1
00:00:07,439 --> 00:00:16,119
now we're finally seeing an influx of custom GTX 680s well okay I shouldn't

2
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:22,439
say influx because there's just plain not nearly enough of them but uh we are

3
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:28,359
finally seeing some custom GTX 680s so custom means Custom pcbs Custom coolers

4
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:36,600
nonreference design cards so this is the Galaxy GeForce G GTX 680 s so so s so

5
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,399
stands for presumably super overclocked

6
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:43,960
okay comes with a three-year warranty 2 gigs of memory custom cooling a force a

7
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:46,199
bracket and it has a pretty cool custom

8
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:49,239
PCB but I'm not going to give that away until we get in a little bit further so

9
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:56,280
let's have a look what they have to say for themselves maximize your performance with GPU boost so that is the GTX 68

10
00:00:54,239 --> 00:01:00,120
ability to dynamically adjust its clock according to the available power

11
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:04,720
thresholds okay enjoy smoother game PL with adaptive vertical sync which either

12
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:09,600
turns on vsync or turns it off to give you an FPS boost when you're below the

13
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:12,479
refresh rate of your monitor and smoother gameplay when you're above the

14
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:16,759
refresh rate of your monitor in terms of your FPS richer visual so you can

15
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:21,720
surround yourself with multim monitor gaming on a single card so NVIDIA has

16
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:25,560
added that to their repertoire against the red team which had a bit well they

17
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:33,280
were the only ones doing it for the longest time I've even gotten like old 5870 iin 86 Edition in that system

18
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:36,640
that uh could do six displays off a single card which was totally not that

19
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:39,680
useful for gaming because it didn't have nearly the power to drive it take

20
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,320
control with extreme tuner plus so that is their overclocking software very very

21
00:01:42,119 --> 00:01:47,560
cool all right do more with multi-display that was here okay uh

22
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,719
Windows Demands a real GPU this much is true although I can't say it Demands a

23
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,200
680 I think it'll be a while before Windows demands a 680 ultimate home

24
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:59,960
theater with 108p Blu-ray and hdcp support if you game you need a Galaxy

25
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:03,680
graphics card okay Galaxy turn it all on on okay well let's go ahead and have a

26
00:02:02,119 --> 00:02:08,039
look at the card because I think when you guys see the card you are going to

27
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:11,560
get pretty excited about this so This GTX 680 is the cream of the cream for

28
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,400
NVIDIA attention customers thank you thank you thank you for buying it and don't forget to register your

29
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:21,760
card um it is their highest performing single GPU card probably their highest

30
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:26,440
well okay their highest performing single GPU card and it is really really

31
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:31,599
really really really fast all the latest features all that good stuff HDMI to DVI

32
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:39,040
adapter uh mini

33
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:43,599
what mini HDMI to HDMI adapter

34
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:45,920
okay um two dual moax 28 pin power

35
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:49,159
connectors okay I haven't actually like looked at this card that closely other

36
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,959
than like what I think is cool about it so okay be sure to visit blah blah blah

37
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:57,080
to get the latest extreme tuner this is great okay here's a disc But be sure to

38
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:03,680
visit the website to download the latest thank you Galaxy uh you have done it

39
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,239
correctly sir and madams because that is

40
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:14,120
exactly how we roll here on Tech tips here's a CD download the latest oh yeah

41
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:16,599
look at that custom white PCB which

42
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:23,799
would go really well with a black and white themed system or in just any

43
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:26,040
system um I tweeted a picture of this on

44
00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:31,680
my on my Twitter account of the Russian showing off one of these Galaxy Super

45
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,360
overclocked Cards in a Vesta G2 system

46
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:40,560
it looked absolutely balling out with the green lighting effects on the back

47
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,560
of the card that looks so

48
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:49,040
good just admiring it I wonder what this

49
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:52,720
means it says Hall of Fame on the back of the card I mean I can understand this

50
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,879
being Hall of Fame I mean just look at it but I don't know why they had to

51
00:03:54,879 --> 00:04:01,360
label it as such okay so on the back of the card we can see very clearly this is

52
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:07,680
a custom PC it is very very very custom it is much longer than the standard GTX

53
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:09,959
680 PCB it also has dual six P or 8 Pin

54
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:14,000
power connectors so it is designed presumably with beefier vrm and you can

