Excellent video, a fairly new subscriber here and I'm loving the content, im also a fan of pushing old hardware as I'm a bit of a skinflint, the current pc I'm tinkering with was free from work and is a Lenovo M720s. I5 6 CORE, 8gb ddr4 and a 256gb ssd. With it being low profile it has the front panel and lid taken off to fit a 4gb Radeon 550 pulse graphics card. I'm quite surprised what i can get it run at 60fps but my monitor which was also free runs at 1600/900. All fun anyway and you should give Digital foundry a shoutout as it was on the weekly show that Richard leadbetter mentioned your channel. Many thanks, Chris Nearly forgot to mention, I've got that Msi graphics card in a shoebox in garage lol.
You got quite lucky there as the Gaming X is one of the better coolers, MSI even use the same one for the 1080ti. And it's nice to see you out and about, you buy so much stuff from CEX you might as well ask them if you can film there because you do a great job promoting their shops. It would be nice to have a budget building series where you go into a CEX store and try to build a PC using the parts you can get.
Here's a weird question I would love to ask (if OK,) is why are graphics card drivers specfic? For example could you use a 4090 drive on a 3070? Or a GTX 1080 driver on an GTX 1060? I understand about cross company (I.e not running a GTX card driver on and AMD card,) but same company drivers? Is that really necessary? PS. I am guessing SLAW is Coleslaw? Tesco do some really nice seasonal sandwiche meal deals, too. Not a fan of Squares, myself, I prefer Monster Much or Quavers. But the innocent smoothie looks real nice. Though, again, I prefer chocolate milk. Anway, great haul, Steve.
I know I have the 1070ti, however starfield is running fine for me at native 1080p (switch off upscalling) with a mix of low, some medium and odd high settings, getting 40-60fps. So all on low plus upscaling the 1070 should be playable with starfield.
G'day Random, I love my RX580Gaming+ & GTX1080Ti GamingX with this cooler, it works really well & is Super Quiet even on 30°C-40°C days. My RX580 Boosts to 1421MHz & will sit there all day no problem, my 1080Ti while MSI claim 1657MHz actually Self Boosts to 1974MHz without an OC & will easily top 2000MHz with an OC. Ps Although I have never thought to use them for PC parts & not sure how they compare price wise, we have had CEX down here in Australia for 11yrs now. They started in New South Wales expanding to Queensland + Australian Capital Territory with almost 30 stores.
My attempts at buying 2x HD7970GHz editions and a second GTX 970 from my nearest CEX. The blower cooler 7970 was lifeless, and the GTX 970 was barely functioning (read: the computer at least posted) as something had been spilled on the back and there was a lot of corrosion around the swollen+cracked capacitors behind the GPU (no backplate so very easy to see at more than a glance).
yo, just to mention something, i got a 980ti from them some years ago and asked about removing the sticker to apply new thermal paste, I was told to contact theyre warranty team, after doing so, I was told if there i tamper with a pre-existing warranty sticker then that would void the CEX warranty.
I live in Dublin but cex is all over Ireland im hooked on buying gpus and cpus i buy some every week shame they dont do 2nd hand motherboards but can get really lucky with pre builds...Awesome video
I’m not certain how to contact you, but I might have some PC parts that you might interested in. I’ve got a Radeon 5870 hd graphics card, an intel i7 970, 36 gb of ddr3 ram, and the motherboard it came with, which I’ll have to check over and such. I’d only want you to cover the cost of shipping from where I am in the U.S.
I’ve never been demonetised for saying CEX tbf. Out of interest, did you ever ask them if they were interested in sponsoring or collaborating on a video?
Brought a GTX 1650 from CEX not long ago, ended getting a OC ASUS variant of the card: increasing performance quite a decent amount for no extra cost. If you set your expectation to get the worst variant of the GPU: you will either not be disappointed or be quite happy.
CEX is pronounced exactly how you said it in the video. No matter how there advertisement says it...there is no way you will get me saying ' I bought so and so from sex'. Ive always called it see-e-x

I bought a GTX 2GB 750Ti from CEX for £40, and I was expecting one with an external power connector, I ended up getting a MSI Twin Frozr Gaming OC one which didn't require external power, and I ended up using it in a HP Compaq 8200 that I had lying around and then bought a i7-2600 from CEX for £18 and then went to my local CEX one day to find 4 sticks of matching 4GB DDR3 G.Skill RipJaws X PC3-12800 for a total of £12
@@zafinet1169 Oh, did it? My bad. Thinking about it, I was getting that info from the Nvidia website, which wouldn't have included ones that were overclocked with extra fans produced by others.
