WEBVTT 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 00:00:06.399 --> 00:00:14.920 this is NVIDIA's latest edition to their 00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:17.640 GTX 500 series family so the first card 00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:23.480 with the GTX 500 series name was the GTX 580 so that was 00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:28.760 uh if you've followed NVIDIA's naming schemes over the last well I guess the 00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:34.440 last few Generations the 80 would be the highest end single GPU typically 00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:37.200 although we had seen a an 85 which was a 00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:46.120 refresh and then the 70 would be the next one down so this is basically a 00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:48.920 slightly a slightly cut down GTX 580 so 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 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 00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:03.640 fewer shaders uh fewer Cuda Cor 00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:06.080 all of that kind of stuff okay it also 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 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:16.200 talk about that for a bit it has less video memory so that's only 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:19.840 1.28 GB versus the 1.5 gigs on the GTX 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:23.159 580 so even though this has less video 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:25.240 memory than the GTX 480 right now it 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:29.720 looks like performance is quite similar power consumption is much lower and uh 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 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:38.680 got full support for NVIDIA's latest Technologies including 3D Vision 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:41.200 surround physx direct X11 and SLI and 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:45.880 that includes three-way SLI on this particular card let's go ahead and have 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 00:01:48.759 --> 00:01:56.479 very very similar specs overall to the GTX 580 the key differences are like I 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 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 00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:12.239 going to go ahead and sort of carefully unfold here for you guys an EVGA gaming 00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:16.400 poster no less which is a skull with 00:02:12.239 --> 00:02:19.720 some like Wicked like guns or 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:23.319 something okay very nice very nice touch 00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:24.959 to you VGA then we have a user guide 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:28.440 which shows you presumably how to install it how to install your drivers 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:33.000 we have a driver disc don't use this download the latest off the NVIDIA 00:02:30.040 --> 00:02:39.319 website as well as a powered by EVGA sticker for the front of your case next 00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:42.440 we have the accessories I like evga's uh 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:45.200 environmentally friendly and recyclable 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 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 00:02:52.440 --> 00:02:58.519 evga's classic shiny wrapper with EVGA 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 00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:07.440 only really seen that in their motherboard packages so then we've got a 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:08.599 dual MOX to PCIe six pin adapter another 00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:14.599 of the same and finally a DVI to VGA adapter 00:03:12.519 --> 00:03:19.280 although if you're really upgrading to a $350 graphics card today please please 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:24.159 upgrade your monitor if you're still using VGA please all right next we have 00:03:22.799 --> 00:03:28.080 a little warning please allow the graphics card to cool for a minimum of 2 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:33.080 minutes after operation before removing it from your system interesting you 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:39.239 don't want to burn yourself after all all right and let's go 00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:41.280 ahead and take off the caution 00:03:39.239 --> 00:03:45.080 electrostatic sensitive devices do not open or handle except at a static free 00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:53.519 workstation all right and let's get this card out I've 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 00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:04.079 them up next to each other all right so the first thing we 00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:06.920 see is that the GTX 570 looks very 00:04:04.079 --> 00:04:11.760 similar to the 580 the overall shrouded cooler design is uh something that we've 00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:16.479 seen on NVIDIA cards since gee pretty much the 8800 Series where we've got a 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 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:24.479 pause for a minute and we've also got a little EVGA 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 00:04:27.080 --> 00:04:33.639 cover on it then I'll go ahead and remove that 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:35.800 there we are okay cool okay and then 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 00:04:37.320 --> 00:04:44.320 access to the fan whatsoever through here we can just see the uh the Shroud 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 00:04:46.280 --> 00:04:52.919 air is being exhausted out of the case now there's a couple different design 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:57.120 philosophies for video card coolers so one of them is that the video card 00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:02.000 because it produces a lot of heat inside the case should be cooled sort of 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:05.600 adequately but we should remove as much of the heat as possible from the case 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 00:05:09.400 --> 00:05:16.560 that does a better job of cooling the VGA core frankly but exhausts heat 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 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:23.880 cool so there's uh obviously evga's uh 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:28.560 taken the NVIDIA reference design approach to this one using the rear 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 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:37.479 couple EVGA stickers then we've also got 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:42.319 uh SLI headers that are compatible with both two-way so you just use a single 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:43.680 header as well as three-way SLI U moving 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:47.800 around to the back which we actually sort of looked at already but I'll show 00:05:45.479 --> 00:05:53.199 you again we have two DVI connectors One Mini HDMI please do note you can only 00:05:50.039 --> 00:05:55.840 use two at a time so either this one and 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 00:05:58.479 --> 00:06:06.479 surround going you do have to have two matching GTX 570 cards the back of the 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:12.560 PCB actually looks pretty much identical to the 580 from what uh from what I can 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 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:19.160 though there's solder points for all of this memory actually here you can 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:23.840 clearly see there's components on the back here but these ones don't have 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:28.720 memory chips installed on them so that's where we get the difference in RAM 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:31.000 capacity between the 570 and the 580 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:34.960 we've got a standard PCI Express 16x interface down here at the bottom that 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 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:44.880 think that's pretty much everything there is to say about it uh 00:06:42.440 --> 00:06:47.880 evga's I guess their value ad their brand value is a few different things 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:52.479 first of all they have their stepup program which allows you within a 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 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 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:08.520 like a 575 or something EVGA stepup program allows you to trade in your old 00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:10.479 570 and then pay like the difference to 00:07:08.520 --> 00:07:15.280 get the new 575 so it's a pretty cool program they also have their lifetime 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:17.440 warranty as well as 24/7 tech support so 00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:22.560 those are some of the EVGA differences and I'll actually um show you guys also 00:07:21.039 --> 00:07:27.199 what they have to say for themselves so besides their EVGA Precision Tool which 00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:31.080 is uh an overclocking utility they've also got some of their selling points 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:35.360 here so that the number one seller they're the number one in reliability 00:07:32.599 --> 00:07:38.520 and service according to uh some survey somewhere and they're the performance 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 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:47.159 be Off to the Races all over again for all the crazy overclocking guys and then 00:07:45.080 --> 00:07:52.560 number one folding at home team in the world so thank you for checking out my 00:07:48.599 --> 00:07:54.080 unboxing of the EVGA GeForce GTX 570 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:59.360 don't forget to subscribe to lus
