1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:09,480
I was feeling really tired earlier today. Then I had this Razer Respawn gum, and

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,880
wow, I feel so just so up and at it now.

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:17,400
So basically, what we're doing here today is

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:20,240
AMD has released a 3D model of their new

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:24,880
RDNA Big Navi GPU into Fortnite.

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:28,480
So, in order to have the best possible look at it, we're going to be using an

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,560
RTX 2080. So, let's do it.

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:35,360
The best part about this is that you get to just find out how bad I am at

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:39,160
Fortnite. I played it like a tiny bit when it was new a couple uh

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:42,080
years ago. And I was really bad, and I didn't have

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,200
fun. Do you guys know anything about Fortnite?

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,880
No. He's getting headshakes.

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,160
Okay, okay, you guys can't see what I'm doing here, can you? No.

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:57,760
I have literally no clue what's going on. I'm like in a store right now.

15
00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:03,720
The how I just want to go back. Custom options. Oh, figured out. Did it.

16
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:07,800
Okay, yep, who's still got it? This guy right here. Um

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:12,200
got uh this tweet right here from Radeon.

18
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,200
86519841639.

19
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:21,120
Boom. Wait, I entered that, but now what do I do?

20
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,760
Can't use custom matchmaking for this Oh jeez.

21
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:29,080
All right, found the only person that's in the office right now that knows how to use Fortnite. So, you want to make a

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:33,480
creative like a new map, or do you want to like just open up I want to just open

23
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,880
up one. Um Pretty sure you're just supposed to

24
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:42,240
click this, and then you can do it while you're in. Just edit edit button.

25
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,680
Okay. Edit button. Use

26
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:50,120
uh building edit G.

27
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:54,800
Unable to edit building. Huh. What if you try plugging in a

28
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,800
controller and seeing what happens?

29
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:01,200
Yes. There you go. Sweet! Code. There you go.

30
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,840
Thank you so much. You're welcome, man.

31
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:10,200
Think I figured it all out. So,

32
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:13,840
Too mad did some voodoo, not totally sure what,

33
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:18,000
but then it involved plugging in a controller, which I guess

34
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:21,960
is an odd glitch that sometimes you're able to interact with these things with

35
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,560
a mouse and keyboard. Makes sense. I would have figured that one out on my

36
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:29,160
own, for sure. And now we are in right here. It's a big

37
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:33,520
AMD-looking lobby. And

38
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:36,640
AMD Radeon 6000 series.

39
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,760

44
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:59,360
Maybe I should get one. I've been just using the, you know, belt sanders.

45
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:05,160
There we go. We are on top of the new

46
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:09,120
Radeon RX 6000.

47
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:11,840
That's 6900, I'm guessing. 6800, one of

48
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:15,320
the two. So, apparently, this GPU, according to just rumors, this is kind

49
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:20,720
of pure speculation, is going to have 80 compute units, which

50
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:25,440
translates to 5120 shaders.

51
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:28,120
For some context, the RTX 3070 is going

52
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:32,360
to have 5888. So, this

53
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,520
likely will be slightly less powerful

54
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:40,320
than that. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. So, one of the biggest reason

55
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:43,880
that I think this GPU might be fantastic

56
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,720
is that NVIDIA's current cards are very

57
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,680
aggressively priced and very fast, according to what they've

58
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,640
said. We haven't actually seen the numbers yet, but or I haven't seen the

59
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:57,120
numbers. People in this office have, but I personally haven't. But given that

60
00:03:54,440 --> 00:04:01,320
NVIDIA's, you know, delivering that much value,

61
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:05,840
one can only speculate that AMD is also, you know, kicking some butt. Cuz

62
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:09,760
otherwise, like why would they do that? Now, it also might just be that instead

63
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:14,400
of these GPUs being what NVIDIA's worried about, it could just be people

64
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:20,600
going for the consoles. Now, what we can actually see here is not a whole lot.

65
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,840
I'm on a massive PCI Express

66
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:26,560
riser. I'm going to say it's safe to assume

67
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:33,360
this is not to scale. If I just jump off the side here, will I go back to the

68
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,360
start? Oh my god, I just swam.

69
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,960
Well, there's the underside of the graphics card. So, what we can see is it

70
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:44,200
looks like a pretty, you know, standard placement. It looks like the PCB is

71
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:48,560
going to run for the whole length of the card.

72
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:51,760
And pretty standard like base amount and for the cooler.

73
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:57,920
So, it should be pretty easy for people like EK, AlphaCool, whoever,

74
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:02,880
to, you know, fix up water blocks for this. Wow, I'm kind of flying with

75
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,000
control now. Oh, we can look at the IO.

76
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:09,640
So, what do we have here? We have an HDMI, presumably 2.1. Is that the new

77
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:14,240
hotness, or is it 2.2? It's 2.1. 2.1. So, that's presumably 2.1.

