1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,640
In recent years, tariff tariff tariffs have become a key strategy for the

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:13,920
United States by implementing a sales tax on nearly everything that Americans

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:16,320
buy from out of country. But in Brazil,

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:22,080
they've been kicking that rock for half a century. How's that going for them? To

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:25,039
find out, I bought all of this tech from

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:29,519
Brazil. Now, I've never lived in Brazil, but I have. This is Ricardo, who does

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:35,680
some of our thumbnails, and he's going to be showing us how to survive when the

8
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:38,160
government wants a uh 93% cut on all of

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:42,480
your electronics. Do you shop AliExpress and just hope the seller lies on the

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,640
customs forms? Do you buy lesserk known or white label brands in order to get a

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,079
better deal? Like, what is super frame memory? And why does it also have

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,039
Kingston branding on it? We're just getting started. This is already so

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,039
difficult. Like, how do you navigate this? >> Well, you do a little bit of this, a

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,840
little bit of that. You can shop on online or you can go to a tech shop and

15
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:04,960
they're going to put something together. >> Brilliant. Then that means we did the right thing. Our friends Davyy and

16
00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:11,040
Roberto actually put together not one but two Brazilian builds for us. On one

17
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:14,960
side, we've got a pretty good gaming PC by Brazilian standards. And on the other

18
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,240
side, we've got one of the cheapest builds that you could put together

19
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,920
pretty much anywhere. And as you're about to see, both of these are a little

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:26,560
different from what you'd find if you just fired up the new egg and shopped

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,759
the most popular components. Now, let's shop the most popular segway. Yeah,

22
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:35,439
sponsor. >> War Thunder. Take command of over 2500

23
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:40,240
tanks, planes, helicopters, and ships of 10 major nations in one of the most

24
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:45,759
comprehensive vehicle combat games ever made. Join over 95 million players on

25
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:49,000
console, PC, or mobile using our links down below.

26
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,759
You've never built a PC before? >> No. >> Would you describe that as sexier than

27
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:05,439
this one? >> Well, this one has more like more swag or more mo as we say in Brazil, you

28
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:12,000
know, mean sauce. >> And the sauce starts with a Super Frame.

29
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:14,239
That brand again, B450M motherboard.

30
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,440
Well, it turns out ASRock sells these boards in bulk to white label brands

31
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:23,360
like Superframe, who slap their label on them and then handle the logistical

32
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,959
headaches of selling in Latin America. One of the headaches that Superframe

33
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:32,800
handles is doing the final assembly of these things in the ZFM in order to get

34
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:39,120
massive tax exemptions. This workaround allows some reasonably modern tech to be

35
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:43,440
legally made in Brazil, RESULTING IN PRICING THAT IS

36
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,800
RESULTING IN pricing that's somewhat close to what you might pay elsewhere.

37
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,640
But they're not typically going to stock higherend parts because even without

38
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:54,480
tariffs, not many could afford it. Moving on to our CPU, we've got

39
00:02:52,080 --> 00:03:00,160
something that's familiar and yet unfamiliar. It's a Ryzen CPU with 3D

40
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,560
vcache exclusive to Latin America.

41
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:06,879
>> Why is that? Well, this allows them to have something that's affordable for

42
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:12,239
that market, but that is not as easy to price compare in the other more affluent

43
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:16,000
markets. Also, by having a discrete skew, they make it a little bit more

44
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,280
difficult for the gray marketers who would otherwise grab chips just like

45
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:25,440
game keys, for instance, from developing markets and then [music] transfer them

46
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:28,480
over to more affluent markets in order to make more margin on them.

47
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:34,239
>> Of course. Of course. >> Want to go ahead and install it? Okay, let's go. I have some experience

48
00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:38,720
building computers. The last time I did was just tearing down my iMac.

49
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:42,720
>> OKAY, JUST THE WHOLE TIME. >> OH, SORRY. What did I miss?

50
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:47,280
>> We don't want to touch the pins on the bottom. If these get bent, that's bad.

51
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:51,519
You might have noticed AM4 is still super popular in Latin America just

52
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:57,439
because of the affordability both of the chips, motherboards, and of course, the

53
00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:59,519
DDR4 memory. In fact, it's so popular

54
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:04,000
that ASUS has apparently been ramping up production of AM4 boards to serve the

55
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:07,360
Latin American market. Oh, wow. I'll be right over here. Hopefully, you don't

56
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:11,920
break anything. Brilliant. Now, let's talk about my system. As you might have

57
00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:16,959
noticed, Ricardo has already spent over $300 on his bougie Brazilian system.

