hey what's going on folks out there in tech land welcome back once again to another edition to take a tomorrow where we're taking a look today at the Asus 980ti Strix card now this thing has a shitload of features comes overclocked ran out of the box has its direct cu3 cooling and they even have this weird thing called Auto Xtreme now which basically automates their entire process making it hands-off with humans that's pretty impressive it uses all quality parts so all these cards now basically almost have no human involvement at all it's all like robotic in the building and that's actually pretty good and if you guys have seen the back plates on these cards they're really incredible Before we jump in the features and all that stuff let's real quick do what you folks like to do let's take a look at the box do the unboxing and then jump into the meat and the potatoes is everything else so right here obviously here's the box I'm not gonna dwell on the front of the back of it that much you guys don't like that but obviously a lot of the features I'm going to be talking about are basically on the back of this box all their stuff for tweaking their GPU OneTouch overclocking all kinds of stuff we'll get to that later if it's on the back of the box so nothing much more on the box beyond that so let's go ahead I will pop the side of it off right here pop this cap right here open it up inside once again we see the nice Strix nomenclature on the box making sure you know what you're getting okay and floor without hitting the animals do you guys see on the floor all the animals are down there surrounding they all actually want their part in the video but they're not the stars today no the star is the Strix card so boxy we got here box box box box box box box inception box and box here we go pop cap what do we got alright we got this thing right here just more folded stuff you like this one I thought the cameramen missed him by that much I'll try it better aim a next alright once again more pocket foam oh yeah right at you miss thing by that no I'm just kidding all right inside of here this will probably be all the little accessories stuff you will pop the cap here see what all comes in here doo doo doo doo dah dah dah dah dah ho he's bad everything else is that it alright alright sorry dude that one got him with hey what can I say alright so basically here we go get an extension cable dual molexes for your power supply let's see here these are a two six pins driver CD speed setup unleash your gaming instincts by the Strix gaming line now I don't you guys know this but like Strix is an owl right but actually Al's are mean sons of bitches I thought okay Al they're like a cool Bart would look them up no no no these guys are predators owls or mean so when they're calling this card the Strix they're not trying to be saying anything pretty they're trying to say this is one tough mother oh you know what I'm saying what's my name that's right all right last but not least we get the little Strix capable thing here that's the contents and then we get to the card itself boom ba boom now you guys can't tilt the card to actually consists of four separate pieces on the card for complete separate pieces the top piece this thing I hear is boom boom the top piece features all of the Strix cooling fans now these fans are all geared to be zero noise that's right zero blad yeah zero blade fan technology these things are meant to ruin quiet and when this thing actually runs in silent mode which it does with some games like Starcraft and others these things go completely off people might be look at the car going hey man my card it's broken the fans aren't spinning but no that just means that your cards running so cool and so awesome that it doesn't even need it so the first piece is this the fan housing that has those three fans we talked about then we see the heat fans and the heat pipes then the PCB itself and then the last piece is the rear armor that protects the card against static or their damage the direct cu3 cooling technology features two exclusive 10 millimeter direct GPU contact heat pipes that actually transport 40 percent more heat away from the GPU than standard heat pipes so that's a really awesome feature keeping the card cool is one of the main things about this cooling and what helps you in overclocking if you guys know anything about the GPU boost the boost works off how cool the card is the cooler the card is the better the boost is so this kind of cooling is going to come in very handy in the overclocking department and as we flip the card over under one side we can clearly see once again the Strix nomenclature which actually lights up when the card is running on another piece of the heat pipe is sticking out right there as well and here we also see the two eight pin power connectors as I flip the card around the back you can still see if the heat fins that are part of the cooling not much else there you can all see heat pipe running around and as we flip it around to the bottom of the card you guys can still see some more of the heat pipe technology you can also see where the fans are plugged into the PCB itself and as we finally put the card on to the rear you guys can see on the bottom the PCI insertion slot and then we flip the card around just one more time we can clearly see the very beautiful back of the car which shows the Aizu Strix logo the owl and this is actually one of the most durable and nice things about the card a lot of cards you can get fingerprint damage on it by just touching it and shocking it out or it can be damaged by sending it down having this excellent backplate to me is a serious thumbs up on any video card in aces they know how to do it right and finally on the back of the card to wrap it up there are two sli fingers this is where you connect your sli connect home we were very lucky that the people over at the EVGA sena so they're really awesome sli bridge for doing our next system thank you very much jacob just thought we'd put them in there real quick once again back to the caramel whoo and oh you could hear that he got that so pretty much folks this is what the card looks like that's what comes in the box let me touch over a few more specific features that a Zeus has and then let's jump in the