[373.58 --> 378.04] guys when you look at any other review on the web you're gonna find you're gonna
[378.04 --> 382.26] find 980 pretty much dominating everything else but the key difference is
[382.26 --> 387.22] that we overclock all of our cards as far as we possibly can before running all of
[387.22 --> 391.16] our benchmarks so what we found is that well 980 is a beast overclocker I think
[391.16 --> 395.20] there was only one game that wasn't running over 1500 megahertz on the core
[395.20 --> 403.48] just like really yeah you're impressive you serious bro our 780 ti is also a bit of a
[403.48 --> 409.58] beast and runs well over 1200 megahertz too so given the number of CUDA core is given the
[409.58 --> 415.58] 384 bit memory bus that 780 ti has a lot of raw horsepower to throw at any kind
[415.58 --> 419.78] of a any kind of a rendering problem so we ended up with them kind of trading
[419.78 --> 423.20] blows the one that I'm actually really interested in and it's a kind of a
[423.20 --> 428.20] funny story why we didn't end up with a GTX 970 in time for us to do a review
[428.20 --> 434.50] for launch I was sitting in the briefing down in in California which is where I
[434.50 --> 439.36] am now so here I was sitting I was sitting in the briefing very close to
[439.36 --> 445.58] where I am right now and I got an email from gigabyte yo dog here's a graphics
[445.58 --> 449.14] card code name something and I wasn't looking that closely at it because I was
[449.14 --> 452.62] in the middle of a presentation I do you want us to send you a sample for a
[452.62 --> 457.14] review and I kind of went yeah sure and I figured because Nvidia was only seating
[457.14 --> 462.86] GTX 980s I figured that gigabyte was sending us a 970 turns out that the one
[462.86 --> 468.16] that arrived from gigabyte is a 980 so we actually ended up with too many 980s and
[468.16 --> 474.38] no 970s at all so I asked gigabyte about it I said hey um do you guys have a 970 that we can
[474.38 --> 478.00] get our hands on we haven't we haven't been able to do a review yet and they said oh well
[478.00 --> 483.76] we actually prioritized you to get a 980 because you're a key partner for us and I
[483.76 --> 488.38] kind of went oh thank you that didn't work out very well for anyone but thank you
[488.38 --> 492.82] appreciate it yeah I appreciate the thought you guys you guys are awesome we love working with
[492.82 --> 498.94] you and all that stuff I just really wish we had a 970 so we can do our review of it so that's why
[498.94 --> 503.26] that's not out this week but that'll be out next week yeah we'll get that up but I'm really interested
[503.26 --> 510.88] in that one because the pricing is so aggressive as low as 330 bucks in the US for our car that is
[510.88 --> 516.70] effectively around 20% slower than the GTX 980 because they cut down some of the functional units
[516.70 --> 521.12] and I I don't actually know you're at the event but I'm assuming it also has auto balancing power
[521.12 --> 528.64] rails no no no sorry that is still a top tier I know that's still a top tier only feature so 780 TI
[528.64 --> 534.88] GTX 980 are the only ones that have that auto balancing power feature that makes overclocking on
[534.88 --> 541.18] these cards pretty flexible yeah and pretty beastly yeah yeah yeah all right that'll be interesting
[541.18 --> 546.64] because it'll be completely different overclocking experience of the new platform so the OP here is
[546.64 --> 551.80] goodbytes what I'm gonna do this week is I'm just gonna kind of spam twitch chat because I didn't think
[551.80 --> 559.42] to bring oh you have got to be kidding me I didn't think to bring to oh wait what oh here we go here we
[559.42 --> 564.46] go I got this I got this I didn't think to bring to capture devices here so we've just got the one for
[564.46 --> 569.92] our camera so I can't actually screen share with you guys but what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna spam
[569.92 --> 575.20] chat with the links to the articles that we're talking about so the original poster just let me
[575.20 --> 581.44] manage the shirts there the original poster was goodbytes and basically Microsoft has revealed a
