WEBVTT

00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:06.000
here we are at the XFX Booth this is going to be the start of our second

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:10.719
round of Booth showcases they have a whole bunch of really cool stuff on demo

00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:15.559
including like this funky music so XFX is best known for their

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:19.600
video cards they made a little bit of a Switcheroo a couple Generations ago

00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:23.359
where they used to do GeForce cards where now they're focused entirely on

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:28.119
Radeon cards so they have brought their years of experience designing and

00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:32.960
Manufacturing graphics cards as well as the sweet coolers that go with sorry

00:00:30.599 --> 00:00:37.440
slick says it's a little low to over to the radon side so they have an immense

00:00:35.559 --> 00:00:42.680
variety of different cards including reference cards cards with non-reference

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:46.600
coolers overclocked version of their cards so if you're going to go with a

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:50.960
graphics card for the radi on side actually is hard to make a better choice

00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:55.199
than XFX because not only do they build the cards incredibly well they have one

00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:59.000
of the best warranties In The Biz as well which isn't to say that graphics

00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:02.879
cards are the only things that they do this I don't know if you guys have seen

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:06.840
this episode on my NC Tech tips Channel but I actually showcased this guy right

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:11.560
here this is their triple monitor stand which is capable of mounting up to three

00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:17.360
24-in monitors either in landscape or portrait mode for the just most Balls to

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:22.119
the walls Affinity setup that you can get without spending a fortune on a

00:01:19.880 --> 00:01:27.000
custom solution like the Samsung MDT series last but not least we have a

00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:31.159
fairly new addition to XFX is lineup so this is their Pro Series power supplies

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:36.680
they actually have power supplies ranging from 80 plus bronze all the way

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:41.280
up to their limited edition 1,000 W 80 plus Platinum 1,000 watt and if you guys

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:44.840
are following my personal rig upgrades on my lineus tech tips Channel you'll

00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:48.759
probably already know that I'm actually custom sleeving one of those with

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:52.439
individually sleeved cables and that is what I've opted to use for a couple of

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:56.880
reasons number one is that it has the best efficiency on the market and number

00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:00.200
two is their hybrid silent fan switch all you got to do is flip that switch in

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:05.320
your fan on your power supply doesn't even turn on until you hit about 500 WS

00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:09.920
load which means it's 100% silent unless you're in like a Max load gaming

00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:13.319
scenario we're here at the a booth where they have a variety of different

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:18.319
professional types of products so check this out these are designed to basically

00:02:15.519 --> 00:02:22.280
clip to a shirt pocket or to the inside of a notebook or even like on your pants

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:27.200
pocket you can see I'm sporting one right now these are meant to replace

00:02:24.920 --> 00:02:31.239
your long bulky cables that have the potential to you know get broken or lost

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:36.840
more easily these you can clip somewhere keep them safe they're 100% durable and

00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:38.319
they're not long so that's uh that's a

00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:41.599
dummy that's a dummy so that's not going to fit in there at all but that's not

00:02:40.239 --> 00:02:45.360
really the point the point is that it will fit in a real one and then there's

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:51.560
also a variety of other things so you've got usba a to mini as well as usba to

00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:56.360
micro b we've also got a couple other products so this is their notebook stand

00:02:53.560 --> 00:03:02.640
which is made out of highlight highlight thank you which folds up like this and

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:02.640
then you can and reassemble

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:08.400
it like that bam and finally last but

00:03:06.519 --> 00:03:12.080
not least they've got a line of iPad cases that actually uses a composite

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.319
aluminum on the back so it feels like you're actually still holding an iPad

00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:21.120
and they're compatible with the Smart Cover so you just clip your smart cover on here and then you are pretty much

00:03:18.799 --> 00:03:24.400
completely protected as far as your iPad goes we also have one more product here

00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:29.959
Port charging station aha portable charging station so this actually sits

00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:31.720
here it PLS into here this activates a

00:03:29.959 --> 00:03:37.879
hub you can charge up at three devices at one time has 15 WS of power enables

00:03:34.760 --> 00:03:40.879
charging of iPad iPhone Blackberry or

00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:42.519
any other Bluetooth uh headset anything

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:46.959
that's USB charge enabl awesome there you go and you keep that in a handy little carrying pouch here so that you

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:50.319
don't lose anything if you're traveling you're on a roll all the time you just

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:53.480
have one thing to plug into the wall all your cables right here and you're ready

00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:58.319
to build good stuff here we are at the MSI Booth where

00:03:55.920 --> 00:04:02.079
the main focus is military class 3 so the military class 3 con

00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:06.439
basically revolves around using the highest quality most stable possible

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:10.760
components to design their cards and their motherboards

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:14.599
so military class 3 doesn't actually refer to some of their other Concepts

00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:17.680
such as hey this doesn't balance unless you have a graphics card on it there we

00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:21.759
go such as their twin frozer three coolers so right here we have their GTX

00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:25.120
580 although they do have next Generation products coming with their

00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:30.360
custom coolers so the advantage of a twin frozer cooler is that rather than a

00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:35.919
reference design which will ually load around 75 to 80° twin frozer coolers can

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:41.280
keep even high-end graphics cards at around 55° under loow so while you do

00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:45.000
have a little bit more exhaustive heat in your system you get significantly

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:48.880
better temperatures on your graphics card which is great if you're going to

00:04:47.039 --> 00:04:52.560
overclock your video card on the motherboard side MSI has a full lineup

00:04:50.960 --> 00:04:59.199
of products including everything from basic d41 LGA 775 Legacy stuff all the

00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:07.120
way up to the very latest LGA 2011 and LGA a 1155 motherboard platform so they

00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:08.960
aha c77 motherboard is actually the main

00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:13.120
focus of the booth here today and it's a feature called OC Genie now I've demoed

00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:17.120
OC genie on my channels before but I'm going to summarize it really quick for

00:05:14.520 --> 00:05:21.280
you OC Genie actually overclocks and tunes your whole system for Optimal

00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:26.560
Performance with the push of one button and what's really neat about the new OC

00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:30.600
gen on z77 is the fact that you can customize your OC gen profile so say for

00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:35.600
example example if you were a system builder like NC you could design a

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:39.280
system to nooc gen to be even more aggressive on that particular system you

00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:42.639
give it to the end user and you say hey you want to overclock your system to the

00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:45.960
max just press this button and it's already all completely set up for you

00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:50.880
you want to turn off the overclock you want to save a little bit on the power consumption whatever else press the

00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:55.840
button turn it off no big deal so we've got their z77a gd65 which in my

00:05:54.080 --> 00:06:00.720
experience is actually one of the easiest z77 boards to work with in terms

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:05.880
of overclocking and in terms of BIOS navigation with their click BIOS

00:06:02.919 --> 00:06:10.639
2o welcome to the ocz technology Booth you can see they got their ocz logo

00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:15.919
going on here so ocz used to be mostly known for memory products they are now

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:18.560
no longer involved in system memory

00:06:15.919 --> 00:06:22.400
however they have gotten into ssds in a big way so this was actually my

00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:28.080
suggestion yeah I'm going to take full credit for it see I'm getting like the stink eye over there but it was totally

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:30.599
my idea my suggestion was that in order

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:34.280
to demo the value of an SS D they bring two identical systems and we're not even

00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:38.080
talking high performance systems I mean these are Dells what the it's not a

00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:42.000
custom NCI PC by any stretch of the imagination no matter what kind of a PC

00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:46.560
you're using whether it's a netbook or an extreme gaming machine you will see a

00:06:44.039 --> 00:06:50.360
huge benefit from an SSD now you can do the usual boot up demo but I think we've

00:06:48.840 --> 00:06:56.319
all seen that before what I want to focus on is the general responsiveness

