well hello good people first day of games come it's all about the media it's
actually quite nice and grew me over here last time I was here was completely
packed with people but right now it's pretty chill we're going around the show
floor and trying to find some custom 20 series new cards from Nvidia the RTX
series by UI check out the explained video right over here
alright visiting Horace no custom cards here only 10 series so the show floor is
only open to the media right now and is almost completely packed tomorrow is
gonna be crazy but that's I see the ROG booth
let's go check it out hopefully they have an awesome card for us alright so
it is too awesome to see the rtx 2080 strict submission 20% larger surface
area on the cooler versus last generation it is now a 2.7 a small cards
instead of 2.5 so it's like a beefier cooler I guess that makes sense to lose
that RTX chip awesome could they see a cards on the show floor and that
let's go play some games
the awesome thing about Gamescom are these giant statues of games so you are
not here just to play but everyone has a bit of cosplay and like a little bit so
much more energy about games like a look at this giant tank behind me oh man I
see EVGA let's go check out the new cards they're all on display so evj is
showing off three new cards that check out the rtx 2080 EC first so this one
you can see the shroud is slightly transparent it's not plastic it's this
PVC material so it is durable it's not flexible now the cool thing about the
transparency is that you can customize you RTX GPU with these trims they call
them so they're available in black red and white
and carbon later on so you can customize your car to look the way you want based
on know the color scheme which is pretty awesome the XE is also double slot GPU
unlike the others so it's pretty compact 2080 and 2080 TI awesome stuff moving on
to the XC2 so this one's a slightly wider much bigger heatsink this is the
2.7 slot GPU has all the same features the cool thing about this plan is that
it has full EVGA logo on the fans which actually reduced the noise levels of the
GPU so the car is running quieter massive heat sink over here so no
problem in cooling something like this and then the FTW 3 so FTW 3 is probably
going to be the most popular out of this lineup because it's got three fans
massive heatsink so this is uh I think it's a triple small GPU yes it is also
features the same transparent design on the shroud so you can customize the
actual law trims on the interior so the cool thing about this one is that we
also have this aluminum shield that you can put on top it looks awesome
customize the GPU a little bit more so it's kind of cool how EVGA is branching
out into this customization element so not only we have the
improvement on the heatsink because it is 14% cooler and 19% quieter than
previous generation but we also have this others no customization stuff that
we weren't seeing before they also have the new boxes so once you receive a card
you pull off the lid it's a nice low surprise waiting inside and new software
UI so not only is the bit cleaner they're also new features like actually
setting the throttling frequency so if the card is reaching a certain certain
temperature you can actually set the frequency clock to how much it will down
the clock and we also have the full RGB customization controls not only for the
cards but also for the SLI bridge which is pretty cool something that we weren't
able to control before also I will say the backplate is a new design looks
actually pretty sweet and the whole transparency on the shroud allows for
that RGB illumination to shine right through so it's not going to be in
certain sections and actually will or supposed to eliminate the entire face of
the card which is going to look pretty sweet alright so those are the new RTX
cards from a VGA the XC XC2 and the FTW3 for the rtx 2080 and 2080 ti I am
personally excited for the 2080 like the dual slot because it's compact obviously
is gonna have a lot of power but the FTW3 2080 ti is most likely going to be like
that the king of the stuff so you can overclock that thing and it looks
absolutely awesome the additional customization options are
pretty cool but let us know which card you'd like us to review first and of
course Jacob will try to deliver well well well
what's interesting is that we found an msi card but we are told but how the
board partners is that none of them are supposed to be running and that card is
running so this thing is a pretty gigantic GPU but of course they have
multiple variations of that one I think that was the gaming trio X gaming extra
or something like that but full of RGB goodness the heatsink is absolutely
massive and yeah you need a giant case to dominate their new rtx lineup Wow so
the things that you see at Gamescom cards heads and balls either you games
come you do you alright good people so that is our games come coverage it's an
exciting place to be because we get to see so many demos of the games that we
can you know test and play out for a little bit and it's actually pretty
awesome to actually have this such a significant hardware launch at Gamescom
and it kind of makes sense because you know Jensen spent like 90 percent of
presentation talking about rate racing that will be most likely port to games
with this whole rtx platform an ecosystem later on so they are really
closely linked together I was hoping for more brand partners to showcase their
rtx cards but it's good to see EVGA in full force asus cards and one two cards
from msi but yeah i'm definitely excited to see more on September 20th when the
whole rtx 20 series launches now a lot of you have expressed your skepticism
about gaming performance which we are about to receive tomorrow so a lot of
the information is still under NDA but as soon as we are able to speak about
the performance and reveal the true colors of this whole rtx lineup of
course you'll hear that from us so thanks much for watching I'm Dimitri
from games come and we'll see you and be
