WEBVTT

00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:05.879
holy crap we're live welcome everybody

00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:09.719
to I think this is like my fifth or sixth live stream something like that um

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

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:18.840
there's lots and lots of people joining us in the chat

00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:22.760
already um actually not that many but we're starting so you know hopefully

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

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

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

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:40.960
the thing it's like the at symbol or something at symbol Linus Tech follow me

00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:45.360
on Twitter because that is the way to interact with the show however um there

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.480
are some challenges with Twitter Twitter is not actually the best platform ever

00:00:47.879 --> 00:00:53.280
and you know what actually I've come up with another topic for tonight's live

00:00:51.239 --> 00:00:57.760
stream and that is the fact that I absolutely hate hoot it's the stupidest

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

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:06.560
really hope someone from Twitter or hoot or someone who knows someone who knows

00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:09.880
someone at hoot is watching this because

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:13.040
uh yeah it's not very

00:01:09.880 --> 00:01:16.200
good whoa and I've got an audio Echo

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:19.119
going here hold on a second I'm g go

00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:24.240
ahead and turn that that there down and of course because my cat chewed

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

00:01:26.759 --> 00:01:37.479
volume control I actually have a really hard time adjusting in it yeah it won't

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:40.000
uh won't turn off come on there we go

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

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

00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:53.640
so huge well first of all I guess thanks

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

00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:01.039
outstanding given that I haven't you know what let's give the guys who are

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

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:11.160
super impressed with and yes the giveaway announcement will be today and I'm sorry

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

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.440
660 Ti which is also a perfectly good

00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:24.440
graphics card and by perfectly good I mean awesome so uh so yeah we're going

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:31.040
to do that later and uh where was I going with that

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

00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:38.879
haven't even had a chance to tune in because uh the first recording I did

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

00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:47.239
and then they can see the live stream but unfortunately the first one I

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:52.200
recorded didn't have any sound so I uploaded it and fortunately I realized

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:58.400
that it had no sound before anyone actually anyone actually looked at it um

00:02:56.440 --> 00:03:02.159
and I I mean I know I have technical problems with my videos some sometimes

00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:07.280
but um yeah I'm trying to avoid them trying

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

00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:14.360
that video's up let's go ahead and check

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

00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:26.599
there are nine comments and five views and poor poor this guy I mean what what

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.280
what is this name here I I I have like I

00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:33.640
have no idea I have no idea what this name is here check this out

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

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

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

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:54.200
way so I guess let's get started topic number one today is

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:58.040
NVIDIA's green light um I'd love to see

00:03:54.200 --> 00:04:00.799
on on Twitter or on the chat on Twitch

00:03:58.040 --> 00:04:07.879
who here is familiar with what green light refers to okay Oscar says

00:04:04.040 --> 00:04:12.159
Venezuela says hi that's cool Oscar hi

00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:13.760
to Venezuela as well okay Jason says hey

00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:20.680
lonus you're live is the speed of your RAM important to overclocking no

00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:22.280
generally speaking not really it's um

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

00:04:25.400 --> 00:04:34.160
back in the day when AMD had unlocked multipliers and then RAM mattered a lot

00:04:30.520 --> 00:04:36.320
in the uh in the socket 478 days RAM was

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.360
everything getting high performance high frequency RAM was the only way you were

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

00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:49.520
unlocked processors so you actually don't even need to adjust your RAM speed

00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:53.479
in order to get whatever overclocking you want um Adrian wants to know how I

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

00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:02.440
we've exchanged tweets and emails and YouTube private messages over the last a

00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:06.600
while here um that that's about it we only really know each other through like

00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:12.240
like the YouTube the YouTube Brotherhood so I I'm late tonight Brian I am not

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

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

00:05:19.479 --> 00:05:24.840
matter what I do I'm on time so no one

00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:29.759
I'm not familiar with Greenlight oh this is great green light is extremely

00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:34.720
interesting so it started with the firm architecture cards and what green light

00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:39.400
basically is is okay let's say Galaxy for example Galaxy um colorful palette

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

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

00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.960
light means is they create a design for

00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:56.160
a card so if you guys aren't familiar with how an adom board partner Works

00:05:53.800 --> 00:06:02.360
basically NVIDIA designs a chipset so that's a that's a

00:05:57.880 --> 00:06:04.520
GK 104 4 for example gk104 is the chip

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

00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:13.280
them so they have a chipset then they do a reference design

00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:17.280
where they take that chipset and they completely design a product around it so

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

00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:26.520
speed frequency timings they'll design like a power delivery system and they'll

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

00:06:28.479 --> 00:06:35.000
actually designed in every possible way by NVIDIA although NVIDIA manufactures

00:06:32.840 --> 00:06:39.960
nothing NVIDIA's chips themselves are manufactured by a third party such as

00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:41.919
tsmc and their cards themselves are

00:06:39.960 --> 00:06:46.520
actually usually man well not usually they're always manufactured by someone

00:06:43.479 --> 00:06:48.560
else as well so when NVIDIA does like a

00:06:46.520 --> 00:06:54.000
new launch for example if they launch a a reference GTX 680 that means one of

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:59.199
their addin board Partners was probably contracted to produce all the reference

00:06:56.919 --> 00:07:02.720
680s which then the other partners have to put their sticker on and you know

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

00:07:05.400 --> 00:07:11.319
but that's okay reference design okay

00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:15.599
now the addin board partners are more than welcome to design their own many

00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:20.919
aspects of the GPU so you've seen you know EVGA with their billion different

00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:25.319
versions of every GPU where they've got a super clock and a super super clock

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

00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:34.840
classified they've got so many cards cards so some of those have different

00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:38.120
cooling solutions some of them have different clock speeds some of them have

00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:43.240
different Power delivery which will enable better overclocking some of them

00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:47.360
will have different amounts of RAM so they might be 2 gigs three gigs four

00:07:45.080 --> 00:07:50.039
gigs six gigs doesn't matter um these are all the different things that the

00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:56.000
add-in board Partners can do they can add different display outputs so great

00:07:52.039 --> 00:07:58.039
example was evga's 570 HD where they

00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:02.599
actually added and this isn't a 570 but they added a DisplayPort out which none

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:08.080
of the other 570s really had they were mostly dual DVI with a mini HDMI another

00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:13.000
example would be Galaxy's 570 MDT which actually had triple display outputs on a

00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:18.319
570 before NVIDIA officially introduced that feature with the 600 series okay so

00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:21.919
we got reference designs then we have addin board partner designs and that's

00:08:20.440 --> 00:08:27.680
anything that was designed by someone other than NVIDIA and doesn't look like

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:31.240
that standard NVIDIA card

00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:33.599
okay so green light means that Nidia it

00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:40.560
has to approve or give the green light the goahead to any design that a

00:08:36.959 --> 00:08:41.839
manufacturer submits before it gets

00:08:40.560 --> 00:08:46.320
released to Market so what does this mean there's a

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

00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:57.800
bring the green light program to light to light to Green Light uh to light

00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:59.200
recently so number one is MSI's power

00:08:57.800 --> 00:09:05.560
edition cards they're power edition cards cards they're Hawk edition cards

00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:07.000
Nidia has a certain spec so you know

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

00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:16.800
appli to the GPU how much voltage they want to apply to different parts of the

00:09:15.079 --> 00:09:20.279
kit that is used to make up this graphics card where the add in board

00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:26.519
partner can design all the other stuff and what MSI was doing was they were

00:09:23.040 --> 00:09:29.640
allowing the gpus to be overvolted and

00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:32.480
overclocked in a way that inidia did did

00:09:29.640 --> 00:09:35.360
not authorize now Tom's Hardware did a fantastic article actually it was the

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

00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:45.959
easier to read for people who don't read German like me and uh what they

00:09:44.160 --> 00:09:50.120
basically discovered was that MSI was dramatically overvolting one of the

00:09:47.839 --> 00:09:55.000
components on this board in order to achieve the results they were getting I

00:09:51.959 --> 00:09:57.640
mean a 660 Ti power Edition when maximum

00:09:55.000 --> 00:10:03.240
overclocked could actually run right there with a gtx6 70 reference card when

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:07.399
they were both at their maximum overclocks which basically means you'd

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

00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:16.760
660 Ti power Edition was just as fast

00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:21.640
once you overclocked it so so they discovered that's that's what

00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:29.800
they were doing um it was also then discovered that MSI is revising the

00:10:23.959 --> 00:10:33.440
cards um in order to adhere to NVIDIA's

00:10:29.800 --> 00:10:35.680
guidelines with respect to GPU voltages

00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:39.320
and um and the overall design of the card to get it sort of greenlighted

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:44.240
again now green light doesn't mean that MSI cannot release the product you can

00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:47.959
see they released the 660ti power Edition even though it was not running

00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:53.320
according to spec so what NVIDIA has basically come

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

00:10:56.800 --> 00:11:02.079
redlighting a product they're not saying okay you can't release this product to

00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:07.480
the market but what they are saying to the add-in board Partners is if you

00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:09.959
release this product we are not going to

00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:17.639
warrantee the components that you bought from us so basically they're voiding the

00:11:14.959 --> 00:11:23.480
addin board Partners warranty for overclocking outside of the certain

00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:26.480
threshold that NVIDIA wants overclocked

00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:30.480
another example is EVGA 680

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.399
classified that um is no longer sold

00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:37.600
with the evbot utility that allowed it to be

00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:41.920
overvolted okay so a couple different ways to to interpret this number one is

00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:45.440
you could kind of go Rubble Rubble Rubble NVIDIA is limiting the board

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

00:11:47.920 --> 00:11:55.040
deliver to Gamers um so that's that's one perspective the other perspective is

00:11:52.920 --> 00:11:59.680
uh this is from NVIDIA's Camp is that the green light program is designed to

00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:06.120
improve the reliability and the consistency of the experience for

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:08.959
GeForce gpus for gamers so NVIDIA has an

00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:14.639
internal philosophy that and I agree with them 100% on this that if your

00:12:10.920 --> 00:12:18.560
video card dies after a year or two

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:20.040
that's not a good thing and that that's

00:12:18.560 --> 00:12:24.839
going to create a bad customer experience a bad experience around the

00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:28.800
GeForce experience and NVIDIA is deeply concerned with what kind of an

00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:34.360
experience the customer has whether they buy a gal Galaxy card an EVGA card ASUS

00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:38.760
whoever it doesn't matter from their perspective they want to make sure no

