1
00:00:07,439 --> 00:00:17,240
now you might think that it's a little late to be unboxing a GTX 570 but this

2
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:19,680
one has a bit of a Twist that um you

3
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:27,439
guys might find interesting who knows so this is the Galaxy MDT GTX 570 it's got

4
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:30,320
1280 Megs of RAM just like most GTX 570s

5
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:36,719
it's got a test form inside which is not actually for you guys but rather for my

6
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:39,239
use uh it has some foam it has winds

7
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:43,760
spit settings so this is interesting but we'll get into more about that a little

8
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:46,360
bit later it also has the MDT series

9
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:49,320
exclusive software settings guide which is also interesting but we'll get into

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,800
that a little bit more later graphics card driver and then winds spit Revolution software installation disc

11
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,520
this you might actually need although you should download the latest if

12
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,079
available from Galaxy website okay so let's go ahead

13
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:07,159
and see what we got for adapters we got a DVI to VGA we've got a mini HDMI to

14
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:10,960
HDMI these are goldplated this uh well the HDMI one is this one's not the HDMI

15
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:16,840
one is a goldplated adapter though that's kind of nice little extras go a

16
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:21,880
long way so we've got dual Molex to PCI E8 pin and then we've got dual MOX to

17
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:27,600
PCI E6 pin just in case you don't have the appropriate PCI Express slots on

18
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:31,200
your or slots connectors on your power supply although if you're still using a

19
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:35,520
power Supply that's only got Molex connectors to plug into your graphics

20
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:40,439
card it's probably time to think about upgrading

21
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,280
anywho so let's go

22
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:49,840
ahead and get this opened up and I will get into what is very interesting about

23
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:55,240
this particular video card so the 570 is still by All rights a high performance

24
00:01:52,799 --> 00:02:01,360
graphics card but it's always had a bit of a disadvantage in the market compared

25
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:04,600
to its competition from AMD and that is

26
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:09,319
that the GTX 570 has never supported

27
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:11,720
more than two displays out at a time for

28
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:16,360
surround gaming unless you buy two of them so how did Galaxy see fit to

29
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:22,319
address this we'll check this out they put four DVI connectors One Mini HDMI as

30
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:30,800
well although that's less relevant and I'll talk about that in a little bit four DVI connectors on this card making

31
00:02:26,519 --> 00:02:32,560
it capable of driving up to

32
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,920
three displays in surround plus an additional monitor which is very very

33
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,640
cool I mean I I I suppose you could run four displays at a time but that

34
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,200
wouldn't be very beneficial cuz you'd have a bezel like right in the middle so

35
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:47,800
this is a gaming card it's intended for gaming so I'm going to go ahead and say

36
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:54,239
that I think the intended use is probably for three displays at 1080p in

37
00:02:51,959 --> 00:02:58,920
a surround gaming mode so how have they achieved this well one they have a

38
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:03,840
custom designed card so you can see this is a complete complely non- reference

39
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:07,400
card with four DVI connectors on it as

40
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,680
well as an aftermarket cooler so here

41
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:13,440
there you go you guys can have a look at the cooler so it's got an 80 mm fan and

42
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:19,159
a very beefy and very heavy heat sink going on here so check this out we've

43
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:21,360
got one two heat pipes three heat pipes

44
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:25,280
it's hard to kind of see those in there uh how many heat pipes do we have total

45
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:29,080
can you see in there four heat pipes total I think it's four heat pipes total

46
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:33,519
yeah yeah so four heat pipes total including uh so two coming out to the

47
00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:39,360
left here or to the right and then two coming out to the left very dense

48
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:41,200
aluminum thin array on both sides as

49
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:45,080
well as a downward draft fan that is actually very cleverly positioned

50
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,599
because it's almost directly over the pwm so while we can use these heat pipes

51
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:54,159
that are positioned directly above the GPU to distribute that heat to the rest

52
00:03:51,720 --> 00:04:00,480
of the fins we use the Fan's direct Cooling in order to keep the voltage

53
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,879
Regulators cool enough so that's pretty

54
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,920
much it for that part of the card so let's get back to the display so you

55
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:12,680
have a couple different options you can run them normally so you can see there's

