00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,879
this video is brought to you by our trusted Graphics partner

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:12,639
NVIDIA welcome to another lonus tech tips video this video was intended to be

3
00:00:09,639 --> 00:00:14,839
part of our GeForce GTX Titan coverage

4
00:00:12,639 --> 00:00:18,720
so here's our Titan GPU on our test bench or well one of our test benches

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,960
more on that in a moment this is the fastest single GPU graphics card in the

6
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:28,840
world and it was intended to be kind of like what's the best uh the best

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:30,920
platform pairing for the Titan GPU but

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:34,960
we went a little bit beyond that and took it to be more of a uh a

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:38,320
cross-section of games from our test PL from our test Suite where we went okay

10
00:00:36,879 --> 00:00:43,559
well let's actually just look at a bunch of different platforms so we took our

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:48,520
x79 platform here so this is with a 3960x at 4 GHz which is probably a

12
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:52,719
little bit conservative for that one um and then we ran that with 16 gigs of RAM

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:01:01,199
so four dims running in Quad Channel then we took our um FX or 990 FX

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,920
platform with an 8350 at 4.6 gz this one

15
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:08,080
runs with just 8 gigs so these are running so everything's running with um

16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:14,320
all channels populated with one dim okay so this one's running with 8 gigs in

17
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:17,360
dual Channel then we grabbed a

18
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:19,520
3770k with 8 gigs of memory okay and

19
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,960
that one's clocked at 4.4 GHz we're going for overclocks here remember all

20
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,079
of our stuff's overclocked the Titan's overclocked everything's overclocked

21
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:31,119
we're going for overclocks that we believe are going to be attainable for

22
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:34,280
95 to 98 % of the people who own this Hardware so you guys have a realistic

23
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:40,720
idea of what you can expect so this one's at 4.4 GHz then we grabbed an

24
00:01:38,119 --> 00:01:45,159
older platform just to represent anyone running a Bloomfield or Lindfield CPU so

25
00:01:43,479 --> 00:01:50,560
this is an 875k and we ran that one with 8 gigs of

26
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:53,320
RAM at what was it 3.8 or something like that I don't remember what we ran it at

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,079
but it's on our graphs so don't worry too much about it so we took four

28
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:01,880
different platforms and ran our entire game test Suite with the Titan now we

29
00:01:59,039 --> 00:02:08,000
are planning to rerun um a slightly different test 3570k versus

30
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:11,319
8350 and just those two CPUs with a more

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,800
realistic GPU like a 660 Ti and then uh

32
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:16,000
but that'll be a separate video so this is more like we were doing this work

33
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,400
anyway for the Titan launch so we figured let's take a bunch of platforms

34
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:24,959
let's see which one game's the best this is running 1080p for all the different

35
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,080
games and here is our first game so um

36
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:32,519
actually we don't have to stare at the screen because we can overlay these graphs but the 3960x takes the top of

37
00:02:30,519 --> 00:02:37,360
the charts in Crisis 3 and this makes sense now what we've heard is that the

38
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:42,120
8350 actually beats the 3570k but we haven't tested that yet because Crisis 3

39
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:46,840
seems to really benefit from multi-or and we do see that in spite of the fact

40
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:50,720
that the 3960x has lower instructions per clock than a

41
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:55,319
3770k in spite of the fact that it's actually clocked 10% lower it performs

42
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:58,760
equally and we can only attribute that to the fact that it has two more

43
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:03,799
physical cores and two more virtual cores the 87 75k also performs quite

44
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:07,760
well in this game keeping up with the 8350 and we can attribute that to the

45
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,879
fact that it has hyperthreading so the 3770k beats out the

46
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:17,360
8350 but that might only be because of hyperthreading and I'm really excited to

47
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:23,200
check out the 3570 which is quad core no hyperthreading against AMD's 8 core FX

48
00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:28,319
Flagship moving along to Far Cry 3 Far Cry 3 seems to really benefit from

49
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:30,840
single-threaded performance so the 3770k

50
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:37,319
at 4.4 GHz cleans up here beating out the 3960x the 8350 and the significantly

51
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:41,400
older now 875k which is starting to really show its age in terms of gaming

52
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:45,840
performance in this particular game now our Skyrim is running with 18 different

53
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:49,760
mods from the Steam Workshop so it's not really a stock Skyrim so you're going to

54
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:55,599
see more separation than you would if you're running at stock this one seems

55
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:58,439
to benefit from mostly just having well

56
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:02,799
uh High clock speeds and doesn't get much of a benefit at all from the8 cores

57
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:08,040
of the 8350 which you can see performs about the same as a much older quad core

58
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,120
875k so this one is not optimized for multiple cores you need higher

59
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:16,560
instructions per clock and that's what we get on the 3770k and

60
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:20,680
3960x Battlefield 3 at the ultra presets now Battlefield 3 is regarded as one of

61
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:24,759
those games that does benefit from multi-threading but it doesn't seem to

62
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:28,479
favor the AMD platform so all of our hyperthreading enabled processors as

63
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:33,840
well as our faster hyperthreading enabled processors so our 3770k and our

64
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:37,680
3960x uh performs significantly better in Battlefield 3 than the 8350 however

65
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,520
it should be noted that the scale on this graph is a little bit funny so I'll

66
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:45,039
have to let slick know before he makes graphs like this next time that this

67
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:49,240
should start at zero so the difference in performance between these processors

68
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:52,919
isn't actually as dramatic as it looks it's it's okay he says he fixed it

69
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:58,479
before but apparently fix that he'll fix it before

70
00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:01,840
we uh you can download all these graphs from the link in the video description

71
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:06,320
and he'll fix it before uploading it so you guys will see the correct version in

72
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:12,400
the uh in the in the download there Metro 2033 the 3960x this is kind of

73
00:05:10,039 --> 00:05:16,479
bizarre it just tanks in this one and we're not really sure why that happened

74
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:22,639
but this game didn't like this platform that much the 3770k cleans up the 8350

75
00:05:20,039 --> 00:05:26,039
shows its shows its strength so Metro 33 does seem to benefit from the additional

76
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,720
cores but then it doesn't benefit from the additional cor so it might just be

77
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:34,000
an AMD architectural thing that this game likes but

78
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:37,680
uh yeah that's pretty much all we have to say about that and then Witcher 2 has

79
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,759
everything performing actually pretty closely so AMD brings up the rear but

80
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:46,840
even that it's only about 10% slower than the flagship 3960x from Intel and

81
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:50,600
the 3770k which is the fastest Ivy Bridge processor right now and that's

82
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:59,639
pretty much the end of the slideshow so hopefully this has been somewhat enlightening and you guys uh can sort of

83
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:01,360
see why we actually sort of ran it hope

84
00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:04,160
hopefully it was interesting thanks for checking out this video on lineus Tech