test system and the benchmarks another feature that helps stability and the longevity of the cards lifespan is a Zeus is 14 phase super alloy power to super alloy power to components greatly enhance efficiency reduce power loss and provide two times quieter electrical noise in standard cards this allows the card to achieve thermal levels that are 50 percent cooler than previous generation cards and another cool thing about asus is auto extreme technology i talked about in video what makes other cards automated is actually uses 50% less power than previously made cards so that's a total win in the green factor as well so people out there in the environment that type of stuff hey this is a solid green win for the people over at a zoo so now is there's no automation program make the cards much better you know air free without humans involved it also does it with 50% less power drain so that's pretty awesome in itself from an environmental standpoint that is another feature of all the new Strix cars are these three fans now these offer a new wing blade design that's totally patent by the people at over a Zeus and offers a hundred and five percent of static air pressure on the card meaning that these fans are blowing a lot of air against those heat pipes and stuff to keep this card running cool and like I said before in some games like League of Legends and Starcraft this card goes into complete silent mode and these fans don't move at all so your cards not broke it's just in silent mode now last but not least in the card let's flip the card around real quick let's take a look at the rear i/o and on the rear i/o we see a DVID connector three display ports and a single HDMI connector so you know this thing's got enough connectivity to hook up to multiple monitors and the gtx 980ti is powerful enough to power up to three of these things and still get decent resolutions not at 4k mind you but pay sacrifices must be made the Strix 980ti has a power consumption of 375 watts and will require that eight plus eight pin power connector that came with the card as far as dimensions go the card side is in a 12 by 6 by 1.5 7 inches and for the rest of the world thirty point five by 15 point 22 by three point nine eight centimeters and for the overclocker you get a sis's 1-click gaming booster and there are three different ways that this can be used there's the visual effects mode which will boost your performance by turning off windows and visual effects there's a system services mode which automatically or manually would turn off windows services or processes and finally memory defrag this will rearrange and free up your system memory for maximum gaming performance and it will do so without shutting up any ongoing processes and last up like all Strix versions card this card has two now you have the normal mode and the normal mode runs the clock at 11:00 90s at space clock and 1291 is a boost and then you get the overclock mode in the overclock mode offers a base clock of 1216 and an overclock boost of 13 17 and the memories also overclocked to 7200 megahertz so basically everything's overclocked about this car with that said though let's real quick talk about our test station I consider our test system at this moment in time to be pretty mid-level I know people are you don't know it's high in but it's really not there are many things below it and many things above it so right now my socket 1155 system has an i7 4770k it slightly overclocked 16 gigabytes of ddr3 memory we've got a 2 terabyte Western Digital black hard drive and that pretty much sums up that system so without any further words let's rock out to the benchmark and see how the Strix does against the competition all right folks so there you guys have it everything about the brand-new Asus 980 I Strix Edition card now this card even overclocked as it is out of the box only ran at seventy seven Celsius and that's pretty good now previously the only car we had in here they could actually beat this thing and by a very small margin was the zotac virgin and it actually ran a little bit hotter about ten degrees hotter under full load so that means that this car right now has more potential and more Headroom for doing overclocking at that thing so think about that even right now what it is out of the box you still have some moon because the car can run obviously hotter because it did of other cars and still perform even better you get a lot of options with the card you can sit up to exactly how do you want to be you can set it up sort of like runs like I said in its stock mode you're not to overclock it at all and it will last forever do you people have to want to push the limits hey you get that overclocking ability now this card's gonna come to market about 670 dollars you know it's up there with actually this is you know probably the fastest line of cards it's out there for single GPU right there is right now so you get the fastest at the risk and this card as you guys can see it runs cool it actually ran pretty quiet even the test station we couldn't really hear it very much so that's a good sign when you hear the thing blowing in the background you mean you're like wow it's that some kind of like a lawnmower or something or wind board you know you got problems I never engage that at all with this and never engage those type of levels so I think that's a pretty solid deal obviously it's a bit pricey but few folks out there who want the best hey this is a serious car to take a look at so hope you guys like this video like user will underneath that like button but you know hopefully you guys know what to do by this time we'll be all the information you want to purchase one of these just get more information we'll have a link to their website and where you can purchase one for yourself I'm Eric thanks for watching deca tomorrow we'll see you guys back here for more tech and just let you know I know my videos have slowed down just ever so slightly the reason being is I've had to health issues and I'm right in the middle of trying to move and uh I'm not trying to publicize it like others do go oh my god I'm moving let's make a bunch of videos but this shit's happening so we'll see you guys later and uh pretty soon you're gonna see me new location I think I got like 60 days left
