Brought a GTX 1650 from CEX not long ago, ended getting a OC ASUS variant of the card: increasing performance quite a decent amount for no extra cost. If you set your expectation to get the worst variant of the GPU: you will either not be disappointed or be quite happy.

Hi mate,you take all the time you need,have always loved your streaming style,we love you here in Australia 😊

you’re a wholesome dude to watch I love your content man. You definitely got me back into computers.

Great video! We have CEX here in Australia too and I'm a very big fan. Like you, I often walk away with insanely cheap and throwaway parts like the 4170!

Love the different location and backstage moments!

My first build, I planned and built for my son had a i5-8600k, 16gb Ram, and 1070 FE, it ran great, was used and cheap, that build has gone through some major upgrades since then, now on 12th gen i5-12600k, and a RTX 3080 :) nice vid, always nice to see older hardware still kicking :)

Love your videos man Hope we can see more in the future

always loved going into CEX as a wee lass, got to get some nintendo games on my 3ds and maybe a new handheld if i was lucky. great video!

Hey mate- absolutely love your videos- and a look at the across the pond prices and pc gaming culture. I just picked up a mystery box myself, 20 lbs of gpus on ebay, which I did a video about, but you seem to have better luck than me with your finds...all the best!

Nice to see a change of scenery, Steve!

The fact that the 1070 can hold it's own after so many years shows how much of beast the card still is especially given how it has more than double the ram of it's predecessor.

Looking well mate , been watching for years

Came for the GPU reveal, hooked by the potential of a GDK review, got a Waitrose meal deal review instead. What a roller coaster of emotion, and a superb video mate - keep it up!

Man, you are a legend!

Love ur content bro😊

Excellent video, a fairly new subscriber here and I'm loving the content, im also a fan of pushing old hardware as I'm a bit of a skinflint, the current pc I'm tinkering with was free from work and is a Lenovo M720s. I5 6 CORE, 8gb ddr4 and a 256gb ssd. With it being low profile it has the front panel and lid taken off to fit a 4gb Radeon 550 pulse graphics card. I'm quite surprised what i can get it run at 60fps but my monitor which was also free runs at 1600/900. All fun anyway and you should give Digital foundry a shoutout as it was on the weekly show that Richard leadbetter mentioned your channel. Many thanks, Chris Nearly forgot to mention, I've got that Msi graphics card in a shoebox in garage lol.

Good choice on the meal deal selection, some interesting flavours.

Our boy is looking good!

Great videos, very cool tech channel. Bought my PS4 Pro from Cex here in Portugal too

Pretty neat to see old GPUs from half a decade ago still going ok, but even better the fact that your Land Rover is still going strong : D

You got quite lucky there as the Gaming X is one of the better coolers, MSI even use the same one for the 1080ti. And it's nice to see you out and about, you buy so much stuff from CEX you might as well ask them if you can film there because you do a great job promoting their shops. It would be nice to have a budget building series where you go into a CEX store and try to build a PC using the parts you can get.

a vlog lol , never expected that . nice to see tho

big fan of this vlog-like style of video

You've inspired me sir; I dug out some old PC bits and bought some used items on Ebay to throw together a PC for me to experiment with Linux. I have a Xeon E3-1240 V2, B75 motherboard from an old office PC, Patriot 8GB DDR3 off Ebay, an old XFX 450W PSU from Ebay, my spare 1TB Samsung 870 I replaced with an M.2, a cheap 92mm Amazon CPU cooler, a really cheap CiT case, and finally my RX 6600 8GB I've just replaced with an RX 7800XT for my main PC. Excited to get stuck in, once some more bits arrive.

loved this series of gpu always thought the red and black looked really good

I enjoyed this new format btw.

Yay a new video! Also can you make an all CeX build like ram, ssd, processor and graphics card?

I bought a 9700f from cex a few years back and only realised they sent me the regular 9700 with intel igpu. Pretty cool!

