1
00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:05,879
holy crap we're live welcome everybody

2
00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:09,719
to I think this is like my fifth or sixth live stream something like that um

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,599
either way I think I'm getting a little bit more used to the routine I see

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:18,840
there's lots and lots of people joining us in the chat

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:22,760
already um actually not that many but we're starting so you know hopefully

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:26,599
more people will will tune in soon I've got a lot of really cool stuff to talk

7
00:00:24,279 --> 00:00:31,679
about today and as usual we'll be doing a fair amount of Q&A mostly on Twitter

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,480
so guys if you're not already following me on Twitter make sure that you put in

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:40,960
the thing it's like the at symbol or something at symbol Linus Tech follow me

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:45,360
on Twitter because that is the way to interact with the show however um there

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,480
are some challenges with Twitter Twitter is not actually the best platform ever

12
00:00:47,879 --> 00:00:53,280
and you know what actually I've come up with another topic for tonight's live

13
00:00:51,239 --> 00:00:57,760
stream and that is the fact that I absolutely hate hoot it's the stupidest

14
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,680
thing ever and I'm going to show you guys all the reasons I hate it and I

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:06,560
really hope someone from Twitter or hoot or someone who knows someone who knows

16
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:09,880
someone at hoot is watching this because

17
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:13,040
uh yeah it's not very

18
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:16,200
good whoa and I've got an audio Echo

19
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,119
going here hold on a second I'm g go

20
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:24,240
ahead and turn that that there down and of course because my cat chewed

21
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:28,640
up my uh hold on oh can't take that right now because my cat chewed up my

22
00:01:26,759 --> 00:01:37,479
volume control I actually have a really hard time adjusting in it yeah it won't

23
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:40,000
uh won't turn off come on there we go

24
00:01:37,479 --> 00:01:44,240
there we go all right so let's open that back up hoot it's not very good there's

25
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:49,360
my note for later so I guess what we'll do is we'll just get started here

26
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:53,640
so huge well first of all I guess thanks

27
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:57,479
for tuning in guys uh we've got like 300 people watching already so that's that's

28
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:01,039
outstanding given that I haven't you know what let's give the guys who are

29
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:04,960
waiting for the YouTube video let's give them a chance to tune in I'm actually

30
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:11,160
super impressed with and yes the giveaway announcement will be today and I'm sorry

31
00:02:08,679 --> 00:02:19,480
for that tweet where I called it a GTX 670 it is not a 670 my bad it is a GTX

32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,440
660 Ti which is also a perfectly good

33
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,440
graphics card and by perfectly good I mean awesome so uh so yeah we're going

34
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:31,040
to do that later and uh where was I going with that

35
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:35,280
yes doing oh yes right my YouTube video isn't even up yet so the YouTube viewers

36
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:38,879
haven't even had a chance to tune in because uh the first recording I did

37
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,920
like I do a recording and then I upload that to YouTube so that they can tune in

38
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,239
and then they can see the live stream but unfortunately the first one I

39
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,200
recorded didn't have any sound so I uploaded it and fortunately I realized

40
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:58,400
that it had no sound before anyone actually anyone actually looked at it um

41
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:02,159
and I I mean I know I have technical problems with my videos some sometimes

42
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:07,280
but um yeah I'm trying to avoid them trying

43
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:12,519
to avoid them as much as possible so let's see if uh I just want to make sure

44
00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:14,360
that video's up let's go ahead and check

45
00:03:12,519 --> 00:03:19,400
if the YouTube viewers are going to have a chance to tune in yet yes it is up

46
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:26,599
there are nine comments and five views and poor poor this guy I mean what what

47
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,280
what is this name here I I I have like I

48
00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:33,640
have no idea I have no idea what this name is here check this out

49
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:39,239
like uh I I don't stand a chance of reading this anyway he just wants to go

50
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:43,239
to work and I'm very sorry that my live stream is going to be interfering with

51
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,400
work because that's uh that's very sad and I hope that you do tune in either

52
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:54,200
way so I guess let's get started topic number one today is

53
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:58,040
NVIDIA's green light um I'd love to see

54
00:03:54,200 --> 00:04:00,799
on on Twitter or on the chat on Twitch

55
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:07,879
who here is familiar with what green light refers to okay Oscar says

56
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:12,159
Venezuela says hi that's cool Oscar hi

57
00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:13,760
to Venezuela as well okay Jason says hey

58
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:20,680
lonus you're live is the speed of your RAM important to overclocking no

59
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:22,280
generally speaking not really it's um

60
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:27,440
it's less of a factor now that we have unlocked processor so RAM didn't matter

61
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:34,160
back in the day when AMD had unlocked multipliers and then RAM mattered a lot

62
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:36,320
in the uh in the socket 478 days RAM was

63
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,360
everything getting high performance high frequency RAM was the only way you were

64
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:45,440
going to get the maximum overclock out of your CPU and then both Intel and AMD now have

65
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,520
unlocked processors so you actually don't even need to adjust your RAM speed

66
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,479
in order to get whatever overclocking you want um Adrian wants to know how I

67
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:57,560
know Logan honestly I don't really know Logan I've never met him in person just

68
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:02,440
we've exchanged tweets and emails and YouTube private messages over the last a

69
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:06,600
while here um that that's about it we only really know each other through like

70
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:12,240
like the YouTube the YouTube Brotherhood so I I'm late tonight Brian I am not

71
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:17,080
late tonight I was exactly on time I was about as on time as someone could ever

72
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:22,600
be for a live stream that starts when they show up so no matter what I do no

73
00:05:19,479 --> 00:05:24,840
matter what I do I'm on time so no one

74
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:29,759
I'm not familiar with Greenlight oh this is great green light is extremely

75
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:34,720
interesting so it started with the firm architecture cards and what green light

76
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:39,400
basically is is okay let's say Galaxy for example Galaxy um colorful palette

77
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:44,280
actually I don't know if colorful is a GeForce partner I I don't remember whatever they're not in North America so

78
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:50,319
let's go with the GeForce Partners MSI Su C VGA all of these guys what green

79
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:51,960
light means is they create a design for

80
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:56,160
a card so if you guys aren't familiar with how an adom board partner Works

81
00:05:53,800 --> 00:06:02,360
basically NVIDIA designs a chipset so that's a that's a

82
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:04,520
GK 104 4 for example gk104 is the chip

83
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:08,360
that's on a 660 Ti it's also the chip on a 670 a 680 and a 690 but there's two of

84
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:13,280
them so they have a chipset then they do a reference design

85
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:17,280
where they take that chipset and they completely design a product around it so

86
00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:22,639
they'll put on a memory amount of memory they'll put like a suggested memory RAM

87
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:26,520
speed frequency timings they'll design like a power delivery system and they'll

88
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:30,560
make a PCB for it they'll do a cooler that is a reference card so it's

89
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:35,000
actually designed in every possible way by NVIDIA although NVIDIA manufactures

90
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:39,960
nothing NVIDIA's chips themselves are manufactured by a third party such as

91
00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:41,919
tsmc and their cards themselves are

92
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:46,520
actually usually man well not usually they're always manufactured by someone

93
00:06:43,479 --> 00:06:48,560
else as well so when NVIDIA does like a

94
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:54,000
new launch for example if they launch a a reference GTX 680 that means one of

95
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:59,199
their addin board Partners was probably contracted to produce all the reference

96
00:06:56,919 --> 00:07:02,720
680s which then the other partners have to put their sticker on and you know

97
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:08,680
they're kind of doing it as a favor for NVIDIA so they probably don't make a whole lot of money on it and all of that

98
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:11,319
but that's okay reference design okay

99
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:15,599
now the addin board partners are more than welcome to design their own many

100
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:20,919
aspects of the GPU so you've seen you know EVGA with their billion different

101
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:25,319
versions of every GPU where they've got a super clock and a super super clock

102
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:29,520
and a for the win and a for the win plus and a super Super Clock Plus and a

103
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:34,840
classified they've got so many cards cards so some of those have different

104
00:07:32,759 --> 00:07:38,120
cooling solutions some of them have different clock speeds some of them have

105
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:43,240
different Power delivery which will enable better overclocking some of them

106
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:47,360
will have different amounts of RAM so they might be 2 gigs three gigs four

107
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:50,039
gigs six gigs doesn't matter um these are all the different things that the

108
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:56,000
add-in board Partners can do they can add different display outputs so great

109
00:07:52,039 --> 00:07:58,039
example was evga's 570 HD where they

110
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:02,599
actually added and this isn't a 570 but they added a DisplayPort out which none

111
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:08,080
of the other 570s really had they were mostly dual DVI with a mini HDMI another

112
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:13,000
example would be Galaxy's 570 MDT which actually had triple display outputs on a

113
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:18,319
570 before NVIDIA officially introduced that feature with the 600 series okay so

114
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:21,919
we got reference designs then we have addin board partner designs and that's

115
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:27,680
anything that was designed by someone other than NVIDIA and doesn't look like

116
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:31,240
that standard NVIDIA card

117
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:33,599
okay so green light means that Nidia it

118
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:40,560
has to approve or give the green light the goahead to any design that a

119
00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:41,839
manufacturer submits before it gets

120
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:46,320
released to Market so what does this mean there's a

121
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:51,800
lot of different sides to the story so I'm going to give you guys a little bit of the history of what's happened to

122
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:57,800
bring the green light program to light to light to Green Light uh to light

123
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,200
recently so number one is MSI's power

124
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:05,560
edition cards they're power edition cards cards they're Hawk edition cards

125
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:07,000
Nidia has a certain spec so you know

126
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:12,360
this is aside from the cooler and the clock speed whatever they have a certain spec for how much voltage they want

127
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:16,800
appli to the GPU how much voltage they want to apply to different parts of the

128
00:09:15,079 --> 00:09:20,279
kit that is used to make up this graphics card where the add in board

129
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:26,519
partner can design all the other stuff and what MSI was doing was they were

130
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:29,640
allowing the gpus to be overvolted and

131
00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:32,480
overclocked in a way that inidia did did

132
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:35,360
not authorize now Tom's Hardware did a fantastic article actually it was the

133
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:41,160
German site that I think did the original article but there's an English version that's sort of shorter and and

134
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:45,959
easier to read for people who don't read German like me and uh what they

135
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:50,120
basically discovered was that MSI was dramatically overvolting one of the

136
00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:55,000
components on this board in order to achieve the results they were getting I

137
00:09:51,959 --> 00:09:57,640
mean a 660 Ti power Edition when maximum

138
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:03,240
overclocked could actually run right there with a gtx6 70 reference card when

139
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:07,399
they were both at their maximum overclocks which basically means you'd

140
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:14,640
have to have rocks in your head in order to buy a 670 reference card when this

141
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:16,760
660 Ti power Edition was just as fast

142
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:21,640
once you overclocked it so so they discovered that's that's what

143
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:29,800
they were doing um it was also then discovered that MSI is revising the

144
00:10:23,959 --> 00:10:33,440
cards um in order to adhere to NVIDIA's

145
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:35,680
guidelines with respect to GPU voltages

146
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:39,320
and um and the overall design of the card to get it sort of greenlighted

147
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:44,240
again now green light doesn't mean that MSI cannot release the product you can

148
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:47,959
see they released the 660ti power Edition even though it was not running

149
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:53,320
according to spec so what NVIDIA has basically come

150
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:58,639
out and said in the last uh the last day or so is that it's not a matter of them

151
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:02,079
redlighting a product they're not saying okay you can't release this product to

152
00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:07,480
the market but what they are saying to the add-in board Partners is if you

153
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,959
release this product we are not going to

154
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:17,639
warrantee the components that you bought from us so basically they're voiding the

155
00:11:14,959 --> 00:11:23,480
addin board Partners warranty for overclocking outside of the certain

156
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:26,480
threshold that NVIDIA wants overclocked

157
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:30,480
another example is EVGA 680

158
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,399
classified that um is no longer sold

159
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:37,600
with the evbot utility that allowed it to be

160
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:41,920
overvolted okay so a couple different ways to to interpret this number one is

161
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:45,440
you could kind of go Rubble Rubble Rubble NVIDIA is limiting the board

162
00:11:43,839 --> 00:11:50,079
Partners in terms of what they can do in the terms of the designs they can bring to market the performance they can

163
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:55,040
deliver to Gamers um so that's that's one perspective the other perspective is

164
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:59,680
uh this is from NVIDIA's Camp is that the green light program is designed to

165
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:06,120
improve the reliability and the consistency of the experience for

166
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:08,959
GeForce gpus for gamers so NVIDIA has an

167
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:14,639
internal philosophy that and I agree with them 100% on this that if your

168
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:18,560
video card dies after a year or two

169
00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:20,040
that's not a good thing and that that's

170
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:24,839
going to create a bad customer experience a bad experience around the

171
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:28,800
GeForce experience and NVIDIA is deeply concerned with what kind of an

172
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:34,360
experience the customer has whether they buy a gal Galaxy card an EVGA card ASUS

173
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:38,760
whoever it doesn't matter from their perspective they want to make sure no

174
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:41,440
matter who the customer chooses they get

175
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:44,320
a great experience so they're evaluating things in this green light program

176
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:49,920
they're evaluating Acoustics they're evaluating the temperatures they're

177
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,160
evaluating the um the size of the gpus

178
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,240
making sure that the customer is going to have a great experience so from their

179
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:59,760
perspective they're kind of sitting here going okay we did all the work on this

180
00:12:57,279 --> 00:13:04,839
we understand how this chip worked down to its very like

181
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:10,240
microscopic level we've done all the testing and determined what is a safe

182
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:13,720
voltage in terms of the heat that it's going to Output you know whether the

183
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:18,120
cooling design can handle it or whatever else what is a safe voltage in terms of