[581.44 --> 587.56] fair number of details about DirectX 11.3 and DirectX 12 now we've got a lot of information in the
[587.56 --> 592.66] doc that hopefully Luke is reading right now so he can talk about this a little bit but in a nutshell
[592.66 --> 601.24] we actually had the DirectX project lead presenting at the Nvidia press event last week and in a nutshell
[601.24 --> 608.84] he basically said okay well we'll look here here's what it is DirectX 11.3 is the features so it's got
[608.84 --> 615.10] the new rendering features that are really exciting and are going to potentially free up overhead from
[615.10 --> 622.64] the GPUs make it so that they can more efficiently render things like multiple transparent objects so they
[622.64 --> 627.88] showed off rasterizer ordered views yeah rasterizer ordered views thank you so he showed off a few
[627.88 --> 634.10] different things that DirectX 11.3 can do and then explain that DirectX 12 is basically going to have
[634.10 --> 641.06] those features except with all that CPU performance optimization that we've been hearing about ever
[641.06 --> 648.44] since AMD first started talking about mantle and how it was going to allow your CPU to your multi-core CPU to
[648.44 --> 656.54] spread out workloads much more effectively now the funny thing about DirectX 12 is that not only have
[656.54 --> 661.40] they made it so that they're going to be able to split the workload across CPUs but in the slides that
[661.40 --> 671.18] he showed us something really interesting that we notice is CPU usage overall also plummets so while the theory
[671.18 --> 678.98] that like the theory that I've had up until up until he gave us that presentation was that all of a sudden we're
[678.98 --> 686.30] gonna have this yeah we're gonna have a justification for for you know GTX 5960 X just for straight gaming and
[686.30 --> 701.16] games are gonna be able to leverage that I kind of went well hold on a second GTX 5960 did I say that core i7 5960 X thank you so I it's just running one game I was like okay yeah maybe we'll be able to use all eight of these cores and all 16 of these threads but then I
[701.18 --> 731.06] kind of realized well hold on a second if CPU utilization is going down this much we might just not need the cores or the clock speed it'll be really interesting to see what happens to what we need in terms of CPU power for gaming I mean what I'd really like to see happen is I'd like to see game de...
[731.06 --> 761.06] feature yeah I would love to see some of that offloaded to the CPU so that we can get truly much more dynamic visually games in the next couple of years here it might take us a little bit to see some of these implementations because there's a few warnings it says it's very powerful but it's difficu...
[761.06 --> 768.06] that they're going to build on top of it and outside of that they don't really expect too many people to touch it because it will be a very very complicated thing to work with
[768.06 --> 790.06] alright so our next our next topic is engineers made a radio the size of an ant that doesn't require a battery this was originally posted by ETRJ on the Linus Tech Tips forum and the original article is from the verge.com so engineering professors from Stanford and the University of California Berk...
[790.06 --> 820.04] I don't know I don't know how that sentence was supposed to be structured so anyway created a radio the size of an ant no battery it's actually powered by harvesting radio signals and doesn't require any external power so the goal is to use these chips to facilitate the internet of things so for th...
[820.04 --> 850.02] smartwatch not just your smartphone but even something as simple as your headphones and high quality headphones not headphones where having connectivity in them is this this janky kludgy gimmicky type of feature just everything will have connectivity because it will be so cheap to implement and so ...
[850.02 --> 876.02] could be connected there's no reason why couldn't be and that could feed into your house and tell your house how much power it's consuming and the house could you know automatically balance power who knows like the idea is just that once everything's connected we're gonna unlock a lot of possibilit...