00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:41.440
matter who the customer chooses they get

00:12:38.760 --> 00:12:44.320
a great experience so they're evaluating things in this green light program

00:12:42.680 --> 00:12:49.920
they're evaluating Acoustics they're evaluating the temperatures they're

00:12:46.800 --> 00:12:51.160
evaluating the um the size of the gpus

00:12:49.920 --> 00:12:54.240
making sure that the customer is going to have a great experience so from their

00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:59.760
perspective they're kind of sitting here going okay we did all the work on this

00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:04.839
we understand how this chip worked down to its very like

00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:10.240
microscopic level we've done all the testing and determined what is a safe

00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:13.720
voltage in terms of the heat that it's going to Output you know whether the

00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:18.120
cooling design can handle it or whatever else what is a safe voltage in terms of

00:13:15.560 --> 00:13:24.000
the longevity of the chip they have B the chips at their level so remember

00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:26.120
guys a gk104 GPU is exactly the same GPU

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

00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:36.959
difference the difference is that they actually take these gpus and they sort

00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:42.800
them into which ones are validated for 680 670 660 Ti operational speeds as

00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:47.680
well as the number of functional units that are enabled

00:13:44.959 --> 00:13:50.759
okay so NVIDIA is basically going okay look well we already B these for you we

00:13:49.199 --> 00:13:54.720
told you what voltage is safe to run them at from a reliability and a heat

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

00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:02.240
the onus is going to be on you to support these things once they're out

00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:05.839
there in the market because this is not what we designed them to be used

00:14:04.199 --> 00:14:11.320
for so who's right actually that's outside

00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:15.160
the scope of this conversation but I would love to get your comments on

00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:20.279
Twitter and have a look at what you guys think about the greenl program and

00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:28.320
whether okay you guys are just like you guys are just not talking about this at

00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:30.360
all okay please please at Linus tweet

00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:33.279
that direction tweet and let me know what do you think of the green light

00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:36.399
program whose side are you on are you with the add-in board Partners who are

00:14:35.079 --> 00:14:39.560
basically going okay well we should be able to take this thing that we bought

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

00:14:41.680 --> 00:14:47.440
warranty it because you know we're your

00:14:44.800 --> 00:14:51.440
partners or do you take the other perspective and go well NVIDIA kind of

00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:54.199
has the right to set a warranty term I mean they're not telling the partners

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

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

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

00:15:03.839 --> 00:15:10.600
TV actually consumer TVs are a great example TBA I believe is the only brand

00:15:08.920 --> 00:15:16.279
that will actually warranty a consumer TV the instant you put it into a

00:15:13.959 --> 00:15:21.000
commercial environment so if you use a Sony TV Samsung TV in your business in

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:23.839
your restaurant you have TV displayed you you want it up on the wall the

00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:28.720
second you put that in there your warranty is void because it is not valid

00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:31.839
for commercial use so it's not like this is uncommon thing okay we finally have

00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:37.000
some interactions let's have a look at what people say all

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

00:15:39.880 --> 00:15:45.920
Nicholas NVIDIA side um Raz we're not

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:49.759
talking about that right now Jordan NVIDIA is taking a stand I like it they

00:15:48.079 --> 00:15:53.759
aren't limiting us we still have both options now Jordan something I would

00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:58.319
bring up about your point here is that we actually don't have both options

00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:05.600
every partner that I'm aware of that had a skew that was not warrantable under

00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:08.279
green light has pulled that skew back so

00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:12.360
effectively by pulling the warranty out of them they have removed those options

00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:16.160
from the market whether they're correct about it or not is sort of the debate

00:16:14.040 --> 00:16:19.560
we're having here but we don't really have a choice anymore so there something

00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:24.920
to bear in mind uh NVIDIA is correct NVIDIA NVIDIA

00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:28.079
NVIDIA are in the right here uh Ryan says what's going to happen to the

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:32.480
existing 660 Ti well for the power Edition from MSI which is the example I

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

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

00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:44.920
redesigned will be under the same name they'll be the same skew and they'll

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

00:16:49.680 --> 00:16:55.319
be that okay fax says NVIDIA has the right to control their warranty Alex I'm

00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:59.440
with NVIDIA they shouldn't have to warranty something it's not designed for

00:16:57.319 --> 00:17:06.000
so it looks like by and large you guys are both are all very much on

00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:10.079
the green light NVIDIA side which is very interesting because a lot of the

00:17:08.120 --> 00:17:14.319
time consumers and I'm not going to generalize you guys here anything like

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

00:17:17.439 --> 00:17:25.919
the multi-billion dollar uh international company in this case I can

00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:27.640
see it from both perspectives because

00:17:25.919 --> 00:17:31.480
what NVIDIA's effectively done is they've taken something the GPU Partners

00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:35.280
have always taken for granted they've always been able to do this before and

00:17:33.679 --> 00:17:38.320
it's always been one of the ways that they can compete against each other

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:41.520
because it's not like NVIDIA supports every partner equally I mean they try

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.200
they do their best but it's like you know if you have like 10 children

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

00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:55.440
the ways that the that the GPU Partners could use to differentiate from each

00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:57.440
other um has has been taken away so I

00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:02.679
can see why particularly some of the partners that relied on this this would

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

00:18:06.280 --> 00:18:13.480
you know what it there's nothing wrong with giving them an ice cream every

00:18:09.919 --> 00:18:17.080
Saturday if they're being good um are

00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:19.440
the kids are the kids wrong when they

00:18:17.080 --> 00:18:21.840
say well we're still being good and the expectation was always that if we were

00:18:20.840 --> 00:18:27.159
really good we were going to get ice cream on Saturday and now you're saying

00:18:23.840 --> 00:18:28.480
no ice cream anymore um I don't know I

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

00:18:31.360 --> 00:18:38.000
side NVIDIA's in the right Matthew says say my name that's creepy dude creepy

00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:44.280
creepy creepy oh wait you didn't mean it like

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

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

00:18:50.320 --> 00:18:55.240
down to uh whoa we have a lot of a lot

00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:59.840
of tweets here Matthew something something I don't know whatever let's

00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:01.679
just look at them uh

00:18:59.840 --> 00:19:04.880
what possibility change motherboard is it going to be dis NVIDIA is correct

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

00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:11.200
side it's the partners that want to crank up the cards Scotty Scotty you're

00:19:10.080 --> 00:19:14.919
the first one toci side with the partners here I'm with the partners

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

00:19:17.159 --> 00:19:24.679
the card's performance so here's an interesting take on it this was um I

00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:28.280
forget who brought this up but evga's

00:19:24.679 --> 00:19:29.320
680 was originally permitted to operate

00:19:28.280 --> 00:19:34.600
this way and then now they're not able to ship it

00:19:31.280 --> 00:19:37.240
with evbot anymore so effectively NVIDIA

00:19:34.600 --> 00:19:42.240
has created this environment where SKS that don't really exist anymore okay so

00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:47.799
the power Edition as we know it for 660ti doesn't exist the 680 classified

00:19:45.600 --> 00:19:52.679
with all the overvolting doesn't exist but SKS that no longer exist have been

00:19:50.120 --> 00:19:56.400
used to set overclocking records and set an unrealistic expectation with

00:19:54.240 --> 00:20:01.840
customers did they do this intentionally did they not I actually don't know

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

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

00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:18.000
to uh to look at this is that if NVIDIA is effectively improving the reliability

00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:19.760
in the GeForce experience then how can

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:23.640
we see it as a bad thing hard to say I mean what if uh what

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

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

00:20:29.760 --> 00:20:35.520
overvolting options and you will you'll

00:20:33.159 --> 00:20:39.280
forfeit your warranty would you guys do something like

00:20:37.120 --> 00:20:43.000
that I mean that might be the solution to all of this MSI continues producing

00:20:41.320 --> 00:20:47.400
the power Edition exactly the same way that they always have and then they just

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

00:20:49.120 --> 00:20:55.840
BIOS that limits all this stuff so we can maintain our warranty and then we'll

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

00:20:57.520 --> 00:21:03.280
honest I mean there all hypothetical but we'll give customers the option to

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:08.120
Forfeit the warranty that way it's not on MSI's head what the customer decides

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

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

00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:21.120
actually I mean overclocking used to avoid everyone's warranty back in the

00:21:19.120 --> 00:21:26.320
day so okay does AMD have a similar process

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

00:21:27.760 --> 00:21:33.480
point I mean you look at something like the devil 13 7990 from powercolor I mean

00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:39.880
that's a very elaborate design that went into that card and uh they

00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:44.760
also yeah they they released it power color managed to release it so I'm with

00:21:42.840 --> 00:21:49.159
NVIDIA not warranting misuse I'll take him side I'm going to look for anyone

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

00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:59.000
one person side with the partners through all of

00:21:55.880 --> 00:22:00.840
this NVIDIA oh here we go here we go

00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:05.360
male saysi think I am more on the partner side because if they buy the

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

00:22:07.760 --> 00:22:16.480
unfortunately I don't really understand that tweet but thank you male for um

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

00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:24.559
ton more tweets about this but as you guys can clearly see it's pretty much

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

00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:32.520
share this whole situation with you get your guys' thoughts on it give you my

00:22:30.679 --> 00:22:38.679
thoughts on it let's move on to the next thing Ultra books

00:22:35.520 --> 00:22:41.279
so my understanding of an Ultra Book was

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

00:22:44.080 --> 00:22:53.880
Ultrabook MacBook Air is not an Ultrabook okay so we're clear um because

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:58.799
Ultrabook requ the word Ultrabook

00:22:53.880 --> 00:23:00.640
requires an Intel license to use it it's

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

00:23:02.679 --> 00:23:10.960
refers it means stock keeping unit it's like one sort of set specification of a

00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:13.240
particular in this case notebook okay so

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

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

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

00:23:24.320 --> 00:23:30.200
label on it you send it to Intel and

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

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

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

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

00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:50.159
not participate in that program so MacBook Air in spite of its similarity

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

00:23:53.360 --> 00:24:02.240
to see some tweets here guys about what you think are the characteristics of an

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

00:24:04.080 --> 00:24:10.919
feed here 36 new interactions of

00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:14.840
course of course there are 36 new interactions you guys are you guys are

00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:20.200
crazy you guys are awesome honestly in the last week I've gained about 4,000

00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:24.640
followers on Twitter which is which is outstanding and I'm sure not all of you

