "just putting in a new card". Love it 😂 But I am just wondering why did Jake not simply turn the bracket upside down and use the other set of screw holes below one row? Instead of needing to drill two new holes? But the solution of Luke had me laughing in tears.
Very satisfying seeing someone else going through it, I mean, there's not much to it, is there? And how hard can it really be to just insert a new PCI-e card on the motherboard? Even some blind person who has never touched a PC could probably do it!...
I love that it goes from Jake, who does it all properly then Linus who is a little jank then just Luke's which is just sitting on the case with a power supply on the floor. couldn't be any jankier
I'm very excited to see the follow up videos in this series. I'm contemplating getting a 7900 xtx in the next couple of months so this kind of review is amazing for me.

The last time I had an AMD graphics was back when it was ATI which was on a "gaming" laptop back when I was right out of basic training in 2008. That little computer handled games way better than I expected and it served me well for a few years till I got into Nvidia-powered laptops in college. Recently, I decided to pick up a 7900 XTX and jump ship again and see how it fairs.
@@tdm17mn So, I did end up downgrading to a 7800XT as the power draw was too much for my SFF PSU. Granted, I had the one that comes with the NZXT H1v2. It would cause shutters and would occasionally shut the computer off or restart it. The PSU fan would also scream after gaming. With the 7800XT, it's been a non-issue. Now if you have a ATX set up, it shouldn't be an issue.
I switched to AMD a few years ago after i had 2 different GTX 1070's die on me after just a few months so i bought a Vega 56 which worked perfectly for gaming in 1440P 144Hz and i eventually gave it to my nephew after upgrading to the 5700XT which also worked perfectly and now i'm using an RX 6800 which also hasn't given me a single issue so far. I also like that AMD usually has much better price to performance and that their cards just work out of the box on Linux without having to install any propriety drivers.
Linux support is my reason for going team red as well. Linux gaming still isn't perfect, but I haven't felt the need to even have a windows partition or VM for several years now.
Not had a single issue running with it, had nothing but crashes with nvidia over the last 2 years. Constant having to do fresh driver installs to fix problems...Nada one yet
Was looking at 3070s back in november ($579) at the time, got an rx 6800 for ($499) and i love that thing in 1440p... i couldnt be any happier saved a ton of money and gained a ton of performance and future proofing with the amount of vram

Are you guys team AMD or team Nvidia? Let us know down below!
I’m team Linus
Team AMD
AMD
Intel :D
nvidia but going amd
I love how all the problems on this video are not caused by the graphics card
That's the best part about it all.
it like ssd card over taking gen 4 slots in bios cause it crash because gpu was stealing back gen 4 so both cant work out with each other just ended up crashing
he wasnt only one who have it but few people have it too (few customers have that problem with 4080 or 4090 turn it on it crash at when window boot it crash)
i dont get it why only supports one gen 4 slots for reasons cant run two gen 4 slot at same time
And that’s exactly why I’ve gone on a Mac I’ve other stuff to do than to debug my freaking computer every time I want to do something with it !Edit:
Because all of you seems to hate me because I’ve said something positive about my Mac let’s clarify some stuff :
I'm a tech nerd as much as you guys (I am a software engineer after all), but it's just my POV, my mac has been the most stable machine I had in years.
And I’ve fixed a good amount for pcs for family and friends, but after spending my day chasing bugs I don’t want to troubleshoot my computer !
No, I'm not a desktop pc hater, I'm not a sheep either and I recognize that gaming on a Mac is meh.
However I have a desktop pc, I dual boot Fedora and Windows on mine and it's relatively recent (R7 2700X, 32gb 3200 ddr4, RX 5700XT).
I don't game as often as before so my Macbook is still my daily computer because I enjoy it more. (And with the current energy crisis, for the win the 15W TDP of M1)
But guys, you need to realize something, gaming is not the only thing people does on their computer...
Really makes me wonder how many people just blame AMD, when the issue was something else entirely.
I've used AMD cards since AMD cards were a thing, lol. Never experienced all the "drive problems" people claim have been a thing. Maybe I'm just lucky.
I used a couple of Nvidia cards as well, and no problems there. Really love some of the features of both of them, and wish there were alternatives. AMD's Chill is completely underrated.
WELL ACXHUALLY,
If they hadn't upgraded nothing would have happened 🤣
Jk
What I've learned in this video:
- Don't turn off your PC randomly multiple times, especially when you don't know what it's doing
- Just because your motherboard has a bunch of slots for stuff doesn't mean it can actually handle you populating most of them at once
- If all else fails pop off that battery for a bit
- New GPU's are freaking power hogs
- Update your drivers
- Luke really doesn't care as long as it works, a man after my own heart
And Jake is comfortable using his stomach as a mouse pad

