00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,400
recently NVIDIA's ceo jensen huang said

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,679
that for the holiday season and the

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:11,440
foreseeable future i think pascal is

4
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:15,920
just unbeatable we assumed he meant on the very high end

5
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:22,080
where AMD hasn't even teased an upcoming competitor but i guess he probably

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:26,080
already knew then that the gtx 1070 ti

7
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:28,720
was on its way but what is this

8
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:34,000
an exciting new offering or just a transparent attempt by NVIDIA to get all

9
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:39,040
the press including us talking about them by repackaging existing tech to

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:42,640
secure their market share while vega availability is low

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:48,879
so we're going to show you some performance numbers but only after we

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,039
talk about the bs that NVIDIA is pulling

13
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:55,840
with this launch and after you listen to this word from

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:01:00,480
our sponsor mac weldon mac weldon believes in smart design premium fabrics

15
00:00:58,239 --> 00:01:05,250
and simple shopping use offer code tech tips to get 20 off your next order at

16
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:13,520
the link below

17
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:22,240
looking at the spec sheet gtx 1070 ti has more in common with the 1080 than it

18
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:28,400
does with the 1070. it has the same core clock the same TDP just a touch fewer

19
00:01:25,759 --> 00:01:34,640
cuda cores and in fact all it has in common with the 1070 is the name

20
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:37,759
and memory configuration even visually

21
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:41,360
it's almost identical to a gtx 1080

22
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:44,960
founders edition same cooler same shroud

23
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,960
same overall length and width same power

24
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:52,960
connector i mean for all intents and purposes this card feels more like a

25
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:56,240
binned 1080 with cheaper gddr5 rather

26
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,000
than gddr5x memory and given how quickly

27
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:02,880
it's been brought to market by the look of things it probably is

28
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:06,320
but just because the product is a familiar face with a mustache and a

29
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:11,360
funny wig doesn't mean the business practices are

30
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:16,000
anything we've seen before so in the past

31
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:18,560
founders editions were more expensive

32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,920
presumably to avoid competing with board partners that are building custom

33
00:02:20,239 --> 00:02:29,120
solutions like ASUS evga and MSI

34
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:29,120
but this time the msrps are the same

35
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:38,720
now there's nothing legally or even ethically wrong with this but it's known

36
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:40,879
in the biz as a dick move and while

37
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:47,040
consumers might not care about that i mean lower prices is better right

38
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:49,280
this next one is a similar grade kick in

39
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:54,480
their teeth do you guys remember green light NVIDIA's program limiting

40
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:59,280
overclocking friendly partner designs with unlocked voltages

41
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:03,599
well they are tightening their fist even further

42
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,560
board partners are apparently now being

43
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:10,239
told that they can no longer sell cards with a factory overclocked BIOS

44
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:15,680
installed NVIDIA i'm sure you know this already but this

45
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:22,239
is a big load of bullsh i mean look at poor evga's website

46
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:25,120
everything from a base blower card to a

47
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:30,799
water cooled card ships with exactly the same clock speeds and the rumor going

48
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:36,720
around from even reputable sources like pc purse ryan shrout is that not only is

49
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:41,360
every card clocked the same out of the box relying on GPU boost for any

50
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:45,200
performance gains and from my understanding these vendors

51
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,959
aren't even allowed to bend the parts right so the higher end

52
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:52,159
cards don't get the best gpus necessarily it's kind of

53
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:57,200
more luck of the draw here what i mean what

54
00:03:54,879 --> 00:04:02,720
it feels like is they're trying to keep this card from being too good so that

55
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:06,720
they can keep selling 1080s some partners are trying to work around this

56
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:12,480
by bundling one-click overclocking software but at worst this screws over

57
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:18,239
the users of platforms without available software overclocking tools like mac

58
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,880
users with external GPU boxes and at

59
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:25,600
best it's just adding more junk for the consumer to install to get the

60
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:29,680
performance that they paid for whatever your reasons for doing this green team

61
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:33,199
they're not good enough and we don't like them with all of that out of the

62
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:37,199
way the world does still need to know how this card performs though so we

63
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:42,720
grabbed our kaby lake and ryzen test benches along with a fine selection of

64
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,880
recent gpus to pin it against so is it

65
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:48,160
good enough to crush AMD's hopes and dreams

66
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,919
we start out with a solid it depends

67
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:57,199
on ryzen we got slightly better performance with vega and deus ex

68
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,360
mankind divided in both 1080p and 1440p

69
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:02,320
while our kaby lake bench gave us more mixed results

70
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:07,840
rise of the tomb raider flips things around with the 1070 ti pulling out

71
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:11,199
ahead on both ryzen and core i7 that is

72
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:12,800
until we look at directx 12 and 1440p

73
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:18,560
where once again the gap closes significantly and vega even overtakes it

74
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:24,080
this trend continues all the way through our bench suite with the vega 56 either

75
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:29,360
pretty close to 1070 ti and for honor and ghost recon wildlands or outright

76
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:33,840
outperforming it like at 1440p in counter-strike global offensive

77
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:39,039
our synthetics are initially more kind to the 1070 ti with a higher result in

78
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:45,280
fire strike extreme and time spy but unigen's superposition gives the edge to

79
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,280
vega 56. as for productivity blender

80
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:53,919
cycles renderer shows a clear preference for AMD with vega 56 shaving 15 seconds

81
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,080
off the 1070 ti's time to render the bmw

82
00:05:53,919 --> 00:06:02,400
and an even wider gap in the classroom test as for power consumption it clearly

83
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:05,280
favors the 1070 ti though with a cool 30

84
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:11,680
watt lower total system power draw than vega 56 and an even wider gap of course

85
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:14,639
compared to vega 64. unsurprisingly it's

86
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:19,520
pretty close to the gtx 1080 though its thermal performance under synthetic load

87
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:23,840
actually winds up a little better so is it a vega killer

88
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:30,080
well that's where it gets interesting based on supposed msrps no

89
00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:35,280
but when we consider vegas ongoing availability and pricing issues it

90
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:40,880
actually doesn't do too badly at all not badly for NVIDIA that is both consumers

91
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:45,440
and NVIDIA's partners are kind of getting the shaft here

92
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:50,560
speaking of uh getting the shaft the last thing you

93
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:56,000
want is to be using an airport's free wi-fi network or you know doing some

94
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,160
emergency banking at that random cafe

95
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:03,120
and be giving away your personal information well tunnelbear can solve

96
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:07,680
this problem it's the simple vpn app that makes it easy to browse privately

97
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:11,840
and enjoy a more open internet with tunnelbear turned on a couple of things

98
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:17,360
happen number one your wi-fi connection gets secured with aes 256-bit encryption

99
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:22,080
and number two your online activity is kept private from your internet provider

100
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:27,039
advertisers or anyone else looking to track you or profit from your data

101
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:31,280
because it switches your ip to one from some other country you just pick it and

102
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:38,160
boop so start a seven day free trial at tunnelbear.com LTT and go check it out

103
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,440
at the link in the video description

104
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,160
so thanks for watching guys if this video sucked you know what to do but if it was awesome get subscribed hit that

105
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:49,520
like button or check out the link to where to buy the stuff we featured in the video description also down there is