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

00:24:27.120 --> 00:24:32.840
so you could participate in the live streams and send me messages and all

00:24:31.080 --> 00:24:37.080
that kind of good stuff that's what most of you were up

00:24:34.080 --> 00:24:41.039
to all right let's see anyone

00:24:37.080 --> 00:24:43.200
got Ultra books suck yeah okay Ultra

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

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:50.159
people think of this whole Ultrabook thing Zack says Ultrabooks are cool but

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

00:24:53.919 --> 00:25:01.320
direction things are heading man whether we like it or not Apple has set this

00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:03.399
trend with MacBook Pro MacBook and

00:25:01.320 --> 00:25:06.200
MacBook Air that that's the Direction notebooks are going I me look at

00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:12.720
something like the razor blade if that's not like an apple aluminum unibody sort

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:17.000
of inspired design then I don't know what is you look at ASUS Zenbook if

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

00:25:19.080 --> 00:25:25.760
moving right along so Joseph thin you're right thin is part of

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

00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:37.679
necessarily but I'll get into that in more detail later Joel says good quality

00:25:35.520 --> 00:25:41.600
good quality can be Quantified in a lot of different ways um so again don't

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

00:25:45.159 --> 00:25:52.120
light says Derek uh Ultrabooks are Intel laptops that are thin and light and good

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

00:25:53.600 --> 00:26:00.600
the Twitter feed I I still need to know if that's actually you though because

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

00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:09.880
head um okay battery life and thinness Intel I series CPU SSD integrated

00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:14.399
Graphics Ultra books suck not enough power okay Dom we're sorry uh 60 new

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

00:26:16.399 --> 00:26:22.159
participate in the whole like Twitter thing I need you guys to like be on the

00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:25.880
ball on your tweets because I can only read so many of them slim and Powerful

00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:29.399
battery life size and weight okay I'm I'm looking for a few different things

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

00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:38.919
actually understood myself but the uh we had one of Intel's field guys in today

00:26:36.320 --> 00:26:45.000
and he explained all the different aspects of things that um Austin Austin

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

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

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

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

00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:09.279
form factor form factor is huge so depending on the screen size the

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:14.480
diagonal screen size Intel has different specs for how thick an Ultrabook is

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

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

00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:29.360
Intel isn't too stringent on battery life the requirement is 5 hours and

00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:34.080
that's that means five hours of like real five hours not like five hours of

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

00:27:36.520 --> 00:27:43.200
last for five hours no five hours with Wi-Fi with using the computer of actual

00:27:41.399 --> 00:27:47.440
General usage and Intel validates this stuff okay however the sort of the

00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:51.840
recommended what we're seeing more commonly is closer to around eight hours

00:27:49.679 --> 00:27:55.880
which is fantastic I mean eight hours is long enough that you can realistically

00:27:53.840 --> 00:27:58.679
use the computer in sort of an all day type environment as long as you're

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

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

00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:14.200
SSD is a necessary part of the Ultrabook

00:28:09.760 --> 00:28:16.320
spec it is not an SSD is a great way to

00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:19.679
meet the Ultrabook spec because it'll mean that you can have a thinner form

00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:23.120
factor if you're using like an M SATA SSD it'll mean that your power

00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:30.279
consumption will be really low it'll run really cool um it will also enable fast

00:28:27.159 --> 00:28:32.440
wake from sleep times and overall Snappy

00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:37.840
performance so Intel has a spec that says it can take no longer than seven

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

00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:47.440
going to have a couple episodes on the ncixcom channel featuring him in the

00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:50.120
next uh next week or two um so Ben

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:54.320
pointed out to me that with an SSD an Ultra Book can typically and oh yeah

00:28:52.159 --> 00:28:58.200
boot boot times are uh are probably looked at as well although it wasn't on

00:28:55.720 --> 00:29:02.200
the list of things that are and analyzed so the UEFI BIOS went very quickly the

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

00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:10.640
to sleep and opened it up it took less than two steambow less than two seconds

00:29:08.399 --> 00:29:15.039
to be fully functional when it was coming up from sleep so an SSD enables

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

00:29:18.360 --> 00:29:25.480
manufacturer to implement a hybrid solution such as a hard drive with an

00:29:22.840 --> 00:29:31.480
SSD cache the SSD cache has to be at least 16 gigs and with that hybrid

00:29:28.320 --> 00:29:32.880
solution you can honestly with the hard

00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:36.720
drive you would just wouldn't be able to meet the spec Intel doesn't explicitly

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

00:29:38.679 --> 00:29:45.519
to this performance standard which rules out hard drives so with a hybrid drive

00:29:42.760 --> 00:29:50.039
you can meet that spec while not having the add extra expense of going with a

00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:54.799
straight SSD solution so something like a momentus XT or a separate 16 gig on an

00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:58.039
MSA with a separate mechanical hard drive running in the Shell uh these are

00:29:56.679 --> 00:30:02.880
solutions that the partners can Implement so okay so there's a

00:30:00.399 --> 00:30:07.240
performance aspect um it has to use a third generation core I3 I5 or i7

00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:11.399
processor I you know personally I wouldn't mind if they locked it down to

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

00:30:13.120 --> 00:30:21.000
they're not um they're not going to deliver that that snappiness that

00:30:16.399 --> 00:30:24.000
performance um connectivity an Ultrabook

00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:26.640
must have a highspeed connectivity Now

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

00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:35.240
port and it or or sorry or it must have

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

00:30:37.679 --> 00:30:43.159
other things with respect to connectivity is that I believe business

00:30:40.679 --> 00:30:48.279
class Ultrabooks must have an Ethernet port they can't rely solely on Wi-Fi now

00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:51.039
all Ultrabooks do have to have Wi-Fi which makes sense because none of them

00:30:49.760 --> 00:30:55.279
really have Optical drives and if you had no Wi-Fi and this Ultrabook this

00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:58.919
like portable device that actually you have to plug in every time you use it

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

00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:10.120
of the other things Ultrabooks must have right they must have Intel's identity

00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:12.039
protection technology and they must have

00:31:10.120 --> 00:31:18.120
Intel's anti- theft technology now we did a really cool Tech tips um about

00:31:15.639 --> 00:31:21.799
Intel anti- theft technology and I'm going to give you guys uh I'm actually

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:27.440
going to give those of you who are who are subscribed to uh who not subscribed

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

00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:35.320
Twitter I am going to explain one of the

00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:41.480
most cryptic things that I have ever uploaded to the internet ever today so

00:31:39.639 --> 00:31:45.120
this was an image that I that I uploaded today this is the Crazy Russian for

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

00:31:49.080 --> 00:31:55.039
that's him drawing an evil mustache on

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

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

00:32:04.320 --> 00:32:10.320
should have actually I couldn't have because I stole it I went to a nearby

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

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

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

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

00:32:26.919 --> 00:32:33.519
ultra book at a pre-bio level so there's

00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:38.960
like there's like hardware and then there's like like bare metal firmware

00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:43.279
then there's BIOS which is programmable you can erase and and reflash it then

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

00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:51.200
and the subscription to mcafe service I think cost like 60 bucks a year or

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

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

00:32:56.399 --> 00:33:02.480
an internet connection shut off and lock

00:33:00.399 --> 00:33:09.360
you can also tell it next time you have network connectivity shut off lock um

00:33:06.679 --> 00:33:15.399
you can't get around this reformatting the OS will not help reflashing the BIOS

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

00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:22.480
was able to show the screen to the camera and go okay there's a message

00:33:20.679 --> 00:33:26.360
from Ben hi this says Ben please return my laptop and you cannot boot The

00:33:24.760 --> 00:33:30.960
Notebook no matter what you do which is very very cool so that is required as

00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:34.440
part of the Ultrabook spec every Ultra Book must have that feature so if you

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

00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:43.200
Ultrabook was within about a couple block radius just using uh just using

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

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

00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:54.760
there's anything else that I'm forgetting about the whole Ultrabook

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

00:33:56.440 --> 00:34:04.320
Ultrabook and if of course there's probably like 1

00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:07.080
billion um okay change the Ultrabook

00:34:04.320 --> 00:34:12.119
topic okay I'm sorry I'm sorry the Ultrabook topic isn't interesting for

00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:13.399
you uh something about gangdam style

00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:18.159
okay we're not talking about that okay you guys aren't interested in Ultrabook

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

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

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

00:34:27.040 --> 00:34:32.839
stuff Dom why do retail shops say one or

00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:38.320
two gig graphics and not the specs of the card because retail shops you know

00:34:35.240 --> 00:34:40.079
big box retail guys who rely on the

00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:45.839
ignorance of their customers to make additional margin don't want to tell you

00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:52.599
any spec that will be helpful because from their perspective like okay this is

00:34:49.399 --> 00:34:54.320
a 2 gig graphics card so from their

00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:59.240
perspective would they rather sell you so this this costs like 300 bucks okay

00:34:56.800 --> 00:35:04.200
so would they rather convince you that the Cheapo graphics card that they have

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

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

00:35:11.680 --> 00:35:18.640
other two gig card absolutely and because the customers walking into these

00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:23.800
places don't have the knowledge and the experience to know that the GPU the

00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:28.359
memory bus the amount of memory the speed of the memory the type of the

00:35:25.160 --> 00:35:30.760
memory all of these things are way

00:35:28.359 --> 00:35:35.880
way more important than the amount of memory on a video card in fact for any

00:35:33.359 --> 00:35:41.040
lowend to mid-range card the amount of memory is actually almost totally

00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:46.079
meaningless because it doesn't have the GPU horsepower to back up that memory

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

00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:55.560
put a 4 gig frame buffer on it there's no reason you couldn't do

00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:58.440
it that card could potentially hold

00:35:55.560 --> 00:36:04.359
enough texture data in its frame buffer to power like a six monitor gaming setup

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

00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:12.880
who cares can have all the memory it wants it's totally irrelevant because it

00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:16.800
will be bottlenecked by the GPU power long before the memory amount even

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

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

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

00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:33.839
surround all of a sudden more memory starts to matter because it has the GPU

00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:37.599
horsepower to back it up so it all comes down to resolution as well as how

00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:40.760
demanding the textures of the game are if you're running high-r texture packs

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

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

00:36:48.319 --> 00:36:55.240
at a smooth 30 40 FPS so there hopefully

00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:58.359
that addresses the topic of GPU memory

00:36:55.240 --> 00:36:59.760
once and for all let's go ahead and have

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

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

00:37:07.160 --> 00:37:11.839
two minutes does that mean you could also hack into the anti thefting to lock