[876.02 --> 885.50] um obviously we're not there yet no i mean you look you just you can look at something like the moto 360 as a great example of how
[885.50 --> 897.78] yeah this type of technology is not cheap or power efficient enough yet for ubiquity mind you part of that problem is because they used like a i think it was a processor from 2010
[897.78 --> 910.62] you have to assume that they did that for cost reasons there's there's a lot of um there's actually a lot of different reviews out there talking about how there doesn't really seem to be much of a sensible reason because there's actually cheaper chips that would have been better
[910.62 --> 920.76] yeah i don't know maybe they got like a massive bulk order for of it for some like ridiculously cheap price or something i don't know even that doesn't really make any sense because i mean
[920.76 --> 937.58] the the the release cadence for mobile products tends to be about a year and so i wouldn't expect motorola to be refreshing the moto 360 for probably about a year so it's not like you order a year's worth of cpus ever that doesn't make any sense
[937.58 --> 943.92] it's just it's it seems so silly like i just i don't understand why they did that and i was so excited to get the moto 360
[943.92 --> 952.22] and i'm so happy that i've taken to never pre-ordering things yeah yeah because holy crap don't want one anymore
[952.22 --> 960.84] um so anyway these uh these new chips that are powered by by harvesting radio signals are only supposed to cost a few cents to produce
[960.84 --> 969.18] so that could make it possible to integrate them in these types of commodity items things like things like light bulbs things that are just all over your house
[969.18 --> 973.96] and uh and and then the kind of information they could provide could be pretty cool i mean
[973.96 --> 979.92] not just being able to tell you okay how much power the light bulb is consuming but allow you to turn it on and turn it off
[979.92 --> 983.44] yeah they can send and receive information yeah so you could be like kitchen light bulb on
[983.44 --> 989.54] yeah i mean that kind of stuff exists right now but the problem is that it's really expensive the app
[989.54 --> 996.48] ecosystems are not that consistent yeah and it's it's just not quite it's not quite there yet
[996.48 --> 1003.80] moving on we have microsoft acquiring mojang so the guys that make minecraft for 2.5 billion dollars
[1003.80 --> 1008.70] it was officially announced on september 15th i'm going to spam this in switch chat
[1008.70 --> 1018.70] oh my goodness that is a lot of money so i mean and sorry this is again posted on the forum by the
[1018.70 --> 1024.42] same guy that posted the last right if i could jump over there etrj there we go so a lot of the community
[1024.42 --> 1032.94] is is pretty is pretty upset about you know feeling like they they got abandoned by notch
[1032.94 --> 1041.46] um at the same time like but i get it yeah he has his reasons he said that uh he decided he doesn't
[1041.46 --> 1046.92] want the responsibility of owning a company of such global significance and you know what he's kind of
[1046.92 --> 1054.02] got a point because i think and it's not it's not a matter of selling out when you've already made the
[1054.02 --> 1060.28] money notch doesn't have to work another day in his life but he will yeah because he's he's passionate
[1060.28 --> 1065.68] he wants to do something else but when you're when you're when you're running something of such
[1065.68 --> 1072.98] significance that's of importance to so many people you end up trapped he became minecraft yeah instead of
[1072.98 --> 1078.90] being himself he was minecraft at this point in time and so you know yes he sold the money for
[1078.90 --> 1083.64] what he could get i mean i don't think that that's an unfair thing to do and i don't i think it's
[1083.64 --> 1089.30] unreasonable to expect someone to i don't know what give the company away like like how do you how do you
[1089.30 --> 1093.74] get rid of the company without selling out it's not even you're going to run into a ton of legal
[1093.74 --> 1098.92] difficulty trying to give away an asset that's worth billions of dollars like that that is not okay
[1098.92 --> 1105.32] you legitimately can't do that so if he wants out if he doesn't want to do minecraft for the rest of
[1105.32 --> 1112.56] his life then you know what i guess it's it might be better to do it now than to wait even longer and
[1112.56 --> 1118.44] longer and longer and i think i think that it's uh i don't know i i'm excited to see what he's going to
[1118.44 --> 1124.32] do next yeah yeah me too because uh other things that i heard like this isn't necessarily in the doc and
[1124.32 --> 1127.90] i haven't done enough research on this at all but i've just kind of heard through the rumor mill
[1127.90 --> 1132.38] that a lot of it was um being frustrated too because he wants to work on all these other
[1132.38 --> 1135.60] different things but the second he does everyone's like why aren't you working on my crafts
[1135.60 --> 1140.48] yeah look how much money it's making you why aren't you working on my craft yeah he's like i don't care
