1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,359
so spec wise they're not really saying a whole lot here because i don't really

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:11,519
know how much they've changed about the cooler i've only seen this

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:15,040
in footage from NVIDIA's teaser

4
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:17,359
so is it all cosmetic or are there

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:20,640
actual changes to the design of the card i love the case

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,480
this is the kind of thing where you feel like an idiot for uh

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:30,160
for pulling it out but the thing about collector's edition computer hardware is

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:32,960
that unless it ends up being a very very

9
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:37,360
iconic piece of hardware like an original mac

10
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,879
i would say in terms of bang for the buck you're better off taking it out of

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,360
the package and enjoying it because it's not going

12
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:50,879
to go up in value for not breaking the seal

13
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:58,320
i am actually kind of liking this i thought the the aged finish that they

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,840
put on it looked kind of tacky in the video but in person

15
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:08,400
that actually looks not half bad like they've got a pretty convincing effect

16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:12,400
on here i'm not quite sure how they did this like it must be uh

17
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:15,760
it must be a paint application but it looks really good

18
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:21,439
what's this is this a thing that you're supposed to

19
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:24,400
instructions not included got a penis stuck in the little port on the top no

20
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:29,040
no it doesn't it doesn't look like that's the thing you take off so the back plate this is a funny thing they

21
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,759
actually printed the star wars logo as though

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,200
it's going to stay in the case forever what a weird thing because the text is

23
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,799
going to be upside down when you install this in a case that is some that is some

24
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,479
classic you know video card mistake stuff right

25
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:49,520
there so the cooler doesn't look fundamentally redesigned they've got uh

26
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,720
oh this is interesting they've got this cover over the fan that looks like it

27
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,560
would make it hard to install two of them side by side not that i think too

28
00:01:54,799 --> 00:02:00,640
many people would order like a bunch of these and put them in a system

29
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:06,479
but that heat sink looks pretty similar oh

30
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,720
there's no dvi port on the back

31
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:13,360
how interesting all right so let's go ahead and uh

32
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:18,000
throw this onto our zenith extreme test bench here

33
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:25,280
oh come on i'll unplug the cord

34
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:25,280
dang it

35
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,680
then we can have a look at the lighting effects

36
00:02:40,959 --> 00:02:46,440
okay time to fire it up

37
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,560
yeah did not think that one through with respect to the uh

38
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:01,599
positioning of our power cable here

39
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:04,720
that is looking not too shabby so they've got led lighting all around the

40
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:09,280
fan they've got led lighting under the

41
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,200
grille here oh look at the way you can actually see

42
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:18,879
the way they've wired it in so they've just got a little a little tiny like

43
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:20,720
hard pcb led strip going on there and

44
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:23,360
then they've just got it wired up inside the heatsink

45
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,560
so there it is unigine superposition running on the titan xp collector's

46
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,560
edition but wait

47
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,560
there's more ah yes

48
00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:41,840
so i don't have to speculate that the galactic empire one looks

49
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:47,760
better i get to actually find out in

50
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:52,560
person oh

51
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,879
this i'm excited about

52
00:03:52,560 --> 00:04:00,640
i mean as excited as i can be about NVIDIA totally getting it wrong

53
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:05,360
jedi order and galactic empire

54
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:10,239
are not i mean yeah they're like good guys and

55
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:14,720
bad guys but they're like from different eras of the

56
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:19,680
star wars universe what is the deal with that

57
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,199
i don't know what it is maybe it's just the fact that it like doesn't look so

58
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:28,400
banged up gives it more sex appeal

59
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,360
maybe it's just that i actually like in most cases

60
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:35,919
i hate the glossy black

61
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:40,720
but man does that ever work here with the glossy black on the titan x

62
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:44,479
glossy black around the fan you've got the i've always liked the

63
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:51,040
dark nickel coating on the fins on the vapor chamber cooler

64
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:52,720
like this card just looks so

65
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:57,040
good i had actually thought from the video

66
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:02,320
that the heatsink designs were more different but this one this one just is

67
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:05,120
better check this out this is a metal piece

68
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,560
on the galactic empire one check this out check this out

69
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:13,199
so this is metal on here and it's just like a plastic plug

70
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:18,960
on the jedi order one all right let's shut her down

71
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:24,400
and let's do the unthinkable NVIDIA sli

72
00:05:21,039 --> 00:05:26,800
on a high-end AMD platform

73
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:32,000
running galactic empire and jedi order graphics cards

74
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:35,280
could anything be more wrong than this moment right now

75
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:43,280
the answer's no oh it's beautiful

76
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,120
it's like christmas it's like my christmas

77
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:51,919
cause cause it's because it's black and green like christmas

78
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,919
also because it's exciting also it's like mid-november so it's clearly

79
00:05:53,360 --> 00:06:03,600
christmas if you go to a store updating led firmware

80
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,600
since when does an led have firmware

81
00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:10,560
i mean i guess you need firmware if your led looks like that

82
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,639
all right fine fair enough ASUS

83
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:17,840
boop now let's get some sli go in here

84
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,840
i gotta snap a picture of this for the instagram

85
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:32,400
i should have known this was going to happen this

86
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:36,479
this is what you can expect when you put the light side and the dark

87
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:40,720
side together okay look at this

88
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:45,680
it's like it's like a half the horizontal

89
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:49,280
resolutions it's broken okay

90
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:55,440
let's uh let's try this again why don't we try plugging the HDMI cable into

91
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:57,919
what is clearly the dominant card which

92
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:01,880
apparently is the dark side

93
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:11,360
all right i don't have to stall for time anymore it's done

94
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:16,360
maximize 3d performance all right let's try again

95
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,360
and

96
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:28,800
no no that's the tv that's not the computer working

97
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:32,800
that's a that's a tv screensaver what

98
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:32,800
you got to be kidding me

99
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:40,000
why why is my life hard

100
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,880
okay be clear i love my life but this is the kind of crap that i deal

101
00:07:41,599 --> 00:07:46,800
with this is supposed to be the simplest thing ever plug in two graphics cards

102
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:50,319
and be like ah the jedi order and the galactic empire they're working together

103
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:55,759
i mean i guess this is kind of funnier anyway this is not the last time you've

104
00:07:52,800 --> 00:08:00,000
seen these cards what i want actually is your guys's

105
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:03,599
for what you want to see us do with them so leave those in the

106
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:07,840
comments and uh maybe you will see your idea executed

107
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,840
by being flung out of a window mace windu style
