00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:16.440
all right so welcome to alius Tech tips blog video All About

00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:18.880
surround gaming performance and shotguns

00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:23.359
and shotguns and how they don't kill dudes like are you serious I'm half

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

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

00:00:29.720 --> 00:00:35.879
is GTX 660ti from Galaxy and we are

00:00:33.559 --> 00:00:39.920
going to go ahead and show you guys some performance numbers so we tested a

00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:46.879
cross-section of games here's our surround perf uh cross-section of the Excel chart

00:00:45.559 --> 00:00:51.840
it's not really a cross-section anymore what happened to the graph Luke did I

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

00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:58.719
is running Ultra presets so totally unrealistic for these cards if we turn

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

00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:08.040
give us an idea of how these cards perform against each other so you can

00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:12.759
see the 660ti does leg a little bit behind the 670 which performs pretty

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

00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:23.079
bit more expensive than the 660 Ti all of this pretty much stands to reason so

00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:29.240
we're going to go ahead and create new charts and graphs in real time so

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:34.600
amazing you guys are seeing a real Tech tip here so this is Battlefield

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:38.759
3 Battlefield

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:43.320
3 and we have to add the data label every time because for some reason you

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:47.000
know someone should do like Excel tips for lonus about how to make it so I

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

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

00:01:53.680 --> 00:02:01.320
just not quite as fast as the 7950 for pushing huge resolutions um which could

00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:05.840
be related to memory bandwidth again comes probably back to memory but the

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:11.360
670 manages to keep Pace with the 7950 while the 660ti legs behind a little bit

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

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:19.920
actually a reasonably good overclocker and you can expect to get up to those

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:24.920
670 levels of performance without any difficulty so

00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:30.599
Skyrim yay Skyrim now we just have to add our data

00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:33.720
label again and you can see once again

00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:36.160
the 660ti does lag behind Skyrim really

00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:41.920
benefits from something to do with the 7950 and it is definitely the big winner

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:46.239
in terms of surround gaming however it should be noted that it's not

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:50.879
necessarily all about surround gaming there are other things in this world um

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:57.200
such as the fact that you can enable stereo 3D should you see fit on the

00:02:53.440 --> 00:03:01.840
NVIDIA cards whereas honestly with the

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:01.840
um hd3d is not uh

00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:08.200
is not quite there compared to 3D Vision

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:15.120
uh these are very high presets I recall correctly all right Witcher 2 add data

00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:19.720
labels and for some reason our label okay hold on SEC guys for whatever

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

00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:28.640
could have been just a random driver issue we are using the latest drivers

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:33.920
but there was just nothing we could do about it and short of adding different

00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:37.599
cards to our comparison there wasn't a whole lot we could do to bring you

00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:43.319
results from the radon side so we ended up having to stick with that our last

00:03:39.480 --> 00:03:46.000
one very demanding game Metro

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

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:55.560
depth of field on but other than that pretty much cranked and you can see in

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

00:03:57.480 --> 00:04:05.400
the 660ti once again legs behind the 7 9950 a little bit but the 670 does

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:13.239
pretty well so what's the conclusion here conclusion is 660 Ti is fantastic

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:18.040
and actually performs incredibly well for single monitor gaming if you guys

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:21.560
saw the 1080p performance review that I already did then you'll know that

00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:27.280
already it performs pretty much right up there with the 7950 however when we get

00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:31.560
into very high resolution surround gaming scenarios the 7950 Str stretches

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:38.360
its legs a little bit with its extra memory bandwidth its extra memory at all

00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:41.600
and that is personally what I think is is making the difference here so thank
