GTX Titan Xp STAR WARS EDITION SLI Test & Classic Unboxing

The video opens with the host evaluating the GTX Titan Xp Star Wars Edition cards, focusing on whether the Star Wars branding on the cooler and case elements represents meaningful changes or just cosmetic flair. The host questions if there are any substantive design changes beyond the surface, referencing Nvidia teaser footage and expressing curiosity about the practical impact of the Collector's Edition’s finishes. He notes the case aesthetics, the aged finish, and the potential value of keeping or unboxing the cards, while balancing the enjoyment of the presentation against the typical collector value. The unboxing segment reveals the two distinct Star Wars themed GPUs, highlighting differences in branding, backplate design, and fan covers. The host comments on the lack of a DVI port and transitions to installing the cards on a Zenith Extreme testbench, setting up the lighting effects and initial power connections. The video then captures the moment of powering up the first card, with attention to LED lighting around the fan and under the grill, and the intricate wiring of the LED strip inside the heatsink. Throughout, he switches between the Galactic Empire and Jedi Order variants, comparing build quality, finish, and cooling aesthetics, while mentioning the hardware's potential for SLI and the humorous tension of a cross-compatibility test. The mid to late portion of the video shows the two cards in SLI, with the host marveling at the visual clash of themes, and illustrating the challenges of proper driver and firmware interaction, before concluding with a call for audience input on future Star Wars themed builds and experiments. The video ends on a playful note about continuing the Star Wars themed project series and invites viewer suggestions for further experiments with the two edition cards.