As someone with a 1070 Strix, I'm looking forward to more 1070 videos, perhaps some comparisons to newer cards when it comes to considering what to upgrade to considering it's pretty safe to say that the 10 series is pretty much at the end of it's lifespan looking at minimum/recomended specs for new AAA games such as Starfield and Alan Wake 2 for more recent examples with Starfield having the 1070 Ti as minimum so the non ti 1070 would fail to meet minimum and same with Alan Wake 2 with a RTX 2060 being the minimum for 1080p 30 fps on the low preset and the 2060 would be at least a slight bump up from the 1070 for performance. When it comes to what to upgrade to I was advised to target a 2080 Ti, 3060 Ti, 3070 or 6700 XT/6750 XT to upgrade from my 1070 for like $300 to $350 CAD (Roughly 178 to 208 GBP according to google currency conversion.)

Yesterday was my last time with my 1070 after 6-7 years and I can say that it was a pleasure but it had to end. I decided to not go kamikaze on the budget and give AMD a chance and I don't regret it. So I bought a RX 5700 XT for 120$ and sold the 1070 for the same amount. Imagine that it gave me the 2X performance on literally all games and on 1440p. I did some research and found out that on the Nvidia chart is placed between rtx 3060 and 3060 ti without upscaling ( depends on the game, sometimes can be under them ). This card after 4 years after release still has some ass to kick on the second hand market as price/performance. So imagine how the performance will be if you go straight to something higher like a 2080 Ti, 3070, 6700/6750 XT. If I have to choose one I would be totally fine with either one of those but if I'm thinking about the future and the VRAM problem I can see that 8 GB VRAM wouldn't be enough soon...so at least I would raise the 300& to 400$ and start to look at RX 6800 16GB or the RTX 3080 10GB/12GB. Just to be sure that I don't need to upgrade so often in the nearest future just for 100$ difference. If you still want to stick with the 300$ then just go with the RTX 3070/3070 Ti. Your happiness will skyrocket either way limited or not by the VRAM in the most demanding games.

I'm still rocking this graphics card. I've had it for a few years now. It's done me well paired with my Ryzen 7 3700X. Plays all the games I need very well.

That sandwich tho.... 😂😂 That actually looked super good.

Another good video! :) Nice to see a full "shopping" tour! Got myself this week the little brother, an MSI GT 1030, low profile, passive, with the not recommended DDR4 setup... 😅 With intention! 😂 Has a lower power consumption, therefore it can replace the GT710 in my Fujitsu Futro S920 build... 😊

can't wait for the 4170 review. im looking to revive my first pc with the cpu i intended it to have from the factory but never got because they sent me the wrong one lol it was way better than my school laptop so i didn't complain... also because i had to carry the box from the neighboring city on foot which was way too much effort for 18-years-and-a-few-days-me. my arms never hurt so much after, i couldn't even lift a glass of water. im sure the record will stand for many many more years thankfully. looking foward to more sandwich reviews too.

I have that exact card in my PC right now. It's been awesome. Temps max around 75 in an NZXT h210i. Getting upgraded tomorrow.

Your trip to Cex was relatable and wonderfully British.

Nice wheels, love the cream interior, also i9 thanks to Asus, very nice indeed, alright for some! :-)

I bought my Gaming X 1070 when they were new, and it's still running strong today in my main system. Not many games I've come across that I can't run well and I'm sure it'll keep going for a few years to come

Love this red msi cards all of them.❤ i miss those coolers shame they dont use that style anymore.

When testing old graphics cards, its useful to test them in case as some cards are known to crack near the PCI socket and will work if there is no weight on them. I had one of these from CEX and it was a GTX 1070 from MSI. Good luck.

This GPU is still a beast! I have the slightly less powerful mobile version in my laptop from 2017 and I can still run most games at decent FPS and visual. The CPU (i7-6700HQ) didn't age as well as the card and is holding it back but it's great to be able to play games on a 6 years old laptop.

