hey what's up Tech fans at L Ark here once again on TECA tomorrow now I haven't slept for three damn days but I do have the brand new and video 1080 so let's check it out unless you've been up in space or living in a cave you probably know that Nvidia just had a big announcement this last Friday and that was the release of their brand-new Pascal series of cards and we were lucky enough to check out that event and get our hands on this brand-new 1080 carbon it has a lot of new features beyond just like your gaming experience they're gonna make this card really dynamic and pretty much change the playing field in both price and performance wise for gamers out there around the world some of the best things about this card are some of its new features one of them is is that this card has a very low power requirement in the past almost every card I've seen that was high end had at least two connections for the power we'll check this out on the new 1080 a single 8 pin power connector is all that's needed to power this card and one of the cool things is we all love a solid backplate in the back of the card I'm gonna go too crazy on because I know you guys and I don't mess it up either but it's awesome the new reference design is really killer it looks a lot like the previous generations but it has a lot more features in it that are gonna make you guys really want to go hey wow I want to get my hands on that card and check it out one of the biggest things with video cards and I'm going to show you guys all the cards and all the specs but I want to talk about some of the features that really make this card just be on the card itself let me just set the car down by one second here so first of all I know you guys have question to be like hey man why aren't there specs in this video ok the specs are still under NDA until the 17th this month so I can't bring those to you but what I can do is I can show you close to the card talk about what it's all about and some of the great things about it so basically one of the biggest things about it is now it's no longer anymore a 22 nanometer process that's now gone down to the 16 nanometer FF process it's the first of its kind and obviously with that technology they're introducing new memory as well they work with micron and they had this new extreme gddr5 X so this is like the ultimate fastest Gd r5 and it's not jumping up in there the HBM that costs a lot of money and really hasn't been cold you know tests proven I think AMD had a great idea with HBM stuff but it was kind of like betting on the wrong horse I think at that but those people out there you guys who have multi-monitor technology you guys have three screens in front of you for me I have curved screens one of the biggest problems that you've seen in games I've heard from you guys all the time is that when you're looking at your screen and everything it's completely screwed up its stretched it's all messed up will they fix this simultaneous multi-project incompletely corrects all of these things so it doesn't matter whether using a single screen whether using three screens or curved monitor you can fix this with a simple clicking correction and you'll be able to see everything in perfect viewpoint no more stretching no more weirdness it's going to look just like a perfect flat image no matter which way you're looking at it so it's a very very big improvement all the way across the board for gamers another big thing at the Nvidia event was complete virtual reality demos they had a couple that were really really cool no really really to you know film the virtual reality thing and bring it to you we talked a lot about that the event the only way to really experience is to have an oculus or to have a vibe to really see it so but I just got to tell you that you guys you've seen how games have progressed from the past how the graphics ilke all kind of grainy and they've got sharper and sharper and sharper well right now if you picked your back all the stuff in virtual reality is almost like jumping back like a few decades almost in the graphics on a lot of different things but the thing about it is though you're in a complete environment that seems real so picture grainy kind of cheesy kind of little graphics but you are completely immersed in a 3d environment and it requires a minimum of 90 frames per second if you don't be throwing up all over the damn floor when you're watching this stuff so it's just really crazy and with that said you guys all know about physics physics is way to all the objects in game the way they move the way they you know act naturally well now NVIDIA has their own sound stuff called VR work sound and this is basically just to spell it out is basically physics for sound so it's real live sound things inside a games when you're doing virtual reality and something falls over here behind you you're going to have to be able to hear it behind you because when you look and it's going there if you don't have sound to match that your virtual reality environment it's going to be a bunch of so basically these guys are working totally towards VR it just seems like the entire she's going VR and what said this new stuff from nvidia this vr works is going to make the sound that you hear inside the game match the physical world that it's supposed to be in so it's pretty cool stuff if you've been following the trends lately you've seen there's been a dynamic change in the way that art is being produced rendered and shown and a lot of the art that's being shown now is actually in-game scenes that are captured and turned into art now there's been a famous photographer in the past his name was Ansel Adams he was one of the most incredible nature photographers in the world his belief was that God was nature and that you could see God - the beautiful nature of the planet and his pictures were just amazing so NVIDIA has this new thing where you can actually have your own cam everywhere inside the game with you so you can move your cam anywhere you want to go and take pictures inside the game and then you can actually do a bunch of different things to change the picture just like you're in Photoshop it has all kinds of different features and stuff for you to do this so for people out there who are emerging in this new art form and doing these game capturing stuffs and if you want to get into yourself this is going to be a really new feature in fact I know myself I'm gonna screw around quite a bit I know my son is gonna mess that it's gonna be really fun you guys I just got to say Ansel is fun it's like having kind of like almost new art palette in the box it's just free and thrown in you know with your new card Pascal fully supports this so it's going to be pretty awesome stuff and if you're a person out there who I know there are people out there who are doing this you guys are going to go oh damn and this is the shiznit son because you're going to be able to take your camera from any angle in there and do this now there probably will be some restrictions there will be some you know game developers you might not want the camera to go you know if we were enough everybody's but inside the game but most people I think you're going to play ball and alight it is because the more