58
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:22,079
That's way out of reach for many families. That's where boards like this

59
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:27,280
Zesus from AliExpress come in. Not to be confused with Asus or the Greek god.

60
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:32,880
Step one, harvest the chipsets from retired server motherboards. Step two,

61
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:39,199
do some BIOS black magic to enable modern features like M.2 SSDs. And step

62
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:44,320
three, sell them for pennies on the dollar to developing markets. This

63
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:50,800
motherboard, plus the older generation 12 core Xeon that's installed, plus this

64
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:53,600
16 gig stick of ECC DDR4 memory, all

65
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:57,759
came to just $56. It's not the most modern thing, but as

66
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:03,440
you guys are going to see later, many esports titles will run just fine on it.

67
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:08,960
What a deal that was. And I say was because it was so good that Brazil went

68
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:15,039
and slapped a 93% tax [music] on anything off AliExpress

69
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:17,280
more than $50. Absolutely freaking

70
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:20,800
brutal. So then like what would people just have to order the parts peace meal

71
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:24,000
and just pay shipping three times to get around it? >> Something like that. Or do you have a

72
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:30,160
friend that goes abroad and you ask, "Hey, can you bring something for me in your luggage?" That's the way we do it.

73
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:34,160
>> Or don't. Not legal advice. [laughter] >> Yeah.

74
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:39,600
>> As for Ricardo's RAM, he's going to be using DDR4 just like me, but he's going

75
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:42,000
to be using much faster DDR4, unlike me.

76
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:48,240
3200 mega transfers per second versus the 2133 of my generic server memory.

77
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:52,720
Now, Davi and Roberto did suggest that faster RAM might actually be a

78
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:59,039
worthwhile upgrade even for my system, but a brand name like Super Frame might

79
00:05:56,479 --> 00:06:06,800
be out of reach for this customer. So, we also grabbed this Ninja Gaming DDR4

80
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:09,440
Hurac for $11 less. Now, $11 difference

81
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:13,759
might seem pretty small, but that's like $50 Brazilian and could be the

82
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:19,520
difference between buy now or realistically buy now pay later. You

83
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,759
were saying BNPL is like super common.

84
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:26,720
>> Yeah. I mean, since I I grew up, this is just regular adulting, the way you buy

85
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,880
stuff. In Brazil, that's like common. You can even like do it with your lunch.

86
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:35,199
>> Are the interest rates lower maybe then? >> So, that's a tricky thing. Usually they

87
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:39,600
say you don't get any interest in those purchases. However, if you buy anything

88
00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:43,440
full price, you get 10% off. >> Oh, so it's like halal mortgages where

89
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,440
it's like, oh, you're not paying interest. You just pay a fee.

90
00:06:45,919 --> 00:06:50,479
>> Yeah, that's the only way you can buy, you know, a fridge or do anything,

91
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:55,199
right? You need to buy installments. >> All right. Now, it's time for you to installments some RAM.

92
00:06:53,039 --> 00:06:58,160
>> Oo, no pressure, right? No pressure. >> No, no, you'll need some pressure.

93
00:06:57,239 --> 00:07:02,479
[laughter] >> There we go. >> Nice. At my very limited budget, even

94
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:06,000
though this would more than double my memory bandwidth, I'm still going to see

95
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:10,400
if I can get away without it. And let's move on to our storage. We're both using

96
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:14,319
the Kingston NV2. We didn't order any storage from Brazil, but Kingston's a

97
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:20,000
big brand there. Now, it's time to talk case and cooling. And once again, you

98
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:22,319
get way better stuff than me. Another

99
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:28,160
super frame part. This time, it's actually a really compelling looking

100
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:31,280
case for the equivalent of $85.

101
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:35,680
Not to mention glass. It's not even

102
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:39,280
acrylic. Then you got this 360 mm also

103
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,319
RGB AIO cooler for just $55.

104
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,800
>> I want I want it for me. >> Does it have enough sauce? [laughter]

105
00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:47,199
>> No. Yeah. Enough sauce. Enough sauce on this one. >> All right. You want to get started on

106
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:56,039
that? >> Well, I show them what I ended up with.

107
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:56,039
Meet the Gamer Ninja eraser for $29.7.

108
00:07:56,479 --> 00:08:02,639
What makes this eraser? Well, let me

109
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:07,759
tell you. First, it erased how much money I had to spend because this case,

110
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:13,280
not to mention my Gambia Borious heat sink cost less than just Ricardo's

111
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:17,680
cooler. And I haven't even shown you guys the best part yet. It has an LED

112
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:22,160
switch on the front that changes the color of the lighting behind this

113
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,759
included doodle board. How long's this chalk marker been sitting? Reminds

114
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:31,120
>> of college, right? Oh man. No.

