1
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:06,799
this is truly a magnificent box this is

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:10,160
the box for the EVGA classified special

3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:13,920
edition gForce GTX

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:16,920
590 and I know I already unboxed a 590

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,600
but I had I saw this box in the back and

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:23,240
actually actually it didn't come in this one just keep the camera pointed that way I'll bring it over I'll bring it

7
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:29,519
over I saw it in the warehouse and it was literally in this

8
00:00:26,439 --> 00:00:32,559
box and I was like oh is that a is that

9
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:34,960
a m carton of video cards maybe there's

10
00:00:32,559 --> 00:00:40,039
like four inside and the warehouse guy is like no that's one video card I was

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:44,160
like are you sure and he's like yeah and I'm like okay cuz I didn't believe him

12
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:48,640
so I opened it and sure enough it was one video card so let's unveil it

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:59,559
here so the first thing we find inside is an EVGA t-shirt made by Hanes so it's

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:05,640
not even like your cheap t-shirt that's a t egas haes t-shirt let's go ahead and

15
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:10,600
open that up there oh nice heavy cotton on that too and what's the size the size

16
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:17,000
is XL well that figures it's a little big on me but uh you know I guess they

17
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:23,240
figure your typical GTX 590 Gamers probably an XL ooh this is nice that's a

18
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:27,119
really nice mouse pad actually look at that limited edition it's a it's a hard

19
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:31,720
gaming surface got a little bit of flex to it got a nice rubber back so it's not

20
00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:36,479
going to slip anywhere that's very nice actually nice touch next we

21
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:43,280
have one of those EVGA gaming posters

22
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,280
with the skull on

23
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:52,040
it okay and we got some more foam here oh

24
00:01:49,479 --> 00:01:55,759
just foam look at that see just foam okay and we'll take out another piece of

25
00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:01,240
foam pretty nice piece of foam for what it's worth nice uh you know gray foam oh

26
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:06,399
oh there's two cards oh no there's not two cards oh okay I guess you can buy a

27
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,840
kit with two cards well this is just the one card kit so we get a nice piece of

28
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:14,959
foam as well as a card okay so let's look at the accessories first we have

29
00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:19,200
two six pins and one eight pin or rather two six pins to one eight

30
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:23,280
pin we've got two of those so if you have an SLI ready power supply that's

31
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:26,519
older and only has four six pin power uh six pin PCIe connectors and you will

32
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,599
still be able to connect the classified to eight pins we've got a mini display

33
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:38,760
port to fullsize DisplayPort

34
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:44,760
adapter we have a DVI to VGA uh to HDMI

35
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:46,879
adapter as well as a DVI to VGA adapter

36
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:53,080
and for crying out loud please don't use VGA on this on this uh card okay

37
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:57,640
attention please allow the graphics card to cool for a minimum of 2 minutes after

38
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:06,440
operation okay before removing it from your system and here we have it this is

39
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:09,799
the GTX 590 classified limited

40
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:11,319
edition graphics card you know what this

41
00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:14,519
is actually a little bit different from the reference one I'll have to you know

42
00:03:13,239 --> 00:03:22,159
what let me go get my reference card I'll be back in a minute and I'll show you guys so two things okay first of all

43
00:03:19,239 --> 00:03:27,040
evga's back plate is clearly going to do a better job of cooling the memory than

44
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:31,000
the stock two-piece back plate because it is a single piece and so it just

45
00:03:29,239 --> 00:03:35,000
plain has more surface area there's no rocket science to it here okay second of

46
00:03:33,239 --> 00:03:39,000
all EVGA seems to be one of the only graphics card companies that has figured

47
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:42,599
out which way people install graphics cards in their computers so they install

48
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,879
them like this which means that all of this text is now right side up for you

49
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:51,519
to read when it's installed in your system very nice very nice touch EVGA so

50
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,360
let's go ahead and turn it over and compare the other side to our reference

51
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,879
card which I think is going to be quite

52
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:02,079
similar yeah okay so now it looks pretty much the same so now I'm going to take

53
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:07,159
my reference card away and we are going to focus on the evj classified

54
00:04:07,159 --> 00:04:15,799
so this is a 3 gig graphics card it

55
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:18,560
features two GF 110 cores so that is two

56
00:04:15,799 --> 00:04:26,160
full-fledged gpus that are the same as the one that is used in the NVIDIA GTX

57
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:29,560
580 okay now they are running on an

58
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,800
internal SLI configuration which means

59
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:37,280
that that you don't get quite the full performance of two of those chips but

60
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:41,800
you do get the excellent SLI scaling in many titles as well as support for all

61
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:48,000
of NVIDIA's key Technologies such as Cuda physx uh obviously SLI because it's

62
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:52,600
internal but also quad SLI you can actually run two of these bad boys in

63
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:59,360
the same system for even more graphics performance 3D Vision as well as 3D

64
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:01,120
Vision surround so uh let's let's go on

65
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:05,759
a quick tour of the card so here is our SLI finger up here at the top here is

66
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,919
some more text that is right side up when the card is actually installed in

67
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:12,360
your system here is that little lit GeForce

68
00:05:10,919 --> 00:05:15,680
logo so that actually lights up with LEDs and it is functional if there's any

69
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,600
kind of problem with your card like if you don't have the right power

70
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:22,520
connectors uh connected then it'll actually flash so you can you can tell

71
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:31,160
that there's some kind of a problem instead of uh I remember the first time I fired up a GTX uh or rather an 8800

72
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,240
GTX uh it squealed at me like a pig and

73
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:37,199
I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on but it turned out one of my PCIe adapters wasn't plugged in right

74
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:42,120
and that was the issue so there's our 80 mm fan cooling the unisync that you can

75
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:47,520
clearly see down there and then inside the card you can see there's uh one

76
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:49,120
Vapor chamber and two I don't know if

77
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:54,120
you can see that one two Vapor Chambers with fins okay here on the bottom you

78
00:05:50,919 --> 00:05:55,759
see our standard PCIe 16x interface here

79
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,280
at the back of the card you can see some ventilation so that's uh going to be

80
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:03,039
kicking air out towards the front of your C and then here on the front of the card

81
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:08,440
you see some more ventilation as well as one of the coolest features about this

82
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,759
card so the two GTX 580 well remember

83
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:13,520
they're not equivalent because it's the same GPU has all the same functional

84
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:18,160
units but it's clocked a little bit lower in order to get the power under

85
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:22,560
control for a dual GPU card but it has two gpus on it which means you can

86
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:28,360
actually drive four displays off of the single card you can run three displays

87
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:31,840
on DVI for NVIDIA 3D Vision surround off

88
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:34,479
of a single card Isn't that

89
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:40,319
cool I think that's pretty much it so thank you for checking out my unboxing

90
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,919