55
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:19,519
even see that there's a lot more built onto the card um than the stock card it

56
00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:25,040
also has a much more substantial cooler so this is triple 92mm cooling fans on

57
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:30,039
an impressive I mean this thing is really heavy this is a heavy card on an

58
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:35,080
impressive copper with five Heat pipes and then aluminum fin array that goes

59
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:39,360
the entire length of the card and then some so you can see here where all the

60
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:44,880
heat pipes are running to this is a oh okay so this is a is this plastic or

61
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:48,960
aluminum it's a plastic shroud but uh here we go so the GPU is right about

62
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:54,120
there right in between these two fans these fans are covering almost the entire surface area of the card as well

63
00:04:52,039 --> 00:04:57,759
blowing down not only on the GPU and the memory itself but also on the other

64
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:03,280
components so the memory is covered in a heat spreader you can see where these Heat are heading off too so a couple of

65
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:07,120
them go pretty close and then the farthest out one carries heat over here

66
00:05:05,479 --> 00:05:10,440
then next farthest out one carries heat here and the furthest out one on this

67
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:14,360
side carries heat right to the end there so if we look at the positioning of the

68
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:18,240
heat pipes and the fans each fan is blowing down directly onto fins that are

69
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:21,080
right near a heat pipe so we should have heat being directly delivered it's too

70
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:26,639
bad they weren't able to put in one more heat pipe right here but I guess you can't really ask for too much in terms

71
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:30,160
of outputs oh this is interesting Okay so we've got DisplayPort and three mini

72
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:37,919
HDM ni that is a very strange output

73
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:37,919
configuration I wonder why they did

74
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:44,960
that um huh okay well I guess I'd probably

75
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:50,280
opt for a DisplayPort out of the three just because mini HDMI is not uh not the

76
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:57,120
best thing in the world for outputting at 120 HZ at 1080p for 3D

77
00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:01,880
so hold on just a minute guys well Galaxy does whatever they

78
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:05,240
please when it comes to outputs it turns out I mean their MDT cards from the last

79
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,039
generation were a great example of that where they were like oh NVIDIA says we

80
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:13,759
can only do two displays at a time well we can do three ha um so there you go

81
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:20,400
they've gone with DisplayPort and three mini HDMI connections um you've also got

82
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:22,440
an open sort of second PCI bracket so

83
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,599
what that means is this is very much an internal airflow card so you're going to

84
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:30,720
exhaust a little bit out the back of the case but you better make sure you have a case with good air flow which I hope if

85
00:06:28,599 --> 00:06:36,000
you're buying a GTX you already had sort of figured out now of note is the fact

86
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:39,440
that okay two things of note is the fact that you see how easy it is to access

87
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:44,120
the screws that hold these fans on can you see that that's really cool take out

88
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:48,360
three screws pop the fan off you can easily clean out your graphics card get

89
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:52,639
all the dust out of it completely having removed the fans from it and I think

90
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:57,680
that's a very cool feature and the second thing of note other than the fact

91
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:59,680
that it has PCI Express 3.0 and two SLI

92
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:04,440
fingers for up to three or four we configurations is the fact that this has

93
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:08,160
the whitest PCB that I have yet seen I have seen products with white pcbs in

94
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:13,720
the past such as sapphires pure motherboard back on the 690g chipset for

95
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:16,280
AMD this is much whiter this is like

96
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:21,319
white white as opposed to like yellow white so an example of a build that this

97
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:27,080
would look absolutely fantastic in is one like this where the inner guts are

98
00:07:24,599 --> 00:07:31,840
predominantly black and white so I would love to replace the Radeon graphics card

99
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:37,759
in here with a uh suitably White GeForce graphics card

100
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:43,199
so check this out see white and black theme you go ahead

101
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:47,879
you throw one of these in there how Beast would that look would barely even

102
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:52,599
fit too even though this is an arc mey this is a long graphics card uh you know

103
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:57,240
what I think I have a tape measure here yep let's measure how long it is because

104
00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:03,479
this must be close to 12 in all right so from the back of the

105
00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:08,120
there so 11 1/2 in so make sure you have a case that is capable of housing an 11

106
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,120
1/2 in graphics card before you go ahead and install one of these so thank you

107
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:16,120
