welcome to another attempt at a
windforce GTX 780 Ti but this time we've
got the GTX 780 Ti windforce gigahertz
Edition the Corsair flash Voyager go is the easy way to move photos music and
videos between your Android device and your PC click now to learn
more it's about a $50 Adder over for a
normal OC wind Force card and for that you get a non reference board design
that adds two additional power phases and replaces one of the stock six pin
connectors with an8 pin connector this translates into some extra tweaking
flexibility with a 116% max power limit compared to 106% on a reference card you
get a much faster stock clock speed this card comes at
1.15 GHz boost by default and finally
you get a Gigabyte windforce cooler same as the other one but now it comes with a
sexy back plate which is usually about a $20 Adder if your car doesn't already
come with one the cooler is a massive six heat pipe triple fan affair with
their triangle cool concept which is designed to spread the hot air away from
the graphics card it's got a maximum cooling capacity of 450 Watts which I've
seen in action and it should be noted that on Modern highend graphics cards
this is actually very important because the better you can cool the card the
more power limit is available the better the card will actually perform across a
wide variety of games even if you don't do any overclocking it supports the
usual NVIDIA technology so that's SLI up to four-way GPU Boost 2.0 Cuda fizx
GeForce experience gameplay recording and streaming and the allnew g-sync
which finally has some sweet looking monitors coming for it and all the usual
stuff is included a couple adapters driver dis Etc but what I was really
interested in with this card and what I've been making my way towards in this
video is the binning process that went on with this card GPU binning just like
any other performance computer component like a CPU or RAM is the process of
selecting the best parts from a large batch and using them for a higher
performance variant of the same product than offsetting the cost of doing that
binning by charging more for that higher performance product we saw with
gigabytes normal 780ti windforce that in
spite of GPU boost 2.0's Dynamic
optimization of its performance just adding a better cooler to a
run-of-the-mill chip doesn't necessarily result in performance that can beat our
very very strong uh golden sample 780 Ti
reference card but in this case Gigabyte
is delivering a better Bend card to Market so it's not Pure Luck of the draw
you have theoretically a better chip and a very good cooler now as always we've
overclocked our cards to the max and I think you'll be pleased to see the
results from this card that looks great runs cool and quiet and performs well if
I told you that Luke would be out of a job I guess so over to you Luke so I'm
going to preface this with something that you guys probably already know by now if you've been watching quite a few
of my videos with 780 Ti in them and that is that my reference card is very
likely quite golden if you guys want to and I think you should if you're very
interested is check with the overclocking dock in the description below because you can see all of the
settings for all of my cards and you can check how these two different cards were
set against each other in overclocking software see how they perform and see
their actual core clocks while I'm running these tests the Gigabyte card
comes really highly overclocked outside of the box which is a nice benefit my
current reference card is able to overclock to basically the exact same
amount to where these cards trade just depending on what game it was which
means there's just margin of error there
um but it's it's it's interesting
because if you bought a reference card you probably wouldn't get that level of
Bin it's very unlikely but if you bought this windforce card it is more likely
that you are going to get a card that can perform this fast so that's actually
where you're getting a lot of value out of buying this card and as you can see
in the benchmarks it did quite well comparative to the reference card all
right guys thanks for watching the video uh as always while you're here on
YouTube be sure to favorite share subscribe to the channel and comment
below like and dislike the video as well I forgot about that one while you're
checking out the video description be sure to check check out the link to the Forum where you can comment on the video
we're more likely to respond there is it's just a lot easier to manage and all
that kind of stuff while you're on the Forum check at the PC gaming sub section
in the Forum because you can join the Star Citizen team we're about 19 20
people away from being in second place and I'm really excited for that um also
while you're there you can become a forum contributor we're going to be adding more ads on the Forum soon and if
you're a forum contributor you won't see the ads so that's quite cool we also are
selling shirts now that's in the description below as well and there's a
few that I'm going to have to pick up so be sure to check that out and as always
if you didn't hear it earlier be sure to subscribe