options you have for filming and doing this the better answer will be and the better can presented to the general mass public and become more popular by a way of views and just by name and the very last thing about Ansel that makes it cool is you guys can actually shoot a complete 360 view picture inside of the game by a simple click of a button it takes and takes a full 360 view screen which you can then later flatten out and look at so it's pretty cool stuff all in all I really want to hear what you guys have to say down below I want to hear you guys think this is a corny or something you guys think is like emerging tech personally no this artform stuff is coming out and I think it's going to be pretty cool but I always want to hear what you guys have to say as well for years now you guys know I've been building systems and a lot of times I see all these comments down below they're asking me why I only build a system with two cards in SLI and why I don't take it further and for years and years I've been telling people out there that hey SLI scaling past two cards really is not that great of a thing and well at this event and video said that they now agree and that they only support natively two cards you're welcome to do as many more as you want but they are only supporting two cards in SLI from maximum performance and also with the new pet scale release there's new faster bridges so these bridges are very very hard and they're throw up to 1 to 3 cards they don't have four cards because like I've said in the past I don't think that four cards really works that great in fact a lot of testing we did four cards actually made the testing go down a little bit so I'm actually really proud of Nvidia for you know saying this finally because I've been saying it for years and I'm sure that's kind of a subject that Dan strum because you know hey if some crazy person wants to buy four cards why do you want to trip them up when they're spending money I mean it's kind of a bad sales tactic you know what I mean so but it's great that they finally admitted it and so now it's official there's a brand new bridge they're much faster but two cards is all it's supported for maximum performance so that's bad now I know you guys want to know a lot about the performance of the card so I can't like really spur number specs but just take it this way but 1080 is supposed to be faster than two 980 s and SLI and faster than a Titan X that's right the GTX 1080 comes with nine teraflops of power eight gigabytes of g5x memory and there are two versions being released on May 27th a standard version at $5.99 and a Founders edition at $6.99 and on June 10th will see the gtx 1070 which offers 6.5 teraflops of power eight gigabytes of g5 memory there are also two versions a 379 version which is standard and the 449 founders edition and this is also faster than a Titan X so obviously there's a lot of power here to be said in very low numbers and this is where it's going to get really crazy because I know that AMD fans out there they're going to be kind of pissy with this but the bottom line is at this point right now it's going to be very very hard to choose cars because if you're looking at an AMD card their top of the line card right now it's 499 dollars now I haven't done the per number specs and testing so I can't say for sure this is how it is but I'm kind of thinking that probably that this 1080 is probably going to be faster since it has eight gigabytes of this new gddr5 X memory you know I mean it's got a little bit more memory on it's got new architecture on it so I think head-to-head it's probably going to be a faster card and it's only $100 more unlike the old days where you bought a card and was like you know $900 for the top Nvidia you know and then $500 for the AMD card that gaps now been shrunk down to $100 margin and it doesn't seem like you know there's gonna be anything SuperDuper high in from AMD until January and I'm just telling you right now NVIDIA has more launches going and more cards that'll be coming out I can't specify to you exact ones but you know these guys don't ever slow down they love this so things are going in a really crazy way I want AMD to do well I hope there's some surprise announcement like really quick because I want to build a totally dedicated version of the AMD system I'd like to be able to use all AMD parts most the time now I have to use an X 99 chipset motherboard from Intel whether I want to use Nvidia or AMD it doesn't matter if I want to build a multi card system and I want to go crazy I'm building x99 everything beyond that just kind of like you know just a little bit lower than that yeah you can do it on the other stuff but if you want the supreme powerhouse hey X 99 that's where it's at baby so let's real quick let's take a look at the car you guys can see that pretty much does look like a reference card from the past the fans a little bit smaller and that's nice and the card just has that nice sleek design the backplate that's a very very killer design we all love that having only a single 8 pin power connector he'll to the S that's badass I'm totally happy with that I know you guys are going to be as well and then lastly as we check out the rear i/o you guys can see it it's a single DVI port three display ports and a single HDMI port which is perfect for setting up a multi display environment alright folks so there you guys have it everything I can tell you about the beautiful 1080p at the time don't worry man on the 17th I'll have all the full-blown scores all the integrity tails I can bring to you but all that's under NDA at the moment so one of the biggest questions I want to ask people out there the top of the line card right now from AMD is about $499 that's we're talking about single card technology old single GPU dual GPUs yet we know the more cards out there these guys are probably dual card later but at this time I want to know what you guys think if you guys see that these guys scores are really really super just outrageously faster than the highest AMD card at that price for $100 more I want to know specifically from you AMD fans would you buy this card or would you just say completely screw it because you're dedicated to a coloring a brand now one thing I want to say is that I am NOT a fanboy of any type because for me I love technology I don't care who makes it I don't care about any about that I loved technology so if AMD is making technology that's awesome I want to get my hands on it I want to test it play with it and bring that news to you and be excited about it same thing with Nvidia or anybody else out there technology excites me and I know that probably you know for the companies fanboys is probably a cool thing but between friends and stuff fanboys it just gets a little bit crazy you always want to just probably get what you think is going to be best for yours maybe there's some features about one card you like better or another but hey at the end of the day it's always your choice I'm Network you've been watching Tekken tomorrow stick around because I make another video about five things we've actually shocked me at this release and they really didn't have a lot to do with the video card itself more just do with crazy ah
