WEBVTT 00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:15.240 welcome to my unboxing and first look at the GeForce GTX 650 this is the power 00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:20.119 Edition from MSI which is actually going to be quite a factor for this particular 00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:23.640 GPU I believe although I haven't tested it yet this is my first time opening up 00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:27.760 the box so I'm pretty excited about that this is an OC Edition as most power 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:31.119 edition cards are it uses their trans thermal design which I'll show you guys 00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:36.399 once I open it up it's got 1 gig of gddr5 although the 650 will be available 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:42.239 with 2 gigs as well uses a 128bit bus and the GK 107 GPU so this is a slightly 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:47.879 lower end GPU than the GK 106 that's used in the GeForce GTX 00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:50.199 660 although the 660ti uses the 104 GPU 00:00:47.879 --> 00:00:54.520 so just sort of try and wrap your brain around all of that so this has most of 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:59.359 the Kepler features including direct X11 as well as 3D Vision support NVIDIA 00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:04.439 surround their new anti-aliasing technologies adaptive vsync which turns 00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:07.640 your vsync on if you are above your refresh rate of your monitor and off if 00:01:06.119 --> 00:01:11.159 you're below this provides an optimal balance of performance and avoiding 00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:17.560 screen tearing you've got full support for physx Cuda as well as their pure 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:21.400 video HD technology okay um and up to 3 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:21.400 plus one displays out so you can 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:28.200 use let's just open it up shall we let 00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:33.520 get this going did I say 3+1 display is out because what I meant to say is three 00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:35.799 displays so sorry my bad actually give me a 00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:45.040 sec yeah three displays out sorry guys so that's uh with support for NVIDIA 00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:49.159 surround technology that sort of stands for reason but not 3+ 1 so if you want 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:55.360 3+ one you're going to want to look at one of the higher end cards such as the 00:01:51.320 --> 00:01:56.799 660 or 660 Ti I mean it's kind of stands 00:01:55.360 --> 00:02:00.799 to reason because there's no way you're going to be playing a game in surround 00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:04.920 on sort of a low lower end card like this plus be running an auxiliary 00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:07.920 display it just doesn't necessarily make any sense so let's have a look at what 00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:13.720 we've got in terms of accessories you got a dual Molex to PCIe power adapter 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:19.040 you've got bunch of stuff in here DVI to VGA adapter ah one of those right angle 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:22.760 mini HDMI to HDMI adapters these are handy because they keep it from 00:02:20.519 --> 00:02:25.519 interfering with your case all right you've got some documentation that 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:33.519 doesn't really matter as well as a driver disc but you should download the latest off the NVIDIA website just go 00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:38.480 ahead and close this bad boy up put that 00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:41.080 in there okay now one conspicuous 00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:47.319 absentee from the NVIDIA feature set even though this is a GTX class card is 00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:50.239 SLI okay so if you guys want SLI compatibility you want the ability to 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:56.120 run a couple cards in tandem in the future you are going to want to go with 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:57.400 at least a GeForce GTX 660 okay at the 00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:03.040 time of filming although who knows there might be some other GPU coming out later that goes between that might support S I 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:08.440 don't know anything about that though so let's have a look at the card itself right power Edition what's important 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:12.000 about that with these kind of mainstream mainstream gaming graphics cards it's 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:15.879 all about getting the best bang for your buck so you are definitely going to want 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:19.280 to get the most out of whatever overclocking you're going to do on a 00:03:17.239 --> 00:03:23.959 card like this so what a power Edition card does is it gives you access to 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:25.760 MSI's additional overvolting options so 00:03:23.959 --> 00:03:30.360 those overvolting options are going to allow you to really squeeze every last 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:35.560 megahertz until it megahertz out of this card to get as 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:40.760 much performance as you can full support for PCI Express 3.0 so that's a 16x slot 00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:45.400 and don't worry about the missing pins it's fine we've seen this before on 00:03:43.239 --> 00:03:49.080 NVIDIA lower-end gaming cards and it doesn't actually it doesn't actually 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:53.439 matter unless you need the extra bandwidth or well not extra bandwidth 