this is the colorful igame vulcan GeForce rtx 3080 and they sponsored this
video to have me show you guys a couple of its unique features number one it's
got a flippin screen on it and number two it has a one touch overclocking
function that'll apparently take it from around 1700 megahertz to
i don't know nicholas wouldn't tell me he wanted to leave some intrigue in the
video and i've got a special surprise for you
guys i'm going to give you the full deets later on but before this video is
over we are going to give it away that's right
you can't buy an rtx 3080 but maybe you can win one
ah yes a driver disc haha just kidding nobody
includes those anymore but it's still in the shape of a cd because old habits die
hard there's a quick guide there's other more different something that's also in
chinese what the hell is this no
wait oh it's bring your own white glove service
and the best part i think these are asian sizes because
they fit me oh wow this is pretty cool included screwdriver and what seems to
be some kind of like support bracket i don't actually know if this is a support
bracket looks more like a little headphone stand or something look at
this what is what the what the devil is this
guardium leviosa i think it literally
just oh it's magnetic okay that helps a little
oh wait oh hey no we got it and see i faked that one all right let's peel this
off here's our screen though that's actually pretty big we'll see how chunky
the bezels are though turbo button
that black pcb check triple fan cooler check it's freaking
heavy how many heat pipes is that
i think it's six and there's a vapor chamber
this is like a damn daniel moment right vapor chamber on this side then he pipes
over to the other side this thing's got all the freaking cooling
2.1 kilos is that right dang
triple slot design you can use your graphics card as a
controller for an additional RGB strip so that's handy no way
and they use a type c plug instead of one of those crappy micro
usbs for the internal usb connector
i like it good job triple eight pin power connectors all
right let's throw it in oh fun
can flip up the screen if you got like that vertical mount GPU going on you
make sure you got it at the right angle there oh wow i can see why this thing needs a
support bracket like just that sound
you can just tell it's heavy this is why graphics cards have gotten so expensive
it's like a hundred dollars in copper just to
make the thing there that's how it's supposed to go
though okay that's not the dumbest thing ever
whoa now i thought you could just do like
jpegs or gifs or whatever but that's like
that's gotta be at least 30 hertz dang
first things first let's fire up the igame center
that tells us our GPU fans oh we're running at zero percent but they've
actually just kicked in they're running at oh wait
yep they're back to not spinning so that's cool it's got a silent mode when
it's not doing anything okay got your RGB controls let's go with
rainbow okay that's a pretty sick
RGB lighting thing they got going on on the back there so you got two separate
zones for the triangle around the logo and the
logo itself this is a great little dashboard this is basically like
hardware info it doesn't have a lot of the more advanced functionality of
hardware info like being able to pop out the graphs or log for example but this
is most of what anyone would need to know generic memory hey that's ballistix max
generic memory okay so you can pretty much just select
which ones you want dual screen display wait what
oh cool you can have a clock on your graphics card like igame until it's time
to go to bed there custom data the software interface could be better but i
think i got this figured out so i got the time on the right and i got a jiff on the left this is
freaking awesome is it gifs only but
just you can do like kind of high quality ones because that display looked
pretty high frame rate from what i was looking at before that's interesting the
gif runs at normal speed if you've got the clock next to it in dual screen
display but runs at like
2x speed if you just have it as a single one
so there's definitely some work for them to do still on this software utility
let's try the one touch overclocking GPU clock and GPU temp that's basically all
i care about hey you said this thing was going to run at 1700 megahertz or so
it's at 1980. you know this is what i don't get about manufacturers including
like overclocking buttons with their rtx 3000 cards because like
for the last few generations now NVIDIA's been all like oh well you know
we'll just have it dynamically use all the power and thermal headroom that it's
got so like overclocking is kind of kind of dead i don't know we'll see if
it does anything we're running at 52 degrees so far
of course we're not rendering much at the moment all right let's see how
toasty this puppy gets
we're sitting at around 180 frames per second this is running at 4k and i'm
pretty sure we're maxed out ultra nightmare
is this card running at 63 degrees
can i trust that mode
cryo oh yeah let's suck another 200 watts
here shall we ladies and gentlemen now this is not a warm room but it's also
not like cold yes that's what 2.1 kill i
mean it's not like the heatsink is cool to the touch or anything
so let's get average clock speed for like let's do like a like a three minute
run or something like that resetting values and
go i'm going to just run around down there and try not
to die okay it's a one minute run now
average 1857 megahertz got it now for
the turbo button no brain spider
take that brain spider and we averaged
18.53 by and large NVIDIA's automatic
optimization features seem to be working as intended of course it stands to
reason that unless i go into overclocking software and start tuning
power limits that it's not going to go
any faster and besides you guys don't want a pre-overclocked card when you win
your rtx 3080 do you so head over to
lttstore.com sometime in the next 24 hours
randomly it's gonna appear there amidst the t-shirts and hoodies high quality
water bottles and all that good stuff that we've got there for the price of
one us dollar plus shipping you're just gonna have to cover your own shipping if
you're in like timbuktu or whatever so there you go that's the details we're
gonna announce on twitter once it's gone up and someone's bought it so be
vigilant ever vigilant and bots won't
work because there's no existing page for it so
thanks again to colorful for sponsoring this video and for giving us this
graphics card to give away if you guys enjoyed it maybe check out our full
coverage on the launch of the rtx 3080 to see how it stacks up with the rest of
the GPU world
