thank you to Squarespace for sending us the CES 2016 this year check out their
0:03
Link in the video description down below all right guys welcome to Gigabyte they
0:06
have a new graphics card I know it's a 90 TI don't worry about it just keep watching it's fine I'll explain why in a
0:10
moment this is their new Extreme Gaming line of graphics cards it's one step
0:14
above their G1 gaming line this one specifically is a GV n980 txtreme 6gd
0:20
which is a 6 GB 8ci it boosts to 1317
0:24
MHz but if you guys have seen any of my videos on GPU boost that know that mean
0:27
you know that means relatively nothing it'll probably somewhere above there hopefully
0:32
we'll see try one out let me know what you think uh anyways the main
0:35
interesting thing about this is that it has an extended cooler in both length
0:39
and height it's six heat pipes whatever but there's also Angel Eyes now what the
0:44
hell are angel eyes they're LED illuminated rings that are around each
0:47
one of the fans that are RGB controllable this one here has a weird
0:50
dial on it that allows me to change it yours will not be changed that way
0:54
because this is like a weird custom rig thing don't worry about it it's fine
0:57
anyways RGB LED rings around each one of fans that looks super cool other than
1:02
that yeah I'm not going to spend a ton of time on it because the main reason why this is interesting is this platform
1:07
the Angel Eyes the extended cooler the the six pin power that you can add on
1:11
for extra overclocking that is not required to run the C that's on the end
1:14
of the card and the ln2 button and all that kind of fun stuff is going to be
1:18
coming to Pascal when they release those cars whether it's GTX 1080 or whatever
1:21
it is it'll be coming then so stay tuned for that check out their Extreme Gaming
1:24
line maybe later on or if you're in the market for 9ti now maybe that's a
1:29
applicable to you next up if you're a fan of Thunderbolt you might be a fan of
1:33
the ga z170x ud5 th why you might ask
1:38
well Thunderbolt 3 supports speeds of up to 40 gbit per second which is pretty
1:42
sick and this board has support for it over two different USB type-c connectors
1:48
so you can have two different daisy chain setups of Thunderbolt devices on
1:53
one motherboard and this is officially supported by Intel you can see on their
1:57
little card thingy that they have here that has Intel logos on it so yeah
2:02
that's actually kind of cool if you're into Thunderbolt aesthetically it's
2:05
black and gold with some heat sinks that have black with gold accenting on it in
2:09
terms of IO on the back you've got two USB 2.0 one PS2 Port you've got four USB
2:15
3.0 although those are split across two Banks and then your two type-c
2:19
connectors that support USB type-c which are again under those USB 3.0 ports an
2:24
HDMI out a gigabit Ethernet with two
2:27
more USB 2.0 ports under it and then a Bank of audio connectors as well boom
2:33
we're back over here I don't know why don't worry about it Squarespace build it beautiful or maybe build a website
2:38
about teleporting you might have theories as to that you can have a
2:41
custom design to make your website about teleporting look really nice it'll look
2:44
beautiful if you want to sell teleportation devices I don't know about
2:48
the legality of that but you would be able to do that through their Commerce
2:51
module which is pretty cool if you had any problems with that because you spend
2:55
all your time researching teleportation devices instead of building websites you
2:58
could use their live chat support or or email support both of which are 24/7
3:02
which is pretty cool if you buy your website domain for a year which I don't
3:05
know if is that applicable if you have a teleportation device that you need to buy a website for a year but regardless
3:10
you get a domain for free which is also pretty cool anyways Squarespace build it
3:16
beautiful stay subscribed to L techs for all of our CS 2016 content I'll see you
3:20
