Vesta 6050 so we have some new options
0:04
available with this system from NC you guys remember we showed you the
0:07
Prototype process as well as some of the uh design procedures that we go through
0:11
here at NCI so we actually have a new graphics card that came out today this
0:16
is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 so we've
0:20
got a couple of those so we're showing the performance edition of this Tower
0:26
which features the tx850 W power supply the storage Drive dual cards h70 as well
0:32
as H faster memory all right so this all comes in the fractal design Define XL
0:36
case now there's another thing that came out today and I wish this video was a
0:41
little bit better than it is because what happened is 3D Mark 11 came out and
0:46
we were like yeah okay let's throw some GTX 570s in the Vesta 6050 prototype and
0:52
let's find out how well it runs except that SLI is not supported in 3D Mark 11
0:57
on the GTX 570 just yet so we got under
1:02
the extreme preset a score of
1:05
1,687 so remember we are running an i7 950 processor we've got 12 gigs of RAM
1:11
and we've also got for all intents and purposes a single GTX 570 so I can go
1:17
ahead and uh let's start running 3D Mark
1:20
11 here if I can figure out how to do it there we go run extreme so I want to
1:25
obviously we're not going to make it all the way through the test but I want to talk a little bit about the different
1:28
tests so test number one has no tessellation heavy lighting from
1:33
multiple sources and so remember 3D Mark
1:36
11 is a direct x 11 Benchmark so we're
1:39
actually even though test number one doesn't have any tessellation other
1:43
tests are using tessellation so test two
1:46
and test three both use medium tessellation with medium lighting and
1:50
then with one light and then test number four uses extensive tessellation with
1:55
many different lights so actually here yeah you can see test number one is
1:59
running at a whopping 9 FPS uh so we can
2:04
check out those submarines I uh I can't wait until it's like every every 3D Mark
2:09
releas is like this you're like oh man this looks so cool I can't wait till I
2:12
can actually like see what's going on
2:16
because I have a decent frame rate so uh yeah I can't wait for like GTX 980 or
2:21
whatever where we're finally going to be able to see what it looks like when it's running butter smooth anyway there's two
2:26
CPU tests which has been the tradition um well at least for the last release of
2:31
3D Mark so the first one does a lot of rigid body physics um there's a fixed
2:35
resolution so no matter what preset you're running at it's going to run at the same low res because it is only
2:41
testing the physics calculations and then unlike the previous 3D Mark Vantage
2:46
the other physics test also has by the
2:49
way it supports direct compute so that means your graphics card is going to chip in whether you're using envidia or
2:54
ATI but it also runs at the resolution
2:58
of the rest of the tests it does some physx stuff but it also has a lot of
3:02
other stuff going on including tessellation and including lighting effects so that's pretty cool because
3:07
that one is probably the closest out of everything here to what a real gaming
3:13
workload is going to look like because it relies both on the CPU as well as the
3:17
GPU in order to do all of the rendering
3:21
and calculations and all that good stuff so thanks for checking out this little
3:24
video on our 3D Mark 11 score with the
3:28
GTX 570 I guess it was also kind of an overview of 3D Mark 11 as a whole and
3:33
don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips for unboxings reviews and other
3:37
computer videos and I don't know why this is here and I don't know why this
3:41
is here can I have my head back
3:44
no
