Those red envelopes are usually given out during chinese new year with cash inside in order to bring good luck and prosperity in the new year. The red colour is also said to ward off evil spirits
I’m black and work in Chinatown Boston. I can confirm, Chinese New Year is my favorite holiday🎉. Imagine people given you money because it give them goodluck.
Came here looking for this, was not disappointed. I miss my old Chinese boss, him and his family would all bring me evelopes with between 50 - 500 bucks. And because it was a gift, it was tax free.
4:50 If I'm not mistaken, those envelopes represent Chinese traditional 'ang pow' (translation: 'red packet') which people use to gift money during new year's celebrations or other special events.
those red envelopes as what you called it @4:54 are called red packets/hong pau ,they are used to gift money on special occasions such as weddings,and birthdays and chinese new year (more info on google though).
My nephew used to do the one sock thing... when he was 4. Weird thing is he'd have one shoe off and one sock off, but on opposite feet. So he'd take off his shoes, take off one sock, then put a shoe back on the bare foot. It usually happened as he was watching Power Rangers, and his brain would just shut off.
9:31 most of the sag comes from the IO bracket not being completely secured (usually secured with 4 screws near the display out ports) but this card has an additional two screws just below the display outs which supports the card more. JTC did a video on this a while ago when the 3000 series launched and I believe EVGA was the first one to secure the bracket to the shroud so that the gpu wouldn't sag. Just my two cents on the topic.
Honestly if you break it down for the cost of the extras, the price equals out. You get two screens, an anti-sag bracket, mouse pad, and custom backplate. I would say $250 is a reasonable cost for all those items.
You could buy those on your own for less than half of that though...It is a beautiful card, but it makes no sense to pay that much for it when you could get a 4080 super for the same price...I think something like this makes more sense for a 4080/4090....
Those red envelopes are called "ang pau" or "hongbao". You put money inside it and give it to ppl during Christmas and New Year in the Philippines and during the Chinese New Year in the Philippines and China.
So pretty, but just the card and the screens would’ve been worth it. Everything else should’ve been an option. The actual little screen should also be sold separately too. Maybe just a basic black version, because it could actually come in handy.
I like how theres so much variety in the presentation and extras in gpu boxes. You have this, super premium, tons of accessories, an experience. And on the other side companies like sapphire where its just a brown box, anti static bag and the gpu, thats it. They know you bought sapphire cus they make msrp cards and you buy them cus of the price.
What is that little adapter thing on your gpu? Cablemods 12vhpwr connector adapters got recalled so is that another brand that makes a solid reliable product?
Hey Greg, love your videos. The sag you mentioned doesn't happen immediately. It happens over time. During the heat, cool, heat, cool cycles, it begins to sag putting immense strain near the pcie slot which can potentially rip the pads under the ram ic or even the gpu die leading to black screen issues. For more beefy cards, the card itself cracks damaging the internal layers of the pcb. In this case, a repair to restore isn't economically viable.
@wojtek-33 you need to remember that the human eye is not capable to detecting mm of sag. But I agree that beefy cards such as 4090 can be slightly observed to sag to a trained eye. If everyone were able to notice it, no sane person would leave it that way and then send it over to a repair shop (maybe they exist too!! Crazy people out there 🤣🤣).
It depends on the rear I/O shield of the gpu, most I/O shields have too much flex in them and aren't directly screwed into anchor points on the gpu shroud/heatsink
@SkateClipsAndTips not really. Regardless of the rear io shield, the flex is due to the weight distribution in the card. Most of the card weight is on the pcie port on the motherboard itself (that's why they are made real thick). Plus, newer gpu have the heatsink overhanging on the left side (where the power cables plug in). This is what cause the sag. The sag on the left side is more noticeable compared to the right side. Check it out. Plus, given the damage it cause on card itself(either ram module or apu), this explanation is only justification. Especially for the cards with cracks.
A lot of people have already mentioned that the red packets are called ang pao, but a neat play on words is that the Chinese word for dragon is loong, hence the card having 'super long' in the name xD
Sometimes the white cards go crazy with the white everything. I have a Power Color 6700XT Hellhound Spectral White Edition and they even used a white PCB!
I got my 4070 ti super 16gb a couple of weeks ago - white Zotac - which didn't have any of the accessories or features of the one you're demonstrating. No overclocking bios pushbutton, and no amazing desk mat! That mat makes for one cool accessory! Oh well, I got mine for ~ $830 US. I would imagine the one you have was in the $1200 to $1500 range or more. I must say that I am pleased with the performance of the 4070 ti super, and in my system has no problem playing all of my games at ultra everything! A huge step up from the 3070 I bought about a year ago for roughly the same price.
my first ever colorful gpu was a gtx 1650 wayback 2018 or 2019 it was prebuilt almost sll copoments was colorful. Gave it to my sister after getting a laptop for work. Still alive today. They also repkied to my emakl when asking for support for the mobo bios. Even message their seller in Aliexpress and just gave me colorful email support.
got my hands on the maxsun icraft z690 mobo for 114 brand new in box. just amazing lookin. came with a board to mount you mobo to and use as a test bench before installing in your build. Plus the tools included are a super sweet touch. NOt really seen in american boxes
I tend to like smaller computers and tighter builds. In this instance taking something so premium and placing it in a tighter build hides some of the extra embellishments that make the card stand out.
I could only imagine what would happen if sli was still around. Dual 4090ti super sli would be a mouth full and ridiculous. Power consumption would be insane
Seems like a pretty good price for that video card. The closet card to that here in New Zealand is the ASUS ROG STRIX NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER OC WHITE 16GB and that will cost $2599.00 NZD or $1582 USD which makes it a bit of a bargain from my standpoint.
Fantastic card from a good company that should sell more cards in America if it were allowed. They have been around for well over a decade from memory and have always had some "different" designs that appeal to different people and markets. I'd have one in a heart beat if they were available in Australia for a reasonable price.
This card is gorgeous and the entire unboxing experience is insane. I still don't think I'd buy this specific card over a 4080. But if it had a theme i wanted to build a PC around that was one of my hobbies, then i could probably swallow the price tag.
I guess if you want the small little benefits of this limited edition, its worth it. And finding a stock component that fits the aesthetics of your current build is actually hard to find usually. But overall it looks dope and beautifully fits your white build you put it in. Lisa should approve 🤞
It's going to be a hard thing to deal with when my MSI RTX 3060 ti craps out. I'm hopeful that's not for several more years. But when that happens, it's nice to know that a card of this caliber will not be in the cards for me to buy, so I don't even have to worry about it. Thanks for the review. The new studio looks fantastic!
I had MSI Dragon stickers because my rig's parts are from MSI before the Year of the Dragon. I will not be removing them when the Year of the Dragon is over... :p I will be amazed if MSI's marketing department does not take advantage of the its logo matching the year.
NVidia's naming convention is really simple, they just never explained it simply. Ti means .5 step. SUPER means mid-generation rebin/refresh. 4070 Ti SUPER is a step between the 4070 and 4080 which has been slightly up-binned in a mid-generation refresh.
It might need (the stand) in time. My current GPU didn't, but after a year of use it does need it now (I 3D printed one, no biggy). Man is that a beautiful card - nice job Colorful!
Bro, I am right there with you. Somebody walking around with only one sock on is like... Oddly uncomfortable to the point I will actually say 'what are you doing?'. I don't know why it is uncomfortable and weird, but it is! And you should be ashamed!
I probably don't understand all this fancy signs, LED displays, RGB thing. Wish companies would just make minimalistic industrial looking stuff, XFX is kinda doing that and EVGA did too.
My ASUS 4070ti Super doesn't seem to sag. I purchased a support for it anyway, time & gravity should be considered. The support was inexpensive, the card and motherboard was not.The Chinese card looked great.
Bought a 7900XT and it died in about 9 days. Went back to microcenter yesterday and walked out with a 4070TIS Aero and am very happy with it. This card is super cool, but would probably pass because of the mark up
Probably because the prices are so out there and availability is so not there, why even bother looking when you know you can't afford it or if you can still won't find it.
Yeah, that GPU is nuts. So much money spent on things that don't contribute to performance. But if how your PC looks is more important to you than how it performs, then it is perfect. IDC if I can afford to waste money like that, I'm still going to be building like I always have - prioritizing performance. Maybe as an ambivert, I just don't get the showing off. IDC what people think about my PC or my car. I wouldn't spend money to repaint my house just to change the color.

