I've traveled all the way to Beverly Hills California it's a very nice place it's very high a classy and all that good stuff but I was invited here by Nvidia and I came along with Logan and Kane from tech syndicate and the reason I was invited was because they basically took a gtx 980 full-size desktop discrete GPU and they've they've taken these things and they've developed a way to put them into a laptop that is what this video is all about a gtx 980 full size not a 980 m with the mobile thing and all that kind of cut down nonsense on it but a full 980 and a laptop so I had like three main questions about it when they first introduced it the first one of course was performance is the performance the same on a desktop and a laptop if you have a 980 in both let's find out here's a quick 3d 3d mark test comparison right here we have a system with 4770k and a full size GTX 980 and it scores on 3d mark this is firestrike standard 11250 for graphic score for thirteen thousand five hundred and sixty one coming right over here to our cleveo which is also using a full-size desktop GPU however it's in a laptop and that's the difference and if you don't believe us that they're actually the same GPU look at the scores 11 thousand 468 graphics core of 13424 a little bit of difference in the overall score because they are using different CPUs but that's that's a 980 in a laptop that's the performance the synthetic test wasn't enough so running an actual game here this is shadow of Mordor again looking at the results from the 980 in the laptop from cleveo average of ninety point nine six frames per second a minimum of 60 frames per second which is gtx 980 performance and the same test over here on the full-size GPU got an average of pretty much within margin of error average of 91 minimum of 62 so again you have a full-size desktop laptop desktop GPU okay so clearly it's a 980 and a laptop and I was pretty impressed next up though they were talking about overclocking you can overclock the GPU just like you might overclock a desktop GPU and this is another thought that I had as far as the GPU frequency because I was like well they took a 980 and they put it in a laptop to cry after like underclock it and all this kind of stuff but despite my hesitation I think they actually got beyond my expectations and were able to overclock it to like 1,300 to 1,400 megahertz range let's take a look at that so just to prove that overclocking is just the same as well Oh see it's just like overclocking on a desktop now we're actually pushing this far beyond its limits we were getting towards about the 1400 megahertz range but it's easily achieving 1,300 to 1350 and it's just like every overclocking on a desktop basically you set yourself an offset get yourself a higher GPU frequency you can bump up the memory frequency as well this is running on an MSI laptop that were showing you the demo of here of course and it's running the Unigine in heaven benchmark in the background as we fool around with the overclocking settings now this laptop is set up in the max fan mode we wanted to cool the GPU off a lot and see kind of what max overclocked we can get so right now it's 1350 to is what it's at this was staying pretty consistent if you want not quite as much power you can of course turn down the fans a little bit adjust that to get yourself that nice little sweet spot between performance and noise generated by the fans for the cooling so this is all very well and exciting and an idea popped in my head after I was shown it and because we did some VR demos when we were PAX Prime you guys might've seen him on some of our coverage there and I like oh you could take one of these laptops with the 980 s in it and like strap it to your back and use it for VR and walk around with VR well that may be something that's coming in the future but they actually did want to show us a VR demo so that's actually right over here behind me Kane did a little tester on it he was playing Eve Valkyrie and this is actually the same game that we tested at PAX Prime playing on a full-size desktop 980ti and Kane said based on his experience it was almost pretty much undifferenced that's a that's a word on different can degrees so a Valkyrie is up and running of course there's going to be more VR demos coming on the challenge of rendering VR is a lot more in-depth than say rendering a typical 1080 image on screen it's actually something in the range of about five times it's intense on the GPU side so bringing a full-size desktop 980 to a laptop this is going to let you do your VR on the go and I imagine there's a lot of other applications as well maybe integrating it it's a little tiny computers like nooks or brick systems or something like that there's Oh taxi boxes I'm sure going to get some of these but they did have some actual hardware demos of course they have the demos that we were playing on here and it has some laptops that are coming out they've been working with a lot of the different laptop system integrators so we saw for instance the msi gt80 which has a full mechanical keyboard in Cherry MX browns which is this time around which I was very happy about so is gain and then they also had the the two not one but two gtx 980 s so in sli 980 is in sli and a laptop pretty insane also we saw the new Asus laptop it was just a test unit so it wasn't up and running but it has a full water cooling assembly on the back of it so inside the laptop it has basically a liquid cooling arrangement so you got blocks I believe on the CPU and the GPU that's in there but if you pull the laptop off there's quick disconnects in the back so you can take a laptop with you on the go and it has an air cooling solution that will work or when you get home and you want a game you pop it on that quick disconnects connect and then the water cooling loop starts up your temperatures drop on your 980 that's in there and that of course GPU boost takes care of the rest get to much higher frequencies and then you can game much more better I like using that phrase much more better anyway if you guys thought this was a much more better video than any of the other ones I've done and hit the like button if you think it's a pretty standard video also hit the like button if you think it's sucked then just stop watching right now and I'm subscribed to my channel thank you for watching this video though thanks to Nvidia for inviting us out here thanks to a Logan and Kane for hanging out with me and I think especially thanks to Logan for holding the camera right now he's doing a great job and he's not wearing pants anything I don't know how have I not looked I'll see you next time guys
