a cool little video where we cover what you get for spending more on a GeForce
0:15
GTX graphics card okay sure you get more performance you know whatever more
0:19
performance more memory these are all good things but what you actually get if
0:23
you go for a GTX 670 is you get an extremely stylish GeForce GTX logo
0:28
printed on the side the plastic shroud of your video card all right what do you
0:32
get for stepping up to a GTX 680 well
0:35
you get a glossy plastic shroud and a
0:39
textured GeForce logo that really pops out of the side now if you drop
0:45
,000 on a GTX Titan or GTX 690 you get a
0:50
glowing logo on the side of your aluminum shroud graphics card I mean you
0:55
also get six gigs of RAM on the Titan which in this case is what we have but
1:00
now is the but wait there's more moment
1:04
because with the EVGA LED controller this was actually released a while ago
1:08
we've been meaning to do a Blog video about it for a bit here you can now
1:11
control the LED on the card so here stay
1:15
here and I'm going to show you all the different modes so in manual control you
1:18
just drag the slider and the illumination changes in frame rate per
1:22
second control it goes up with higher FPS and down with lower with GPU clock
1:27
it raises with your Boost clock and lowers with your not boost clock with
1:31
LED breathing you can control the timing of the breaths anywhere from 10
1:35
milliseconds all the way up to 5 Mill
1:38
500 milliseconds so half of a second and
1:41
then you can do GP utilization which goes up with GP utilization and down
1:46
with not GP utilization okay so go and check out the card check out the card guys this is pretty cool so I'm in
1:51
manual control mode now I've got it all the way off I'm going to go ahead I'm
1:54
going to show you guys kind of 25% here's 50% here's
2:00
75% and 100% is extremely vibrant
2:03
extremely bright next down we've got frame rate per second so we're not going
2:07
to show you that one just this at this moment LED breathing here's a fast
2:11
breathe so this is a 10 millisecond
2:16
breathe okay now I'm going to show you guys a bit of a slower breathe so this
2:19
is about 100 milliseconds and the LED
2:22
controller utility runs in the system tray you can set it to apply it startup
2:26
I really wish that they would have integrated this with EVGA Precision
2:29
rather than having a dedicated tool for it but uh you know it is what it is um
2:34
and then GP utilization and we're back to manual control so here let's go ahead
2:38
and try GPU utilization and uh so we're set to that
2:42
and I'm going to launch a game so you can see right now it's quite dim so I'm
2:45
firing up crisis here and that should in
2:49
theory uh brighten up let's see if we
2:52
can like shoot some explosive arrows and whatnot and see if that does anything oh
2:58
there we go yep it's brightening very cool so thank you for checking out

videos and I don't know why you have so much trouble with that turret all the
3:14
time can't you just take it out with the gun oh now okay now I'm
3:20
understanding we're we're going to leave now