This is one thing jankiest hardware episodes I've seen. They're not even trying to install properly. It's like they're trying to sabotage AMD and make AMD look bad.
And we can see that if they're going to put the GPU lying on top of the case then there's no way they will be running these cards long term. And they are making it blatantly obvious. Not even trying.
And this is the same person who a few days ago put out a labs video trying to say how they're going to be professional in their labs.
Methodical? No.
Between 3 of them they can't install 3 GPUs properly.
LTT used to be fun and capable. But it's starting to look very tabloidy and dumb.

Despite how many people say they want it the actual videos didn't perform well enough for the amount of effort/cost, this is an unfortunate side effect of their success. In addition to the cost and profit of the individual videos they also have to consider how each video will effect the rest, the algorithms are heartless beast.

Luke's also way over booked right now as he's managing both Floatplane and acting as chief technology officer (CTO) for LMG.
Love how Jake drilled new holes in his bracket to raise the reservoir when he could have just... turned the bracket 180 degrees and used the original holes
Exactly what I was thinking. Now I wasn't there so I can't say for sure that would have worked. It could be that it would have resulted in a either to low or to high situation as there were a limit to how high the reservoir could be installed. Now it ended up just about as high as it could be installed as it was just touching the loop at the top. And there weren't a ton of space between the res and the GPU.
Still I'd like to think that he did test that before he started drilling...
Came here to say this 😂
I knew someone else would notice it. Not disappointed :)

@Fredhash amd is quite poorly optimized in a lot of games because they tend to favor Nvidia. Theres times where my 7900xtx will struggle to match my friends with Nvidia cards simply because of drivers.
My PC is the best out of all my friends but depending on the game my friends with nvidia will beat me out usually only in terms of stability. Very rarely do they beat my performance unless it's ray tracing which amd still sucks at. Also VR support on amd card is garbage from 6000 series up. Quest link will say your system isn't able to run min specs because there is no official support for the 7000 series at all
I've been on team red from the 5700xt. If it wasn't for the prices being better I would've gone back to team green

Yup, Luke's the one with rocks in his PC. And yeah, I actually burst out laughing when the camera panned up to the GPU, and it turned into a cackle with the PSU reveal. Absolute delicious jank.
The last time I had an AMD card was the FX8320 back when I was in highschool. I recently decided it was time to upgrade and settled on the Gigabyte 3080 TI OC. Well after having to RMA not one, but two of them, I decided to put my foot down, and saw the 6950 XT was outperforming the 3080 Ti and switched to AMD. Zero issues, loving this AMD card.
It's incredible how changing a graphics card for LTT is always way more complicated than it should be.
Not far off from my experience. Came from a 1660 to this and I had to play with power tools cause I didn’t want to buy a case 🤣

I got a 6800XT late last year and it’s been excellent. Upgraded from a 6600XT that I got a few months prior which replaced my RX580. It’s been a huge improvement every step and I don’t see myself switching off of AMD any time soon

It is sure as hell entertaining watching them overcome all these insane bottle necks (sometimes literally) just to upgrade a GPU lol
The problem is not the cases being small, it's gigabyte putting a 550W cooler on a 350w GPU

