Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 980 Ti - First impressions

2015-06-02
welcome to our first video of Computex 2015 and thank you to MSI and lynda.com for making our coverage of this event possible this year check them out in the video description down below we took note the gigabyte g1 gaming 980 TI featuring a new and improved wind forest cooler with three fans five eight millimeter heat pipes and one six millimeter heat pipe a triangular heatsink design and a backplate which is not actually standard on 980ti switch will all come together and provide 600 watts of thermal dissipation i'll cover its thermal performance more in an actual review video once I'm back from Computex so stay tuned for that but in terms of aesthetics it also has some more silver accents on the actual like front part of the heat sinks which looks pretty sleek and actually makes it look different from other windforce coolers which is a little bit of a change maybe not to grill them too much and also the logo that gigabyte logo is backlit with a seven different color LED those colors are white teal purple yellow green red and blue the RGB colors are controllable through a downloadable use software utility from gigabyte not a physical button just so you know and there are two physical buttons but they do the same thing one of them is stop and the other one is silent they're on each side of the gigabyte logo and they just essentially turn off the fans in terms of the actual GPU I don't know how fast it is the 980ti is an extremely new GPU and this is an extremely new cooler and etc etc etc so they haven't locked down the core clock speed we do know that the memory clock speed is still at stock so 7010 megahertz and it has 6 gigabytes of RAM so it's not an extra memory card but they're still playing with that boost clock and I have no idea how fast it actually is so we'll see once I get it back into my hands back at the office in terms of i/o you've got DVI HDMI and DisplayPort along with either one DVI or two more display ports for a total of a potential 5 outputs natively I would say that I've done too many reviews on windforce cards to actually count and this isn't technically a win forest card because the g1 card but someone would probably go and actually count it so like I said stay tuned for that in the future we'll definitely have a review on this card I'm interested to see how high they get that boost clock considering how close 980ti actually already is to a Titan X alright guys that's it to see what else Computex has to offer and i think a lot of it is going to be different variations of a 980ti so that's going to be fun to see alright thanks again to Emma SCI for sending us here this year we wouldn't be here without them check out that all the products that they have available at Computex through this year at the bitly link down in the description down below also thanks to lynda.com check out lynda.com slash Computex for a 10 day free trial let me know on Twitter or in the constant below or over on the forum or wherever you want which card you think is gonna reign supreme at the end of Computex because I believe there's gonna be a ton of variations of this GPU also don't forget to subscribe like share comment favorite all that good stuff I'll see you guys next time
