00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:15.000
Welcome to our Titan test bench this is for the ultimate NVIDIA GeForce single

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:18.560
GPU card we can't show you any benchmarks yet as of the time of

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

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:25.119
to test it in a number of different ways against a number of different cards

00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:32.239
let's start with the contenders so there's the GeForce Titan this is the

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:35.559
king of the NVIDIA gpus it is a GK

00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:37.480
110 the same card as you'll find in a

00:00:35.559 --> 00:00:41.760
super computer basically the fastest super computer in the world at the oakd

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

00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:51.960
previous King of the castle for uh

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:54.239
Kepler cards the GTX 680 we've got it up

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:57.440
against a 660 Ti just for a more realistic card we're going to be running

00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:02.079
two of these in SLI though to show you what that kind of a configuration would

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

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

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

00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:19.360
that compares to the Titan so we got to tested a number of different ways more

00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:22.439
importantly than almost anything else with the Titan is the fact that it not

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:28.360
only performs better than previous generation products but does so quietly

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:35.119
and with thermals that can accommodate even small form factor systems like this

00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:36.759
19.2 L case right here so Titan it's

00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:40.759
very important to get a good idea of what the Acoustics are like both on an

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

00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:48.799
computer and finding out how that runs for you guys we are also going to be

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

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:56.399
distance from the center of the Fan Hub we're going to be giving you guys

00:01:54.399 --> 00:02:02.320
readings of all the different cards here uh we are using our LGA 2011 test bench

00:01:59.039 --> 00:02:06.799
so that's 16 G of memory 3960x overclock

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:09.239
to 4 GHz on a P9 x79 Deluxe running on a

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:13.239
Vertex 4 SSD for the boot drive so this is pretty representative of what an

00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:18.120
Enthusiast would be running on their system powered by a ZX 1250 wat power

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:22.519
supply speaking of power supplies we have a UPS running down here with a

00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:26.080
wattage meter so that we can take power readings and tell you guys how these

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:29.680
cards compare to each other so we're just going to cycle through these here

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

00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:37.879
we had to mod this UPS because the stock

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

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

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:53.920
of things it makes it so that the room is quite quiet for Acoustics and it

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:59.120
evens out the input voltage to this guy right here which gives us much more

00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.360
consistent wattage readings aha monitor

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:05.959
configurations so we want to test it in 3D in surround

00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:12.239
as well as on a single large format panel this is because the Titan has six

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:16.560
gigs of GPU memory that is on one GPU

00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:18.400
this is the largest by far single single

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:24.000
core consumer graphics card in terms of the frame buffer so we're going to run

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:27.640
it in 3D at 1080p at regular 1080p we're

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.840
going to run it at 2560 x600 on a 30-in

00:03:27.640 --> 00:03:35.840
monitor and you can see here we have have 3 24in 1920x 1200 monitors we are

00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:43.640
going to test the Titan versus the Aries 2 in threeway surround to give you guys

00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:46.400
some idea how dual 7970 GHz editions

00:03:43.640 --> 00:03:51.599
would stack up against a single Titan remember a single Titan is only one GPU

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

00:03:54.200 --> 00:04:02.640
going to work uh oh ambient temperatures will be monitored using our HH 506 ra

00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:06.439
multi logger thermometer to make sure that we are giving you guys an accurate

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:13.480
idea of how each of these gpus is going to perform in terms of temperatures and

00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:13.480
I think that pretty much wraps it

00:04:15.320 --> 00:04:21.280
up y enjoy our Titan coverage when it

00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:23.919
comes don't forget to subscribe to L Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:26.960
other computer videos and I have no idea what Slick's talking about