Yeah I was gonna say, my last driver update on my RX580 made my processor run 15% at idle, so if he expects bug free drivers from AMD he might be setting unrealistic expectations. I went like 3 days without being able to run a single tab of chrome smoothly. Granted it was fixed, but yeah, for three days my computer was frustratingly slow, and I thought it might be a failing component until the driver was patched and I did the match about when it started to slow down. Overall it's probably better, but also, it's computers, nothing is perfect.
Nice! Also, if you keep the AMD GPU, you can do another Linux Challenge. Lots has happened with Linux in the past year and AMD is ALOT more stable and usable + more features then the crappy nVidia driver on Linux.
Yep. Would be pretty cool. I daily drive Linux and switching to an AMD card and their open source drivers felt like a breath of fresh air!

F3 is a very common error to see when swapping hardware on a machine and all that should be needed is to use the CMOS reset button. It's usuually because the the i/o cache still has the swapped device but it's detecting a new device in its place and the BIOS won't boot because of it.
I'll try to remember this for future reference. Placing in vault.
@m_train1 that’s a new one for me, that’s a pretty cool tip, obvious really when you think about it, which obviously I didn’t, but I love learning new things so thank you 👍
Caches across reboots and power offs?
Isn't it plain easier to turn off fast boot options so hardware detect is done properly.
I've been rebuilding and just shutting down via "Reset this PC" and picking UEFI options or power off avoids losing the configuration.
if you use 2 power supply's you must run a jumper between earth pins on both supplies to standardize GND across both suppiles. Likely a different in potential to ground was causing unexcepted under voltage across the load of both supplies.

It's kind of fun solving problems. I made a crude suction device once to catch metal shavings while dremeling inside a server case. That was not fun.
Best is when you start removing things, issue not rectified, then go back to the way it was and all is suddenly fine. 25 years of dealing with computers and I still don't understand them.
@@Tomazack yeah, just rebuild everything exactly the same way and boom, problem is gone
Almost a month ago, I'm really curious how your AMD GPU endeavor is going so far!
7:40 The conflicting solutions of Jake and Luke fixing the same problem is hilarious 😂
The pure enjoyment and gigling from Jake when Linus realize he has to use the riser is hilarious. Then the look on Linus's face when he's being hit with boxes. It looks like he's thinking "why me, why did we adopt this adult child". 🤣
I've pretty much had all these issues before at some point when "just trying to install a new PCI-e card" on a PC, so it's satisfying to see someone else having to go through the lovely experience of hours of troubleshooting just to get the PC back into order.
Had to spend 2 hours troubleshooting what ended up being a bad psu when I first got my 3070, also had my old 970 nearly destroyed a PCI-e slot, nothing can ever go wrong in tech land 😂
I had a similar USB cutout issue that was resolved by updating chipset drivers. It's a good reminder to update *everything* when you change your build.
I have the same issue on my laptop and occurs when I'm connected to Bluetooth headset, and mouse USB receiver is connected .
+1 for chipsrt drivers. Whenever you upgrade,or even annually, it's worth trying to update everything you possibly can. Only thing you can maybe skip is your BIOS, provided it's already working and there aren't new features you want, everything else is worth an update
I did update to latest chipset drivers but still no change, it problem goes away if I disconnect my Bluetooth headset, Apparently I read its due to the wireless Bluetooth interference with usb3, and it's long known to happen

@@zeus-tt4gp I mean last generations cards were tit for tat with nvidia 30 series in rasterization performance, and it’s pretty close this generation as well. None of the problems Linus ran into were from the card or amd drivers so quality isn’t an issue here either. The only thing nvidia has big over them is ray tracing.
Love this kind of thing. "The computer isn't working and I don't know why". So frustrating, but you come up with theories, test those theories, and it works or it doesn't. Then, new theories, then, etc.
I think when it comes to tech videos, it's just as important to see what doesn't work as what does. The approach that didn't work for the host may be one that does work for you, and you wouldn't have thought to try it without seeing them try first.
It's a fun and sobering experience. I had late nights of trying to figure out what's going on with my shit along with my friends over beer and when we did it was the biggest shot of dopamine I've had that month.
Welp that's troubleshooting in a nutshell. Keep chipping away at the potential problems until something sticks.
That's called Troubleshooting

