so spec wise they're not really saying a whole lot here because I don't really know how much they've changed about the cooler I've only seen this in footage from Nvidia's teaser so is it all cosmetic or are there actual changes to the design of the card I love the case this is the kind of thing where you feel like an idiot for for pulling it out but the thing about collector's edition computer hardware is that unless it ends up being a very very iconic piece of hardware like an original Mac I would say in terms of bang for the buck you're better off taking it out of the package and enjoying it because it's not gonna go up in value for not breaking the seal I'm actually kind of liking this I thought the the aged finish that they put on it looked kind of tacky in the video but in person that actually looks not half bad like they've got a pretty convincing effect on here I'm not quite sure how they did this like it must be it must be a paint application but it looks really good what's this is this the thing that you're supposed to instructions not included got penis stuck in the little port on the top no it doesn't it doesn't look like that's the thing you take off so the backplate this is a funny thing they actually printed the Star Wars logo as though it's going to stay in the case forever what a weird thing because the text is gonna be upside down when you install this in a case that is some that is some classic you know video card mistake stuff right there so the cooler doesn't look fundamentally redesigned they've got oh this is interesting they've got this cover over the fan that looks like it would make it hard to install two of them side-by-side not that I think too many people would order like a bunch of these and put them in a system but that heatsink looks pretty similar oh there's no DVI port on the back how interesting alright so let's go ahead and throw this on to our Zenith extreme testbench here oh come on unplug the cord dang it then we can have a look at the lighting effects okay time to fire it up yeah did not think that one through with respect to the positioning of our power cable here is looking not too shabby so they've got LED lighting all around the fan they've got LED lighting under the grill here oh look at the way you can actually see the way they've wired it in so they've just got a little a little tiny like hard PCB LED strip going on there and then they've just got it wired up inside the heatsink so there it is Unigine super position running on the Titan XP collector's edition but wait there's more ah yes so I don't have to speculate that the Galactic Empire one looks better I get to actually find out in person oh this I'm excited about I mean as excited as I can be about Nvidia totally getting it wrong Jedi Order and Galactic Empire are not I mean yeah they're like good guys and bad guys but they're like from different eras of the Star Wars universe what is the deal with that I don't know what it is and maybe it's just the fact that it like doesn't look so banged up gives it more sex appeal maybe it's just that I actually like in most cases I hate the glossy black but man does that ever work here with the glossy black on the Titan X glossy black around the fan you've got that I've always liked the dark nickel coating on the fins on the vapor chamber cooler like this card just looks so good it I had actually thought from the video that the heatsink designs were more different but this one this one just is better check this out this is a metal piece on the Galactic Empire one check this out check this out so this is metal on here and it's just like a plastic plug on the Jedi Order one alright let's shut it down and let's do the unthinkable nvidia sli on a high-end AMD platform running Galactic Empire and Jedi Order graphics cards could anything be more wrong than this moment right now the answer is no oh it's beautiful it's like Christmas it's like my Christmas because cuz it's because it's black agree like Christmas also because it's exciting also it's like mid-november so it's clearly Christmas if you go to a store updating LED firmware so this one does an LED have firmware I mean I guess you need firmware if your LED looks like that alright fine fair enough ASIS Boop now let's get some SLI going here I got a snap a picture of this for the Instagram I shoulda known this was gonna happen this this is what you can expect when you put the light side in the dark side together okay look at this it's like it's like a half the horizontal resolutions is broken okay let's let's try this again why don't we try plugging the HDMI cable into what is clearly the dominant card which apparently is the dock side all right I don't have to stall for time anymore it's done maximize 3d performance all right let's try again and now that's the TV that's not the computer working that's a it's a TV screen saver what you gotta be kidding me well hi watch my light pardon okay be clear I love my life but this is the kind of crap that I deal with this is supposed to be the simplest thing ever plug in two graphics cards and be like ah the Jedi Order and the Galactic Empire they're working together I mean I guess this is kind of funnier anyway this is not the last time you've seen these cards what I want actually is your guys's suggestions for what you want to see us do with them so leave those in the comments and maybe you will see your idea executed by being flung out of a window Mace Windu's to hell