I bought a GTX 2GB 750Ti from CEX for £40, and I was expecting one with an external power connector, I ended up getting a MSI Twin Frozr Gaming OC one which didn't require external power, and I ended up using it in a HP Compaq 8200 that I had lying around and then bought a i7-2600 from CEX for £18 and then went to my local CEX one day to find 4 sticks of matching 4GB DDR3 G.Skill RipJaws X PC3-12800 for a total of £12

I recently picked up a GTX 1080 from my local CEX, and got the Palit Gamerock version, it's absolutely massive to the point where it nearly didn't fit in my case, runs very cool and quiet and didn't even need to repaste it, so clearly it wasn't used that much. Pairs relatively well with my i7 5930K. Oh and the meal deal, I agree with the choice of drink, the smoothie, those are very nice, not sure about the rest of it though, wouldn't have been my first choice.

I used an i3 4130 until embarrassingly recently. It actually ran games like GTA 5 at 1080p/low at playable frame rates.

sandwich sounds good but those xmas bakes from greggs would wipe the floor with that, god damn.

I have used CEX for loads of stuff, most recently an iPad but I got a GTX 550ti and GTX 750ti years ago. They were great.

I still have this MSI 1070 in an old i7-4700k box my son is using in his dorm. Still a great card, especially if 1080p is as high as you're going to go with your particular monitor.

That 1070 keeps up pretty good!

I used to work at CEX during the GPU prices skyrocketing, because it took a few weeks for prices to be readjusted, i was able to snag a 2080 that had been traded in during the midst of the chip shortage for mega cheap, granted after working there for a year i dont think i would ever buy anything again, we all had little jokes and sayings about other stores around the country and their reputation, some did their jobs of testing and making sure things were working prior REALLY well, others did an absolute horrendous job, its extremely hit or miss

We have CEX here in Australia as well !!

I bought my RTX 3080 from there when they were still new. I also sold it back after about a year. I went back and took a picture of it in the window a week later. CEX sold it to me for almost £2,000 at the time because of the shortage and they bought it back for around £550 and it was in the shop window for around £700.

Your hardware reviews are better than the food reviews ;)

I got a 970 for my little one a year ago from CEX, same MSI gaming version and the metal back plate was bent the same way :D

I came for the PC hardware but i stayed for the sandwich review, keep up the amazing work!

My RX580 Boosts to 1421MHz & will sit there all day no problem, my 1080Ti while MSI claim 1657MHz actually Self Boosts to 1974MHz without an OC & will easily top 2000MHz with an OC. Ps Although I have never thought to use them for PC parts & not sure how they compare price wise, we have had CEX down here in Australia for 11yrs now. They started in New South Wales expanding to Queensland + Australian Capital Territory with almost 30 stores.

pretty pimp wip life is good on that yt dollar u deserve it 💚

I got an I3 4160 for 1020 egp back in 2016 and you got a slightly better model for 1 pound in 2023. I feel kind of devastated right now 😂😂😂😂 but I must admit it ran modern games miraculously till I upgrade to another I3 10105f a few months ago. Terrific work with all the used parts shopping and funnily enough I have an msi z490 a pro.

Good buy and to be fair even if you go to the shop you don't know what model you will find. And if its a LP without or without the brackets it can be full size versions rather than LP as you are wanting and product pic suggested. It's really hit and miss. You can probably tell is a lesser version when you see the price difference for each version of that card.

ah yes the sandwich review haha, as usual amazing video

seeing that 1070 it really shows how huge modern cards are

I've always found CEX to be pretty good, I admit their prices are a wee bit high but that 2 year warranty, and never had an issue with anything I've ever got from them.

Naughty sandwich. Keep PC gaming alive RandomGaminginHD !!!! GG's.

CEX launched one shop this year in my country and the second shop launched about two months ago. The first shop is located inside the mall near my workplace. I got myself a GTX 1660ti for half the original price. Best upgrade to my old GTX 1060 3gb
