1 00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:10,240 So today we're going to be doing an unboxing of the EVGA GeForce GTX 570 so 2 00:00:06,399 --> 00:00:14,920 this is NVIDIA's latest edition to their 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:17,640 GTX 500 series family so the first card 4 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:23,480 with the GTX 500 series name was the GTX 580 so that was 5 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:28,760 uh if you've followed NVIDIA's naming schemes over the last well I guess the 6 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:34,440 last few Generations the 80 would be the highest end single GPU typically 7 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:37,200 although we had seen a an 85 which was a 8 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:46,120 refresh and then the 70 would be the next one down so this is basically a 9 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:48,920 slightly a slightly cut down GTX 580 so 10 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:54,000 here as we get this open I'll tell you some of the key differences between the 11 00:00:51,360 --> 00:01:00,519 570 and the 580 so first of all the 570 has fewer functional units that is uh 12 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:03,640 fewer shaders uh fewer Cuda Cor 13 00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:06,080 all of that kind of stuff okay it also 14 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:09,520 has less RAM so I'm going to show you guys the box now we're going to sort of 15 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:16,200 talk about that for a bit it has less video memory so that's only 16 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:19,840 1.28 GB versus the 1.5 gigs on the GTX 17 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:23,159 580 so even though this has less video 18 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:25,240 memory than the GTX 480 right now it 19 00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:29,720 looks like performance is quite similar power consumption is much lower and uh 20 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,320 yeah it looks like obviously the price is is quite a bit lower as well we've 21 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:38,680 got full support for NVIDIA's latest Technologies including 3D Vision 22 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:41,200 surround physx direct X11 and SLI and 23 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:45,880 that includes three-way SLI on this particular card let's go ahead and have 24 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:51,000 a look at the back I think there's not much here that we don't already know 25 00:01:48,759 --> 00:01:56,479 very very similar specs overall to the GTX 580 the key differences are like I 26 00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:00,439 said before it is a little bit more cut down it's a little bit slower but it 27 00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:05,719 also comes in at a very attractive price so it comes with a poster which I'm 28 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:12,239 going to go ahead and sort of carefully unfold here for you guys an EVGA gaming 29 00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:16,400 poster no less which is a skull with 30 00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:19,720 some like Wicked like guns or 31 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:23,319 something okay very nice very nice touch 32 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,959 to you VGA then we have a user guide 33 00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:28,440 which shows you presumably how to install it how to install your drivers 34 00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:33,000 we have a driver disc don't use this download the latest off the NVIDIA 35 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:39,319 website as well as a powered by EVGA sticker for the front of your case next 36 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:42,440 we have the accessories I like evga's uh 37 00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:45,200 environmentally friendly and recyclable 38 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:48,120 packaging which you can clearly see here let's have a look at what we've got in 39 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:56,080 terms of accessories so the first thing we have is a mini HDMI to HDMI cable in 40 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:58,519 evga's classic shiny wrapper with EVGA 41 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,360 logo on the back I haven't actually seen that with a graphics card before I've 42 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:07,440 only really seen that in their motherboard packages so then we've got a 43 00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:08,599 dual MOX to PCIe six pin adapter another 44 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:14,599 of the same and finally a DVI to VGA adapter 45 00:03:12,519 --> 00:03:19,280 although if you're really upgrading to a $350 graphics card today please please 46 00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:24,159 upgrade your monitor if you're still using VGA please all right next we have 47 00:03:22,799 --> 00:03:28,080 a little warning please allow the graphics card to cool for a minimum of 2 48 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:33,080 minutes after operation before removing it from your system interesting you 49 00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:39,239 don't want to burn yourself after all all right and let's go 50 00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:41,280 ahead and take off the caution 51 00:03:39,239 --> 00:03:45,080 electrostatic sensitive devices do not open or handle except at a static free 52 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:53,519 workstation all right and let's get this card out I've 53 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:57,840 actually got a GTX 580 here with me for comparison so we'll be able to uh hold 54 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:04,079 them up next to each other all right so the first thing we 55 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,920 see is that the GTX 570 looks very 56 00:04:04,079 --> 00:04:11,760 similar to the 580 the overall shrouded cooler design is uh something that we've 57 