00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:08.120
you know I'd forgive you for thinking video cards these days are all such

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:14.719
conformists plastic shrouds everywhere two to six heat pipes your choice of

00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:19.439
blower or two to three fans and that's

00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:21.439
it where has the style gone to China

00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:26.960
apparently with some help from our friends at NVIDIA we Tracked Down the

00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:32.680
five most mold-breaking graphics cards of the current generation many of which

00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:36.920
are aren't available in North America at

00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:39.490
all for your viewing perhaps gawking

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:44.479
even

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:53.480
pleasure cooler Master's 25th

00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:56.840
anniversary edition Cosmos 2 features a

00:00:53.480 --> 00:01:01.600
unique dual curved tempered glass side

00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:04.320
panel check it out now at the link below

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:11.200
okay so some of these cards are actually fairly well known by now and pallet Colm

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:13.080
X GTX 1050 TI is one of them it was

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:20.439
first announced back in February of this year and sports no fan whatsoever just a

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:23.040
rather sizable heat sink and two lengthy

00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:27.439
heat pipes that means that case clearance might be an issue if you

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

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:36.880
Heat hpe we measured 13 and A3 CM not a

00:01:34.360 --> 00:01:42.720
problem for wider desktop cases like a defin R5 but definitely a consideration

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

00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:53.680
MSI and it's got the same specs but a pretty different approach while it also

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:59.320
Sports a dual slot design with roughly the same overall length if you count the

00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:02.520
cooler its width is much less and the

00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:03.920
card itself self is half height so as

00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:08.280
you might expect it comes with a lowprofile bracket out of the box which

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

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

00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:24.319
that it'll generate some noise but we shouldn't actually see any thermal

00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:26.519
throttling and in our testing these two

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:31.000
were actually neck and neck the whole time which really shouldn't come as that

00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:36.959
much of a surp priz given that they're otherwise identical but what did blow us

00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:39.400
away is that pallet comx actually ran

00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:45.120
slightly cooler than the lowprofile actively cooled MSI and this is in a

00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:48.040
closed case working our way up the

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:55.000
ladder this one should be very exciting to small form factor enthusiasts we've

00:02:50.440 --> 00:02:57.080
got the GTX 1070 Katana from Galax while

00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:04.120
not appreciably longer than a Founders Edition GTX 1070 the katana takes up

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:06.760
only a single slot thanks to its heavy

00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:11.959
use of copper and aluminum to make the whole shroud part of the cooling setup

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

00:03:14.440 --> 00:03:20.599
iio and also just out into your case and

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:25.680
they even managed impressively to include three outputs meaning you're not

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:31.680
losing out as far as connectivity goes all this and without a back plate but

00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:37.400
how does it measure up performance-wise well shockingly it's actually right up

00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:41.840
there with our Founders Edition though The Thermals leave a lot to be desired

00:03:39.959 --> 00:03:46.760
and it screamed like we were smashing its toes with a hammer the whole time

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

00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:58.760
have some sound isolation or really at all unless you really need a single slot

00:03:53.959 --> 00:04:04.400
card next up then is a pair of freaking

00:03:58.760 --> 00:04:07.400
heavy GTX 1080s from Ino 3D and colorful

00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:10.879
and I do mean pair because these cards

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:12.879
are strikingly similar with the in3d I

00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:19.919
chill and Hercules airboss Behemoth whatever it's

00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:26.800
called sporting not one not two not

00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:30.080
three but four fans for um reasons I

00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:31.800
guess but hey maybe with the 150 MHz

00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:37.800
Factory overclock they're on to something and finally the RGB ey chill

00:04:34.919 --> 00:04:42.160
logo indicates GPU load automatically which is kind of cool even though we

00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:48.039
would prefer Direct Control it's colorful twin here the iigame xtop has a

00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:53.080
distinctive feature of its own check this

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:55.440
out it's got a turbo button ah that

00:04:53.080 --> 00:05:00.680
brings me back to a simpler time when PCS were beige and Windows was up to

00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:05.240
version 95 anyway this card comes in a surprisingly

00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:11.240
well-written if somewhat rambling box with no specs whatsoever we hit up the

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:14.240
website and whoa the website is coming

00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.759
to hit us a surprise that sounds painful

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

00:05:18.520 --> 00:05:25.639
go the turbo button actually boost the clock speed by about 100 MHz neat I'm

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

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:34.440
performance it still actually fell little bit behind the Ino 3D eye chill

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:39.360
which manag better numbers across the board clearly that fourth fan is uh

00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:46.600
working wonders finally our craziest card yet

00:05:43.080 --> 00:05:49.880
the 1080 TI based colorful AME wow this

00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:53.160
thing weighs a lot Vulcan X and Holy

00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:54.479
balls is that a three slot card okay

00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:58.880
technically no because it doesn't have more IO over there but the cooler does

00:05:57.039 --> 00:06:04.240
definitely cover up the slot directly underneath so like the xtop the Vulcan X

00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:10.800
comes with a turbo button that bumps the Boost clock to 2 GHz then aside from

00:06:08.039 --> 00:06:16.160
some gamery fans we've got six heat pipes uh connected to two heat sinks

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

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:25.000
GeForce logo that's a screen baby a

00:06:22.520 --> 00:06:31.160
pretty crappy old school LCD screen but a screen nonetheless does your graphics

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:33.280
card show fans speed core temperature

00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:38.440
core frequency and memory usage conveniently on a little hardto read

00:06:35.880 --> 00:06:44.039
display inside your Tower instead of in a sensible software interface no well

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.840
neither does ours because there's no software in the box and none on the

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

00:06:51.400 --> 00:06:59.000
boost get you over a regular 108ti well looks like significant gains

00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:03.440
in synthetics and real world numbers a couple frames higher than our Founders

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:07.960
Edition and to its credit by the way it even when overclocked stayed very very

00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:12.120
cool though with a heat sink this big that shouldn't exactly be a shock so

00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:15.879
there you have it six totally non-mainstream graphics card designs

00:07:14.280 --> 00:07:21.199
some are similar to ones that were once popular like low profile single slot or

00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:25.800
passive but with more performance than we've ever seen in these form factors

00:07:22.960 --> 00:07:31.639
before While others take more let's say dramatic approaches so would you buy any

00:07:28.440 --> 00:07:33.039
of these Hot Topic versions of graphics

00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:36.960
cards or would you rather just stick with comfortable Conformity let us know

00:07:35.080 --> 00:07:43.120
