Title: Yeston GPU manufacturer
Post by: vlad230 on February 01, 2018, 08:53:12 AM
Yeston is a Chinese GPU manufacturer and they build both nvidia & radeon graphic cards.

Are any of you guys using their graphic cards? Have you had any issues with them?

A friend on mine has the RX 570 from them it works no issues. Cooling isn't as good as your regular brands so you need to key an eye on it but it does the job

I bought a large amount of their cards years ago and have regretted it ever since. Their 6990s had a tendency to suddenly catch fire while supposedly running at low temps. I resold a batch of 5870s and had to eat a significant loss on them.

Name brand stuff in China is generally ok but the "local" brands don't live up to anyone's expectations.

Unless they've done something massive to overhaul their quality, I'd stay well away from them.

Never heared about them, maybe this company uses second or third choice chips for their cards. So they will not be as performant then others, but I say maybe! So if you can get one cheap I would simply try it out and let us now :) Maybe some other people here in the forum have some experiences with these kind of cards?!

Thanks for the feedback guys!

The price is not that low to take a risk on them. I saw them in stock so, wondered if they're worth the money.

There are varying levels of quality even in the counterfeit goods markets ... Lol.

Is there any issues the compatibility with the Chinese version and using windows 10?  Linux probably works fine but I wasnt sure if there were any drivers that may have issues running or installing on Windows.

It gets picked up as a generic AMD card depending on which model the chipset is still the same just the design is different (worse) unfortunately the sub standard manufacturing leads to some issues sometimes

There are good things that come out of China, but as a US resident, I just use extreme caution.  Brand name stuff is 100% no go for me, if the source has not been vetted and verified.  There is way too much counterfieting going on over there.

And then the non/no name-branded unknown stuff is just a crap shoot.  It's either low quality or straight up does not work like you think it's going to.
