done a Galaxy GeForce GTX 670 unboxing but I'm about to do another one because this is a non reference GTX 670 so this one uses the reference design PCB which is the short PCB with the long cooler the uh the blower cooler that exhausts the air out the back and this guy is slightly different so although the spec X are pretty similar this one is slightly overclocked so it's at 1 GHz this one's overclocked right yeah it's overclocked factory overclocked to just over 1 GHz still using 6 GHz memory just like the GTX 670 and the GTX 680 before it includes all the usual features such as the new txaa modes which give you the same look as as older types of anti-aliasing with a lesser performance hit also includes um GPU boost which dynamically adjusts the clock speed of your GPU according to how much thermal headro as well as power headro is available to it adaptive vsync which gives you the best of both worlds in terms of whether your frame rate is above your refresh rate it'll turn on vsync and then if it falls below then it turns vsync off to optimize your performance also is very very power efficient especially considering that it's a high-end GPU uh which is something that you know in in in Generations past was not really a priority for the you know the two big GPU makers out there and I'm sure you guys know who I'm talking about and looks like I never brought my test bench in here so I can't hold up my 8800 Ultra but that was uh definitely an example of performance at any cost compared to what we're seeing these days with these power efficient high performance graphics cards we've got a couple of dual Molex to six pin PCIe connectors power connectors as well as a DVI to VGA adapter a users manual and installation guide as well well as a graphics drivers DVD is included with this card did I miss any features probably it has 2 gigs of memory 1,344 Kuda cor a 256-bit memory interface making it a very high-end card compared to what we normally see in terms of how cut down the step down from the flagship single GPU card is so for example on the GTX 570 we saw a clock speed reduction and we've got a clock speed reduction here although a fairly less significant one especially for these Factory overclocked cards so we've got a clock speed reduction we've got a decrease in the number of cacor but um okay I guess that's probably oh yeah right right right right right whereas with previous generation products we also saw decreases in the memory frequency for example uh and I think that pretty much covers it GPU boost right right three plus1 displays are supported with NVIDIA 3D Vision surround or just regular surround and then an auxiliary display we've got dual DVI output HDMI as well as DisplayPort we've also got support for 4K monitors and HDMI 1.4a which means you got your 3D and all that good stuff and this is about as non reference as a cooler gets so we've got actually some really cool branding elements going on here so GeForce GTX 670 Kepler that is the code name you normally never see the code name on a final product like that so I think that's kind of a nice touch this is also oh this is metal shroud so we've got an aluminum shroud around 2 92 mm cooling fans on a very very nice looking heat sink r a radiator style heat sink so it's got four heat pipes you can see the copper base of it right in there with the four heat pipes coming out this is a 2 gig card so uh let me see y all the memory is installed on the other side it looks like this is actually using what PCB design is this using huh cool so I did didn't know that this wasn't going to be a reference PCB and you can see how different they are I'm going to prop this one up right here okay so there's a reference PCB which is this short galaxy has seriously beefed this thing up compared to the reference design card so they've moved the power delivery back over to this side whereas NV video on their reference card put it over here they have just seriously amped up the cooling involved I mean the uh the aluminum cooling portion I I don't know if you're going to be able to see it you know you guys aren't going to be able to see it but on the reference card it's you know about yay big whereas on this card you can see that it is about yay big and then they have um they have also added a six pin and 8 Pin PCIe power connector compared to the Dual six pins that were on the reference card and I don't remember oh right right because I was confused look at this they've actually added like ventilation holes in the PCB and I can show you why they've done that because you can see some of the power delivery components over here have gaps very small gaps I'm going to try and get you guys a better angle here very small gaps between these guys and this allows air flow to go over them more naturally than if there if than if it was just a straight A straight dead stop for the air and it didn't really have anywhere to go so that's really cool I haven't seen that before very neat okay so let's move on uh does support multi-way SLI configurations hence the two SLI connectors up at the top and it's got just a very sort of neat look to it little Galaxy like line squiggly thing going on over here I already mentioned we've got the uh six pin and 8 Pin PCIe connectors this is a completely non-reference card I would expect this to run significantly cooler than the reference design which isn't to say that the GTX 570 isn't a cool running card already but when you've got two 92 mm fans as opposed to one what is that a 60 mil 70 mil fan then you can expect it to run quieter run cooler however the caveat is that you need to make sure you have a case with decent air flow because because this guy isn't going to exhaust all of the air out the back of your computer whereas this one will so some of the exhausted air that cooled the GPU is going to stay inside your case as long as you have lots of case fans you should still be fine so I think that pretty much covers it thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at this non-reference galaxy GeForce GTX 670 and don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips from
