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

00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:19.680
one has a bit of a Twist that um you

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

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:30.320
1280 Megs of RAM just like most GTX 570s

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

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:39.239
use uh it has some foam it has winds

00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:43.760
spit settings so this is interesting but we'll get into more about that a little

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.360
bit later it also has the MDT series

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:49.320
exclusive software settings guide which is also interesting but we'll get into

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

00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:56.520
this you might actually need although you should download the latest if

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:01.079
available from Galaxy website okay so let's go ahead

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

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

00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:16.840
one is a goldplated adapter though that's kind of nice little extras go a

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

00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:27.600
PCI E6 pin just in case you don't have the appropriate PCI Express slots on

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:31.200
your or slots connectors on your power supply although if you're still using a

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:35.520
power Supply that's only got Molex connectors to plug into your graphics

00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:40.439
card it's probably time to think about upgrading

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:43.280
anywho so let's go

00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:49.840
ahead and get this opened up and I will get into what is very interesting about

00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:55.240
this particular video card so the 570 is still by All rights a high performance

00:01:52.799 --> 00:02:01.360
graphics card but it's always had a bit of a disadvantage in the market compared

00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:04.600
to its competition from AMD and that is

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:09.319
that the GTX 570 has never supported

00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:11.720
more than two displays out at a time for

00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:16.360
surround gaming unless you buy two of them so how did Galaxy see fit to

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:22.319
address this we'll check this out they put four DVI connectors One Mini HDMI as

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

00:02:26.519 --> 00:02:32.560
it capable of driving up to

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.920
three displays in surround plus an additional monitor which is very very

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

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

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

00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:54.239
that I think the intended use is probably for three displays at 1080p in

00:02:51.959 --> 00:02:58.920
a surround gaming mode so how have they achieved this well one they have a

00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:03.840
custom designed card so you can see this is a complete complely non- reference

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:07.400
card with four DVI connectors on it as

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:08.680
well as an aftermarket cooler so here

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

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

00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:21.360
got one two heat pipes three heat pipes

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

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

00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:33.519
yeah yeah so four heat pipes total including uh so two coming out to the

00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:39.360
left here or to the right and then two coming out to the left very dense

00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:41.200
aluminum thin array on both sides as

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:45.080
well as a downward draft fan that is actually very cleverly positioned

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:49.599
because it's almost directly over the pwm so while we can use these heat pipes

00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:54.159
that are positioned directly above the GPU to distribute that heat to the rest

00:03:51.720 --> 00:04:00.480
of the fins we use the Fan's direct Cooling in order to keep the voltage

00:03:56.920 --> 00:04:01.879
Regulators cool enough so that's pretty

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

00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:12.680
have a couple different options you can run them normally so you can see there's

00:04:07.959 --> 00:04:15.079
dvii DVID D1 dvi2 and DVID D3 you can

00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:23.120
either run two dvis three

00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:26.000
dvis two dvis and an HDMI or you can run

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

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:35.440
there's a fair bit of Hocus Pocus that is going on with this particular

00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:39.479
graphics card so in order to achieve the whole triple monitor gaming thing

00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:44.360
because really that's how many monitors you can span a single virtual display

00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:48.759
much like the way ifinity works we've got these numbered ones so we've got

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

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

00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:02.240
to be able to do triple displays on however it should be noted that with a

00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:07.000
GTX 570 level graphics card unless you're running more than one card you're

00:05:04.919 --> 00:05:11.400
probably only going to want 3 1080p monitors anyway you're not going to run

00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:17.120
33 in off something like this okay so you either run two displays plus one

00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:21.400
which runs off either of these or you run three displays plus one that runs

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

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:30.240
Commander so if I wanted to run triple Monitor and then have my mini map

00:05:27.400 --> 00:05:33.680
displayed on an additional one that is how I would do it because Supreme

00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:37.360
Commander was multi-display capable whereas if you have a game like race

00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:40.319
driver grid you would only be able to run it off one Monitor and then you

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

00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:50.199
compatible or not so these guys create one virtual display these guys are a

00:05:48.280 --> 00:05:53.919
secondary monitor so I hope that that's clear now Galaxy does provide a couple

00:05:52.400 --> 00:05:59.319
pieces of software the both the wind split as well as the easy easy y easyy

00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:03.000
display software settings so you can use that in in order to configure everything

00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:06.680
properly because it's not built into the GeForce driver this is a Galaxy

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

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

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:19.599
is so neat because unlike any other gForce card other than the GTX 590 which

00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:25.800
is kind of cheating because it has two gpus on it to achieve its surround

00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:27.800
gaming Glory this one supports surround

00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:31.280
so it is a direct competitor and it is completely feature competitive against

00:06:29.599 --> 00:06:37.240
any AMD card because not only does it have 3D Vision and all that good stuff

00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:38.440
it also has ifinity which I don't know

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

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

00:06:46.479 --> 00:06:51.800
should probably mention a couple other things so they've got 247 365 tech

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:55.319
support for us and Canada only I don't know about other territories guys

00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:59.560
extreme tuner HD so they've got some overclocking software they also have a

00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:02.639
oneclick easy y buttons Ultra simple multi display window management so

00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:05.280
that's that software that they included and then they've also got a couple of

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

00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:13.960
we see it on graphics cards AMD has started doing it on some of their cards

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

00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:21.759
cards when no one else has it power meter allows you to monitor the entire

00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:25.800
card's status and power consumption and voltage settings so for full control for

00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.680
extreme overclockers I don't know how many extreme overclockers are going to

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

00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:40.440
options are there so thank you for checking out this unboxing and first

00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:44.720
look at the en NVIDIA well it is NVIDIA

00:07:40.440 --> 00:07:46.440
NVIDIA Galaxy GeForce GTX 570 MDT with

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:49.639
