[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.