You're correct, I was just about to comment on this myself.

You know they're balling if they give you Envelope from companies 🤣

MISSING SOCK IS CRAZY XD

My boy is uncultured
I don't know why more PC components don't embrace the white theme. There's CLEARLY demand for it.
He didn't lose a sock, he found one!
Us Americans over here scoffing at other countries when we are just getting the bare minimum lol
My nephew used to do the one sock thing... when he was 4. Weird thing is he'd have one shoe off and one sock off, but on opposite feet. So he'd take off his shoes, take off one sock, then put a shoe back on the bare foot. It usually happened as he was watching Power Rangers, and his brain would just shut off.
What a stylish card and it looks really good in that black and white build
Agreed, the black and white aesthetic is so nice
9:31 most of the sag comes from the IO bracket not being completely secured (usually secured with 4 screws near the display out ports) but this card has an additional two screws just below the display outs which supports the card more.

I see what you did there 🤣
Greg buying a new house from scratch, then there’s his cameraman that walked to work losing both shoes and a sock on the way
Time to unionize.
Honestly didn't know he had a cameraman.
Honestly if you break it down for the cost of the extras, the price equals out. You get two screens, an anti-sag bracket, mouse pad, and custom backplate. I would say $250 is a reasonable cost for all those items.
250 markup is not that bad when you consider you get the Desk mat ant the two extra screens with it.
You could buy those on your own for less than half of that though...It is a beautiful card, but it makes no sense to pay that much for it when you could get a 4080 super for the same price...I think something like this makes more sense for a 4080/4090....
Also, with the red envelopes and other stuff, it is meant to be a gift, so that markup is justified for being unique and thoughtful.
I am pretty sure those are gift envelopes for giving money on Chinese New Year.
Those red envelopes are called "ang pau" or "hongbao". You put money inside it and give it to ppl during Christmas and New Year in the Philippines and during the Chinese New Year in the Philippines and China.
Nice, I didn't even get a case-badge when I bought my Rog Strix card for too much money.... It's the little things in life really.
So pretty, but just the card and the screens would’ve been worth it. Everything else should’ve been an option.
The actual little screen should also be sold separately too. Maybe just a basic black version, because it could actually come in handy.
Dragon lover: Heavy Breathing... I don't need it... I don't need it.... I NEED IT!!!! 😍
The missing sock is funny AF. Love the white video card.
I like how theres so much variety in the presentation and extras in gpu boxes. You have this, super premium, tons of accessories, an experience. And on the other side companies like sapphire where its just a brown box, anti static bag and the gpu, thats it. They know you bought sapphire cus they make msrp cards and you buy them cus of the price.
Just an observation If this card is so extraordinary - wouldn't it be a candiare for " Collecting " for the future?
They are.
now this is a card what all cards should look like and with al the litle stuff you get with it
I sure wish that big box games would make a comeback, I so miss pre-order games that came with a t-shirt, book, action figure, etc.

I love the white theme of the card, my card is the only thing not white in my rig 😢
damn it's so much pricier in the US! here in malaysia, most stores i see sells it for about RM1700~RM2500 which is about 360$~530$ in USD
A lot of people have already mentioned that the red packets are called ang pao, but a neat play on words is that the Chinese word for dragon is loong, hence the card having 'super long' in the name xD
Very nice cards and the accessories are pretty cool. Imagine if the Chinese red envelopes had money in them.
First 10 seconds watching the video IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE AMAZING LIGHTING, WELL DONE
Really appreciate that! Still a work in progress (particularly with white balancing), but we're getting there!

its from china, came shrink wrapped too.@@brucepreston3927

This card would pair nicely with a white msi board, going with a full dragon theme.
Looking forward to the next video :D
Or the Colorful IGame Z790D5 Loong Edition V20 motherboard
@@macking104Makes sense! lll
The way this card is packaged looks more like a gift, which I like instead of the regular doo doo.
I think the "gold" coin and envelopes are probably specific chinese things. They give eachother, and friends money in those envelopes for example.
it says the year of dragon limited edition(龍年限定)
Question is, is that better than my Asus OC 3080Ti STRIX AiO
Yes
When I first saw the red packets I legitimately thought it was a pack of GPU condoms.
That has to be one of the most orgasmic gpu's I've seen. Good job Colorfull.
I tend to like smaller computers and tighter builds. In this instance taking something so premium and placing it in a tighter build hides some of the extra embellishments that make the card stand out.
Loong is a famous Chinese dragon. Long is length. Loong, pronounced "loo-ung"
My home town has a famous Chinese imperial dragon, Sun Loong.
I could only imagine what would happen if sli was still around. Dual 4090ti super sli would be a mouth full and ridiculous. Power consumption would be insane
Makes your purchase feel like you made a quality choice. Love that card, should be side mounted to see that beautiful graphic.

I`m all in for the mouse pad
Of course it's the price it is. The heatsinks are made from unobtainium.
That desk pad would be on the wall in my studio.
I swear all my dryer does is eat one side of every pair of socks i have. Now I just wear mismatched socks everywhere. Oh and that card is fire.

The envelopes are called ang pao here in philippines, they're used to put gift money to give to god-children on chinese new year's or in celebrations
I've never known anybody to put a potted plant atop their PC.....
I think I peed a little at the sight of that desk-mat.
I want one so badly now.
I think that screen would have looked good sitting under the graphics card inside the case
The extra price point of all those goodies you get in addition to the card probrobly costs more than the graphics card I currently have so...
My Powercolor RX 7900 XT Red Devil chuckled. What a cute little card ya got there!
official, meaning your new "man cave' in your new house Greg.
gotta pay for aestetics , custom mouse pad, backplate, white heat sinks, screens. is it worth it? probably not, but not an "insane" markup.
The most interesting 4070ti super is the inno3d twin fan model. The smallest new 4k capable gpu