When they got into linus issues i sat here and said "Dude clear the cmos" lol. Nice to know every tech person suffers through the same stuff now and again. Love you guys, your so fun to watch when your all together on these projects. I remember a time when my boss bought a new gaming PC and the USB didn't work on it, I ran some tests and all I found out of place was the new hard drive needed defragged badly. I defragged it and the USB started working, got to love PC issues lol. New GPU sizes makes it feel like when you get a new card you have to figure out how to put a watermelon inside of a cantaloupe.
I love it when I figure out the problem. The progress of figuring it out is always painful. Like torture that you learn to appreciate.

I think his name is Jake?
@@radugrigoras I'm pretty sure they mean Luke's solution with 2 PSUs and a ridiculous riser cable because his reservoir was in the way at 7:42
So, the follow up? This was two months ago....
Luke's approach to (not)mounting the card was just brilliant
I was green team for years, then had an RX580 and absolutely loved it. It was crazy how long it lasted doing solid framerates, and AMDs support for it never stopped. Back with Nvidia for now but likely to go Red again next card.
Some of AMDs features are really nice quality of life things I miss now. I used to use Radeon Chill constantly, and the Freesync + Enhanced Sync combo was buttery smooth and really nice for virtually every game. I even used that sometimes while I was playing semipro esports because I'd forget to turn it off, and despite being sensitive to latency it was basically imperceptible difference compared to Enhanced Sync off. I think AMD testing put the difference at sub 1ms which I can believe.
I went back to green with a 3060ti when it came out and I like it but don't love it. I was really looking at trying out some raytracing and expecting DLSS to be imminent future, but raytracing is still ridiculously demanding most of the time compared to the benefits it offers in most games, and DLSS is still too niche. So for the present I'd take the AMD feature set I'd actually use regularly over the Nvidia advantages. FSR is increasingly decent anyway, and I miss my Freesync + Enhanced Sync that smoothed out a lot of titles more than I'm achieving with my 3060ti regardless of settings.
Next card will be Red again unless DLSS finally becomes standard, and even then I play so many old games and esports titles that features based on new games probably isn't worth it for my use. Also from my relatively short time paying attention to the Red Team it does feel like they put more effort into user experience and value for customers.
Realistically, with FSR being open source and easier to implement, that will probably become the standard. Most games that support one, support the other as well at this point in time
@@EddoWagt that is an excellent point. It's improved faster than I'd expected given how much of a headstart DLSS had
I was traded a 580 4 gb and put it in an at home work PC (Ryzen 5 5600, 16 gb 3600 RAM). Surprised how well it works. I haven't done anything super demanding on it, though I did run a benchmark of Shadow of the Tomb raider. Pleasantly surprised by it. My main gpu is a RTX 2060 but the if the older 580 is any indication, I suspect the new amd GPU's are worth checking out.
FSR is trash though. It’s not something to look forward to using
@@kingjon5818 FSR 2.0 is okay, I did call it "increasingly decent" and it's just going to improve. Early DLSS was ultra janky too. And again more importantly for my use case as someone who spends most of my playtime on esports titles and older games, I lean towards 1080p high refresh rate and image reconstruction is seldom if ever a factor. Although I see Overwatch 2 has FSR but is almost always going to be used to a minimal degree and looks largely indistinguishable from pure native res because of it.
Linus has a thing to always get the most temperamental hardware to home
People who know tech have the weirdest tech issues because they know enough to be dangerous with their tech, but there’s too much to be an general expert on most of it.
His setup is so personalized with the most niche hardware requirements and janky configurations. Like his home, all this complexity makes something that SHOULD be easy so much more difficult to troubleshoot.
That's what you get when you use such a niche non-tested combination of top of the line new hardware like Linus personal setup.