184
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:24,000
the longevity of the chip they have B the chips at their level so remember

185
00:13:20,279 --> 00:13:26,120
guys a gk104 GPU is exactly the same GPU

186
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:32,120
exactly the same thing whether it's in a 660 Ti 670 or 680 so what is the

187
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:36,959
difference the difference is that they actually take these gpus and they sort

188
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:42,800
them into which ones are validated for 680 670 660 Ti operational speeds as

189
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:47,680
well as the number of functional units that are enabled

190
00:13:44,959 --> 00:13:50,759
okay so NVIDIA is basically going okay look well we already B these for you we

191
00:13:49,199 --> 00:13:54,720
told you what voltage is safe to run them at from a reliability and a heat

192
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:59,160
output perspective and if you want to go ahead and turn them up that's fine but

193
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:02,240
the onus is going to be on you to support these things once they're out

194
00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:05,839
there in the market because this is not what we designed them to be used

195
00:14:04,199 --> 00:14:11,320
for so who's right actually that's outside

196
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:15,160
the scope of this conversation but I would love to get your comments on

197
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:20,279
Twitter and have a look at what you guys think about the greenl program and

198
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:28,320
whether okay you guys are just like you guys are just not talking about this at

199
00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:30,360
all okay please please at Linus tweet

200
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,279
that direction tweet and let me know what do you think of the green light

201
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:36,399
program whose side are you on are you with the add-in board Partners who are

202
00:14:35,079 --> 00:14:39,560
basically going okay well we should be able to take this thing that we bought

203
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:44,800
from you NVIDIA we should be able to do whatever we want with it and you should

204
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:47,440
warranty it because you know we're your

205
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:51,440
partners or do you take the other perspective and go well NVIDIA kind of

206
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:54,199
has the right to set a warranty term I mean they're not telling the partners

207
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:57,279
they can't do it they're just saying we're not going to warranty it because

208
00:14:55,839 --> 00:15:02,279
you used it outside of the Opera it's like if you use your fridge um to cool

209
00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:05,880
your PC you're not going to get a warranty for that it's like a consumer

210
00:15:03,839 --> 00:15:10,600
TV actually consumer TVs are a great example TBA I believe is the only brand

211
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:16,279
that will actually warranty a consumer TV the instant you put it into a

212
00:15:13,959 --> 00:15:21,000
commercial environment so if you use a Sony TV Samsung TV in your business in

213
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,839
your restaurant you have TV displayed you you want it up on the wall the

214
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:28,720
second you put that in there your warranty is void because it is not valid

215
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:31,839
for commercial use so it's not like this is uncommon thing okay we finally have

216
00:15:30,519 --> 00:15:37,000
some interactions let's have a look at what people say all

217
00:15:34,839 --> 00:15:44,000
right oh wow we've got a lot of responses now yay way to go guys okay

218
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:45,920
Nicholas NVIDIA side um Raz we're not

219
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,759
talking about that right now Jordan NVIDIA is taking a stand I like it they

220
00:15:48,079 --> 00:15:53,759
aren't limiting us we still have both options now Jordan something I would

221
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:58,319
bring up about your point here is that we actually don't have both options

222
00:15:56,279 --> 00:16:05,600
every partner that I'm aware of that had a skew that was not warrantable under

223
00:16:01,639 --> 00:16:08,279
green light has pulled that skew back so

224
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:12,360
effectively by pulling the warranty out of them they have removed those options

225
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:16,160
from the market whether they're correct about it or not is sort of the debate

226
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:19,560
we're having here but we don't really have a choice anymore so there something

227
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:24,920
to bear in mind uh NVIDIA is correct NVIDIA NVIDIA

228
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:28,079
NVIDIA are in the right here uh Ryan says what's going to happen to the

229
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:32,480
existing 660 Ti well for the power Edition from MSI which is the example I

230
00:16:29,839 --> 00:16:37,959
focused on a lot here um any that were already released um are going to be what

231
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:41,839
they are and so they'll perform a little better and then the new ones that are

232
00:16:39,639 --> 00:16:44,920
redesigned will be under the same name they'll be the same skew and they'll

233
00:16:43,639 --> 00:16:52,160
have slightly less overclocking potentially you won't be able to crank up the voltage as much um and that will

234
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:55,319
be that okay fax says NVIDIA has the right to control their warranty Alex I'm

235
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:59,440
with NVIDIA they shouldn't have to warranty something it's not designed for

236
00:16:57,319 --> 00:17:06,000
so it looks like by and large you guys are both are all very much on

237
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:10,079
the green light NVIDIA side which is very interesting because a lot of the

238
00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:14,319
time consumers and I'm not going to generalize you guys here anything like

239
00:17:11,679 --> 00:17:19,199
that but a lot of the time consumers are not uh very quick to side with sort of

240
00:17:17,439 --> 00:17:25,919
the multi-billion dollar uh international company in this case I can

241
00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:27,640
see it from both perspectives because

242
00:17:25,919 --> 00:17:31,480
what NVIDIA's effectively done is they've taken something the GPU Partners

243
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:35,280
have always taken for granted they've always been able to do this before and

244
00:17:33,679 --> 00:17:38,320
it's always been one of the ways that they can compete against each other

245
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,520
because it's not like NVIDIA supports every partner equally I mean they try

246
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,200
they do their best but it's like you know if you have like 10 children

247
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:50,400
there's bound to be one that's your favorite or whatever else um so one of

248
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:55,440
the ways that the that the GPU Partners could use to differentiate from each

249
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:57,440
other um has has been taken away so I

250
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:02,679
can see why particularly some of the partners that relied on this this would

251
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:08,640
be really upset it's like um should your kids have an ice cream every Saturday um

252
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:13,480
you know what it there's nothing wrong with giving them an ice cream every

253
00:18:09,919 --> 00:18:17,080
Saturday if they're being good um are

254
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:19,440
the kids are the kids wrong when they

255
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,840
say well we're still being good and the expectation was always that if we were

256
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:27,159
really good we were going to get ice cream on Saturday and now you're saying

257
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,480
no ice cream anymore um I don't know I

258
00:18:27,159 --> 00:18:33,240
don't know I I don't have I don't have the right answer here but uh okay NVIDIA

259
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:38,000
side NVIDIA's in the right Matthew says say my name that's creepy dude creepy

260
00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:44,280
creepy creepy oh wait you didn't mean it like

261
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:48,400
that all right what else we got here so we've got about another 65 results which

262
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:53,440
means I can't read all of them but I am going to do a quick skim here once I get

263
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:55,240
down to uh whoa we have a lot of a lot

264
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:59,840
of tweets here Matthew something something I don't know whatever let's

265
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,679
just look at them uh

266
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,880
what possibility change motherboard is it going to be dis NVIDIA is correct

267
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:07,720
NVIDIA is correct oh I think I actually went past it there we go on NVIDIA's

268
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,200
side it's the partners that want to crank up the cards Scotty Scotty you're

269
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,919
the first one toci side with the partners here I'm with the partners

270
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:18,919
because they produce brilliant coolers and it just improves the card's performance you're right it does improve

271
00:19:17,159 --> 00:19:24,679
the card's performance so here's an interesting take on it this was um I

272
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:28,280
forget who brought this up but evga's

273
00:19:24,679 --> 00:19:29,320
680 was originally permitted to operate

274
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:34,600
this way and then now they're not able to ship it

275
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:37,240
with evbot anymore so effectively NVIDIA

276
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:42,240
has created this environment where SKS that don't really exist anymore okay so

277
00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:47,799
the power Edition as we know it for 660ti doesn't exist the 680 classified

278
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:52,679
with all the overvolting doesn't exist but SKS that no longer exist have been

279
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:56,400
used to set overclocking records and set an unrealistic expectation with

280
00:19:54,240 --> 00:20:01,840
customers did they do this intentionally did they not I actually don't know

281
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:05,679
um NVIDIA has the right to limit their warranty I'm on the NVIDIA side I think

282
00:20:04,039 --> 00:20:12,200
the green light program is great and I'm all for a good customer experience you know what that is that is one huge way

283
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:18,000
to uh to look at this is that if NVIDIA is effectively improving the reliability

284
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,760
in the GeForce experience then how can

285
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:23,640
we see it as a bad thing hard to say I mean what if uh what

286
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:28,000
if the partners basically said to you guys here we'll give you a BIOS that uh

287
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:33,159
you know if you register your card we'll give you a BIOS that unlocks all of the

288
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:35,520
overvolting options and you will you'll

289
00:20:33,159 --> 00:20:39,280
forfeit your warranty would you guys do something like

290
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:43,000
that I mean that might be the solution to all of this MSI continues producing

291
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:47,400
the power Edition exactly the same way that they always have and then they just

292
00:20:45,159 --> 00:20:51,080
kind of go okay well you know we're going to ship it like this with this

293
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:55,840
BIOS that limits all this stuff so we can maintain our warranty and then we'll

294
00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:59,440
give customers the option to and I don't know how they' track it to be perfectly

295
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:03,280
honest I mean there all hypothetical but we'll give customers the option to

296
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:08,120
Forfeit the warranty that way it's not on MSI's head what the customer decides

297
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:11,640
to do with that card um and NVIDIA won't have to deal with it either that way

298
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:17,440
you're just taking responsibility for your own your own overclocking Adventures which is how it used to be

299
00:21:15,799 --> 00:21:21,120
actually I mean overclocking used to avoid everyone's warranty back in the

300
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:26,320
day so okay does AMD have a similar process

301
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,919
AMD I think is pretty much they they let the partners do what they want at this

302
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:33,480
point I mean you look at something like the devil 13 7990 from powercolor I mean

303
00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:39,880
that's a very elaborate design that went into that card and uh they

304
00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:44,760
also yeah they they released it power color managed to release it so I'm with

305
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:49,159
NVIDIA not warranting misuse I'll take him side I'm going to look for anyone

306
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:54,159
else who's who's on the uh who's on the partner side here I think we only had

307
00:21:51,279 --> 00:21:59,000
one person side with the partners through all of

308
00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,840
this NVIDIA oh here we go here we go

309
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:05,360
male saysi think I am more on the partner side because if they buy the

310
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:10,320
cards they should be able to do what to NVIDIA is right to though okay I'm

311
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:16,480
unfortunately I don't really understand that tweet but thank you male for um

312
00:22:14,679 --> 00:22:19,919
participating okay we're going to move on from this topic now I see I have a

313
00:22:18,279 --> 00:22:24,559
ton more tweets about this but as you guys can clearly see it's pretty much

314
00:22:21,919 --> 00:22:28,799
impossible for me to read and and and analyze all of them but I just wanted to

315
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:32,520
share this whole situation with you get your guys' thoughts on it give you my

316
00:22:30,679 --> 00:22:38,679
thoughts on it let's move on to the next thing Ultra books

317
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:41,279
so my understanding of an Ultra Book was

318
00:22:38,679 --> 00:22:46,400
that uh aside from MacBook Air which we all know hopefully we all know is not an

319
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:53,880
Ultrabook MacBook Air is not an Ultrabook okay so we're clear um because

320
00:22:50,279 --> 00:22:58,799
Ultrabook requ the word Ultrabook

321
00:22:53,880 --> 00:23:00,640
requires an Intel license to use it it's

322
00:22:58,799 --> 00:23:04,880
on a skewby skew basis for those of you who don't know what a skew is a skew

323
00:23:02,679 --> 00:23:10,960
refers it means stock keeping unit it's like one sort of set specification of a

324
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:13,240
particular in this case notebook okay so

325
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:18,000
it's on a skewby skew basis there's no charge from Intel to validate a notebook

326
00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:21,200
the only charge involved is you take your notebook we're going to pretend this is a notebook this is going to be

327
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:28,279
my prop for the rest of the night no matter what I'm talking about so you take your notebook you slap a shipping

328
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:30,200
label on it you send it to Intel and

329
00:23:28,279 --> 00:23:34,400
they analyze it they look at it in a bunch of different ways and sort of then

330
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:38,360
they either give you the okay yes this is an Ultra Book or they say no go back

331
00:23:36,919 --> 00:23:41,799
to the drawing board you have to fix this and this and this and it is not an

332
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:46,200
Ultrabook yet send it back again when it's done and uh so anyway so apple does

333
00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:50,159
not participate in that program so MacBook Air in spite of its similarity

334
00:23:47,919 --> 00:23:55,720
to something like an ASUS Zen book is not an Ultra Book okay so I would love

335
00:23:53,360 --> 00:24:02,240
to see some tweets here guys about what you think are the characteristics of an

336
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:08,039
Ultra Book so we're going to go back to uh we're going to go back to the Twitter

337
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:10,919
feed here 36 new interactions of

338
00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:14,840
course of course there are 36 new interactions you guys are you guys are

339
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:20,200
crazy you guys are awesome honestly in the last week I've gained about 4,000

340
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:24,640
followers on Twitter which is which is outstanding and I'm sure not all of you

341
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:28,640
were just in it for the graphics card giveaway I'm sure most of you were in it

342
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:32,840
so you could participate in the live streams and send me messages and all

343
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:37,080
that kind of good stuff that's what most of you were up

344
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:41,039
to all right let's see anyone

345
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:43,200
got Ultra books suck yeah okay Ultra

346
00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:46,600
books are cool however all right here we go here we go so let's get into what

347
00:24:44,799 --> 00:24:50,159
people think of this whole Ultrabook thing Zack says Ultrabooks are cool but

348
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:55,799
I would much rather get a more substantial customizable laptop my response to Zach is this is the

349
00:24:53,919 --> 00:25:01,320
direction things are heading man whether we like it or not Apple has set this

