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

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

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:17.520
in this roundup. So, basically everyone's aftermarket custom GTX 1080

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:20.080
was leaked before Computex. So, now that

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:25.359
we're here in Taipei, there wasn't a ton to cover, especially because almost none

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:28.080
of them actually released clock speeds. Talking about graphics cards without

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:32.000
being able to talk about how fast they are is rather boring. So, what we're

00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:35.520
going to do is like a graphics card gauntlet. We're going to go through

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:41.200
every single manufacturer that I could find at Computex that had a custom GTX

00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:42.480
1080 and cover what I found to be their

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.

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.559
Just going to focus on their main specifically two slot card. So, let's

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

00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:58.559
is an RGB card. So, it is compatible

00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:01.280
with the Aura system of ASUS products. So, you can have it match the different

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

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:13.720
than obviously the RGB changes. And it has a boost clock of 1936 MHz for the

00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:18.479
core and a 10,000 MHz clock for the memory. It has one eightpin PCIe power

00:01:16.479 --> 00:01:22.799
connector and one six pin PCIe power connector. and a really cool new feature

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

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:31.840
system fans into this thing and have the system fans react based on the graphics

00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:35.520
card's temperature instead of traditionally the CPU's temperature,

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.960
which is actually probably a lot more helpful considering how people use

00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:43.040
all-in-one coolers and stuff nowadays. As expected, Windforce has returned in

00:01:41.119 --> 00:01:46.640
the form of a G1 gaming graphics card from Gigabyte, but it doesn't say

00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:50.479
Windforce anywhere on it. Never fear, it's still a Windforce card. There's

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:55.520
just been some branding changes. The G1 Gaming has RGB LEDs on it, 16.8 million

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.119
colors, but it does have some orange accents, although they are under the

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.

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:06.159
There was also a bold move taken by only putting one eightpin power connector

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

00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:16.319
overclocking. We'll see with OC scanner and stuff. It might. Stay tuned for a

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:19.280
video on overclocking GTX 1080s. Other than that, it is a little bit more

00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:22.239
reserved than some of the other cars we've seen at the show, but that might

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

00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:31.760
features a Twin Frozer 6 cooler, which has some differences in terms of the

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

00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:40.400
flat off squared design near the block, so that it should have more surface area

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.959
connection there. And it has new fins, which are slightly more curved as they

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

00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:54.879
the memory at 10,18. For Zotek, I went with their AMP

00:02:53.360 --> 00:03:00.000
edition graphics card. It has their Spectra RGB lighting on the front of the

00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:04.239
card. It features a really good, very clean looking back plate. In terms of

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:09.120
fans, there are two of them. For heat pipes, you have two 8mm heat pipes and

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:12.879
three 6mm heat pipes for a total of five overall. And a standard connectivity

00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:18.560
configuration of three DisplayPort 1.4 four ports, one DVID port, and one HDMI

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:21.920
2.0 port. But I don't know anything about its clock speeds, unfortunately,

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:25.920
as those won't be announced until after the show. Then we have Colorful, a brand

00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:30.959
that you may not be familiar with, but in certain parts of the world is

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:34.159
freaking huge. Their card is the X-Ttop

00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:36.080
8G GTX 1080. It has a turbo when you

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

00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:46.239
that has RGB lighting, a triple fan cooler, and a pretty cool looking

00:03:44.799 --> 00:03:49.920
backlight plate. Below those fans, there's a 1 mm copper plate to transfer

00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:54.959
heat from the GPU up into the heat pipes. In terms of power, there's two

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

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:04.159
Galax with their EXOC GTX 1080. It has

00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:08.000
two fans, both of which are 100 mm. It has RGB lighting just like seemingly

00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:11.280
everybody else. It has a metal back plate, but we actually can't see it

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:15.519
because both of their cards are plastered against a wall. And that back

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:20.320
plate will be user upgradeable to an RGB back plate down the line. In terms of

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

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

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:32.720
speeds, I have no idea. There's no reported GPU clock speed or memory clock

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.

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

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:46.960
skimmed over something too much, like say a last generation cooler that's on a

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:50.720
new GTX 1080, just check out the review of that card from the previous

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:53.680
generation. We should cover the cooler quite a bit. It should give you a good

00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:56.639
representation of it. We should be getting more in-depth coverage of these

00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:59.759
cards as they show up in the office, including clock speeds and performance

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:03.199
and all that kind of stuff. So, stay tuned for that. Thank you to Corsair for

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

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:12.560
keyboard and mouse to play games on the couch on your TV. Pretty cool setup.

00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:16.639
Also, thank you to MSI. They've got their AUS X desktop and their own GTX

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

00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:24.960
coverage or any video that doesn't include me sitting with a cow, stay

00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:24.960
