[1162.04 --> 1164.64] were pretty difficult to find. |
[1165.28 --> 1166.86] And I guess for me, |
[1167.02 --> 1167.28] this, |
[1167.52 --> 1169.96] it turns into a bit of a |
[1169.96 --> 1171.46] can I trust you issue. |
[1171.94 --> 1172.16] Like, |
[1172.24 --> 1173.34] I don't mind |
[1173.34 --> 1175.10] when NVIDIA provides us |
[1175.10 --> 1176.48] with reference benchmarks |
[1176.48 --> 1177.74] when they release a new GPU. |
[1177.92 --> 1178.46] In general, |
[1178.58 --> 1180.18] they've done a pretty good job of it |
[1180.18 --> 1180.60] where they say, |
[1180.72 --> 1180.86] okay, |
[1180.92 --> 1182.38] if you take our card |
[1182.38 --> 1183.74] and this AMD card |
[1183.74 --> 1184.90] and you run them side by side, |
[1184.98 --> 1186.28] here's about the performance improvement |
[1186.28 --> 1186.96] you can expect. |
[1187.16 --> 1187.86] We're still going to run |
[1187.86 --> 1188.78] our own benchmarks anyway. |
[1188.90 --> 1189.84] We're not just going to take that |
[1189.84 --> 1190.64] at face value. |
[1191.18 --> 1191.58] But, |
[1192.24 --> 1192.80] it's |
[1192.80 --> 1194.02] nice |
[1194.02 --> 1195.36] when they at least give us a reference |
[1195.36 --> 1196.66] so that when we run something |
[1196.66 --> 1198.44] and it's like totally not the same, |
[1198.84 --> 1199.76] we can go back and go, |
[1199.84 --> 1200.22] oh crap, |
[1200.28 --> 1201.24] did we screw something up? |
[1201.66 --> 1203.00] This is, |
[1204.06 --> 1205.80] it just seems like a headline grab |
[1205.80 --> 1207.64] and I find it frustrating |
[1207.64 --> 1210.80] because I had another similar experience |
[1210.80 --> 1212.26] with NVIDIA not that long ago |
[1212.26 --> 1214.00] where I was reviewing a gaming notebook |
[1214.00 --> 1218.06] that had NVIDIA's latest GTX 860M |
[1218.06 --> 1219.36] graphics card in it |
[1219.36 --> 1220.78] and they've got a new feature |
[1220.78 --> 1222.32] that they're calling battery boost |
[1222.32 --> 1224.62] where they're claiming up to two times |
[1224.62 --> 1226.00] the battery performance. |
[1226.16 --> 1228.02] And I mentioned this in my notebook review |
[1228.02 --> 1229.00] where I said, |
[1229.00 --> 1231.52] I got about an extra two minutes of performance, |
[1231.92 --> 1233.10] not two times performance, |
[1233.28 --> 1235.14] although I did admit at the time |
[1235.14 --> 1236.86] that I do need to do a follow-up. |
[1237.10 --> 1237.48] But I mean, |
[1237.52 --> 1238.92] I don't think there was too much |
[1238.92 --> 1240.02] to go wrong with my test |
[1240.02 --> 1240.74] because the way there's, |
[1240.84 --> 1242.28] the technology is supposed to work |
[1242.28 --> 1246.12] is that instead of allowing the notebook GPU |
[1246.12 --> 1248.00] to work as hard as it can |
[1248.00 --> 1248.52] to deliver, |
[1248.88 --> 1249.12] you know, |
[1249.16 --> 1250.94] 60 or 70 frames per second, |
[1251.18 --> 1253.54] you can limit the frame rate at like 30 |
[1253.54 --> 1255.64] if you're okay with that gaming experience |
[1255.64 --> 1256.82] on battery life |
[1256.82 --> 1258.52] in order to preserve some power. |
[1258.52 --> 1260.16] So I just found a part of Crysis |
[1260.16 --> 1263.48] that normally would run at like 55 frames per second |
[1263.48 --> 1264.08] with battery |
[1264.08 --> 1265.24] or 45 frames per second, |
[1265.36 --> 1265.54] I think, |
[1265.62 --> 1266.28] with battery. |
[1266.62 --> 1267.92] And then I turned the limiter on |
[1267.92 --> 1269.06] to 30 frames per second |
[1269.06 --> 1270.28] and I just left it there |
[1270.28 --> 1271.48] with a time-lapse camera on it |
[1271.48 --> 1272.68] and the battery died |
[1272.68 --> 1273.38] and it shut off |
[1273.38 --> 1274.92] and it only was about two minutes difference. |
[1275.30 --> 1275.32] So, |
[1276.62 --> 1282.28] I don't know. |
[1282.70 --> 1283.82] I don't know what else there is |
[1283.82 --> 1284.86] for me to really say about it |
[1284.86 --> 1286.90] other than I just find that pretty frustrating. |
[1287.24 --> 1287.36] So, |
[1287.84 --> 1288.62] I'm going to go ahead |
[1288.62 --> 1290.56] and add at least one mod here. |
[1290.90 --> 1291.48] There we go. |
[1292.06 --> 1292.54] Boom! |
[1292.64 --> 1294.20] I have added a moderator. |
[1294.52 --> 1294.68] So, |
[1295.10 --> 1296.92] I don't think one mod is going to be enough |
[1296.92 --> 1297.46] and like I said, |
[1297.52 --> 1298.48] we're working on a solution |
[1298.48 --> 1299.40] but there you go. |
[1300.22 --> 1300.52] Alright. |
[1300.92 --> 1301.98] Now this next thing |
[1301.98 --> 1304.42] is something that is pretty, |
[1304.66 --> 1306.08] pretty close to, |
[1306.22 --> 1306.66] to me |
[1306.66 --> 1308.62] because I do make videos |
[1308.62 --> 1309.50] for a living now. |
