00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:07.000
well the 980 TI and Titan X from NVIDIA might be super exciting cards the cards

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:11.840
that are really flying off shelves aren't usually they those top tier Bank

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:15.719
breaking Beast Machines they're the more reasonable workhorses just like with

00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:19.119
cars people like to look at the top end for what they want and then trickle down

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:23.039
from there for what they can actually realistically afford but let's take a

00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:27.039
moment to leave that sports car on the lot and take a spin in the Sedan like

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:38.680
this video if you want to see scrapyard Wars 3

00:00:38.680 --> 00:00:45.320
the master case 5 by Cooler Master gives you the freedom to truly make your mid

Tower PC case your own with a variety of modular parts and accessories click now

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:57.120
to learn more as far as raw tech specs go the GTX 950 is rocking

00:00:53.399 --> 00:01:00.120
768 Cuda cores with a base clock of 1024

00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:02.719
and a boost clock of 1188 on the memory

00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:09.119
side of things that has 2 gigs of gddr5 running at 6.6 gbits per second on a

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:11.640
128bit wide memory interface it also

00:01:09.119 --> 00:01:16.640
supports four displays and two-way SLI NVIDIA is lining up the performance of

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:19.640
this product with their previous GTX 760

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.880
and all of that was probably pretty

00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:25.920
expected what was really cool with the launch of this was that NVIDIA brought

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:30.200
to the table a whole bunch of software options first up in terms of those

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:33.759
software options we have latency in has built some stuff into GeForce experience

00:01:32.360 --> 00:01:38.399
that will automatically improve the latency in mobile games and by a pretty

00:01:36.399 --> 00:01:43.399
considerable amount in their testing they marked the input latency of a GTX

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:48.399
650 in Dota 2 to be about 80 milliseconds and the input latency of a

00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:51.360
950 to be only 45 milliseconds a pretty

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:56.000
massive Improvement of 35 milliseconds they do this by reducing the number of

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:59.920
pre-rendered frames from two to just one so that they no longer have to buffer

00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:03.640
multiple frames which made a fairly significant amount of input latency

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.520
after that the changes become a little bit more basic and focus around game

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:11.800
settings like setting it to full screen instead of just borderless mode which

00:02:09.720 --> 00:02:15.440
while it's helpful for compatibility can hurt your input latency numbers so you

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:20.800
can optimize your mobile game for optimal refresh rate frame rate latency

00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:25.959
and image quality in one click pretty slick but for those of you on higher end

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:30.239
NVIDIA GPU you may be wondering where the heck your latency enhancing button

00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:34.680
is well NVIDIA is only launching this Improvement for 950 owners at first but

00:02:32.519 --> 00:02:39.519
never fear it will be coming at a later date next up we have stream but I'll get

00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:43.440
to what exactly stream is in a moment with the stream update Shadow play has

00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:47.879
gotten easier to use now when you're in game if you hold alt and then press a

00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:51.680
zed a handy in-game menu will pop up with your Shadow play options and they

00:02:49.959 --> 00:02:58.840
even now allow you to trim and upload your videos directly to YouTube at up to

00:02:53.879 --> 00:03:00.879
4K resolution at 60 FPS badass also in

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:05.000
the previously mentioned altz menu you may have noticed the new stream button

00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:09.000
this allows you to either just stream your gameplay directly to a friend to

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:13.080
show off that fancy new title that your buddy didn't have the cash for but wants

00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:16.840
to see and whatnot or show them how to beat a certain encounter in a certain

00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:21.200
game or even play with them with gamestream Co-op Co-op supports mirrored

00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:24.760
controls and integrated voice chat so you can coach someone on how to play a

00:03:22.799 --> 00:03:28.920
game and share the controls with them at the same time or play games that

00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:34.159
actually support co-op mode like say Trine 3 NVIDIA recommends an up and

00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:38.959
downstream of around 7 megabits per second for both the host and the guest

00:03:36.040 --> 00:03:43.959
PCS respectively now finally benchmarking and performance here with

00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:48.760
me today I have not one but two badass graphics cards one from isus and one

00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:52.920
from EVGA Let's Get The Showdown started the ASUS 950 stxs is $10 cheaper on

00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:58.360
Amazon at $170 and features a stock memory setup

00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:02.680
with an advertised boost clock speed of 1355 although that doesn't really mean