350
00:24:58,039 --> 00:25:03,399
trend with MacBook Pro MacBook and

351
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:06,200
MacBook Air that that's the Direction notebooks are going I me look at

352
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:12,720
something like the razor blade if that's not like an apple aluminum unibody sort

353
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:17,000
of inspired design then I don't know what is you look at ASUS Zenbook if

354
00:25:14,679 --> 00:25:21,399
that's not a MacBook Air inspired design then I don't know what is but anyway

355
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:25,760
moving right along so Joseph thin you're right thin is part of

356
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:32,600
it um Ultra books are overpriced Slim in SSD ah Nicholas okay so slim yes SSD not

357
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:37,679
necessarily but I'll get into that in more detail later Joel says good quality

358
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:41,600
good quality can be Quantified in a lot of different ways um so again don't

359
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:47,880
worry guys I'm going to talk about this I'm going to talk about this okay High battery life says Jordan fast small and

360
00:25:45,159 --> 00:25:52,120
light says Derek uh Ultrabooks are Intel laptops that are thin and light and good

361
00:25:49,679 --> 00:25:55,919
battery life Joe I love your picture this is the second time I've seen you on

362
00:25:53,600 --> 00:26:00,600
the Twitter feed I I still need to know if that's actually you though because

363
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:05,440
that's that's amazing that burger is well it's literally the size of a man's

364
00:26:02,559 --> 00:26:09,880
head um okay battery life and thinness Intel I series CPU SSD integrated

365
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:14,399
Graphics Ultra books suck not enough power okay Dom we're sorry uh 60 new

366
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,120
interactions okay okay I'm just going to take these 60 if you guys do want to

367
00:26:16,399 --> 00:26:22,159
participate in the whole like Twitter thing I need you guys to like be on the

368
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:25,880
ball on your tweets because I can only read so many of them slim and Powerful

369
00:26:24,039 --> 00:26:29,399
battery life size and weight okay I'm I'm looking for a few different things

370
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:34,240
here guys that I'm not see yet because there's way more to Ultra Book than I

371
00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:38,919
actually understood myself but the uh we had one of Intel's field guys in today

372
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:45,000
and he explained all the different aspects of things that um Austin Austin

373
00:26:42,679 --> 00:26:49,039
you can watch the live stream after on the YouTube channel so I can't I can't I

374
00:26:47,159 --> 00:26:51,760
can't redo the whole thing just for you Ultra books are nice I wouldn't buy one

375
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:56,760
so yeah he explained all the different stuff that goes into it none of you are getting it which is uh which is awesome

376
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:05,000
because I feel a little bit better about me not knowing what an Ultra Book was about okay so number one then then then

377
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:09,279
form factor form factor is huge so depending on the screen size the

378
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:14,480
diagonal screen size Intel has different specs for how thick an Ultrabook is

379
00:27:11,919 --> 00:27:17,640
allowed to be to still be an Ultrabook okay so if you have a bigger screen size

380
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:24,559
you're allowed a little bit more thickness and it can still be an Ultrabook okay battery life honestly

381
00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:29,360
Intel isn't too stringent on battery life the requirement is 5 hours and

382
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:34,080
that's that means five hours of like real five hours not like five hours of

383
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:38,559
like you put it in hibernate and you try not to like go too close to it and it'll

384
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:43,200
last for five hours no five hours with Wi-Fi with using the computer of actual

385
00:27:41,399 --> 00:27:47,440
General usage and Intel validates this stuff okay however the sort of the

386
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:51,840
recommended what we're seeing more commonly is closer to around eight hours

387
00:27:49,679 --> 00:27:55,880
which is fantastic I mean eight hours is long enough that you can realistically

388
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,679
use the computer in sort of an all day type environment as long as you're

389
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:02,919
putting it to sleep whenever you're not using it and then waking up when you are

390
00:28:00,399 --> 00:28:09,760
using it aha which leads us to another spec so a lot of you suggested that an

391
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:14,200
SSD is a necessary part of the Ultrabook

392
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:16,320
spec it is not an SSD is a great way to

393
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:19,679
meet the Ultrabook spec because it'll mean that you can have a thinner form

394
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:23,120
factor if you're using like an M SATA SSD it'll mean that your power

395
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:30,279
consumption will be really low it'll run really cool um it will also enable fast

396
00:28:27,159 --> 00:28:32,440
wake from sleep times and overall Snappy

397
00:28:30,279 --> 00:28:37,840
performance so Intel has a spec that says it can take no longer than seven

398
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:41,640
seconds for an Ultrabook to wake from sleep now when uh his name is Ben we're

399
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:47,440
going to have a couple episodes on the ncixcom channel featuring him in the

400
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:50,120
next uh next week or two um so Ben

401
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:54,320
pointed out to me that with an SSD an Ultra Book can typically and oh yeah

402
00:28:52,159 --> 00:28:58,200
boot boot times are uh are probably looked at as well although it wasn't on

403
00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:02,200
the list of things that are and analyzed so the UEFI BIOS went very quickly the

404
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:06,159
first time we booted it up and it booted up extremely quickly then when we put it

405
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:10,640
to sleep and opened it up it took less than two steambow less than two seconds

406
00:29:08,399 --> 00:29:15,039
to be fully functional when it was coming up from sleep so an SSD enables

407
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:20,279
that however an SSD isn't the only way to do it you are allowed as a laptop

408
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:25,480
manufacturer to implement a hybrid solution such as a hard drive with an

409
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:31,480
SSD cache the SSD cache has to be at least 16 gigs and with that hybrid

410
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,880
solution you can honestly with the hard

411
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:36,720
drive you would just wouldn't be able to meet the spec Intel doesn't explicitly

412
00:29:34,679 --> 00:29:40,600
say you can't use a plane hard drive but what they do say is you have to adhere

413
00:29:38,679 --> 00:29:45,519
to this performance standard which rules out hard drives so with a hybrid drive

414
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:50,039
you can meet that spec while not having the add extra expense of going with a

415
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:54,799
straight SSD solution so something like a momentus XT or a separate 16 gig on an

416
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:58,039
MSA with a separate mechanical hard drive running in the Shell uh these are

417
00:29:56,679 --> 00:30:02,880
solutions that the partners can Implement so okay so there's a

418
00:30:00,399 --> 00:30:07,240
performance aspect um it has to use a third generation core I3 I5 or i7

419
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:11,399
processor I you know personally I wouldn't mind if they locked it down to

420
00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:14,480
just i5s and i7s I mean um at the point where you're looking at low power i3s

421
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:21,000
they're not um they're not going to deliver that that snappiness that

422
00:30:16,399 --> 00:30:24,000
performance um connectivity an Ultrabook

423
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:26,640
must have a highspeed connectivity Now

424
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:32,840
Intel doesn't specify what that is but in Practical terms it must have a USB 3

425
00:30:29,519 --> 00:30:35,240
port and it or or sorry or it must have

426
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:38,679
a Thunderbolt port or both it has to have at least one though uh one of the

427
00:30:37,679 --> 00:30:43,159
other things with respect to connectivity is that I believe business

428
00:30:40,679 --> 00:30:48,279
class Ultrabooks must have an Ethernet port they can't rely solely on Wi-Fi now

429
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:51,039
all Ultrabooks do have to have Wi-Fi which makes sense because none of them

430
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:55,279
really have Optical drives and if you had no Wi-Fi and this Ultrabook this

431
00:30:53,559 --> 00:30:58,919
like portable device that actually you have to plug in every time you use it

432
00:30:56,559 --> 00:31:03,240
that would be stupid but um that's an aside at this point moving along to some

433
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:10,120
of the other things Ultrabooks must have right they must have Intel's identity

434
00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:12,039
protection technology and they must have

435
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:18,120
Intel's anti- theft technology now we did a really cool Tech tips um about

436
00:31:15,639 --> 00:31:21,799
Intel anti- theft technology and I'm going to give you guys uh I'm actually

437
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:27,440
going to give those of you who are who are subscribed to uh who not subscribed

438
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:33,000
see I'm so used to being like a YouTuber those of you you who are following me on

439
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:35,320
Twitter I am going to explain one of the

440
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:41,480
most cryptic things that I have ever uploaded to the internet ever today so

441
00:31:39,639 --> 00:31:45,120
this was an image that I that I uploaded today this is the Crazy Russian for

442
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:52,279
those of you who asked if that's slick of course it isn't slick it's the Russian look how Russian he looks um so

443
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:55,039
that's him drawing an evil mustache on

444
00:31:52,279 --> 00:32:01,519
yours truly so the episode we shot today was really cool because we uh we had me

445
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:05,559
steal Ben's Ultra Book steal I mean I didn't keep it you know although maybe I

446
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:10,320
should have actually I couldn't have because I stole it I went to a nearby

447
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,200
Starbucks where I could get on the Wi-Fi and then I gave him a call and we did

448
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:19,159
kind of like a fake thing like it was kind of fun we were like Ben I stole your Ultra Book and I going to log into

449
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:24,880
your Facebook and I'm G to message your grandmother and um and so Ben was like

450
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:31,000
well no lonus I'm going to use my anti- theft technology which is built into the

451
00:32:26,919 --> 00:32:33,519
ultra book at a pre-bio level so there's

452
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:38,960
like there's like hardware and then there's like like bare metal firmware

453
00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:43,279
then there's BIOS which is programmable you can erase and and reflash it then

454
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:48,240
there's your OS okay so it's built in at this level um and what he was able to do

455
00:32:46,039 --> 00:32:51,200
and the subscription to mcafe service I think cost like 60 bucks a year or

456
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:54,559
something like that what he was able to do was he was able to tell his Ultra

457
00:32:52,960 --> 00:33:00,399
Book you can tell it a couple things you can tell it if you go too long without

458
00:32:56,399 --> 00:33:02,480
an internet connection shut off and lock

459
00:33:00,399 --> 00:33:09,360
you can also tell it next time you have network connectivity shut off lock um

460
00:33:06,679 --> 00:33:15,399
you can't get around this reformatting the OS will not help reflashing the BIOS

461
00:33:13,639 --> 00:33:18,440
will not help once it's locked so once he locked it and I was sitting there I

462
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:22,480
was able to show the screen to the camera and go okay there's a message

463
00:33:20,679 --> 00:33:26,360
from Ben hi this says Ben please return my laptop and you cannot boot The

464
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:30,960
Notebook no matter what you do which is very very cool so that is required as

465
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,440
part of the Ultrabook spec every Ultra Book must have that feature so if you

466
00:33:32,919 --> 00:33:38,760
pay for the service then you'll be able to uh we were even able to see where the

467
00:33:36,559 --> 00:33:43,200
Ultrabook was within about a couple block radius just using uh just using

468
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:47,039
the IP address that it was that it uh that was registered to it when it was uh

469
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:50,080
when it was on the Wi-Fi so very very very cool stuff I'm just going to see if

470
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:54,760
there's anything else that I'm forgetting about the whole Ultrabook

471
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:58,639
concept uh I don't think so I can see if there's any more any more tweets about

472
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:04,320
Ultrabook and if of course there's probably like 1

473
00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:07,080
billion um okay change the Ultrabook

474
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:12,119
topic okay I'm sorry I'm sorry the Ultrabook topic isn't interesting for

475
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,399
you uh something about gangdam style

476
00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:18,159
okay we're not talking about that okay you guys aren't interested in Ultrabook

477
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:21,000
fine be like that fine fine we'll move on to a new topic okay so my next

478
00:34:19,879 --> 00:34:25,560
actually you know what Let's do let's do a short Q&A and then I'll move on to uh

479
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:31,000
then I'll move on to my next topic so I'm just going to look for some of the

480
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:32,839
stuff Dom why do retail shops say one or

481
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:38,320
two gig graphics and not the specs of the card because retail shops you know

482
00:34:35,240 --> 00:34:40,079
big box retail guys who rely on the

483
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:45,839
ignorance of their customers to make additional margin don't want to tell you

484
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:52,599
any spec that will be helpful because from their perspective like okay this is

485
00:34:49,399 --> 00:34:54,320
a 2 gig graphics card so from their

486
00:34:52,599 --> 00:34:59,240
perspective would they rather sell you so this this costs like 300 bucks okay

487
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:04,200
so would they rather convince you that the Cheapo graphics card that they have

488
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:08,640
you know like let's say a GT 640 or something that they want to charge 150

489
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:14,359
bucks for would they rather convince you that that two gig card is as good as any

490
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:18,640
other two gig card absolutely and because the customers walking into these

491
00:35:16,119 --> 00:35:23,800
places don't have the knowledge and the experience to know that the GPU the

492
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:28,359
memory bus the amount of memory the speed of the memory the type of the

493
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:30,760
memory all of these things are way

494
00:35:28,359 --> 00:35:35,880
way more important than the amount of memory on a video card in fact for any

495
00:35:33,359 --> 00:35:41,040
lowend to mid-range card the amount of memory is actually almost totally

496
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:46,079
meaningless because it doesn't have the GPU horsepower to back up that memory

497
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:49,520
anyway so with that 2 gig frame I mean okay you could take a gt640 you could

498
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:55,560
put a 4 gig frame buffer on it there's no reason you couldn't do

499
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:58,440
it that card could potentially hold

500
00:35:55,560 --> 00:36:04,359
enough texture data in its frame buffer to power like a six monitor gaming setup

501
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:08,000
but that GPU would only be able to run that setup at one frame per second so

502
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:12,880
who cares can have all the memory it wants it's totally irrelevant because it

503
00:36:10,599 --> 00:36:16,800
will be bottlenecked by the GPU power long before the memory amount even

504
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:21,319
matters 640 could be a 512 Meg card it wouldn't even matter um and the same

505
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:26,280
thing goes for even high-end cards as well so something like a 6 60 TI unless

