00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:15,000
Welcome to our Titan test bench this is for the ultimate NVIDIA GeForce single

2
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:18,560
GPU card we can't show you any benchmarks yet as of the time of

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,800
releasing this video but we can show you how we intend to get them so we're going

4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:25,119
to test it in a number of different ways against a number of different cards

5
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:32,239
let's start with the contenders so there's the GeForce Titan this is the

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:35,559
king of the NVIDIA gpus it is a GK

7
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:37,480
110 the same card as you'll find in a

8
00:00:35,559 --> 00:00:41,760
super computer basically the fastest super computer in the world at the oakd

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:48,840
National Lab we've got it up against a 7970 we've got it up against the

10
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:51,960
previous King of the castle for uh

11
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,239
Kepler cards the GTX 680 we've got it up

12
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:57,440
against a 660 Ti just for a more realistic card we're going to be running

13
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:02,079
two of these in SLI though to show you what that kind of a configuration would

14
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:06,720
be able to do against a Titanic opponent like a Titan and if we wanted to throw a

15
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:12,000
god into the mix then there's the Aries 2 which is two 7970 GHz Edition gpus

16
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,400
that is a custom card from a seus with a liquid cooler on it so let's see how

17
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:19,360
that compares to the Titan so we got to tested a number of different ways more

18
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,439
importantly than almost anything else with the Titan is the fact that it not

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,360
only performs better than previous generation products but does so quietly

20
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:35,119
and with thermals that can accommodate even small form factor systems like this

21
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:36,759
19.2 L case right here so Titan it's

22
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:40,759
very important to get a good idea of what the Acoustics are like both on an

23
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:44,719
Open Bench as well as in a case so we're going to be installing it in that tiny

24
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:48,799
computer and finding out how that runs for you guys we are also going to be

25
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:53,439
taking readings using our red mic on the open test bench so this is at a 12in

26
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,399
distance from the center of the Fan Hub we're going to be giving you guys

27
00:01:54,399 --> 00:02:02,320
readings of all the different cards here uh we are using our LGA 2011 test bench

28
00:01:59,039 --> 00:02:06,799
so that's 16 G of memory 3960x overclock

29
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:09,239
to 4 GHz on a P9 x79 Deluxe running on a

30
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:13,239
Vertex 4 SSD for the boot drive so this is pretty representative of what an

31
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:18,120
Enthusiast would be running on their system powered by a ZX 1250 wat power

32
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:22,519
supply speaking of power supplies we have a UPS running down here with a

33
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:26,080
wattage meter so that we can take power readings and tell you guys how these

34
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,680
cards compare to each other so we're just going to cycle through these here

35
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:35,519
show you how that works there you go so it's not nothing's running right now but

36
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:37,879
we had to mod this UPS because the stock

37
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:42,680
fan is quite loud so we installed a switch on the side that is run in line

38
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:48,640
with the fan so that we can actually turn it off when we're taking our acoustic readings so this does a couple

39
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:53,920
of things it makes it so that the room is quite quiet for Acoustics and it

40
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:59,120
evens out the input voltage to this guy right here which gives us much more

41
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:00,360
consistent wattage readings aha monitor

42
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:05,959
configurations so we want to test it in 3D in surround

43
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:12,239
as well as on a single large format panel this is because the Titan has six

44
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:16,560
gigs of GPU memory that is on one GPU

45
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:18,400
this is the largest by far single single

46
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:24,000
core consumer graphics card in terms of the frame buffer so we're going to run

47
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:27,640
it in 3D at 1080p at regular 1080p we're

48
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,840
going to run it at 2560 x600 on a 30-in

49
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:35,840
monitor and you can see here we have have 3 24in 1920x 1200 monitors we are

50
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:43,640
going to test the Titan versus the Aries 2 in threeway surround to give you guys

51
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,400
some idea how dual 7970 GHz editions

52
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:51,599
would stack up against a single Titan remember a single Titan is only one GPU

53
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:56,959
so you don't have to rely on any SLI or Crossfire driver optimizations it's just

54
00:03:54,200 --> 00:04:02,640
going to work uh oh ambient temperatures will be monitored using our HH 506 ra

55
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:06,439
multi logger thermometer to make sure that we are giving you guys an accurate

56
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:13,480
idea of how each of these gpus is going to perform in terms of temperatures and

57
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,480
I think that pretty much wraps it

58
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:21,280
up y enjoy our Titan coverage when it

59
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:23,919
comes don't forget to subscribe to L Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and

60
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,960
other computer videos and I have no idea what Slick's talking about
