1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,960
miniature but high performance graphics cards have been around for a while but

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:12,440
earlier models compromised performance for their petite size not to mention

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:19,160
that they really really ran hot it wasn't until the gtx970 minis in late

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:21,119
2014 and the Epic Radeon R9 Nano the

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:27,279
following year that these pint siiz pixel pushers became viable options for

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,800
really high performance mini computers

7
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:35,360
you can see our reviews of these cards by looking up here but what I have for

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:38,559
you today is an entirely new Beast Zotac

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:42,160
offering for 2017 is the world smallest

10
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:45,160
GTX 1080 but how does it perform and who

11
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:47,199
or what is it even for Zotac doesn't

12
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:52,920
really seem to know they they say it fits in 99% of cases then show things

13
00:00:50,199 --> 00:00:57,600
ranging from what looks like a mid Tower up to Giant server cabinets then Show an

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:02,640
example of it installed in a case that could have totally fit an average size

15
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:07,159
graphics card with no other compromises what so come with me and

16
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:14,040
we'll cover both the performance of this unique card and a really cool use case

17
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,040
that actually benefits from its

18
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:28,439
compactness the be quiet! pure Bas 600 features a versatile design noise

19
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:33,200
isolation and is optimized for different liquid radiator configurations learn

20
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:36,159
more at the link below first things first let's check out their thermal

21
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:40,000
solution there's no point in putting a better GPU in a small package if it's

22
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:44,799
just going to Thermal throttle anyways it starts with a copper block directly

23
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:49,360
above the GPU with 5 6 mm copper heat pipes extending away into the aluminum

24
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:54,159
heat sink above that are two very different fans the one on the left is a

25
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:58,719
90 mm static pressure optimized fan while the one on the right is a 100 mm

26
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:03,640
airflow optimized fan they claim this combination produces ideal mixture for

27
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:07,200
maintaining strong air flow over key components the neutral colored shroud

28
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:11,200
and back plate are both made out of metal and it features a basic white

29
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,280
lighting setup RGB fiends will be disappointed but at least it shouldn't

30
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:20,400
conflict too much with anything in your system as it's all black gray or white

31
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:26,879
for I/O it features a standard Pascal setup three DisplayPort 1.4 ports one

32
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:30,000
HDMI 2.0b port and one dual link DVI

33
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:32,360
port and this is actually kind of cool I

34
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,760
guess it received a little bump of 26 MHz in terms of clock speed as well

35
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:42,280
although as you probably know your mileage may vary here due to GPU boost

36
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:46,840
3.0 which will automatically apply minor overclocks to your card based on spare

37
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:50,959
overhead in terms of thermals and power or throttle it down as needed when I

38
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:55,879
benchmarked the card against an EVGA superclock 1080 and an NVIDIA Founders

39
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:59,879
Edition 1080 I found that it performed pretty much right as expected slightly

40
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:04,720
better than the founders Edition slightly worse than the superclocked

41
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,959
card those results were true in DSX

42
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:13,000
mankind divided rise of the Tomb Raider and Ashes of the singularity so it

43
00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:15,360
performs well for its size but why is it

44
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:21,920
its size well I'm going to pass over to Luke version 2 for that answer hey guys

45
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,400
Luke version 2 here I somehow got roped

46
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:29,400
into doing an upgrade to Linus' personal Media Center rig how did that happen

47
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:33,560
well it's a fascinating story involving a couple jet planes a well-trained

48
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:37,599
monkey and a pink and green car but we all know that's not what you want to

49
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:42,720
hear about so well let's skip right to it however it happened today my task is

50
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,879
to remove Linus' GTX 980 TI and replace

51
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,400
it with the Zotac 1080 mini theoretically thanks to efficiency

52
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,560
improvements since last generation's 900 series this will allow us to maintain

53
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:56,159
the same performance or probably better while consuming less power and while

54
00:03:54,360 --> 00:04:02,959
freeing up space in the Silverstone sg-13 for an all-in-one water cooler in

55
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:05,360
this case the T series super slim from

56
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:09,840
Silverstone the 1080 mini runs a little bit colder than the 980 tii did which

57
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:14,120
makes sense because it's a pascal card and it does have a lot of room to

58
00:04:11,239 --> 00:04:19,079
breathe through the side the CPU didn't do like that much better because it is

59
00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:22,639
an all-in-one but there isn't a ton of radiator space it's a slim and it had a

60
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:26,639
slim fan as well but it's a little bit better and it does seem to be slightly

61
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:32,080
quieter as well which is good and there you have it it worked we were able to

62
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,360
fit an Allin one in this tiny ITX case

63
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:38,199
because of this graphics card it had enough room right at the end there to

64
00:04:36,039 --> 00:04:43,320
make clearance between the radiator and the graphics card everything was fine

65
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:47,320
that's the use case being able to fit more things in your computer is the use

66
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:51,840
case if you're wondering what this is for there you go that's pretty much it

67
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,280
it's a good card it's slightly better than a Founders Edition and it's

68
00:04:53,199 --> 00:05:00,840
slightly smaller it might look a little bit weird in certain systems if you have

69
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:04,800
a system where it has a very defined space for your graphics card you want to

70
00:05:02,919 --> 00:05:08,759
fill that space this card might not be for you if you're going for maybe

71
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:14,240
something that doesn't have a window and you're not necessarily that worried about what it looks like and you want

72
00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:17,479
the capability to do something interesting with it later on maybe this

73
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:22,280
card is for you or if you're trying to build something small and compact like

74
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:26,479
this guy right here then it would work perfectly tunnel bear is the simple VPN
