1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,960
the cine quinone of any gaming PC these days is the graphics card I mean there's

2
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:12,679
plenty of other cool components that you can throw in your rig but nothing quite

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:15,679
matches the experience of unboxing and

4
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:17,840
slotting in a new GPU to turn a

5
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:24,000
run-ofthe-mill computer into a gaming battle station but hold on a minute have

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:26,840
you ever wondered why we need a separate

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:32,680
GPU at all I mean instead of the whole PCI Express card Paradigm why haven't we

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:37,559
seen something like a dual CPU board where you can tell your computer to use

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:43,160
one CPU for CPU things and then the other CPU can be just for graphics I

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:47,239
mean are those big clunky cards really

11
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:51,399
necessary great question on the surface

12
00:00:47,239 --> 00:00:53,399
CPUs and gpus appear to be very similar

13
00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:58,920
they are both silicon based microprocessors mounted to a PCB with

14
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:03,760
heat sinks attached to them but when you look at their microarchitecture they

15
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:08,720
have some fundamental differences that make them suited for different roles

16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:13,439
inside your PC think of it like this many people go around carrying Swiss

17
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:18,520
Army knives everywhere they go because they're very useful multi-purpose tools

18
00:01:16,119 --> 00:01:23,040
they can cut things they can open wine bottles and even pick last night's

19
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:28,119
broccoli out of your teeth but suppose you're unlucky enough to need an

20
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:33,159
operation because you met with an unfortunate land party Act accident you

21
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:38,520
probably don't want the surgeon just flicking open a Swiss army knife and

22
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:44,040
going to town instead he or she will use a surgical knife or even a laser cutter

23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,840
they can't do all the things a Swiss army knife can but they're specialized

24
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:53,600
devices that can do one thing very very

25
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,880
well similarly your computer's main CPU

26
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:01,439
is good at doing lots of different things quickly modern PCS are very

27
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:07,240
general purpose machines that can do you know spreadsheets or write horrible

28
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:11,760
fanfiction or illustrate aforementioned horrible fanfiction make Skype calls

29
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:17,519
listening to deeply embarrassing music play games edit audio video the list

30
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:23,560
goes on because of this your CPU needs to be able to handle lots of random and

31
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,560
diverse instructions efficiently so that

32
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:32,319
you can multitask without wanting to pull your hair out gpus however are

33
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,400
really only there for one Purpose with

34
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:38,959
an asterisk to render Graphics which

35
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:41,720
involves doing millions of very similar

36
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:47,200
calculations at the same time in parallel because of this gpus are

37
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:52,040
focused more on Raw throughput than a CPU which is designed to be much more

38
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:57,080
versatile and and balance all these different workloads like a waiter with

39
00:02:54,599 --> 00:03:03,200
you know 18 plates stacked up on top of each other GPU architecture usually

40
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:05,680
features lots and lots of identical

41
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:10,280
compute units that deal with solving the similar mathematical functions that

42
00:03:07,799 --> 00:03:16,280
determine how a bullets trajectory or waving bra Blades of grass or whatever

43
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,319
show up on your screen in fact the

44
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,360
highly parallelized nature of a GPU has

45
00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:24,599
led to a growth in popularity of general

46
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:29,760
purpose Computing on graphics cards as well commonly known as

47
00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:31,480
gpgpu certain applications aside from

48
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:37,239
games this is where the asterisk comes in can take advantage of higher end gpus

49
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:41,959
things like Bitcoin mining or Stanford universi folding at home project which

50
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:46,720
calculates the way that proteins fold for disease research both of these

51
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:52,879
require the type of heavy number crunching that gpus excel at but while

52
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:57,000
gpus are finding uses other than just gaming you probably won't want to try

53
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,159
and run your operating system on a graphics card as the differences between

54
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:07,000
your GPU and CPU are still very significant so don't expect the idea of

55
00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:12,239
using a separate graphics card to go away anytime soon and after all there's

56
00:04:10,519 --> 00:04:16,079
nothing quite like showing off your high-end card through the side panel

57
00:04:14,079 --> 00:04:21,919
window to be the Envy of all your friends without having to hide it under

58
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:24,080
a CPU heat sink speaking of hiding I'm

59
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:29,759
sure if you run a small business you're not hiding that accounting is like the

60
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:35,960
worst part like I would rather take out the garbage then sit and go through all

61
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:41,280
of that paperwork and fresh books is on a mission to make Freelancers and small

62
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:46,440
business owners less stressed out and more organized through their easyto use

63
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:50,520
online tool for crafting and sending professional invoices in seconds

64
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:54,639
tracking their hours so when it comes time to create the invoice you know

65
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:58,800
exactly what you did when you did it and who you did it for and even enabling new

66
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:02,800
and better functionality like the ability now to to accept deposits

67
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:07,960
through their platform so your work is paid for on your schedule they've even

68
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:11,880
got a tool to manage your expense report so their mobile app lets you take a

69
00:05:09,479 --> 00:05:17,000
picture of your receipts and pretty much handles the rest getting started on

70
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:21,960
freshbooks is super easy even if you're not a numbers person all you got to do
