that they're impossible to find or maybe you're from the future and gpus are everywhere you could pick them up off the ground but you don't know which one to pick well we're going to help you narrow down your decision by unboxing three different 80s today and then we're going to drag race them with the help of JN from Labs let's start with the MSI Vanguard this is the launch edition the tape is of our own doing the launch edition comes with um some extra goodies like a massive box the one that you'll get in the non- launch edition is uh much more normal and the reason the box is so big is because it comes with a lucky mystery box so we'll see which kind of model we get later there's nine different types and one secret type we also get a card that says welcome on board and an adapter cool we get this MSI anti- sag stand you kind of screw it and then you can set the height of your GPU so that it doesn't sag because it looks like it's going to be freaking huge good Lord look at the size of this thing it's 14.1 in long and 5.9 in tall uh and it's about to looks like a four slot maybe three and a half saw GPU but really that just means it's four slots this is so big we'll see if this size is going to translate into better thermals and quieter operation it likely will especially when you consider that the PCB ends here here and the rest of this is just flow through cooler in terms of looks I like it it's got some cool carbon fiber as well as some kind of like angular action-y kind of stuff like this like the curvature of a fan is kind of accentuated I think it does look pretty cool it is also just so so big we'll talk a bit more about specs and features when we get the rest of them unboxed our next one is the zotek amp extreme Infinity 5080 to gaming and Beyond we got documentation oh and we're right to the card uh it seems that it also comes with a anti-ag bracket we also have an RGB adapter along with a power adapter let's take a look at the oh that's heavy or maybe it's just dense I don't know I feel like the MSI one was probably heavy but it's was much bigger this seems more reasonably sized this is 13.1 by 5.4 and also looks like a triple slot a little bit more than that so it is quite a bit more compact than the MSI I think this actually looks much classier this is very nice looking I think that the color scheme of the kind of gold and uh gunmetal gray looks pretty cool um it is a dense heat sink the PCB is definitely I feel like it's longer but you still get an amp a decent amount of flow through and apparently this is an infinity mirror the only other thing of note really is that the power connector on this is upside down compared to the usual implementation with the sense pins on the top uh there's a little button for their oneclick OC dual BIOS thing and then here's where the RGB plugs in I would say not the most ideal place to have your RGB cable come out because it's going to be facing directly towards everyone else it would have been nice if they could have put it on like this corner or something like that I you know maybe make like a ribbon cable that runs across it h it is what it is but you know what this is It's the colorful iame Ultra W which means white and I think is a cool looking card uh this is the most traditional packaging of any of them was a awful Noise We got some kind of digitized spray paint type looking stuff then inside we get quick materials a white sleeved power connector which is nice though I will say that the color matching on the cables is a little bit less than ideal this is really looking like hockey tape compared to the more pure whites of the rest of the Plastics the GPU however looks pretty cool a pretty dazzling uh almost uh chromatic effect to it there's kind of these reflective bits of text on this plastic see-through shroud now you might think because of what the box looks like that this would have some sort of lighting behind it it turns out it uh doesn't that's the picture's just kind of a lie which is kind of a bummer it's 13x 5.5 in and it is a triple slot and maybe a little bit card on the back you know kind of disappointing that we have this metal here you won't really see it in your build but if you were going for all white and youd have like a white PCIe cover it would be nice to have this kind of match outside of that this is probably the most compact of the three cards we've looked at and definitely the most spunky they call it a hipop aesthetic John calls it Sakura graffiti which is honestly better branding than what they've come up with it's got a button for Turbo and normal to switch between the Dual bioses cool well I guess that the last thing we have to do is get them running and the second last thing we have to do is tell you about our sponsor thanks to Lee and Lee for sponsoring this video your high performance system deserves an equally High performing AI cooler and lean Le's Galahad 2 light comes in 360 and 240 mm variants making it a great choice for builds of various form factors it's got fan speeds of up to 2500 RPM and a compact yet powerful and quiet pump that'll keep things running cool even under heavy loads check out both the RGB and non-RGB options today using our Link in the description each of these cards are OC models and so they all come with varying different boost clocks the Boost clock of the MSI is 2745 5 but you can only get that clock speed when you are using their MSI Center app you still get the highest clocks of any of them without it at 2730 um so but oh those 15 MHz will make a real difference I'm sure the zot tag is 2670 MHz and the colorful ey game has a boost clock of 2655 MHz the colorful one despite having the lowest clocks has the highest power rating at 380 Watts the other two cards are at 360 Watts which is the same as a Founders Edition card not really sure why okay cyberp Punk's done let's see how we did and it looks like the best performer was the Zotac at 156 FPS average the MSI came in second at 154 FPS and the colorful came in at 153 interesting that the highest clocked one didn't win but they're all basically performed the same you'll expect a little bit of variance on the test probably about 2 to 3 FPS so effectively they're all the same um normally we run the same game multiple times then average it so there good chance that we'd probably end up with the same number for all of them well let's try it at 4K and see if that makes a difference yeah