here we are in the lab again this is the NCIX pc 40-50 so this is the performance package here now the performance package has a couple of differences over the base package for one thing it takes the 6850 that comes in the base package and upgrades it to a 6870 it takes the 1055t 6 core processor and upgrades it to a 10-9 dt it takes the OEM style memory without heat spreaders and fanciness and it adds well heat spreaders and fanciness so that's pretty cool and it also bumps up the power supply to AC sonic 6 20 watt power supply which is extremely quiet extremely high quality and just generally extreme good sleeping and all of that good stuff so what the NCIX pc facebook guy as you may or may not know him i actually have no idea what alias he uses but he's the one who does a lot of the work on our system prototyping and evaluation so he's got me running the crisis benchmark here what he wanted me to point out about this particular system is that here i'm going to go ahead and quit this we had that running so crisis benchmark with the latest ah with the latest patch is he wanted me to show you with 4x anti-aliasing all details maxed this system at this price point is actually able to achieve average frames per second of over 30 FPS but that's not really the most impressive part the most impressive part is that the minimum frames per second is actually 25 FPS so if you check out some of the videos on my blog about the 6870 i actually did a performance review and i apologize but my graphs did not include minimum FPS for all of the benchmarks iran but they probably should have because the average FPS for the 6870 looks very competitive but when you bear in mind that when you get into a very crowded area or anything bad happens in general the frame rate tends to dip well really that's your performance bottleneck in terms of your frame rate so if you have a card that runs at average 30 frames per second and another card that runs an average 30 frames per second but this one only dips as low as and the other one dips to 10 when things get crowded well it's pretty obvious which one's a better card so that means that even though you can say average FPS 30 isn't good enough if it only dips to 25 in the most intense parts that's pretty darn good he also ran Vantage with a couple different configs I think but this is the one for the 6870 single card so it scores a performance score of about fifteen point three thousand and we'll do a separate video once he's actually got it installed this particular system is going to feature in the half 922 case so it should look pretty sweet once it's installed in there by masseuse motherboard so you've got the cool design elements on all of the MOSFET coolers all of that good stuff very stylish-looking as well as the 6870 that's they're all reference cards right now so no matter which 60 70 you get it's going to look like this and personally I think the reference cooler looks pretty sweet don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips and don't forget to check out the NCIX pc facebook page we can totally create more characters so henceforth the guy holding the camera I can tell you this is not actually cameraman that's not cameraman this is our NCIX pc guy and he's not in front of the camera so he gets to be whatever I decide to call him so henceforth his nickname will be crazy Russian crazy Russian has reminded me that the performance edition also includes a WD caviar black hard drive with 64 megs of cash while as whereas the basic edition does not include a black series hard drive
