WEBVTT 00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:12.559 The Cooler Master Glacer 240L CPU cooler delivers the convenience of an 00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:17.279 all-in-one and the performance of a custom water cooler. Click now to learn 00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:23.279 more. We've actually got a double feature today. A GTX 750Ti with a 00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:29.039 reference design from NVIDIA and a spoiler alert by the way kick asses 00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:34.480 one. But first, the introduction. The GTX 750Ti is not on the surface the most 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:39.360 exciting card from NVIDIA that we've ever reviewed. Performance is solid, 00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:46.160 sure, and power consumption is extremely low due to the GM 107 GPU GPU cores use 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:52.559 of NVIDIA's allnew Maxwell architecture, but it's not exactly a Titan challenger 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:55.760 in terms of raw horsepower. No, this 00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:58.160 product is for tier 1 PC upgraders, uh, 00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:04.720 small form factor enthusiasts, folks who are upgrading from older something 50 00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:08.880 class cards like the 550Ti, or basically anyone who's looking to get solid 1080p 00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:13.200 performance in modern titles without expecting to crank the details up to 00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:16.799 maximum. Now, NVIDIA spent a fair bit of time in their press briefing talking 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:22.000 about the technologies around the card like G-Sync gameream and GeForce 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:25.680 experience with Shadow Play, uh, gameplay recording, and streaming to 00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:29.360 Twitch. And these technologies are great and a key differentiator for NVIDIA 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.280 compared to their competition, but we've covered most of this stuff in a fair bit 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:38.560 of depth in the past. So, I will refer you instead to our G-Sync video, our 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.159 Shield streaming latency test, and our GTX 780 Ti review, which I have all 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:45.840 linked below if you can't click on the annotations, where you can learn more 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:50.799 about all of that stuff. One other interesting thing to note about G-Sync 00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:55.600 in particular, that technology, is that neither of the cards in our showcase 00:01:52.960 --> 00:02:01.119 today support it due to their lack of DisplayPort output. But don't worry, 00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:05.360 there will be 750Ti cards that do. Instead, today I want to focus on what 00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:10.640 exactly NVIDIA has done in order to achieve a 4x improvement in efficiency 00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:16.080 over three generations with only one process shrink. Instead of using a 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:18.480 single control logic block for all 192 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:23.120 cores in its SM or streaming multipprocessors, NVIDIA has created 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:27.599 smaller control logic blocks for 32 cores each. That makes the task of 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:32.879 routing and scheduling traffic easier for each control logic block and allows 00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:38.000 Maxwell to improve performance per core by about 35% leading to NVIDIA's best 00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:43.200 performance per watt GPU ever. It is so efficient it needs only a tiny little 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.560 cooler for its 640 CUDA cores and 2 gigs 00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:49.760 of 5.4 GHz DDDR5 RAM running on a 128 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.840 bit bus. and it doesn't even require a 00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:57.840 six pin PCI Express power connector due to its 60W TDP. The second focus point 00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:01.519 for me is overclocking. The way NVIDIA has locked down overclocking over the 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:06.080 last few generations with respect to maximum voltages and power limits has 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:10.800 been frustrating. So, it's refreshing to see them come out and say this card is a 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:14.720 great overclocker. And I'm excited that we get to show you results from both of 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:19.599 these cards at the same time because they represent two very different 00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:22.159 approaches to graphics card design. The 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:25.760 reference card is very, very small and requires no power connector, so it'll be 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:30.879 compatible with pretty much any PC with a PCI Express slot. ASUS's nonreference 00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:35.200 benefits list continues to be the same as ever. 10 extra bucks gets you 00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:39.519 slightly increased stock clock speeds, a better IO layout, although no display 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:45.120 port still. A better cooler, better PCB design with ASUS's SAP um super alloy 00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:49.360 power components promising cooler operation, longer lifetime, better 00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:53.760 efficiency, and reduced coil wind. But there's more this time. The 750Ti 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:59.280 normally doesn't have that connector, while the ASUS 1 has a PCI Express 6 pin 00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:02.080 connector. However weird the positioning of this connector might be, unless 00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:05.599 you're installing it in a small form factor PC where that's closer to the 00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:09.519 power supply than the back of a card, it'll be interesting to see how more 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:14.640 power affects a card like this when it comes to overclocking and performance. 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:19.440 Spoiler alert, a lot. Stay tuned for exactly how much. These two itty bitty 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.840 graphics cards pack quite a punch. They come on top of both my Far Cry 3 and 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:27.840 Bioshock Infinite benchmarks. And you can tell by looking at these numbers 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:32.080 that that ASUS aftermarket card does gain a lot by having that additional six 00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:35.440 pin power on top of there. If you want to see how much it helps, you can check 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:40.000 out my overclocking doc in the description of the video down below where you can see all of my settings for 00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:43.600 both of the cards and their core clock actual so you can see exactly how fast 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.560 they are running. Maybe you're someone who wants the additional power and wants 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:50.320 to be able to overclock it even more. This card has tons of headroom. And even 00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:55.280 if you don't want that additional power and maybe just want to go with the reference design, it still has a bunch 00:04:53.280 --> 00:05:00.400 of headroom there. This is a very easy card to overclock. I got to run, guys. 00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:03.919 As it is 4:00 a.m. Tuesday and I've been up since Sunday morning working on 00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:07.919 different forum stuff and whatnot. This video has to be edited, uploaded, and 00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:12.000 released by 6:00 a.m. So, we're going to see how I can accomplish that. But, we 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.840 will see. Like and favorite and dislike the video and share and subscribe to the 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:19.280 channel and all of those things. And in addition, I'm not giving up yet. I want 00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:23.520 that second place position for organizations. Uh, check out the PC 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:28.560 gaming section of the linesttips.com forum. Look at the Star Citizen thread 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:33.200 and join the organization. We will be number two. We can make it. I'll talk to 00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:55.919 you guys later. 00:05:55.919 --> 00:05:58.000 Heat.
