Legit Chinese Graphics Cards? Hands on with the Yeston 3GB GTX 1060

- "Made in China" is something that's seen in a lot of products, and most people are okay with it. It sometimes carry a negative connotation, and really depends on the product. For cheaper and lower tech items it's not that big of a deal. Even things like generic action cameras and other mainstream electronics from China are generally accepted and sometimes quite popular. But what about higher end PC components? Like the GPU? I got a chance to check out a GPU from Yeston, a brand based in China I've never heard of. There is virtually no coverage of any of these cards online. Note, these are still Nvidia GPUs, the manufactures just equip it with custom coolers, PCBs, clock profiles, etc. I tested the Chinese card and compared it to an equivalent card I've used from one of the big US based brands. This video summarizes my findings and thoughts. Would you ever consider a Chinese GPU?

So it seems after I released this video, the card has 1) increased up to $400 (WHAT THE HECK?!?!?!) and 2) gone out of stock. I have no words for the current state of the GPU market -.-"
HOWEVER, assuming we one day return to normal pricing, everything else in this video still stands. I'm still going to be considering these Chinese brands if the price fits the bill.
Nerd on a Budget The card is £300 in the UK :/ The Zotac gtx 1060 3gb mini is only £205.99 on newegg. I think i made my choice.
man... i watched this video too late...I just had to work today..
TheOriginalWengerOut facts...bro I got so happy to get a GPU now I'm just sad
hahahaha
IMHO outside of the wait time on shipping, IF the card can handle running FurMark for 1 hour and remains below 90*c (NV) or 86*c (AMD) then it's totally worth getting one of these cards for how much cheaper they are compared to the current AIB cards.
Yep I have! I almost bought an RX 560D from them. Yeston and Colorful are popular brands in China iirc.
OzTalksHW agreed I bought a gainward gtx 1070ti and it’s a brilliant card. Was told about it from Chinese uni mates 👍 ps love both channels
+OzTalksHW colorful I've heard of and seen reviews for, Yeston I haven't, maybe Chinese people just don't care to make reviews for their stuff haha. On the flip side, can't wait for that $30 GTX 970 video you tweeted about lol, that and the scam 750 Ti video goes hand in hand with my initial thoughts about Chinese brands 😂
Gareth Watson Interesting. 10 years ago I bought a HD4850 from Gainward for my gaming PC. In germany it's not that unknown of a brand.
3frozen yeah it’s weird it’s 50/50 In the uk if people know them. Most people go for asus, gigabyte etc
Gareth Watson I looked it up their Europe office is in munich so no wonder they sell cards in germany and near countries. They also just briefly partnered with ATI/AMD back then and are now back to exclusively nvidia cards. They are also owned by palit which you can buy cards of here.
Great video Danny! I have a lot to learn about what's actually on the PCB as well, pretty cool that you removed it just to gain some knowledge.
Very good review!!! Thanks for taking the time to put this together
Finally a vid on them as you said CZcams isn't helpful so this vid is awesome keep up the great work
Dang if I have the choice, I would go for the Yeston 1060. It performs similarly like any other 1060 out there and it's a couple dollars cheaper.
Gio Too late The Crypto Miners just Bought out All VideoCards From Them They are Back logged 6-48 months in Orders !!!!!! Dang was going to get one !!! :(
The only difference is the lifespan (I don't know how it's spelled lol.
Sinci ;D Just like that ;)
Gio And most likely blow up your rig
60,000 subscribers!!! congrats, i love the videos
Great job man!
I love honest reviews, productwise as well as of your own capabilities.
props!
Now the Crypto guys are going to buy Yeston out of stock too lol
Once we confirm hashrates :)
Craig Jones can’t wait for cryptos to crash so shitheads like you aren’t eating up the gaming market.
Prism, it's not people like me, it's people with may more money drying out distributors before GPU's even land in stores. Get your shit together before attacking me. I know it's frustrating, but I'm paying the same stupid prices as you, and the small amount of cards I'm able to buy are NOT affecting you.
Craig Jones. You are eating up the gaming market. Stop putting the blame on others. All miners are the cause of this
lol Conor, keep crying, it just makes me smile
Company has been around forever, so has Colorful....the fact that most people have never heard of them shows how much the average user buys based on what is shoved in their faces non stop (or what they see other people using). Colorful was a popular brand at one time actually and they make great cards.
Great video. Interesting to see there seems to be viable Chinese options out there for GPU's.
