so this is the crisis time demo the GPU test 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 rigs against what
we're doing here and saying oh well I've got a quad core but then they would say
things like oh but I have a 5770 it's like that's great but a 5770 is going to
get absolutely curb 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 here so you can see back there you've
got all four DVI outputs that you would need to run 3D Vision surround and then
you've got a Logitech gaming bundle if you need a keyboard and mouse and then
you can also throw Office 2010 on there if you uh had the need for that because
remember these are for back to school right so you need office because you're
doing lots of work on your computer that
is clearly a work computer thanks for checking out my video blog and I hope
you've enjoyed it oh yeah I should probably also say if
you actually click on either of these links it takes you to our PC Builder
where you can make any changes you want so you can pick a different color case
although the special pricing only applies to the default config so if
you're going to change anything you probably want to uh you know bear in
mind that you're going to be paying a little bit more because these are priced very aggressively with the uh the
components that we've selected so you can upgrade to 8 gigs of RAM you can uh
you can change to 1 gig series video cards if you want anyway you can play
around with it get it exactly the way you want it and and then all you have to
do is check out pretty cool