115
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:35,599
>> I'll keep you in here along with all my other PC building stuff. Brilliant. Oh,

116
00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:39,200
there they are. These are all my SSDs for the Linux challenge. I thought I

117
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:42,080
lost them. Right. Tech sack. So many pockets. Just don't lose things in it.

118
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,399
How you doing over here? >> Well, I'm going to need your help. [laughter] >> Okay, fair.

119
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:51,279
>> I'm a Mac user. >> Here's what you're going to do. This

120
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:56,240
right here. Just like that. Boom. Meanwhile, in Lionus land, I don't even

121
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:59,360
know if these are comp. Oh yeah. Okay. >> There we go. Okay. So, you can do it

122
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,480
just like that. >> You got your own syringe though. You get a fancier one than me.

123
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,320
>> Oh, that's lots. >> That's a lot. >> Oh, yeah. Okay, >> you're good. That's perfect. Okay. Yep.

124
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,720
Oh, >> I've never done this before, man. You got to tell me. >> Okay. So, is that is that in? Did you do

125
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:15,279
it? >> Yeah, I got it. But I don't know what are the next steps. I need to attach

126
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:20,000
this guy, I assume. >> Yeah, let's do that. >> So, I just need to glue this guy on top

127
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:23,920
of the processor. >> Okay, sure. Yeah, the thermal paste.

128
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,560
>> How would you say that? Contact those two. [music] I don't know. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You just put it put it

129
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:33,279
on there. >> Okay. And then I put this guy right there. >> Yep. Trying to glue stuff over there.

130
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,880
Okay. I'm going to put this in. It'll be exciting.

131
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:40,480
Oh, let's talk about the power supply.

132
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,920
Normally, we kind of gloss over the power supply because for your popular

133
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:48,160
North American brands, they're pretty much all going to be at least [music]

134
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:52,880
good enough. So, your choice pretty much comes down to how much do you want to

135
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:55,040
spend on extras like modular cables or

136
00:09:52,880 --> 00:10:00,720
super high efficiency ratings. This time, I actually don't recognize either

137
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:08,480
my BRX 650 watt or Ricardo's Dux Pulse 800

138
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:14,000
watt. So, I felt it would be a really good idea to get our Labs team to take a

139
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,920
closer look at these before we use them.

140
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,920
Lionus' unit is a pretty inexpensive option, and in our testing, it couldn't

141
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:23,760
sustain anywhere near its rated 650 watt output, capping out around 400 watts

142
00:10:21,839 --> 00:10:26,720
instead. As for Ricardo's Dux Pulse, it's more than double the price, and

143
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:31,440
while it isn't a top performer, it should comfortably do what it says on the box. In our brownout test, both of

144
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,800
these power supplies turned off lower than the standard and recommended 12 to

145
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:38,160
16 [music] millconds we typically see. We also looked at the voltage regulation

146
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,800
and voltage ripple results, and you can find those in the LT Labs companion

147
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,600
article linked below. >> Okay, what do I do with a modular cable? What is it good for?

148
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,240
>> One benefit is you only use the cables that you want. So, you don't have to

149
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,920
have any extras. So, it can look a little bit tidier, but I can understand

150
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:56,240
how for a lot of people that might not be that big of a deal. >> That's not bad at all. Some of the PSUs

151
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:59,760
I shot for Labs, they have all the cables attached and it's so cumbersome

152
00:10:57,839 --> 00:11:04,160
to move around. And I can see the benefit for sure. >> Well, that's going to be me because I

153
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:09,040
did not get a modular power supply. >> Sorry. >> I also paid less than half as much as

154
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,880
you did, though. So, uh Cardo is doing pretty good over here, though. Can I

155
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:14,959
help you? >> Yeah, of course, please. There you go. This way. Okay. Gotcha.

156
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:18,000
>> Yeah. So, we pull that fresh air in from the outside. >> Sorry about these ones. And then how do

157
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:27,040
you usually go? Do you do go like underneath? >> You go however look sauce to you.

158
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:28,320
>> Oh, now look at that. So clean.

159
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:32,399
>> So fresh. So clean. >> This is like a perfectly chromulent

160
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,920
modern motherboard. But I guess the budget is just the problem.

161
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,360
>> We have rich people in Brazil be able to afford these.

