48 Hours with the GTX 980 Ti!

2015-06-02
yeah you like that don't ya like that 4k all right everybody welcome to 48 hours with the nvidia gtx 980ti their brand-new flagship car to hit the market now this card is not geared it off the person who's meek of wallet or meek of gaming this is an all-around super-duper card that offers incredible performance and some new features unseen before on NVIDIA card novices card still based on the twenty nine of your process its Maxwell based and it has a lot of things going for it it's you folks are going to like out there now right now like I said I've got the card running in a system got it back here behind me and in fact the entire time that we're doing the video the card will be running in the background so you guys can see how actually quiet the card is in full gaming mode so with that said let's jump in let's check out the card itself the features the performance and why at the end of the day the GTX 980 I is worth your money starting out visually you guys can see this card looks like any other Standard Edition reference card that comes out from the folks in Nvidia they've been using this same Signature Series for quite a while now single fan nice titanium looking outside you can clearly see the 980ti nomenclature on the card now as you guys can see as we spin the card around this card is a little bit different than the previous card as this card requires a single eight pen and a single six pin connector the 980ti has a TDP of 250 watts and the recommended power supply is 600 watts the geforce gtx 980ti ships with 2,816 cuda cores and 22 sm units the memory subsystem of the gtx 980ti consists of six 64-bit memory controllers equaling a total of a 384 bit memory interface the card also ships with six gigabytes of gddr5 memory the 980ti has a base clock of a thousand megahertz and a boost clock of a thousand seventy five now the boost is entirely dependent on how cool the card runs meaning that aftermarket cards with better cooling will definitely be able to overclock better than this card as far as the overclocking goes we're not gonna get to that in this video everything we're doing this video was basically on the stock clocks and like I said there are some new features that Nvidia brings the table and let's talk a little bit about those first up our volume child resources and sparse fluid simulation many visual effects using games are volumetric in nature fluids clouds smoke fire and fog are common examples rendering complex scenes that combine these elements together allows the GPU to use its memory more efficiently in turn allowing developers to integrate more intricate effects into their games including smoke that's generated using Sparks fluid simulations next up is something that's definitely needed in DirectX 12 and that's conservative a raster conservative raster is one of the key requirements needed for DirectX 12 feature level 12.1 conservative raster provides a more accurate method for determining whether or not a pixel is covered at the cost of being more expressive in terms of performance in traditional restoration a triangle is considered covered if a pixel covers a specific sample point within that pixel with conservative restoration rules on the other hand a pixel is considered covered if any part of the pixel is covered by any part of the triangle by providing hardware acceleration for conservative raster the GPU can perform these calculations more efficiently this in turn enables game developers to employ novel new approaches to enhance image quality and last up is Ray traced shadows in the image you can see the difference between a ray trace at O and a regular shadow map this also works in conjunction with the conservative raster feature all right so we've seen what the card looks like we've seen the speeds and feeds we know all that good stuff now one thing I guess saying before we jump into the testing this car does have a 98 Celsius threshold which means that overclocking is gonna be pretty good in this car the cars got to be really really really hot before it starts failing and that's great for gaming so with that said let's check out gaming performance in both 1080p and 4k and rock out to bits three folks who like live gameplay let's check out a couple of games in 4k glory first stop The Witcher 3 a game that everybody's been loving and in fact it's really cool and it looks awesome as well let's go right now let's check out the settings as you guys can see I set everything as high as it can go in 4k and now let's check out that gameplay now let's checkout GTA 5 another really fun game that's awesome to play and looks awesome in 4k all right folks so there you have it the new nvidia gtx 980ti in action you guys can see it's one smoking gun unlike when the 980 was released this card actually does show true performance differences when the 980 first came out the difference between the 780 Ti in it weren't very much at all now it actually did everything a lot more efficient but as far as sheer performance goes it was not as much as we thought but the Ti is incredible as you guys can see in 1080p performance 20 frames per second over the 980 in most cases that is very substantial and in 4k 10 frames per second awesome stuff push you guys saw a lot of the gameplay we did in 4k it just looks beautiful and in fact the entire time that we've been filming I've had the 980 running in the background so as far as how loud the car goes well as far as how loud the car is actually you guys can see it's not really that loud I've got running the test Asian Games running here back behind me got GTA 5 going now so all-in-all this card is a severe winner NVIDIA has at the table was something that people are really going to like now all these cards will be coming out with different models other than the reference on launch day you always see the reference cards that we got that's what we got having trouble and speech impediments here today but that is what we have the reference card there'll be many others coming out with aftermarket cooling all that stuff and we're gonna see even better performance from those as it is right now the reference GTX 980 from Nvidia is one incredible card great new features great performance it doesn't get very loud stays pretty cool all in all a winner for the gamers out there I'm owner you've been watching teka tomorrow all the information for this car will be down but like but no for you guys like this type of video if not hey I'm sorry but if you guys do like what you see make sure you hit that sub button and we'll see you in your inbox
