thank you a Squarespace for sending us the CES 2017 miniature high performance graphics cards have been around for a while now but were largely popularized by the performance and thermals of the 970 mini now in 2017 ZOTAC has introduced in 8.3 inch 1080 mini performance wise it's basically the same as a reference card but with a tiny boost its base clock is running at sixteen hundred and twenty megahertz and it's boost clock is running at seventeen hundred and fifty nine megahertz about 33 megahertz higher in terms of boost clock video input wise it is the same as reference with three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors one HDMI 2.0 B connector and a dual link DVI connector for cooling the fans are actually different the fan on the left is a 90 millimeter static optimized fan the fan on the right is a 100 millimeter airflow optimized fan and the blades on each fan are different to correspond with that there's a bit more of a curve on the static pressure optimized one below that on the custom PCB of a five plus one power phase design and a standard 180 watt TDP this card should enable even more people to dive into small but ultra high performance ITX pcs which I personally find quite exciting because it's an interesting realm for computers to go into and I will say the price is unknown but is speculated to be somewhere around the cost of a reference card and for thermals at load it should be about 74 degrees also if you're looking at aesthetic stuff there are white lights on the card and the front shroud and the back are both metal and next up we have the VR go back pack which is a much more elegant solution to tether free VR instead of that kind of like thrown together laptop on your back thing that I've done in the past this is actually easy to use and can be used as a standard desktop as well which is rather cool it includes two hot swappable spots for batteries you can remove one at a time to keep the system running completely if you want to have one charging and one in the unit like we do now or if you get a hold another set of batteries you could run two in the backpack for two hours of play and have two charging which takes two hours to charge and swap those in and out for continuous play it has spots built in for all your gear so you can have your controllers and nice little hole spots on the side as well as your cable and you can even hang your headset off of the clip on the other side as well if you do want to convert it into desktop mode it's a relatively easy process just take the backpack off lay it down somewhere like this conveniently placed table pull up the velcro tab turn the dial into the unlocked position slide downwards and the backpack portion comes off to put it back on it's the exact same process but in Reverse lay the backpack portion down slide it up turn the dial put the velcro thing down and you're done if you're looking into building a website check out Squarespace they have a whole bunch of different modules like their commerce module where you can sell things on their website their cover page module where you can have one beautiful like web 2.0 stylized website and they have responsive design so your website will look great on whatever device you viewed on a desktop laptop phone tablet whatever it's all good I've even seen Squarespace websites on watches so I think you're handled there they have 24/7 live chat and email support if you need help with your website and you can start your free trial today no credit card required go to Squarespace comm slash CES and enter CES 17 as your code to get 10% off your first purchase
