00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,640
not long ago we released this video it was the brief overview and introduction

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:12,960
of the Gigabyte G1 gaming 980 TI at computex 2015 and at that time we could

3
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:16,640
obviously see the card aesthetically but the effectiveness of the cooling and the

4
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:20,720
performance of the card especially when its various clock speeds were

5
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:24,680
unannounced was a mystery now that we have the card in hand it's time to go

6
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:29,080
over everything in more detail and get the under the hood look at this bad boy

7
00:00:26,599 --> 00:00:32,960
to see what it can really do by the way Brandon and I visited an amazing new

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:37,480
tech Mall in Taipei and took a bunch of fancy b-roll footage and whatnot and

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:41,480
we'd like to show you guys what's up with that Tech M because it's honestly

10
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:44,800
kind of fantastic but lonus is rather unsure about it so slam that like button

11
00:00:43,239 --> 00:00:49,739
and let them know you want to see

12
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:58,879
it freshbooks is the super simple invoicing solution that lets you get

organized save time and get paid faster click now to try it for free

14
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:07,080
first Up Performance Hardware gigabytes Premier gtx980ti is rocking a stock base

15
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:14,400
clock speed of the 2816 Kuda cor equipped gm200 chip of

16
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:17,400
1190 and a boost clock speed of

17
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:20,360
1291 although this isn't really what you

18
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:24,439
actually get in a good way though don't worry if that's confusing we'll get more

19
00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:28,720
into the performance later on by the way there are two modes for this card gaming

20
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:32,399
mode and OC mode even if you're not overclocking just run the card in OC

21
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:37,159
mode gaming mode just Nerfs your base and boost clock by about 50 MHz compared

22
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:40,600
to OC mode and that's just silly Gigabyte was a little less aggressive in

23
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:48,159
the memory Department running the stock amount of RAM at 6 GB at a speed of

24
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:50,799
about 7,010 MHz the G1 gaming 980 TI is

25
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:56,039
cooled by the same 3x 600 W cooling system as the previous G1 gaming 980 but

26
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,920
it has some various aesthetic changes which I think look great first up they

27
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:03,799
added some silver coloring to the outside of the Cooler's front which

28
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:07,880
looks really sharp and a lot more active than the previous all black design but

29
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:13,400
could also potentially conflict with some color setup builds I think but

30
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,800
almost all cases will be fine with it due to the still generally muted color

31
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:22,160
palette then we have the LED backlit windforce logo on the top of the card

32
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:28,840
which isn't technically full RGB but can be set to white yellow blue purple red

33
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:33,120
green or teal to match almost any build you might have you set these colors

34
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:37,000
through the Gigabyte OC Guru 2 utility software which you can download from the

35
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:42,040
support and download section of the Gigabyte G1 Gaming 980ti website on each

36
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:46,640
side of this back lit logo is a button to stop the fans if you want to move

37
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:51,959
into a silent operating mode and we turn the uh main logo LEDs off and turn the

38
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:56,879
white LEDs behind said respective buttons on I do have a gripe with this

39
00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:00,480
some people might bring up that having a button on your graphics card is not

40
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:04,720
going to be all that helpful for most people that will probably have this card

41
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,400
inside of a computer case and they don't want to take off their side panel and

42
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:11,840
press a button inside their computer when they could just control it with

43
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:16,200
software but I'm not going to complain about added features when they don't

44
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:20,879
really hurt anything my problem with this is that one of the buttons says

45
00:03:18,519 --> 00:03:25,720
silent and the other button says stop please if you're going to have two

46
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:31,519
different buttons that do the exact same thing at least name and label them the

47
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:33,599
same way anyways moving on this card

48
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:38,159
also comes with gigabyt flex display technology which allows you to plug in

49
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:44,000
up to four monitors at the same time using some various plug groupings you do

50
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,400
this by choosing an additional DVID or

51
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:51,560
two additional DisplayPort plugs over your already existing DVI DisplayPort

52
00:03:49,239 --> 00:03:55,560
and HDMI plugs a great feature for adapting to your various potential

53
00:03:53,040 --> 00:04:01,680
display adapter needs the windforce 3x cooler has three fans 5 8 mm heat pipes

54
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:06,560
and 1 6 m heat pipe the fan blades have a special striped design or stripped

55
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:11,920
design that Gigabyte claims to increase air flow by 23% compared to traditional

56
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:15,400
fans and also reduces air turbulence other than that we have a fairly

