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

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.839
package here now the performance package has a couple of differences over the

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:20.279
base package for one thing it takes the 6850 that comes in the base package and

00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:23.359
upgrades it to a 6870 it takes the 1055t

00:00:20.279 --> 00:00:26.760
6 core processor and upgrades it to a

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:28.800
1090t it takes the OEM style memory

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:33.440
without heat spreaders and fanciness and it adds well heat spreaders and

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

00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:44.680
620 watt power supply which is extremely quiet extremely high quality and just

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:51.000
generally extreme comes with good sleeving and all of that good stuff so

00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:52.640
what the NC PC Facebook guy as you may

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

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

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:05.320
got me running the crisis Benchmark here what he wanted me to point out about

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

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:13.320
had that running it's a crisis Benchmark with the

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:18.600
latest uh with the latest Patches he wanted me to show you with Forex

00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:21.079
anti-aliasing all details maxed this

00:01:18.600 --> 00:01:26.040
system at this price point is actually able to achieve average frames per

00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:29.880
second of over 30 FPS but that's not really the most impressive part the most

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:34.320
impressive part is that the minimum minimum frames per second is actually 25

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

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:42.680
actually did a performance review and I

00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:46.960
apologize but my graphs did not include minimum FPS for all of the benchmarks I

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:51.439
ran but they probably should have because the average FPS for the 6870

00:01:49.399 --> 00:01:56.360
looks very competitive but when you bear in mind that when you get into a very

00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:59.159
crowded area or anything bad happens in

00:01:56.360 --> 00:02:02.640
general the frame rate tends to dip well really that's your performance

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:07.240
bottleneck in terms of your frame rate so if you have a card that runs at

00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:12.120
average 30 frames per second and another card that runs at average 30 frames per

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

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:19.959
things get crowded well it's pretty obvious which one's a better card so

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

00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:30.120
only dips to 25 in the most intense parts that's pretty darn good he also

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:34.440
ran vantage with a couple different configs I think but this is the one for

00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:38.760
the 6870 single card so it scores a performance score of about

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

00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:47.440
particular system is going to feature the half 922 case so it should look

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:51.159
pretty sweet once it's installed in there we've got missuse motherboard so

00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:55.360
you've got the cool design elements on all of the mosfet coolers all of that

00:02:53.000 --> 00:03:00.120
good stuff very stylish looking as well as the 6870 it's they're all reference

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

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.640
personally I think the reference cooler looks pretty sweet don't forget to

00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:12.360
subscribe to Linus Tech tips and uh don't forget to check out the NCC

00:03:09.799 --> 00:03:18.120
Facebook page create more characters we can totally create more characters so

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:22.200
henceforth the guy holding the camera I can tell you this is not actually

00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:28.239
cameraman that's not cameraman this is our NCI PC guy and uh

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

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:37.319
so henceforth his nickname will be crazy Russian crazy Russian has reminded me

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:44.400
that the performance Edition also includes a wd caviar black hard drive

00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:46.480
with 64 Megs of cash while as uh whereas

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:50.879
the basic Edition does not include a black series hard

00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.879
drive
