00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:07.160
so this is my usual thing where I compare the lengths and physical

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:18.160
characteristics of a bunch of graphics cards so our feature dour today is the

00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:21.039
GTX 590 from NVIDIA this is a dual gf10

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:26.320
card it is so it's SLI on a card we've seen dual GPU cards quite a few times in

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:32.559
the past now now these are fully featured GF 1110s these are exactly the

00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:35.000
same gpus that you find on a GTX 580 so

00:00:32.559 --> 00:00:39.600
one of these so you might ask well how did NVIDIA manage to put two of those on

00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:43.719
one card and the answer is that they are actually downclocked well first of all

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:48.399
they're bined very carefully for the best possible graphics cards or the

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:55.000
chips to put on it and then second they are actually downclocked so they do have

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.239
less performance than a single GTX 580

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:03.600
but they more than make up for it by having two of them okay so this card has

00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:10.640
an 80 mm fan in the middle it has heat sinks on either side for each of the

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:13.200
gpus it has three DVI outputs with one

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:17.400
mini DisplayPort so those three DVI outputs this is another unique thing

00:01:14.759 --> 00:01:22.479
about this card allow it to support 3D Vision surround or just plain surround

00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:28.400
off a single card that is three displays over DVI so that's pretty cool it does

00:01:24.759 --> 00:01:32.280
support quad SLI because it has one SLI

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:35.640
finger and it needs two PCI E8 pin power

00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:37.320
connectors so let's just contrast it

00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:41.880
against these other cards in terms of length it is an 11in card so I'll just

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:48.520
show you guys that there you go it's an 11in card so

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:52.079
you compare that to the radon HD 6990

00:01:48.520 --> 00:01:57.000
which is a 1T that is a 12 in card and

00:01:52.079 --> 00:02:00.079
to the GTX 580 which is only a 10 1/2 in

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:02.560
card now the 69

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:07.960
oops I'm going to wreck my tablecloth here the 6970 is almost 11 in and then

00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:14.360
if we go all the way down into kind of the mainstream cards then we end up with

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:16.519
a GTX 560 TI and that is a 9in card so

00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:24.360
just for contrast you can look at what it would take to fit a GTX 590 in your

00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:26.920
case versus a GTX 560 TI sort of

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:31.440
mainstream single GPU card now there are other considerations to bear in mind as

00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:35.640
well this fan needs to have a fair amount of clearance around it because

00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:40.200
with two fmes in there there's a fair bit of heat being generated so you need

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:42.319
to make sure it has adequate ventilation

00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:45.280
and yeah that's pretty much where I was going with that you got to make sure it

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:50.040
has adequate ventilation you also need to make sure your case has overall

00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:54.080
adequate air flow in it because half of the heat is going to be exhausted

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:57.640
directly into your case out this side and then a fairly substantial amount of

00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:01.280
it is going to come out into your case this way and then the rest will be

00:02:59.959 --> 00:03:04.879
exhausted so this is going to kick a fair amount of heat into your case and

00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:09.760
you got to make sure you have lots of fans to keep things cool thank you for
