WEBVTT 00:00:07.399 --> 00:00:14.719 welcome to my unboxing of yes I have already done a Galaxy GeForce GTX 670 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 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:25.400 so this one uses the reference design PCB which is the short PCB with the long 00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:29.519 cooler the uh the blower cooler that exhausts the air out the back and this 00:00:27.560 --> 00:00:36.200 guy is slightly different so although the spec X are pretty similar this one 00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:36.200 is slightly overclocked so it's at 1 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:44.399 GHz this one's overclocked right yeah it's overclocked factory overclocked to 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:47.120 just over 1 GHz still using 6 GHz memory 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:51.520 just like the GTX 670 and the GTX 680 before it includes all the usual 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:58.280 features such as the new txaa modes which give you the same look 00:00:54.760 --> 00:01:01.480 as as older types of anti-aliasing with 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:04.320 a lesser performance hit also includes 00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:07.640 um GPU boost which dynamically adjusts the clock speed of your GPU according to 00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:12.240 how much thermal headro as well as power headro is available to it adaptive vsync 00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:16.040 which gives you the best of both worlds in terms of whether your frame rate is 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 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:23.920 turns vsync off to optimize your performance also is very very power 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:28.320 efficient especially considering that it's a high-end GPU uh which is 00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:33.280 something that you know in in in Generations past was not really a 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 00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:40.479 guys know who I'm talking about and looks like I never brought my test bench 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 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:49.479 performance at any cost compared to what we're seeing these days with these power 00:01:47.479 --> 00:01:54.479 efficient high performance graphics cards we've got a couple of dual Molex 00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:59.000 to six pin PCIe connectors power connectors as well as a DVI to VGA 00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:06.320 adapter a users manual and installation guide as well well as a graphics drivers 00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:08.840 DVD is included with this card did I 00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:13.480 miss any features probably it has 2 gigs of memory 00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:17.519 1,344 Kuda cor a 256-bit memory 00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:19.200 interface making it a very high-end card 00:02:17.519 --> 00:02:24.000 compared to what we normally see in terms of how cut down the step down from 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 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:32.440 speed reduction and we've got a clock speed reduction here although a fairly 00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:36.400 less significant one especially for these Factory overclocked cards so we've 00:02:34.760 --> 00:02:42.440 got a clock speed reduction we've got a decrease in the number of cacor but 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:45.319 um okay I guess that's probably oh yeah right right right right right whereas 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:50.280 with previous generation products we also saw decreases in the memory 00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:56.200 frequency for example uh and I think that pretty much covers it GPU 00:02:53.360 --> 00:03:00.280 boost right right three plus1 displays are supported with NVIDIA 3D Vision 00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:06.159 surround or just regular surround and then an auxiliary display we've got dual 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:08.360 DVI output HDMI as well as DisplayPort 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 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:16.680 3D and all that good stuff and this is 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.760 about as non reference as a cooler gets so we've got actually some really cool 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:25.200 branding elements going on here so GeForce GTX 670 Kepler that is the code 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:28.760 name you normally never see the code name on a final product like that so I 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 00:03:30.519 --> 00:03:37.720 got an aluminum shroud around 2 92 mm 00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:40.560 cooling fans on a very very nice looking 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 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:49.959 the copper base of it right in there with the four heat pipes coming out this 00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:51.280 is a 2 gig card so uh let me see y all 00:03:49.959 --> 00:03:56.480 the memory is installed on the other side it looks like this is actually 00:03:53.040 --> 00:04:00.319 using what PCB design is this 00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:02.040 using huh cool so I did didn't know that 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 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 00:04:07.799 --> 00:04:14.959 this short galaxy has seriously beefed this 00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:18.919 thing up compared to the reference design card so they've moved the power 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:24.040 delivery back over to this side whereas NV video on their reference card put it 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:27.280 over here they have just seriously amped 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:29.759 up the cooling involved I mean the uh 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 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 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 00:04:40.440 --> 00:04:46.520 also added a six pin and 8 Pin PCIe 00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:50.479 power connector compared to the Dual six pins that were on the reference card and 00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:55.440 I don't remember oh right right because I was confused look at this they've 00:04:51.960 --> 00:04:57.160 actually added like ventilation holes in 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 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 00:05:04.280 --> 00:05:11.600 very small gaps between these guys and this allows air flow to go over them 00:05:09.080 --> 00:05:14.880 more naturally than if there if than if it was just a straight A straight dead 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 00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:25.960 before very neat okay so let's move on uh does support multi-way SLI 00:05:23.919 --> 00:05:29.840 configurations hence the two SLI connectors up at the top and it's got 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:33.560 just a very sort of neat look to it little Galaxy like line squiggly thing 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 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 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 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 00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:57.960 mil 70 mil fan then you can expect it to run quieter run cooler however the 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 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 00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:10.240 computer whereas this one will so some of the exhausted air that cooled the GPU 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 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:17.520 should still be fine so I think that pretty much covers it thank you for 00:06:15.919 --> 00:06:22.599 checking out my unboxing and first look at