My line is "don't go to cheap to be the bottom 1% user and don't go to expensive to be the top 1% user" since both will lead you to chaos
Awaiting results of the AMD challenge. Hasn’t it been a month already?
still waiting.... haha. will actually be my decision making to go AMD or NVIDIA GPU wise
@@MenOfWarCSS we are waiting in the same boat man, curious of their feedback
What do you expect here really? AMD cards work just as well as Nvidia cards. It only comes down to whether you need to use ray tracing in games. But for that there are benchmark graphs already.
This is why Asus at least has a warning to update your chipset drivers with a bios update and I generally am always checking to see if there’s been an ME update through them. Glad I did it when I updated 10 revisions worth of bios last week 😅
What’s the problem? I’m building a pc with an RTX 4090 and 3 Gen4 drives. Will I have this issue?
Wel, at least you caught it in time. 😉
@@_alucid_ Linus was having issues with his mouse and keyboard connection through his KVM(I think it was through it anyways) and it turned out to be the chipset drivers. For Intel that would be Intel ME but I’m not sure what AMDs equivalent is 👍
I upgraded from a RX590 to a 3060ti a couple months ago, and I can say I'm happy with the performance and all, I just miss the software. Having all in one app was great and now I appreciate AMD even more for that
I switched from 1050ti 4gb to rx 580 8gb, the first thing I noticed is that the software is actually usefull and easy to use.
@@takomusic1 Yeah, It took me awhile to get used to NVIDIA control panel
@@takomusic1 Right click, AMD software. All the tabs are super intuitive. Getting to my fan curves is simple, setting up profiles for different games is simple, and overclocking and boosting performance is simple.
I really like my 580 and I'm scared for when it comes time to upgrade. It's treated me really well for a long time now. I don't think I'd consider Nvidia with all the bugs and performance issues. That's not to say every software update has been peachy... a recent driver update on the 580 had my R5 3600 running at 15% at idle. Two days later it was fixed, but for like two days my computer struggled to open a chrome tab and I was sweating my ass off thinking something was failing. OTHER THAN THAT, peaches.
@@MarwinEwert Nvidia control panel works fine, i dont know how easy to use AMD's equivalent is though.
However this is important, i urge anyone to AVOID Geforce experience and get the drivers on your own of Nvidias website.
Used Geforce Experience for years on 2 pc's, especially on my previous desktop with a 1070 and i ended up getting BSOD's after just a year or so, random BSOD, it was horrible.
Uninstalled the drivers and Ge Experience then got the drivers off the website, and all was fine. :)
its just a nasty program, you got no idea what driver youre actually installing.
@@Erikcleric that's the problem "works fine" is what makes NVIDIA not update this awful thing. AMD has one app for everything, with a decent UI (not a win XP like), where you can set everything up, monitors, graphics, performance, live streaming, recordings, fan curves, GPU overclock.... The list goes on. It's one app that can do ANYTHING you need, NVIDIA needs to update their stuff, at this point it's just outdated and not efficient
I think it's crazy how fast we're moving with computers. Just in the past half decade we've came a very very long way. My system was a rather mid range build in 2017, a mid range system these days is more than I would ever need to play some games. Money really does talk.
I just went from a 1060 6gb to a 3060 and very much noticed this
tbf Moore's Law was at full throttle for awhile, but now with that slowing down, there actually needs to be some engineering ingenuity apart from "PACK MORE SMALLER TRANSISTORS." Even with the RTX40 series, the form factor is getting beyond consumer levels for a consumer level product. I'd say the next few years should reveal how the trend will change, but I think many expect it to slow down, myself included.
Video cards have been focusing on 4k for years and im still on 1080p, so any new card is a huge upgrade and i will be able to play mostly everything on ultra quality.
Just bought an used 2060super and im anxious to see how better it will be over my rx580 :D

@@miso1995srb putting everything together is fine, I agree, it is like legos.

