gig but there's something here that you need to make a note of this is the SE which uh in computer terms it usually stands for uh slightly reduced Edition so the GTX 461 gig SE actually performs at low resolutions similarly to the GTX 460 768 mix but performs a little bit better at higher resolutions so it's a bit of a it's a bit of an oddball part and not all of the NVIDIA board Partners even came out with one this is a Gigabyte card by the way and so all of the board Partners were given free rign there's no reference design so they were given free reign to design it however they wanted so this is the Gigabyte version that's what we're going to be having a look at today let's start with the packaging it is like all GeForce GTX 460s 3D Vision ready Cuda ready SL ready physx ready all that good NVIDIA stuff this particular one comes Factory overclock so in terms of that performance you may find it performs a little bit better than a normal GTX 460 SE okay mind you you could do that overclocking yourself it has a three-year warranty in the US and Canada it comes with their wind Force air anti- turbulence cooling cooler which we're going to have a look at once we get this opened up as well as Ultra durable VGA which has all of these things going for it Ultra durable is a bit of a carryover from gigabytes motherboard technology so here we see it has one gig of gddr5 2 56 bit memory interface that other stuff we already pretty much talked about and what else do we have here oh okay they're going to give us some more explanation of the anti- turbulence cooling wind Force so 2x anti- turbulence inclined fins okay the latest cooling Gigabyte understands the fan is crucial to the graphics cards so only the fan with the most efficiency select for windforce ultra quiet pwm fans anti- turbulence inclined fins okay pure copper heat pipes okay so they're saying it's h silent and helps Heats can spread effectively from hot areas all right let's get this card opened up and have a look I'm tired of looking at the box I think I'm zoomed in right now there we go all right GTX 460 SE the first thing we will find inside is a user manual and multilingual installation guide as well as a driver disc throw the driver disc away keep the installation guide just in case you need it next we have two Molex so dual Molex two single six pin PCIe adapters although I'll go with my usual recommendation that if you're buying a graphics card that requires 2 PCI E6 pins you should probably have a power supply that already has them we have a mini HDMI two HDMI adapter so I guess uh we can assume that the card is going to have mini HDMI we also have a DVI to VGA adapter if you are still using a VGA monitor it looks like the packaging has been uh repurposed a little bit from a longer graphics card since you can see there's quite a bit of space at the end of the 460s okay just a regular piece of tape holding the anti-static bag on there we are open that up okay so we find a characteristic although I don't know how much longer I'm going to be able to say that because some of their new motherboards feature matte black pcbs I can't really talk about those yet but they look so nice anyway we see a characteristic blue Gigabyte PCB uh on the other side actually well here let's flip it around this way first so we've got those two six pin PCIe connectors for power here's the inclined th uh what's it called wind Force yes wind Force cooler which actually looks pretty sweet it's got like a nice shiny uh Darth Vader esque sort of black going on here very very glossy I really like it and then we've got a couple of what appear to be 60 mm oh those could even no I think those are 80 mm fans you know what funny Gigabyte actually doesn't specify on the outside of their box that's a very strange thing you'd think they would You' think they'd mention something like that but yeah those look like 80 mm fans and then we have two nice big heat pipes going from the actual GPU core which hopefully you can see down there out to the very ends of the wind Force ex now what they mean by anti- turbulence I'm just going to try to figure out a little bit I think what they mean is the way that the fins are inclined they're not actually quite flat so they're inclined this way and then you can see the fans compared to the card I hope you can see that are actually inclined a little bit too so I think the idea is that it's uh rather than the air like kind of slamming into a surface right away it's more like a gradual approach to it and it lets it kind of cut through it uh rather than just uh creating more noise and more well there turbulence that's my theory anyway I could be wrong it's happened before all right so here we are on the top of the card where we find an SLI finger i' I see so many people commenting on my channel well what if you run GTX 460 in three-way SLI well you can't because there's only a single SLI figure that a finger that goes for uh ATI cards or AMD cards as well if there's only a single connector you can only run two-way multi-GPU configurations if you have two of those connectors you can run three or even four-way and that's driver dependent but yeah if there's only one you can only run two way so here we have our mini HDMI which they haven't included adapter for then we have two DVI ports we also have a vented whoa drop the card uh vented PCI back plates so you're not going to get a whole lot of exhaust out of there based on the design of this cooler so you can see there's air is going to come out this way and it's going to kind of hit that it's not really going to go out there so I would consider this to be a largely internal exhaust cooling design although you will get a little bit of incidental air flow coming out the case you're going to be spitting most of the hot air back into your case it's not a big deal it is a nice efficient cooler and as long as you have good case fans and a well ventilated uh computer you're not going to be running into too many problems PCI e6x standard slot I don't know if I mention that yet but I think that pretty much covers it so the GTX 460 SE like I mentioned is a 1 gig card but it is slightly cut down from the actual regular 1 gig card putting it in the performance range of a 768 megga card so why would you want this well I guess the answer is if you're running at high resolution okay and you don't want to buy the the fully-fledged one gig card or if you're running kind of like older games that don't require quite as fast GPU but you want to run like uh third party texture pack stuff like that you need the extra video memory this is the card for you so don't forget to subscribe to lineus techtips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos"}