As someone with a 1070 Strix, I'm looking forward to more 1070 videos, perhaps some comparisons to newer cards when it comes to considering what to upgrade to considering it's pretty safe to say that the 10 series is pretty much at the end of it's lifespan looking at minimum/recomended specs for new AAA games such as Starfield and Alan Wake 2 for more recent examples with Starfield having the 1070 Ti as minimum so the non ti 1070 would fail to meet minimum and same with Alan Wake 2 with a RTX 2060 being the minimum for 1080p 30 fps on the low preset and the 2060 would be at least a slight bump up from the 1070 for performance. When it comes to what to upgrade to I was advised to target a 2080 Ti, 3060 Ti, 3070 or 6700 XT/6750 XT to upgrade from my 1070 for like $300 to $350 CAD (Roughly 178 to 208 GBP according to google currency conversion.)
Yesterday was my last time with my 1070 after 6-7 years and I can say that it was a pleasure but it had to end. I decided to not go kamikaze on the budget and give AMD a chance and I don't regret it. So I bought a RX 5700 XT for 120$ and sold the 1070 for the same amount. Imagine that it gave me the 2X performance on literally all games and on 1440p. I did some research and found out that on the Nvidia chart is placed between rtx 3060 and 3060 ti without upscaling ( depends on the game, sometimes can be under them ). This card after 4 years after release still has some ass to kick on the second hand market as price/performance. So imagine how the performance will be if you go straight to something higher like a 2080 Ti, 3070, 6700/6750 XT. If I have to choose one I would be totally fine with either one of those but if I'm thinking about the future and the VRAM problem I can see that 8 GB VRAM wouldn't be enough soon...so at least I would raise the 300& to 400$ and start to look at RX 6800 16GB or the RTX 3080 10GB/12GB. Just to be sure that I don't need to upgrade so often in the nearest future just for 100$ difference. If you still want to stick with the 300$ then just go with the RTX 3070/3070 Ti. Your happiness will skyrocket either way limited or not by the VRAM in the most demanding games.
The fact that the 1070 can hold it's own after so many years shows how much of beast the card still is especially given how it has more than double the ram of it's predecessor.
I wish this guy wouldn't advertise CEX. They're literally thieving scum who con unsuspecting people into buying second hand goods that cost more than they cost to buy new. I had a look in there this morning. A used 64GB Steam deck - £390. They cost £309 new with a carry case on Steam (not a sale price). And I've seen that with a lot more items too.
I still have this MSI 1070 in an old i7-4700k box my son is using in his dorm. Still a great card, especially if 1080p is as high as you're going to go with your particular monitor.
I'd never heard a single person pronounce CEX how they do in the ads. Actually, until a few years ago I'd never even seen the ads pronounce it that way. It's always been just the capital letters until some edgelord in marketing decided it'd be catchy to pronounce it as sex. If I were to pronounce it not as letters I'd pronounce it kecks :P
this reminds me I need to go in there for some 8Gb ddr3 laptop memory. got a couple of cashies laptops that need a little boost. yes, I know what I'm doing, I've done this for several laptops over the years. no, not a gamer, just someone who likes their tech and getting it running sweetly, not wading through treacle. also, LOVE poundlands wireless mice (£4) trust me, I got this! 👍 love CEX. but the damned thing is, I always end up coming out of there with a dvd box set too! 🤣
yeah and he made out like a bandit getting a 1070. We have one still going strong in a kids build... but it's an inno3D one bought after a crypto crash years ago... cooler is such junk that even cleaned and with better thermal grease; had to point a fan at the back of it to stop it from throttling.
