00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.400
recently NVIDIA's ceo jensen huang said

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:09.679
that for the holiday season and the

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:11.440
foreseeable future i think pascal is

00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:15.920
just unbeatable we assumed he meant on the very high end

00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:22.080
where AMD hasn't even teased an upcoming competitor but i guess he probably

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:26.080
already knew then that the gtx 1070 ti

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:28.720
was on its way but what is this

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:34.000
an exciting new offering or just a transparent attempt by NVIDIA to get all

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:39.040
the press including us talking about them by repackaging existing tech to

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:42.640
secure their market share while vega availability is low

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:48.879
so we're going to show you some performance numbers but only after we

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:51.039
talk about the bs that NVIDIA is pulling

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:55.840
with this launch and after you listen to this word from

00:00:53.360 --> 00:01:00.480
our sponsor mac weldon mac weldon believes in smart design premium fabrics

00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:05.250
and simple shopping use offer code tech tips to get 20 off your next order at

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:13.520
the link below

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

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

00:01:25.759 --> 00:01:34.640
cuda cores and in fact all it has in common with the 1070 is the name

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:37.759
and memory configuration even visually

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:41.360
it's almost identical to a gtx 1080

00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:44.960
founders edition same cooler same shroud

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:46.960
same overall length and width same power

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:52.960
connector i mean for all intents and purposes this card feels more like a

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:56.240
binned 1080 with cheaper gddr5 rather

00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:58.000
than gddr5x memory and given how quickly

00:01:56.240 --> 00:02:02.880
it's been brought to market by the look of things it probably is

00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:06.320
but just because the product is a familiar face with a mustache and a

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:11.360
funny wig doesn't mean the business practices are

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:16.000
anything we've seen before so in the past

00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:18.560
founders editions were more expensive

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:23.920
presumably to avoid competing with board partners that are building custom

00:02:20.239 --> 00:02:29.120
solutions like ASUS evga and MSI

00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:29.120
but this time the msrps are the same

00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:38.720
now there's nothing legally or even ethically wrong with this but it's known

00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:40.879
in the biz as a dick move and while

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:47.040
consumers might not care about that i mean lower prices is better right

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:49.280
this next one is a similar grade kick in

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:54.480
their teeth do you guys remember green light NVIDIA's program limiting

00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:59.280
overclocking friendly partner designs with unlocked voltages

00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:03.599
well they are tightening their fist even further

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:06.560
board partners are apparently now being

00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:10.239
told that they can no longer sell cards with a factory overclocked BIOS

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:15.680
installed NVIDIA i'm sure you know this already but this

00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:22.239
is a big load of bullsh i mean look at poor evga's website

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:25.120
everything from a base blower card to a

00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:30.799
water cooled card ships with exactly the same clock speeds and the rumor going

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:36.720
around from even reputable sources like pc purse ryan shrout is that not only is

00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:41.360
every card clocked the same out of the box relying on GPU boost for any

00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:45.200
performance gains and from my understanding these vendors

00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:48.959
aren't even allowed to bend the parts right so the higher end

00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:52.159
cards don't get the best gpus necessarily it's kind of

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:57.200
more luck of the draw here what i mean what

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

00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:06.720
they can keep selling 1080s some partners are trying to work around this

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:12.480
by bundling one-click overclocking software but at worst this screws over

00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:18.239
the users of platforms without available software overclocking tools like mac

00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:20.880
users with external GPU boxes and at

00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:25.600
best it's just adding more junk for the consumer to install to get the

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:29.680
performance that they paid for whatever your reasons for doing this green team

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

00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:37.199
way the world does still need to know how this card performs though so we

00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:42.720
grabbed our kaby lake and ryzen test benches along with a fine selection of

00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:44.880
recent gpus to pin it against so is it

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:48.160
good enough to crush AMD's hopes and dreams

00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:51.919
we start out with a solid it depends

00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:57.199
on ryzen we got slightly better performance with vega and deus ex

00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:59.360
mankind divided in both 1080p and 1440p

00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:02.320
while our kaby lake bench gave us more mixed results

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:07.840
rise of the tomb raider flips things around with the 1070 ti pulling out

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:11.199
ahead on both ryzen and core i7 that is

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:12.800
until we look at directx 12 and 1440p

00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:18.560
where once again the gap closes significantly and vega even overtakes it

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:24.080
this trend continues all the way through our bench suite with the vega 56 either

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:29.360
pretty close to 1070 ti and for honor and ghost recon wildlands or outright

00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:33.840
outperforming it like at 1440p in counter-strike global offensive

00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:39.039
our synthetics are initially more kind to the 1070 ti with a higher result in

00:05:36.479 --> 00:05:45.280
fire strike extreme and time spy but unigen's superposition gives the edge to

00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:47.280
vega 56. as for productivity blender

00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:53.919
cycles renderer shows a clear preference for AMD with vega 56 shaving 15 seconds

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.080
off the 1070 ti's time to render the bmw

00:05:53.919 --> 00:06:02.400
and an even wider gap in the classroom test as for power consumption it clearly

00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:05.280
favors the 1070 ti though with a cool 30

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:11.680
watt lower total system power draw than vega 56 and an even wider gap of course

00:06:08.479 --> 00:06:14.639
compared to vega 64. unsurprisingly it's

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:19.520
pretty close to the gtx 1080 though its thermal performance under synthetic load

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:23.840
actually winds up a little better so is it a vega killer

00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:30.080
well that's where it gets interesting based on supposed msrps no

00:06:27.919 --> 00:06:35.280
but when we consider vegas ongoing availability and pricing issues it

00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:40.880
actually doesn't do too badly at all not badly for NVIDIA that is both consumers

00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:45.440
and NVIDIA's partners are kind of getting the shaft here

00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:50.560
speaking of uh getting the shaft the last thing you

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

00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:58.160
emergency banking at that random cafe

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:03.120
and be giving away your personal information well tunnelbear can solve

00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:07.680
this problem it's the simple vpn app that makes it easy to browse privately

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:11.840
and enjoy a more open internet with tunnelbear turned on a couple of things

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:17.360
happen number one your wi-fi connection gets secured with aes 256-bit encryption

00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:22.080
and number two your online activity is kept private from your internet provider

00:07:19.919 --> 00:07:27.039
advertisers or anyone else looking to track you or profit from your data

00:07:24.080 --> 00:07:31.280
because it switches your ip to one from some other country you just pick it and

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:38.160