78
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,840
We also have two display ports and one of the VR ports.

79
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:23,760
That looks about it, but at the same time, that's kind of what you'd expect. I'm surprised it's not perforated up

80
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:27,200
here to allow kind of like air to come out of it. Although, it is a pretty

81
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,720
beefy cooler. And how beefy is the power supply going

82
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,760
to have to be? All right, here we have two eight-pins.

83
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:39,080
So, it's going to be pretty power-hungry,

84
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:44,560
but not insanely so. Like, we're not talking about like 3090 levels of bonker

85
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:49,400
towns. And pretty standard like, you know,

86
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:52,600
triple-fan card layout. I wouldn't expect anything too too crazy from

87
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:58,280
layout like this. Unfortunately, you can't see how many heat pipes there are. That's kind of like the amount of fans

88
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:02,400
on a lot of things like this matters a lot less than just the thickness and the

89
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,560
number of heat pipes. I guess that's kind of how you really know what's up. I

90
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:10,560
wonder what these are. Uh I have no clue what these little pins

91
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:15,760
are for. Maybe just debugging. I I could be

92
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:18,000
totally wrong. It says Radeon.

93
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:22,600
I hope that it glows in the final one. It's not glowing right now.

94
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:27,520
Fans look very standard. We've got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 fins.

95
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:32,280
My plan was to look at how many fins this GPU has, but then I remember it's

96
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,200
water-cooled, so rip. Yeah, that's

97
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:37,160
that's about it. That's kind of all you can see.

98
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,040
So, I guess what other rumors do we have about this thing?

99
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:44,640
One thing that is interesting is that this is quite a beefy cooler, and

100
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:50,120
there's quite a bit of power. And it's rumored that RDNA 2 {slash} Big Navi is

101
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:54,600
going to have 50% more performance per watt. So, hopefully, AMD is doing the

102
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:59,440
same sort of thing as NVIDIA, where they're not being like "Oh, we got, you

103
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:02,680
know, this extra power budget because we made our processor more efficient."

104
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:08,520
Whereas, instead, it's going to be much more like "We got this more power budget, so we

105
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,360
can feed it some more power, right?" And then everybody's like, "Yes." And

106
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,920
then you get more frames, and it's just as hot, and your room becomes a sauna

107
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:20,480
after 20 minutes of gaming. It's too bad that we can't see any of the PCB or heat

108
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,720
plates at all. It's just a black square. I guess that we are just kind of feeding

109
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:29,960
into the hype like if you're thinking about NVIDIA RTX 3000 right now,

110
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,920
maybe just hold off. See how well AMD does. That's definitely what they want

111
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:37,800
me to say right now. For me personally, this right here looks

112
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:42,280
like it's going to be a pretty banging card,

113
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:45,840
but if the drivers don't work, who cares?

114
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:49,280
That's kind of like my biggest if in all of this.

115
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:53,760
Like, we kind of saw what they did last time, and it was like what, 3 months of

116
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:57,320
black screening? The good news is, though,

117
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:01,240
that this same architecture is going to be going to the Xbox Series 1 and the

118
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,680
PS5. They're going to be working with like, you know, all of the big game

119
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:09,200
developers to make their games run really well on this hardware in the

120
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:14,360
consoles. So, one would think that, you know, you just

121
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:19,560
take more of that hardware and put it in a PC, and hopefully, it will work pretty

122
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,920
good. Maybe. We'll see. Either way, we don't have like a time frame of when

123
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,720
this will be coming out. Wait. They announce when they're announcing it.

124
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:33,440
When's the announcement date of the announcement? October 8th, 2020

125
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:36,960
is when AMD will be announcing

126
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:39,240
the announcement time, I think.

127
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:44,120
Beautiful. Oh my god.

128
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:47,920
It's magnificent. What happened? Some guy just joined the

129
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:52,360
server and is just I think he needs a change of pants after

130
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:57,520
looking at this. Well, I'm excited. Mark's excited. He's a Mac user. Oh. Oh,

131
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:05,360
yeah. This will be great for anyone that's on Apple. You might be able to have like

132
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,480
a GPU now, or like just a GPU that like

133
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,400
is good. I don't know how high my hopes are,

134
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,840
but they're a lot higher than they were before NVIDIA's announcement, so that's

135
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:19,960
a plus. Um anyway, I hope that you guys have a great day. I don't know. Get on

136
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:23,960
the Big Navi hype train. And just, I don't know, go on AMD subreddit and be

137
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,600
like, "Wow." Be like the guy on the surfboard here,

138
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:32,880
being like, "It's beautiful." Anyway, have a just have a great day. I'll I'll

139
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,880
talk to you later.
