00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.640
not long ago we released this video it was the brief overview and introduction

00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:12.960
of the Gigabyte G1 gaming 980 TI at computex 2015 and at that time we could

00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:16.640
obviously see the card aesthetically but the effectiveness of the cooling and the

00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:20.720
performance of the card especially when its various clock speeds were

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

00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:29.080
over everything in more detail and get the under the hood look at this bad boy

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

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:37.480
tech Mall in Taipei and took a bunch of fancy b-roll footage and whatnot and

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

00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:44.800
kind of fantastic but lonus is rather unsure about it so slam that like button

00:00:43.239 --> 00:00:49.739
and let them know you want to see

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:58.879
it freshbooks is the super simple invoicing solution that lets you get

00:00:56.199 --> 00:01:03.000
organized save time and get paid faster click now to try it for free

00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:07.080
first Up Performance Hardware gigabytes Premier gtx980ti is rocking a stock base

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:14.400
clock speed of the 2816 Kuda cor equipped gm200 chip of

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:17.400
1190 and a boost clock speed of

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:20.360
1291 although this isn't really what you

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

00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:28.720
into the performance later on by the way there are two modes for this card gaming

00:01:26.600 --> 00:01:32.399
mode and OC mode even if you're not overclocking just run the card in OC

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:37.159
mode gaming mode just Nerfs your base and boost clock by about 50 MHz compared

00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:40.600
to OC mode and that's just silly Gigabyte was a little less aggressive in

00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:48.159
the memory Department running the stock amount of RAM at 6 GB at a speed of

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:50.799
about 7,010 MHz the G1 gaming 980 TI is

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:56.039
cooled by the same 3x 600 W cooling system as the previous G1 gaming 980 but

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:59.920
it has some various aesthetic changes which I think look great first up they

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:03.799
added some silver coloring to the outside of the Cooler's front which

00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:07.880
looks really sharp and a lot more active than the previous all black design but

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:13.400
could also potentially conflict with some color setup builds I think but

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:17.800
almost all cases will be fine with it due to the still generally muted color

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:22.160
palette then we have the LED backlit windforce logo on the top of the card

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:28.840
which isn't technically full RGB but can be set to white yellow blue purple red

00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:33.120
green or teal to match almost any build you might have you set these colors

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:37.000
through the Gigabyte OC Guru 2 utility software which you can download from the

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:42.040
support and download section of the Gigabyte G1 Gaming 980ti website on each

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

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

00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:56.879
white LEDs behind said respective buttons on I do have a gripe with this

00:02:54.760 --> 00:03:00.480
some people might bring up that having a button on your graphics card is not

00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:04.720
going to be all that helpful for most people that will probably have this card

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

00:03:06.040 --> 00:03:11.840
press a button inside their computer when they could just control it with

00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:16.200
software but I'm not going to complain about added features when they don't

00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:20.879
really hurt anything my problem with this is that one of the buttons says

00:03:18.519 --> 00:03:25.720
silent and the other button says stop please if you're going to have two

00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:31.519
different buttons that do the exact same thing at least name and label them the

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:33.599
same way anyways moving on this card

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:38.159
also comes with gigabyt flex display technology which allows you to plug in

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:44.000
up to four monitors at the same time using some various plug groupings you do

00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:46.400
this by choosing an additional DVID or

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:51.560
two additional DisplayPort plugs over your already existing DVI DisplayPort

00:03:49.239 --> 00:03:55.560
and HDMI plugs a great feature for adapting to your various potential

00:03:53.040 --> 00:04:01.680
display adapter needs the windforce 3x cooler has three fans 5 8 mm heat pipes

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:06.560
and 1 6 m heat pipe the fan blades have a special striped design or stripped

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:11.920
design that Gigabyte claims to increase air flow by 23% compared to traditional

00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:15.400
fans and also reduces air turbulence other than that we have a fairly

