can you fake each other's intros welcome to my unboxing of the brand-new blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah totally how you sound you gotta be a couple octaves higher hey guys it's me Austin I'm on a mountain what is the poor man's graphics card so I do a lot of these like budget gaming pcs and yeah like it's really fun to play with like the like 295x2 and like 780ti like all these crazy high-end expensive cards but the thing is you don't really need that and I would straight-up never pay that much for a graphics card back when I was buying them yeah it's kind of silly to pay $300 extra for like 5 frames per second like if you have that kind of money you're going crazy but I feel like you can build something that's really solid like if you can play a game on like medium to high settings at 1080p I feel like most people it's going to be totally fine and you can spend way less money you view the entire computer that runs 1080p high for like less than the price of like a 780ti easy alright imma throw this at you okay so you can look at every component in terms of how many frames per second this graphics card drives versus another graphics card but that's not necessarily the way to buy a PC yeah you could look at it in terms of I'm spending $200 more on this graphics card so I'm spending double what's it 400 versus $200 and it's going to give me odd dude let's say only 70% more performance because that's pretty typical yeah um but the other way of looking at it is I'm spending $800 on this computer and I'm spending another $200 and I'm getting 7% per performance so actually if we had to pick like a really solid budget card though like what Jim said you cuz like I know for me like I feel like you can get solid stuff not the hundred to two hundred 'allah range I feel like that's the meat of like the solid stuff like I would like it to 70 X that's a card that like for $200 is such a dick it's good enough where you've got like the power to handle 1080p no problem right now yeah you also have I would say future proofing I hate that word gets have two cases in the yes word it is but you do have two gigs of memory it should hold up for a little while compared to like say on Dalek card like I really like the 270x but like what's a like single card it's like reasonably-priced it kind of jumps out at you I guess for me it'll be because he Nvidia AMD you can have that are getting a wet day to have that argument all day and I'm not going to bother because it's not worth my time so what it'll be is whatever is on sale that junk that is in my budget and that budget if you want the best bang for the buck is going to be one 19.99 to one 49.99 okay you find whatever the highest tier card you can is within that price range and that's probably going to deliver anywhere from there to around to 29.99 is going to be that the best bang for the buck in terms of FPS per dollar who can lift the most PC parts at the same time so clearly is to incredibly attractive strong dudes we can lift like multiple whoa whoa coming out the guys whoa okay way to do that I think it what's the heavies computer that you like you regularly pick up the heaviest computer I reckon I don't personal rigs I try not to pick it up but it's only 40 cons yeah that's pretty heavy Ike yeah I mean like I guess like 60 pounds I think it taken you had water cool you get the whole deal I've got a couple Reds in there oh this cat curing a sitcom laptop up like the 40,000 foot mountain couch yes okay so I think we both Thailand on actually okay well I actually I don't know if I would call it a tie because oh the only thing even resembling a PC part around here is this thing and I think we can all agree to this is not a real PC so I didn't even end up with one it's like it's called the air for a reason oh wait wait do I give them on camera actually what like holding and touching it good washing why are we sitting the death of 4.5 inch and 4.7 inch flagships so that's actually interesting question because I mean I feel like for a while there that was pretty much what we were seeing like neom galaxy s3 and these these kind of films like four point seven four point eight is a great size I nationwide the phones that I was really surprised about last year was the I still feel like that is the best like as far as sized like screen ratio foam and that hair remember that but it's awesome I think they actually like it's almost perfect texture the curve the size it's just the perfect combo yeah and so now we're looking at phones like getting the five inch like the LG g3 I think you have one it's little right I did to my deck it's a cool phone that's big it's just very very big the LG g3 is too big and not because it's too tall it's actually about the same height as the HTC One m8 but the problem is that I cannot reach the left edge here and the 2560 by 1440 p screen yet another example of of EPA measurement oh it straight up doesn't make sense of you have you you have your so g3 I'm actually working on right now I think one of the big things with the g3 with that big screen like the size doesn't matter as much as like that resolution can you tell the difference mmm when I look at me like like super up-close like you know like that like these like little tiny dots in the wallpaper I can see but no like not normal use but I don't know like I mean you look it like the iPhone like they're like okay they're gonna be coming out look at four point seven and a five point five or something yeah I understand like a big phone like the note 3 or something like there is like I think for some people it makes sense to have a nice big screen if you like watch a lot of video if you want to get rid of your tablet if you don't sing well yeah actually your fine motor control isn't that great having your buttons like yeah I had no problem with that however I feel like that's more of a nitch kind of thing it's just like the same people who carry around like a 15 year 17 inch laptop there's most people are probably more not going to be more couple with 11 or 13 inch laptop yeah it's gonna be the same thing with phones and take something at four point five four point seven will see these flagships kind of they're going to hit the the upper bound people gonna start complaining they're guys start going okay maybe we should bring this back a little bit so I don't think they're going where I really do think that four point five four point seven maybe even five inch I think that that might be a good kind of middle-ground but I feel like it's got to come down and kind of love love for the most part I find this usable yeah but I find the iPhone 5s comfortable yeah yeah and you know something I think a logical discount is that using a phone with like one hand is really hopeful like how many times are you walking around like trying to text somebody or like you don't have like an extra hand free it's easy to kind of just say oh let's use two hands but it's convenient to be able to use one hand a lot because yeah it I think I think it's a we'll see because we've had this conversation it's like four inches it's never gonna be bigger than that like I remember whom the iPhone came out number how huge that screen see now you figured up today just like and when the horse came out and that resolution I can put my face on the screen I can rub it all over it not I can see the pixels this technology keeps marching forward well so you'll see where it takes us yep all right so that's about it now before we get here I think we've got to give a big shout out to why we're actually here in Colorado we're here for the Highlander oh you guys sure it's perfect so we're here for the Highlander my human billboard here so basically we hiked up like a NASCAR driver the second highest mountain in the lower 48 states we did 14,000 feet do a bunch of game 21400 battle back glass for our pizza and that last 400 row so I'm gonna make sure y'all know about it Sam I'm like I'm like assimilated I'm a little y'all and Joe just just just move towns United States you're like most of the way here so we climbed up there with a bunch of like tech gear like laptops keyboards all that kind of stuff and we actually had the World Record highest land party ever in history so you guys we've got a bunch of videos it's going to be a couple in your channel there's gonna be one of my channel text indicates a new egg like there's gonna be tons of videos and definitely stay tuned for that for like next week something like that
