00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.960
miniature but high performance graphics cards have been around for a while but

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:12.440
earlier models compromised performance for their petite size not to mention

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:19.160
that they really really ran hot it wasn't until the gtx970 minis in late

00:00:15.520 --> 00:00:21.119
2014 and the Epic Radeon R9 Nano the

00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:27.279
following year that these pint siiz pixel pushers became viable options for

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:29.800
really high performance mini computers

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

00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:38.559
you today is an entirely new Beast Zotac

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:42.160
offering for 2017 is the world smallest

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:45.160
GTX 1080 but how does it perform and who

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:47.199
or what is it even for Zotac doesn't

00:00:45.160 --> 00:00:52.920
really seem to know they they say it fits in 99% of cases then show things

00:00:50.199 --> 00:00:57.600
ranging from what looks like a mid Tower up to Giant server cabinets then Show an

00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:02.640
example of it installed in a case that could have totally fit an average size

00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:07.159
graphics card with no other compromises what so come with me and

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:14.040
we'll cover both the performance of this unique card and a really cool use case

00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.040
that actually benefits from its

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:28.439
compactness the be quiet! pure Bas 600 features a versatile design noise

00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:33.200
isolation and is optimized for different liquid radiator configurations learn

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:36.159
more at the link below first things first let's check out their thermal

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

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:44.799
just going to Thermal throttle anyways it starts with a copper block directly

00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:49.360
above the GPU with 5 6 mm copper heat pipes extending away into the aluminum

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:54.159
heat sink above that are two very different fans the one on the left is a

00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:58.719
90 mm static pressure optimized fan while the one on the right is a 100 mm

00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:03.640
airflow optimized fan they claim this combination produces ideal mixture for

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:07.200
maintaining strong air flow over key components the neutral colored shroud

00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:11.200
and back plate are both made out of metal and it features a basic white

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:15.280
lighting setup RGB fiends will be disappointed but at least it shouldn't

00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:20.400
conflict too much with anything in your system as it's all black gray or white

00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:26.879
for I/O it features a standard Pascal setup three DisplayPort 1.4 ports one

00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:30.000
HDMI 2.0b port and one dual link DVI

00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:32.360
port and this is actually kind of cool I

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:36.760
guess it received a little bump of 26 MHz in terms of clock speed as well

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:42.280
although as you probably know your mileage may vary here due to GPU boost

00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:46.840
3.0 which will automatically apply minor overclocks to your card based on spare

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:50.959
overhead in terms of thermals and power or throttle it down as needed when I

00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:55.879
benchmarked the card against an EVGA superclock 1080 and an NVIDIA Founders

00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:59.879
Edition 1080 I found that it performed pretty much right as expected slightly

00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:04.720
better than the founders Edition slightly worse than the superclocked

00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:06.959
card those results were true in DSX

00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:13.000
mankind divided rise of the Tomb Raider and Ashes of the singularity so it

00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:15.360
performs well for its size but why is it

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

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:24.400
Luke version 2 here I somehow got roped

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:29.400
into doing an upgrade to Linus' personal Media Center rig how did that happen

00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:33.560
well it's a fascinating story involving a couple jet planes a well-trained

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

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

00:03:39.480 --> 00:03:44.879
to remove Linus' GTX 980 TI and replace

00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:48.400
it with the Zotac 1080 mini theoretically thanks to efficiency

00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:52.560
improvements since last generation's 900 series this will allow us to maintain

00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:56.159
the same performance or probably better while consuming less power and while

00:03:54.360 --> 00:04:02.959
freeing up space in the Silverstone sg-13 for an all-in-one water cooler in

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:05.360
this case the T series super slim from

00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:09.840
Silverstone the 1080 mini runs a little bit colder than the 980 tii did which

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

00:04:11.239 --> 00:04:19.079
breathe through the side the CPU didn't do like that much better because it is

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

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

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

00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:34.360
fit an Allin one in this tiny ITX case

00:04:32.080 --> 00:04:38.199
because of this graphics card it had enough room right at the end there to

00:04:36.039 --> 00:04:43.320
make clearance between the radiator and the graphics card everything was fine

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

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

00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:55.280
it's a good card it's slightly better than a Founders Edition and it's

00:04:53.199 --> 00:05:00.840
slightly smaller it might look a little bit weird in certain systems if you have

00:04:57.880 --> 00:05:04.800
a system where it has a very defined space for your graphics card you want to

00:05:02.919 --> 00:05:08.759
fill that space this card might not be for you if you're going for maybe

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

00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:17.479
the capability to do something interesting with it later on maybe this

00:05:15.960 --> 00:05:22.280
card is for you or if you're trying to build something small and compact like

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:26.479