57
00:04:13,079 --> 00:04:19,639
expected setup on top of the right hand side of the card you have your standard

58
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,919
set of dual 8 Pin power connectors SLI fingers on the left side and a black PCB

59
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:27,040
hidden under all of those fancy aesthetic improvements that we mentioned

60
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:33,560
earlier we don't have an acoustic chamber yet maybe in the new office

61
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,520
lonus maybe I don't know either way it

62
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:41,240
wasn't that bad under load and was able to even keep the card quite cool with an

63
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,639
ambient temperature of 32 freaking de C

64
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:47,039
just before we get into the performance section I'd like to remind you guys that

65
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:51,520
NVIDIA has some tech inside this card including Classics like SLI Cuda and

66
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:56,000
GeForce experience and all the new stuff that was introduced with the gtx980 ti

67
00:04:53,759 --> 00:05:00,440
like g-sync fullcreen Window mode support direct

68
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:04,120
x121 support and VR rendering optimizations for rendering fewer

69
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:08,840
unnecessary pixels which you can learn more about in Linus's original 980ti

70
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:14,600
launch video by clicking here overclocking the G1 gaming 980 TI was

71
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:18,759
odd but unsurprising I mentioned earlier that it had an 1190 stock clock and a

72
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,919
boost clock of 12291 but in actuality without any

73
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:29,280
tweaking or changes on my end it was able to achieve a boost clock of

74
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:33,960
1370 all on its own that's quite an improving over the already existing

75
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,400
boost clock this has been going on for a while now if you haven't noticed yet and

76
00:05:36,039 --> 00:05:41,319
we're actually looking into making a video comparing a whole bunch of the

77
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,840
same card to see all their various boost clocks on their own but it's a little

78
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,639
difficult to round up enough cards to make the sample size actually mean

79
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:52,440
anything so don't hold your breath waiting for that one for actual

80
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:58,560
overclocking manually it did pretty well to a core clock actual of 1480 but one

81
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:03,080
problem I did have was some weird voltage issues my card got upset when I

82
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:07,960
applied any additional voltage to it at all which is a little weird and I would

83
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:10,120
expect most people to get around 15 25

84
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:13,960
to, 1550 with this card as my overclocked power draw and thermals

85
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:18,080
really didn't get that high due to the voltage causing the card to crash

86
00:06:16,039 --> 00:06:22,479
prematurely in terms of performance it did really well even beating out the

87
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:27,319
previous King the Titan X at stock speeds and absolutely running away with

88
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:32,440
things when overclocked in every single game that we tested with no out standing

89
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:36,560
issues anywhere in conclusion the Titan X just got wrecked for gaming we all

90
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:40,960
knew it wouldn't last although I must admit this was a little faster than I

91
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:46,639
had expected having the G1 gaming 98 TI walk all over the Titan even when not

92
00:06:43,479 --> 00:06:50,319
overclocked was damn

93
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:53,800
impressive and M drop so we've got a

94
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:56,919
drop for you guys today visit draw UPS

95
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:59,120
SL Linus Tech tips and actually this is

96
00:06:56,919 --> 00:07:03,840
a deal from our buds over at Sennheiser this is the gorma zero I think they mean

97
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:08,360
game but it's lead speak or something along those lines it's a pretty awesome

98
00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:13,800
gaming headset from senheiser one of the Hallmarks of Sennheiser gaming headsets

99
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:16,280
is their excellent boom marks boom marks

100
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:23,080
boom microphones and you can get this one for 179 instead of 249 which is the

101
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,960
MSRP as long as at least five people

102
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:28,440
jump on to the drop which is good news for you if you want to get it at that

103
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:34,639
minimum price because as of the time of filming this there's already 15 people

104
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:36,199
on it so uh yeah basically our work is

105
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:40,960
done and we haven't even started what work are we doing well we want to tell

106
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:43,160
you guys about mop.com great site they

107
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,599
basically run out and find great products and then they kind of go okay

108
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:51,080
if we can find enough people to buy this thing how low can you go manufacturers

109
00:07:49,479 --> 00:07:53,800
and Distributors come in and they say okay well if you can get 10 to buy it

110
00:07:52,479 --> 00:07:57,639
you get this price if you get this many you can get an even lower price and the

111
00:07:55,599 --> 00:08:03,440
whole Community works together for basically coordinated group buying so

112
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:07,199
you can visit draws linest techtips for whatever deal it is that we're on about

113
00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:13,879