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

00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:21.880
yet um Alex is in a good mood cool story

00:37:18.640 --> 00:37:24.880
Alex uh building a webcam Ultra

00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:26.960
Book an Ultra Book with AMD's apus would

00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:31.720
be great for portable gaming fantastic Point Alex Wagner so I don't know if you

00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:36.680
guys saw my episode about AMD's or rather two episodes on my NCIX Tech tips

00:37:33.800 --> 00:37:39.560
Channel about AMD's apus so what we discovered is that as a CPU with

00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:45.040
dedicated graphics yeah um it's semi-competitive

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

00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:54.960
awards however if you're using the onboard Graphics it wipes the floor with

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

00:37:57.040 --> 00:38:03.119
graphics versus onboard Graphics Apu

00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:05.000
destroys Intel so uh an Ultra Book with

00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:08.400
APU Graphics would actually be fantastic for Ultra portable gaming I am super

00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:12.960
excited though to see what Intel's Haswell brings to the table because

00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:16.800
Haswell is going to be very power efficient and they are going to be

00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:19.280
dramatically boosting up the performance of the

00:38:19.720 --> 00:38:25.480
GPU um Derek says thank you for saying

00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:31.079
my name you're welcome again Derek uh David says i' prefer GPS me too

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

00:38:33.160 --> 00:38:38.440
they could do it with GPS it's just that's not the requirement

00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:43.880
yet um Troy line is how can I stop my Galaxy

00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:47.480
S from discharging when I charging it and using it could I buy a different

00:38:45.200 --> 00:38:51.160
battery please Troy the only thing I can tell you is uh get maybe a higher

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

00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:58.040
motherboards that have like superpowered like 3x powered USB ports that'll charge

00:38:56.680 --> 00:39:01.440
things faster um just make sure you don't totally

00:38:59.680 --> 00:39:08.280
exceed the amount of current that's uh supposed to be used to charge

00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:12.599
that um join lus fan club what is this

00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:14.599
lus fan club that is a bizarre thing sir

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

00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:23.920
necessarily think I need a fan club per se that's an awesome security feature

00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:28.760
what are your thoughts on sleekbook I haven't heard of sleekbook

00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:31.680
unfortunately uh what is the

00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:38.000
what you see improved what do you think Kyle what's your favorite junk food my

00:39:33.680 --> 00:39:39.839
favorite junk food um Lindor chocolates

00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:44.480
I love Lindor chocolates I'm a total girl when it comes to Lindor chocolates

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

00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:53.800
sort of an arbitrary number especially because anyone starting raising a baby

00:39:51.160 --> 00:39:57.119
now will still be raising a baby 18 years from now which means that those

00:39:55.240 --> 00:40:03.040
numbers will be totally irrelevant because of inflation and whatever else

00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:05.800
but yeah that's cool okay uh Michael VA

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

00:40:08.560 --> 00:40:16.319
than it is to a PVA or MVA however I was

00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:19.200
just made aware today of a new VA it's

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

00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:29.560
have to look this up but uh google.ca

00:40:25.319 --> 00:40:31.400
haava panel no no that might not be it

00:40:29.560 --> 00:40:35.319
uh Ben Q

00:40:33.119 --> 00:40:39.720
Ava hva shoot I'm I'm I'm boned I can't

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

00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:47.520
type that is not a PLS it's not an IPS

00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:53.119
but it's similar in technology and they're super excited it's going to have

00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:56.440
100% srgb color gamut it's going to have

00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:58.839
a 178° viewing angle so the spec looks

00:40:56.440 --> 00:41:03.680
very similar to can be achieved with PLS but right now based on what's actually

00:41:00.720 --> 00:41:09.040
available at this moment I'm a huge PLS guy I love

00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:13.560
PLS um Colin don't worry nothing happens to your warranty on 660ti Plat power

00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:18.160
Edition nothing happens MSI will still deal with

00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:23.720
it okay when can we expect something something what do you think of okay ye

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

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

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

00:41:36.319 --> 00:41:42.920
generations behind LGA 1155 in terms of

00:41:40.040 --> 00:41:47.480
the CPU architecture it is still using Sandy bridge- e for I don't know

00:41:45.520 --> 00:41:52.720
Enthusiast workstation whatever e stands for so Sandy Bridge has been wait hold

00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:57.240
on Sandy Bridge no sorry it's one generation behind and once Haswell

00:41:54.640 --> 00:42:01.160
Launches on LGA 1155 it will be two Generations behind so by the time it

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

00:42:02.640 --> 00:42:09.720
terms of instruction per clock it is behind so single threaded performance is

00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:16.079
actually lower on LGA 2011 than it is on 1155 in spite of 2011 being the

00:42:12.319 --> 00:42:16.079
Enthusiast platform

00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:24.079
okay are enthusiasts happy about this I don't know uh personally as a 2011 user

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

00:42:26.280 --> 00:42:31.480
know had Haswell e to go into my system

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

00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:41.079
straw in terms of upgrades um however the advantage of

00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:47.240
2011 is that it's getting a much more advanced so much more robust overall

00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:49.559
architecture so 2011 when Ivy Bridge

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

00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:59.599
2011 LGA 1155 then we got Ivy bridge

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

00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:07.800
gone through two architectural changes then we're going to get Ivy Bridge e

00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:13.240
which will be sort of caught up but still a generation behind however LGA

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

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

00:43:19.160 --> 00:43:24.079
lot of video six cores there's actually more important than a few more

00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:29.800
instructions per clock okay so once we get once we get

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

00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:39.000
high performance cores because there's no need to have a GPU Core built in as

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

00:43:41.760 --> 00:43:51.280
doubt it however looking back at LGA 1366 so remember 1366 lasted

00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:56.200
throughout part of 775 you know 775 was still there on the

00:43:53.720 --> 00:44:00.400
low end when 1366 was a premium platform lasted through

00:43:57.720 --> 00:44:04.280
1156 and was still relevant once we moved to 1155 if I recall correctly

00:44:03.200 --> 00:44:08.599
although I could be getting that mix either way 1366 lasted for multiple

00:44:06.720 --> 00:44:12.240
mainstream sockets and there's no reason to believe that LGA 2011 won't last

00:44:10.640 --> 00:44:16.240
through multiple mainstream sockets it's got all those pins um worst case

00:44:14.520 --> 00:44:20.559
scenario they might do a chipset refresh or something like that but they probably

00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:25.559
won't change the socket and um I guess basically I don't really

00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:27.839
know Nick says can I have a shout out

00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:31.559
please okay Nick you are

00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:33.760
shouted um Raz wants to know can you please tell me what should be the

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

00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:42.000
card so unfortunately it's one of those questions that I know you've tweeted

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

00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:50.079
are good up to 90 95 degrees um and they're actually designed to run like

00:44:48.079 --> 00:44:52.760
that however you can see what Intel and AMD have been doing with the last couple

00:44:51.359 --> 00:44:56.359
Generations improving the power efficiency and improving the

00:44:54.520 --> 00:45:02.319
temperatures that they're probably not trying to have their gpus run so hot

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

00:45:04.200 --> 00:45:09.680
yes air great question this is one of the other topics that I wanted to launch

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

00:45:15.240 --> 00:45:22.200
for a gaming machine and I should clarify oops amir's question is actually

00:45:20.200 --> 00:45:27.599
not as terrible so he wants to know would you recommend two GTX 690s or four

00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:30.079
GTX 680s for extreme benchmarking easy

00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:33.480
answer for GTX 680s the reason for that is they overclock better than 690s

00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:38.960
although that's not as true anymore so you'd have to find ones that overvolt

00:45:36.760 --> 00:45:43.240
um along the lines of that green light topic we were talking about

00:45:40.680 --> 00:45:46.440
earlier um and just the fact that in terms of thermals you will be less

00:45:45.200 --> 00:45:50.839
limited because you can use better cooling on them by having them

00:45:48.440 --> 00:45:56.200
separated now forget extreme benchmarking I have a lot of people ask

00:45:53.160 --> 00:45:59.000
me about anything beyond two-way SLI so

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

00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:07.319
I get uh should I get dual 690s should I

00:46:04.280 --> 00:46:10.040
get uh should I get quad 680s or triple

00:46:07.319 --> 00:46:14.200
680s or what whatever else okay so few things so number one power consumption

00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:20.079
is going to go through the roof number two the actual effici like the actual

00:46:18.079 --> 00:46:25.920
performance you gain I did a great video about this the actual performance you

00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:29.640
gain from three-way SLI oh shoot there

00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:31.680
we go 3-way SLI Linus let's try

00:46:29.640 --> 00:46:35.920
searching for that here so the actual performance you gain from 3way SLI from

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

00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:44.240
while back so this was GTX 690 versus

00:46:40.839 --> 00:46:45.559
3-way 670 and yeah you should definitely

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

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

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

00:46:56.920 --> 00:47:03.319
money on these gpus I want to have a great gaming experience I want the

00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:05.400
maximum FPS to which I would reply wrong

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

00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:16.119
is more to gaming there is more to a high-end system than throwing more

00:47:12.720 --> 00:47:18.760
graphics cards into it so I see people

00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:24.000
um and dual 690s I guess is less ridiculous than triple and quadruple

00:47:21.680 --> 00:47:30.160
cards for this reason we've only got seven expansions

00:47:26.920 --> 00:47:32.880
slot on even your highest end board

00:47:30.160 --> 00:47:37.240
something like an ASRock extreme 11 uh where they actually manage to implement

00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:43.240
Seven slots on a 2011 board that's your best case scenario if you install three

00:47:41.599 --> 00:47:47.720
graphics cards never mind four where there'll be absolutely no slots left if

00:47:44.720 --> 00:47:49.359
you install three graphics cards on most

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

00:47:51.040 --> 00:47:55.720
something stupid due to the way that they do the slot layouts if you have

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

00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:04.640
sound card where is your raid card where

00:48:03.319 --> 00:48:09.680
is your anything your HDMI capture card for

00:48:07.680 --> 00:48:14.240
streaming your gaming or your G for casting or whatever else most

00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:19.720
importantly where is your sound card anyone who thinks that sound is not an

00:48:17.240 --> 00:48:25.160
important aspect of gaming and is willing to compromise on the sound

00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:31.240
experience use their onboard sound instead