Damn ASUS really hooked it up with the ROG board and the 14900K, looks you won't be running into any CPU bottlenecks any time soon xD also today using parts that a friend gave me last year I put together a little system with a 4790 and a 1070. Watching this on it actually
This packaging is pretty good for cex standards I ordered a hard drive a few months back and it was so terribly packaged compared to the couple I bought on eBay
Been a car guy way before a PC enthusiast so I have to ask what car that is as I’m usually pretty good at guessing a car but I’m stumped this time haha
I used to work at CEX during the GPU prices skyrocketing, because it took a few weeks for prices to be readjusted, i was able to snag a 2080 that had been traded in during the midst of the chip shortage for mega cheap, granted after working there for a year i dont think i would ever buy anything again, we all had little jokes and sayings about other stores around the country and their reputation, some did their jobs of testing and making sure things were working prior REALLY well, others did an absolute horrendous job, its extremely hit or miss
I used to own this exact model of the 1070. It was very cool both in terms of temperature as well as the look. I really liked that fan design from MSI.
i just finished installing a new PSU and 6700XT to replace this same MSI 1070 a few minutes ago actually. great GPU, disappointed to retire it since I too love the design
Oh hey, my first ever modern Intel CPU lol, getting it for a pound is one hell of a deal. I hope you 1070 was a decent deal too, considering you got a GamingX model!
GTX 1070 was a good product, gamers all loved them, and bought them missive, and they never die. Half the price of that GTX 1080 Ti, 1080p max ! 2016 games !
I ordered a mini gtx 1050ti for my small pc case what came was a large gtx 1050ti that was to big for my pc - they did refund me at my my local cex but they all said - what you pay for isnt what you will always get - so be careful with GPUS . **Image for illustration purposes only, product provided may differ from pictured.
Similar packaged Sanwiches cost around 2€ here in Germany, I didn't know the UK was that expensive when it comes to food. I'd love to see you make a video about Windows 10 vs. 11. I recently worked on a friend's PC with Windows 11 and immediately hated it... it felt like one of those modded Windows 8 versions that tried to fix the mess by making it more similar to Win7.
To be fair its from Waitrose, not exactly a cheap supermarket. The general market rate is about £3.50ish for meal deals from Boots,Sainsburys,Co-op and Tesco.
He went to a company called "Waitrose", which is basically a rip off company that parts fools from their cash. They pretend that they're a premium company, but it's just the same stuff you can buy anywhere else for a lot less.
Unless you're looking at hard drives - I saw a 2TB HDD for £12 in a CEX today, but I didn't buy it because (a) I want more than 2TB, and (b) you never know what has happened to the HDD before, it might die at any time...
Already know which throwback system you're talking about. The classic Aero GTX 1070 + i5-8400 combo that you had in late 2017 to mid 2018. That would be such a throwback!
CEX is seemingly pronounced as KeX, after all, people do not wish to be overheard using foul language, for the most part. Nerds just call it the Computer Exchange. Good place to get interesting obscure tat. I picked up a 150GB WD Raptor X, the one with the Plexiglas top for peanuts. And an Nvidia XFX 7800GT for a vintage PC I built, I believe it was £12. 👌🏻
I got my 3080 from CEX after the prices sorta went back to normal, Normally I wouldn't buy a second-hand GPU due to this being so close to the mining era crash and nearly all second-hand 3080s are undoubtedly ex mining cards. However, CEX offers 2 Years in-house warranty which basically means they'll refund it if it goes wrong within that time frame. The Card I got has some coil whine but it's not as bad as my EVGA 2070 Super I got from new and warrantied..
I got the i5 4590 for free and it runs great with a GTX 1060 3gb and 16gb 1600Mhz RAM in FHD. But that PC was a built for a friend, that didn't wanted to spend any money on it.
Just from watching people get good benchmarks with old cards that are inferior to what I've got on paper but are performing better, I can say with certainty that GPUs don't matter nearly as much as people believe. Not in these modern titles, anyway. Almost half of every graphical setting is based on CPU usage. So if your CPU isn't pulling its weight, your test results are going to be atrocious even if you have an rtx 4090, a lightning fast m.2 SSD and 64 ram.
Hey man, what software do you use for the on-screen performance overlay ? I'm kinda curious now about my CPU vs GPU performance with a 10700k and a 3080ti might be a bit of a discrepancy
Mate, that is a shocking meal deal. You seriously need to up your game. Been subbed a long time man, you would've lost me if it wasn't for the squares jk lol. Also, £5 for a meal deal? It's £3.40 at Tesco.
Came for the GPU reveal, hooked by the potential of a GDK review, got a Waitrose meal deal review instead. What a roller coaster of emotion, and a superb video mate - keep it up!
