I put a $3000 GPU in my Average PC... It Was a Mistake

Linus opens the video at 0:00, explaining his plan to test a $3,000 GPU in an average PC. At 1:00 he acknowledges the sponsor, then at 1:22 he shows the baseline performance of his mid‑range build. At 2:16 he upgrades to the RTX 5090, and at 4:45 he pairs that card with a high‑end CPU to see the impact. At 6:33 he compares the AMD 9070 XT, and at 8:39 he discusses a more balanced upgrade strategy. The sponsor segment returns at 9:21, and the video concludes with credits at 10:18.
