what's up guys so if you've been watching the channel for more than a year or so you're probably familiar with hotlines my custom water-cooled gaming PC sporting the best hardware for its time the core i7 59 60 X and 2 gtx 980ti but when it comes to the diehard enthusiast community most of us know that certain PC parts like CPUs and GPUs typically have a short reign before they're killed up for better Hardware a longtime trend in the PC market that I'm sure gives george RR martin a throbbing gristle my point is that since the arrival of Broadwell ian pascal my custom rig now seems more outdated than the drivers on your parent's pc now I may be exaggerating just a tad but all this new hardware made me extremely curious to know exactly what difference in gaming performance one generational leap makes so to find out i've pitted my x99 testbed equipped with Intel's 10 core 69 50 X and two GTX 1080s in sli against hotline the previous title holder for fastest PC in Kyle's house sorry pal here's an overall look at the hardware from each contender running on the x99 chipset with 16 gigs of ram both CPUs and video cards have been manually overclocked and will likely have the greatest impact on performance with viagra coming in at a close second now I did want to mention that these benchmarks were run before I had access to a high bandwidth sli bridge so I used a rigid dual finger bridge on the GTX 1080s instead while I haven't tested this for myself a well done video from hardware unboxed found that using to flex sli bridges on to a gtx 1080s yields the exact same performance gains found with the new high bandwidth bridge so there's a good chance my rigid connector is more than adequate with that said each system has undergone a series of crushing 4k benchmarks along with some synthetic tests but before we see how they've scored here's a quick look at Mac's system power draw with our new PC hitting 541 watts and hotline spiking to 718 now maximum power draw doesn't reflect the average power consumption of these systems but it does provide at least a small glimpse of the power efficiency improvements we're seeing over the maximal architecture good-for-you pascal and 3d mark fire strike ultra the new system pulls ahead by a large margin topping 10,000 points in both the overall and graphics score meanwhile hot line here looks sluggish in comparison performing 27% slower than the competition our test bed takes the lead once again in Unigine Heaven albeit by a smaller margin this time seeing a percent increase over hotline this was the most neck-and-neck our systems got throughout our testing in gta5 we see some mad gains with the Pascal based PC pumping out 16 more frames per second making it 31 percent faster in this particular title even though hot line managed to score a higher minimum frame rate in hitman the beatings continue like the end of a peaceful protest with a 26 percent lead for the GTX 1080s resulting in 77 frames compared to this piece of just barely topping 60 FPS with the settings more or less maxed out the testbed churns out a whopping eighty seven frames per second in Metro last light not only is this an impressive 22 percent gain over hotline it's also just nice to see a system deliver well above 60 fps at 4k our final game tested was Crysis 3 and as we saw in Metro last light the new system performed 22% faster topping 70 FPS with an impressive minimum frame rate of 53 averaging the scores of all the real world games tested today our new PC was 25% faster than hotline well I have seen more devastating leads like the ones in the new Ghostbusters movie I hinted earlier that these results really bring home the possibility of triple-a 4k gaming at max settings something I've really never been able to do comfortably even with hotline of course all these extra games come at a price don't they so when calculating the frames per dollar of each rig I only included the cost of the CPUs and GPUs since again those parts have the greatest impact on our gaming performance with the cheapest GTX 10 80s priced online at six hundred and fifty dollars and the 69 50 X carrying an insane price tag of sixteen hundred and fifty our testbed managed 0.18 frames per dollar in our testing with the gtx 980ti priced as low as 480 dollars and the 59 60 X at 1015 Hotline scored an F PD of 0.23 a better value than the new rig by about 28% certainly the extreme cost of the new 10 core chip is what's holding back the price to performance of this system and while it does kick the 59 60 X's ass in certain workstation tasks its impact on gaming performance alone is likely not worth the extra go for most people's budgets if you happen to be upgrading from a last gen monster like hotline it makes much more sense to keep the CPU and swap out the video cards for some gtx 1080s for example which will do most of the heavy lifting and handle pretty much anything you throw at it metaphorically speaking personally I don't think I'll be upgrading hotline to the latest hardware anytime soon since she still dominates every game on my quad HD monitor back there but it is nice to know what kind of experience I can expect if I ever take the plunge that is gonna do it for now guys so let me know what you think of these results down below don't forget to toss me a like on this video if you
