1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,879 today I have an unboxing with a purpose 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:11,599 this card is going to be used as a comparison point in another video that 3 00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:18,080 um I guess by the time you see this will probably already be up this is the ASUS 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:20,880 eah 5770 CU core and I will explain what 5 00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:27,119 all that means first of all EA means it's an isus graphics card H is 6 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:33,480 short for HD because ASUS felt the need to further shorten that and then 577 is 7 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:38,280 the actual model so it's a Radeon HD 8 00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:42,640 5770 CU is the uh sign for the element 9 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:46,719 copper and core so it has a cooler with 10 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:49,559 up to 5.8 oz of copper rod and it runs 11 00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:55,039 11% cooler so it means there is a copper slug CU in the cooler for this video 12 00:00:52,840 --> 00:01:01,039 card and in theory that should help it to run cooler it has 1 gig of gddr5 it 13 00:00:58,519 --> 00:01:05,960 supports voltage tweaking uh and I think that's pretty much allus 14 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:10,200 says about it on the front of the Box this is a direct X11 graphics card I 15 00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:16,840 believe I've already unboxed a 5770 at one point but uh I no longer have that 16 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:19,840 card I needed another 5770 this one is 17 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:22,040 extremely popular at NC the store that I 18 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,439 work at so I figured why not have a look at this one let's see what it comes with 19 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:31,280 let's see what the card looks like and uh it should be fun so let's check out 20 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:36,399 the accessories first we've got two Molex connectors one PCI Express six pin 21 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:41,119 connector well those are all the same connector it's an adapter piece we have 22 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:49,399 one crossfire Bridge one DVI to HDMI oh rather that's 23 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,560 an HDMI to DVI adapter so this card 24 00:01:49,399 --> 00:01:56,799 actually features native HDMI so the way it achieves dual DVI output is via that 25 00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:00,399 adapter which is fine uh we have a VGA driver throw it away download the latest 26 00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:04,240 from the AMD website Gra graphics card multilanguage manual okay so it has a CD 27 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,759 manual that you might not want to throw away and speed setup so that is 28 00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:13,239 evidently a quick start guide in a number of different languages okay let's 29 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:22,400 have a look at the card itself this is big for a 5770 it's quite a large 30 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,000 card let go ahead and break the seal 31 00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:30,920 this is something I've grown very accustomed to here's something I'm not 32 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:36,519 accustomed to uh this is a an anti-static bag that 33 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:41,519 actually opens from the top of the card rather than opening uh lengthwise I have 34 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:49,040 never seen one that does this before for a graphics card oh they're using the 35 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:53,000 sexy matte black PCB look at that you 36 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:58,360 know I haven't seen that quite this nice 37 00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:02,040 since uh the XFX 8800 GT their 8800 GTS 38 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:05,720 had that that nice matte black PCB with 39 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:08,159 the matte black metal accents on it the 40 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:13,799 uh the plastic shroud on the CU core cooler is also in like a nice matte 41 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:18,360 black ASUS really nailed the aesthetic of this card they really really got it 42 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:22,360 this is a dual slot card as you can see so even though there's nothing here the 43 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,879 fan is dual slot width and it does use a dual PCI back plate this appears to be 44 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:32,959 an 80 mm fan you can actually see the copper slug right there and then the uh 45 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,640 radio in aluminum fins so it is not an 46 00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:40,640 external exhaust card although you're probably going to get a little bit of incidental air flow from the fan blowing 47 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:43,280 heat out here not a ton though uh one 48 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:47,280 thing that's kind of weird is the the PC B design actually looks a little bit 49 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,519 backwards on this guy uh you can see all the power regulation circuitry is over 50 00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:57,680 here where normally you'd find it next to the power connector at the back of the card it does use one PCIe 6 pin 51 00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:02,000 power cable to power the card in addition to the slot down here 52 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:06,000 yeah that is weird like look how far back on the PCB the GPU is mounted 53 00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:11,319 here's your RAM chips I'm going to go ahead and assume that there's another yeah there's another four on the other 54 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:16,359 side there and uh you've got your one crossfire Bridge right 55 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:21,639 connector piece right there like that shiny ASUS logo that's very nice see 56 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:26,919 that all right on the back we will find as I mentioned before one DVI one HDMI 57 00:04:24,919 --> 00:04:32,680 so it does support dual DVI output remember it does do audio via HDMI like 58 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:37,080 all HD series cards it has a VGA connector just in case you're still 59 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:43,800 running a very old Monitor and it runs off a standard PCI Express 16x interface 60 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:47,280 thank you for checking out the unboxing 61 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:51,199 that I did today of the assus CU core 62 00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:55,680 version of their radon 63 00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:55,680 5770 graphics card
