thank you to Corsair for sending us to computex 2016 this year check out their
0:03
lap dog in the video description down below also thank you to MSI for bringing
0:07
us here they have their graphics card which we're going to check out right now
0:11
we're going to start with their gaming x8g it has a twin frozer 6 cooler a core
0:15
clock of 1847 MHz and a memory clock of
0:19
10,18 the twin frozer 6 cooler has six heat pipes 1 8 mm and 5 6 mm heat pipes
0:26
and they've changed the design a little bit instead of them being like cylindrical Heat pipes right when they
0:31
come in towards the block they turn into basically squares so it has a flat
0:35
design which should have more surface area transfer to the block there has
0:40
also been improvements to the fan blades as you come down the fan blades on half
0:43
of them they kind of dip in a little bit this angle has increased compared to the
0:48
twin frozer 5 design and should theoretically improve cooling they are
0:52
also now dual ball bearing fans we then
0:55
have the gaming Zed HG which is actually right beside it and as far as you guys
0:59
can see right now is aesthetically exactly the same but on the back plate
1:03
on the HG instead of having just a metal dragon logo there's now an RGB color
1:08
Dragon shield outside of that I don't have clock speeds and there are no
1:12
changes to the cooler and the board design is the same but we do know that
1:16
the clock speed will be at least over 1,900 on the core which is pretty sweet
1:21
they're also showing off the MSI high bandwidth SLI Bridge which will allow
1:25
you to basically double the bandwidth that you would normally get over an SLI
1:29
bridge that that is because they are teaming the connections this is good if
1:33
you need to do things like really high resolution surround or other things that
1:37
take up massive amounts of bandwidth between the Cards we'll have a video on
1:41
this and other forms of SLI coming later on on the line of STS Channel next up we
1:45
have the MSI armor 1080 this is slightly lower end than the other two this is now
1:49
a twin frozer 5 instead of twin frozer 6 has a clock speed of 1797 on the core
1:55
and 10,010 on the memory and on the back
1:58
doesn't have a back plate that kind of stuff but should run you a little bit lower in terms of the cost Department
2:02
which would be nice then stepping down one more rung we have the MSI armor 1080
2:07
this is a core clock of 1797 and a memory clock of 10,10 it also features
2:12
your last generation twin frozer 5 cooler so the same heat pipes and fan
2:16
design and all that kind of stuff that you guys are used to and then no back blate this time around and then finally
2:21
we have the MSI Arrow 1080 this is as reference of a reference card you can
2:26
get but it is the MSRP card so you get it for $5.99 if you want a 1080 and you
2:31
want it as cheap as you can get there you go it's running stock speeds of 1733
2:35
on the core and 10,000 to 10 on the memory and is a uh like rear exhaust
2:40
style card so you're not going to be blowing air onto the inside of the case it's going to be ejecting out of the
2:44
back that's it for graphics cards from MSI let me know which one you would go
2:47
for in the comments down below thank you to Corsair again for bringing us here
2:51
this year their lap dog allows you to use a full-size keyboard and mouse like
2:54
their k70 or something to play games on the couch on your TV which is pretty
2:58
cool also thank you to well MSI you've now seen their graphics card video which
3:02
was this one but we're all also going to check out the Aus X desktop in a moment
3:06
so stay subscribed for that