00:48:27.640 --> 00:48:33.079
of or is willing to use that for the

00:48:31.240 --> 00:48:38.839
pleasure of putting in another graphics card to get another 10% 15% maybe 20%

00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:43.680
performance Improvement is just wrong you're wrong because a huge part of a

00:48:41.680 --> 00:48:49.480
cinematic experience whether it's movies or games a huge part of your immersion

00:48:46.720 --> 00:48:53.480
is the sound experience why do you enjoy the movie theater why did you I mean

00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:56.960
let's okay not even today where we've got digital production and great screens

00:48:55.319 --> 00:49:01.920
in most movie theaters let's go back to years ago when most movie theaters had

00:48:59.319 --> 00:49:06.640
like little pops and circles and sort of artifacts all over the screen were you

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

00:49:08.160 --> 00:49:16.599
like this pristine crystal clear screen no you were going there to get

00:49:13.640 --> 00:49:21.839
absolutely rocked by their 20.2 surround system with huge

00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:26.839
subwoofers because it makes for a more IM immersive experience there is more to

00:49:24.359 --> 00:49:30.839
life than more graphics cards and more Gamers need to realize this I've

00:49:28.640 --> 00:49:34.839
actually made a point of retweeting some of the tweets people have sent me lonus

00:49:32.599 --> 00:49:39.359
you talked me into buying a sound card holy crap I can't believe I ever

00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:44.799
listened to those people who said that a sound card doesn't make a difference get

00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:47.920
a real sound card get a proper headset

00:49:44.799 --> 00:49:50.319
get proper speakers you will thank me do

00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:54.160
not buy more graphics cards two graphics cards is pretty much enough here's

00:49:52.319 --> 00:49:59.079
another reason so people might respond to me lonus I need more graphics cards

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

00:50:01.160 --> 00:50:09.599
super high resolution displays wrong again the reason for that is that in SLI

00:50:06.520 --> 00:50:11.440
the graphics cards actually don't build

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

00:50:13.720 --> 00:50:23.240
vram effectively if you have two 3 gig graphics cards you have three

00:50:20.720 --> 00:50:27.480
gigs of Graphics memory that is actually usable by your system if you have four 3

00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:32.640
gig graphics cards I know I'm emphasizing this a lot you have 3 gigs

00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:36.680
of address Graphics memory which means that by the time you got to a resolution

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

00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:47.599
of vram oh which brings me back to actually 680 quad SLI versus 690 SLI so

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

00:50:50.799 --> 00:50:59.000
terrible because you lose all of your expandability for your system fantastic

00:50:55.799 --> 00:51:01.200
and then quad SLI with 690s is terrible

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

00:51:03.319 --> 00:51:09.960
which is not useful for anything higher than about 2560 x600 single display

00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:14.240
you're not going to be using a 2 gig frame buffer to get an optimal

00:51:11.799 --> 00:51:19.440
experience on Triple displays you'd probably be better off going with like

00:51:16.359 --> 00:51:21.920
dual 67 all right like dual 660 Ti 3

00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:26.280
gigs or something like that actually no that's probably not fair I mean dual

00:51:23.599 --> 00:51:32.440
6804 gigs or something along those lines May actually be a better solution than

00:51:28.720 --> 00:51:35.799
290s because of the limited vrm so there

00:51:32.440 --> 00:51:37.720
that's my lecture on trip SLI quad SLI

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

00:51:41.240 --> 00:51:45.520
do what whoopsy daisies where's my uh

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

00:51:48.040 --> 00:51:54.440
benchmark record it doesn't make sense all right so now that I've done

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

00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:03.359
more conversation sidarth I actually don't know of a mechanical keyboard with

00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:06.640
blue or brown switches that has a backl I think uh ducky might have something

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

00:52:09.200 --> 00:52:12.559
nothing I got

00:52:17.359 --> 00:52:23.640
nothing H this is funny uh Alex great

00:52:21.240 --> 00:52:27.839
suggestion actually this is planned Alex writes in can you do a giveaway where we

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

00:52:29.640 --> 00:52:35.040
haven't announced this in any way so this live stream will be the first time

00:52:32.760 --> 00:52:40.200
anyone's hearing about this but Corsair is actually sponsoring a contest I'm

00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:41.520
going to have five k90 keyboards so

00:52:40.200 --> 00:52:47.559
these are like 100 plus dollar mechanical keyboards backlights macros

00:52:44.480 --> 00:52:49.119
the whole works cherry red switches I'm

00:52:47.559 --> 00:52:54.400
going to have five of them to give away to the five best nerd rage videos

00:52:51.880 --> 00:52:59.760
however don't start working on your video now I can't emphasize this enough

00:52:56.559 --> 00:53:01.760
I'm going to have rules and requirements

00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:05.400
there have been fantastic videos that have been submitted for my video

00:53:03.359 --> 00:53:10.079
response contest in the past that have been disqualified because they didn't

00:53:07.680 --> 00:53:13.359
listen to the requirements okay you're going to have to pay special close

00:53:11.440 --> 00:53:17.040
attention to what will be the judging requirements and I don't want to hear

00:53:14.760 --> 00:53:21.799
any complaining if you don't win because you didn't participate correctly however

00:53:19.480 --> 00:53:25.280
that giveaway is coming probably I'll have a video up sometime in the next

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

00:53:29.079 --> 00:53:34.480
Nexus 7 Nexus 7 is a fantastic value have you guys heard about the price drop

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

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

00:53:41.520 --> 00:53:49.640
processor which is actually fast on like well Egra 2 was not that fast GPU wise

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

00:53:52.599 --> 00:54:01.760
not not generating a great user experience for me these days

00:53:57.480 --> 00:54:01.760
um thank you Caleb his his name was big

00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:07.880
something what else we got here Dale I

00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:10.559
get a lot of questions about this what power supply would you recommend this is

00:54:09.359 --> 00:54:15.640
sort of the general question so I'm going to answer Dale's specific question

00:54:12.559 --> 00:54:17.359
when I'm sing GTX 660 Ti I have three

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

00:54:20.040 --> 00:54:25.400
nearly enough information if I'd read your entire tweet before I started

00:54:23.200 --> 00:54:28.160
reading it out loud I probably wouldn't have responded to this question because

00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:32.960
the information you're giving me is totally useless I know you have two 660

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

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

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

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

00:54:50.200 --> 00:54:55.640
fans consume like nothing people who tell me like who ask me what power

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

00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:06.440
Watts out of your power supply totally irrelevant totally doesn't matter um

00:55:03.599 --> 00:55:11.440
same thing with a course h100 um it doesn't really consume a significant

00:55:08.760 --> 00:55:15.839
amount of power so shout out to sou America I almost said South Africa shout

00:55:13.440 --> 00:55:21.559
out to that too but you know um hesu says why do people mistake

00:55:19.160 --> 00:55:26.960
earphones for headphones in vice versa I just wanted to get that point out there

00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:28.280
because it's annoying okay hu 27 2 new

00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:32.760
interactions you guys are killing me here you know what I'm going to actually

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

00:55:36.160 --> 00:55:42.760
fantastic point so we are going to run through the math of why I cannot reply

00:55:40.400 --> 00:55:46.920
to every Twitter message I get since I started running the contest I have

00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:53.680
received more than 1,000 Twitter messages per day Twitter

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

00:55:56.000 --> 00:56:04.000
that means if I sat there and typed at my computer and literally replied to a

00:56:00.880 --> 00:56:05.880
thousand messages I would actually get

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

00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:14.119
say you have reached your Tweet limit you cannot tweet

00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:17.240
anymore okay aside from that they split

00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:18.920
up that thousand tweet limit into time

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

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

00:56:23.920 --> 00:56:28.960
lying in bed with my laptop and typing like this or sitting down and like

00:56:27.559 --> 00:56:32.839
hammering them away and trying to get caught up because Twitter is going to

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

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

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

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

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

00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:58.000
out some tweets um but beyond that there's just nothing I can do the sheer

00:56:55.880 --> 00:57:04.240
volume of messages I reive like guys think about this okay go and read a

00:57:00.240 --> 00:57:07.440
tweet and then like reply to it and then

00:57:04.240 --> 00:57:09.559
yourself now times a thousand every day

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

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

00:57:16.720 --> 00:57:23.240
going to absolutely destroy any progress I could have possibly made at catching

00:57:21.599 --> 00:57:28.200
up because in this live stream alone I've already received well over 600

00:57:25.119 --> 00:57:30.200
tweets so so I'm sorry guys I do my best

00:57:28.200 --> 00:57:33.079
it's all I can do it is not mathematically possible for me to reply

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

00:57:35.200 --> 00:57:42.079
tweet that person usually tweets me back which means that what was a thousand

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

00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:49.440
have to reply a second time and then maybe even let's say half of those

00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:53.160
people again reply to me again so now every thousand tweets is actually

00:57:50.920 --> 00:57:56.599
probably more like 1,700 tweets by the time I'm actually done addressing the

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

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

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

00:58:07.160 --> 00:58:13.000
anything at Linus Tech and throw in your own answers that would be great that

00:58:11.319 --> 00:58:16.760
would actually be immensely helpful for me because I can't reply to them all on

00:58:14.920 --> 00:58:21.039
my own all right what else we got here tiny

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

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

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

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

00:58:35.640 --> 00:58:40.680
660 because I'm trying to build a gaming machine that isn't that expensive GTX

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

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

00:58:46.280 --> 00:58:54.880
just going to do this why am I doing this um editing looks great What program

00:58:50.400 --> 00:58:56.920
does diesel use diesel uses Adobe CS6 so

00:58:54.880 --> 00:59:02.280
everything you saw done previously by myself or by Slick was done using Vegas

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

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

00:59:10.240 --> 00:59:16.119
that is one of the reasons that the NC Tech tips episodes have had a higher

00:59:14.200 --> 00:59:20.119
standard of quality he's Al he also knows how to use After Effects which is

00:59:17.680 --> 00:59:24.359
like voodoo magic to me so Phil great

00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:28.960
question there's really that nothing that's special about a 3960x compared to

00:59:26.520 --> 00:59:34.160
a 3930k uh it used to be that the extreme Edition was somewhat

00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:38.480
justifiable uh because it was unlocked so you could break benchmarking records

00:59:36.520 --> 00:59:43.359
and if you like really wanted sort of the the epen of having an extreme

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

00:59:45.799 --> 00:59:52.119
lower stock clock speed and other than that it actually overclocks exactly the

