with its Factory tuning and data center DNA an Intel 730 series SSD is an
0:11
amazing choice for gamers and performance enthusiasts with its pitc
0:16
core featuring a 256-bit memory bus 1,24
0:20
stream processors 2 gigs of dddr 5 memory and a 900 to 925 MHz clock speed
0:27
depending on Boost levels the R7 265 is
0:30
actually more closely related to the
0:33
r9270 than to the r7260x I might have already known this
0:38
if I paid attention to the lessons on number rounding in elementary school but
0:42
even if I had it's not like we covered how rounding works when the number also
0:45
contains a letter anyway at any rate the card is closer in specs to a 270 and
0:49
closer in price to a 260x so that means our Sapphire dual x card should be a
0:55
very solid option from a price to Performance standpoint of course we've
0:59
got support from for all the usual AMD features including easy Affinity with no
1:03
required DisplayPort adapters Crossfire with up to two graphics cards working
1:07
together direct X11 now with a future upgrade to direct X12 compatibility
1:12
powertune technology that keeps your power consumption down and optimizes
1:16
your performance AMD's mantle technology and finally excellent open C performance
1:21
like most non-reference cards the real Secret Sauce here is the dual x cooler
1:26
this dual slot design is one that we've actually seen before and it proves in
1:30
our testing and overclocking to be both cool and quiet it features two thick
1:34
heat pipes directly over top of the GPU core that each carry heat out to one of
1:39
the two 80 mm fans and to Aid both vrm
1:42
Cooling and card rigidity its power delivery area heat sink is directly
1:47
attached to the cooler for the GPU core a nice touch but of course me telling
1:51
you how great it is isn't as good as me handing the video over to Luke to tell
1:55
you exactly how it's stacked up in our testing so without further Ado I will
1:59
bid you a do all right guys this card performed pretty much exactly as
2:04
expected for the overclockers out there I recommend using AMD overdrive and
2:08
inside of AMD overdrive you'll probably get about these settings so you're going
2:11
to increase your power limit by about 20% move your core clock to 150 and
2:16
memory to 1500 that's an improvement on your core clock of 125 and that's also
2:21
an improvement on your memory of 100 which is pretty solid and again quite as
2:24
expected performan is at about the same story so we're sitting right in between
2:28
a 260 and and a 270 leaning more on the 270 side of things and again that's as
2:34
expected as it's a lot closer to 270 but it's pretty impressive we knew this was
2:38
coming um but it's a solid card are you still using this I mean
2:45
okay I looked it up a razor is for removing hair from your face this is
2:48
going to remove your face from the hair I mean how long have you had this thing
2:53
uh for longer than I've known you okay well that explains why they kept trying
2:57
to give you change on that last trip that we we were
3:00
on I'm kind of filming right now yeah
3:04
and I know that I scripted this whole thing well that make sense because I'm
3:08
now using my new razor from the Dollar Shave Club CIT that you actually gave me
3:12
and it's working quite well that's not even the line but the point is yes I did
3:16
give you that razor and I'm glad you mentioned that speaking of Dollar Shave
3:20
Club it's the fast ew inexpensive way to
3:23
save time and save money see what I did there fast and inexpensive way to save
3:28
time and save money I mean that's a redundancy with Dollar Shave Club for
3:31
only a few bucks a month you can have top quality razor blades delivered right
3:35
to your door I mean this
3:42
process looks much more efficient than driving down to the store waiting 18
3:46
minutes for an employee to unlock the razor cartridge for you then driving back home to remove hair from your face
3:51
head buttocks or any other equally manly part of your body speaking of manly
3:55
there is nothing unmanly about smelling nice so you should check out their shave
3:58
butter while you're at it it's softens the hairs for easy shaving and goes on
4:02
clear so you can see what you're doing thank you and if your face is going to
4:05
smell nice you might as well make sure your butt doesn't stink too one wipe
4:09
Charlie's are peppermint scented preist and butt wipes for me I mean men I think
4:13
the line is men it doesn't matter anyway is it Dollar Shave club.com Linus to
4:17
start shaving time and shaving money instead of shaving your facial features
4:20
away how's the new razor you got you got with Forex right yeah good my work here
4:25
is done okay guys well thank you for
