shaved linus, wearing earrings, 980ti's, SLI, this really is a throwback

@tovarischshashlikov

at this point linus is just fucking with us with no beard vs bearded linus, he is most CERTAINLY time-travelling via EVGA time travel kit

@bigandymc2007

When you held up the 4090 at 9:44 i honestly though it was an edit to make it oversized in comparison to the 980ti but then i remebered how big cards have got over last 10 years.

@therealCamoron

A PC from 2015 in 2025 is vastly more capable than a PC from 2005 in 2015.

@nugget-zf5by

Bro is actually time traveling rn lmao

@tommywang8229

Man this thumbnail really makes me thought it was 2017 again

@yvan2218

Holy cow linus even brought back the earrings. What a throwback

@maytinhtrungbac

That moment at 9:04 was pure nostalgia! The excitement of setting up the quad SLI bridge and maximizing the 3D performance is infectious. I love how you captured the sheer power of this setup and the fun of pushing old hardware to its limits. Calling it the 'Hummer of gaming machines' is spot on – this rig is a beast! It's awesome to see such a high-performance build from back in the day still holding up, even if it's a bit of an energy hog. Great content, as always

Getting my dad to understand that the 5k workstation he bought 10yrs ago is essentially a doorstop will forever be the bane of my existence.

@dustinsmith1134

Even adding the intro back in…super nice touch to match the throwback Linus and throwback board!

@calebthecashew343

lately these videos have been taking me back to 2016-2017. I actually love it so much

@Scarletpimpinhell

I love this channel. It makes me feel like it’s 2000 and I’m on the couch watching TSS on tech tv

@thatjokerperson7062

linus slowly reverting back to pre 2020 is great

@techunow

Watching this video feels like a blast from the past! From shaved Linus to those 980ti's in SLI, it's like we're back in the golden era of PC building. Nostalgia overload!

@jameshogge

10 years ago... I might well have had a "Dream PC" wishlist back then with exactly this hardware. It's about the time I started looking at components to build my first

@kh_trendy

19:14 I was rocking a 980 ti in my rig for years. It's about on par with a GTX 1070. It won't blow your socks off, but it's all a decent card for 1080p.

@sourcan8664

YOOOOO THEY BROUGHT BACK THE INTRO

@hateasuka

Love when you guys show off old school top of the line tech, and how the industry either went away from it in this case or actually stuck to it

@aronetl977

In reality, this video was filmed 10years ago, and Linus stole a 3090ti and a 4090 from the future.

@michaelm5203

Yo this gets me excited. I still dabble with my 5820k oc’d to 4.6ghz. It’s lived at that speed with nearly daily gaming since I bought it. There might be a lot to gain in upgrading but my build is sufficient for what I do currently