00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:06.599
much if you're wondering why that doesn't mean much check out this video

00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:12.920
here where I investigate the inner workings of the mysterious GPU boost the

00:04:10.040 --> 00:04:18.160
STX features dual DVI out DisplayPort and HDMI on the back and is kind of a

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:22.400
compact design with a smaller heat sink and smaller fans than the EVGA card

00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:27.600
we'll see in a moment it also features six pin power and a nice flat matte

00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:33.360
black PCB on the back of the card the EVGA 950 for the wi card is a little

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:36.840
longer and $10 more expensive on Amazon at

00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:40.560
$180 still featuring a stock memory setup but with an improved advertised

00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:47.160
clock speed of 1405 for Io it has triple DisplayPort

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:49.560
HDMI and DVI it features an 8 Pin power

00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:54.360
instead of six pin power has a nice Wicked looking back plate and a much

00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:59.039
beefier cooler performance-wise it was rather unsurprising in terms of results

00:04:56.440 --> 00:05:03.639
not bad mind you just unsurprising unfortunately I don't have an R9 380 to

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:07.479
test against uh that would have been a fairly interesting comparison at only

00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:11.919
$20 more but I think you guys will get the gist of it anyways the performance

00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:17.639
difference between the two 950s wasn't huge but in my opinion probably worth

00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:22.520
the $10 Delta to be fair though there's something to be said about the compact

00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:24.120
size of the ASUS stxs card a lot of

00:05:22.520 --> 00:05:28.759
people are building small systems these days and may not be looking for longer

00:05:25.880 --> 00:05:35.759
cards just something to keep in mind in terms of raw GPU boost performance the

00:05:31.479 --> 00:05:38.000
ASUS strix 950 got a boost clock of 1430

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:42.280
MHz solid more than their advertise number that's cool the EVGA for the win

00:05:40.440 --> 00:05:48.000
950 got 1,493 however for the same GPU having a

00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:52.199
Delta of 63 MHz is actually fairly significant and pretty interesting in

00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:57.160
conclusion I was happy to see NVIDIA drop some really cool new software tech

00:05:54.479 --> 00:06:00.680
for both performance and raw features both system Builders and mid-tier gaming

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:05.680
rig buyers have a new variable to consider which is always a good thing

00:06:02.479 --> 00:06:08.680
more options is good and it's a pretty

00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:11.759
solid card at that awesome show great

00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:14.280
job and on that subject massdrop.com

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:17.360
which is based around the concept of group buys where people would get

00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:21.599
together and they'd like a bunch of people on a forum or whatever would be like yeah what if we all bought this

00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:25.520
thing do you think the manufacturer would give us a deal turns out that's a

00:06:23.599 --> 00:06:29.400
thing but it was hard to stay organized and you had to trust your money to one

00:06:27.479 --> 00:06:32.840
person in the group who from time to time would run off with it cuz this is

00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:37.919
people on the internet well now we have an organized trustworthy place to do

00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:40.759
that massdrop.com so right now they're

00:06:37.919 --> 00:06:45.960
featuring a drop on the Sennheiser hd7 DJs that feature a 270 Dee swiveling ear

00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:49.360
cup so you can go ahead and get that out of the way of your ear DJ style if you

00:06:47.880 --> 00:06:55.960
want to hear what's going on around you or let's say for example you have a baby that you're supposed to hear when he or

00:06:53.199 --> 00:07:00.840
she is crying or whatever else and that drop is already down to 43% off the

00:06:59.039 --> 00:07:05.759
retail price if you guys want to check it out all you got to do is head over to

00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:07.960
draw do/ Linus techtips and you can sign

00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:12.479
up for the drop Mass drop negotiates deals directly with the manufacturer or

00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:15.879
an authorized distributor to ensure that you guys are getting not only a great

00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:19.199
deal but genuine merchandise they're good guys so get signed up for the site

00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:23.919
and start browsing because they have a lot more than just headsets and

00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:28.479
headphones they got things like knives and keyboards and all kinds of cool

00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:31.919
things thanks for watching guys if this video sucked you know what to to do but

contribution through the Forum now if you're done doing all that kind of stuff

00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:51.680
you're probably wondering what to watch next so as I can see it behind Brandon

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:57.960
there you should check out the video on the mineral oil cooled computer we built

00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.960
right here actually
