NVIDIA brought us down here to LA to check out something pretty freaking
interesting a GeForce GTX 980 now why is
that interesting we've had these for a while it's in a laptop and no it doesn't
have a little M denomination after
it so yes it is a full desktop GPU it
has 2048 cacor a base clock of 1126 a
boost clock of 1216 a memory clock of 6
GBS per second which you just don't see in laptops 4 GB of memory a 256bit
interface width and yeah it's seriously
a 980 in a laptop NVIDIA unsurprisingly
is binning specific 980 chips for this
because they need good well- bend 980s for this because it has to sit in the
laptop it has to fit within certain specifications also they're going to be
in laptops that have four to eight phase power supplies which is beast mode and
not something you're used to seeing on a laptop often you see two to three phase
power supplies not 4 to8 uh it has record braking performance on air which
is not very surprising but we'll see what people can do to it down the line
and they're going to be working with laptop manufacturers to have it so that
the CPU and the GPU are fully unlocked and overclocking ready they're also
working with those laptop manufacturers to pump more cooling options into these
units up to 50% more apparently in some use cases and that should help because
you'll be able to tweak fan speed profiles if you want to go really loud
and get more overclocking great if you want to be quieter and maybe get a
little bit less overclocking that's great as well in terms of overclocking
you'll be able to change core clock speeds and memory clock speeds like I
mentioned earlier but not power limit or voltage limit as it's a laptop and
messing with those things can be a little bit more dangerous than on a desktop where you will have more leeway
now they were serious about this and actually let me tinker and mess around
with some of the laptops which is pretty freaking cool I was able to bench Mark a
thinner kind of Gigabyte aorus laptop aoris X7 which was pretty badass and a
thicker Cleo on the other side so alongside of those I tested a normal
system which had a kind of generalized setup and a desktop 980 in it and we got
to see the performance numbers in things like fire strike extreme Tomb Raider
Shadow of Mordor and Metro last Light which was pretty impressive because they
claimed that there would be about a Delta of maybe 5% and in a lot of cases
it was less than that these system were really really close and that's even
considering other components in these laptops like CPU which you have to take
into the equation here so it's badass it's a full desktop GPU and a laptop and
it actually runs properly and it's overclockable on top of that impressive
but what else is there also to GeForce experience they are bringing VR
optimization so at the 950 we saw low latency optimization for stuff like
mobas and there's normal optimization which is more well-rounded and then
we're we're going to be seeing VR optimization which is pretty awesome so
the idea behind this is tweaking your settings is something that a lot of
people like doing and one of the reasons why someone may not actually use GeForce
experience others like it others don't but in VR I think that line is going to
blur a little bit more because tweaking settings is going to be very annoying
when you strap a screen to your face and then something's wrong you can get sick
or it can be pretty disturbing very quickly so knowing that everything's
just going to kind of work is a pretty big benefit
I'm excited are you excited let me know in the comments down below subscribe
