Where is a good spot for reviews on video cards. Haven't been able to find a good review. Miss the Tech Report before it went downhill.
Do they still post here? What are their handles here?GN is my go to site for video cards. Babeltech is good too, and was started by longtime forum members here.

Three flaws:GamersNexus is about as good as it gets, IMO: https://www.youtube.com/user/GamersNexus/videos
Yeah, he does ramble. He seems really good at investigative journalism, but I still trust his hardware reviews more than any other YouTuber I've found. I like GN and Moore's Law is Dead for hard tech news and Jayz2Cents for goofyness. I've all but given up on Linus.Three flaws:
His conclusions sometimes lack perspective and are kind of poor, although he improved a bit recently
He can't concentrate information for sh#t
Can't review budget hardware properly
LTT is great at covering every new little thing and informing us about those. He's basically unmatched.Yeah, he does ramble.

The person who created babeltechreviews (formerly alienbabeltech) is apoppin. He left here a long time ago and doesn’t have a very good reputation among most who have been here long enough to remember him. I personally don’t trust his results whatsoever knowing his history here and with his website.
Yeah, that was a mess and I think cost him some credibility. I still like him for fun builds, something I definitely don't do. I don't like the WAN show in general, but I'll check out some segments from time to time. Linus seems to be a mess off-script on a Friday evening.Jayz2Cents is just so click baity, and is always jumping to some conclusion without actual proof. Like when he posted a video about igorslab video and the burning connectors where he immediately proclaimed that "igor found the issue!!?!?!?!", even though igor didn't, and did not claim as much.
Linus reviews are almost more like OPEDs. They are fine for what they are, but rarely have any detailed info. But I do like some of the other random videos that LTT has, and I like the WAN Show.
I really like TPU because of the way they list their charts for everything. Makes it super easy to compare things. GN has lots of very detailed info, but its a bit harder to consume.

Not only LTT covers new tech fast and explaisn new concepts well, but LTT also dives into a lot of more obscure tech liek old Ostendo ultrawide monitor from last decade. There's just no one like LTT that would cover that stuff. And so many more things. It's really hard to dislike LTT, when you realize that its great at their own niches. I would first consider Greg, JayZ, Bitwit redundant than LTT.Yeah, his technology concept videos are pretty good, things like "What is DDR5" and such. Their "regular" computer building/testing content doesn't do it for me. It strikes me as low/medium quality content with high production. The staff is really hit or miss for me as well. Anthony does a pretty job when he hosts, and I like a lot of the other folks whose names escape me, but Linus and his wife can be hard to watch, and Jake is... not my speed. They all seem nice enough, I just want either straight up information or angry, grizzled commentary.
But hey, no hate for anyone who likes LTT. They're in the pantheon of tech channels.
Lately I've been using Tom's hierarchy for a companion across my ancient card vs the newer cards:
