thank you to MSI for sending us here to computex this year and also thank you to
0:03
linda.com so the computex convention center just closed that was our last day
0:08
here so we have to make this video and we are making the video about Galax now
0:13
Galax has a new VR headset called Vision are you surprised they have a VR headset
0:17
cuz I freaking was I did not expect Galax to have a VR headset it might
0:21
remind you a lot of an Oculus headset and that's not too surprising it looks
0:25
very similar although it does look a little bit tacky with some glossy
0:28
plastic Here There and the front of it actually just being a sticker but that's
0:31
probably excusable as this is their developer kit Edition and much like dk1
0:36
it's a little bit rough around the edges in terms of spec it has a 25 millisecond
0:39
response time 1080p monitor with 60 HZ of refresh rate 100° field of view and
0:45
it connects through HDMI 1.4b and USB 2.0 it weighs 380 G without the cable
0:50
and headband and yeah so that probably
0:54
doesn't sound super amazing but that
0:58
might actually be okay an Oculus Rift is
1:01
actually fairly expensive and this Vision kit is targeted at a 200 USD
1:06
price point which is really aggressive is it worth it I actually don't know yes
1:12
it's quite cheap but it's quite cheap I
1:16
don't actually know if it's necessarily worth buying it's a little low spec for
1:19
me it might be worth investing a little bit more money and a big problem that I
1:24
actually have with it and the reason why I'm not so sure about it is that game
1:28
compatibility it it's compatible with some Oculus games but definitely not all
1:32
of them and I assume that once the Oculus consumer version comes out and
1:36
once the Vive consumer version comes out those are going to be able to play some
1:41
pretty high-end games that this is not going to be compatible with and those
1:44
games are going to be more actual games instead of just Tech demos so if you're
1:48
a developer looking to get into developing for very cheap maybe this
1:52
actually makes sense this is the Developer Edition after all but if you're a gamer looking for a device I'm
1:57
not so sure that being said they will be releasing SDK in the future so people
2:01
can develop for this but again that's a lot of sdks just for VR and it's going
2:05
to be a little bit hard of a push moving on we have their graphics cards I think
2:09
this might be the fourth or fifth 980 TI version that we've seen at the show so
2:13
far and they have an air Cooling and water cooling Edition their air cooling
2:16
Edition has dual 8 Pin power and 8 phase for those eight pin Powers it's more or
2:21
less the same cooler that we've seen before on Hall of Fame edition cards
2:25
with two and a half slots a hyper boost button on the back and it has some new
2:30
kind of styled Chrome finishing it had that before but it looks a little bit different now I also have to note that
2:34
there's no announced clock speeds for this card moving on to the water cooling
2:38
Edition it has a custom water block from bits power which actually looks pretty
2:42
freaking cool it's a two slot card instead of two and a half slots it has
2:46
three eight pin power connectors instead of two and it has 16 phase power instead
2:51
of eight also it's a limited edition so
2:54
I don't know how many are actually going to be available and this one also has no
2:57
announced clock speeds let me know what you guys think think about Vision in the
3:00
comments down below or on Twitter at Luke LFR also thank you to MSI for
3:04
sending us here this year we would not have been able to see the vision without
3:08
them and they have a cool little product Link in the video description down below
3:11
this video that's the bitly link that can show you everything that they launched here at computex also they have
3:16
stuff like Broadwell laptops and stuff so you might want to actually check that out linda.com they also helped us get