506
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:30,440
you're running surround you don't need more than two gigs um if you are running

507
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:33,839
surround all of a sudden more memory starts to matter because it has the GPU

508
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:37,599
horsepower to back it up so it all comes down to resolution as well as how

509
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,760
demanding the textures of the game are if you're running high-r texture packs

510
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:46,480
now we're talking about a completely different thing where memory could be the difference between chugging along at

511
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:51,800
10 FPS because it has to swap out to the system memory all the time and running

512
00:36:48,319 --> 00:36:55,240
at a smooth 30 40 FPS so there hopefully

513
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:58,359
that addresses the topic of GPU memory

514
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:59,760
once and for all let's go ahead and have

515
00:36:58,359 --> 00:37:05,359
a look at some of the newer tweets that came in once 81 81 tweets okay so let's

516
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,760
have a look at some of the people who tweeted sort of first here so these are

517
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,839
two minutes does that mean you could also hack into the anti thefting to lock

518
00:37:10,319 --> 00:37:18,640
up someone's computer I guess in theory I don't know that that's actually been done

519
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:21,880
yet um Alex is in a good mood cool story

520
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:24,880
Alex uh building a webcam Ultra

521
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,960
Book an Ultra Book with AMD's apus would

522
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:31,720
be great for portable gaming fantastic Point Alex Wagner so I don't know if you

523
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:36,680
guys saw my episode about AMD's or rather two episodes on my NCIX Tech tips

524
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:39,560
Channel about AMD's apus so what we discovered is that as a CPU with

525
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:45,040
dedicated graphics yeah um it's semi-competitive

526
00:37:43,079 --> 00:37:48,760
with core I3 like it does okay okay it does okay but it's not winning any

527
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:54,960
awards however if you're using the onboard Graphics it wipes the floor with

528
00:37:52,400 --> 00:38:00,119
not only a core I3 but a core i5 core i7 doesn't matter if you talk onboard

529
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:03,119
graphics versus onboard Graphics Apu

530
00:38:00,119 --> 00:38:05,000
destroys Intel so uh an Ultra Book with

531
00:38:03,119 --> 00:38:08,400
APU Graphics would actually be fantastic for Ultra portable gaming I am super

532
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:12,960
excited though to see what Intel's Haswell brings to the table because

533
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:16,800
Haswell is going to be very power efficient and they are going to be

534
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:19,280
dramatically boosting up the performance of the

535
00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:25,480
GPU um Derek says thank you for saying

536
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:31,079
my name you're welcome again Derek uh David says i' prefer GPS me too

537
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:34,680
but it costs more to implement so what do you want me to say uh I'm sure that

538
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:38,440
they could do it with GPS it's just that's not the requirement

539
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:43,880
yet um Troy line is how can I stop my Galaxy

540
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:47,480
S from discharging when I charging it and using it could I buy a different

541
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:51,160
battery please Troy the only thing I can tell you is uh get maybe a higher

542
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:54,680
powerered USB port if that's what you're charging it off of um there are some

543
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:58,040
motherboards that have like superpowered like 3x powered USB ports that'll charge

544
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:01,440
things faster um just make sure you don't totally

545
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:08,280
exceed the amount of current that's uh supposed to be used to charge

546
00:39:03,079 --> 00:39:12,599
that um join lus fan club what is this

547
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:14,599
lus fan club that is a bizarre thing sir

548
00:39:12,599 --> 00:39:19,480
um I will create a Facebook profile at some point but um yeah I don't I don't

549
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:23,920
necessarily think I need a fan club per se that's an awesome security feature

550
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:28,760
what are your thoughts on sleekbook I haven't heard of sleekbook

551
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:31,680
unfortunately uh what is the

552
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:38,000
what you see improved what do you think Kyle what's your favorite junk food my

553
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:39,839
favorite junk food um Lindor chocolates

554
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:44,480
I love Lindor chocolates I'm a total girl when it comes to Lindor chocolates

555
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:48,920
rephrase says did you know that raising a baby costs $80,000 okay I mean that's

556
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:53,800
sort of an arbitrary number especially because anyone starting raising a baby

557
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:57,119
now will still be raising a baby 18 years from now which means that those

558
00:39:55,240 --> 00:40:03,040
numbers will be totally irrelevant because of inflation and whatever else

559
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:05,800
but yeah that's cool okay uh Michael VA

560
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:12,920
or PLS PLS for sure so PLS is actually closer in terms of the technology to IPS

561
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:16,319
than it is to a PVA or MVA however I was

562
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:19,200
just made aware today of a new VA it's

563
00:40:16,319 --> 00:40:25,319
going to be called ha vaa or something like that you know what I'm going to

564
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:29,560
have to look this up but uh google.ca

565
00:40:25,319 --> 00:40:31,400
haava panel no no that might not be it

566
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:35,319
uh Ben Q

567
00:40:33,119 --> 00:40:39,720
Ava hva shoot I'm I'm I'm boned I can't

568
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:45,400
figure it out so so BenQ has a new monitor coming that's using a new panel

569
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:47,520
type that is not a PLS it's not an IPS

570
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:53,119
but it's similar in technology and they're super excited it's going to have

571
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:56,440
100% srgb color gamut it's going to have

572
00:40:53,119 --> 00:40:58,839
a 178° viewing angle so the spec looks

573
00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:03,680
very similar to can be achieved with PLS but right now based on what's actually

574
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:09,040
available at this moment I'm a huge PLS guy I love

575
00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:13,560
PLS um Colin don't worry nothing happens to your warranty on 660ti Plat power

576
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:18,160
Edition nothing happens MSI will still deal with

577
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:23,720
it okay when can we expect something something what do you think of okay ye

578
00:41:22,119 --> 00:41:28,920
wants to know what do you think of the future of LGA 2011 after Ivy bridg will

579
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:32,040
a new socket be introduced for Haswell e right now I don't think anyone knows for

580
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:40,040
those of you who don't have the context for this question um LGA 2011 is now two

581
00:41:36,319 --> 00:41:42,920
generations behind LGA 1155 in terms of

582
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:47,480
the CPU architecture it is still using Sandy bridge- e for I don't know

583
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:52,720
Enthusiast workstation whatever e stands for so Sandy Bridge has been wait hold

584
00:41:50,599 --> 00:41:57,240
on Sandy Bridge no sorry it's one generation behind and once Haswell

585
00:41:54,640 --> 00:42:01,160
Launches on LGA 1155 it will be two Generations behind so by the time it

586
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:04,800
gets a refresh it'll be two behind so what does that mean so it means that in

587
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:09,720
terms of instruction per clock it is behind so single threaded performance is

588
00:42:07,079 --> 00:42:16,079
actually lower on LGA 2011 than it is on 1155 in spite of 2011 being the

589
00:42:12,319 --> 00:42:16,079
Enthusiast platform

590
00:42:16,599 --> 00:42:24,079
okay are enthusiasts happy about this I don't know uh personally as a 2011 user

591
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:29,359
I wish I had an IV Bridge uh processor to drop in my system I wish that I you

592
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:31,480
know had Haswell e to go into my system

593
00:42:29,359 --> 00:42:35,920
so that's the disadvantage of 2011 is we seem to be getting a bit of a short

594
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:41,079
straw in terms of upgrades um however the advantage of

595
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:47,240
2011 is that it's getting a much more advanced so much more robust overall

596
00:42:43,559 --> 00:42:49,559
architecture so 2011 when Ivy Bridge

597
00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:56,960
gets its refresh so right now okay so we had Sandy bridge and Sandy Bridge e LGA

598
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:59,599
2011 LGA 1155 then we got Ivy bridge

599
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:03,280
then then on 1155 this is 1155 we're going to get Haswell so Intel will have

600
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:07,800
gone through two architectural changes then we're going to get Ivy Bridge e

601
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:13,240
which will be sort of caught up but still a generation behind however LGA

602
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:17,440
1155 will not have more than four cores Intel's already said this they won't get

603
00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:20,960
more than four cores 2011 already has six cores if you're like me you render a

604
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:24,079
lot of video six cores there's actually more important than a few more

605
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:29,800
instructions per clock okay so once we get once we get

606
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:33,520
Ivy Bridge e we're going to get anywhere from 10 to 12 cores and these will be

607
00:43:32,119 --> 00:43:39,000
high performance cores because there's no need to have a GPU Core built in as

608
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:44,680
for what happens in the future I hope we'll get Haswell but honestly I kind of

609
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:51,280
doubt it however looking back at LGA 1366 so remember 1366 lasted

610
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:56,200
throughout part of 775 you know 775 was still there on the

611
00:43:53,720 --> 00:44:00,400
low end when 1366 was a premium platform lasted through

612
00:43:57,720 --> 00:44:04,280
1156 and was still relevant once we moved to 1155 if I recall correctly

613
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:08,599
although I could be getting that mix either way 1366 lasted for multiple

614
00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:12,240
mainstream sockets and there's no reason to believe that LGA 2011 won't last

615
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:16,240
through multiple mainstream sockets it's got all those pins um worst case

616
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:20,559
scenario they might do a chipset refresh or something like that but they probably

617
00:44:17,599 --> 00:44:25,559
won't change the socket and um I guess basically I don't really

618
00:44:22,559 --> 00:44:27,839
know Nick says can I have a shout out

619
00:44:25,559 --> 00:44:31,559
please okay Nick you are

620
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,760
shouted um Raz wants to know can you please tell me what should be the

621
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:39,160
maximum temperature for overclocking a video card Raz there isn't really a maximum temperature it depends on the

622
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:42,000
card so unfortunately it's one of those questions that I know you've tweeted

623
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:46,800
this at me a few times but I don't really have an answer most modern cards

624
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:50,079
are good up to 90 95 degrees um and they're actually designed to run like

625
00:44:48,079 --> 00:44:52,760
that however you can see what Intel and AMD have been doing with the last couple

626
00:44:51,359 --> 00:44:56,359
Generations improving the power efficiency and improving the

627
00:44:54,520 --> 00:45:02,319
temperatures that they're probably not trying to have their gpus run so hot

628
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:06,720
anymore thank you Matt I'm doing well and I hope you are doing well as well ah

629
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:09,680
yes air great question this is one of the other topics that I wanted to launch

630
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:17,040
into so we're going to go ahead and do that now why is quad SLI a terrible idea

631
00:45:15,240 --> 00:45:22,200
for a gaming machine and I should clarify oops amir's question is actually

632
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:27,599
not as terrible so he wants to know would you recommend two GTX 690s or four

633
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:30,079
GTX 680s for extreme benchmarking easy

634
00:45:27,599 --> 00:45:33,480
answer for GTX 680s the reason for that is they overclock better than 690s

635
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:38,960
although that's not as true anymore so you'd have to find ones that overvolt

636
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:43,240
um along the lines of that green light topic we were talking about

637
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:46,440
earlier um and just the fact that in terms of thermals you will be less

638
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:50,839
limited because you can use better cooling on them by having them

639
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:56,200
separated now forget extreme benchmarking I have a lot of people ask

640
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:59,000
me about anything beyond two-way SLI so

641
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:04,280
three-way SLI four-way SLI they'll say hey is this a good deal good idea should

642
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:07,319
I get uh should I get dual 690s should I

643
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:10,040
get uh should I get quad 680s or triple

644
00:46:07,319 --> 00:46:14,200
680s or what whatever else okay so few things so number one power consumption

645
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:20,079
is going to go through the roof number two the actual effici like the actual

646
00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:25,920
performance you gain I did a great video about this the actual performance you

647
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:29,640
gain from three-way SLI oh shoot there

648
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:31,680
we go 3-way SLI Linus let's try

649
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:35,920
searching for that here so the actual performance you gain from 3way SLI from

650
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:40,839
2way SLI is actually very small you guys should check out this video that I did a

651
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:44,240
while back so this was GTX 690 versus

652
00:46:40,839 --> 00:46:45,559
3-way 670 and yeah you should definitely

653
00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:50,440
check that out it's it's kind of an analysis of the scaling of these gpus as

654
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:54,920
well you don't get much in terms of performance now if you go okay lonus I

655
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:58,599
don't care money is no object for me it doesn't matter I am willing to blow this

656
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:03,319
money on these gpus I want to have a great gaming experience I want the

657
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:05,400
maximum FPS to which I would reply wrong

658
00:47:03,319 --> 00:47:10,680
you're wrong that's not what you want you do not just want maximum FPS there

659
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:16,119
is more to gaming there is more to a high-end system than throwing more

660
00:47:12,720 --> 00:47:18,760
graphics cards into it so I see people

661
00:47:16,119 --> 00:47:24,000
um and dual 690s I guess is less ridiculous than triple and quadruple

662
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:30,160
cards for this reason we've only got seven expansions

663
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:32,880
slot on even your highest end board

664
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:37,240
something like an ASRock extreme 11 uh where they actually manage to implement

665
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:43,240
Seven slots on a 2011 board that's your best case scenario if you install three

666
00:47:41,599 --> 00:47:47,720
graphics cards never mind four where there'll be absolutely no slots left if

667
00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:49,359
you install three graphics cards on most

668
00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:52,160
motherboards you'll have no slots left over or you'll have like a PCI slot or

669
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,720
something stupid due to the way that they do the slot layouts if you have

670
00:47:54,319 --> 00:48:03,319
four graphics cards you will have none so let's assume you have n where's your

671
00:47:58,079 --> 00:48:04,640
sound card where is your raid card where

672
00:48:03,319 --> 00:48:09,680
is your anything your HDMI capture card for

673
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:14,240
streaming your gaming or your G for casting or whatever else most

674
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:19,720
importantly where is your sound card anyone who thinks that sound is not an

675
00:48:17,240 --> 00:48:25,160
important aspect of gaming and is willing to compromise on the sound

676
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:31,240
experience use their onboard sound instead

677
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:33,079
of or is willing to use that for the

678
00:48:31,240 --> 00:48:38,839
pleasure of putting in another graphics card to get another 10% 15% maybe 20%

679
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:43,680
performance Improvement is just wrong you're wrong because a huge part of a

680
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:49,480
cinematic experience whether it's movies or games a huge part of your immersion

681
00:48:46,720 --> 00:48:53,480
is the sound experience why do you enjoy the movie theater why did you I mean

682
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:56,960
let's okay not even today where we've got digital production and great screens

683
00:48:55,319 --> 00:49:01,920
in most movie theaters let's go back to years ago when most movie theaters had

684
00:48:59,319 --> 00:49:06,640
like little pops and circles and sort of artifacts all over the screen were you

685
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:10,760
going there to see the movie big yes were you going there to see the movie on

686
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:16,599
like this pristine crystal clear screen no you were going there to get

687
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:21,839
absolutely rocked by their 20.2 surround system with huge

688
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:26,839
subwoofers because it makes for a more IM immersive experience there is more to

689
00:49:24,359 --> 00:49:30,839
life than more graphics cards and more Gamers need to realize this I've

690
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:34,839
actually made a point of retweeting some of the tweets people have sent me lonus

691
00:49:32,599 --> 00:49:39,359
you talked me into buying a sound card holy crap I can't believe I ever

692
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:44,799
listened to those people who said that a sound card doesn't make a difference get

693
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:47,920
a real sound card get a proper headset

694
00:49:44,799 --> 00:49:50,319
get proper speakers you will thank me do

695
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:54,160
not buy more graphics cards two graphics cards is pretty much enough here's

696
00:49:52,319 --> 00:49:59,079
another reason so people might respond to me lonus I need more graphics cards

697
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:03,520
because I'm going to run six monitors or I'm going to run I'm going to run three

698
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:09,599
super high resolution displays wrong again the reason for that is that in SLI

699
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:11,440
the graphics cards actually don't build

700
00:50:09,599 --> 00:50:16,559
on each other's memory if you have two 2 gig graphics cards you have two gigs of

701
00:50:13,720 --> 00:50:23,240
vram effectively if you have two 3 gig graphics cards you have three

702
00:50:20,720 --> 00:50:27,480
gigs of Graphics memory that is actually usable by your system if you have four 3

703
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:32,640
gig graphics cards I know I'm emphasizing this a lot you have 3 gigs

704
00:50:30,559 --> 00:50:36,680
of address Graphics memory which means that by the time you got to a resolution

705
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:41,599
that would benefit from all these additional graphics cards in any meaningful way you're going to run out

706
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:47,599
of vram oh which brings me back to actually 680 quad SLI versus 690 SLI so

707
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:52,559
that's right that's why 69 I forgot right so 680 quad SLI or triple SLI is

708
00:50:50,799 --> 00:50:59,000
terrible because you lose all of your expandability for your system fantastic

709
00:50:55,799 --> 00:51:01,200
and then quad SLI with 690s is terrible

710
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:05,400
because you have a 2 gig frame buffer way to go with your 2 gig frame buffer

711
00:51:03,319 --> 00:51:09,960
which is not useful for anything higher than about 2560 x600 single display

712
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:14,240
you're not going to be using a 2 gig frame buffer to get an optimal

713
00:51:11,799 --> 00:51:19,440
experience on Triple displays you'd probably be better off going with like

714
00:51:16,359 --> 00:51:21,920
dual 67 all right like dual 660 Ti 3

715
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:26,280
gigs or something like that actually no that's probably not fair I mean dual

716
00:51:23,599 --> 00:51:32,440
6804 gigs or something along those lines May actually be a better solution than

717
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:35,799
290s because of the limited vrm so there

718
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:37,720
that's my lecture on trip SLI quad SLI

719
00:51:35,799 --> 00:51:44,240
and all those kinds of solutions that for 99.9% of people who aren't trying to

720
00:51:41,240 --> 00:51:45,520
do what whoopsy daisies where's my uh

721
00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:50,680
where's my Twitter there we go who aren't trying to do what Air's talking about where you're just trying to set a

722
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:54,440
benchmark record it doesn't make sense all right so now that I've done

723
00:51:53,079 --> 00:51:59,760
another topic why don't we do a little bit more uh why don't we do a little bit

724
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:03,359
more conversation sidarth I actually don't know of a mechanical keyboard with

725
00:52:01,599 --> 00:52:06,640
blue or brown switches that has a backl I think uh ducky might have something

726
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:12,559
but it's nothing that I've uh that I've ever actually used so I'm sorry I got

727
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,559
nothing I got

728
00:52:17,359 --> 00:52:23,640
nothing H this is funny uh Alex great

729
00:52:21,240 --> 00:52:27,839
suggestion actually this is planned Alex writes in can you do a giveaway where we

730
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:31,520
have to make a nerd rage video and you judge them and pick the best one I

731
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:35,040
haven't announced this in any way so this live stream will be the first time

732
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:40,200
anyone's hearing about this but Corsair is actually sponsoring a contest I'm

733
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:41,520
going to have five k90 keyboards so

734
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:47,559
these are like 100 plus dollar mechanical keyboards backlights macros

735
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:49,119
the whole works cherry red switches I'm

736
00:52:47,559 --> 00:52:54,400
going to have five of them to give away to the five best nerd rage videos

737
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:59,760
however don't start working on your video now I can't emphasize this enough

738
00:52:56,559 --> 00:53:01,760
I'm going to have rules and requirements

739
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:05,400
there have been fantastic videos that have been submitted for my video

740
00:53:03,359 --> 00:53:10,079
response contest in the past that have been disqualified because they didn't

741
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:13,359
listen to the requirements okay you're going to have to pay special close

742
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:17,040
attention to what will be the judging requirements and I don't want to hear

743
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:21,799
any complaining if you don't win because you didn't participate correctly however

744
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:25,280
that giveaway is coming probably I'll have a video up sometime in the next

745
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:31,319
couple weeks so that's uh that's very exciting um um CW any faults about the

746
00:53:29,079 --> 00:53:34,480
Nexus 7 Nexus 7 is a fantastic value have you guys heard about the price drop

747
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:39,880
that's coming it's going to be $199 for the 16 gig and they're introducing a 32

748
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:44,200
gig holy crap like it makes it like the best value ever it has a teger 3

749
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:49,640
processor which is actually fast on like well Egra 2 was not that fast GPU wise

750
00:53:46,839 --> 00:53:54,040
it was pretty good but um CPU wise honestly my Galaxy Tab 10.1 is kind of

751
00:53:52,599 --> 00:54:01,760
not not generating a great user experience for me these days

752
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:01,760
um thank you Caleb his his name was big

753
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:07,880
something what else we got here Dale I

754
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:10,559
get a lot of questions about this what power supply would you recommend this is

755
00:54:09,359 --> 00:54:15,640
sort of the general question so I'm going to answer Dale's specific question

756
00:54:12,559 --> 00:54:17,359
when I'm sing GTX 660 Ti I have three

757
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:21,680
200 MIM fans and maybe of course our h100 or 150 Dale you haven't given me

758
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:25,400
nearly enough information if I'd read your entire tweet before I started

759
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:28,160
reading it out loud I probably wouldn't have responded to this question because

760
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:32,960
the information you're giving me is totally useless I know you have two 660

761
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:37,680
Ti which means you need at least a 700 750 wat power supply however you haven't

762
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:43,440
told me what CPU you have you haven't told me um well anything else like are

763
00:54:41,799 --> 00:54:48,200
you running 10 hard drives in here are you going to have a whole bunch of different powered peripherals running

764
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:53,160
off the back of the USB are you going to have are you going to be overclocking um

765
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:55,640
fans consume like nothing people who tell me like who ask me what power

766
00:54:54,480 --> 00:55:01,760
supply do I need and they tell me all the fans they're running in their system I'm like all those fans maybe like two

767
00:55:00,079 --> 00:55:06,440
Watts out of your power supply totally irrelevant totally doesn't matter um

768
00:55:03,599 --> 00:55:11,440
same thing with a course h100 um it doesn't really consume a significant

769
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:15,839
amount of power so shout out to sou America I almost said South Africa shout

770
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:21,559
out to that too but you know um hesu says why do people mistake

771
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:26,960
earphones for headphones in vice versa I just wanted to get that point out there

772
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:28,280
because it's annoying okay hu 27 2 new

773
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:32,760
interactions you guys are killing me here you know what I'm going to actually

774
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:38,079
I'm going to launch into a new a new topic here because 272 interactions is a

775
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:42,760
fantastic point so we are going to run through the math of why I cannot reply

776
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:46,920
to every Twitter message I get since I started running the contest I have

777
00:55:45,079 --> 00:55:53,680
received more than 1,000 Twitter messages per day Twitter

778
00:55:50,799 --> 00:55:58,240
actually has a hard limit of 1,000 tweets that I can send out per day so

779
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:04,000
that means if I sat there and typed at my computer and literally replied to a

780
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:05,880
thousand messages I would actually get

781
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:09,440
my account like I've run into it a few times in the last week they will just

782
00:56:07,599 --> 00:56:14,119
say you have reached your Tweet limit you cannot tweet

783
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:17,240
anymore okay aside from that they split

784
00:56:14,119 --> 00:56:18,920
up that thousand tweet limit into time

785
00:56:17,240 --> 00:56:21,960
chunks throughout the day so you can only do like a 100 at a time and you

786
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:25,720
have to spread it out through the day so I don't even have the option of like

787
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:28,960
lying in bed with my laptop and typing like this or sitting down and like

788
00:56:27,559 --> 00:56:32,839
hammering them away and trying to get caught up because Twitter is going to

789
00:56:30,599 --> 00:56:36,160
get after me after I do 100 tweets or so and say hey oh no it's okay wait a few

790
00:56:34,559 --> 00:56:41,799
hours and then you can tweet some more so um for those of you who are who

791
00:56:39,720 --> 00:56:44,960
are upset that I wasn't able to reply to you or you're tweeting me and I'm not

792
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:48,400
responding to you you know what I'm going to do my best that's all I can do

793
00:56:46,799 --> 00:56:54,240
when I have some time I'm going to fire up my phone I'm going to fire up my laptop I'm going to I'm going to hammer

794
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:58,000
out some tweets um but beyond that there's just nothing I can do the sheer

795
00:56:55,880 --> 00:57:04,240
volume of messages I reive like guys think about this okay go and read a

796
00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:07,440
tweet and then like reply to it and then

797
00:57:04,240 --> 00:57:09,559
yourself now times a thousand every day

798
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:13,760
I have a full-time job I have these videos I have a live stream when I do a

799
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:19,359
live stream it's going to completely wipe out my place where I was and it's

800
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:23,240
going to absolutely destroy any progress I could have possibly made at catching

801
00:57:21,599 --> 00:57:28,200
up because in this live stream alone I've already received well over 600

802
00:57:25,119 --> 00:57:30,200
tweets so so I'm sorry guys I do my best

803
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:33,079
it's all I can do it is not mathematically possible for me to reply

804
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:37,960
to the tweets and that doesn't even get into the point that once I reply to a

805
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:42,079
tweet that person usually tweets me back which means that what was a thousand

806
00:57:39,799 --> 00:57:45,760
tweets once I reply to them is probably going to turn into more like 1500 once I

807
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:49,440
have to reply a second time and then maybe even let's say half of those

808
00:57:47,119 --> 00:57:53,160
people again reply to me again so now every thousand tweets is actually

809
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:56,599
probably more like 1,700 tweets by the time I'm actually done addressing the

810
00:57:54,680 --> 00:58:00,079
person's question so this this is why I think I need a forum this is why I think

811
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:04,760
I need a way for you guys to interact with each other and not just me because

812
00:58:02,039 --> 00:58:09,599
I will die um speaking of which Twitter I mean if you guys want to sort of find

813
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:13,000
anything at Linus Tech and throw in your own answers that would be great that

814
00:58:11,319 --> 00:58:16,760
would actually be immensely helpful for me because I can't reply to them all on

815
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:21,039
my own all right what else we got here tiny

816
00:58:19,319 --> 00:58:26,400
the boss says hey lonus how come you haven't posted a pick of your kid sitting in front of a PC yet I actually

817
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:30,000
have taken one but uh you're right I haven't posted one yet I'll see if I can

818
00:58:28,039 --> 00:58:34,119
find it um I'm not sure if I know where it is because my my wife keeps track of

819
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:37,200
all the baby pictures and all that um new says what do you think of the GTX

820
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:40,680
660 because I'm trying to build a gaming machine that isn't that expensive GTX

821
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:45,079
660 is a good option so is 7870 you should look into both of those uh Nick

822
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:47,440
says I saw the ASUS VG to you know what I'm not going to read the tweets I'm

823
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:54,880
just going to do this why am I doing this um editing looks great What program

824
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:56,920
does diesel use diesel uses Adobe CS6 so

825
00:58:54,880 --> 00:59:02,280
everything you saw done previously by myself or by Slick was done using Vegas

826
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:07,480
um movie studio or whatever the cheap $100 option is cu I'm super cheap um so

827
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:12,200
he's using a real editing software that he he brought his own copy of and uh

828
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:16,119
that is one of the reasons that the NC Tech tips episodes have had a higher

829
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:20,119
standard of quality he's Al he also knows how to use After Effects which is

830
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:24,359
like voodoo magic to me so Phil great

831
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:28,960
question there's really that nothing that's special about a 3960x compared to

832
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:34,160
a 3930k uh it used to be that the extreme Edition was somewhat

833
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:38,480
justifiable uh because it was unlocked so you could break benchmarking records

