now that we're done with event travel for at least a month we are back to catch up on some news so the first thing of course was until opt in for the week that was announced on sunday the P 4800 xdrive that's covered in a separate video not going over that again here today we're focusing on rise and updates that would be efi changes on the asus and gigabyte boards also be talking about 10 a TTI launches from different vendors for their AIB partner cards and then we have some news on a mini Polaris GPU speaking of 1080i launched as though this video is brought to you by EVGA GTX 1080 ti FTW 3 card using the new ITX temperature monitoring solution for vrm and vram thermals the cara de should become available within the next few weeks link in the description below for more information on that let's start off with some rising news since that's gotten the most buzz lately asus has been pushing efi updates almost non-stop since rise in the r7 chips launched and their newest one is for the crosshair six boards the one that we've been using them our testing this newest efi update improves the auto overclocking functionality and overall over Calculon memory higher speed frequency stability with the rising platform more than the previous updates would allow in terms of at least two auto OC and auto voltage and things like that acs noted that version 5704 was still talking higher for them with manual tuning but this is a seven right direction for the complete update the efi this screenshots i was sent to us by asus demonstrates improvements in the new efi revs auto OC settings which allowed the company to hit 3.9 gigahertz on an r 7 1700 while running a 1.3 95b core memory is a bit more interesting here acs was able to achieve a 3200 megahertz frequency with manual eat into timings on a g.skill kit this kit was with bside dies so this is a samsung the b-side dye kit these do better with overclocking better with higher frequencies on the rising platform then the hynix kids currently do asus will launch a final march efi update with all the AMD generic capsulated that software architecture code changes so we're waiting for that final push before updating our own test platform and that's the update that will contain all the recent changes from this month hopefully in one build gigabyte also has an update to its X 370 gaming 5 board which comes in the form of an f5 d efi Rev that's in beta currently previously it was at 5c which was also beta Rev so they are working toward a stable f5 raveh efi and generally the story is the same here as it is for all the other motherboard vendors right now which is memory support is improved with that 5d just like memory supporters improves with most other efi updates on the X 370 mp3 fizzy platforms today the next segment of product launch is to talk about are the 1080p is we're going to breeze through a few of these we don't have any of these in hand yet though are expecting a few of them it's not all of them at some point and basically we're looking at the Asus gigabytes and msi variants of the 1080i EVGA as we've previously spoken about which was the 1080 TI FTW 3 that's a 3 fan cooler gigabyte has a new rs3 fan cooler ACS has a 3 fan cooler so that seems to be a bit of a trend for this generation of TI cards gigabytes 1080i or extreme edition will host 3 fans it takes three full slots with its thicker cooler and we're still waiting on review samples for the card but we know so far that it will host a DVI connector where the fe card did not the founders edition card and the most notable changes just again the thickness of the card this card with its three fans looks to be using about 90 millimeter fan diameters the center fan rest below the top two fans and a tan inverse orientation that will have to wait till we get hands-on to see how it actually performs and how the noise levels are a significant portion of the heat sink is covered by the shroud which is something we hope to look more into if we receive that sample and alongside Gigwise RS cards there's the new msi 1080 TI gaming x which sports the usual twin frozer dual fan cooler design that we've detailed several times in the past the MSI card that looks to be using a mix of the old r9 390 X heat sync with the newer twin frozr fans and shroud this card also appears that fatter than previous 10 series gaming x coolers which is made more noticeable by its back plate and the fake baseplate flanking the PCB there are two 8-pin power connectors present on the card it will have a pre overclock and that's about all we know about it right now finally the new asus 1080i rog Strix and acs 1080i turbo cards have also been showcased recently the naming scheme is the same as previous aces cards the turbo is a blower style cooler with a plastic shroud the DB low-end market we're not sure if asus is targeting a lower price on the fe card maybe with the help of rebates seeing as the reference card actually has a good PCB this time it'll be a bit of a challenge for the AV partners to compete with Nvidia's own reference model the strict card is a different story this one uses yet another three fan cooling design you don't know a ton about this one yet other than yes it will have a pre OC one is on the way for review and it will support the aura sink RGB lighting that 80's has been pushing lately that's about all we know for today this borders more on rumours than news but it's close enough at this point that it might as well be news there was a leak on compy bench which is a website that contains some compute benchmarks and things like that of an alleged RX 500 series card it's not really named it doesn't really have a GPU identifier yet but it is a polaris card it looks like our x 500 assuming the leak is to be believed and in theory that card will be hosting pensee used with 640 stream processors so at that sort of size for the GPU it would theoretically ship below the RS 4 60 in price and target market because it's going to be less powerful than an RX for 60 but that's really all we know right now so that is a bit of a leak the arch 500 series theoretically will exist at some point it's rumored to be a polaris refresh not a complete brand new series with Vega taking on its architecture name vega as the video card branding in other brief news the thermaltake Korpi 1tg that we saw CES is finally shipping and ended up being priced at around a hundred dollars we like the unit where it's wall mount capabilities and smaller form factors of the nature of being accessible like a test bench is also appealing aside from this course is that now shipping the K 6310 keyless keyboard which is a plastic shell rather than the company's usual aluminum focus the k63 will use a cherry MX red switches perky LED backlighting the color red only on this one and dedicated media keys the price tag for the K 63 looks to be about eighty dollars though you could buy the slightly older k 65 aluminum-bodied keyboard for seventy dollars if you prefer that and if RGB is a necessity obviously step up into 100 120 dollar range for other course their offerings so that's all for this news
