my coverage of Computex 2016 is proudly sponsored by fractal design MSI and g.skill where's otech now and if you guys haven't already gotten this idea i've been trying to give you as much footage as I can of all the different variants of GTX 1080s that are on the markets or at least available now or maybe very soon though Tech has two of them here both of them have custom PCBs let's start off with this one here this is these GT X 1080 amp Edition and it features a dual 100 millimeter I storms ice storm cooling system two fans there on the front spectral lighting system so you get three light up areas on here two that are right here on the front of the card and then one back on the zotac logo beyond that it's of course got the GTX 980 GPU 2560 CUDA cores we don't know the information as far as what these cards are going to be shipping at when it comes to frequency but mostly overclocked cards we've been seeing or at least hitting eighteen 1900s sometimes even closer to 2000 if I had to guess I'd say this amp extreme right here probably gonna ship it a bit higher frequency so this is a beefy beefy card and they have a demonstration going over in a case there seems to be dealing with a little bit of a little bit of sag there but you know what I've been a support for this one it worked great anyways you can tell over built in the greatest fashion duel 8 pin power connectors on this one it's got four points of illumination here on the front of the card it's also got the push the limit sign there at the top and then on the back through the backplate this will light up as well and you can actually independently control both of those using the firestorm software from ZOTAC which you can also use to overclock the cards it's got some basic functionality in there to change all the different colors activate each individual lighting zone by itself and then you can do some you know features that you would expect such as pulsing breathing and all that kind of stuff we also have this card right up here in this case which is just a prototype they don't have a name for yet but ZOTAC is planning let's do a water-cooled card where you just you know you get the card it's got the block on and everything we gave them some feedback on this one I don't think it looks too bad I want to get rid of that red ring around there though anyway those are a couple gtx ten days from ZOTAC but there's a couple more things they have here - a VR backpack but let's so what's in the VR backpack first it's right over here so this medium-sized box here is the Magnus en which is oh tanks all-in-one system it comes all together it'll be available in a few different variants so you'll be able to get kind of bare-bones where you can install your own memory and your own s SD memory an SSD going at the bottom by the way this clear plexi box here is just to show you the components that are inside the larger box but if you can already tell this whole thing is liquid cooled it's got a loop that cools both the CPU as well as a GPU the GPO that's in there is a gtx 980 by the way it's also got a 6400 skylake processor and it's got a very small footprint tons of i/o on the front as well as on the sides pretty cool look overall not available yet but we're told about available very very soon and the guts of this beast are the same thing that's powering though Tech's newest vr backpack or at least the newest version of that I got a chance to play around with this I have to say that's playing with the VR backpack is a pretty nice experience especially if you tried VR where you're tethered to a cable on the ground you almost immediately get a much freer sense where you just don't have to worry about that cable being back there behind you but they've done a special version of the en 980 to fit in the backpack it's got a custom design where they made a lot thinner it's air cooled instead of water cooled that's to keep the weight down it's only about five or five point five kilos so we noticed that the backpack was fairly light and pretty easy to move and move around with it so it's also got a soft pack on the outside some mesh to help air flow and everything and we're told you can even get in there and do some basic upgrades just like you can with the en 980 which is pretty nice now they're working on the battery solution for this we recommended that they maybe do a swappable battery because that would be nice to have spares along the side the better they're currently using as a lithium-ion it'll last up to two hours so that's pretty good for battery life but we're kind of going on that yeah swappable battery I think would be a good option guys that's all though for the zotac booth thank you for watching this video if you enjoyed it hit the thumbs up button click the sponsor links down in the video description we got g.skill fractal design and MSI all helping me come on this trip to Computex we'll see you in the next video
