Chapter 518 Superior Game Performance
When the topic of swordsmanship came up, gamers who were previously lurking immediately stood up, since everyone knew what kind of person Lao Huang was.
This is something he's really capable of doing.
However, they didn't discuss it for long before being drawn to a graphics card that appeared on the big screen.
"Let's start with the end products."
Old Huang pressed a button on the remote control, and two graphics card renderings appeared on the screen:
"First up is our GTX 750 series."
Two graphics cards appeared on the screen instantly: the GTX 750 and the GTX 750 Ti.
"First up is the GTX 750, which is one of our best-selling products. So this time it has received a significant upgrade. It now has 512 stream processors, 1GB of TFS storage, and a core frequency of 1020MHz."
In terms of specific performance, it's 20% better than the previous generation GTX 650 Ti Boost, but its power consumption...
At this point, Old Huang paused again, letting them fully imagine, while a smug look appeared on his face.
This smug moment instantly sparked endless imagination among viewers in the live stream.
"This performance improvement is significant; it doesn't seem like something Lao Huang would do."
"It really doesn't suit Nvidia, considering the 650's performance is actually slightly worse than the 550ti... This time, Intel has really pulled off a blockbuster!"
"Looking at Lao Huang like this, it seems the power consumption has dropped too. It's really about to explode."
Amidst their cheers, Old Huang revealed the final answer:
"It only consumes 60 watts, requires no external power supply, and can be used simply by plugging it into the motherboard."
At the same time, many people are starting to look forward to the price of this card.
After all, for an entry-level graphics card, this energy efficiency ratio is practically a godsend for office workers and small form factor users.
The GTX 750 Ti is an upgrade based on this, firstly increasing the number of stream processors to 640, but only providing 1GB of video memory...
The difference between the two is purely a frequency increase, but its power consumption is slightly higher.
You can get 75!
Its performance is comparable to the GTX 660.
Are you all satisfied with these two graphics cards?
After the introduction, Lao Wang handed the choice over to the audience.
"It's pretty good, but the GTX 750 Ti is clearly not as cost-effective as the 750."
"Just tell me the price already? Stop with all this nonsense."
"Hurry up and announce the price!"
Looking at the enthusiastic audience below, Lao Huang on stage quickly walked back from the edge of the stage to the center.
Of course, he just wanted to reveal the final price to the audience, not because he was afraid they would throw their toys at him...
"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, let's reveal the final price:"
The GTX 750 is priced at 999 yuan!
The GTX 750 Ti is priced at 1299 yuan!
The previously lively applause fell silent instantly after the price was announced.
This product has indeed surprised everyone; it's a truly great product. But the price... is a full 30% higher than the previous generation!
So, unsurprisingly, the barrage of comments disappeared, and the video instantly went awry.
"Damn, even Old Huang doesn't harvest chives like this!"
"Your Uncle Huang has been cultivating these leeks for so many years, it's time to harvest them. After all, we can't harvest them from the stock market now... so we can only harvest them from us."
"But at least leave some leek roots? This is like pulling us up in one fell swoop."
"Fine, I'm an AMD fan of ten years, here to join the fray uninvited."
"I really want to support Qualcomm and AMD right now..."
"Those two upstairs can't compare. Remember, this is definitely Old Huang's hidden technique."
As for the scene, without realizing it, Lao Huang took a few steps back.
And the people the audience had already been preparing to pay attention to have already taken the lead:
"Brothers, Lao Huang is treating us like韭菜 (leeks) to be harvested, he wants us to smash him to death."
After saying that, he threw the doll in his hand at it.
Of course, due to the distance, most people could only crash at the edge of the stage.
"That old bastard is really cunning; he predicted our prediction."
"I was wondering why he kept going further inside."
At this point, some media reporters had already planned out tomorrow's trending topics:
#Shocking! A product manager was criticized by netizens for maliciously raising prices...#
At this moment, Lazy Sheep's assistant smiled, realizing that this was the correct way to use the doll.
However, he decided not to throw it away yet, in case there was a "surprise" later, he could use it then.
After the audience had vented their emotions a bit, Lao Huang turned to the next page.
After all, he understands what the audience is thinking. Don't be fooled by their current enthusiasm; once the review videos come out, they'll all place orders.
After all, AMD doesn't really have any good products at the same price point.
Just as a few audience members were still casually tossing their toys around, a new, densely packed parameter table appeared on the screen…
Every line is astonishing.
2048 stream processors.
The core base frequency is 1126MHz, and the boost frequency is 1216MHz.
4GB TFS storage, 256-bit bus width.
Thermal Design Power 165W
When these impressive specifications were revealed, everyone in the audience gasped – the price should go up!
This is what a real toothpaste product looks like when it's squeezed out of its tube.
"Compared to the previous generation GTX 780 series, the GTX 980 series offers an overall improvement of 62%."
A simple comparison of parameters instantly won over the gaming experts present.
They immediately turned their guns on AMD, and those who had just become 10-year AMD fans all jumped back in.
"In addition to the performance improvement, the power consumption is also 30% lower than the GTX 780 series."
In other words, you get almost double the performance with less electricity.
Of course, these are just specifications on paper; we still need to look at actual testing. First, let's take a look at Crysis 3.
The audience was surprised once again. Although the game was released last year, it was dubbed a "hardware killer" as soon as it hit the market.
Some people ignored the manufacturer's warnings and forcibly overclocked... Although the game graphics improved in a short time, the graphics card burned out in less than half an hour.
That's why it earned the nickname "hardware killer".
Unexpectedly, Lao Huang made a comparison directly at the press conference. While they were still in shock, a promotional video had already appeared on the big screen.
可以看出在《孤岛危机3》1080p最高画质的情况下，上一代GTX780平均只能跑到38帧，但这一次的GTX980直接跑到了62帧。
A steady full frame rate!
"Holy crap, that's 62%? That's almost a 100% increase, it's maxed out!"
"Rich guy's toys..."
"I don't know if everyone is satisfied with this truth. Let's take a look at Battlefield 4's multiplayer mode. In the previous generation, we could only run at 45 frames per second. So how many frames per second can the GTX 980 of this generation maintain?
Let's all look at the big screen!