00:59:49.799 --> 00:59:57.280
same so we're talking performance within like 1% 2% of each other once you

00:59:54.680 --> 01:00:01.920
overclock them both to the max so um I've never recommended a 3960x to anyone

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

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

01:00:10.680 --> 01:00:17.359
not something that I've ever really recommended uh can you talk about micro

01:00:16.119 --> 01:00:22.480
stuttering you know what I can't talk about micro stuttering I don't see

01:00:19.839 --> 01:00:25.400
it um micro stuttering is one of those things that bothers some people a lot

01:00:24.240 --> 01:00:30.640
more than it bothers other people it's like motion motion blur drives me nuts

01:00:28.599 --> 01:00:35.400
on monitors lots of people can't see it at all

01:00:32.039 --> 01:00:38.880
so um Eric if I had to would I rather

01:00:35.400 --> 01:00:41.440
fight one horse sized duck or a hundred

01:00:38.880 --> 01:00:41.440
duck-sized

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

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

01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:58.480
in the ankles I've actually been kicked by a horse before and before the obvious

01:00:56.200 --> 01:01:03.599
joke that explains a lot table slapping you know that's a

01:01:01.000 --> 01:01:06.920
knee slapping joke right there um before you make that joke it was a baby horse

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

01:01:09.359 --> 01:01:15.319
Boondocks and we had we had ostriches and pigs and horses and all kinds of

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

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

01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:27.680
disagreement once about whether she was going to walk with me or whether she was

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

01:01:31.359 --> 01:01:36.200
the business if you guys have horses you know you give them a little you pull

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

01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:44.160
their head down the head down is a submissive posture for a horse so you're

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

01:01:46.400 --> 01:01:54.520
they put their heads up you know rear up that's that's aggressive um okay

01:01:51.319 --> 01:01:56.200
so she surprised me and she pulled away

01:01:54.520 --> 01:01:59.880
really quickly and then she started doing that whole like Bronco

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

01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:08.960
front legs and kicking her back legs out behind her and she actually nailed me

01:02:05.480 --> 01:02:11.599
right in the head so um she got me right

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

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

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

01:02:24.200 --> 01:02:31.960
simulate it I've seen my Vision just start to okay wow look this thing

01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:35.480
whatever it starts to go wow this thing gets light even if I cover it completely

01:02:33.680 --> 01:02:41.720
okay whatever that's the only two times in my life that my vision has actually

01:02:37.640 --> 01:02:44.680
gone okay come on focus focus focus you

01:02:41.720 --> 01:02:49.279
got this that my there we go that my vision has gone

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

01:02:51.400 --> 01:02:58.520
super sick and I just about passed out on top of the nurse and um

01:02:56.520 --> 01:03:01.440
accidentally of course and then the other time was when I got kicked by this

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

01:03:03.480 --> 01:03:10.760
the head I blacked out and then I came

01:03:06.960 --> 01:03:14.000
to in time to hit the ground and luckily

01:03:10.760 --> 01:03:16.200
I wasn't hurt but man was I ever mad so

01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:21.119
uh basically she got the old you know grabbed her again no pull down gave her

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

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

01:03:27.520 --> 01:03:32.760
they're a crafty Bunch um so yeah that's

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

01:03:35.240 --> 01:03:41.760
kicked in the head by a horse uh Lyndon someone's already asked

01:03:39.559 --> 01:03:44.880
that sorry dude uh they're they're lower grade panels so they're cheaper there

01:03:43.720 --> 01:03:50.559
you go and a the suggestions to use uh here

01:03:48.359 --> 01:03:53.920
the suggestions to use Facebook instead of Twitter in order to get around the

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

01:03:56.240 --> 01:04:03.359
a day not so much just the physical impossibility of it but the fact that I

01:04:00.559 --> 01:04:08.000
just can't do it um it's just not it's just not not not

01:04:05.200 --> 01:04:11.079
possible um Christian I have a question why will the number pad on my Razor Naga

01:04:09.640 --> 01:04:13.960
not work uh there's a switch on the bottom Christian in all likelihood you

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

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

01:04:22.440 --> 01:04:27.720
defective so they'd be the best ones to talk to about something like that

01:04:27.920 --> 01:04:34.440
uh noua wants to know what would I recommend isus Sabertooth z77 or the new

01:04:32.839 --> 01:04:39.240
motherboard from MSI the Big Bang Empower um honestly either of them are

01:04:36.880 --> 01:04:43.920
great options so ASUS backs it up with a 5-year warranty which is cool awesome

01:04:41.680 --> 01:04:48.839
and then MSI has a three-year warranty but they're hand testing every single

01:04:45.640 --> 01:04:50.400
board in an overclocked scenario so I

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

01:04:51.920 --> 01:04:57.640
like go for it they're both absolutely fantastic options

01:04:57.680 --> 01:04:59.920
all

01:05:02.279 --> 01:05:10.359
right Brandon there we go fantastic question

01:05:07.200 --> 01:05:13.799
when does a motherboard really affect

01:05:10.359 --> 01:05:16.279
with an a Brandon really affect

01:05:13.799 --> 01:05:19.119
performance uh the answer is sort of complicated so there's a lot of ways

01:05:17.880 --> 01:05:25.720
that a motherboard can affect performance so in terms of the features

01:05:22.960 --> 01:05:30.760
that it delivers so uh ausis implementation of USB 3 for example as

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

01:05:32.160 --> 01:05:38.279
faster performance regardless of you know which here I'm going to see if I've

01:05:36.520 --> 01:05:42.559
got one in my pocket you know regardless of which usb3 device you're using or

01:05:40.680 --> 01:05:48.200
whatever the case may be you will get better performance uh from an ASUS

01:05:45.760 --> 01:05:54.000
chipset uh or from an ASUS board using their as media chipset and their um uasp

01:05:51.520 --> 01:05:56.880
or their Turbo Modes so that's one of the ways a motherboard can affect

01:05:55.160 --> 01:06:01.119
performance um it can affect performance in terms of just what features it has

01:05:58.640 --> 01:06:06.279
enabled so if you want to run dual Graphics SLI Crossfire you better get a

01:06:04.119 --> 01:06:10.920
motherboard that supports it otherwise you won't get that performance because

01:06:08.079 --> 01:06:15.039
you can't install those things so there's that it can affect overclocking

01:06:13.480 --> 01:06:19.119
which means like if you have a better power delivery system it runs cooler uh

01:06:17.520 --> 01:06:22.720
you're going to get slightly better overclocking results um BIOS

01:06:21.160 --> 01:06:27.559
optimization is another way that the motherboard can affect performance and

01:06:24.559 --> 01:06:29.079
overclocking so um the better they

01:06:27.559 --> 01:06:34.079
program the BIOS the better the power delivery is the better it is however

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

01:06:37.279 --> 01:06:42.960
in the socket a days that you could actually like run gaming benchmarks on

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

01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:53.039
these days totally unheard of it doesn't happen anymore um at at the same speed

01:06:51.680 --> 01:06:59.599
at the same frequency that's what I'm talking about and that was because of

01:06:55.200 --> 01:07:01.640
the way that the manufacturers were um

01:06:59.599 --> 01:07:06.119
designing the board I mean they were they were doing so much more work at the

01:07:03.359 --> 01:07:10.480
BIOS level because they had to optimize for the communication from the FSB

01:07:08.279 --> 01:07:13.400
between the over the FSB between the CPU and the chipset and then from the

01:07:11.839 --> 01:07:18.039
chipset to everything else including the RAM the second that the integrated

01:07:16.279 --> 01:07:23.039
memory controller came along with the Athlon 64 the second that the memory

01:07:20.599 --> 01:07:28.240
controller was taken off the chipset all of a sudden um there was less

01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:33.480
differentiation in terms of performance because there was nothing the motherboard manufacturers could really

01:07:31.079 --> 01:07:38.079
do besides routing the traces really cleanly to the memory banks that would

01:07:35.839 --> 01:07:41.839
affect the way that the performance was going to play out because it was no

01:07:40.359 --> 01:07:44.559
longer being relayed by anything there was no like tweaking they could do to

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

01:07:49.400 --> 01:07:54.760
and I mean even then though you know PCI Express AGP these were features that

01:07:53.440 --> 01:08:00.720
could differentiate boards you know better implement of the graphics ports

01:07:57.799 --> 01:08:06.799
um was something whereas now especially on the Intel platform even PCI Express

01:08:03.640 --> 01:08:08.640
Lanes are implemented at the CPU level

01:08:06.799 --> 01:08:12.279
so what's not implemented at the CPU level now there's a few things so

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

01:08:14.599 --> 01:08:20.480
bridge um so really anything that's built into

01:08:18.960 --> 01:08:24.319
the CPU there's not much the motherboard manufacturers can do about it besides

01:08:22.120 --> 01:08:28.040
helping you tweak more overclocking speed out of it

01:08:25.960 --> 01:08:30.480
everything else now okay so yeah onboard Graphics was another way that

01:08:29.359 --> 01:08:36.199
motherboard manufacturers could differentiate now that's built onto the CPU

01:08:32.920 --> 01:08:38.120
too so really there's not uh there's not

01:08:36.199 --> 01:08:43.520
a whole lot left they can build in uh you know things like SAS functionality

01:08:40.159 --> 01:08:45.799
like gigabyt sun with the X x79 S5

01:08:43.520 --> 01:08:49.640
things like Thunderbolt so connectivity more usb3 ports better usb3

01:08:47.880 --> 01:08:54.560
implementations better sound implementation such as A's done with the

01:08:51.960 --> 01:08:58.239
Maximus 5 formula uh these are the ways that these motherboard guys can really

01:08:56.239 --> 01:09:03.000
differentiate from each other but in terms of performance you sit down you

01:09:00.159 --> 01:09:07.000
play a game performance there's not much of a Delta

01:09:04.600 --> 01:09:11.319
anymore um oh dude do you have do you have to

01:09:09.520 --> 01:09:14.279
have that Twitter name it's like I I hardly even want to reply to your

01:09:12.520 --> 01:09:18.600
message but what reason would make you end your YouTube career um good question

01:09:17.080 --> 01:09:25.080
I guess I haven't really thought about it I have zero intention of stopping uh

01:09:22.520 --> 01:09:30.839
making videos on YouTube if anything I feel rejuvenated these days because it

