00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:07,040
okay so continuing my GeForce gtx480 coverage I thought you know what what's

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:11,280
one of the big problems people have with all the current generation graphics

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,879
cards wait if you're shipping a system or even if you're installing your system

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:19,400
uh in one place but then you have to move it somewhere else all of this

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:22,480
weight hanging off the PCI Express slot and then the one little screw at the

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:26,400
back could be a little bit of a problem so I thought I'd take the 480 because it

7
00:00:24,439 --> 00:00:30,320
has such a beefy cooling system and compare the weight to a couple other

8
00:00:28,439 --> 00:00:33,800
top-of the range cards on the market so why don't we start with the gtx480 I'm

9
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:40,879
going to put it on my little scale here and I'll hold this up for you to see so

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:43,840
this is a 2 lb graphics card that is all

11
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:47,879
2B all right so then why don't I compare it to the 5870 because I know at NC

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:53,039
we've been having a little bit of trouble shipping systems with with these

13
00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:57,800
Radeon 5000 series graphics cards so this is also a 2-b graphics card so it's

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,519
quite possible that our assembly department will need to ship your system

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,320
if you have a GTX 480 in it they'll might need to ship it separately and

16
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:11,960
then have you install it yourself so I'll make a point of doing an installation video for the gtx480 in the

17
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:17,040
uh next little while but just to get that point of reference why don't we

18
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:19,280
take the biggest bad boy of a uh of a

19
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:24,119
graphics card out there this is the GT GTX HD

20
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:30,560
5970 and let's throw that on the scale for comparison so this is a 2.6 PB

21
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:35,799
graphics card that is uh about 30% more than either of those

22
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:40,240
other two graphics cards but it also has 200% more gpus on it so you got to kind

23
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:45,479
of go easy on it there so thank you for checking out my quick video on the

24
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,479
weight of the GTX 48