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:16,479 seen on NVIDIA cards since gee pretty much the 8800 Series where we've got a 58 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,280 uh a fan at the back here so this is a pwm controlled fan and we better hold on 59 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:24,479 pause for a minute and we've also got a little EVGA 60 00:04:22,919 --> 00:04:28,720 sticker here so I'm just going to go ahead and remove the if I can remove the 61 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:33,639 cover on it then I'll go ahead and remove that 62 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,800 there we are okay cool okay and then 63 00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:39,919 we've got a rear exhaust sort of setup so you can see there's actually no 64 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:44,320 access to the fan whatsoever through here we can just see the uh the Shroud 65 00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:48,120 itself and then if we move around to the other side you can see that all of the 66 00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:52,919 air is being exhausted out of the case now there's a couple different design 67 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:57,120 philosophies for video card coolers so one of them is that the video card 68 00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:02,000 because it produces a lot of heat inside the case should be cooled sort of 69 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:05,600 adequately but we should remove as much of the heat as possible from the case 70 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:11,000 through an exhaust vent whereas the other philosophy is that we should design sort of a more open air cooler 71 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:16,560 that does a better job of cooling the VGA core frankly but exhausts heat 72 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:22,160 inside the case so the air we're using to cool the video card isn't actually as 73 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,880 cool so there's uh obviously evga's uh 74 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:28,560 taken the NVIDIA reference design approach to this one using the rear 75 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:35,319 exhaust cooler so we've got two six pin PCIe power connect up here at the top 76 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:37,479 couple EVGA stickers then we've also got 77 00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:42,319 uh SLI headers that are compatible with both two-way so you just use a single 78 00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:43,680 header as well as three-way SLI U moving 79 00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:47,800 around to the back which we actually sort of looked at already but I'll show 80 00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:53,199 you again we have two DVI connectors One Mini HDMI please do note you can only 81 00:05:50,039 --> 00:05:55,840 use two at a time so either this one and 82 00:05:53,199 --> 00:06:00,560 this one or this one so you can't use all three at the same time to get NVIDIA 83 00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:06,479 surround going you do have to have two matching GTX 570 cards the back of the 84 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:12,560 PCB actually looks pretty much identical to the 580 from what uh from what I can 85 00:06:09,599 --> 00:06:16,199 recall so um what we'd probably find if we took the cooler off is that even 86 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,160 though there's solder points for all of this memory actually here you can 87 00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:23,840 clearly see there's components on the back here but these ones don't have 88 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:28,720 memory chips installed on them so that's where we get the difference in RAM 89 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,000 capacity between the 570 and the 580 90 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:34,960 we've got a standard PCI Express 16x interface down here at the bottom that 91 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:39,680 is PCI Express 2 so it's double the bandwidth of the old PCI Express 1 and I 92 00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:44,880 think that's pretty much everything there is to say about it uh 93 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,880 evga's I guess their value ad their brand value is a few different things 94 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:52,479 first of all they have their stepup program which allows you within a 95 00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:57,800 certain window of time to take your GTX 570 let's say NVIDIA you know kind of uh 96 00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:02,080 had the 570 on the market only for like a month and then they go and release 97 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:08,520 like a 575 or something EVGA stepup program allows you to trade in your old 98 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:10,479 570 and then pay like the difference to 99 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:15,280 get the new 575 so it's a pretty cool program they also have their lifetime 100 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,440 warranty as well as 24/7 tech support so 101 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:22,560 those are some of the EVGA differences and I'll actually um show you guys also 102 00:07:21,039 --> 00:07:27,199 what they have to say for themselves so besides their EVGA Precision Tool which 103 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:31,080 is uh an overclocking utility they've also got some of their selling points 104 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,360 here so that the number one seller they're the number one in reliability 105 00:07:32,599 --> 00:07:38,520 and service according to uh some survey somewhere and they're the performance 106 00:07:36,479 --> 00:07:42,479 leader in 3D Mark vage although 3D Mark 11 was released today so it's going to 107 00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:47,159 be Off to the Races all over again for all the crazy overclocking guys and then 108 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:52,560 number one folding at home team in the world so thank you for checking out my 109 00:07:48,599 --> 00:07:54,080 unboxing of the EVGA
