00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.839
many things have been changing in the world of multiple graphics cards but the

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:10.960
pursuit of higher and smoother frame rates is not one of them if you thought

00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:16.279
the performance of 1 1080 on its own was pretty insane this may actually admit

00:00:13.639 --> 00:00:21.840
you the cards we will be featuring for this performance testing will be dual

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:24.660
EVGA GTX 1080 superclocked edition cards

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:31.119
hell yeah

00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:37.120
Intel skull Canyon knock features a sixth generation core i7 processor and

00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:40.320
Thunderbolt 3 learn more at the link in the video description let's start off

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:44.120
with the cards shall we the cooler design is identical to the 1070

00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:50.520
superclocked that we checked out from EVGA not that long ago check out that

00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:53.039
video up here I'm not personally a fan

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:57.840
of the overabundance of massive text logos but others in the office are

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

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:06.760
will admit that outside of the logos I really like the overall style and would

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:11.520
say that it suits modern computer components as a whole quite well if

00:01:09.119 --> 00:01:16.880
you're going for a cohesive component design specs wise it features a stock 5+

00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:23.560
one powerphase design a single 8 Pin power connector 217 watts of max power

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:25.880
draw and a boost clock of 1847 MHz which

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:29.479
surpasses the founders edition's clock speed of

00:01:27.479 --> 00:01:34.759
1733 in terms of connectivity it features a a single HDMI 2.0 connector

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

00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:45.719
DVID connector but enough of that put down thine simple specs and release The

00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:51.320
Benchmark results in all their lustrous Glory okay okay whoa there calm calm

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.560
down uh when linked together by the annoyingly expensive but rather

00:01:52.960 --> 00:02:01.439
attractive EVGA high bandwidth SLI Bridge with all of its RGB LED Glory the

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:05.000
results are rather fantastic oh and by the way you can turn off the lights on

00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:08.679
the little thing by just moving the switch just between two of the colors

00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:12.520
and leaving it there it just kind of doesn't shine at that point the direct

00:02:10.679 --> 00:02:17.400
X11 performance in Tomb Raider and Crisis 3 scaled rather well considering

00:02:15.160 --> 00:02:21.519
the intensity of our settings putting everything above the highest available

00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:28.280
preset when possible and running everything at 4K yes you can run really

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:30.280
intensely hard to run games at 4K with

00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:36.360
Max settings and Achieve High higher than 60 FPS on average that happened

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

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:45.599
probably expected so before I get too excited we have to remember that this is

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:51.440
a multiple GPU config that we're talking about and it will inherently have issues

00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:56.760
like in Hitman where it barely scaled at all and created massive frame rate drops

00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:00.400
and stutters there's an unofficial fix through NVIDIA inspector but it's

00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:04.920
definitely not perfect perfect either and has a number of its own issues then

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:10.640
there was running directx12 benchmarks which just didn't scale because well

00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:14.519
they couldn't the whole abstraction layer that is required from Microsoft

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.480
before all that fancy new stuff I mentioned in this WTF is going on with

00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:23.519
SLI video which you should really go watch totally isn't ready as of making

00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:28.519
this video anyways uh another really

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:33.640
interesting tidbit has to do with the aformentioned SLI Bridge what if you

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

00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:42.439
original solid Bridges or even the ribbon cable Bridges well we do have

00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:47.840
this infographic but are there any actual performance differences Yes

00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:52.360
actually and in exactly the order you would expect which is rather satisfying

00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:57.239
the ribbon cable performs the worst the old solid bridge is slightly better and

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:03.360
the new fancy high bandwidth Bridge wins hrah and by a noticeable amount my I add

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:05.439
an exactly 2fps Delta is nothing to

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

00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:13.840
you may find it offers an aesthetic Improvement as well moving on we have

00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:18.919
the power draw and even with two damn cards running in Crisis 3 the whole

00:04:16.359 --> 00:04:24.240
bench only pulled 437 Watts from the wall while the first card ran at 81° and

00:04:21.799 --> 00:04:28.720
the second card ran at 73° which is pretty cool and to be fair though that

00:04:26.440 --> 00:04:33.960
was on an open test PCH impressive overall today we're highlighting the

00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:36.120
k7xx black headphones of course from

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

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

00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:49.360
bunch of people buy something all at once which makes the price go down the

00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:53.080
more and more people commit to buying it the ones we're showcasing in this video

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

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

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

00:05:02.919 --> 00:05:10.120
large cushiony ear cups a flat wire voice coil ver motion two-layer

00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:14.759
diaphragm genuine leather headband memory foam ear pads and vure covering

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

00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:24.240
for all International orders so if you want to check them out and grab a pair

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

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:32.840
video like it if you dislike the video disliked it don't forget to get

00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:36.720
subscribed or check out the link to the where to buy the stuff we featured in

00:05:34.919 --> 00:05:40.440
this video like these wonderful graphics cards on Amazon in the video description

00:05:39.080 --> 00:05:44.720
also linked in the description is our merch store which has cool shirts and to

00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:48.319
our community Forum which you should totally join so you can discuss stuff

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:52.280
like SLI problems that you will inevitably have if you have multiple

00:05:49.919 --> 00:05:56.680
cards or the awesome performance in like the two games that you can actually get

00:05:54.039 --> 00:06:00.240
it working in anyways check out this video I mentioned it earlier in the

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

00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:06.720
I suggest you check it out