162
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:42,399
>> Fair enough. >> Yeah. But like the regular Joe, he'll have trouble. It's nice to have cable

163
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:46,880
management loops in even such a budgetoriented case, but I got to say,

164
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:51,279
did they have to put all of the loops right in front of the pass through

165
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:55,360
holes? So, they're like right there. Also, this is a rookie power supply

166
00:11:53,360 --> 00:12:01,920
manufacturer mistake. Why is the sticker upside down? Super Frame makes another

167
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:05,040
triumphant appearance here. Epic

168
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:09,040
graphics card special edition. While we

169
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:11,279
could spend another $100 on an RTX50 for

170
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:17,360
a more up-to-date [music] feature set, this is already a ton of money to spend,

171
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,440
and that 50/50 might not perform as much

172
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:24,160
betterer compared to this as you might think. See, for starters, the raw

173
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:28,240
performance uplift over the last couple of generations has not been as much as

174
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:34,560
gamers were used to seeing in the past. And for another thing, the 50/50 uses

175
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:36,560
only eight PCIe lanes, half as many as

176
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:40,720
the 3060. If we were putting it in a modern system, that doesn't really

177
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:47,279
matter because those eight lanes on the 50/50 are so much faster. But if you're

178
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:49,519
using an older motherboard, your GPU is

179
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:53,680
going to fall back to the older speed for its lanes. So, the fact that it only

180
00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:58,959
has eight of them and they're going to be operating at a quarter of the speed

181
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:04,800
that that GPU expects means that you can run into performance bottlenecks.

182
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:07,120
Meanwhile, the 3060, it's Gen 4 and it's

183
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:12,399
going in a Gen 3 board, but at least it has 16 Gen 4 lanes, so it's getting half

184
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:18,639
the speed it expects as opposed to a quarter. Meanwhile,

185
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:20,800
for my system, I get a Radeon RX 580

186
00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:28,000
from 2017. This is the card that doesn't end. Yes,

187
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:30,320
it goes on and on, my friends. While

188
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:34,560
it's almost 10 years old, it can still play many of the titles that are popular

189
00:13:32,079 --> 00:13:39,839
in Brazil, like League of Legends and even Valerant with some asterisks. It is

190
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:44,000
worth noting that we went with the 8 gigs of VRAM version. Yes, I know. Well,

191
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:48,639
thank you, Tech Media. 8 gigs is not enough for 2026, but listen, when the

192
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:53,279
other option is 4 gigs, we take [music] the 8 gigs. Fun fact, one of the reasons

193
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:57,279
that these are so commonly available is that these cards, especially the 8 gig

194
00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:02,000
versions, were extremely popular with crypto miners. Those GPUs and uh that

195
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:05,920
rea's been through some stuff. Can't speak to the reliability, but still a

196
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,519
perfectly chromulent gaming card. Hey, nice. Not bad.

197
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,920
>> Not bad. >> Once again, all this goes back there, though. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

198
00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:15,120
>> So, a little bit better. No, no, no, no, no, no. It's good. It's good. You just

199
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:19,120
built a computer. >> Oh, my first PC.

200
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:22,720
>> It's the PC building World Cup. >> Yeah, >> Brazil won. [laughter]

201
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,600
>> Well, that's the only thing that we're going to win because the Yeah, the soccer team.

202
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:31,279
>> What are the odds this turns on the first time?

203
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:35,040
>> Come on. One thing the Brazilians have is faith. So, you got to be a bit

204
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:39,279
Brazilian here now. >> Okay. All right. I believe. Let's hook

205
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:42,959
these things up. Oh, we have some more stuff, though. We have monitors. I

206
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:49,440
assume this one's yours. >> Ah, come on. H Yeah, he gets the super

207
00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:50,320
frame. He always gets the super frame.

208
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:57,600
What's up with that? >> I'm the guest. >> 1440p

209
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:58,720
180 Hz IPS panel for 130 bucks.

210
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:03,360
>> Not bad. >> Not bad. I mean, as long as you're

211
00:15:01,199 --> 00:15:08,720
making North American income, I guess that would be very expensive in Brazil,

212
00:15:05,199 --> 00:15:11,920
I assume. Wow. This has a lot of inputs

213
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,160
for a budget monitor. Two HDMIs and two

214
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:17,120
DPS. >> Don't break my monitor.

215
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:23,199
>> Well, I'll leave you to do that and I'm gonna assemble mine.

216
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:27,360
>> Now that's glossy. That looks so sad next to yours.

217
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:32,320
>> Ooh. Yeah, maybe. I guess size does matter, right?