My first build, I planned and built for my son had a i5-8600k, 16gb Ram, and 1070 FE, it ran great, was used and cheap, that build has gone through some major upgrades since then, now on 12th gen i5-12600k, and a RTX 3080 :) nice vid, always nice to see older hardware still kicking :)
the warranty is awesome. i just got a ps4 vr for 40 quid, and the fact its under two year warranty secondhand is worth the slight overpayment. i also love getting my PS1 and PS2 games from there because they are always in good nick. i got vagrant story and its in perfect condition. everyones dead nice there too. love it.

It's always been just the capital letters until some edgelord in marketing decided it'd be catchy to pronounce it as sex. If I were to pronounce it not as letters I'd pronounce it kecks :P
this reminds me I need to go in there for some 8Gb ddr3 laptop memory. got a couple of cashies laptops that need a little boost.
yes, I know what I'm doing, I've done this for several laptops over the years. no, not a gamer, just someone who likes their tech and getting it running sweetly, not wading through treacle. also, LOVE poundlands wireless mice (£4)
trust me, I got this! 👍
love CEX. but the damned thing is, I always end up coming out of there with a dvd box set too! 🤣
How much was the 1070?
I just got an MSI 1070Ti for £100 on Facebook marketplace 😍
idk y but this vlog type vid was way too enjoyable lol.
bru needs a second channel.
wait is there a second already?
Always loved the look of the gaming X cards 😍
yeah and he made out like a bandit getting a 1070. We have one still going strong in a kids build... but it's an inno3D one bought after a crypto crash years ago... cooler is such junk that even cleaned and with better thermal grease; had to point a fan at the back of it to stop it from throttling.
@@anasevi9456 have you tried undervolting with MSI Afterburner?
Helps a lot with the thermals ;)

Though not the original form, i love the titanium gaming x cards.
Damn ASUS really hooked it up with the ROG board and the 14900K, looks you won't be running into any CPU bottlenecks any time soon xD also today using parts that a friend gave me last year I put together a little system with a 4790 and a 1070. Watching this on it actually
Yay a new video! Also can you make an all CeX build like ram, ssd, processor and graphics card?
oh i like how CEX is doing this, you actually have a vague idea of what you're getting instead of taking a 100% shot in the dark.
Using standard bubble wrap is kind of naff. That shit GENERATES static, it's not anti-static it's the exact opposite.
Scrolled down to see if anyone else said this - wrapping the card first in some sort of paper will help insulate it from the plastic
Waitrose!? Someone's getting that RUclips money!
This packaging is pretty good for cex standards I ordered a hard drive a few months back and it was so terribly packaged compared to the couple I bought on eBay
Hi mate,you take all the time you need,have always loved your streaming style,we love you here in Australia 😊
Been a car guy way before a PC enthusiast so I have to ask what car that is as I’m usually pretty good at guessing a car but I’m stumped this time haha
Same here, would love to know. Had Range Rover or Volvo XC90 in my mind but could literally be anything
The fact RDR2 and Spiderman run really well is proof that starfield is hot garbage.
How much did you pay for the card!? ;-)
I used to work at CEX during the GPU prices skyrocketing, because it took a few weeks for prices to be readjusted, i was able to snag a 2080 that had been traded in during the midst of the chip shortage for mega cheap, granted after working there for a year i dont think i would ever buy anything again, we all had little jokes and sayings about other stores around the country and their reputation, some did their jobs of testing and making sure things were working prior REALLY well, others did an absolute horrendous job, its extremely hit or miss
that kind of a cpu for 1 buck is extremely impressive.
I used to own this exact model of the 1070. It was very cool both in terms of temperature as well as the look.
I really liked that fan design from MSI.
i just finished installing a new PSU and 6700XT to replace this same MSI 1070 a few minutes ago actually. great GPU, disappointed to retire it since I too love the design
Oh hey, my first ever modern Intel CPU lol, getting it for a pound is one hell of a deal. I hope you 1070 was a decent deal too, considering you got a GamingX model!
GTX 1070 was a good product, gamers all loved them, and bought them missive, and they never die.
Half the price of that GTX 1080 Ti, 1080p max ! 2016 games !
Funny how we always called it C.E.X but its actually pronounced sex
I always quite loudly proclaim to my other half "JUST GONNA POP INTO THE CEX SHOP!" when we visit our local high street.
I ordered a mini gtx 1050ti for my small pc case what came was a large gtx 1050ti that was to big
for my pc - they did refund me at my my local cex but they all said - what you pay for isnt what you will
always get - so be careful with GPUS .

