00:00:07,399 --> 00:00:14,719
welcome to my unboxing of yes I have already done a Galaxy GeForce GTX 670

2
00:00:12,759 --> 00:00:19,640
unboxing but I'm about to do another one because this is a non reference GTX 670

3
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:25,400
so this one uses the reference design PCB which is the short PCB with the long

4
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:29,519
cooler the uh the blower cooler that exhausts the air out the back and this

5
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:36,200
guy is slightly different so although the spec X are pretty similar this one

6
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:36,200
is slightly overclocked so it's at 1

7
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:44,399
GHz this one's overclocked right yeah it's overclocked factory overclocked to

8
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:47,120
just over 1 GHz still using 6 GHz memory

9
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:51,520
just like the GTX 670 and the GTX 680 before it includes all the usual

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:58,280
features such as the new txaa modes which give you the same look

11
00:00:54,760 --> 00:01:01,480
as as older types of anti-aliasing with

12
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:04,320
a lesser performance hit also includes

13
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:07,640
um GPU boost which dynamically adjusts the clock speed of your GPU according to

14
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:12,240
how much thermal headro as well as power headro is available to it adaptive vsync

15
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:16,040
which gives you the best of both worlds in terms of whether your frame rate is

16
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,400
above your refresh rate it'll turn on vsync and then if it falls below then it

17
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:23,920
turns vsync off to optimize your performance also is very very power

18
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:28,320
efficient especially considering that it's a high-end GPU uh which is

19
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:33,280
something that you know in in in Generations past was not really a

20
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,840
priority for the you know the two big GPU makers out there and I'm sure you

21
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:40,479
guys know who I'm talking about and looks like I never brought my test bench

22
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:45,320
in here so I can't hold up my 8800 Ultra but that was uh definitely an example of

23
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:49,479
performance at any cost compared to what we're seeing these days with these power

24
00:01:47,479 --> 00:01:54,479
efficient high performance graphics cards we've got a couple of dual Molex

25
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:59,000
to six pin PCIe connectors power connectors as well as a DVI to VGA

26
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:06,320
adapter a users manual and installation guide as well well as a graphics drivers

27
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:08,840
DVD is included with this card did I

28
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:13,480
miss any features probably it has 2 gigs of memory

29
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:17,519
1,344 Kuda cor a 256-bit memory

30
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:19,200
interface making it a very high-end card

31
00:02:17,519 --> 00:02:24,000
compared to what we normally see in terms of how cut down the step down from

32
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:28,800
the flagship single GPU card is so for example on the GTX 570 we saw a clock

33
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:32,440
speed reduction and we've got a clock speed reduction here although a fairly

34
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,400
less significant one especially for these Factory overclocked cards so we've

35
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:42,440
got a clock speed reduction we've got a decrease in the number of cacor but

36
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,319
um okay I guess that's probably oh yeah right right right right right whereas

37
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:50,280
with previous generation products we also saw decreases in the memory

38
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:56,200
frequency for example uh and I think that pretty much covers it GPU

39
00:02:53,360 --> 00:03:00,280
boost right right three plus1 displays are supported with NVIDIA 3D Vision

40
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:06,159
surround or just regular surround and then an auxiliary display we've got dual

41
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:08,360
DVI output HDMI as well as DisplayPort

42
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:14,000
we've also got support for 4K monitors and HDMI 1.4a which means you got your

43
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:16,680
3D and all that good stuff and this is

44
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,760
about as non reference as a cooler gets so we've got actually some really cool

45
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:25,200
branding elements going on here so GeForce GTX 670 Kepler that is the code

46
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,760
name you normally never see the code name on a final product like that so I

47
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:33,640
think that's kind of a nice touch this is also oh this is metal shroud so we've

48
00:03:30,519 --> 00:03:37,720
got an aluminum shroud around 2 92 mm

49
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:40,560
cooling fans on a very very nice looking

50
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:44,519
heat sink r a radiator style heat sink so it's got four heat pipes you can see

51
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:49,959
the copper base of it right in there with the four heat pipes coming out this

52
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,280
is a 2 gig card so uh let me see y all

53
00:03:49,959 --> 00:03:56,480
the memory is installed on the other side it looks like this is actually

54
00:03:53,040 --> 00:04:00,319
using what PCB design is this

55
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:02,040
using huh cool so I did didn't know that

56
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:05,799
this wasn't going to be a reference PCB and you can see how different they are

57
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,879
I'm going to prop this one up right here okay so there's a reference PCB which is

58
00:04:07,799 --> 00:04:14,959
this short galaxy has seriously beefed this

59
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:18,919
thing up compared to the reference design card so they've moved the power

60
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:24,040
delivery back over to this side whereas NV video on their reference card put it

61
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:27,280
over here they have just seriously amped

62
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:29,759
up the cooling involved I mean the uh

63
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:31,560
the aluminum cooling portion I I don't know if you're going to be able to see

64
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:37,280
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

65
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:44,080
this card you can see that it is about yay big and then they have um they have

66
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:46,520
also added a six pin and 8 Pin PCIe

67
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:50,479
power connector compared to the Dual six pins that were on the reference card and

68
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:55,440
I don't remember oh right right because I was confused look at this they've

69
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:57,160
actually added like ventilation holes in

70
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:02,840
the PCB and I can show you why they've done that because you can see some of the power delivery components over here

71
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:06,560
have gaps very small gaps I'm going to try and get you guys a better angle here

72
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:11,600
very small gaps between these guys and this allows air flow to go over them

73
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,880
more naturally than if there if than if it was just a straight A straight dead

74
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:22,199
stop for the air and it didn't really have anywhere to go so that's really cool I haven't seen that

75
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:25,960
before very neat okay so let's move on uh does support multi-way SLI

76
00:05:23,919 --> 00:05:29,840
configurations hence the two SLI connectors up at the top and it's got

77
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,560
just a very sort of neat look to it little Galaxy like line squiggly thing

78
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:37,440
going on over here I already mentioned we've got the uh six pin and 8 Pin PCIe

79
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:43,400
connectors this is a completely non-reference card I would expect this to run significantly cooler than the

80
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:48,840
reference design which isn't to say that the GTX 570 isn't a cool running card

81
00:05:46,039 --> 00:05:53,520
already but when you've got two 92 mm fans as opposed to one what is that a 60

82
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:57,960
mil 70 mil fan then you can expect it to run quieter run cooler however the

83
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:02,520
caveat is that you need to make sure you have a case with decent air flow because

84
00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:06,479
because this guy isn't going to exhaust all of the air out the back of your

85
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:10,240
computer whereas this one will so some of the exhausted air that cooled the GPU

86
00:06:08,919 --> 00:06:14,639
is going to stay inside your case as long as you have lots of case fans you

87
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,520
should still be fine so I think that pretty much covers it thank you for
