Hello everyone, I'm Steve from Gamers Nexus.net, and we're currently at AMD's booth at CES 2016, primarily looking at the limited Polaris display right now. However, there's some other cool stuff that we'll be talking about as well before getting to that. All this content from CES 2016 is brought to you by IB Powers Revolt 2 small form factor gaming PC.

As we look at Polaris right now, there's a limited sort of blackbox demo where Polaris is on my left, and then there's a GTX 950 on the other side. What is being shown here is primarily the power draw so you're looking at performance per watt. Right now, both systems are locked to 60 FPS in Battlefront through the configuration we asked if we could unlock it, but that's not possible right now as far as the frame rate goes. It's meeting 60 on both cards, the 950 and the Polaris GPU which is yet unnamed, a lot of specs still not out there.

The performance in terms of wattage is currently 73 on Polaris and 129 on the GTX 9 50. Once the game's out of the menu and actual gameplay we're seeing closer to 90 on Polaris and 140-150 on the GTX 950. That's really all we have for the actual demonstration in terms of why this is happening. It's primarily due to the move to fin FET, a new process node for Polaris.

This fin FET technology is literally shaped like a fin with transistor walls on the sides that help prevent leakage and improve power efficiency. This technology has been around for a little while now and has been used in some Intel stuff; it's also used elsewhere. So, that's moved to fin FET. Another wattage improvement comes from GCN, so there's a new GCN architecture versioning with Polaris again, not a ton of details right now.

On the CU side, on the GCN architecture side, this is supposed to be improved with performance for that as well. We'll move over to the Razer laptop next that is actually connected to an external GPU. We've looked at these previously with Silverstone; I don't think there's ever been a product from them before, but there was a Silverstone external GPU enclosure and we've seen it with Alienware as well, using proprietary connections instead of USB type C.

So, we're going to look at that next and then check the article in the description below to read about some other stuff here like HDR and SDR versus between displays; this is a pretty big deal that you should definitely read more about. Thank you for watching; check the next video for Razer laptop information and hit that Patreon link in the postal video if you want to help us out. I'll see you all next time.
