00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:16,440
all right so welcome to alius Tech tips blog video All About

2
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,880
surround gaming performance and shotguns

3
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:23,359
and shotguns and how they don't kill dudes like are you serious I'm half

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:28,279
expecting him to get up at this point get up get up no you won't get up okay

5
00:00:26,599 --> 00:00:33,559
that's fine that's cool so I'm not going to spend too much time on gameplay this

6
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:35,879
is GTX 660ti from Galaxy and we are

7
00:00:33,559 --> 00:00:39,920
going to go ahead and show you guys some performance numbers so we tested a

8
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:46,879
cross-section of games here's our surround perf uh cross-section of the Excel chart

9
00:00:45,559 --> 00:00:51,840
it's not really a cross-section anymore what happened to the graph Luke did I

10
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:55,800
call you Luke you better start over so let's start with crisis 2 crisis 2 this

11
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,719
is running Ultra presets so totally unrealistic for these cards if we turn

12
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:04,280
it down to very high it runs at more like 35 40 FP s on the 660ti but it does

13
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:08,040
give us an idea of how these cards perform against each other so you can

14
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:12,759
see the 660ti does leg a little bit behind the 670 which performs pretty

15
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:18,320
much neck and neck with the 7950 since the 7950 and the 670 are both a little

16
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:23,079
bit more expensive than the 660 Ti all of this pretty much stands to reason so

17
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:29,240
we're going to go ahead and create new charts and graphs in real time so

18
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:34,600
amazing you guys are seeing a real Tech tip here so this is Battlefield

19
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:38,759
3 Battlefield

20
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:43,320
3 and we have to add the data label every time because for some reason you

21
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:47,000
know someone should do like Excel tips for lonus about how to make it so I

22
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:52,200
don't have to redo that every time so 660ti once again maybe it's due to the

23
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:56,000
fact that the 7950 has 3 gigs of memory maybe it's due to the fact that it's

24
00:01:53,680 --> 00:02:01,320
just not quite as fast as the 7950 for pushing huge resolutions um which could

25
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:05,840
be related to memory bandwidth again comes probably back to memory but the

26
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:11,360
670 manages to keep Pace with the 7950 while the 660ti legs behind a little bit

27
00:02:08,679 --> 00:02:15,480
it should however be noted that 660ti if you can get a model that over volts is

28
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,920
actually a reasonably good overclocker and you can expect to get up to those

29
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:24,920
670 levels of performance without any difficulty so

30
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:30,599
Skyrim yay Skyrim now we just have to add our data

31
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:33,720
label again and you can see once again

32
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:36,160
the 660ti does lag behind Skyrim really

33
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:41,920
benefits from something to do with the 7950 and it is definitely the big winner

34
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:46,239
in terms of surround gaming however it should be noted that it's not

35
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:50,879
necessarily all about surround gaming there are other things in this world um

36
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:57,200
such as the fact that you can enable stereo 3D should you see fit on the

37
00:02:53,440 --> 00:03:01,840
NVIDIA cards whereas honestly with the

38
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,840
um hd3d is not uh

39
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:08,200
is not quite there compared to 3D Vision

40
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:15,120
uh these are very high presets I recall correctly all right Witcher 2 add data

41
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:19,720
labels and for some reason our label okay hold on SEC guys for whatever

42
00:03:17,799 --> 00:03:24,720
reason we couldn't get Witcher 2 to run at all on the Radeon card and uh this

43
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:28,640
could have been just a random driver issue we are using the latest drivers

44
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:33,920
but there was just nothing we could do about it and short of adding different

45
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:37,599
cards to our comparison there wasn't a whole lot we could do to bring you

46
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:43,319
results from the radon side so we ended up having to stick with that our last

47
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:46,000
one very demanding game Metro

48
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:51,080
2033 and this is on I think I think they call it very high uh so we didn't have a

49
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:55,560
depth of field on but other than that pretty much cranked and you can see in

50
00:03:54,239 --> 00:03:59,760
this guy I'm just going to make my adjustments here you can see in this guy

51
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:05,400
the 660ti once again legs behind the 7 9950 a little bit but the 670 does

52
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:13,239
pretty well so what's the conclusion here conclusion is 660 Ti is fantastic

53
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:18,040
and actually performs incredibly well for single monitor gaming if you guys

54
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,560
saw the 1080p performance review that I already did then you'll know that

55
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:27,280
already it performs pretty much right up there with the 7950 however when we get

56
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:31,560
into very high resolution surround gaming scenarios the 7950 Str stretches

57
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:38,360
its legs a little bit with its extra memory bandwidth its extra memory at all

58
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:41,600
and that is personally what I think is is making the difference here so thank