218
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:38,639
>> It even has a really small vasa pattern. It has no DisplayPort and no DVI. only

219
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:41,040
has VGA and HDMI. And it's especially

220
00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:45,279
funny because HDMI is the one that costs more to implement on your product. But

221
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:50,560
if you're going to have just one All right,

222
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,199
75 Hz. That looks decent,

223
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:56,639
>> right? >> Yeah. You've obviously got some upscaling on. And honestly, it looks

224
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:01,279
like you might even have a little bit of frame gen on. In terms of the experience

225
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:07,519
of gaming on that versus what I'm about to do here, >> this is decent for sure. [snorts]

226
00:16:05,199 --> 00:16:10,959
Oh my. Okay. >> Oh jeez, that looks bad. You barely have

227
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:17,199
any shadows on that one. >> Listen, Mac guy, how many shadows does

228
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:19,920
your Mac have? Fair enough. Oh wow, I am

229
00:16:17,199 --> 00:16:26,240
not getting that many fewer FPS compared to Ricardo, but my game is running at a

230
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:29,279
lower resolution and much lower details.

231
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:33,040
This looks like low everything.

232
00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:34,160
low everything and image sharpening and

233
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:38,480
FSR upscaling. >> There's not a lot of NPC. Is that due to

234
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:42,160
the power of the computer or no? >> No, you just are in the middle of

235
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:45,600
nowhere. Super resolution. [music] No frame gen. Wow. Okay,

236
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:51,360
>> you can do that. >> You've even got ray tracing on. That is

237
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:53,279
pretty darn impressive. RTX 3060. Still

238
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:57,440
a D card. Hey, if we're being real though, my system was never designed to

239
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:03,680
handle Cyberpunk. Why don't we try something a little more esportsy? 12

240
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,559
cores only at 2.2 GHz, but damn, 12

241
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:12,946
cores. >> I've definitely sold that processor for like 1,500 bucks in servers before.

242
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:14,000
>> Check out this keyboard,

243
00:17:12,946 --> 00:17:19,120
[laughter] >> man. I can barely tell the difference between T's and CTS with how bad the

244
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:27,039
color is on this display. It's unbelievable. Did what the Come on, man.

245
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:30,640
Actually leg killed. That was not my fault.

246
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:37,440
Oh my god. That was my fault. Oh, it's so Oh, it's so hitchy.

247
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:40,480
Hitch, please. I'm only getting like 60

248
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:43,760
FPS. He's getting triple my average FPS

249
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:46,000
and almost quadruple my 1% lows. That

250
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:51,679
makes for a much better gaming experience. Oh no.

251
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:55,640
Do you see that? How it's not tracking what I'm doing at all?

252
00:17:55,679 --> 00:18:00,640
Yeah, fast movements. It's losing it. >> See it? Yeah,

253
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:05,679
>> mine it doesn't even matter whether I'm moving fast. This is brutal. So, what I

254
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:10,640
thought was actually the system lagging sometimes is just the mouse losing

255
00:18:07,679 --> 00:18:14,320
tracking so I don't turn. This is so frustrating trying to play with this. A

256
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:20,720
better mouse would solve a lot of my issues right now though. Like 60 FPS,

257
00:18:17,679 --> 00:18:22,640
75, 100 FPS. That's playable. Very

258
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,679
playable. And I'm dead.

259
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:32,640
Okay. >> Okay. Exactly. Not great, but okay. And

260
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:36,960
maybe that's okay. Sometimes you just got to work with what the piggy bank

261
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:41,039
allows. And both of these PCs delivered a pretty playable experience considering

262
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:45,919
the budget that we had to work with. Yes, Ricardo's performs anywhere from

263
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:50,640
two to four times better, but it also cost about three times as much. And

264
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:55,520
considering the policies that Brazilians have to work around, you got to admire

265
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:59,440
the tenacity and the the the can do spirit and the uh what's the the word

266
00:18:57,679 --> 00:19:03,200
that the visitor told me? >> Gambia.

267
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:06,799
>> Yeah. Yeah. So, with all context of all of that, it makes sense why these parts

268
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:10,480
were recommended. I can't say that I would necessarily recommend these parts

269
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:14,799
if you're living in North America, at least not at the moment. But hey, who

270
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:19,363
knows? If uh US policies keep tracking the direction they're going, maybe we're

271
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,080
going to end up in a similar situation.

272
00:19:19,363 --> 00:19:26,240

PCs also exist in North America. And while some of them are similar, like

290
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:39,200
these uh old Xeon combos, some of them look a fair bit different than what's

291
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:43,600
being thrown together in Brazil. Don't believe me? Well, I challenged four tech
