Vesta 6050 so we have some new options
available with this system from NC you guys remember we showed you the
Prototype process as well as some of the uh design procedures that we go through
here at NCI so we actually have a new graphics card that came out today this
is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 so we've
got a couple of those so we're showing the performance edition of this Tower
which features the tx850 W power supply the storage Drive dual cards h70 as well
as H faster memory all right so this all comes in the fractal design Define XL
case now there's another thing that came out today and I wish this video was a
little bit better than it is because what happened is 3D Mark 11 came out and
we were like yeah okay let's throw some GTX 570s in the Vesta 6050 prototype and
let's find out how well it runs except that SLI is not supported in 3D Mark 11
on the GTX 570 just yet so we got under
the extreme preset a score of
1,687 so remember we are running an i7 950 processor we've got 12 gigs of RAM
and we've also got for all intents and purposes a single GTX 570 so I can go
ahead and uh let's start running 3D Mark
11 here if I can figure out how to do it there we go run extreme so I want to
obviously we're not going to make it all the way through the test but I want to talk a little bit about the different
tests so test number one has no tessellation heavy lighting from
multiple sources and so remember 3D Mark
11 is a direct x 11 Benchmark so we're
actually even though test number one doesn't have any tessellation other
tests are using tessellation so test two
and test three both use medium tessellation with medium lighting and
then with one light and then test number four uses extensive tessellation with
many different lights so actually here yeah you can see test number one is
running at a whopping 9 FPS uh so we can
check out those submarines I uh I can't wait until it's like every every 3D Mark
releas is like this you're like oh man this looks so cool I can't wait till I
can actually like see what's going on
because I have a decent frame rate so uh yeah I can't wait for like GTX 980 or
whatever where we're finally going to be able to see what it looks like when it's running butter smooth anyway there's two
CPU tests which has been the tradition um well at least for the last release of
3D Mark so the first one does a lot of rigid body physics um there's a fixed
resolution so no matter what preset you're running at it's going to run at the same low res because it is only
testing the physics calculations and then unlike the previous 3D Mark Vantage
the other physics test also has by the
way it supports direct compute so that means your graphics card is going to chip in whether you're using envidia or
ATI but it also runs at the resolution
of the rest of the tests it does some physx stuff but it also has a lot of
other stuff going on including tessellation and including lighting effects so that's pretty cool because
that one is probably the closest out of everything here to what a real gaming
workload is going to look like because it relies both on the CPU as well as the
GPU in order to do all of the rendering
and calculations and all that good stuff so thanks for checking out this little
video on our 3D Mark 11 score with the
GTX 570 I guess it was also kind of an overview of 3D Mark 11 as a whole and
don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips for unboxings reviews and other
computer videos and I don't know why this is here and I don't know why this
is here can I have my head back
no
