Welcome to our first video of computex 2015 and thank you to MSI and linda.com
0:04
for making our coverage of this event possible this year check them out in the
0:07
video description down below we'll be checking out the Gigabyte G1 gaming 980
0:11
TI featuring a new and improved windforce cooler with three fans 5 8 mm
0:16
heat pipes and one 6mm heat pipe a triangular heat sink design and a back
0:22
plate which is not actually standard on 980 TI which will all come together and
0:25
provide 600 watts of thermal dissipation
0:28
I'll cover its thermal performance more in an actual review video Once I'm back
0:32
from comc so stay tuned for that but in terms of Aesthetics it also has some
0:37
more silver accents on the actual like front part of the heat sinks which looks
0:41
pretty sleek and actually makes it look different from other windforce coolers
0:44
which is a little bit of a change maybe not to grill them too much and also the
0:49
logo the Gigabyte logo is back lit with a seven different color LED those colors
0:53
are white teal purple yellow green red
0:56
and blue the RGB colors are controllable through a download
1:00
software utility from Gigabyte not a physical button just so you know and
1:04
there are two physical buttons but they do the same thing one of them is stop
1:07
and the other one is silent they're on each side of the Gigabyte logo and they
1:11
just essentially turn off the fans in terms of the Ral GPU I don't know how
1:16
fast it is the 980 TI is an extremely new GPU and this is an extremely new
1:21
cooler and etc etc etc so they haven't locked down the core clock speed we do
1:25
know that the memory clock speed is still at stock so 7,010 MH
1:30
and it has 6 GB of RAM so it's not an extra memory card but they're still
1:34
playing with that boost clock and I have no idea how fast it actually is so we'll
1:38
see once I get it back into my hands back at the office in terms of IO you've
1:41
got DVI HDMI and DisplayPort along with
1:45
either one DVI or two more display ports
1:48
for a total of a potential five outputs natively I would say that I've done too
1:53
many reviews on windforce cards to actually count and this isn't technically a windforce card because
1:57
it's a G1 card but someone would probably go and actually count it so
2:01
like I said stay tuned for that in the future we'll definitely have a review on
2:04
this card I'm interested to see how high they get that boost clock considering
2:08
how close 980ti actually already is to a Titan X all right guys that's it I'm
2:13
excited to see what else compex has to offer and I think a lot of it is going
2:16
to be different variations of a 980 ti so that's going to be fun to see all
2:20
right thanks again to MSI for sending us here this year we wouldn't be here without them check out all the products
2:24
that they have available at compy Texs here this year at the bitly link down in the description down below also thanks
2:29
to Linda check out linda.com computex for a 10-day free trial let me know on
2:34
Twitter or in the comments down below or over on the Forum or wherever you want
2:37
which card you think is going to rain Supreme at the end of comex cuz I
2:40
believe there's going to be a ton of variations of this GPU also don't forget
2:44
to subscribe like share comment favorite all that good stuff I'll see you guys
2:47
next time