00:04:13.079 --> 00:04:19.639
expected setup on top of the right hand side of the card you have your standard

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

00:04:22.280 --> 00:04:27.040
hidden under all of those fancy aesthetic improvements that we mentioned

00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:33.560
earlier we don't have an acoustic chamber yet maybe in the new office

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.520
lonus maybe I don't know either way it

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

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:42.639
ambient temperature of 32 freaking de C

00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:47.039
just before we get into the performance section I'd like to remind you guys that

00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:51.520
NVIDIA has some tech inside this card including Classics like SLI Cuda and

00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:56.000
GeForce experience and all the new stuff that was introduced with the gtx980 ti

00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:00.440
like g-sync fullcreen Window mode support direct

00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:04.120
x121 support and VR rendering optimizations for rendering fewer

00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:08.840
unnecessary pixels which you can learn more about in Linus's original 980ti

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:14.600
launch video by clicking here overclocking the G1 gaming 980 TI was

00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:18.759
odd but unsurprising I mentioned earlier that it had an 1190 stock clock and a

00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:23.919
boost clock of 12291 but in actuality without any

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:29.280
tweaking or changes on my end it was able to achieve a boost clock of

00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:33.960
1370 all on its own that's quite an improving over the already existing

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

00:05:36.039 --> 00:05:41.319
we're actually looking into making a video comparing a whole bunch of the

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

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:48.639
difficult to round up enough cards to make the sample size actually mean

00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:52.440
anything so don't hold your breath waiting for that one for actual

00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:58.560
overclocking manually it did pretty well to a core clock actual of 1480 but one

00:05:57.080 --> 00:06:03.080
problem I did have was some weird voltage issues my card got upset when I

00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:07.960
applied any additional voltage to it at all which is a little weird and I would

00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:10.120
expect most people to get around 15 25

00:06:07.960 --> 00:06:13.960
to, 1550 with this card as my overclocked power draw and thermals

00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:18.080
really didn't get that high due to the voltage causing the card to crash

00:06:16.039 --> 00:06:22.479
prematurely in terms of performance it did really well even beating out the

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:27.319
previous King the Titan X at stock speeds and absolutely running away with

00:06:24.520 --> 00:06:32.440
things when overclocked in every single game that we tested with no out standing

00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:36.560
issues anywhere in conclusion the Titan X just got wrecked for gaming we all

00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:40.960
knew it wouldn't last although I must admit this was a little faster than I

00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:46.639
had expected having the G1 gaming 98 TI walk all over the Titan even when not

00:06:43.479 --> 00:06:50.319
overclocked was damn

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:53.800
impressive and M drop so we've got a

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:56.919
drop for you guys today visit draw UPS

00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:59.120
SL Linus Tech tips and actually this is

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

00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:08.360
game but it's lead speak or something along those lines it's a pretty awesome

00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:13.800
gaming headset from senheiser one of the Hallmarks of Sennheiser gaming headsets

00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:16.280
is their excellent boom marks boom marks

00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:23.080
boom microphones and you can get this one for 179 instead of 249 which is the

00:07:19.960 --> 00:07:24.960
MSRP as long as at least five people

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

00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:34.639
minimum price because as of the time of filming this there's already 15 people

00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:36.199
on it so uh yeah basically our work is

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

00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:43.160
you guys about mop.com great site they

00:07:40.960 --> 00:07:46.599
basically run out and find great products and then they kind of go okay

00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:51.080
if we can find enough people to buy this thing how low can you go manufacturers

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

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

00:07:55.599 --> 00:08:03.440
whole Community works together for basically coordinated group buying so

00:08:00.479 --> 00:08:07.199
you can visit draws linest techtips for whatever deal it is that we're on about

00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:13.879
or you can just browse the M drop site where you can find all kinds of cool stuff from gaming headsets to keyboards

00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:15.360
to knives to well you get my point we

00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:21.800
picked up an audio recorder there not that long ago so uh check it out now