01:09:27.520 --> 01:09:33.880
was uh it was a huge milestone for me to

01:09:30.839 --> 01:09:36.400
hit that like just huge I cannot express

01:09:33.880 --> 01:09:41.600
how awesome it was to hit that 200,000 subscriber Milestone I mean back when I

01:09:38.000 --> 01:09:44.400
started doing this um I I would look at

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

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

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

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

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

01:10:02.920 --> 01:10:07.760
really exciting to get to one of those Milestones that I'd really set for

01:10:05.960 --> 01:10:11.239
myself uh one of the first Milestones that got me really excited was the day

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

01:10:12.719 --> 01:10:17.960
time but the day that I passed Tiger Direct blog for the number of

01:10:16.440 --> 01:10:22.159
subscribers as well they've still got more views by a long shot but uh but

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

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

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

01:10:34.440 --> 01:10:41.800
that 200,000 subscriber Mark not only has it not slowed down so

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

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

01:10:47.440 --> 01:10:53.560
guys so before I hit the 200,000 subscriber Mark so you can see here this

01:10:51.960 --> 01:10:58.320
is my total number of subscribers in this column I was averaging kind of 300

01:10:56.560 --> 01:11:03.000
subscribers a day this is an anomaly I think YouTube was doing a correction

01:11:00.480 --> 01:11:07.679
when I hit that Mark all of a sudden whether it's people spreading the word

01:11:05.159 --> 01:11:11.040
more whether it's you guys supporting me and uh you know telling your friends to

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

01:11:13.640 --> 01:11:20.120
and it feels more credible to them or uh whatever has happened over the last

01:11:18.600 --> 01:11:23.560
little while I've been absolutely overwhelmed with the additional support

01:11:21.920 --> 01:11:27.880
I'm averaging more like a growth rate of 400 450 per day

01:11:25.920 --> 01:11:31.719
which is gives me all the encouragement that I need to keep the project going no

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

01:11:35.440 --> 01:11:42.159
maybe sometime in the next few months you might see me even ramp things up to

01:11:38.840 --> 01:11:44.199
a completely new level spoiler alert

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

01:11:46.000 --> 01:11:51.520
ask um what do we got let's go back to

01:11:49.880 --> 01:11:54.560
let's go back to Twitter shall we actually you know what no we're not

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

01:11:57.920 --> 01:12:04.679
cover so why four-way s is a bad idea ah

01:12:01.880 --> 01:12:07.679
this this is something where I actually don't have the answer for you guys but

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

01:12:09.480 --> 01:12:20.120
little Voyage of Discovery here and I'm going to talk about what exactly is the

01:12:16.679 --> 01:12:21.600
cost structure of displays so I will

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

01:12:41.400 --> 01:12:46.520
all right so the prices of displays what

01:12:44.800 --> 01:12:51.960
sort of prompted me to think about this was the fact that one of my buddies

01:12:48.320 --> 01:12:55.239
pointed out to me that he saw a 40in

01:12:51.960 --> 01:12:59.440
TV that was in the neighborhood of like

01:12:55.239 --> 01:13:03.400
400 or 450 bucks 1080p TV you know what

01:12:59.440 --> 01:13:07.920
I'm going to see if I can find it um

01:13:03.400 --> 01:13:09.840
1080P and then uh TV sorry I'm just I'm

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

01:13:14.040 --> 01:13:21.360
copy this too okay maybe you guys can help me figure this out because frankly

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

01:13:23.080 --> 01:13:28.960
ahead and we're going to pull up a 40in TV okay

01:13:30.960 --> 01:13:37.440
paste okay here's a 40in TV Toshiba LCD

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

01:13:39.920 --> 01:13:48.880
some kind of a VA or something it's not a TN panel it is

01:13:45.040 --> 01:13:53.719
$400 a 40in TV is

01:13:48.880 --> 01:13:56.000
$400 okay so why is it that a 40-in TV

01:13:53.719 --> 01:14:00.199
at 1080p resolution okay bear with me here going to go on

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

01:14:04.120 --> 01:14:10.080
more than a 1080p oh oh o I'm breaking

01:14:09.000 --> 01:14:16.639
everything 1080p LCD VA so let's look for let's

01:14:13.600 --> 01:14:19.679
look for a VA panel okay so here's a 27

01:14:16.639 --> 01:14:22.520
inch that's an amva LED backl okay it's

01:14:19.679 --> 01:14:25.679
got LED backlights whatever so why does it cost more I can tell you the answer

01:14:24.440 --> 01:14:28.679
it's much larger

01:14:28.880 --> 01:14:35.639
okay got it so larger costs

01:14:33.639 --> 01:14:39.400
more actually where was I going with this something to do with large and

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

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

01:14:50.360 --> 01:15:00.320
look at pixel density so when we get to pixel density all of a sudden the

01:14:56.560 --> 01:15:02.040
smaller something is the more it costs

01:15:00.320 --> 01:15:07.120
because it's more difficult to manufacture so tell me something if a

01:15:05.600 --> 01:15:11.880
bigger device that inherently has lower pixel

01:15:09.639 --> 01:15:15.400
density and a smaller device this monitor I showed you guys before this is

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

01:15:19.000 --> 01:15:26.199
things cost the same thing in cost the same in spite of the same resolution why

01:15:23.960 --> 01:15:30.719
is it that this

01:15:27.440 --> 01:15:32.600
device which actually is a 10-in panel

01:15:30.719 --> 01:15:39.440
so in terms of the actual size difference it's like a similar ratio

01:15:35.280 --> 01:15:42.600
going from like a 40in TV to a 27 in LCD

01:15:39.440 --> 01:15:44.280
why is it that this doesn't cost the

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

01:15:47.520 --> 01:15:55.120
this is a Transformer TF700 so here's my question to you what

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

01:15:59.719 --> 01:16:09.600
bigger for the same price as this

01:16:05.000 --> 01:16:11.280
LCD and we can't produce you know what I

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

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

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

01:16:20.760 --> 01:16:27.320
out because it doesn't seem to it doesn't seem like the cost scales

01:16:24.920 --> 01:16:31.960
proportionally when we increase the size and then it doesn't seem like the cost

01:16:28.719 --> 01:16:33.800
scales proportionally when we decrease

01:16:31.960 --> 01:16:37.440
the pixel density or increase the pixel density or whatever else the case may be

01:16:35.480 --> 01:16:42.360
I mean did you know that iPad Retina Display replacement IPS panels actually

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

01:16:44.760 --> 01:16:50.199
laptop repair or screen repair or something.com I give up on this topic

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

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

01:16:59.239 --> 01:17:04.560
are two new YouTube channels that you guys should totally subscribe to if

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

01:17:06.360 --> 01:17:14.880
going to bring up all of these YouTube channels do here and raise the

01:17:11.880 --> 01:17:16.560
world okay so this is one of them so

01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:20.239
this is Logan's channel from Tech Syndicate so he's actually growing

01:17:18.520 --> 01:17:25.880
pretty fast and uh things are going pretty well over there awesome sauce

01:17:23.159 --> 01:17:32.560
news is uh from that horrible horrible store in the

01:17:29.239 --> 01:17:35.000
US so he's uh he's doing he's doing his

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

01:17:36.520 --> 01:17:43.880
got like a 100 subscribers or something like that see there he is look how sexy

01:17:40.600 --> 01:17:45.760
he is okay and then finally we have

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

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

01:17:54.520 --> 01:18:01.520
enjoy what what these guys are doing here so Paul only has one video he's

01:17:59.840 --> 01:18:06.760
already produced only half as many videos as Kyle so yeah way to go way to

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

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

01:18:13.199 --> 01:18:18.199
know Bank shirt with your friends I've actually never liked a video on YouTube

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

01:18:19.960 --> 01:18:28.719
YouTube maker uh what other topics do we have

01:18:25.679 --> 01:18:32.080
ah yes I've had a lot of people ask me

01:18:28.719 --> 01:18:33.840
about my new gear that's coming so if

01:18:32.080 --> 01:18:39.719
you're not familiar with my new gear conversation I blew over 10 grand on New

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

01:18:41.600 --> 01:18:48.199
able to shoot video realistically at 240

01:18:45.159 --> 01:18:51.520
FPS if we need something extremely

01:18:48.199 --> 01:18:54.040
extremely high speed it can do up to 960

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

01:18:55.679 --> 01:19:03.040
can do with this like all of a sudden we'll be able to empirically evaluate

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

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

01:19:11.920 --> 01:19:17.480
take a video of the LCD monitor and I guess you

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

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

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

01:19:26.920 --> 01:19:32.000
know what you should probably keep the mouse in the shot so you can really see

01:19:30.080 --> 01:19:36.600
that point of contact and we should be able to in

01:19:33.159 --> 01:19:40.400
theory get down to the exact frame at

01:19:36.600 --> 01:19:43.239
960 FPS okay 960 FPS the exact frame

01:19:40.400 --> 01:19:48.440
where we touched the mouse then we can count how many frames until the monitor

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

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

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

01:19:59.000 --> 01:20:05.280
see like how much if we take like ASUS's

01:20:02.199 --> 01:20:07.400
144 Herz CCD and put that next to a CRT

01:20:05.280 --> 01:20:13.280
how much of a difference is there are the CRT die hards missing out by

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

01:20:16.239 --> 01:20:23.360
that's something that's super exciting so my new gear is coming next

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

01:20:24.840 --> 01:20:31.080
this webcam anymore I've got uh new microphone coming I've got a new tripod

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

01:20:32.280 --> 01:20:38.800
and ghostly like this unless I do look pale and ghostly like this in which case

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

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

01:20:43.880 --> 01:20:52.360
very sad thing indeed 247 new interactions okay so we're going

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

01:20:54.360 --> 01:20:59.239
know what but before we do more Q&A let's do the giveaway announcement and

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

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

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

01:21:11.080 --> 01:21:16.480
watching I was I my original plan was to

01:21:14.440 --> 01:21:20.960
have it be so that only someone who was watching could win but I realized you

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

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

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

01:21:32.040 --> 01:21:37.560
wrong um my original idea was that the

01:21:35.719 --> 01:21:42.679
first one to complete the task should win however I made some mistakes in the

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

01:21:47.440 --> 01:21:51.800
format and punctuate the secret phrase

01:21:50.719 --> 01:21:55.960
which they had to jump around to different videos and check out and and

01:21:53.760 --> 01:22:00.800
discover and then unjumble so the secret phrase I had them format I wanted them

01:21:57.960 --> 01:22:07.080
to format it it exactly the way I did unfortunately I formatted it incorrectly