834
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:43,359
and if you like really wanted sort of the the epen of having an extreme

835
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:47,839
Edition then that was cool but a 3930k has a little bit less cach a little bit

836
00:59:45,799 --> 00:59:52,119
lower stock clock speed and other than that it actually overclocks exactly the

837
00:59:49,799 --> 00:59:57,280
same so we're talking performance within like 1% 2% of each other once you

838
00:59:54,680 --> 01:00:01,920
overclock them both to the max so um I've never recommended a 3960x to anyone

839
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:08,280
uh people do buy them I mean people buy them it's sort of it's cool um yeah I

840
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:13,359
mean go for it you want to be extreme buy an extreme Edition but um yeah it's

841
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:17,359
not something that I've ever really recommended uh can you talk about micro

842
01:00:16,119 --> 01:00:22,480
stuttering you know what I can't talk about micro stuttering I don't see

843
01:00:19,839 --> 01:00:25,400
it um micro stuttering is one of those things that bothers some people a lot

844
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:30,640
more than it bothers other people it's like motion motion blur drives me nuts

845
01:00:28,599 --> 01:00:35,400
on monitors lots of people can't see it at all

846
01:00:32,039 --> 01:00:38,880
so um Eric if I had to would I rather

847
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:41,440
fight one horse sized duck or a hundred

848
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:41,440
duck-sized

849
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:50,799
horses I think I could take the horses because I'm a lot taller than them and

850
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:53,599
if they're the size of a duck I mean all they'd really be able to do is kick me

851
01:00:52,119 --> 01:00:58,480
in the ankles I've actually been kicked by a horse before and before the obvious

852
01:00:56,200 --> 01:01:03,599
joke that explains a lot table slapping you know that's a

853
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:06,920
knee slapping joke right there um before you make that joke it was a baby horse

854
01:01:05,559 --> 01:01:11,520
well not a baby she was a couple months old but um my my family we lived in The

855
01:01:09,359 --> 01:01:15,319
Boondocks and we had we had ostriches and pigs and horses and all kinds of

856
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:20,359
crazy stuff but uh we had a baby horse so so one of our horses we uh we bred

857
01:01:17,839 --> 01:01:23,720
her and she her baby's name was Trixie and um Trixie and I had a little

858
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:27,680
disagreement once about whether she was going to walk with me or whether she was

859
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:32,839
was not going to walk with me and she was going to go off on her and do her own thing so I gave her the I gave her

860
01:01:31,359 --> 01:01:36,200
the business if you guys have horses you know you give them a little you pull

861
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:39,640
down on their on their halter you kind of go look no you get them to bring

862
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:44,160
their head down the head down is a submissive posture for a horse so you're

863
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:47,920
forcing them a little bit okay no look you're going to be submissive doesn't matter what you think about this so when

864
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:54,520
they put their heads up you know rear up that's that's aggressive um okay

865
01:01:51,319 --> 01:01:56,200
so she surprised me and she pulled away

866
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:59,880
really quickly and then she started doing that whole like Bronco

867
01:01:58,279 --> 01:02:03,400
like up and down and up and down thing and she was you know going up on her

868
01:02:01,599 --> 01:02:08,960
front legs and kicking her back legs out behind her and she actually nailed me

869
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:11,599
right in the head so um she got me right

870
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:15,720
about here and there's I'm lucky I'm lucky there's no scar because it did

871
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:21,319
bleed she got me pretty good I actually this is one of the uh two times in my

872
01:02:18,599 --> 01:02:26,880
life that I have that I have seen my entire Vision just like I'm going to

873
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:31,960
simulate it I've seen my Vision just start to okay wow look this thing

874
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:35,480
whatever it starts to go wow this thing gets light even if I cover it completely

875
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:41,720
okay whatever that's the only two times in my life that my vision has actually

876
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:44,680
gone okay come on focus focus focus you

877
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:49,279
got this that my there we go that my vision has gone

878
01:02:47,599 --> 01:02:53,279
black so one of them was when I had blood drawn from me when I was super

879
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:58,520
super sick and I just about passed out on top of the nurse and um

880
01:02:56,520 --> 01:03:01,440
accidentally of course and then the other time was when I got kicked by this

881
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:06,960
horse so what happened was I was like I was standing on my feet she kicked me in

882
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:10,760
the head I blacked out and then I came

883
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:14,000
to in time to hit the ground and luckily

884
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:16,200
I wasn't hurt but man was I ever mad so

885
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:21,119
uh basically she got the old you know grabbed her again no pull down gave her

886
01:03:19,039 --> 01:03:24,720
the old smack on smack on the butt no you're not allowed to do that she seemed

887
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:30,680
sort of genuinely sorry about it but you can never tell with horses they're a uh

888
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:32,760
they're a crafty Bunch um so yeah that's

889
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:37,200
uh that's that's my story about fighting horses and the time that I got uh got

890
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:41,760
kicked in the head by a horse uh Lyndon someone's already asked

891
01:03:39,559 --> 01:03:44,880
that sorry dude uh they're they're lower grade panels so they're cheaper there

892
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:50,559
you go and a the suggestions to use uh here

893
01:03:48,359 --> 01:03:53,920
the suggestions to use Facebook instead of Twitter in order to get around the

894
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:58,640
limit it's like guys the point is I can't reply to a thousand plus messages

895
01:03:56,240 --> 01:04:03,359
a day not so much just the physical impossibility of it but the fact that I

896
01:04:00,559 --> 01:04:08,000
just can't do it um it's just not it's just not not not

897
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:11,079
possible um Christian I have a question why will the number pad on my Razor Naga

898
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:13,960
not work uh there's a switch on the bottom Christian in all likelihood you

899
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:19,880
have it switched to the wrong thing so that would be my guess I could be wrong though um I mean

900
01:04:18,319 --> 01:04:24,559
there's always the crazy thought you could contact Razer and see if they have any thoughts about it it's possible it's

901
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:27,720
defective so they'd be the best ones to talk to about something like that

902
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:34,440
uh noua wants to know what would I recommend isus Sabertooth z77 or the new

903
01:04:32,839 --> 01:04:39,240
motherboard from MSI the Big Bang Empower um honestly either of them are

904
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:43,920
great options so ASUS backs it up with a 5-year warranty which is cool awesome

905
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:48,839
and then MSI has a three-year warranty but they're hand testing every single

906
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:50,400
board in an overclocked scenario so I

907
01:04:48,839 --> 01:04:54,039
don't know you decide which of those two things is more important to you and then

908
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:57,640
like go for it they're both absolutely fantastic options

909
01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,920
all

910
01:05:02,279 --> 01:05:10,359
right Brandon there we go fantastic question

911
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:13,799
when does a motherboard really affect

912
01:05:10,359 --> 01:05:16,279
with an a Brandon really affect

913
01:05:13,799 --> 01:05:19,119
performance uh the answer is sort of complicated so there's a lot of ways

914
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:25,720
that a motherboard can affect performance so in terms of the features

915
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:30,760
that it delivers so uh ausis implementation of USB 3 for example as

916
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:34,760
far as I can tell is superior to what I've seen from other guys you'll get

917
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:38,279
faster performance regardless of you know which here I'm going to see if I've

918
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:42,559
got one in my pocket you know regardless of which usb3 device you're using or

919
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:48,200
whatever the case may be you will get better performance uh from an ASUS

920
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:54,000
chipset uh or from an ASUS board using their as media chipset and their um uasp

921
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:56,880
or their Turbo Modes so that's one of the ways a motherboard can affect

922
01:05:55,160 --> 01:06:01,119
performance um it can affect performance in terms of just what features it has

923
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:06,279
enabled so if you want to run dual Graphics SLI Crossfire you better get a

924
01:06:04,119 --> 01:06:10,920
motherboard that supports it otherwise you won't get that performance because

925
01:06:08,079 --> 01:06:15,039
you can't install those things so there's that it can affect overclocking

926
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:19,119
which means like if you have a better power delivery system it runs cooler uh

927
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:22,720
you're going to get slightly better overclocking results um BIOS

928
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:27,559
optimization is another way that the motherboard can affect performance and

929
01:06:24,559 --> 01:06:29,079
overclocking so um the better they

930
01:06:27,559 --> 01:06:34,079
program the BIOS the better the power delivery is the better it is however

931
01:06:31,559 --> 01:06:39,240
it's not the way it used to be it used to be back in the socket 478 days back

932
01:06:37,279 --> 01:06:42,960
in the socket a days that you could actually like run gaming benchmarks on

933
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:49,160
one motherboard versus another motherboard and you might see a 10% spread in terms of performance which

934
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:53,039
these days totally unheard of it doesn't happen anymore um at at the same speed

935
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:59,599
at the same frequency that's what I'm talking about and that was because of

936
01:06:55,200 --> 01:07:01,640
the way that the manufacturers were um

937
01:06:59,599 --> 01:07:06,119
designing the board I mean they were they were doing so much more work at the

938
01:07:03,359 --> 01:07:10,480
BIOS level because they had to optimize for the communication from the FSB

939
01:07:08,279 --> 01:07:13,400
between the over the FSB between the CPU and the chipset and then from the

940
01:07:11,839 --> 01:07:18,039
chipset to everything else including the RAM the second that the integrated

941
01:07:16,279 --> 01:07:23,039
memory controller came along with the Athlon 64 the second that the memory

942
01:07:20,599 --> 01:07:28,240
controller was taken off the chipset all of a sudden um there was less

943
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:33,480
differentiation in terms of performance because there was nothing the motherboard manufacturers could really

944
01:07:31,079 --> 01:07:38,079
do besides routing the traces really cleanly to the memory banks that would

945
01:07:35,839 --> 01:07:41,839
affect the way that the performance was going to play out because it was no

946
01:07:40,359 --> 01:07:44,559
longer being relayed by anything there was no like tweaking they could do to

947
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:51,599
this chipset there's just this integrated memory controller it's built right into the CPU so there's that um

948
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:54,760
and I mean even then though you know PCI Express AGP these were features that

949
01:07:53,440 --> 01:08:00,720
could differentiate boards you know better implement of the graphics ports

950
01:07:57,799 --> 01:08:06,799
um was something whereas now especially on the Intel platform even PCI Express

951
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:08,640
Lanes are implemented at the CPU level

952
01:08:06,799 --> 01:08:12,279
so what's not implemented at the CPU level now there's a few things so

953
01:08:10,279 --> 01:08:16,120
there's usb3 which is on the South Bridge there's SATA which is on the sth

954
01:08:14,599 --> 01:08:20,480
bridge um so really anything that's built into

955
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:24,319
the CPU there's not much the motherboard manufacturers can do about it besides

956
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:28,040
helping you tweak more overclocking speed out of it

957
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:30,480
everything else now okay so yeah onboard Graphics was another way that

958
01:08:29,359 --> 01:08:36,199
motherboard manufacturers could differentiate now that's built onto the CPU

959
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:38,120
too so really there's not uh there's not

960
01:08:36,199 --> 01:08:43,520
a whole lot left they can build in uh you know things like SAS functionality

961
01:08:40,159 --> 01:08:45,799
like gigabyt sun with the X x79 S5

962
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:49,640
things like Thunderbolt so connectivity more usb3 ports better usb3

963
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:54,560
implementations better sound implementation such as A's done with the

964
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:58,239
Maximus 5 formula uh these are the ways that these motherboard guys can really

965
01:08:56,239 --> 01:09:03,000
differentiate from each other but in terms of performance you sit down you

966
01:09:00,159 --> 01:09:07,000
play a game performance there's not much of a Delta

967
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:11,319
anymore um oh dude do you have do you have to

968
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:14,279
have that Twitter name it's like I I hardly even want to reply to your

969
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:18,600
message but what reason would make you end your YouTube career um good question

970
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:25,080
I guess I haven't really thought about it I have zero intention of stopping uh

971
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:30,839
making videos on YouTube if anything I feel rejuvenated these days because it

972
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:33,880
was uh it was a huge milestone for me to

973
01:09:30,839 --> 01:09:36,400
hit that like just huge I cannot express

974
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:41,600
how awesome it was to hit that 200,000 subscriber Milestone I mean back when I

975
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:44,400
started doing this um I I would look at

976
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:49,520
guys with 50,000 subscribers or 100,000 subscribers and I'd be like wow that is

977
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:54,080
amazing if I can ever get there I will be so grateful and I'll be so happy and

978
01:09:52,440 --> 01:09:56,880
um and I and I'm there now and I mean now I'm I'm looking for the next I'm

979
01:09:55,640 --> 01:10:00,679
looking for the next level I'm looking for 500,000 I'm looking for a million I

980
01:09:59,199 --> 01:10:04,560
mean it's always about taking it to the next level and um it was it was just

981
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:07,760
really exciting to get to one of those Milestones that I'd really set for

982
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:11,239
myself uh one of the first Milestones that got me really excited was the day

983
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:14,800
that this goes back to Logan because I think he was still on the project at the

984
01:10:12,719 --> 01:10:17,960
time but the day that I passed Tiger Direct blog for the number of

985
01:10:16,440 --> 01:10:22,159
subscribers as well they've still got more views by a long shot but uh but

986
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:27,600
it's it's it's it's fun it's friendly competition I mean I have nothing against any of those other YouTube guys

987
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:31,480
it's just it it's kind of fun to to play that game so speaking of that game one

988
01:10:29,480 --> 01:10:36,880
of the things that's also rejuvenated me lately is check this out so since I hit

989
01:10:34,440 --> 01:10:41,800
that 200,000 subscriber Mark not only has it not slowed down so

990
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:45,560
this is social blade I know this isn't the best one vid stats X is sort of

991
01:10:43,719 --> 01:10:50,199
better but this gives me I'm just used to the interface here so check this out