All things I have seen happen on different shows. All things I couldn’t possibly begin to diagnose without a wearhouse and enough spare time that tech would basically be my job.
Lukes attempt is how we're going to see eGPU solutions come out for future generations. I'd love to see a full GPU in a similar formfactor to a NUC that you just rest ontop of your rig, plug in 120v power and an x16 riser to your rig. Will be nice to stack ontop of mITX rigs and/or keep heat seprate from other components!
I actually did this when I got a 3090 a couple months back. Only had a 650w psu, but I had an old 500w laying around, so...the 500w powered JUST the gpu lol

8:10 how do you do multiple power supplies and have them both turn on when the PC turns on?
The last time I had an AMD graphics was back when it was ATI which was on a "gaming" laptop back when I was right out of basic training in 2008. That little computer handled games way better than I expected and it served me well for a few years till I got into Nvidia-powered laptops in college. Recently, I decided to pick up a 7900 XTX and jump ship again and see how it fairs.
How has your XTX been holding up? I’m thinking of getting one myself. Is the power draw really that bad? Also, thank you for your service!
@@tdm17mn So, I did end up downgrading to a 7800XT as the power draw was too much for my SFF PSU. Granted, I had the one that comes with the NZXT H1v2. It would cause shutters and would occasionally shut the computer off or restart it. The PSU fan would also scream after gaming. With the 7800XT, it's been a non-issue. Now if you have a ATX set up, it shouldn't be an issue.
I switched to AMD a few years ago after i had 2 different GTX 1070's die on me after just a few months so i bought a Vega 56 which worked perfectly for gaming in 1440P 144Hz and i eventually gave it to my nephew after upgrading to the 5700XT which also worked perfectly and now i'm using an RX 6800 which also hasn't given me a single issue so far. I also like that AMD usually has much better price to performance and that their cards just work out of the box on Linux without having to install any propriety drivers.
Linux support is my reason for going team red as well. Linux gaming still isn't perfect, but I haven't felt the need to even have a windows partition or VM for several years now.
Yeah, I recently installed Debian Linux on an all AMD system and the out of the box experience is a dream - the whole thing just works
Also went from a 5700xt to a 6800. Cant say I have any regrets all working fine.

Linus, I'm going to lean on the 19 years of ITSM Service Desk experience when I ask you this very important question: "Have you tried shutting off the device and turning it back on again?"
🤣🤣 a classic
It's... ridiculous how many problems just vanish that way.
@@benjaminoechsli1941 Over 19 years of working IT Service Desk, from PC's and printers to servers and mainframes, Power cycling fixes SO MANY ISSUES! (Just not THIS one.)
I want to say this for the sponsor I had a EVGA 1,300 watt platinum power supply and after a couple months it started shooting sparks ( thankfully the rest of the system was fine). Took the computer into microcenter and replaced it with a seasonic 1300 platinum and it has been great ever since.
sorry when is neet PSU over 1000W? for professional work mate? cheers thx in advance
@@bibi24 I have a high end rig 3080 ti oc, a AMD 5800x oc with a 360 water cool. I wanted something that would last and meet all the power needs and then some
@@basilrothstein3523 I run a 3090 and 5950x and water pump with a 1000w PSU and that is plenty.
@@basilrothstein3523 I've had a 6900 XT SE, a 5900x OC'd, 4x8GB CL14-3600's and a 420 Rad (3x140 mm) and 6x140mm 2200 RPM (WPM) fans on a SeaSonic 750W Platinum. Ran fine, 1300w is total overkill.
That’s scary, I have an EVGA SuperNova 1300w, 80+ gold rate I got from Amazon and haven’t had anything bad happen, yet.
13:09 bro realy using his stomach as a mouse pad🤣
I could say I'm appalled by Luke's "solution", but honestly I should have expected it.
With that AMD GPU, you are set for a good start to try the Linux challenge again! 😎🐧😎
Do it! Do it! Do it! I wanna see the struggle again :D and failing that I wanna see if they actually have a better experience.
I made the same comment lol.
Not on the mainstream Ubuntu-based distros. Radeon 7000 series is supported only on kernel 6.0 and above.
I love my custom loop, but man, upgrading one part often involves dismantling the entire thing. Glad it's not just me😅