00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:01.440
of a system using an SSD so you guys at this time don't know which of these

00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:05.080
systems has a regular laptop hard drive and which of them has an SSD but I bet

00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:09.759
you know now look how long it takes to launch Windows Media Player versus this

00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:14.120
one bear in mind guys too these are fresh installs on these machines with

00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:17.199
nothing running in the background okay that one was pretty close let's go find

00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:21.520
something else that hasn't been opened before Oh Windows Media Center that's a

00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:26.560
good one the more you load up these machines with various applications and

00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:31.680
Antivirus running in the background and all that kind of nonsense the more

00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:35.319
pronounced this difference is going to become and I'm going to have to find a

00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:39.879
way to keep talking here while we wait for this hard drive machine to finally

00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:43.319
launch Windows Media Center these are two brand new machines I have not

00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:47.319
tampered with them in any way we're not even talking Photoshop we're not talking

00:07:45.479 --> 00:07:51.240
complicated applications Windows Media Center takes like five times longer to

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:55.560
launch on a hard drive than it does on an SSD so if you guys didn't already

00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:59.479
know yes this is the one with the ocz Vertex 4 and if you do happen to attend

00:07:57.599 --> 00:08:03.879
the show you can get one for only1 $77.99 this is the highest performing

00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:07.840
SSD on the market it is pretty much right up there tied for that performance

00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:12.280
Crown right now and at this price it is the best performance per dollar per gig

00:08:10.039 --> 00:08:16.680
that you can buy welcome to the PS Vita Booth here at the ncx tech fair this is

00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:23.360
actually my first time hands on with the PS VA so it uses a 960x 544 screen that

00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:28.919
is almost 1080p so it's pretty darn close this is their full replacement for

00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:32.919
the PSP so it is their latest generation handheld game platform and I got to say

00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:37.120
even launch titles look absolutely fantastic it has dual analog sticks

00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:40.360
which means that you can you can play your games the way you're accustomed to

00:08:38.880 --> 00:08:44.159
whether it's movement with the left and camera with the right or whether the

00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:46.880
game devb screws up and doesn't do it that way you will be able to operate

00:08:45.959 --> 00:08:52.120
your games the way that you're accustomed you've also got a d-pad as well as your full Playstation controls

00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:58.560
and based on how complete the control set is on here I wouldn't be that surprised if uh Sony decided to you know

00:08:56.640 --> 00:09:02.200
make PS1 games or something available on an arcade in the past cuz I can tell you

00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:07.160
these Graphics are more comparable to PS2 than uh than to PS1 that's for sure

00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:11.360
in terms of the overall build quality it's got a nice uh nice overall feel to

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:15.160
it without being too heavy you've got l&r buttons here so you don't have quite

00:09:13.800 --> 00:09:19.320
as many shoulder buttons as you might be used to on a Sony product however this

00:09:17.040 --> 00:09:23.800
is pretty cool it has a touchpad on the back which the game devs are free to use

00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:29.200
in any way they want so you can program it to be like R2 R3 L2 L3 for example in

00:09:27.560 --> 00:09:32.640
soccer you can aim where you want to do a free kick at the goal according to

00:09:31.079 --> 00:09:36.480
where you press on the back pad so there's all kinds of neat stuff like that let's just have a look have one of

00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:41.160
the other launch titles where they've got one of the golf games going on here

00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:47.200
so let's press X to take the shot yeah yeah okay apparently I didn't take the

00:09:44.560 --> 00:09:50.920
shot oh okay I'm taking that shot there we go sorry I'm not much of a console

00:09:49.040 --> 00:09:55.680
guy here guys I get confused easily oh it's right in the water excellent so

00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.839
that pretty much wraps up this round two of Ender boots don't forget to check us

00:09:57.160 --> 00:10:03.279
out at the NC Tech fair and don't forget to subscribe to lus and NCI ex Tech tips