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:57.120 it's still running at PCI e6x unless you need the extra pins you don't end up 00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.159 needing the extra pins so the higher end cards have all of them the lower end 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:03.400 ones sometimes don't let's have a look at the cooler so this is sort of a 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:07.120 unique design check this out okay so you've got kind of these contact plates 00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:11.280 down here which are split up a little bit okay then you've got thermal 00:04:08.799 --> 00:04:16.479 interface material under them that is uh interacting with things like uh like the 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:22.160 memory things like vrm all that good stuff and then you've got a very 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:24.840 open I'm just going to slide this again I'll show you what that does later 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:28.000 you've got a very open design that allows a lot of air to pass right 00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:33.400 through the card which is going to do a great job of cooling vrm components 00:04:30.440 --> 00:04:37.440 as well as the any memory modules or whatever else the case may be speaking 00:04:35.320 --> 00:04:40.880 of memory modules with the 128bit bus and with the density of memory chips 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:46.880 these days there are only four memory chips they're on the other side of the card and I suspect because this is a 00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:51.600 custom PCB that they need to redesign the PCB in order to install actually 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:54.360 hold on those might be contact those might be contact pads for additional 00:04:52.840 --> 00:04:58.639 ones here actually so they probably wouldn't need to a two gig card could be 00:04:55.919 --> 00:05:05.400 done fairly easily with this PCB all right so let's show you guys MSI's 00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:07.520 exclusive trans thermal design so you 00:05:05.400 --> 00:05:12.360 want more silence you leave it in single fan mode this is using a propeller blade 00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:14.680 fan that looks like an like a 92mm fan 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:18.120 so that's pretty cool uh let's see did they have anything to say for them ah 00:05:15.960 --> 00:05:22.759 yes okay so we we'll use their diagram so there's single fan mode there's 00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:28.880 higher static pressure double airflow mode and then there's actually dual fan 00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:33.000 mode sweet so this provides more cooling for the pwm modules in memory this 00:05:31.080 --> 00:05:36.560 enhances the heat dissipation capacity with pressure which remember you need 00:05:34.479 --> 00:05:40.240 pressure to push air through fins and then you need better and this single fan 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:45.160 mode is just like quieter and better than reference still so the cooler 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:48.800 includes their propeller fins as well as their dust removal technology so their 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:53.080 dust removal technology spins the fan backwards to blow some dust out of the 00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:56.560 heat sink before then turning around and spinning the correct way now this will 00:05:55.080 --> 00:06:00.240 sound kind of loud when you first turn it on every time but bear in mind the 00:05:58.479 --> 00:06:04.639 card is operating correctly correctly and everything is okay so I'm going to 00:06:01.960 --> 00:06:07.360 show you guys how to transform from uh one mode to another one I'm guessing 00:06:05.960 --> 00:06:12.840 they couldn't call it a Transformer because then Apple would claim that they invented Transformers and uh you know 00:06:11.599 --> 00:06:17.240 tell them they can't sell their card in North America anymore or wait no 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:21.599 couldn't yeah must be apple that's that's the one that invented everything 00:06:18.440 --> 00:06:23.639 so here is the double stack fan 00:06:21.599 --> 00:06:26.800 configuration and uh you can see that they've actually got see these are this 00:06:25.280 --> 00:06:30.680 is kind of a smart fan design actually I wouldn't have minded it if they were counter rotating that would be even 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:33.880 better but you can see they've got these blades in here that will help it 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:37.840 generate more pressure without generating as much interference between 00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:42.360 the two fans then you plug this guy right in here and all of a sudden you 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:46.880 have a triple slot card but MSI is giving you the option to keep it dual 00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:51.360 slot if you don't want to install the additional the additional fan module 00:06:49.039 --> 00:06:57.560 however you have more options than that but wait there's more slide it like 00:06:54.520 --> 00:07:01.520 this pop it in like 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:01.520 this and 00:07:01.599 --> 00:07:11.400 oh whoops I did that wrong hold on hold on I got this i got 00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:13.759 this there we go there you go dual fan 00:07:11.400 --> 00:07:16.479 cooler so that increases the length of the card a little bit as well so you 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:20.680 still plug the power in there but you got a little bit more I mean there's going to be a lot of clearance in most 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:24.000 gaming cases for this kind of a card anyway but uh there you go that's 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:29.280 showing you both of the additional fan modes so in conclusion that is the 6 GTX 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:32.120 650 from MSI this is the power
