I'll stick to reviews languages I can understand because I can miss informations about his testing protocole. Though I'm not sure he really has one since he's putting his parts on the ground / table, and not in a real dedicated open test bench. That doesn't inspire trust / seriousness to me. You don't need a test bench to get results but that goes a long way to be seen as " real " tests in my opinion. To look more professional and to look more like he knows what he's doing and not just launching a bunch of games and calling that testing. You need to follow strict protocoles, because ambiant air might have risen or is already above some value, etc.
But the killer being that he's using "2K" to describe "1440p" which is a big no-no to me, people should know better than to let marketing say false things :/
I'm not criticizing him or anything to be clear I respect the time he spent, I just won't trust his results based on what I can see on his video. I'll wait patiently other reviews I know I can understand, trust and follow a protocole.
Jayz' channel is one of the more popular ones for PC stuff, but it's mainly because he does an OK job at giving layman explanations to the masses. He tends to generalize too much though and also blurts out random assumptions if he doesn't have the proper data ahead of time, only to have to backpedal later when those assumptions are called out for being incorrect, and shown why. If someone is first getting into building their own rigs, or they just want to know this stuff to know what to look for when buying a prebuilt or just general upkeep, or basic overclocking, he gives some decent basic advice. Beyond that though, people should look elsewhere.
I like him better than anybody else and that is better entertaining than GN. If anybody can prove him wrong by actually owning the 3080 FE card and doing the the tests he conducted.
