this is an exciting time to be a PC Hardware Enthusiast ryzen is right
around the corner Vega is on the way and we are here right now at the NVIDIA GTX
1080 TI launch NVIDIA claims this is the biggest improvement from a TI series
launch ever and that makes sense as the 1080 and the 1080ti have almost nothing
in common at all they aren't based on the same GPU they aren't running the
same memory bus width I mean the ti even has two power connectors to The Standard
1080s 1 this is an exciting but probably really expensive of day let's run
through all of the things that we know about NVIDIA's new
flagship the new master keys prom RGB
and pro s white from Cooler Master are coming soon check out their current
lineup at the link below first off let's dive into the specs as you might have
expected this card is a lot closer to the Titan XP than it is to a standard
GTX 10 80 but even then it's not that close it has the same gp102 core and it
shows the same amount of Cuda cores at 3584 the same 12 billion transistors and
224 texture units with the same TDP of
250 WTS but then the clock speed is
slightly higher at 1600 MHz for Boost
and there are a few less RS at 88 instead of 96 there are also changes in
terms of IO NVIDIA removed the DVI
connector and replaced it with nothing nothing that's right folks NVIDIA has
abandoned DVI and left the user with three display ports and one HDMI port
for your convenience they have included a DisplayPort to DVI adapter in the Box
however so you've got that going for you which is nice but moving on regardless
we've got the memory setup which is also a little bit odd you've got 11 gigs of
gddr5x vram running at 11 GBS per second
they've accomplished this through Channel optimization Equalization
techniques and having minimal noise noise but that my friends is not the
whole story for memory they've also implemented tiled caching which should
improve cach locality and reduce memory traffic overall by better utilizing
their L2 cache then there's the new thermal design with Vapor chamber
Cooling and 2x the cooling area as I'm
assuming the 1080 as they didn't actually specify this is not the same
cooler as the Titan XP and they promise increased performance over that as well
the Benchmark that they gave us put a 1080 running at higher than normal TDP
and well above the standard max temperature spec NVIDIA usually sets
against a 1080 TI that was running below its TDP and again at a higher than
normal temperature so I guess we'll wait till we get it back in the office to
really judge it there they also have a new 7-phase power delivery setup which
is all dual fets which should help it be more power efficient than all other
Pascal cards in their lineup then it got juicy they showed us performance numbers
and they were pretty damn impressive compared to a 1080 they're claiming that it's about 35% % faster when compared to
other 1080 launches like 900 series and 700 series they were 25 and 18
respectively also just as a note Founders edition cards will be the first
ones available directly from NVIDIA and they will be priced right at MSRP they
also announced a bunch of stuff on the software side of things but most of it
is for developers like shadowplay and anel having their own public sdks so
that developers can Implement them into their games at will and something called
NVIDIA aftermath that gives game developers the ability to classify GPU
crash es by location and type if the user has elected to upload those files
then there is my personal favorite FCAT VR which is related to standard FCAT but
obviously tuned for VR it has runtime
frames rendered frames and software capture indicators in three different
locations on the screen then you just open the CSV files that it outputs in
their FCAT data analyzer and you've got a relatively easy to use and accurate
way to Benchmark VR which is awesome because we have not had that until
now Squarespace because you need to build a website and you really want 24/7
live chat and email support and you want to pay like somewhere around 12 bucks a
month and you want to buy it for a year and when you buy it for a year you want
to get a free domain included you want it to look fine on everything someone's
going to view the website on a watch a tablet a phone a console a desktop
whatever you want to be able to sell things through your website you want to
have the potential to have One Singular page that just looks wonderful all the
time and you want to be able to publish your Apple news format stuff directly to
Squarespace through their included module well you can do all of that go to
squarespace.com and use offer code LTT to get 10% off of your first purchase
because you also wanted a discount and then they flat refus to
tell us the MSRP or when the card would be released so we have to watch the live
stream just like you guys do to get that information and then once I have that
information we will finish up this video in terms of filming we will import it
all to the computer edit it render it and upload it to YouTube