cyberpunk 4K 3 2 1 go it's time for RGB evaluation the MSI I think this looks pretty nice it'll probably look really good in a case when it's more diffuse this uh little plastic glowy thing looks cheap it looks like something you'd get on teu the Zotac light bar simple looks good I wish the diffusion was a little bit smoother here you can kind of see the individual LEDs but let's take a look at the infinity mirror it looks cool you're never going to see it I guess if you have like a fish tank kind of PC like a 01 Dynamic you would be able to see the uh front of it it would be cooler to have it on the side I think but still my favorite looking card of the bunch and at the colorful ey game Ultra while I really do wish there was some sort of RGB on the face of the card on the side you do get this cool iame Ultra kind of text that is uh pretty nice though is this like GeForce RTX placement mandatory it's not maybe it is because I think that this is a really unfortunate placement for it cuz it's blocking the like RGB pattern maybe it's not their fault maybe NVIDIA is forcing them to do it that's why co4 oh my that's a good one Andy let's look at the results in 4k and it is even closer than it was in 1440p so 72.6 on the colorful 72.7 on the zotek and MSI at 71.9 to ooh again these are just average FPS 1% lows are probably a little bit more important this doesn't give us a 1% low it does give us a minimum which is the worst at perform this one gets 59.3 2 59.3 4 58.4 4 they're the same GPU and guess what what they're basically the same as the founders Edition too really yeah if you look here on the lt2 lab site our 580 Founders Edition did 58 and 73 so basically the same now granted this is with probably an older version of the game or older driver so but so it's one FPS you could get potenti for free well or for the price of whatever these are maybe we'll see a bigger difference in a different game for our next test we are doing returnal at 4K with epic rate tracing 3 2 1 go while we're waiting for returnal to run we're going to open our lucky and see what we got John says he wants the Shanghai lucky I want the Boba lucky or the mystery lucky cuz I want to know what it is we got Hollywood lucky wow let's look at the results 77 77 77 if there was a question as to like whether any of these different models have an appreciable performance Delta out of the box not really the main thing that you're going to be considering when you're buying one of these gpus is the features like do you like the way it looks do you enjoy having the uh extra dual biosis do you enjoy the software that it comes packaged in MSI has a far more robust software suite than zotek or colorful but maybe you want something that's more lightweight other things to consider are just the size of them MSI is huge whereas the zotek is and the colorful are far more reasonable even though they are also still large however there's one more consideration that we need to take into account and that's thermals we did some thermal testing in advance and we just tested them as they were out of the box which meant that the MSI was in a silent BIOS the Zotac was in its OC BIOS and the colorful was in its default BIOS so performance could vary we also didn't adjust fan Prof FS or anything like that either and in F1 we saw the Zotac pulling an average of 66° C with a Max of 67° C the colorful 62° C and 64° C and the MSI was at an average of 62 and Max of 65 this is still well below the 80° limit before they start Cards start downclocking Johnny I don't know if you agree but they're not loud no the the fan that you're actually hearing right now is actually just the noct to a fans thermally it seems that all of these cards do a pretty dang good job of keeping the card cool I do want to see how annoying they get if we crank the fans up though so let's Tinker this is the sound of the zotte it's not that bad I have a 7900 XTX it's a obviously a much smaller card it's only a two slot card but the fans at full speed are way whinier than this and I'd say that this is like obviously quite loud not pleasant but by default they'll never run like this and uh um I've just heard worse let's see what the colorful sounds like it's got the most whoosh it sounds the most like white noise though I think it's probably the most Pleasant of all of them there is a slight high-pitched resonance like a it's like it's like but mostly it's just a whoosh noise which is actually pretty Pleasant and finally the MSI card it is I think quieter than the Zotac and perhaps overall a little bit lower of a pitch I don't know if it comes through but there is kind of this like very high-pitched whistling that's like that's happening that you don't hear when it's running slower it's really subtle you might not even notice it uh in a case or something like that definitely the Zotac is the loudest I will say the Zotac is the worst sounding and the loudest which is a bit of a bummer cuz it looks so dang classy but also you probably don't need to run your fans at 100% ever on a cooler this big your mileage may vary so they're all essentially the same mhm so how do you you choose a card I'd say probably Aesthetics and cost over anything on top of watching media reviews you should also look up owner reviews because there's some things that we just can't test like how is this card going to be after six seven months of the fans running all the time how expensive are these current pricing is still pretty gnarly the MSI comes in at $1,440 and the zot comes in at $1450 so $10 more both of those prices are really gnarly considering that this was supposed to be a $1,000 car give or take the aib tax the colorful however is not available in North America and depending on the region you're buying it in it can be anywhere from $1,200 to $1,700 that is insane so I think I agree with you I would probably pick the zotek as well mainly cuz I am a sucker for Aesthetics uh if I could get that for 1,200 I would deal with it the way it looks that was a lot to get through and if you want more GPU reviews to help determine which one you should buy you can go check out lot lots of reviews on the LTT laabs website LTT Labs.com these ones will be coming soon there they're not up yet but keep an eye out thanks for watching ShortCircuit this is the first time we've done a video in this kind of format so let us know in the comments if you liked it and if you did like it and
