00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:21,080
more welcome to my unboxing and first look at something where

5
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:22,560
oh am I just trolling you guys this is

6
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:32,079
no no don't worry what's actually in here is not an 8800 GT this is the

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:34,760
GeForce GTX 770 from NVIDIA so this is a

8
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:40,360
new generation product a 700 series product but what you'll notice is it

9
00:00:36,879 --> 00:00:43,760
actually shares a lot in common with the

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:48,160
last generation GTX 680 so it has the

11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:51,239
same GK 104 core so that is it to say

12
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:54,359
that it has a 256-bit memory bus the

13
00:00:51,239 --> 00:00:55,800
stock card has 2 gigs of RAM but there

14
00:00:54,359 --> 00:01:00,559
are non-reference cards that are going to be available with up to 4 gigs of RAM

15
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:05,000
however the RAM is where the really special part of this video card really

16
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:10,080
comes into play because this is the first graphics card on Earth to ship

17
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:14,439
with 7 GHz gddr5 what that means is more memory

18
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,320
bandwidth and we've actually already done a fair bit of testing on this card

19
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:23,320
so what I can tell you right now is that yeah the higher clock speeds versus the

20
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:25,640
GTX 680 yeah this is a 7D class card

21
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:30,520
that is pretty much a replacement for the last generation Flagship GTX 680

22
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:35,200
except that it's actually even faster so yeah it's got higher clock speeds but

23
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:41,079
particularly at higher resolution so greater than 1080p that extra memory

24
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:43,680
bandwidth helps a lot for it to really

25
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:49,040
pull ahead of the GTX 680 it also supports some other new cool 700 series

26
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:53,000
features such as GPU boost 2 so GPU boost 2 allows this card instead of

27
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:58,439
relying just on information about voltage clock speed and then the overall

28
00:01:55,799 --> 00:02:03,920
power Target of the board now is able to compensate for temperature as as well so

29
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:06,840
if you tell it GTX 670 I am comfortable

30
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:11,680
with you running at 90° it'll kind of go okay Roger Dodger and then if you put a

31
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:16,519
water block on it so it's running at you know 45 degrees no matter what you do

32
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:21,920
then it will continue to strive to Turbo itself up to the absolute maximum clock

33
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:26,519
speed that it can sustain all the time no matter what now the GeForce

34
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,920
experience came out of beta with GTX 780 and obviously it supports the GTX 770 as

35
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:35,040
well what that means is you've always got the latest drivers and you've got

36
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:38,319
recommendations for the settings that you should run in the various games you

37
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:42,239
have on your computer so that you're never running it wrong I mean honestly

38
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:46,360
my little brother's a great case of this I hope he's not watching this video but

39
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:51,640
I gave the kid a GTX 275 this was a couple years ago back when that was like

40
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:57,680
you know a pretty decent card and I go over and he's running some Call of Duty

41
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:59,480
game at low details at like 1280 by 800

42
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:03,879
or something ridiculous like that on his 108 DP monitor I'm just I'm looking at

43
00:03:01,239 --> 00:03:07,920
the kid I'm like really you're not let it's running at like 300 frames per

44
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:10,200
second you can actually turn the details St I turned the game up and he was like

45
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:16,440
oh that's what it's supposed to look like yeah that's what it's supposed to look like so GeForce experience maybe

46
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:19,080
isn't for you the viewer right now maybe it's not for you at all maybe you don't

47
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:24,080
care maybe you want to dial in your own settings personally I do but maybe it's

48
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,720
for someone that you're recommending a card for where you know that they're

49
00:03:25,959 --> 00:03:31,519
just not capable of remembering to upgrade their own drivers or choose

50
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:35,519
their own setting so there you go I hope my brother's not watching this um also

51
00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:39,080
NVIDIA is going to be introducing a new feature in GeForce experience called

52
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:44,000
Shadow play which is going to allow you to use the built-in h264 encoder on your

53
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:48,519
card at a nominal performance hit maybe about 5% to record your gameplay up to

54
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:52,480
the last 20 minutes of gameplay on the fly all the time so you never miss a

55
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:57,400
moment when you're making up your gameplay videos or or whatever else very

56
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:01,879
cool stuff all the usual NVIDIA Technologies are supported SLI up to

57
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,200
three-way now NVIDIA yeah they have cards that support four-way but they're

58
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:10,000
really not talking about four-way SLI anymore it really doesn't scale very

59
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:14,200
well two-way SLI scales great on this card three-way SLI is going to scale

60
00:04:11,959 --> 00:04:18,880
okay at higher resolutions four-way SLI tends to not scale that much so it does

61
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:23,759
support all the SLI whichever ones you want it has a six pin and 8 Pin power

62
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:28,080
adapter the TDP of this card is slightly higher than the GTX 680 that it comes in

63
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:32,759
and replaces but don't worry because the price is lower which is what going to

64
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:37,720
make this card so attractive is that not only do you get that GTX 680 performance

65
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:43,440
but I've seen a lot of speculation that from the leaked pictures of GTX 670 that

66
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:45,520
NVIDIA was building not quite the same

67
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:51,360
level of quality of a cooler that they put on the Titan and the 780 with its

68
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:55,840
aluminum construction and polycarbonate window on the aluminum fins with the

69
00:04:53,400 --> 00:05:00,120
noise dampened fan that's actually got an updated profile that makes the car

70
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:06,000
not only run fast but also incred ibly quietly and illuminated GeForce GTX logo

71
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:12,800
on the top all of that is false this features the same level of quality of

72
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:14,400
cool cool the same cool cooler that has

73
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,520
a high level of quality that's what I meant to say and it looks absolutely

74
00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:25,319
outstanding in your rig and now you can I mean I have heard people buy Titans

75
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:29,759
because they love the way it looks now you can get the look and a lot of the

76
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:35,840
performance for a significantly lower cost with that said no this card is not

77
00:05:32,919 --> 00:05:40,840
gk10 based it is not in the same league as Titan and GTX 780 but what it does do

78
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:45,039
is it comes in an attractive price point and is able to deliver better

79
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:49,000
performance than the outgoing GTX 680 particularly at higher resolutions

80
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:53,400
you've got full support for NVIDIA 3D Vision surround allowing you to have up

81
00:05:50,919 --> 00:05:58,520
to three plus one displays so three and Surround with one auxiliary display and

82
00:05:56,039 --> 00:06:04,560
of course stereo 3D on supported 3D Vision enabled monitors PCI Express 3.0

83
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:08,000
interface is down here on the bottom and most of the exhaust from this card is

84
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:12,280
going to go out the back of your case while some of it will go out these fins

85
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:17,599
here and that's going to help cool some of the voltage regulation modules on the

86
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:21,680
PCB itself I think that pretty much does it for my GTX 770 overview don't forget

87
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:26,400
to check out my review content for this card as well where we walk you through

88
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,919
the nitty-gritty of its performance thanks for watching and don't forget to