Can confirm that literally no one that works in CEX calls it the 'other' word
You just have to test the two of these together at some point. Yeah, the CPU will be the bottleneck, but it still could be interesting.

Similar packaged Sanwiches cost around 2€ here in Germany, I didn't know the UK was that expensive when it comes to food.
I'd love to see you make a video about Windows 10 vs. 11. I recently worked on a friend's PC with Windows 11 and immediately hated it... it felt like one of those modded Windows 8 versions that tried to fix the mess by making it more similar to Win7.
To be fair its from Waitrose, not exactly a cheap supermarket. The general market rate is about £3.50ish for meal deals from Boots,Sainsburys,Co-op and Tesco.
He went to a company called "Waitrose", which is basically a rip off company that parts fools from their cash. They pretend that they're a premium company, but it's just the same stuff you can buy anywhere else for a lot less.
who esle thinks the gt 1030 needs to retire
CEX is second hand, but they charge premium, close to msrp, do not recomand
Unless you're looking at hard drives - I saw a 2TB HDD for £12 in a CEX today, but I didn't buy it because (a) I want more than 2TB, and (b) you never know what has happened to the HDD before, it might die at any time...
@@TheSpotify95i would buy two, run them in raid 1, and use the 24 month warranty
Already know which throwback system you're talking about. The classic Aero GTX 1070 + i5-8400 combo that you had in late 2017 to mid 2018. That would be such a throwback!
Wow you guessed it. I was trying to remember what year I had that combo! Thanks :)
@@RandomGaminginHD Haha, no problem, I had a similar system around that time as well!
very impressed with the performance of that card, obviously it was a bit carried by the i9 but still very nice indeed
in second you show the video card i know that msi gaming x model cause i have it too, different is my type is amd rx 470 8gb
CEX is seemingly pronounced as KeX, after all, people do not wish to be overheard using foul language, for the most part.
Nerds just call it the Computer Exchange.
Good place to get interesting obscure tat. I picked up a 150GB WD Raptor X, the one with the Plexiglas top for peanuts. And an Nvidia XFX 7800GT for a vintage PC I built, I believe it was £12. 👌🏻
I got my 3080 from CEX after the prices sorta went back to normal, Normally I wouldn't buy a second-hand GPU due to this being so close to the mining era crash and nearly all second-hand 3080s are undoubtedly ex mining cards. However, CEX offers 2 Years in-house warranty which basically means they'll refund it if it goes wrong within that time frame. The Card I got has some coil whine but it's not as bad as my EVGA 2070 Super I got from new and warrantied..
I got the i5 4590 for free and it runs great with a GTX 1060 3gb and 16gb 1600Mhz RAM in FHD. But that PC was a built for a friend, that didn't wanted to spend any money on it.
Just from watching people get good benchmarks with old cards that are inferior to what I've got on paper but are performing better, I can say with certainty that GPUs don't matter nearly as much as people believe. Not in these modern titles, anyway. Almost half of every graphical setting is based on CPU usage. So if your CPU isn't pulling its weight, your test results are going to be atrocious even if you have an rtx 4090, a lightning fast m.2 SSD and 64 ram.
Hey man, what software do you use for the on-screen performance overlay ? I'm kinda curious now about my CPU vs GPU performance with a 10700k and a 3080ti might be a bit of a discrepancy
Mate, that is a shocking meal deal. You seriously need to up your game. Been subbed a long time man, you would've lost me if it wasn't for the squares jk lol. Also, £5 for a meal deal? It's £3.40 at Tesco.
Came for the GPU reveal, hooked by the potential of a GDK review, got a Waitrose meal deal review instead. What a roller coaster of emotion, and a superb video mate - keep it up!
My first build, I planned and built for my son had a i5-8600k, 16gb Ram, and 1070 FE, it ran great, was used and cheap, that build has gone through some major upgrades since then, now on 12th gen i5-12600k, and a RTX 3080 :) nice vid, always nice to see older hardware still kicking :)
Swap my old graphics cards and electronic junk for upgrading my PC's at cex. Always take the vouchers
the warranty is awesome. i just got a ps4 vr for 40 quid, and the fact its under two year warranty secondhand is worth the slight overpayment. i also love getting my PS1 and PS2 games from there because they are always in good nick. i got vagrant story and its in perfect condition. everyones dead nice there too. love it.
watching RGHD whilst listening to Judas Priest's "breaking the Law"... Perfect.
