2015-03-20
hey everyone this is steve from gamers nexus and i just wanted to show off a few high performance pcs that we encountered at gtc 2015 the GPU technology conference hosted in San Jose and we also encountered one of these items at Corsairs offices which there will be separate content online shortly for that visit so during the Titan X announcement shortly thereafter nvidia also unveiled what is called the dev box and this is something that Jensen announced up on stage the CEO of nvidia and the dev box is effectively a $15,000 a high-performance pc that is not intended for gamers it's it's meant for computing tasks simulation high quality renders and things of that nature so to this end really not something you're looking at as a gamer even remotely they actually custom build these they individually build and ship each order so it is not a mass production run and the dep box i believe is equipped with either three or four titan axes it's it's a lot of graphics power so that was seen at the corsair headquarters not far from here and the dev box is already known we just thought we'd show a video of one in existence on the show floor itself we saw three gtx titan x's running a flex demo and flex is one of Nvidia's technologies its i believe part of the game works suite and it is used for physics processing its developers can plug into it to make very accurate very detailed physics effects so in the instance of the shop floors demo it was a water effect they've also shown cereal bowls and milk and things like that in the past it's demonstrating this so this was operating on three GTX Titan axes one of them was doing the simulation and the other two were performing additional support of tasks so pretty cool just to see things working in an SLI capacity of course but nothing major here just thought I'd show there's to everyone because it is a brand new card and a lot of them is neat one thing I notice in looking at the SLI tight and axes was the limited space between each one so you may remember in the article the news article I mentioned that the backplate was ditched on the Titan X and this was done specifically for airflow purposes in sli configurations the 980 had a back plate with a removable piece to allow greater airflow in sli configs but in this instance they just dropped to completely you can see why here because if you had a back plate on there it just it would be suffocating the first or second card if you had three so those are just some high-performance pcs I thought I'd show off pretty cool stuff we'll have more on tight necks and other high-end graphics chips in the near future as in probably next week so do stay tuned for that and I will see you all next time
