1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:09,719
here we are in the lab again this is the NC PC 4050 so this is the performance

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,839
package here now the performance package has a couple of differences over the

3
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:20,279
base package for one thing it takes the 6850 that comes in the base package and

4
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:23,359
upgrades it to a 6870 it takes the 1055t

5
00:00:20,279 --> 00:00:26,760
6 core processor and upgrades it to a

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:28,800
1090t it takes the OEM style memory

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:33,440
without heat spreaders and fanciness and it adds well heat spreaders and

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:39,879
fanciness so that's pretty cool and it also bumps up the power supply to a seic

9
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:44,680
620 watt power supply which is extremely quiet extremely high quality and just

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:51,000
generally extreme comes with good sleeving and all of that good stuff so

11
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,640
what the NC PC Facebook guy as you may

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,399
or may not know him I actually have no idea what Alias he uses but he's the one

13
00:00:54,760 --> 00:01:00,879
who does a lot of the work on our system prototyping and uh evaluation so he's

14
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:05,320
got me running the crisis Benchmark here what he wanted me to point out about

15
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:09,439
this particular system is that here I'm going to go ahead and quit this so we

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,320
had that running it's a crisis Benchmark with the

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:18,600
latest uh with the latest Patches he wanted me to show you with Forex

18
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:21,079
anti-aliasing all details maxed this

19
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:26,040
system at this price point is actually able to achieve average frames per

20
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:29,880
second of over 30 FPS but that's not really the most impressive part the most

21
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:34,320
impressive part is that the minimum minimum frames per second is actually 25

22
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:39,799
FPS so if you check out some of the videos on my blog about the 6870 I

23
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:42,680
actually did a performance review and I

24
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:46,960
apologize but my graphs did not include minimum FPS for all of the benchmarks I

25
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:51,439
ran but they probably should have because the average FPS for the 6870

26
00:01:49,399 --> 00:01:56,360
looks very competitive but when you bear in mind that when you get into a very

27
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:59,159
crowded area or anything bad happens in

28
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:02,640
general the frame rate tends to dip well really that's your performance

29
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:07,240
bottleneck in terms of your frame rate so if you have a card that runs at

30
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:12,120
average 30 frames per second and another card that runs at average 30 frames per

31
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:15,920
second but this one only dips as low as 28 and the other one dips to 10 when

32
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:19,959
things get crowded well it's pretty obvious which one's a better card so

33
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:24,560
that means that even though you can say average FPS 30 isn't good enough if it

34
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:30,120
only dips to 25 in the most intense parts that's pretty darn good he also

35
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:34,440
ran vantage with a couple different configs I think but this is the one for

36
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:38,760
the 6870 single card so it scores a performance score of about

37
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:42,000
153,000 and we'll do a separate video Once he's actually got it installed this

38
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:47,440
particular system is going to feature the half 922 case so it should look

39
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:51,159
pretty sweet once it's installed in there we've got missuse motherboard so

40
00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:55,360
you've got the cool design elements on all of the mosfet coolers all of that

41
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:00,120
good stuff very stylish looking as well as the 6870 it's they're all reference

42
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:03,319
cards right now so no matter which 687 7 you get it's going to look like this and

43
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,640
personally I think the reference cooler looks pretty sweet don't forget to

44
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:12,360
subscribe to Linus Tech tips and uh don't forget to check out the NCC

45
00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:18,120
Facebook page create more characters we can totally create more characters so

46
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:22,200
henceforth the guy holding the camera I can tell you this is not actually

47
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:28,239
cameraman that's not cameraman this is our NCI PC guy and uh

48
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:32,319
he's not in front of the camera so he gets to be whatever I decide to call him

49
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:37,319
so henceforth his nickname will be crazy Russian crazy Russian has reminded me

50
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:44,400
that the performance Edition also includes a wd caviar black hard drive

51
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:46,480
with 64 Megs of cash while as uh whereas

52
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:50,879
the basic Edition does not include a black series hard

53
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:50,879
drive