992
01:10:47,440 --> 01:10:53,560
guys so before I hit the 200,000 subscriber Mark so you can see here this

993
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:58,320
is my total number of subscribers in this column I was averaging kind of 300

994
01:10:56,560 --> 01:11:03,000
subscribers a day this is an anomaly I think YouTube was doing a correction

995
01:11:00,480 --> 01:11:07,679
when I hit that Mark all of a sudden whether it's people spreading the word

996
01:11:05,159 --> 01:11:11,040
more whether it's you guys supporting me and uh you know telling your friends to

997
01:11:09,480 --> 01:11:16,440
subscribe to L's Tech tips whether it's people who just see that 200,000 number

998
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:20,120
and it feels more credible to them or uh whatever has happened over the last

999
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:23,560
little while I've been absolutely overwhelmed with the additional support

1000
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:27,880
I'm averaging more like a growth rate of 400 450 per day

1001
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:31,719
which is gives me all the encouragement that I need to keep the project going no

1002
01:11:30,159 --> 01:11:36,880
M no matter what so I want to keep talking Tech with you guys I want to keep producing videos in fact who knows

1003
01:11:35,440 --> 01:11:42,159
maybe sometime in the next few months you might see me even ramp things up to

1004
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:44,199
a completely new level spoiler alert

1005
01:11:42,159 --> 01:11:49,880
stay tuned I can't give any more details than that right now so don't even

1006
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:51,520
ask um what do we got let's go back to

1007
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:54,560
let's go back to Twitter shall we actually you know what no we're not

1008
01:11:53,639 --> 01:12:01,880
going to go back to Twitter yet I'm going to have a look and see if there's any of the other topics that I wanted to

1009
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:04,679
cover so why four-way s is a bad idea ah

1010
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:07,679
this this is something where I actually don't have the answer for you guys but

1011
01:12:06,159 --> 01:12:12,120
this is the most confusing thing in the world to me so we're going to go on a

1012
01:12:09,480 --> 01:12:20,120
little Voyage of Discovery here and I'm going to talk about what exactly is the

1013
01:12:16,679 --> 01:12:21,600
cost structure of displays so I will

1014
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:25,840
back I'll be back I'll be back in like two seconds I just have to go get something

1015
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:46,520
all right so the prices of displays what

1016
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:51,960
sort of prompted me to think about this was the fact that one of my buddies

1017
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:55,239
pointed out to me that he saw a 40in

1018
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:59,440
TV that was in the neighborhood of like

1019
01:12:55,239 --> 01:13:03,400
400 or 450 bucks 1080p TV you know what

1020
01:12:59,440 --> 01:13:07,920
I'm going to see if I can find it um

1021
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:09,840
1080P and then uh TV sorry I'm just I'm

1022
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:16,800
I'm checking on the NC website here it is okay so 40in TV I'm just going to

1023
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:21,360
copy this too okay maybe you guys can help me figure this out because frankly

1024
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:25,159
I don't get it so we're going to switch to this view here we're going to go

1025
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:28,960
ahead and we're going to pull up a 40in TV okay

1026
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:37,440
paste okay here's a 40in TV Toshiba LCD

1027
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:42,639
TV I can tell you right now there's no such thing as a TN panel TV so this is

1028
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:48,880
some kind of a VA or something it's not a TN panel it is

1029
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:53,719
$400 a 40in TV is

1030
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:56,000
$400 okay so why is it that a 40-in TV

1031
01:13:53,719 --> 01:14:00,199
at 1080p resolution okay bear with me here going to go on

1032
01:13:58,239 --> 01:14:09,000
sort of a wild ride here why is it that a 40in TV at a 1080p resolution costs

1033
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:10,080
more than a 1080p oh oh o I'm breaking

1034
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:16,639
everything 1080p LCD VA so let's look for let's

1035
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:19,679
look for a VA panel okay so here's a 27

1036
01:14:16,639 --> 01:14:22,520
inch that's an amva LED backl okay it's

1037
01:14:19,679 --> 01:14:25,679
got LED backlights whatever so why does it cost more I can tell you the answer

1038
01:14:24,440 --> 01:14:28,679
it's much larger

1039
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:35,639
okay got it so larger costs

1040
01:14:33,639 --> 01:14:39,400
more actually where was I going with this something to do with large and

1041
01:14:37,639 --> 01:14:47,199
pixel density and something something something right right right right right okay so a much larger TV costs more okay

1042
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:52,480
so now let's let's scale things back down again and let's look at uh let's

1043
01:14:50,360 --> 01:15:00,320
look at pixel density so when we get to pixel density all of a sudden the

1044
01:14:56,560 --> 01:15:02,040
smaller something is the more it costs

1045
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:07,120
because it's more difficult to manufacture so tell me something if a

1046
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:11,880
bigger device that inherently has lower pixel

1047
01:15:09,639 --> 01:15:15,400
density and a smaller device this monitor I showed you guys before this is

1048
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:21,239
like in the same price range it's on super discount now but generally speaking it's a $400 so if these two

1049
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:26,199
things cost the same thing in cost the same in spite of the same resolution why

1050
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:30,719
is it that this

1051
01:15:27,440 --> 01:15:32,600
device which actually is a 10-in panel

1052
01:15:30,719 --> 01:15:39,440
so in terms of the actual size difference it's like a similar ratio

1053
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:42,600
going from like a 40in TV to a 27 in LCD

1054
01:15:39,440 --> 01:15:44,280
why is it that this doesn't cost the

1055
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:48,840
same even though the pixel density is actually significantly higher this is also a 1080p panel if I recall correctly

1056
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:55,120
this is a Transformer TF700 so here's my question to you what

1057
01:15:53,120 --> 01:16:05,000
is actually affecting how is it that we can produce a 40-in TV which is vastly

1058
01:15:59,719 --> 01:16:09,600
bigger for the same price as this

1059
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:11,280
LCD and we can't produce you know what I

1060
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:14,080
had a whole thing sort of in my mind about this and I've sort just totally

1061
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:18,440
lost my train of thought so I'm going to give up on this topic but the point is

1062
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:23,080
generally what affects it is it size is it pixel density I can't quite figure it

1063
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:27,320
out because it doesn't seem to it doesn't seem like the cost scales

1064
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:31,960
proportionally when we increase the size and then it doesn't seem like the cost

1065
01:16:28,719 --> 01:16:33,800
scales proportionally when we decrease

1066
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:37,440
the pixel density or increase the pixel density or whatever else the case may be

1067
01:16:35,480 --> 01:16:42,360
I mean did you know that iPad Retina Display replacement IPS panels actually

1068
01:16:40,199 --> 01:16:46,159
only cost like a 100 bucks if you buy them from um I don't know it's like

1069
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:50,199
laptop repair or screen repair or something.com I give up on this topic

1070
01:16:48,719 --> 01:16:54,400
I'm sorry it's actually getting kind of late and I'm kind of tired so we're going to move into something else and

1071
01:16:53,120 --> 01:17:01,239
this is something that I really did want to talk about Paul's Hardware and awesome sauce news

1072
01:16:59,239 --> 01:17:04,560
are two new YouTube channels that you guys should totally subscribe to if

1073
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:07,840
you're not already subscribed to raise the world so I'm going to just uh I'm

1074
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:14,880
going to bring up all of these YouTube channels do here and raise the

1075
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:16,560
world okay so this is one of them so

1076
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:20,239
this is Logan's channel from Tech Syndicate so he's actually growing

1077
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:25,880
pretty fast and uh things are going pretty well over there awesome sauce

1078
01:17:23,159 --> 01:17:32,560
news is uh from that horrible horrible store in the

1079
01:17:29,239 --> 01:17:35,000
US so he's uh he's doing he's doing his

1080
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:38,480
own sort of vloggy style videos and then I wish him well but I think he's only

1081
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:43,880
got like a 100 subscribers or something like that see there he is look how sexy

1082
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:45,760
he is okay and then finally we have

1083
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:49,800
actually this one I haven't seen what Paul's up to but Paul's Hardware is

1084
01:17:48,480 --> 01:17:56,719
another channel that you guys probably want to check out if you enjoy what I'm doing then uh you're probably going to

1085
01:17:54,520 --> 01:18:01,520
enjoy what what these guys are doing here so Paul only has one video he's

1086
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:06,760
already produced only half as many videos as Kyle so yeah way to go way to

1087
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:10,920
go Paul I hope you're watching wow look at this 43 dislikes and zero dislikes Ju

1088
01:18:09,639 --> 01:18:15,239
Just for that I'm gonna I'm going to like the video so he now has I don't

1089
01:18:13,199 --> 01:18:18,199
know Bank shirt with your friends I've actually never liked a video on YouTube

1090
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:21,800
to be perfectly honest I'm not much of a YouTube Watcher I'm just more of a

1091
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:28,719
YouTube maker uh what other topics do we have

1092
01:18:25,679 --> 01:18:32,080
ah yes I've had a lot of people ask me

1093
01:18:28,719 --> 01:18:33,840
about my new gear that's coming so if

1094
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:39,719
you're not familiar with my new gear conversation I blew over 10 grand on New

1095
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:45,159
Gear so I have an fs700 camera coming which is going to be awesome we'll be

1096
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:48,199
able to shoot video realistically at 240

1097
01:18:45,159 --> 01:18:51,520
FPS if we need something extremely

1098
01:18:48,199 --> 01:18:54,040
extremely high speed it can do up to 960

1099
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:57,760
FPS and here's like a like just I have all these ideas in my head of stuff we

1100
01:18:55,679 --> 01:19:03,040
can do with this like all of a sudden we'll be able to empirically evaluate

1101
01:19:00,480 --> 01:19:07,560
the performance in terms of input leg on an LCD monitor because all we'll have to

1102
01:19:05,199 --> 01:19:13,120
do is take a microphone put it next to a mouse and go like this hit it so you

1103
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:17,480
take a video of the LCD monitor and I guess you

1104
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:21,639
could you could put the mouse in there as well and then all you have to do is

1105
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:24,320
sync up with the sound it made when you tapped the mouse and you'll have to have

1106
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:28,199
the microphone like right next to it we don't want the delay of the sound causing any ill effects actually you

1107
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:32,000
know what you should probably keep the mouse in the shot so you can really see

1108
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:36,600
that point of contact and we should be able to in

1109
01:19:33,159 --> 01:19:40,400
theory get down to the exact frame at

1110
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:43,239
960 FPS okay 960 FPS the exact frame

1111
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:48,440
where we touched the mouse then we can count how many frames until the monitor

1112
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:53,120
responds and I don't know if this is going to work maybe it's totally stupid

1113
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:57,040
maybe 960 FPS isn't enough but I'm super excited to try it out so I'm think if we

1114
01:19:55,120 --> 01:20:02,199
have like a CRT on one side and an LCD on the other side we can just try it and

1115
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:05,280
see like how much if we take like ASUS's

1116
01:20:02,199 --> 01:20:07,400
144 Herz CCD and put that next to a CRT

1117
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:13,280
how much of a difference is there are the CRT die hards missing out by

1118
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:17,199
avoiding LCD or are they still right is it still the fastest way to game so so

1119
01:20:16,239 --> 01:20:23,360
that's something that's super exciting so my new gear is coming next

1120
01:20:20,679 --> 01:20:27,280
week so I've got H to my capture cards coming which means I won't have to use

1121
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:31,080
this webcam anymore I've got uh new microphone coming I've got a new tripod

1122
01:20:29,159 --> 01:20:34,239
coming new lights all kinds of crazy stuff so I'm not going to look all pale

1123
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:38,800
and ghostly like this unless I do look pale and ghostly like this in which case

1124
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:42,480
um you know sorry dudes um that means I just don't know how to use this gear

1125
01:20:40,239 --> 01:20:46,199
that I you know blew a bunch of money on which would be a very sad thing indeed

1126
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:52,360
very sad thing indeed 247 new interactions okay so we're going

1127
01:20:49,639 --> 01:20:56,440
to try and do uh a little a couple a couple more q&as and then I think oh you

1128
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:59,239
know what but before we do more Q&A let's do the giveaway announcement and

1129
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:03,840
then we'll we'll finish up with a little bit of Q&A so I received and I've got my

1130
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:07,840
notes here you know what I'll just let you guys go through the notes uh go

1131
01:21:05,719 --> 01:21:14,440
through the notes with me so first I want to say the winner and I hope you're

1132
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:16,480
watching I was I my original plan was to

1133
01:21:14,440 --> 01:21:20,960
have it be so that only someone who was watching could win but I realized you

1134
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:25,080
know what that's not really fair I mean anyone who does a draw does a draw and

1135
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:29,560
then you get in touch with the person who won um uh before I okay before I

1136
01:21:28,440 --> 01:21:35,719
announce the winner I want to talk a little bit about the format of the contest the format of the contest was

1137
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:37,560
wrong um my original idea was that the

1138
01:21:35,719 --> 01:21:42,679
first one to complete the task should win however I made some mistakes in the

1139
01:21:40,639 --> 01:21:50,719
task that made it so I couldn't really do it that way so I required people to

1140
01:21:47,440 --> 01:21:51,800
format and punctuate the secret phrase

1141
01:21:50,719 --> 01:21:55,960
which they had to jump around to different videos and check out and and

1142
01:21:53,760 --> 01:22:00,800
discover and then unjumble so the secret phrase I had them format I wanted them

1143
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:07,080
to format it it exactly the way I did unfortunately I formatted it incorrectly

1144
01:22:04,199 --> 01:22:13,199
so the secret phrase was I finished the quest where's my swag and I had a period

1145
01:22:10,639 --> 01:22:17,320
on the word Quest and I was missing a question mark on the word swag what I