I am an inspector for a Fortune 500 manufacturer, and thought it was very cool of you to post some high-res pics of the CCA (Circuit Card Assembly. PCB is just the card with all traces laid but w/o components installed, this is industry speak though). Looks like a fair to good quality build most likely done all by machine on an SMT line. Maybe the larger components had to be hand placed, but these days I doubt it.
Dude, I remember watching u when u just started. You have come a really long way from then! Keep it up!
$360, jeez it seems like yesterday when I picked up a gigabyte 1060 3GB for $175 from Newegg with a master pass promo. And we thought prices were bad back then!
Tell that to the me who bought a 1060 6GB Gaming X for 450USD back when it was just released.
I got my XFX RX580 8GB for about $200 in November of 2017.
I know man,it’s obscene and just feels wrong,wrong,wrong to reward a GPU company for their greed.
Loli Hunter です luckily I got my Rx480 just before the craze happened
Locks Rocks And What Nots LOL I paid 330 for my MSI one at Microcenter, and now they're 400 bucks
This video just earned the bell. 😉
+PC-aka FredDavis thanks man 🙏
Great bang-up review (pun not intended). Interesting stuff for sure! You did a great detailed review.
I watched a couple of your videos, and it was enjoyable (the music is spot on), and your enthusiasm is contagious! Keep it up.
i have a gtx 1050 ti 4gb from yeston, and it works really great to be honest
I came from China and I know that this brand is famous in China along with Colorful. Maybe do a review on a Colorful graphics card?
Is there a Colorful web site we all can look for ?
Jue Li website?
I used to have Colorful nVidia 7000-series back in the day, they came with Zalman 'flower type' gpu cooler...lol
en.colorful.cn/channels/103.html
Thats their site i believe, their cards must be fairly popular as i have seen them here in Australia in retail stores, they sell the iGame GeForce GTX1060 Vulcan X OC 6G in store and online in a lot of computer stores.
seen alot of colorful cards here in the UK aswell, mainly at local Computer fairs. Tempted to grab one to be honest!
Thanks for looking into this! Earned you a sub :)
This is EXACTLY what I want out of a tech review. Excellent. Subbed
Great video Danny - sold out on Bang Good, still looking for other sites though.
Thanks Neight!
It might be in stock on Gearbest.com
on Aliexpres it was 50$ cheaper
i have never heard of yeston, however the colorful motherboard which was shown in the search is actually a legit brand . colorful is quite a well known brand as well as in the aidian gpu market. i am from korea btw. oh also the most famous brands in the west and the east differ. galax is prob the most famous brand which westerners seem to not know off.
김성은 Galax actually has some market share in the West, their HOF series is very well received
mcslender oh i didnt know that. thanks for the information! i thought it wasnt known in the west becuz my european and american friends never heard of galax.
Yeah Galax is pretty known in the West.
Galax HOF cards look legit and have been tested around so they aren't unknown just not many around
Galax = KFA2 = cheapisch new brand for west
Hey, you’re awesome man, I enjoyed the video! Keep up the work🙏
Well done, again...very informative and pleasant to watch and hear (no fast rambling or annoying hard music). I'm a newbie concerning pc building and I'm very interested in what you've got to say. You're dog has a big influence too...;-)
Yes i have, from aliexpress, Yeston, Colorful and Maxsun are popular brands
I have a mobo from maxsun, i hope this will last long... at first I thought it was some fake brand but i think im wrong.
Franz Tinuviel i have the b350 pro form maxsun but i dont have all the part to finish my build
Nice job Danny!
Thanks Mike!
Nice Video. I was reaserching about Yeston and this video helped me a lot. Thx
Wo! This is such a brilliant and detailed review. Great work!
never heard that brand
Probably better. Just spend a couple bucks more to get a proper build with quality components. China loves to put literal shit together.
You should also check out the colorful cards sometime, and there are quite a lot of Chinese brands in China that more often than not perform better than some of the American counterparts.
Ep Kalaise Um, an Asus turbo card which has a blower cooler will run hotter and louder than an open air equivalent, therefore the boost clock will drop. Do some research before getting all toxic
Awesome video! I've always wondered about the authenticity of these cards.
Subscribed purely for the effort put into the video. Awesome stuff man keep it up!
It's $400 now :(
lol.
shit
It’s still better than anything on amazon or Newegg
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137037&cm_re=gtx_1060-_-14-137-037-_-Product
Not that much of an option if you live in Europe. when you buy stuff from outside of the European Union you get to pay VAT and customs tax. Makes stuff pretty expensive or more expensive.
