When MSI clearly exaggerate there GPU performance. Funny

Tomgang · Mar 31, 2024

So to make a story short. I was over at a friend today to get som good easter food and spend some time together, as we have not had much time for this the past year to do so.
When he showed me he´s collection of older hardware. X58, LGA 775, AM1 systems, old ati and Nvidia GPU´s and even a pair of old Voodoo cards.

But this thread is a bout a particular GPU. A MSI GTX 1060 3 GB with a slogan that is clearly a lie back then and today as well.

So behold the card MSI back then claimed was the most powerful card... such a lie :laugh:

So just read the slogan or warning...

For those asking, where there really any meaning ful point with this thread. No not really, only point is that i think you could get a good grin out of it and see when marketing so openly lies.

If that card is here to kick ass, what are my 4 slot chunky boi RTX 4090 so here for. Eat the dust from the gtx 1060 3 GB when it runs around my RTX 4090 in cirkles...

Huh, thats crazy I've watched the same themed video on one of the tech YT channels I follow like 30 mins ago.
You don't happen to be his friend do you? :laugh:

Nope i do not know him in person. He lives in the UK and i am from Denmark. So two different countries, all throw Denmark is not that far from UK.

No it's not a waste. Do you have any idea of how demanding Pacman and Tetris is at 480P low settings?

On a 3GB 1060 no less, one of the most FTC suit worthy products Nvidia has released.
Also what is with the Google Chrome stickers on the fans? :wtf:

Chrome logo only has 3 spokes, that has 6. More like an aperture.

Like… guys, I am looking to buy a GPU, Hot Topic is down the street.
Oh, and they also describe the heat-pipes on the cooler as “hyper-conductive”, which also is… a bold claim.
