~~⚠️ De-clickbait-ify the youtube titles or your post will be removed!~~

~~Floatplane titles are perfectly fine.~~

~~LTT/LMG community. Brought to you by ******... Actually, no, not this time. This time it's brought to you by Lemmy, the open communities and free and open source software!~~

~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

Yes, if you buy product X tested on whatever YouTube channel, your mileage may vary.
However, LTT had several graphs where they showed egregious performance increases in newer models of graphics cards compared to older ones. Somebody drawing a conclusion just from the relative performance increase of over 200%, even if the numbers would've been slightly off otherwise, will be more likely to make a bad decision based on the relative (non-existent) insane performance increase.
