1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:08,120
you know I'd forgive you for thinking video cards these days are all such

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:14,719
conformists plastic shrouds everywhere two to six heat pipes your choice of

3
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:19,439
blower or two to three fans and that's

4
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:21,439
it where has the style gone to China

5
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:26,960
apparently with some help from our friends at NVIDIA we Tracked Down the

6
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:32,680
five most mold-breaking graphics cards of the current generation many of which

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:36,920
are aren't available in North America at

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:39,490
all for your viewing perhaps gawking

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:44,479
even

10
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:53,480
pleasure cooler Master's 25th

11
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:56,840
anniversary edition Cosmos 2 features a

12
00:00:53,480 --> 00:01:01,600
unique dual curved tempered glass side

13
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:04,320
panel check it out now at the link below

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:11,200
okay so some of these cards are actually fairly well known by now and pallet Colm

15
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:13,080
X GTX 1050 TI is one of them it was

16
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:20,439
first announced back in February of this year and sports no fan whatsoever just a

17
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:23,040
rather sizable heat sink and two lengthy

18
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:27,439
heat pipes that means that case clearance might be an issue if you

19
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:34,360
decide to pick one of these up since from the card's Edge to the end of the

20
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:36,880
Heat hpe we measured 13 and A3 CM not a

21
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:42,720
problem for wider desktop cases like a defin R5 but definitely a consideration

22
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:48,600
for a home theater PC and we have another GTX 1050 TI too this one's from

23
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:53,680
MSI and it's got the same specs but a pretty different approach while it also

24
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:59,320
Sports a dual slot design with roughly the same overall length if you count the

25
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:02,520
cooler its width is much less and the

26
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,920
card itself self is half height so as

27
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:08,280
you might expect it comes with a lowprofile bracket out of the box which

28
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:13,680
means it's a viable option for a cheap 2u video transcoding box or one of those

29
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:19,160
slim PCS that were so popular a couple of years ago it's twin fan design means

30
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:24,319
that it'll generate some noise but we shouldn't actually see any thermal

31
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:26,519
throttling and in our testing these two

32
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:31,000
were actually neck and neck the whole time which really shouldn't come as that

33
00:02:29,239 --> 00:02:36,959
much of a surp priz given that they're otherwise identical but what did blow us

34
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:39,400
away is that pallet comx actually ran

35
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:45,120
slightly cooler than the lowprofile actively cooled MSI and this is in a

36
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:48,040
closed case working our way up the

37
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:55,000
ladder this one should be very exciting to small form factor enthusiasts we've

38
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:57,080
got the GTX 1070 Katana from Galax while

39
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:04,120
not appreciably longer than a Founders Edition GTX 1070 the katana takes up

40
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,760
only a single slot thanks to its heavy

41
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:11,959
use of copper and aluminum to make the whole shroud part of the cooling setup

42
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:18,360
it's got a single blower fan to exhaust case out these tiny holes in the rear

43
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:20,599
iio and also just out into your case and

44
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:25,680
they even managed impressively to include three outputs meaning you're not

45
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:31,680
losing out as far as connectivity goes all this and without a back plate but

46
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:37,400
how does it measure up performance-wise well shockingly it's actually right up

47
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:41,840
there with our Founders Edition though The Thermals leave a lot to be desired

48
00:03:39,959 --> 00:03:46,760
and it screamed like we were smashing its toes with a hammer the whole time

49
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:51,239
this card is definitely not one that you'd want to use in a case that doesn't

50
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:58,760
have some sound isolation or really at all unless you really need a single slot

51
00:03:53,959 --> 00:04:04,400
card next up then is a pair of freaking

52
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:07,400
heavy GTX 1080s from Ino 3D and colorful

53
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:10,879
and I do mean pair because these cards

54
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,879
are strikingly similar with the in3d I

55
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:19,919
chill and Hercules airboss Behemoth whatever it's

56
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:26,800
called sporting not one not two not

57
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:30,080
three but four fans for um reasons I

58
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,800
guess but hey maybe with the 150 MHz

59
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:37,800
Factory overclock they're on to something and finally the RGB ey chill

60
00:04:34,919 --> 00:04:42,160
logo indicates GPU load automatically which is kind of cool even though we

61
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:48,039
would prefer Direct Control it's colorful twin here the iigame xtop has a

62
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:53,080
distinctive feature of its own check this

63
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:55,440
out it's got a turbo button ah that

64
00:04:53,080 --> 00:05:00,680
brings me back to a simpler time when PCS were beige and Windows was up to

65
00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:05,240
version 95 anyway this card comes in a surprisingly

66
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:11,240
well-written if somewhat rambling box with no specs whatsoever we hit up the

67
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,240
website and whoa the website is coming

68
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,759
to hit us a surprise that sounds painful

69
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:20,720
let's see what else we got here RGB Lighting on the logo and uh oh here we

70
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:25,639
go the turbo button actually boost the clock speed by about 100 MHz neat I'm

71
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,600
not sure though why you wouldn't run it that way all the time because as for

72
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:34,440
performance it still actually fell little bit behind the Ino 3D eye chill

73
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:39,360
which manag better numbers across the board clearly that fourth fan is uh

74
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:46,600
working wonders finally our craziest card yet

75
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:49,880
the 1080 TI based colorful AME wow this

76
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:53,160
thing weighs a lot Vulcan X and Holy

77
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,479
balls is that a three slot card okay

78
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,880
technically no because it doesn't have more IO over there but the cooler does

79
00:05:57,039 --> 00:06:04,240
definitely cover up the slot directly underneath so like the xtop the Vulcan X

80
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:10,800
comes with a turbo button that bumps the Boost clock to 2 GHz then aside from

81
00:06:08,039 --> 00:06:16,160
some gamery fans we've got six heat pipes uh connected to two heat sinks

82
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:22,520
which on its own would be impressive but what is that on the side next to the

83
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:25,000
GeForce logo that's a screen baby a

84
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:31,160
pretty crappy old school LCD screen but a screen nonetheless does your graphics

85
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,280
card show fans speed core temperature

86
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:38,440
core frequency and memory usage conveniently on a little hardto read

87
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:44,039
display inside your Tower instead of in a sensible software interface no well

88
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,840
neither does ours because there's no software in the box and none on the

89
00:06:45,479 --> 00:06:53,759
English version of the website I still got to give them points for originality though anyway how much does a 2 GHz

90
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:59,000
boost get you over a regular 108ti well looks like significant gains

91
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:03,440
in synthetics and real world numbers a couple frames higher than our Founders

92
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:07,960
Edition and to its credit by the way it even when overclocked stayed very very

93
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:12,120
cool though with a heat sink this big that shouldn't exactly be a shock so

94
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,879
there you have it six totally non-mainstream graphics card designs

95
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:21,199
some are similar to ones that were once popular like low profile single slot or

96
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:25,800
passive but with more performance than we've ever seen in these form factors

97
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:31,639
before While others take more let's say dramatic approaches so would you buy any

98
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:33,039
of these Hot Topic versions of graphics

99
00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:36,960
cards or would you rather just stick with comfortable Conformity let us know

100
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:43,120