Exactly its like 23% vat+6% duty +whatever fees they feel like adding on. its nearly 33% extra here to order out of country.
Glad Norway isn't in EU and we just raised the limit for taxfree online purchases as well.. A lot of these Chinese and other smaller sites you may as to get it sent as a gift though so you wont have to deal with it.
Very, helpful! I watched this after ordering it just to be sure after finding out Yeston is a chinese manufacturer, but you cleared things up. Great vid!
Fantastic! It's great for everyone that another company is making cards! Great video man! Keep them coming.
$300? I think I'd rather get a used GTX 970 on Craigslist or hardware swap for around $150-$225. At least in the US market.
Agreed, at the prices right now, I'd point people towards new. Until prices go back down, I'd think this may only be good for international viewers that live in places where parts are ridiculously overpriced and there is no used market
$400 now, lol
wow so expensive lol
yeah $400 now... I can just go down the shop and buy an ASUS 3gb 1060 for $280... was $300 cheap?! what the heck is going on in usa?!
+Joseph Stott The $400 Banggood GTX 1060 is even "Under restocking. It will be available soon.". Either these were bought up by some very desperate gamers, that could have had a GTX 1070 for that price liks two months ago or the miners found them still being profitable. Wounder which was the case...
I could get the 1060 here in Germany for under $350 which is still way over the $218 I could have gotten with with €20 rebate in early January, but $400 and still sold out is just rediculous considering customs are not even included.
The 2400G does not seem to be a bad deal after all...
Yeston is a legit brand. They often offer great graphics cards at somewhat more competitive prices. I still remember they once sold non reference(at least on par with reference build) 4gb GTX 760 that is cheaper than anyone's GTX 760 2gb. It's they are not really operating outside China.
good review ,with the rarity of gpu's on the market, i did look at these on ebay with interest; my local pc shop in portsmouth UK had more cards in their display models than on the shelves as stock ; keep up the good reviews !
Great video. This reminds me of my buddy comparing my car rims to his. I told him at the end of the day it doesnt matter what brand he has because both our car parts were made in the same factory and with the same process, the difference is just by design and name.
I knew I shouldve bought a 1060 3gb for 190 USD a few months ago
omg i of bought hat if i knew
I thought I was paying premium wren I got mine for 220. Glad I got mine when I did
I've heard of them from Phil's Computer Lab. If not for that channel, then no.
cmo380 oh yeah :D
Thank you for informative alternative vendor and/or market place coverage. Being informed and keeping an open mind has also served me well. I'm appreciative of those who break from the "mainstream" reviewer content. I'll take a moment to state that hardware should defined by it's usage, nor needing to keep up with the latest and greatest the best thing to do. i.e. need vs want
Very cool video. I've been looking at some of these cards lately like Power Color and other brands, but was affraid to try one. I'm happy to get some insight on these cards. I would still wait until prices as a whole come down and only try one for $120 or so. If I could save $50 dollars or more I would be tempted to try one of these.
I would pass on this for one main reason. Price. At $300, it isn't worth it. Nvidia will sell you a 1060 6GB Founders Edition for the same price. :/
+Tommy Ecotec agreed, $300 is too much, anything over MSRP I'd pass, but seems like the miners met have caught on to these as it was sold out when I scheduled this video to release
Now is 400 for some reason :/
Nerd on a Budget those miners are fucking unbelievably reckless.
i bought a 1060 3gb for 199€
nvidia is selling it for 500euros
Almost all PC stuff is Chinese right??
faisal rahmat Yea, except for maybe cpu's and some ram chips
It doesn't matter where or who made it since 90% of the items are made in china, what matters is who made it.
JustOneGuy i know, lot of low quality stuff came from China, but am pretty sure there is lot good stuff from there too, people always notice the bad thing much easier...
a shit ton of intel cpu's are made in israel and most of the parts are made in taiwan and flown to china for assembly, and there are a few taiwanese companies in china that do manufacturing
My nipples are made in Mexico though....
INTRO ANIMATION IS AWESOME! THANKS BRO
Good video bro. I'm glad you dug into this one.
I bought a 1070 from Colorful for 380 and got better result than one from MSI for 490 . www.bilder-upload.eu/show.php?file=19ae19-1517952521.jpg
I use to buy all my AMD cards from them back in the day.. lol though they went out of business.
theres no point of your review abt made in china, both amd & nvidia big boss are chinese, so basically you were using made in china gpu alr..
Bro you did justice to this review...awesome! And your voice, it's hot!
Dude, this video was thought out. Keep it up!
No , i haven't heard about them , but that means nothing , i know couple local brands that you never heard of , and my whole country would be considered some small village in China :-)
same
yup
Banggood is a scam when it comes to certain items. I never really saw any bad reviews of them, so I bought a phone from them made by "ulefone." It ended up getting bricked after a software update, and when I tried returning it, i had to go through a really long and awful return process. The phone worked for about 4 days, but the return process took about a month...
yeah that's pretty common, you can get stuff cheaply, but if it fails you have a better time if you know how to fix it yourself.
I've bought thousands of dollars of stuff from them, including phones, never had a major problem. Where something was (very rarely) falsely advertised, they ended up doing a refund. So I'm a happy camper and would recommend using them to anyone really. You just need to use common sense
CesculuS_MoronicuS It's not that something is falsely advertised. It's the non-trustworthy products they sell. Take it from a guy who's been basically scammed by them. I don't care if you have had products from them that have worked, does my product work? No. End of story.
joe nodden right, but this will happen to every online retailer, even the good ones. What separates the good from the average and downright shitty, is how they deal with it. In my case, they have given me refunds. But I haven't had to ask too often.
Ah user error while updating
Great vid bro. Nice test, that's what i would do. keep up the good work.
Nice content there, glad I suscribed !
So can the miners buy these so we can have some name brand GPUs? 👀
Looks like they have, it's sold out atm
Can they buy graphics cards without GPU so they can fuck off already?
Love your videos but I can't afford a PC:(
Jay Wong same dude
Need to start looking through craigslist and offer up for older PC's for $50 and under, and then just part out the kits until you have what you want. I usually see 4-5 year old PC's that are capable of running modern titles for around $50ish every once and awhile. Also NOAB has great tutorials for getting great rigs at low cost. Hope that helps, cheers!
If you can save up a bit of cash on the side, you'd be surprised the kind of stuff you can find on ebay and craigslist. Im currently building an extra computer for my living room and so far only wasterd about $200 for a GTX 580 3GB, Gigabyte 990fxud3 R5, 8GB fury x ram, FX 6350 and a 1TB ssd. All used parts I got for cheap. You just gotta be persistent and check every day for new deals, especially on eBay.
Jay Wong I been there fellas it’s stuff I jus kept socking my lil pennies away until I managed to build one and look at it this way my first build I pieced together I couldn’t afford to buy everything at once so I’d buy my cpu then mobo so on so on until I had all the parts and doin that made the building experience so much fun and I had such a great appreciation for my work when I finished so hang in there I wish you guys the best
I'm still rocking with my BSEL modded Intel Pentium E2160 and vmodded ATI HD4670(19'' HP 1280x1024). I can play AAA games well like The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion/Skyrim, The Witcher 2, Dragon Age 1/2/3 and Fallout 3/NV/TTW. Too bad I can't play Fallout 4 or The Witcher 3, because my GPU doesn't support DX11, but I can watch ''Let's play'' videos and it's almost like playing the game. At least I'm not a console peasant.
Very informative and you cite your sources well, good video!
subscriber earned.... watched a few of your vids months ago... but this really turned the page for me...
Please try buying a graphics card from "geek"
Dimann why?
DHtechHD because they're really cheap and I'd like to see a proper review, it would be interesting
Dimann I went on geek and they had a yeasten gtx1070ti for less than 200
Paperdave what is geek?
1070ti goes for 720 euros here
honestly i think nvidia recently taught us that a 10 series gpu is a 10 series gpu no matter who makes it, nvidia will simply not license their shit to companies that cant make that stuff in whatever nvidia considers satisfactional quality.
NVIDIA makes all the GPU's, there's not "who makes it" or "license their shit that can't make that stuff" they make all the GPU's, the other companies just take that GPU put it on a PCB and put a cooler on it, that's it.
M4XC4V413R4 Exactly. You could pretend to be a company buy the GPU chips, put them on literal dog shit that your golden retriever just shit out, and NVIDIA would never care so long as you paid for the chips.
Paul Goodwill the Chinese don’t bother licensing anything. They buy one unit and reverse engineer it then mass produce it at a lower price. The Chinese don’t care about patents.
Well dont get your panties in a twist we all know nvidia makes the chips, so when i say gpu i mean the final product i thot that was obvius, and no Chinese cant reverse engineer the chips, well maybe not cant but wont cuz thats just not worth it, so yes the companies that make nvidia gpus (i mean the final product again) do have to get the chips from nvidia thus they need nvidias license.
