that's right guys we have another update from the NCIX pc lab so this is the vesta i 7 50 50 and what we've aimed to do with this particular system is create a flexible platform where users can for the same price either choose a g-force solution which is what we have running on the bench right now or a radio on solution so it's going to be available in a couple of different configurations that are going to be priced exactly the same so basically you're going to get all of this configuration plus either graphic card so it has a core i7 960 so with the recent price drop on the 960 you can now get a 960 at 3.2 gigahertz for the same price as the 950 I mean even though both cpus have been out in the market for a similar time the 950 is not going to drop any further it's just going to pretty much be phased out and the 960 is going to be a replacement so you get a little bit more value for your dollar that way we're going to be using a cool it eco liquid cooling kit once we get it installed in the real case which is going to be an NZXT phantom white right there so we're going to have liquid cooling on that CPU so if you wanted to do some overclocking once you get your system then be our guest we're going to be using mush can enhance silver lion memory so this is ddr3 1333 very low voltage kit only a 1.5 volt kit so you're going to be able to have overclocking Headroom on that as well the system is all about overclocking you can see right here we've got an asus sabertooth tough series motherboard once again all about overclocking now speaking of overclocking or using a very high quality power supply which is one of the things that is necessary for pushing a system past its regular limits so it's a seasonic 620 wat and as you can see from our power meter here the absolute maximum power draw we've managed to achieve with this system from the wall is 391 wats so since this is an 80 plus bronze power supply that means that we're looking at about about 65 vishwas maybe about 70 watts less than this in terms of actual power draw from the power supply itself so only about 330 watts which means you still have plenty of overhead even to add an additional graphics card if you want and the power supply will operate quite silently so you can see here we're running lost planet two very demanding directx11 title we've scored a rank of a in the test b benchmark and let me just show you guys what setting we're actually running all of this at so i'm going to show you the settings uh crazy russian says he's got it maxed out at 1280 by 720 what the deuce casey so crazy russian hardcore failed running it at the wrong resolution you can see we're running the benchmark again now at 1920 x 1200 which would be a proper pc gaming resolution not 1280 by 720 ok so anyway let's keep talking about the config while this runs and we'll show you the overall score at the end so we're going to be shipping this configuration with a 60 gig ocz vertex to SSD as well as a WD green one terabyte drive for storage now I realize we're not running off the SSD right now but there's a very good reason for that which I'm not going to get too far into basically crazy Russian didn't bother to install the OS on the SSD so that's okay we're running our benchmarks without it what else do we got here did you do oh yeah if you guys want to check out the relative performance of these two cards on a like test platform you can check out my video review actually the gtx 560ti where I cover these two cards as well as the 560 TI in a variety of modern games I think when we left off we were just going to talk about the performance so why don't we actually hold off on filming until this is done and we'll show you guys how this setup performs in the demanding ever demanding lost planet 2 directx 11 game alright so there we go we ranked be which means that the game is very playable ok so we rarely dip below the 45 frames per second range here actually you can see the average is about 45 FPS so as long as you don't go below 30 it's going to be delivering a very playable experience and this is without any overclocking in any of these parts so the system is going to ship for 14 99 99 and I'll do it update for you guys with the radeon card versus the geforce card at the equivalent price points once we've got the system fully configured and properly built within the NZXT phantom case thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips
