this is an exciting time to be a PC Hardware Enthusiast ryzen is right
0:04
around the corner Vega is on the way and we are here right now at the NVIDIA GTX
0:09
1080 TI launch NVIDIA claims this is the biggest improvement from a TI series
0:13
launch ever and that makes sense as the 1080 and the 1080ti have almost nothing
0:18
in common at all they aren't based on the same GPU they aren't running the
0:22
same memory bus width I mean the ti even has two power connectors to The Standard
0:26
1080s 1 this is an exciting but probably really expensive of day let's run
0:31
through all of the things that we know about NVIDIA's new
0:43
flagship the new master keys prom RGB
0:46
and pro s white from Cooler Master are coming soon check out their current
0:50
lineup at the link below first off let's dive into the specs as you might have
0:55
expected this card is a lot closer to the Titan XP than it is to a standard
0:59
GTX 10 80 but even then it's not that close it has the same gp102 core and it
1:04
shows the same amount of Cuda cores at 3584 the same 12 billion transistors and
1:10
224 texture units with the same TDP of
1:13
250 WTS but then the clock speed is
1:16
slightly higher at 1600 MHz for Boost
1:19
and there are a few less RS at 88 instead of 96 there are also changes in
1:24
terms of IO NVIDIA removed the DVI
1:27
connector and replaced it with nothing nothing that's right folks NVIDIA has
1:32
abandoned DVI and left the user with three display ports and one HDMI port
1:36
for your convenience they have included a DisplayPort to DVI adapter in the Box
1:41
however so you've got that going for you which is nice but moving on regardless
1:46
we've got the memory setup which is also a little bit odd you've got 11 gigs of
1:51
gddr5x vram running at 11 GBS per second
1:55
they've accomplished this through Channel optimization Equalization
1:58
techniques and having minimal noise noise but that my friends is not the
2:02
whole story for memory they've also implemented tiled caching which should
2:06
improve cach locality and reduce memory traffic overall by better utilizing
2:10
their L2 cache then there's the new thermal design with Vapor chamber
2:15
Cooling and 2x the cooling area as I'm
2:18
assuming the 1080 as they didn't actually specify this is not the same
2:23
cooler as the Titan XP and they promise increased performance over that as well
2:27
the Benchmark that they gave us put a 1080 running at higher than normal TDP
2:31
and well above the standard max temperature spec NVIDIA usually sets
2:35
against a 1080 TI that was running below its TDP and again at a higher than
2:39
normal temperature so I guess we'll wait till we get it back in the office to
2:43
really judge it there they also have a new 7-phase power delivery setup which
2:46
is all dual fets which should help it be more power efficient than all other
2:51
Pascal cards in their lineup then it got juicy they showed us performance numbers
2:55
and they were pretty damn impressive compared to a 1080 they're claiming that it's about 35% % faster when compared to
3:02
other 1080 launches like 900 series and 700 series they were 25 and 18
3:07
respectively also just as a note Founders edition cards will be the first
3:10
ones available directly from NVIDIA and they will be priced right at MSRP they
3:14
also announced a bunch of stuff on the software side of things but most of it
3:17
is for developers like shadowplay and anel having their own public sdks so
3:22
that developers can Implement them into their games at will and something called
3:25
NVIDIA aftermath that gives game developers the ability to classify GPU
3:29
crash es by location and type if the user has elected to upload those files
3:34
then there is my personal favorite FCAT VR which is related to standard FCAT but
3:40
obviously tuned for VR it has runtime
3:43
frames rendered frames and software capture indicators in three different
3:47
locations on the screen then you just open the CSV files that it outputs in
3:51
their FCAT data analyzer and you've got a relatively easy to use and accurate
3:56
way to Benchmark VR which is awesome because we have not had that until
4:00
now Squarespace because you need to build a website and you really want 24/7
4:06
live chat and email support and you want to pay like somewhere around 12 bucks a
4:11
month and you want to buy it for a year and when you buy it for a year you want
4:15
to get a free domain included you want it to look fine on everything someone's
4:19
going to view the website on a watch a tablet a phone a console a desktop
4:25
whatever you want to be able to sell things through your website you want to
4:28
have the potential to have One Singular page that just looks wonderful all the
4:34
time and you want to be able to publish your Apple news format stuff directly to
4:39
Squarespace through their included module well you can do all of that go to
4:42
squarespace.com and use offer code LTT to get 10% off of your first purchase
4:46
because you also wanted a discount and then they flat refus to
4:51
tell us the MSRP or when the card would be released so we have to watch the live
4:57
stream just like you guys do to get that information and then once I have that
5:01
information we will finish up this video in terms of filming we will import it
5:05
all to the computer edit it render it and upload it to YouTube
