WEBVTT 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:07.680 Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for 00:00:05.319 --> 00:00:12.799 great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western 00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:16.039 Digital we're here in gigabytes showcase where there happens to be an 00:00:13.719 --> 00:00:19.680 overclocking event going on over there but the thing that I'm actually 00:00:17.439 --> 00:00:25.039 interested in is right here now guys this is as prototype as prototype can be 00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:30.400 it doesn't even have a name they're just calling it bricks gaming and expander 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:37.000 card and this is clearly not a card it also has like mini SAS HD cables 00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:42.239 connecting one of their bricks Pro uh little tiny PCS to this massive external 00:00:39.879 --> 00:00:45.559 box so this is just like frankensteined together it's totally like it it 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:49.840 probably won't even use these cables it might even use Thunderbolt or USB 3 or 00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:56.039 something like that but what this is you guys is an external box that allows you 00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:57.760 to expand the graphics capability of 00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:01.440 whatever machine you happen to connect it to now they're planning to hopefully 00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:05.680 bring something thing more finished to computex but right now there's a bunch 00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:12.040 of different ideas so number one is this mini SAS connectivity that has this PC 00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:16.560 which is otherwise running an AMD Radeon 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:17.560 8550g it has it running a GTX Titan all 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:21.799 right so I'm going to let that sink in for a moment GTX Titan now obviously you 00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:25.360 need the special connector right now they're also looking at other Solutions 00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:29.360 like this is a regular desktop and they're thinking maybe you could add 00:01:26.600 --> 00:01:32.640 like a PCI Express 16x card that goes out to 00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:37.040 a box that maybe supports more than one GPU like right now these ones if you 00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:42.840 have a have a look at the end here have a single GTX Titan graphics card in them 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:46.680 and that is it but the power supply in here is actually 600 watts in this 00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:50.840 prototype so it could potentially support two cards in SLI or we could be 00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:55.439 looking at expansion for other things maybe high-end video capture cards or 00:01:53.399 --> 00:01:59.280 whatever else the case may be and it could could get to the point okay guys 00:01:57.479 --> 00:02:03.119 where you have your Ultrabook you carry that around with you sit down at home 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:08.879 you got a core i7 inside it or whatever really decent CPU you plug it into your 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:13.920 bricks whatever they call this thing and all of a sudden you have a fully fledged 00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:19.160 gaming rig running off of your notebook now probably a good third of 00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:23.720 gigabytes presence here is all about their bricks lineup so they have regular 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:29.280 bricks they have bricks Pro and they have something that caught my fancy 00:02:25.519 --> 00:02:33.080 which is bricks Max this is a NZ 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:34.360 solution SL server slash I don't even 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:42.080 know what you want to call it but it has a Core5 4250 U inside and check this out 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:44.440 you guys four 2 and 1/2 in hard drives 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:48.440 in something that is small enough that I can hold it up with a couple of fingers 00:02:46.519 --> 00:02:54.720 so you've got gigabit Lan you've also got USB 3.0 HDMI out it's a fully 00:02:52.239 --> 00:03:00.400 functioning system that also happens to be able to support 4X 1 terabyte hard 00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:04.840 drives you can see there are individual hard drive activity LEDs on the front of 00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:08.040 the unit and I think it is pretty freaking cool looking it actually 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:12.519 doesn't even run that hot they had it powered up just a moment ago now the 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:17.319 regular bricks are sort of your your small compact machines and then bricks 00:03:15.640 --> 00:03:23.000 Pro actually comes in a variety of different configurations including ones 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:25.400 with Intel processors AMD processors 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:30.640 GeForce dedicated graphics radon dedicated graphics and of course one of 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:37.879 the stars of the show which is the Iris pro model that they've got running both 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:40.680 Battlefield 4 and 4K video playback here 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:45.400 at the show just with onboard Graphics now of course Gigabyte's not all about 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:51.680 systems and notebooks yes we do have an exciting new motherboard to show you 00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:54.519 guys here this is the G z87x ud7 th and 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:58.519 the th is of course for threesome because this one will get you laid so 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:02.480 fast that you no actually that's not what it's for it's for thunder bolt now 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:06.560 Gigabyte has already had Thunderbolt motherboards in the past including ones 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:12.400 with dual Thunderbolt ports just like this one has but what they've never 00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:13.879 shown us before is dual Thunderbolt 2 so 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:18.759 each of these Thunderbolt ports is capable of 20 gbit per second just like 00:04:16.280 --> 00:04:23.280 the new Mac Pro except unlike the new Mac Pro you can throw a bunch of PCI 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:27.240 Express cards in for expansion you've got highend onboard audio you've got 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:30.520 built-in liquid cooling as well as air cooling so it's going to be well cooled 00:04:28.840 --> 00:04:34.080 regardless it's got all the V checkpoints you could possibly want as 00:04:31.960 --> 00:04:38.360 well as onboard buttons for overclocking and all those things that PC enthusiasts 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:42.600 love now this one right here I actually don't know what that is in between those 00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:47.120 two PCI Express slots and they won't tell me but I'm sure given that they 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:52.280 won't tell me that that's very very exciting closing out the Gigabyte Suite 00:04:49.479 --> 00:04:57.479 we have the not Gigabyte no this is a new brand a premium brand an orus brand 00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:02.120 this is the X7 notebook which is an extremely slim core i7 quad core not 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:08.600 notebook with a glass trackpad fully backlit keyboard programmable macro keys 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:15.759 on the side it also has dual GeForce GTX 765m 1080p non-tn panel and most 00:05:12.919 --> 00:05:21.080 importantly it doesn't run too hot and it doesn't run too heavy or too thick 00:05:17.960 --> 00:05:23.120 this is an extremely slim extremely cool 00:05:21.080 --> 00:05:26.240 gaming notebook we actually have a full unboxing an overview of it also 00:05:25.039 --> 00:05:30.400 available on the channel so you should definitely check that out but one thing 00:05:28.039 --> 00:05:36.319 we weren't able to do during that video was show that it can actually game at 4K 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:41.120 so they've got a couple demos here one with it running at 4K one with it 00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:46.479 outputting over its two HDMI ports and its single DisplayPort port to three 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:51.800 monitors running NVIDIA surround yes friends off a notebook it's running 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:54.160 Batman Arkham Origins at 3x 1080p at 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:57.880 normal details and the minimum FPS in The Benchmark built into the game was 44 00:05:55.880 --> 00:06:02.840 frames per second guys don't miss any of our CES 2014 coverage remember we are 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:06.759 powered here at the show by nc.com your source for great technology selection 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.319 and service in addition to Western Digital and Corsair memory thanks so 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:13.440 much to all of those folks for letting us be here