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

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

01:22:15.719 --> 01:22:23.920
also didn't realize when I was creating the challenge was that I finished my

01:22:20.120 --> 01:22:26.920
quest where's the swag would also be a

01:22:23.920 --> 01:22:29.159
correct way way to solve the puzzle so

01:22:26.920 --> 01:22:32.880
instead of taking the first person who replied exactly the way that I had it

01:22:31.199 --> 01:22:37.960
written which took I mean there were over a hundred

01:22:35.440 --> 01:22:42.480
correct sort of correct like not what I had in mind but correct responses where

01:22:39.920 --> 01:22:47.159
they added a question mark or they they switched around theth and the my uh

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

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

01:22:52.920 --> 01:22:58.760
I took all the people that did answer it correctly I dropped them all in Excel

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

01:23:00.560 --> 01:23:07.440
everybody drum roll please Bernard Yip so that's your email

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

01:23:08.800 --> 01:23:15.960
Twitter though so there's some notes here I'm going to go to Twitter after Bernard if you're on Twitter please

01:23:13.880 --> 01:23:18.800
message me or or email me again I can have a look at my email on the other

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

01:23:20.480 --> 01:23:27.840
excited because you are going to be the proud owner of VOR GTX 660

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

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

01:23:32.920 --> 01:23:40.080
Duke Nukem uh the Duke Nukem NVIDIA

01:23:36.440 --> 01:23:42.480
prize which was a GTX 580 I think 480

01:23:40.080 --> 01:23:47.639
something like that 580 uh 3D Vision Monitor and a copy of Duke

01:23:46.040 --> 01:23:55.600
Nukem $500 it cost to ship that to the winner

01:23:52.239 --> 01:23:56.600
$500 unfreaking believable um so anyway

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

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

01:24:02.600 --> 01:24:08.639
accepted any of those answers so with or

01:24:05.880 --> 01:24:12.159
without punctuation um and with theth and the my switched around I did end up

01:24:10.520 --> 01:24:16.960
requiring the period because there were already so many people that did have the

01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:19.360
period in there that um that yeah it it

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

01:24:20.960 --> 01:24:26.920
order to make it more fair especially for people in other time zones I feel

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

01:24:28.600 --> 01:24:33.960
days I might have a longer treasure hunt so that it's more difficult but then

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

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

01:24:40.040 --> 01:24:48.040
beginning I'm sorry that this wasn't better organized and uh yeah so so you

01:24:45.560 --> 01:24:52.679
know hey congratulations to the winner and I don't see an email from him yet

01:24:50.199 --> 01:24:58.480
but um you know hopefully he'll get in touch soon and thank you guys

01:24:55.000 --> 01:25:01.320
so much for participating it's just been

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

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

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

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

01:25:16.679 --> 01:25:25.719
that will like get him kicked out of places that's awful

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

01:25:27.920 --> 01:25:33.360
terrific all right Daniel talk about non-reference graphics cards and fully

01:25:31.960 --> 01:25:37.400
custom liquid cooling what happened to personal x79 build uh Daniel I had an

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

01:25:39.600 --> 01:25:45.040
get it done in this calendar year um talking about non-reference graphics

01:25:43.320 --> 01:25:49.719
cards and fully custom liquid cooling unless you have a manufacturer in mind

01:25:47.560 --> 01:25:53.400
that has already made a water block for your non-reference card if you want to

01:25:51.600 --> 01:25:57.400
water cool your card get a reference card because it's very different

01:25:55.960 --> 01:26:04.920
difficult these days to water cool a video card without a full cover block

01:25:59.719 --> 01:26:06.880
and full cover blocks do not work on non

01:26:04.920 --> 01:26:10.920
compatible cards so it just doesn't work that way

01:26:09.000 --> 01:26:18.960
estaban what would you recommend Gigabyte x79 S5 Wi-Fi or whatever or

01:26:15.000 --> 01:26:22.119
whatever okay or ASRock x79 extreme 9

01:26:18.960 --> 01:26:23.880
x79 S5 that I mean asking me that is

01:26:22.119 --> 01:26:28.199
kind of like asking me what would you recommend the motherboard that you're

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

01:26:29.840 --> 01:26:38.280
motherboard um ASRock is not one of my preferred motherboard

01:26:34.600 --> 01:26:39.520
manufacturers so I I prefer isus MSI and

01:26:38.280 --> 01:26:44.960
Gigabyte so I would definitely go with the Gigabyte option there Marcus if you

01:26:42.000 --> 01:26:48.000
were to build an LG 1155 PC today what motherboard and CPU would you choose you

01:26:46.360 --> 01:26:52.000
know what great question but there's a lot of different answers and I'm going

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

01:26:53.840 --> 01:26:59.000
talking about ITX gaming um if I was

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

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

01:27:04.800 --> 01:27:12.800
ASUS p8 z77 I uh Deluxe okay so that's a

01:27:09.320 --> 01:27:14.400
z77 ITX board um then I'd go with

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

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

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

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

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

01:27:31.040 --> 01:27:37.679
like a portable gaming machine and then I'd throw probably something like a 660

01:27:34.840 --> 01:27:40.800
Ti in there so hey Bernard there's my recommendation for what you should do

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

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

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

01:27:53.320 --> 01:27:58.679
Mini Joel what do you like so much about the

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

01:28:01.520 --> 01:28:08.600
classic doesn't age a tj07 ages like

01:28:05.119 --> 01:28:11.840
like a fine wine or like a a perfectly

01:28:08.600 --> 01:28:14.239
cut steak um it is showing its age in

01:28:11.840 --> 01:28:18.000
terms of features which I can fix I can cut Cable Management holes I can throw

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

01:28:21.920 --> 01:28:28.520
design and I love the unibody shape um I

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

01:28:31.440 --> 01:28:37.520
more water cooling crap than a tj07 I mean maybe a little bit more but when

01:28:35.360 --> 01:28:41.320
you look at the difference in size it's the efficiency of the layout of the

01:28:39.480 --> 01:28:46.639
internals that makes the TGF 7 so appealing you can fit all this water

01:28:43.600 --> 01:28:51.239
cooling crap in there and it's still not

01:28:46.639 --> 01:28:53.639
that big like it's big but it's not that

01:28:51.239 --> 01:28:56.800
big um Ryan is there a sound card you can recommend for a balance between

01:28:54.920 --> 01:29:01.239
gaming and music enj honestly anything from the ASUS line the Zonar line is

01:28:59.000 --> 01:29:04.119
going to be awesome um if you're using headphones get one with a headphone amp

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

01:29:07.600 --> 01:29:14.719
balance between gaming and music enjoyment good sound is good sound I've

01:29:12.400 --> 01:29:19.000
always taken that philosophy about it maybe to the most extreme of audio files

01:29:17.560 --> 01:29:23.400
there will be some difference between a gaming optimized sound card and a music

01:29:21.119 --> 01:29:29.000
optimized sound card but the reality of it is if it

01:29:25.159 --> 01:29:31.440
produces clear sound you know deep bass

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

01:29:33.159 --> 01:29:38.560
it'll be great for movies and it will be great

01:29:36.159 --> 01:29:42.800
for music did I say movies or music whatever all

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

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

01:29:50.560 --> 01:29:57.840
the top tweet I'm going to click it now

01:29:55.560 --> 01:30:05.280
Michael great question Michael this is a fantastic question why do TVs have 240

01:30:02.760 --> 01:30:14.280
HZ plus and not monitors fantastic question Michael TVs are doing this okay

01:30:10.440 --> 01:30:15.239
this is your leg this is them pulling it

01:30:14.280 --> 01:30:22.320
your 960 Hertz or 480 htz clear motion or

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

01:30:27.520 --> 01:30:33.360
that way you are not actually seeing 960

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

01:30:37.239 --> 01:30:44.199
240 image refreshes every second HTMI is

01:30:41.840 --> 01:30:49.159
not even remotely capable of carrying that kind of bandwidth even the new

01:30:45.880 --> 01:30:53.320
revised HTMI is not capable of carrying

01:30:49.159 --> 01:30:54.880
more than 1080p 120 frames per second um

01:30:53.320 --> 01:30:58.840
that's the one with the faster processors on either end and whatever

01:30:56.800 --> 01:31:04.480
1.4a or something like that who cares HDMI sucks but

01:31:01.320 --> 01:31:07.000
um what they're doing is they are not

01:31:04.480 --> 01:31:10.159
just refreshing the image so let's say here's your motion okay so something's

01:31:08.639 --> 01:31:14.960
moving across the screen like this these are your frames okay so instead of just

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

01:31:17.159 --> 01:31:23.280
you the motion in between each of those

01:31:20.480 --> 01:31:29.199
frames they are flickering the backlight and that plays a trick on your eye that

01:31:25.719 --> 01:31:31.880
makes so if they go two flicks and one

01:31:29.199 --> 01:31:36.679
frame two flicks and one frame two flicks one frame it plays a trick with

01:31:34.159 --> 01:31:42.880
your eye that makes the motion look smoother but also has sort of a strange

01:31:40.400 --> 01:31:49.239
effect that makes it look unnaturally smooth to some people so when you see

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

01:31:52.480 --> 01:31:59.639
modulation of the back light not to the

01:31:56.000 --> 01:32:01.280
refresh rate of the actual LCD panel so

01:31:59.639 --> 01:32:06.159
that's a really important clarification that's why there were so many 120 HZ TVs

01:32:03.960 --> 01:32:10.520
out there that people were talking about or they wanted to buy or they were even

01:32:07.639 --> 01:32:13.920
mistakenly buying with the intention of running 3D Vision or something with

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

01:32:18.639 --> 01:32:24.639
HZ TV was only a 60 HZ panel it wasn't

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

01:32:27.280 --> 01:32:32.639
3D glasses so fantastic question and uh

01:32:30.920 --> 01:32:36.960
thank you very much for asking it thank you guys so much for participating those

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

01:32:38.760 --> 01:32:44.639
here is probably already subscribed Line Tech tips uh I I think if you're not

01:32:43.360 --> 01:32:47.960
already following on Twitter make sure you follow I know that I'm not able to

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

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

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

01:33:00.400 --> 01:33:05.920
chance you'll get through and what I really need is like four operators like

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

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

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

01:33:19.360 --> 01:33:27.080
and here's to 200,000 more and thank you guys for being with me every step of the

01:33:23.040 --> 01:33:27.080
way and good night
