00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:06.879
this video is brought to you by our trusted Graphics partner

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:12.639
NVIDIA welcome to another lonus tech tips video this video was intended to be

00:00:09.639 --> 00:00:14.839
part of our GeForce GTX Titan coverage

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

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:22.960
more on that in a moment this is the fastest single GPU graphics card in the

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

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:30.920
platform pairing for the Titan GPU but

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

00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:38.320
cross-section of games from our test PL from our test Suite where we went okay

00:00:36.879 --> 00:00:43.559
well let's actually just look at a bunch of different platforms so we took our

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:48.520
x79 platform here so this is with a 3960x at 4 GHz which is probably a

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

00:00:50.440 --> 00:01:01.199
so four dims running in Quad Channel then we took our um FX or 990 FX

00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:02.920
platform with an 8350 at 4.6 gz this one

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:08.080
runs with just 8 gigs so these are running so everything's running with um

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:14.320
all channels populated with one dim okay so this one's running with 8 gigs in

00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:17.360
dual Channel then we grabbed a

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:19.520
3770k with 8 gigs of memory okay and

00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:22.960
that one's clocked at 4.4 GHz we're going for overclocks here remember all

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:26.079
of our stuff's overclocked the Titan's overclocked everything's overclocked

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:31.119
we're going for overclocks that we believe are going to be attainable for

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:34.280
95 to 98 % of the people who own this Hardware so you guys have a realistic

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

00:01:38.119 --> 00:01:45.159
older platform just to represent anyone running a Bloomfield or Lindfield CPU so

00:01:43.479 --> 00:01:50.560
this is an 875k and we ran that one with 8 gigs of

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

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

00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:01.880
different platforms and ran our entire game test Suite with the Titan now we

00:01:59.039 --> 00:02:08.000
are planning to rerun um a slightly different test 3570k versus

00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:11.319
8350 and just those two CPUs with a more

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.800
realistic GPU like a 660 Ti and then uh

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

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:19.400
anyway for the Titan launch so we figured let's take a bunch of platforms

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

00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:26.080
games and here is our first game so um

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

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

00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:42.120
8350 actually beats the 3570k but we haven't tested that yet because Crisis 3

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

00:02:44.239 --> 00:02:50.720
that the 3960x has lower instructions per clock than a

00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:55.319
3770k in spite of the fact that it's actually clocked 10% lower it performs

00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:58.760
equally and we can only attribute that to the fact that it has two more

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:03.799
physical cores and two more virtual cores the 87 75k also performs quite

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:07.760
well in this game keeping up with the 8350 and we can attribute that to the

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:12.879
fact that it has hyperthreading so the 3770k beats out the

00:03:10.040 --> 00:03:17.360
8350 but that might only be because of hyperthreading and I'm really excited to

00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:23.200
check out the 3570 which is quad core no hyperthreading against AMD's 8 core FX

00:03:20.519 --> 00:03:28.319
Flagship moving along to Far Cry 3 Far Cry 3 seems to really benefit from

00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:30.840
single-threaded performance so the 3770k

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:37.319
at 4.4 GHz cleans up here beating out the 3960x the 8350 and the significantly

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:41.400
older now 875k which is starting to really show its age in terms of gaming

00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:45.840
performance in this particular game now our Skyrim is running with 18 different

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

00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:55.599
see more separation than you would if you're running at stock this one seems

00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:58.439
to benefit from mostly just having well

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

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

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:11.120
875k so this one is not optimized for multiple cores you need higher

00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:16.560
instructions per clock and that's what we get on the 3770k and

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:20.680
3960x Battlefield 3 at the ultra presets now Battlefield 3 is regarded as one of

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:24.759
those games that does benefit from multi-threading but it doesn't seem to

00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:28.479
favor the AMD platform so all of our hyperthreading enabled processors as

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:33.840
well as our faster hyperthreading enabled processors so our 3770k and our

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:37.680
3960x uh performs significantly better in Battlefield 3 than the 8350 however

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

00:04:39.880 --> 00:04:45.039
have to let slick know before he makes graphs like this next time that this

00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:49.240
should start at zero so the difference in performance between these processors

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

00:04:51.960 --> 00:04:58.479
before but apparently fix that he'll fix it before

00:04:56.280 --> 00:05:01.840
we uh you can download all these graphs from the link in the video description

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

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:12.400
the uh in the in the download there Metro 2033 the 3960x this is kind of

00:05:10.039 --> 00:05:16.479
bizarre it just tanks in this one and we're not really sure why that happened

00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:22.639
but this game didn't like this platform that much the 3770k cleans up the 8350

00:05:20.039 --> 00:05:26.039
shows its shows its strength so Metro 33 does seem to benefit from the additional

00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:29.720
cores but then it doesn't benefit from the additional cor so it might just be

00:05:27.400 --> 00:05:34.000
an AMD architectural thing that this game likes but

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

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:41.759
everything performing actually pretty closely so AMD brings up the rear but

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:46.840
even that it's only about 10% slower than the flagship 3960x from Intel and

00:05:44.520 --> 00:05:50.600
the 3770k which is the fastest Ivy Bridge processor right now and that's

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

00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:01.360
see why we actually sort of ran it hope

00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:04.160
hopefully it was interesting thanks for checking out this video on lineus Tech
