WEBVTT

00:00:07.439 --> 00:00:16.119
now we're finally seeing an influx of custom GTX 680s well okay I shouldn't

00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:22.439
say influx because there's just plain not nearly enough of them but uh we are

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:28.359
finally seeing some custom GTX 680s so custom means Custom pcbs Custom coolers

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

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:38.399
stands for presumably super overclocked

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:43.960
okay comes with a three-year warranty 2 gigs of memory custom cooling a force a

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:46.199
bracket and it has a pretty cool custom

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

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

00:00:54.239 --> 00:01:00.120
ability to dynamically adjust its clock according to the available power

00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:04.720
thresholds okay enjoy smoother game PL with adaptive vertical sync which either

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

00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.479
refresh rate of your monitor and smoother gameplay when you're above the

00:01:11.080 --> 00:01:16.759
refresh rate of your monitor in terms of your FPS richer visual so you can

00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:21.720
surround yourself with multim monitor gaming on a single card so NVIDIA has

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:25.560
added that to their repertoire against the red team which had a bit well they

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

00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:36.640
that uh could do six displays off a single card which was totally not that

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:39.680
useful for gaming because it didn't have nearly the power to drive it take

00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:43.320
control with extreme tuner plus so that is their overclocking software very very

00:01:42.119 --> 00:01:47.560
cool all right do more with multi-display that was here okay uh

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

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:55.200
680 I think it'll be a while before Windows demands a 680 ultimate home

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:59.960
theater with 108p Blu-ray and hdcp support if you game you need a Galaxy

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

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

00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:11.560
get pretty excited about this so This GTX 680 is the cream of the cream for

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

00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:21.760
card um it is their highest performing single GPU card probably their highest

00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:26.440
well okay their highest performing single GPU card and it is really really

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:31.599
really really really fast all the latest features all that good stuff HDMI to DVI

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:39.040
adapter uh mini

00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:43.599
what mini HDMI to HDMI adapter

00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:45.920
okay um two dual moax 28 pin power

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:49.159
connectors okay I haven't actually like looked at this card that closely other

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

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

00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:03.680
visit the website to download the latest thank you Galaxy uh you have done it

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.239
correctly sir and madams because that is

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

00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:16.599
look at that custom white PCB which

00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:23.799
would go really well with a black and white themed system or in just any

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:26.040
system um I tweeted a picture of this on

00:03:23.799 --> 00:03:31.680
my on my Twitter account of the Russian showing off one of these Galaxy Super

00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:34.360
overclocked Cards in a Vesta G2 system

00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:40.560
it looked absolutely balling out with the green lighting effects on the back

00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.560
of the card that looks so

00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:49.040
good just admiring it I wonder what this

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

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

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

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

00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:09.959
680 PCB it also has dual six P or 8 Pin

00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:14.000
power connectors so it is designed presumably with beefier vrm and you can

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

00:04:16.919 --> 00:04:25.040
also has a much more substantial cooler so this is triple 92mm cooling fans on

00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:30.039
an impressive I mean this thing is really heavy this is a heavy card on an

00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:35.080
impressive copper with five Heat pipes and then aluminum fin array that goes

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

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

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

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

00:04:52.039 --> 00:04:57.759
blowing down not only on the GPU and the memory itself but also on the other

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

00:05:01.080 --> 00:05:07.120
them go pretty close and then the farthest out one carries heat over here

00:05:05.479 --> 00:05:10.440
then next farthest out one carries heat here and the furthest out one on this

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

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:18.240
heat pipes and the fans each fan is blowing down directly onto fins that are

00:05:16.840 --> 00:05:21.080
right near a heat pipe so we should have heat being directly delivered it's too

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

00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:30.160
of outputs oh this is interesting Okay so we've got DisplayPort and three mini

00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:37.919
HDM ni that is a very strange output

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:37.919
configuration I wonder why they did

00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:44.960
that um huh okay well I guess I'd probably

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

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:57.120
best thing in the world for outputting at 120 HZ at 1080p for 3D

00:05:54.560 --> 00:06:01.880
so hold on just a minute guys well Galaxy does whatever they

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

00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:09.039
generation were a great example of that where they were like oh NVIDIA says we

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

00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:20.400
they've gone with DisplayPort and three mini HDMI connections um you've also got

00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:22.440
an open sort of second PCI bracket so

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:48.360
three screws pop the fan off you can easily clean out your graphics card get

00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:52.639
all the dust out of it completely having removed the fans from it and I think

00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:57.680
that's a very cool feature and the second thing of note other than the fact

00:06:54.280 --> 00:06:59.680
that it has PCI Express 3.0 and two SLI

00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:04.440
fingers for up to three or four we configurations is the fact that this has

00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:08.160
the whitest PCB that I have yet seen I have seen products with white pcbs in

00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:13.720
the past such as sapphires pure motherboard back on the 690g chipset for

00:07:10.440 --> 00:07:16.280
AMD this is much whiter this is like

00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:21.319
white white as opposed to like yellow white so an example of a build that this

00:07:18.440 --> 00:07:27.080
would look absolutely fantastic in is one like this where the inner guts are

00:07:24.599 --> 00:07:31.840
predominantly black and white so I would love to replace the Radeon graphics card

00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:37.759
in here with a uh suitably White GeForce graphics card

00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:43.199
so check this out see white and black theme you go ahead

00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:47.879
you throw one of these in there how Beast would that look would barely even

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

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

00:07:54.360 --> 00:08:03.479
this must be close to 12 in all right so from the back of the

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

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

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:16.120