1146
01:22:15,719 --> 01:22:23,920
also didn't realize when I was creating the challenge was that I finished my

1147
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:26,920
quest where's the swag would also be a

1148
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:29,159
correct way way to solve the puzzle so

1149
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:32,880
instead of taking the first person who replied exactly the way that I had it

1150
01:22:31,199 --> 01:22:37,960
written which took I mean there were over a hundred

1151
01:22:35,440 --> 01:22:42,480
correct sort of correct like not what I had in mind but correct responses where

1152
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:47,159
they added a question mark or they they switched around theth and the my uh

1153
01:22:45,440 --> 01:22:51,199
before the one who formatted it the way that I had wanted in my head for it to

1154
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:55,400
be formatted and I didn't think it was fair to do it that way so what I did is

1155
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:58,760
I took all the people that did answer it correctly I dropped them all in Excel

1156
01:22:56,760 --> 01:23:02,239
and then generated a random number and the winner is can I get a drum roll can

1157
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:07,440
everybody drum roll please Bernard Yip so that's your email

1158
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:10,239
address I'll email you if you're okay okay we have to go okay we have to go to

1159
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:15,960

1160
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:18,800

1161
01:23:17,239 --> 01:23:21,960
screen let me know if you're watching I hope you're watching and I hope you're

1162
01:23:20,480 --> 01:23:27,840
excited because you are going to be the proud owner of VOR GTX 660

1163
01:23:25,679 --> 01:23:31,000
TI and the shipping's free don't worry about it I'll cover the shipping even

1164
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:36,440
though it's expensive do you guys have any idea how much it cost me to ship the

1165
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:40,080
Duke Nukem uh the Duke Nukem NVIDIA

1166
01:23:36,440 --> 01:23:42,480
prize which was a GTX 580 I think 480

1167
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:47,639
something like that 580 uh 3D Vision Monitor and a copy of Duke

1168
01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:55,600
Nukem $500 it cost to ship that to the winner

1169
01:23:52,239 --> 01:23:56,600
$500 unfreaking believable um so anyway

1170
01:23:55,600 --> 01:24:00,719
okay I'm going to have a look at my email over here and uh in the meantime

1171
01:23:58,679 --> 01:24:05,880
so yeah okay these were all my notes for everything I wanted to talk about so I

1172
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:08,639
accepted any of those answers so with or

1173
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:12,159
without punctuation um and with theth and the my switched around I did end up

1174
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:16,960
requiring the period because there were already so many people that did have the

1175
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:19,360
period in there that um that yeah it it

1176
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:22,639
ended up having to work that way now the way that I'm going to do it next time in

1177
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:26,920
order to make it more fair especially for people in other time zones I feel

1178
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:30,719
for you guys is I am going to leave it for a couple days maybe two or three

1179
01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:33,960
days I might have a longer treasure hunt so that it's more difficult but then

1180
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:38,719
what I'll do is I'll give you guys a couple days and then I'll have everyone

1181
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:42,000
submit and then I will do a random draw and I'll make that very clear from the

1182
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:48,040
beginning I'm sorry that this wasn't better organized and uh yeah so so you

1183
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:52,679
know hey congratulations to the winner and I don't see an email from him yet

1184
01:24:50,199 --> 01:24:58,480
but um you know hopefully he'll get in touch soon and thank you guys

1185
01:24:55,000 --> 01:25:01,320
so much for participating it's just been

1186
01:24:58,480 --> 01:25:05,440
awesome and uh I think that wraps it up for the giveaway we've got six minutes

1187
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:09,639
left so let's do some more Q&A and that is the most terrifying thing that I

1188
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:14,679
think I've seen today that that is that is horrible dude he says I think I've

1189
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:19,560
made the best T-shirt ever and by best T-shirt I think he means the t-shirt

1190
01:25:16,679 --> 01:25:25,719
that will like get him kicked out of places that's awful

1191
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:30,320
um that's just I'm I'm going to go ahead and favorite that that's

1192
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:33,360
terrific all right Daniel talk about non-reference graphics cards and fully

1193
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:37,400
custom liquid cooling what happened to personal x79 build uh Daniel I had an

1194
01:25:35,199 --> 01:25:41,960
update on the x79 build not a week ago so I'm still working on it I'm hoping to

1195
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:45,040
get it done in this calendar year um talking about non-reference graphics

1196
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:49,719
cards and fully custom liquid cooling unless you have a manufacturer in mind

1197
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:53,400
that has already made a water block for your non-reference card if you want to

1198
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:57,400
water cool your card get a reference card because it's very different

1199
01:25:55,960 --> 01:26:04,920
difficult these days to water cool a video card without a full cover block

1200
01:25:59,719 --> 01:26:06,880
and full cover blocks do not work on non

1201
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:10,920
compatible cards so it just doesn't work that way

1202
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:18,960
estaban what would you recommend Gigabyte x79 S5 Wi-Fi or whatever or

1203
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:22,119
whatever okay or ASRock x79 extreme 9

1204
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:23,880
x79 S5 that I mean asking me that is

1205
01:26:22,119 --> 01:26:28,199
kind of like asking me what would you recommend the motherboard that you're

1206
01:26:25,719 --> 01:26:32,560
using that you're using which is that's the motherboard I'm using or some other

1207
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:38,280
motherboard um ASRock is not one of my preferred motherboard

1208
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:39,520
manufacturers so I I prefer isus MSI and

1209
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:44,960
Gigabyte so I would definitely go with the Gigabyte option there Marcus if you

1210
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:48,000
were to build an LG 1155 PC today what motherboard and CPU would you choose you

1211
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:52,000
know what great question but there's a lot of different answers and I'm going

1212
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:56,920
to tie this into what one of the other guys here asked I saw something about uh

1213
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:59,000
talking about ITX gaming um if I was

1214
01:26:56,920 --> 01:27:03,119
going to build an lg1155 PC I would want to take advantage of the fact that it

1215
01:27:01,119 --> 01:27:09,320
can fit in a very small form factor so I'd probably go with something like an

1216
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:12,800
ASUS p8 z77 I uh Deluxe okay so that's a

1217
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:14,400
z77 ITX board um then I'd go with

1218
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:17,480
something like an external sound card like U oh you know what I don't have it

1219
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:20,840
next to me anymore so you can't use the onboard sound on that it's terrible but

1220
01:27:19,440 --> 01:27:25,520
well it's not terrible but it's not it's onboard sound so I'd used some kind of

1221
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:28,719
external USB DAC and as a headphone amp and all that kind of stuff so I'd do

1222
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:33,239
that and then I'd probably go with a 3570k because I'm assuming this is for

1223
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:37,679
like a portable gaming machine and then I'd throw probably something like a 660

1224
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:40,800
Ti in there so hey Bernard there's my recommendation for what you should do

1225
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:45,600
with this card and then in terms of case I'd probably go with um either that

1226
01:27:43,679 --> 01:27:51,080
Cooler Master one that I just unboxed the elite 120 I think it's called or I'd

1227
01:27:48,239 --> 01:27:55,280
go with a Silverstone F3 which is sweet sweet case the mini one the mini one F3

1228
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:58,679
Mini Joel what do you like so much about the

1229
01:27:56,920 --> 01:28:05,119
tj07 it looks like it's showing its age to me um something that is timeless and

1230
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:08,600
classic doesn't age a tj07 ages like

1231
01:28:05,119 --> 01:28:11,840
like a fine wine or like a a perfectly

1232
01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:14,239
cut steak um it is showing its age in

1233
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:18,000
terms of features which I can fix I can cut Cable Management holes I can throw

1234
01:28:16,440 --> 01:28:25,719
in mounting for whatever it is I need to put in it but you cannot fix beautiful

1235
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:28,520
design and I love the unibody shape um I

1236
01:28:25,719 --> 01:28:33,800
love the size the efficiency of the size I mean a Cosmos 2 actually can't fit any

1237
01:28:31,440 --> 01:28:37,520
more water cooling crap than a tj07 I mean maybe a little bit more but when

1238
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:41,320
you look at the difference in size it's the efficiency of the layout of the

1239
01:28:39,480 --> 01:28:46,639
internals that makes the TGF 7 so appealing you can fit all this water

1240
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:51,239
cooling crap in there and it's still not

1241
01:28:46,639 --> 01:28:53,639
that big like it's big but it's not that

1242
01:28:51,239 --> 01:28:56,800
big um Ryan is there a sound card you can recommend for a balance between

1243
01:28:54,920 --> 01:29:01,239
gaming and music enj honestly anything from the ASUS line the Zonar line is

1244
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:04,119
going to be awesome um if you're using headphones get one with a headphone amp

1245
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:08,800
if you're using speakers get one that doesn't have a headphone amp because it doesn't matter um and then as for a

1246
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:14,719
balance between gaming and music enjoyment good sound is good sound I've

1247
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:19,000
always taken that philosophy about it maybe to the most extreme of audio files

1248
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:23,400
there will be some difference between a gaming optimized sound card and a music

1249
01:29:21,119 --> 01:29:29,000
optimized sound card but the reality of it is if it

1250
01:29:25,159 --> 01:29:31,440
produces clear sound you know deep bass

1251
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:34,679
Rich mids clear highs if it does all of those things it'll be great for games

1252
01:29:33,159 --> 01:29:38,560
it'll be great for movies and it will be great

1253
01:29:36,159 --> 01:29:42,800
for music did I say movies or music whatever all

1254
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:48,480
three all right one more minute left so I am going to take the next tweet the

1255
01:29:46,639 --> 01:29:55,560
Tweet that's at the top this is sort of going to be my thing where I take like

1256
01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:57,840
the top tweet I'm going to click it now

1257
01:29:55,560 --> 01:30:05,280
Michael great question Michael this is a fantastic question why do TVs have 240

1258
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:14,280
HZ plus and not monitors fantastic question Michael TVs are doing this okay

1259
01:30:10,440 --> 01:30:15,239
this is your leg this is them pulling it

1260
01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:22,320
your 960 Hertz or 480 htz clear motion or

1261
01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:31,560
whatever it is they're doing on the TV is not a 960 HZ panel it doesn't work

1262
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:33,360
that way you are not actually seeing 960

1263
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:41,840
or let's use let's use your example so your example is 240 you are not seeing

1264
01:30:37,239 --> 01:30:44,199
240 image refreshes every second HTMI is

1265
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:49,159
not even remotely capable of carrying that kind of bandwidth even the new

1266
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:53,320
revised HTMI is not capable of carrying

1267
01:30:49,159 --> 01:30:54,880
more than 1080p 120 frames per second um

1268
01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:58,840
that's the one with the faster processors on either end and whatever

1269
01:30:56,800 --> 01:31:04,480
1.4a or something like that who cares HDMI sucks but

1270
01:31:01,320 --> 01:31:07,000
um what they're doing is they are not

1271
01:31:04,480 --> 01:31:10,159
just refreshing the image so let's say here's your motion okay so something's

1272
01:31:08,639 --> 01:31:14,960
moving across the screen like this these are your frames okay so instead of just

1273
01:31:13,119 --> 01:31:20,480
doing this so let's say let's say we got four frames one two three four to show

1274
01:31:17,159 --> 01:31:23,280
you the motion in between each of those

1275
01:31:20,480 --> 01:31:29,199
frames they are flickering the backlight and that plays a trick on your eye that

1276
01:31:25,719 --> 01:31:31,880
makes so if they go two flicks and one

1277
01:31:29,199 --> 01:31:36,679
frame two flicks and one frame two flicks one frame it plays a trick with

1278
01:31:34,159 --> 01:31:42,880
your eye that makes the motion look smoother but also has sort of a strange

1279
01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:49,239
effect that makes it look unnaturally smooth to some people so when you see

1280
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:56,000
someone saying this is a 240 HZ TV or 480 HZ TV they are referring to the

1281
01:31:52,480 --> 01:31:59,639
modulation of the back light not to the

1282
01:31:56,000 --> 01:32:01,280
refresh rate of the actual LCD panel so

1283
01:31:59,639 --> 01:32:06,159
that's a really important clarification that's why there were so many 120 HZ TVs

1284
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:10,520
out there that people were talking about or they wanted to buy or they were even

1285
01:32:07,639 --> 01:32:13,920
mistakenly buying with the intention of running 3D Vision or something with

1286
01:32:12,480 --> 01:32:21,800
their graphics card getting an in a middleware driver and they're trying to do this only to realize that their 120

1287
01:32:18,639 --> 01:32:24,639
HZ TV was only a 60 HZ panel it wasn't

1288
01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:30,920
even capable of displaying a left and a right image at 60 HZ for each eye with

1289
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:32,639
3D glasses so fantastic question and uh

1290
01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:36,960
thank you very much for asking it thank you guys so much for participating those

1291
01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:40,199
of you who are here live and uh don't forget to Subs well okay anyone who's

1292
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:44,639
here is probably already subscribed Line Tech tips uh I I think if you're not

1293
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:47,960
already following on Twitter make sure you follow I know that I'm not able to

1294
01:32:46,440 --> 01:32:53,280
address like look there's a hundred more interactions now guys sorry there's nothing I can do but um I know I'm not

1295
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:57,880
able to address all the questions but I do do my best I do try and there's a

1296
01:32:56,040 --> 01:33:02,199
chance that you'll get through and S you know think of it kind of like calling into a radio show you know there's a

1297
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:05,920
chance you'll get through and what I really need is like four operators like

1298
01:33:04,320 --> 01:33:12,600
kind of out there like filtering these and sending me all the best questions but I'm just one guy right now so um

1299
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:16,440
yeah thanks so much here's two uh you know I wish I had a glass but I'll

1300
01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:21,520
settle for uh I'll settle I'll settle for this here's to 200,000 subscribers