M4blablabla well and you are just plain wrong.
Awesome vid dude, subscribing!
Thanks for making an actually informative video about this card!
Chinese finally got it rite ?
Seems they've been getting it right, in regards to GPUs anyway, for nearly a decade now. Assuming their earlier cards worked just as well
Chinese have been getting it "rite" for a while now, bruh.
Hubert Just think you should know that there is a massive difference between something made for the american market and something made for the Chinese market. Try watching a crash test of a Chinese car made for the Chinese market. Looks like a beer can someone stomped on.
It's not "Chinese GPUs" There's no such thing as that. It's "Chinese Graphics Card maker" using NVIDIA GPUs. Seriously, u kids nowadays needs to know how to differentiate between who made the GPUs & who makes the whole card. If u say it's all the same, then the chinese have been doing it for a long time...Asus(Taiwan chinese, still a chinese) MSI(Taiwan chinese, still a chinese) & those who had come & gone too. Geez!
Noor Ok you can chill tf out.
Really well made video, good stuff.
I had heard of Yeston before. Still watched the video though.
Good video, dude.
this guy is such a clichè for asians.
what does cliche mean
buy a dictionary!
Yeah i was waiting for him to eat a small poodle or something
NOTIFICATION SQUAD
Awesome video!!! I never knew about this company or that website to get parts.
Good video, first one I've seen from your channel, liked how you tested stuff, the fact that you showed the pcb, although your findings didn't surprise me as there's no reason for the hardware to be any worst on these, not to mention that the GPU chip has to be from NVIDIA and the memory chips have to be from one of 2 or 3 companies as there aren't any other memory manufacturers, and they're all good. I really liked your sound test, good way to set a benchmark.
Maybe those chinese yeston brands comes from their miners who got all the well known brands and then rebranding them after yrs of abusive usage, just to make the last juice of profit out of it before it dies out. lol
Sometimes. In china you need to watch out.
What load of BS!! You lie so you believe yourself..
All this miner hate and exaggerations, tragic.
Sebastian Hakansson Well, considering miners buy out alot of the GPUs and drive up the price what do you expect?
yeston has been there for more then 15 years. You don’t know a lot of things, yeston is just another one.
Not gonna lie, I was kinda skeptical of this video when I started (just now came across your channel), but then you did the GPU teardown and everything. Props on digging deeper and the fairly detailed analysis on a lesser-known product. Subbed.
Awesome video! Never seen or heard of these cards before. As for the question posed in the video, it would need to be at LEAST 40% below normal MSRP of standard cards for me to consider it. Wait time and build quality/brand reputation are the major factors for me personally. Thanks for the video!
Very thorough and professional. Nice job.
Thanks man, that was really interesting and informative !
Good work. Nice detailed presentation.
Good sir. I hope you grow in this community.
Taking one for the team
sweet. that cooler actually seems to be doing some good. nice review, guess im a sub now!
Great video mate :)
First video i saw of yours. Pretty impressive, no bullshit.
I'm new to the channel and love the videos Danny. Good quality and informative.
Great video, keep up the good work man.
Thanks for the Info Danny..great video bro.
Very good review. You just earned a sub!
I was thoroughly impressed with your video and all the information you conveyed to me. I'm hooked and subbed. I would consider buying this video card. $ is $.
You nailed it with what you said. I did the exact same research on yeston n basically came to the same conclusion. No videos on them and seemed strange but they been making cards for a while n something seemed good. I ordered an rx560 just to see… With that said, great video. I enjoy it and it was informative. Thanks!
Good quality video you seamed nervous but lets be really i would have been dieing but good job on the video you earned a sub
Never heard of that brand before, but man the design on it. x_x at least it lives up to the name! Good vid Danny.
pretty good content dude. Iv'e been looking or my tech youtubers also the Kernel Sanders board is amazing.
Hey Danny! What about Onda? I see a few GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti on Aliexpress from chinese brand Onda. Do you think they are legit?
I like the comparison of the box cutter to the sound of the pc, it better helps to hear how loud the card is. Thanks.
Well done video and review. Very comprehensive. Thank you.
Just found this channel. Great comparison!!
+1 Sub!
Great video bro!
Hey man. Been watching you since 10k subs. Keep up the great work!! (subbed longer on another account)
Great Video , been wondering about some of these Chinese brands
Nice video ....You just got a new subscriber.
Quite an insightful vid. I'm sure more vids like this could possibly help gamers in this current GPU market. But I also see from your comment that this vid seems to have shed light on the card's existence to the miners :(
