It's clearly a very good graphics card, so it just comes down to price and availability, and it's not a winner on that front.

Is it just that by being in Australia they end up dealing with Asian-Market reps that are used to a whole different press dynamic than a US/Euro based PR flack would be? Or is there something else going on here? Or maybe it happens to everyone but only GN and HUB regularly make name & shame videos about it

Just looking at techpowerup's specs, 128bit LPDDR4X gives the DG1 roughly 4x the memory bandwidth of the DDR4 1030 and 1.4x the bandwidth of the GDDR5 1030, so I doubt it's a problem with such a low-end GPU. They're going to need GDDR6 for the higher end models to be competitive with anything, though.

It's a great demonstration of what happens when someone does zero research before spending a lot of money with a company whose support does nothing at all to help with that situation. When customer and store both do everything wrong

One of the models in question was reviewed by TechPowerUp last December- and it exploded on them. Their article has some good photos of the inside of the thing: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/gigabyte-gp-p750gm-750-w/ Their conclusion after tearing it down and examining it is that the design is clean and the build quality is high- but the key components that failed were rock-bottom crap with some of the capacitors not even identifying their manufacturer. And that component selection is on Gigabyte.

Charles posted:Have they reviewed a modern Dell workstation / business PC? The Vostro was a workstation build. Or compare it to a consumer build from that era? I seem to recall having a BTX Dell from slightly before that era and liking it but my memory isn't super sharp on that. That Vostro is 100% identical to the cheap rear end Inspiron 530 sold at the same time (except color, black vs white).

I just have too much experience with those particular models of shitbox Dell. Trivia: the Inspiron 530 / Vostro 400 that came with a Core 2 Duo cannot be upgraded to a Core 2 Quad (like the one Steve had) because their motherboard physically lacks a VRM phase the quad needs (the mobos are otherwise identical). So don't think for a moment that Dell was ever not cheap.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:I'm surprised Steve didn't mention the most blatantly scammy part: The return processor responsible for checking the product after Steve returned it must have seen the RMA sticker but decided to ignore it and blame Steve for the damage anyway. There is no charitable interpretation of this. It's just an outright malicious scam. I would not be surprised if Newegg had internal quotas where x number of returns must be denied just to save on those costs. Or perhaps more likely, certain department managers are punished if they exceed x number of returns, thus incentivizing the denial of returns. It's also possible Newegg didn't even open it before denying the return. That might be even worse.

jisforjosh posted:That motherboard box was opened by a human being who has never interacted with a motherboard box before Jesus Christ Probably the original first buyer (though I wouldn't put it past Newegg to ruin a box at this point) considering that buyer is probably the one who damaged the socket (something I have never done in 20 years of PC building). That poor motherboard never had a chance in life, it's sad to see.

Steve has said he's planning to periodically audit Newegg's return policies. He knows how to use family and friends to do that stuff anonymously so those should be good reports. Showing up at their door with a camera was just good old fashioned 6 o'clock news stuff.

My dad had a very low end Acer laptop (with a Sempron CPU) but it obviously used the same case as that, without the red accents, and to this day it's the crappiest computer in terms of build quality that I have ever touched.

I think he was more upset by the added time it will take to fix the place up than by the cost, though of course time is money. But he gets content out of it either way.
