Who Knew Upgrading a GPU Was So Easy?

I’m going to jump to conclusions like usual and assume that most people visiting our site know how to install a graphics card. In fact, I’m sure most know how to build a computer from scratch. Often considered to be difficult by the layman, building a PC is actually quite simple. I like to compare it to building something from Lego. It’s fairly obvious where most pieces fit, with potential complications being things like the ATX chassis connectors, or installing the CPU cooler.

But, believe me, it’s easy. It’s not only me saying this, though, but AMD as well. The company is taking it just one step further, and claims that installing a GPU is so easy… even a monkey can do it. Yes, you read that right.

The company got a cute monkey, Louie, to not only take the side panel off of the machine, but to install a brand-new single-slot GPU. You know he did good, because he smiles afterwards, and even loads up the machine and installs the Catalyst drivers. The monkey then wastes no time at all in loading up some movies and Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X.

Though I don’t particularly agree with it, one comment that struck me funny in the comments thread is from YouAreThick, “ATI – You shouldn’t be using monkeys for advertising, Louie would obviously be put to better use working on your appalling drivers.“.
