So, here we are in the TechTip studio and uh apparently the cameraman's
interested in my shirt. This is my new hoodie. I got it for Christmas. It's a
bit of an early present. Vancouver Conucks. Go Knucks. Okay, so here we
have the Vesta 6050 system that I showed kind of an inrogress build of. So, I
just want to go over the overall specs again. We've got the Core i7 950. That's
a quad core hyperthreading processor with the Corsair H70 liquid cooling
all-in-one unit on it. So, it's running nice and cool no matter what we throw at
it. We've got 12 gigs of RAM. We've also got an ASUS Rampage Formula motherboard
in here. So, that's an X58 board running dual GTX 580 graphics card. So, these
are the top of the range single GPU graphics cards on the market. They are
capable of all of NVIDIA's exclusive technologies like CUDA, PhysX, 3D
Vision. And as you can see on the left here, we have the Crazy Russian himself,
who is as part of our validation process for this system demonstrating NVIDIA
Surround Gaming in Mafia 2, which is one of the games that takes advantage of all
of those awesome NVIDIA technologies. Now, this is just the introduction, and
we're actually going to have him showing off a very intense scene with lots of
broken glass and guns and explosions and
all kinds of good stuff. So, we can really show you what physics can do to
enrich the gameplay experience. So, a couple other things I want to show you
guys. SSD means we've got nice fast
loading times no matter what we're doing on this system. That's a 120 gig Vertex
2. And then we've also got a storage
drive here. So I believe it's uh h I
can't remember how big the storage drive is, but I think it's 2 terbte. Hopefully. Uh yep, two terb. Nice. I got
the I got the thumbs up over there. All right. Then in terms of power supply,
we've got a TX850 power supply, which is more than capable of providing all the
power needed for this system. And we're able to maintain even during a gaming
scenario relatively quiet operation.
Now, we could probably Yeah, we could probably turn down those Corsair fans a
little bit, but it's not the end of the world. And that's part of what keeps it
running. So cool. And I mean, hey, that's good, right? So,
anyway, this is the introduction. So, we'll come back when uh when the Russian
is ready for us to show off some of the more intensive gaming experiences. I'm
not Russian. I'm Soviet Canadian. Well, whatever that you can have with this
machine. All right. So now we are going to demonstrate the Vesta 60/50 with all
the physics, zeal, and fury that we can
muster. All right, so here we go. So we're going to have water effects all
over the place, destructible environments, broken glass. I think the
Russians playing on easy right now, but uh you know, I guess they're not very
good at video games in Russia, so it's somewhat understandable. So we'll get to
actually video game plays here. Yeah, whatever.
So, here here he is hiding behind the corner and hopefully he starts to cause
some uh real havoc here pretty quick.
I've actually never played this game before, so that's why I asked him to do
the uh the gameplay video for
me. Hey. Hey. Nice. There we go. Causing
senseless havoc. Love it. So, you can see that the glass is all persistent in
the environment here. And you should probably kill that
guy that's shooting at you. And uh
that's powered by NVIDIA CUDA. So uh
with their physics technology, they're able to Yeah, it's actually kind of
neat. They're able to well die and then fall on the broken glass. Does the glass
move when you die? It's okay. We'll be back at the Red Dragon restaurant in
just a moment here. And yeah, so that was pretty much the whole point of this.
This is the latest system we've developed at NCIX. It is based on the
fastest technologies that we can throw together in a very very nice quiet
enclosure and hopefully you guys enjoy it. We do have the two configurations
available. So the one is going to run you about and I've got my cheat sheet
there about 1,800 bucks and that one is with single 580. It has an H50 water
cooler instead of the H70. You've got 12 gigs of lower speed RAM instead of the
higher speed RAM. And you've also got a lower-end power supply. And then if you
go with the performance edition, that one's around 2600. You get the faster
memory, you get the bigger water cooler, you get the storage hard drive instead
of no storage hard drive. They both have an SSD. You also get the upgraded power
supply. And hopefully I am not missing anything, right? You get the uh Republic
of Gamers motherboard. So on the base one, you will get a
P6X58DE motherboard. And on this one, you get the Rampage 3 Formula. So, thank
you for checking out this video on the Mafia 2 gameplay footage with the Vesta
6050. Don't forget to subscribe to Lionus Tech Tips and big thanks to our
Soviet Canadian friend over there for doing our gameplay
demo. If you want to see something really pathetic, this is cameraman. He
actually got further into the level than Crazy Russian, and they are on the same
difficulty level. Nice.
