So spec wise they're not really saying a whole lot here because I don't really know how much they've changed about the cooler
I've only seen this in
footage from Nvidia's teaser
So is it all cosmetic or are there actual changes to the design of the card?
I love the case, this is the kind of thing where you feel like an idiot for
for pulling it out, but the thing about collector's edition computer hardware is that unless it ends up being a very very
iconic piece of hardware, like an original Mac.
Um, I would say in terms of bang for the buck you're better off taking it out of the package and
enjoying it, because it's not gonna go up in value
for not breaking the seal.
I'm actually kind of liking this
I thought the the aged finish that they put on it looked kind of tacky in the video,
but in person, that actually looks not half bad like they've got a pretty convincing effect on here.
I'm not quite sure how they did this like it must be a...
It must be a paint application, but it looks really good.
What's this? Is this the thing that you're supposed to?
Instructions not included, got
penis stuck in the little port on the top. No,
it doesn't, it doesn't, look like that's the thing you take off so the backplate. This is a funny thing they actually
Printed the Star Wars logo as though it's going to stay in the case forever
What a weird thing because the text is gonna be upside down when you install this in a case that is some
That is some classic
You know video card mistake stuff right there, so the cooler doesn't look fundamentally redesigned. They've got
Oh, this is interesting. They've got this cover over the fan that looks like it would make it hard to install two of them side-by-side
Not that I think too many people would order like a bunch of these and put them in a system
but that heatsink looks pretty similar oh
There's no DVI port on the back
How interesting alright so let's go ahead and?
Throw this on to our Zenith extreme testbench here oh
Come on, I unpluggled the cord dang it
Then we can have a look at the lighting effects
Okay time to fire it up
Yeah, did not think that one through with respect to the
positioning of our power cable here
Is looking not too shabby, so they've got LED lighting all around the fan
They've got LED lighting under the grill here. Oh
Look at the way, you can actually see the way they've wired it in so they've just got a little a little tiny like hard
PCB LED strip going on there and then they've just got it wired up inside the heatsink
So there it is Unigine super position running on the Titan XP collector's edition but wait
There's more
Ah yes
so I don't have to speculate that the Galactic Empire one looks better
I get to actually find out in person oh
This I'm excited about I
Mean as excited as I can be about Nvidia totally getting it wrong
Jedi Order and
Galactic Empire
Are not I mean yeah, they're like good guys and bad guys, but they're like from different eras of the
Star Wars universe
What is the deal with that I
Don't know what it is, and maybe it's just the fact that it like doesn't look so banged up
gives it more sex appeal
Maybe it's just that I actually like in most cases I hate
the glossy black
But man does that ever work here with the glossy black on the Titan X
Glossy black around the fan you've got that I've always liked the dark nickel coating on the fins on the vapor chamber cooler
like this card just looks
so
good it
I had actually thought from the video that the heatsink designs were more different
But this one this one just is better check this out
This is a metal piece on the Galactic Empire one check this out check this out, so
This is metal on here, and it's just like a plastic plug on the Jedi Order one
alright, let's shut it down and
Let's do the unthinkable
Nvidia sli on a
high-end AMD platform
running Galactic Empire and Jedi
Order graphics cards could anything be more wrong than this moment right now
The answer is no
oh It's beautiful
It's like Christmas, it's like my Christmas
Because cuz it's because it's black and green like Christmas
Also, because it's exciting also. It's like mid-november so it's clearly Christmas if you go to a store
updating LED firmware
So this one does an LED have firmware?
I mean I guess you need firmware if your LED looks like that alright fine fair enough ASUS, boop!
Now let's get some SLI going here, I got a snap a picture of this for the Instagram
I shoulda known this was gonna happen this. This is what you can expect
When you put the light side in the dark side together. Okay, look at this
It's like it's like a half the horizontal resolutions is broken
Okay, let's
Let's try this again. Why don't we try plugging the HDMI cable into?
What is clearly the dominant card which apparently?
Is the dark side?
*linus hissing*
All right, I don't have to stall for time anymore, it's done
Maximize 3d performance all right, let's try again
and
*more hissing*
Now that's the TV that's not the computer working
That's a it's a TV screen saver what you gotta be kidding me
Why. why is my life hard
Okay, be clear
I love my life
But this is the kind of crap that I deal with this is supposed to be the simplest thing ever plug in two graphics cards
And be like ah the Jedi Order and the Galactic Empire. They're working together
I mean, I guess this is kind of funnier anyway
This is not the last time you've seen these cards what I want actually is your guys's
suggestions for what you want to see us do with them, so leave those in the comments and
Maybe you will see your idea executed
