Loved the ending @wendell

We need more endings like that

See now this is a card that can actually play GTA V.

By itself! It's the best of both worlds!

Machine Learning & Games! :tada:

Oh, where were you guys when I was trying to convince my parents to buy me hardware? If I'd had "almost 500 cats per second faster" in my pitch, I'd have been on my way to a computer science-upgrade in no time...

Great video as always, I love the skits and your way of highlighting the cool aspects of hardware beyond the obvious. I would never have thought half as seriously of buying any 1080 as I have of this one, thanks to seeing how you guys have shown something cool you can do with it beyond frame rates. Admittedly an idle curiosity (lol I prefer to eat), but still... xD

So this card will allow me to create a robot which autonomously finds cats and posts cute cat videos to youtube? That's how you make the money via machine learning, right?

The machine learning bit was awesome. Very unique and interesting. Gaming benchmarks? Meh.

That's exactly why i subscirbed. At school we worked in Weka a bit. We loaded a "weather" sample and the program would calculate the probability of ... it was something to do with % of likeliness that the person would go out. Anyway forgot most of it. Nice video original and funny as always.

PS: Outside of computer science. The incesed speed of the vram heavily affects performance in programs like Substance painter(CG texture work), Unreal Engine (Game enignes) The jump can be massive. From stuttering 4K painting to smooth.

there is also a twitch stream where you can watch the AI evolve in 'real time'

I just watched it execute a perfect J turn twice after falling off a cliff in pitch darkness.

Then road rage bumper ram a car infront before overtaking once the oncoming lane was open.

In some ways it's amazing, in others it's amazingly dumb :laughing:

EDIT: Found the page with more details

Eh not feeling this video, over year since this product released(I understand you get it when you get it so not that big of a deal). Talked tons on the software side of this but there is a down side of that (eh more or less just to long on the "features" like what % of failure does the more automated process really make) Just felt like a more of an Add then an actual review until you get to over 1/2 the video in. Overall score C, have deff seen better from you guys.

Everyone's already done a GTX 1080 review, There's tons of info out there.

Looking at the title of this it should have been clear that this isn't really about the card.

See now you're contradicting yourself. :smiley:

How so?

-Eh not feeling this video, over year since this product released(I understand you get it when you get it so not that big of a deal). /// Literally say its fine you get stuff when you get it not bashing on that just commenting

-Talked tons on the software side of this but there is a down side of that (eh more or less just to long on the "features" like what % of failure does the more automated process really make) Just felt like a more of an Add then an actual review until you get to over 1/2 the video in. /// saying that it was over 1/2 an add for the card and less on the "topic"

-Overall score C, have deff seen better from you guys. /// Just stating its not a very well done video imo, everyone can have their own

EDIT: Content starts 9:03 out of a 17:05 video Aprox 53% of video

Were any cats harmed in the making of this video?

Also with the ending you need to start a new YT channel...L1T After Dark. You know... so you can compare flops, and stuff, giggity.

You have awaken my interest in machine learning!
I already own a 1070, I won't be able to purchase something else.
Could I be able to do something with it? or would I be wasting my time with it?

I have done stuff with a 770. You surely can do things with a 1070!

That is only the beginning !

It's a good break from the Monotony, All I see on youtube nowadays is copy-paste benchmarks

This wasn't about game benchmarks. What else can you do with a card that's almost a year old, Doing a machine learning bit was genius

Nice political slice of my statement taken out of context.
