1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,839
many things have been changing in the world of multiple graphics cards but the

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:10,960
pursuit of higher and smoother frame rates is not one of them if you thought

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:16,279
the performance of 1 1080 on its own was pretty insane this may actually admit

4
00:00:13,639 --> 00:00:21,840
you the cards we will be featuring for this performance testing will be dual

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,660
EVGA GTX 1080 superclocked edition cards

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:31,119
hell yeah

7
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:37,120
Intel skull Canyon knock features a sixth generation core i7 processor and

8
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:40,320
Thunderbolt 3 learn more at the link in the video description let's start off

9
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:44,120
with the cards shall we the cooler design is identical to the 1070

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:50,520
superclocked that we checked out from EVGA not that long ago check out that

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:53,039
video up here I'm not personally a fan

12
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:57,840
of the overabundance of massive text logos but others in the office are

13
00:00:55,559 --> 00:01:02,719
totally a fan and as it's an aesthetic thing you're free to pick your poison I

14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:06,760
will admit that outside of the logos I really like the overall style and would

15
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:11,520
say that it suits modern computer components as a whole quite well if

16
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:16,880
you're going for a cohesive component design specs wise it features a stock 5+

17
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:23,560
one powerphase design a single 8 Pin power connector 217 watts of max power

18
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,880
draw and a boost clock of 1847 MHz which

19
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:29,479
surpasses the founders edition's clock speed of

20
00:01:27,479 --> 00:01:34,759
1733 in terms of connectivity it features a a single HDMI 2.0 connector

21
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:41,360
three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors for 4K at 120 HZ or 8K at 60 HZ and a dual link

22
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:45,719
DVID connector but enough of that put down thine simple specs and release The

23
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:51,320
Benchmark results in all their lustrous Glory okay okay whoa there calm calm

24
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,560
down uh when linked together by the annoyingly expensive but rather

25
00:01:52,960 --> 00:02:01,439
attractive EVGA high bandwidth SLI Bridge with all of its RGB LED Glory the

26
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:05,000
results are rather fantastic oh and by the way you can turn off the lights on

27
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,679
the little thing by just moving the switch just between two of the colors

28
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,520
and leaving it there it just kind of doesn't shine at that point the direct

29
00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:17,400
X11 performance in Tomb Raider and Crisis 3 scaled rather well considering

30
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:21,519
the intensity of our settings putting everything above the highest available

31
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:28,280
preset when possible and running everything at 4K yes you can run really

32
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,280
intensely hard to run games at 4K with

33
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:36,360
Max settings and Achieve High higher than 60 FPS on average that happened

34
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:41,200
hell yeah I'm so jacked up right now but there are issues with this as you

35
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:45,599
probably expected so before I get too excited we have to remember that this is

36
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:51,440
a multiple GPU config that we're talking about and it will inherently have issues

37
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:56,760
like in Hitman where it barely scaled at all and created massive frame rate drops

38
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:00,400
and stutters there's an unofficial fix through NVIDIA inspector but it's

39
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:04,920
definitely not perfect perfect either and has a number of its own issues then

40
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:10,640
there was running directx12 benchmarks which just didn't scale because well

41
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:14,519
they couldn't the whole abstraction layer that is required from Microsoft

42
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:19,480
before all that fancy new stuff I mentioned in this WTF is going on with

43
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:23,519
SLI video which you should really go watch totally isn't ready as of making

44
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:28,519
this video anyways uh another really

45
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:33,640
interesting tidbit has to do with the aformentioned SLI Bridge what if you

46
00:03:31,239 --> 00:03:37,760
don't want to buy an expensive SLI bridge and want to use one of the old

47
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:42,439
original solid Bridges or even the ribbon cable Bridges well we do have

48
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:47,840
this infographic but are there any actual performance differences Yes

49
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:52,360
actually and in exactly the order you would expect which is rather satisfying

50
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:57,239
the ribbon cable performs the worst the old solid bridge is slightly better and

51
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:03,360
the new fancy high bandwidth Bridge wins hrah and by a noticeable amount my I add

52
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:05,439
an exactly 2fps Delta is nothing to

53
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:09,599
scoff at it may not be worth the price to you but it's something to consider as

54
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,840
you may find it offers an aesthetic Improvement as well moving on we have

55
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:18,919
the power draw and even with two damn cards running in Crisis 3 the whole

56
00:04:16,359 --> 00:04:24,240
bench only pulled 437 Watts from the wall while the first card ran at 81° and

57
00:04:21,799 --> 00:04:28,720
the second card ran at 73° which is pretty cool and to be fair though that

58
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:33,960
was on an open test PCH impressive overall today we're highlighting the

59
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:36,120
k7xx black headphones of course from

60
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:39,680
Mast drop it still has a bunch of other cool products which you can check out on

61
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:45,280
the link in the video description and hopefully you guys already know about Mast drop they're the company where a

62
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:49,360
bunch of people buy something all at once which makes the price go down the

63
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:53,080
more and more people commit to buying it the ones we're showcasing in this video

64
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:57,160
are the same as the ones that L reviewed last year and you can check out that

65
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:00,360
full review up in the video up here do remember that this is a limited drop so

66
00:04:58,919 --> 00:05:05,479
if you want to pair you're going to have to act pretty fast these headphones have

67
00:05:02,919 --> 00:05:10,120
large cushiony ear cups a flat wire voice coil ver motion two-layer

68
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:14,759
diaphragm genuine leather headband memory foam ear pads and vure covering

69
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:21,600
they have a 2-year warranty covered by mast drop and you can order them outside of the US but a $25 fee will be assessed

70
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,240
for all International orders so if you want to check them out and grab a pair

71
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,800
head over to the link in the video description down below all right guys thanks for watching if you like the

72
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:32,840
video like it if you dislike the video disliked it don't forget to get

73
00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:36,720
subscribed or check out the link to the where to buy the stuff we featured in

74
00:05:34,919 --> 00:05:40,440
this video like these wonderful graphics cards on Amazon in the video description

75
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:44,720
also linked in the description is our merch store which has cool shirts and to

76
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,319
our community Forum which you should totally join so you can discuss stuff

77
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,280
like SLI problems that you will inevitably have if you have multiple

78
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:56,680
cards or the awesome performance in like the two games that you can actually get

79
00:05:54,039 --> 00:06:00,240
it working in anyways check out this video I mentioned it earlier in the

80
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:06,720
video but it's the WT f is going on with SLI thing really interesting subject and

81
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,720
I suggest you check it out
