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

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:20.560
overclocked version of this already very

00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:22.279
fast very well overclockable hence the

00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:28.400
uh the factory overclocked editions of the card that are available at launch

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:30.119
GPU so this is using the GK 104 GPU from

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:35.760
NVIDIA which is the same one that is used in their Flagship single GPU card

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

00:00:37.879 --> 00:00:43.960
and they have that's about it they dialed back

00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:50.199
the frequency a little bit but you look at guys like MSI going and releasing

00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:53.600
1.04 5 GHz graphics cards and the

00:00:50.199 --> 00:00:56.000
frequency isn't dialed back at all

00:00:53.600 --> 00:01:00.840
so what what what am I going to say right because that's the only difference

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

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

00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:15.960
memory bus cut back from the 580 the 470

00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:18.119
had the memory bus cut back from the 480

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

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

00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:31.079
NVIDIA didn't do that moving right along

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:34.840
GPU boost is supported which means that it will dynamically adjust the clock

00:01:32.520 --> 00:01:41.600
speed of your graphics card according to the power and heat attributes that it is

00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:45.159
aiming for so whatever targets it'll just ramp things up according to how

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

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:56.600
single PCI E6 pin adapters a driver disc which you shouldn't use just download

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.600
the latest as well as

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:03.320
a whatever this is Quick Start guide and

00:02:00.759 --> 00:02:06.520
then another quick start guide awesome this is a really old character I don't

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

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

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:23.640
fix it right new graphics card doesn't necessarily mean the rules for plugging

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:27.160
in a PCI Express card change am I right

00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:29.959
okay so let's get this baby opened up I

00:02:27.160 --> 00:02:35.239
can already see some trademark MSI stuff going on over here there are little blue

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:38.720
covers for the uh connectors as well as

00:02:35.239 --> 00:02:39.920
the uh display ports and the ports that

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:45.480
you connect to displays that are not called DisplayPort uh as well as their

00:02:42.519 --> 00:02:51.920
also somewhat trademark almost black PCB which you'll see on like other MSI

00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:54.159
products such as the GTX 560 TI Hawk see

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:59.200
not quite black but still looks really slick in your case just going to put

00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:01.840
that aside for now um what am I missing

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:01.840
here right

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

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:13.519
still be okay I mean yeah the Radeon

00:03:11.480 --> 00:03:16.879
ht750 if you're especially if you're running three high resolution displays

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.360
might perform a little bit better in your given game but you're going to be

00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:25.799
missing the 3D Vision surround support as well as fizx and all the other

00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:29.799
exclusive NVIDIA Technologies including their txaa modes which give you better

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:33.599
image quality but with a lesser performance hit compared to traditional

00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:37.200
multi sampling anti Elia sync as well as adaptive vsync which gives you

00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:41.080
especially in those multi-display configurations this can be a big problem

00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.519
because vsync if you go above the display above the refresh rate of your

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:48.560
monitor will cause tearing which means that instead of being aligned things

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

00:03:53.439 --> 00:04:00.120
um a factor of your refresh rate so that

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

00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:08.239
to 30 because you're running vsync so

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

00:04:09.720 --> 00:04:16.959
down here so you can get the most out of your graphics card three plus one

00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:19.199
displays are supported so we've got HDMI

00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:22.880
DisplayPort and then two DVI ports so you can run three of those in 3D Vision

00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:28.479
surround and then one auxiliary display for you know system monitoring utilities

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

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:40.520
to four displays 4k monitor support as well as HDMI 1.4a gives you 3D over

00:04:37.400 --> 00:04:42.800
HDMI as well as a very efficient PCB

00:04:40.520 --> 00:04:45.840
design so you can see NVIDIA's reference design which is what this card is using

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:50.919
even though it is Factory overclock so it is slightly non-reference is a very

00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:54.520
very short PCB and NVIDIA has relocated the power delivery to the other side of

00:04:53.080 --> 00:04:59.759
the GPU which is something that we haven't really seen before except on you

00:04:57.280 --> 00:05:03.440
know dual GPU cards where they don't really have a choice and they have to

00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:07.400
kind of Reagle things uh pretty differently compared to a single GPU

00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:12.639
card multiple SLI connectors means we are compatible with multi-way SLI

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

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:21.800
clearly see fully capable of supporting up to 4 gigs of memory without any

00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:27.240
difficulty so that would be a great configuration two 4 gig cards with a

00:05:25.479 --> 00:05:31.720
three monitor setup means you're going to have enough memory to store all the

00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:36.400
textures that you need as well as the Uber horsepower that you need from the

00:05:33.479 --> 00:05:40.639
gpus themselves in order to drive that kind of a resolution so for anyone

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:44.919
considering an SLI configuration for the GTX 670 I would definitely recommend

00:05:43.479 --> 00:05:48.960
going with the 4 Gig cards if you're going to have multiple monitors or even

00:05:46.520 --> 00:05:52.919
one high resolution monitor such as that one that's a 30-in monitor running at

00:05:50.840 --> 00:05:56.720
2560 x600 I think that pretty much covers it

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

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:03.680
that is is accumulated here and cooled

00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:07.759
here is going to be exhausted out the back of the case much like the 680

00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:11.639
NVIDIA has redesigned things somewhat in order to give you more dead space

00:06:09.599 --> 00:06:15.720
between the io Shield as and the heat sink itself so that just gives you

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

00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:27.160
comparison it's just a little shorter than a GTX 680 although if you had a

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

00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:37.160
very small case without any difficulty whatsoever which is really

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

00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:46.280
less powerful although overclockable to the point where you could get similar

00:06:43.440 --> 00:06:48.960
performance to a 680 card it's starting to look like pretty darn good value

00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:53.400
