    I got a non-working Dell XPS with Intel Core i7-7700, so I rebuilt it with ewaste and spare parts.

    that dell xps is so similar to my Alienware pc with my dual gpus with an 11th gen i7

      There are a few projects ahead of it, but I imagine you'll like the upcoming one where I'll be upgrading a single janky Core i7-3770 tower server to a stack of dual Xeon blade servers and disk shelfs, recovered from ewaste that sat out in the rain :)

    I like the new visual style and name, keep it up! About the video itself, I have to say one thing: Thanks AMD for bringing the heat to Intel and restarting competition in the CPU business.

    Wait question did you went to a e-waste disposal and ask for parts? or what did you do? I’m building a pc from trash pleases to but this time on America lasts time I did it was on Europe and manage to build a nice pc slowly evolving from component ether from trash or giving free to me

      You really need to either work for, or have a relationship with a company that processes ewaste. Some places will sell you parts if you ask, but most will not. Most of the time you need to build a relationship with a place that does. And almost always you still need to pay for it, but generally it's extremely cheap in relation to buying online. They paid either nothing, or almost nothing for ewaste (and some places even got PAID to take it!) - so if they make a few bucks off you its an easy profit for them, and great value for you. But I say you need a relationship, because most places don't want random people off the street in their facility, so they need to know and trust you beforehand.

      Haha, thank you! Good motivation for me get on the server build I'm planning, all will be built with trash servers that were left out in the rain, lol.

    Throw the Gt750 in as a secondary GPU then u can use it to help render your work and games can use it as a Physx Card and leave the 1660 all to just graphics and the gtx750 to do the physx

      Most software will only use one GPU at a time; we need more developers making multi-GPU options available :)

      @@rebootretro Well most rendering software will use as many gpus as u can throw at it , and any game with physx made since 2008 will use the two cards , u can run them in sli in some dx12 titles even tho they two different gen cards, it will work with AMD and Nvidia mix also. Not only that but even if a program or game that doesn't use the second GPU the VRAM on the second gpu will still be used, even if the gpu isn't being used. Most Mainstream Rendering programs have multi gpu support, I don't know many that don't. I've built many render rigs for customers that I never heard no to adding another gpu if laying around and in good condition...

      I just checked, and it looks like Resolve does support multi-GPU - I didn't know that! I know Premiere can't use both, but that might be my old version limitation. I never thought about VRAM, that alone could be worth installing a spare card if the system is capable of using the VRAM. I'll have to do some more research into this, thanks for the insight!
      There's also I neat project I remember reading about a while back... It was a custom open source software/driver that allowed you to SLI any Nvidia cards, regardless of model/tier/class. It did it through the PCI bus like Crossfire does, so it doesn't require an SLI bridge. From what I recall it was a little buggy, but really neat none the less.

      ​@@rebootretro lol I was thinking about the Vram when writing my comment last night. I was lying in bed last night wondering if i stressed the vram enough or not lo. Ok well DX12 can do the support for SLI between multiple brands and tiers of gpu cards no problem. unfortunately it only works on a game or 2 atm. I did try it out With a Gtx 770 and a gt1050ti and it really worked well. So the support is there at the API level and games only need to add the support, and from my understanding that doesn't take to much additional work since all the hard work is already done at the DX12 layer and has it in the codes foundation.
      Hopefully like u said companies will make multi GPU a thing as more and more ppl start to demand it because a lot of ppl have multi GPU setups not for gaming but to mess around at home with editing and now AI. I have my own chatgpt4.5 AI running locally on my pc and it can access the internet freely i even gave it google search Api access. It is kind of scary what this AI can do when given limited to no restrictions.
      One thing before i forget you should look into Nvidia Cuda cores and getting cards that have them they can help speed up a lot of things like even running a search through your hard drives files , but i heard that video editing work benefits from their use and when combining another card with them the work only get quicker...

      That's a great idea for a video. 1660 + dedicated PhysX card (GTX 750 Ti) vs just the 1660. I've seen some mixed results.
