running on the SLI performance package version of the Vesta 3050 Series so this one is actually $1.99 so it's around $1,200 Canadian dollar uh compared to the other one which is around $900 Canadian dollars but you do get some pretty cool upgrades for your extra 300 bucks I mean I had people saying oh well that's not a very good gaming machine blah blah blah I mean well it's $900 what do you expect so for a few hundred more you get uh an i5 760 quadcore you get an additional GTX 460 you get an upgraded power supply so the actual one on the Builder is is a cic 600 wat which is actually is this plugged into the power meter right now yeah right now we're pulling 371 Watts from the wall so it's more than enough and then you also get an upgrade to a 1.5 TB hard drive so I want to emphasize that this is Crisis running at 1920x 1080 so you can see up here in the corner our average FPS is just under 40 and uh and we're actually running this with all of the details options maxed out as well as 2x anti-aliasing so this is pretty much the highest graphical quality that you can get out of Crisis and I think that's pretty much everything I wanted to say so I'm just going to quit the time demo aha there we go and then we can close that close this anyway so if you want to find these uh you can either click the link under the YouTube video that works or if you go on the NC site you can either go to buy a PC and then navigate through NX Fusion to either the Vesta I 33050 SLI base so that's the basic package which we already showed the performance of the other day and then there's also the I5 3050 SLI performance so that's the the $1,200 package that we're showing right now so uh actually you know what I showed 3D Mark for the other one which was around, ,000 points and this one scores about 24,000 points so for another few hundred bucks you actually get a lot more gaming performance for your dollar uh something else to bear in mind we had a lot of people comparing their

stomped by gtx460 so the reason that we took the G that we took a lower-end processor in this case a dual core or if you get the performance package of quad core and paired it up with a high-end GPU is in games running at HD resolutions or higher even you always get more benefit from a premium graphics card than you would necessarily from U more cores on your CPU especially with current games now if you're moving forward yeah you probably want to have a quad core but if you're just thinking in terms of the next couple years a dual core is going to be sufficient for sure anyway this is the little uh ad that you can see if you navigate to it the other way so that's if you click the little link on the right hand side of the page ncpc Vesta 3050 gaming systems you get dropped on this page where it actually talks about some of the other cool things for example it comes with a free Starcraft 2 trial it comes with a copy of Metro 2033 it comes with a copy of Just Cause 2 and that's both of the packages come with all of those games uh and game Trials cuz Starcraft 2 is a trial it's silent so you can I guess you if you wanted to you could click the links here to see the other videos we already did and then you can see the Vantage run that we did on the base package where it scores about 14,000 points here there's a little thing where you can Mouse over and see all of the uh special call out features that we're talking about I mean this is mostly about how it's silent and how you're getting high gaming performance out of either of these two machines for the dollar and then there's a couple other things down here so you can add a 3D Vision bundle so it's actually 3D Vision ready with the single card and then it's even 3D Vision surround ready if you have two GTX 460s in
