00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:16,920
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the MSI GeForce GTX 670 OC so this is an

2
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:20,560
overclocked version of this already very

3
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:22,279
fast very well overclockable hence the

4
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:28,400
uh the factory overclocked editions of the card that are available at launch

5
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,119
GPU so this is using the GK 104 GPU from

6
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:35,760
NVIDIA which is the same one that is used in their Flagship single GPU card

7
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:40,039
the GTX 680 but the only difference is they've cut back some of the Cuda course

8
00:00:37,879 --> 00:00:43,960
and they have that's about it they dialed back

9
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:50,199
the frequency a little bit but you look at guys like MSI going and releasing

10
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:53,600
1.04 5 GHz graphics cards and the

11
00:00:50,199 --> 00:00:56,000
frequency isn't dialed back at all

12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:01:00,840
so what what what am I going to say right because that's the only difference

13
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:05,680
the uh the memory is still clocked at 6 GHz and it is still using a 256-bit bus

14
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:12,320
which is the first time we've seen that in quite a while I mean GTX 570 had the

15
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:15,960
memory bus cut back from the 580 the 470

16
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:18,119
had the memory bus cut back from the 480

17
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:23,159
and then even going back to the 260 was cut back from the uh from the 280 so

18
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:29,200
yeah this is yeah this is like a totally totally new thing for us to see that

19
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:31,079
NVIDIA didn't do that moving right along

20
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,840
GPU boost is supported which means that it will dynamically adjust the clock

21
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:41,600
speed of your graphics card according to the power and heat attributes that it is

22
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:45,159
aiming for so whatever targets it'll just ramp things up according to how

23
00:01:43,479 --> 00:01:51,200
much headro it has left this guy comes with a DVI VGA adapter two dual Molex to

24
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:56,600
single PCI E6 pin adapters a driver disc which you shouldn't use just download

25
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,600
the latest as well as

26
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:03,320
a whatever this is Quick Start guide and

27
00:02:00,759 --> 00:02:06,520
then another quick start guide awesome this is a really old character I don't

28
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:13,640
think they've used that one since like G4 6,000 Series so this this guide must

29
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:18,000
be uh sort of recycled here but you know there's no point if it ain't broke don't

30
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:23,640
fix it right new graphics card doesn't necessarily mean the rules for plugging

31
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:27,160
in a PCI Express card change am I right

32
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:29,959
okay so let's get this baby opened up I

33
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:35,239
can already see some trademark MSI stuff going on over here there are little blue

34
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:38,720
covers for the uh connectors as well as

35
00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:39,920
the uh display ports and the ports that

36
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:45,480
you connect to displays that are not called DisplayPort uh as well as their

37
00:02:42,519 --> 00:02:51,920
also somewhat trademark almost black PCB which you'll see on like other MSI

38
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:54,159
products such as the GTX 560 TI Hawk see

39
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:59,200
not quite black but still looks really slick in your case just going to put

40
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,840
that aside for now um what am I missing

41
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,840
here right

42
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:11,480
two gigs right it has two gigs of memory which means that even if you're running a surround configuration you should

43
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:13,519
still be okay I mean yeah the Radeon

44
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,879
ht750 if you're especially if you're running three high resolution displays

45
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,360
might perform a little bit better in your given game but you're going to be

46
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:25,799
missing the 3D Vision surround support as well as fizx and all the other

47
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:29,799
exclusive NVIDIA Technologies including their txaa modes which give you better

48
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:33,599
image quality but with a lesser performance hit compared to traditional

49
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:37,200
multi sampling anti Elia sync as well as adaptive vsync which gives you

50
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:41,080
especially in those multi-display configurations this can be a big problem

51
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:45,519
because vsync if you go above the display above the refresh rate of your

52
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:48,560
monitor will cause tearing which means that instead of being aligned things

53
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:57,680
will look kind of like this in the middle of your screen and if you go below it has to use a multiple of or a

54
00:03:53,439 --> 00:04:00,120
um a factor of your refresh rate so that

55
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:06,159
means if you are capable of running at 55 FPS it'll chalk you all the way down

56
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:08,239
to 30 because you're running vsync so

57
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:11,159
it'll turn it adaptive vsync turns it on when you're up there and off when you're

58
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:16,959
down here so you can get the most out of your graphics card three plus one

59
00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:19,199
displays are supported so we've got HDMI

60
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:22,880
DisplayPort and then two DVI ports so you can run three of those in 3D Vision

61
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:28,479
surround and then one auxiliary display for you know system monitoring utilities

62
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:34,080
or whatever else that you need to show on that for display so that is right up

63
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:40,520
to four displays 4k monitor support as well as HDMI 1.4a gives you 3D over

64
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,800
HDMI as well as a very efficient PCB

65
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,840
design so you can see NVIDIA's reference design which is what this card is using

66
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:50,919
even though it is Factory overclock so it is slightly non-reference is a very

67
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:54,520
very short PCB and NVIDIA has relocated the power delivery to the other side of

68
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:59,759
the GPU which is something that we haven't really seen before except on you

69
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:03,440
know dual GPU cards where they don't really have a choice and they have to

70
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:07,400
kind of Reagle things uh pretty differently compared to a single GPU

71
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:12,639
card multiple SLI connectors means we are compatible with multi-way SLI

72
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:17,520
configurations and we are also using PCI Express 3.0 the card is also as you can

73
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:21,800
clearly see fully capable of supporting up to 4 gigs of memory without any

74
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:27,240
difficulty so that would be a great configuration two 4 gig cards with a

75
00:05:25,479 --> 00:05:31,720
three monitor setup means you're going to have enough memory to store all the

76
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:36,400
textures that you need as well as the Uber horsepower that you need from the

77
00:05:33,479 --> 00:05:40,639
gpus themselves in order to drive that kind of a resolution so for anyone

78
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:44,919
considering an SLI configuration for the GTX 670 I would definitely recommend

79
00:05:43,479 --> 00:05:48,960
going with the 4 Gig cards if you're going to have multiple monitors or even

80
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:52,919
one high resolution monitor such as that one that's a 30-in monitor running at

81
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:56,720
2560 x600 I think that pretty much covers it

82
00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:02,360
this card uses a blower design it's a reference card so almost all of the heat

83
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,680
that is is accumulated here and cooled

84
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,759
here is going to be exhausted out the back of the case much like the 680

85
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:11,639
NVIDIA has redesigned things somewhat in order to give you more dead space

86
00:06:09,599 --> 00:06:15,720
between the io Shield as and the heat sink itself so that just gives you

87
00:06:13,479 --> 00:06:19,680
slightly better air flow out the back of the card and just as like a quick length

88
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:27,160
comparison it's just a little shorter than a GTX 680 although if you had a

89
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:32,639
smaller heat sink on it your your water cool it or something I bet you could fit this in a very

90
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:37,160
very small case without any difficulty whatsoever which is really

91
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:42,000
cool I think that pretty much wraps it up so what is it it's a cheaper slightly

92
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:46,280
less powerful although overclockable to the point where you could get similar

93
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,960
performance to a 680 card it's starting to look like pretty darn good value

94
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:53,400
