here we are in the lab again this is the NC PC 4050 so this is the performance
package here now the performance package has a couple of differences over the
base package for one thing it takes the 6850 that comes in the base package and
upgrades it to a 6870 it takes the 1055t
6 core processor and upgrades it to a
1090t it takes the OEM style memory
without heat spreaders and fanciness and it adds well heat spreaders and
fanciness so that's pretty cool and it also bumps up the power supply to a seic
620 watt power supply which is extremely quiet extremely high quality and just
generally extreme comes with good sleeving and all of that good stuff so
what the NC PC Facebook guy as you may
or may not know him I actually have no idea what Alias he uses but he's the one
who does a lot of the work on our system prototyping and uh evaluation so he's
got me running the crisis Benchmark here what he wanted me to point out about
this particular system is that here I'm going to go ahead and quit this so we
had that running it's a crisis Benchmark with the
latest uh with the latest Patches he wanted me to show you with Forex
anti-aliasing all details maxed this
system at this price point is actually able to achieve average frames per
second of over 30 FPS but that's not really the most impressive part the most
impressive part is that the minimum minimum frames per second is actually 25
FPS so if you check out some of the videos on my blog about the 6870 I
actually did a performance review and I
apologize but my graphs did not include minimum FPS for all of the benchmarks I
ran but they probably should have because the average FPS for the 6870
looks very competitive but when you bear in mind that when you get into a very
crowded area or anything bad happens in
general the frame rate tends to dip well really that's your performance
bottleneck in terms of your frame rate so if you have a card that runs at
average 30 frames per second and another card that runs at average 30 frames per
second but this one only dips as low as 28 and the other one dips to 10 when
things get crowded well it's pretty obvious which one's a better card so
that means that even though you can say average FPS 30 isn't good enough if it
only dips to 25 in the most intense parts that's pretty darn good he also
ran vantage with a couple different configs I think but this is the one for
the 6870 single card so it scores a performance score of about
153,000 and we'll do a separate video Once he's actually got it installed this
particular system is going to feature the half 922 case so it should look
pretty sweet once it's installed in there we've got missuse motherboard so
you've got the cool design elements on all of the mosfet coolers all of that
good stuff very stylish looking as well as the 6870 it's they're all reference
cards right now so no matter which 687 7 you get it's going to look like this and
personally I think the reference cooler looks pretty sweet don't forget to
subscribe to Linus Tech tips and uh don't forget to check out the NCC
Facebook page create more characters we can totally create more characters so
henceforth the guy holding the camera I can tell you this is not actually
cameraman that's not cameraman this is our NCI PC guy and uh
he's not in front of the camera so he gets to be whatever I decide to call him
so henceforth his nickname will be crazy Russian crazy Russian has reminded me
that the performance Edition also includes a wd caviar black hard drive
with 64 Megs of cash while as uh whereas
the basic Edition does not include a black series hard
drive
