even if they don't score as many FPS per dollar compared to a low-end one you know what the stupidest thing about me screwing up that formula is is that's exactly the formula that I used to use when I worked retail computer sales to help people understand how you know buying something that costs twice as much might effectively give them a way better value than if they bought something for half as much like if you're buying A1 th000 Computer spending an extra $100 on a graphics card that performs 30% better is still 30% more performance for 10% more budget in the grand scheme of things but I like forgot and the really frustrating thing right now is that even if we hadn't already been late to meet this guy twice so I feel like I really have to go meet him even if that weren't the case I still have to go right now I have no time to go and plug some more cards into an updated formula and find out how they compare before I have to go meet him now so I basically could end up stuck with a $20 paper weight by the end of this I didn't bring my cash it's okay it's okay it's okay hello nice meet thank you this is uh this is going to really help me a lot have money sweet I also have a sweater awesome I couldn't find a t-shirt so it's a hoodie that's all right it's even better cool be vot for tur up for sweet awesome we just heard back not that I'm touching that uh we just heard back from the back alley guy I think we've got a lead on a sound card I'm going to offer him like five bucks so we need to be in Richmond in an hour and it's going to take us about 40 minutes to drive out there so we should be good on time and that's pretty much it last thing we're going to have to do is go over and pick up some memory which I think inst ex is actually going to be the cheapest way there's not a whole lot of like cheap used memory so yeah I feel like we're doing really good we just need the graphics card and as long as that works and everything should be fine there then we're going to be good so let's go hey so that's the top slot so everything's good so just got out of free geek Vancouver I was pretty worried about that store and that ended up being amazing all I need left is a power supply and I've spent $280 I should have asked about a power supply 700 Watts oo some sketchy Brands too good I forgot I needed a power supply oh yeah um how much for this guy this one is it from one cable can I just put them together from one yeah I can just put them together and then it has a I need yeah I need six plus two and I need six which it has awesome okay so give me one second how much did you say 30 bucks there you go thank you so done I guess free geek just cleaned me out for what was it uh $130 I got a 550 W power supply a q6600 a 160 GB hard drive a 775 motherboard and 8 gigs of RAM so that means my final total comes to 180 + 30 so 210 plus1 $310 so I'm $10 over the original scrapyard Wars budget and have a way better computer yes okay I keep telling myself I'm just going to stop looking I'm going to go back and test the cards but I keep I keep looking anyway I mean I just saw a 7990 list listed or a 7970 listed for $100 even factoring in my $20 loss on that card that's an FPS per dollar of almost .4 that would be the winner if I can get it and here's something totally stupid here's a 6990 in Richmond surely this guy doesn't think he's actually going to get $180 for that so why don't we send a text okay so after the 18-hour drive to where are we at right now Richmond Richmond after the 18-hour drive to Richmond give ever take 17 hours we're here but we're actually here 20 minutes early so the dude lives in one of these apartment buildings over here so I guess we just wait for him oh dude there's a Toys R Us over there 20 minutes in Toys R Us hi I'm calling about the 6990 you have listed on Craigslist do you still have that yeah I do but uh there's a guy is picking up uh this afternoon um if he uh doesn't shows up I will give you a how's that um do you know the name of the guy picking it up no I don't oh okay yeah I think um he's not likely to pick up though uh because he's using a California numbers so I I don't know it's a froud or or what oh okay um cuz I can come like I can come like right now because I I have made uh a promise to him so I will wait till two if he doesn't shows up then uh it's yours okay uh how much did he offer it's 180 oh okay okay I'd have to Fig okay um okay can you can you call me at two If he if he doesn't come get it by two sure yeah I will wait like half an hour or something like that where are where do you live well I live out in Langley so the sooner you can let me know the sooner I can start driving cuz I really need it today okay yeah yeah I will give you a call okay all right thank you all right thank you okay bye California California okay Austin's number going to pick up a 6990 in the city city of Richmond he is rocking a 6990 okay interesting scrapyard Wars will be right back after these messages this episode of scrapyard Wars is brought to you by dbrand makers of the Precision Cut vinyl skins that you'll see on the phones and notebooks of our contestants they offer a wide variety of styles and colors and support for the coolest devices including the PlayStation 4 Galaxy Note 5 and iPhone 6s protect the body of your devices and make them look great at dbrand.com scrapyard Wars so we're at the guy's place um he's going to let us test the card the problem is is do we film it because I feel super sketchy at going to some random guy's house as he's testing a graphics card for me and say by the way can we film I don't know what do you think well I think our intention is to make a video video is very important we should push like we're asking right is it is it invion of privacy if we ask hold on but if we say we want to record what happens he goes oh well I want twice as much money for the car and we say well we don't have a choice record the video no no no but like if he knows like this is not just some random couple guys who want to build a computer like what if he decides like he wants