00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,319
Thank you to Corsair for sending me to Computex this year and allowing me to sit with this cow. They have a cool lap

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:11,519
dog product. Check it out in the video description down below. Also, thank you to MSI. Their graphics card is actually

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:17,520
in this roundup. So, basically everyone's aftermarket custom GTX 1080

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,080
was leaked before Computex. So, now that

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:25,359
we're here in Taipei, there wasn't a ton to cover, especially because almost none

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:28,080
of them actually released clock speeds. Talking about graphics cards without

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:32,000
being able to talk about how fast they are is rather boring. So, what we're

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,520
going to do is like a graphics card gauntlet. We're going to go through

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:41,200
every single manufacturer that I could find at Computex that had a custom GTX

10
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:42,480
1080 and cover what I found to be their

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,960
main card. I'm not going to do things that are two and a half slots. I'm not going to do things that are three slots.

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,559
Just going to focus on their main specifically two slot card. So, let's

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:56,079
go. So, the first card we're going to check out is the ASUS ROG Stricks. This

14
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:58,559
is an RGB card. So, it is compatible

15
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:01,280
with the Aura system of ASUS products. So, you can have it match the different

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,520
colors of all the different components in your system, which is pretty sweet. It features a direct CU3 cooler other

17
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:13,720
than obviously the RGB changes. And it has a boost clock of 1936 MHz for the

18
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:18,479
core and a 10,000 MHz clock for the memory. It has one eightpin PCIe power

19
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:22,799
connector and one six pin PCIe power connector. and a really cool new feature

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:27,600
on the end of the card, which is two four pin fan headers. So, you can plug

21
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:31,840
system fans into this thing and have the system fans react based on the graphics

22
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:35,520
card's temperature instead of traditionally the CPU's temperature,

23
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,960
which is actually probably a lot more helpful considering how people use

24
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:43,040
all-in-one coolers and stuff nowadays. As expected, Windforce has returned in

25
00:01:41,119 --> 00:01:46,640
the form of a G1 gaming graphics card from Gigabyte, but it doesn't say

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:50,479
Windforce anywhere on it. Never fear, it's still a Windforce card. There's

27
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:55,520
just been some branding changes. The G1 Gaming has RGB LEDs on it, 16.8 million

28
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,119
colors, but it does have some orange accents, although they are under the

29
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,040
card in an area that most people won't see, so it might be okay in your case.

30
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,159
There was also a bold move taken by only putting one eightpin power connector

31
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:12,160
where a lot of the other guys are putting two. We'll have to see later on if that actually makes a difference in

32
00:02:10,239 --> 00:02:16,319
overclocking. We'll see with OC scanner and stuff. It might. Stay tuned for a

33
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:19,280
video on overclocking GTX 1080s. Other than that, it is a little bit more

34
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,239
reserved than some of the other cars we've seen at the show, but that might

35
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:27,920
be fine. That might be what you're going for. Next up is MSI's Gaming X8G. It

36
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,760
features a Twin Frozer 6 cooler, which has some differences in terms of the

37
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:36,720
heat pipes. It has one 8mm heat pipe and five 6 mm heat pipes that feature a new

38
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:40,400
flat off squared design near the block, so that it should have more surface area

39
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:44,959
connection there. And it has new fins, which are slightly more curved as they

40
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:50,840
go out on half of them. This card is clocked on the core at 1847 MHz and on

41
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:54,879
the memory at 10,18. For Zotek, I went with their AMP

42
00:02:53,360 --> 00:03:00,000
edition graphics card. It has their Spectra RGB lighting on the front of the

43
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:04,239
card. It features a really good, very clean looking back plate. In terms of

44
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:09,120
fans, there are two of them. For heat pipes, you have two 8mm heat pipes and

45
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:12,879
three 6mm heat pipes for a total of five overall. And a standard connectivity

46
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:18,560
configuration of three DisplayPort 1.4 four ports, one DVID port, and one HDMI

47
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:21,920
2.0 port. But I don't know anything about its clock speeds, unfortunately,

48
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:25,920
as those won't be announced until after the show. Then we have Colorful, a brand

49
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:30,959
that you may not be familiar with, but in certain parts of the world is

50
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:34,159
freaking huge. Their card is the X-Ttop

51
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:36,080
8G GTX 1080. It has a turbo when you

52
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:43,040
engage the button that is on the IO plate of up to 1847 MHz. and other than

53
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:46,239
that has RGB lighting, a triple fan cooler, and a pretty cool looking

54
00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:49,920
backlight plate. Below those fans, there's a 1 mm copper plate to transfer

55
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:54,959
heat from the GPU up into the heat pipes. In terms of power, there's two

56
00:03:52,640 --> 00:04:01,599
8pin PCIe power connectors, giving you a total of 300 W for the card. Next up is

57
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:04,159
Galax with their EXOC GTX 1080. It has

58
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:08,000
two fans, both of which are 100 mm. It has RGB lighting just like seemingly

59
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,280
everybody else. It has a metal back plate, but we actually can't see it

60
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,519
because both of their cards are plastered against a wall. And that back

61
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:20,320
plate will be user upgradeable to an RGB back plate down the line. In terms of

62
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:26,080
power, there's one 8 pin and one six pin PCIe power with a 6 plus2 powerphase

63
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:29,600
design. There's two 8mm and two 6 millm heat pipes. And then in terms of clock

64
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,720
speeds, I have no idea. There's no reported GPU clock speed or memory clock

65
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,880
speed. Hopefully, you guys will be able to find out in the next coming weeks as these cards are coming out pretty soon.

66
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:41,840
All right, guys. Thanks for watching. Hopefully that roundup wasn't too crazy. It was pretty rapid fire. So, if I

67
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,960
skimmed over something too much, like say a last generation cooler that's on a

68
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,720
new GTX 1080, just check out the review of that card from the previous

69
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,680
generation. We should cover the cooler quite a bit. It should give you a good

70
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,639
representation of it. We should be getting more in-depth coverage of these

71
00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:59,759
cards as they show up in the office, including clock speeds and performance

72
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,199
and all that kind of stuff. So, stay tuned for that. Thank you to Corsair for

73
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:08,560
bringing us here to Computex. Check out their lap dog in the video description down below. It lets you use a full-size

74
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:12,560
keyboard and mouse to play games on the couch on your TV. Pretty cool setup.

75
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,639
Also, thank you to MSI. They've got their AUS X desktop and their own GTX

76
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,759
1080, which was in this video. If you want to see all the rest of our complex

77
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:24,960
coverage or any video that doesn't include me sitting with a cow, stay