56
00:04:07,959 --> 00:04:15,079
dvii DVID D1 dvi2 and DVID D3 you can

57
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:23,120
either run two dvis three

58
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:26,000
dvis two dvis and an HDMI or you can run

59
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:31,199
four dvis or three dvis and an HDMI and I'll be back in a sec so

60
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:35,440
there's a fair bit of Hocus Pocus that is going on with this particular

61
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:39,479
graphics card so in order to achieve the whole triple monitor gaming thing

62
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:44,360
because really that's how many monitors you can span a single virtual display

63
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:48,759
much like the way ifinity works we've got these numbered ones so we've got

64
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:54,440
DVID 1 2 and 3 and these guys are only good up to 1920 x 1080 if you're running

65
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:58,039
three at a time so bear that in mind 1080p monitors are the most you're going

66
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:02,240
to be able to do triple displays on however it should be noted that with a

67
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:07,000
GTX 570 level graphics card unless you're running more than one card you're

68
00:05:04,919 --> 00:05:11,400
probably only going to want 3 1080p monitors anyway you're not going to run

69
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:17,120
33 in off something like this okay so you either run two displays plus one

70
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:21,400
which runs off either of these or you run three displays plus one that runs

71
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:25,160
off either of these so this is great for I used to play a fair bit of Supreme

72
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:30,240
Commander so if I wanted to run triple Monitor and then have my mini map

73
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:33,680
displayed on an additional one that is how I would do it because Supreme

74
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:37,360
Commander was multi-display capable whereas if you have a game like race

75
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:40,319
driver grid you would only be able to run it off one Monitor and then you

76
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:45,479
might be able to have like task manager or whatever displayed it depends on whether the game is multi-display

77
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:50,199
compatible or not so these guys create one virtual display these guys are a

78
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:53,919
secondary monitor so I hope that that's clear now Galaxy does provide a couple

79
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:59,319
pieces of software the both the wind split as well as the easy easy y easyy

80
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,000
display software settings so you can use that in in order to configure everything

81
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:06,680
properly because it's not built into the GeForce driver this is a Galaxy

82
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:11,360
exclusive technology which is one of the reasons I don't know if you guys have noticed but this is the first time I've

83
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:15,479
ever looked at a Galaxy card but this is one of the reasons why I think this one

84
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:19,599
is so neat because unlike any other gForce card other than the GTX 590 which

85
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:25,800
is kind of cheating because it has two gpus on it to achieve its surround

86
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,800
gaming Glory this one supports surround

87
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,280
so it is a direct competitor and it is completely feature competitive against

88
00:06:29,599 --> 00:06:37,240
any AMD card because not only does it have 3D Vision and all that good stuff

89
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,440
it also has ifinity which I don't know

90
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:44,720
what to call it I mean we'll call it NVIDIA surround I guess cuz that's what it's called when you have two cards but

91
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:47,720
it's got it on a single card so since I've never talked about Galaxy before I

92
00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:51,800
should probably mention a couple other things so they've got 247 365 tech

93
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,319
support for us and Canada only I don't know about other territories guys

94
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,560
extreme tuner HD so they've got some overclocking software they also have a

95
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,639
oneclick easy y buttons Ultra simple multi display window management so

96
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,280
that's that software that they included and then they've also got a couple of

97
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:10,639
other cool things so they've got a dual BIOS we're used to seeing these on motherboards now but it's not that often

98
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,960
we see it on graphics cards AMD has started doing it on some of their cards

99
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:17,919
on the very high end but here we go there's galaxy adding it to uh NVIDIA

100
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,759
cards when no one else has it power meter allows you to monitor the entire

101
00:07:19,599 --> 00:07:25,800
card's status and power consumption and voltage settings so for full control for

102
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,680
extreme overclockers I don't know how many extreme overclockers are going to

103
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:35,120
need a card like this because they aren't typically running four displays at a time but there you go I guess the

104
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:40,440
options are there so thank you for checking out this unboxing and first

105
00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:44,720
look at the en NVIDIA well it is NVIDIA

106
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:46,440
NVIDIA Galaxy GeForce GTX 570 MDT with

107
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,639