to raise the price or something I just really don't like recording like people's houses or like in I don't like recording in places where people don't like let me which I guess well that's why you're asking and we don't have to tell them that we're shooting a YouTube video either we can just be like hey uh like can we just document this oh I forgot the money wait can we catch this that might be a little helpful in buying a graphics card so now we know Austin after that card part of me wants to snipe it just to totally him but the other part of me is actually not even sure if that's that great of a card so we can plug this into the formula so $ 6990 out $180 would be approximately a 6970 time 2ish so that's 57 so let's say times 1.8 those games should scale like pretty well so about 102 so if he's paying 180 bucks for that oh that is a that see that's a better performance index than I'm getting 36 damn it Austin Well if I can snipe it I'm going to all right so looks like everything works so we're here testing out the 6990 everything looks like it's running great on Diablo II so we're pretty much good there um now pretty much all that's left for today is we need to go pick up some memory and we'll be good to go so we might just have this build ready boom so we successfully have an S XFX radon 6990 this is a huge car look compared to me so yeah I think we're looking good right now um so at this point we pretty much just need to go to int ex and pick up 4 gigs of RAM which shouldn't be a big problem um that's the only kind of slight question right now is how much RAM do we actually want to get um so 4 gigs is going to be a lot cheaper but we might have some stuttering issues I think Far Cry 4 is the thing that we're kind of a little worried about right now so it's going to be like do we want to go for it or not I kind of want to play it a little risky so I think we might go with 4 gig of RAM especially if they end up making me pay for tax which I don't want to have to do so but most important thing we have an awesome graphics card so we're set mostly I've got to say now that we've got this beefy graphics card I'm feeling way better at this point we really only need the memory and that should be like the easiest thing ever to get so putting in work right now especially considering how cheap this was I mean this was like a $600 graphics card maybe $700 graphics card just a few years ago we got this thing for less than 200 so I don't know I feel like if we win this it's going to be because of this card if we lose this it's going to be because of this card but I think we're going to win this because of this card so we've had a troubling morning we got our graphics card that I thought was a great deal turns out that according to my corrected calculations it was actually not a very good deal and we got some very useful Intel on what our competitors are doing so Austin is going high performance and he's going dual GPU which I really wish I had looked up the 699 I looked up almost every other dual GPU solution yesterday by keyword this one's been listed for a month and Austin offered asking price he's getting a 6990 for 180 bucks which by my calculation is going to cream me so we're on our way back to the office we're going to test what we have make sure it's running I am going to do some shopping try and find a better graphics card deal and if I can find something that'll allow me to eat the $20 I wasted then I will go out and get it before I meet the uh the back alley guy again at 4 today dude the NX is right there it's right in that okay so do you want to drive over there or do you just want to walk it what let's go get our memory now dude I'm feeling pretty pumped I really think that we're actually doing really good here 8 gigs of RAM is way too that's crazy for a scrapyard War system we got crazy it's pretty crazy we got to save money dude this is price of performance it's a serious business we got to we got to go for the 4 Gig let's see if there's any other 4 gig just in case okay 20 30 five there you go she got the 4 Gig stick of the Corsair memory so won't be super fast won't be a ton of memory but it should be just enough to get through number is 162 be out okay awesome man appreciate it we're good root beer all right we have officially all of our parts right now so to recap we picked up the case and one of our power supplies for $25 this morning we went to a computer shop we got our CPU our motherboard we've got the heat sink we got another power supply and we got got a hard drive we got the graphics card just now and we just picked up the $30 kit of 4 gig memory as as on the spot flying it out right here so we have all the parts and we bought them all today and everything went pretty well actually it is 238 right now so not only do we have over 2 hours left but we get to enjoy a delicious root beer M well you do you're too cheap to get me one oh yeah so I accidentally I just bought this out of the scrapyard Wars budget so all the parts we bought plus like $2 for root beer oops this tastes pretty sweet though I think it was kind of worth it okay I'm a little nervous right now there we go what is that did this guy sell us a dead graphics card anyway so the good news is that we found a lead on a graphics card that even if I have to throw away the $20 I spent on this will put me back out ahead or at least even with Austin for FPS per dollar but I haven't heard from the guy in about half an hour so I'm really hoping I hear back soon the bad news is our power supply we hoped would work is dead which means that our 400 watt backup power supply is only borderline capable of even supporting a 7970 if we get it there's also more bad news it looks like our 6850 might actually be dead which could also be good news because that gives us $20 back in our pocket if we can get a refund um I'm liking Austin's chances but never count Luke out I mean he might show up with some completely Bizarro thing next time on scrapyard Wars Austin gets a tenis shot Luke gets captured by Vikings and lus runs over a dog"}
