WEBVTT

00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:06.799
this is truly a magnificent box this is

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:10.160
the box for the EVGA classified special

00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:13.920
edition gForce GTX

00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:16.920
590 and I know I already unboxed a 590

00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:18.600
but I had I saw this box in the back and

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

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:29.519
over I saw it in the warehouse and it was literally in this

00:00:26.439 --> 00:00:32.559
box and I was like oh is that a is that

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:34.960
a m carton of video cards maybe there's

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:23.240
figure your typical GTX 590 Gamers probably an XL ooh this is nice that's a

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

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

00:01:29.479 --> 00:01:36.479
going to slip anywhere that's very nice actually nice touch next we

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:43.280
have one of those EVGA gaming posters

00:01:40.520 --> 00:01:43.280
with the skull on

00:01:44.399 --> 00:01:52.040
it okay and we got some more foam here oh

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:12.239 --> 00:02:19.200
two six pins and one eight pin or rather two six pins to one eight

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

00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:26.519
older and only has four six pin power uh six pin PCIe connectors and you will

00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.599
still be able to connect the classified to eight pins we've got a mini display

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:38.760
port to fullsize DisplayPort

00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:44.760
adapter we have a DVI to VGA uh to HDMI

00:02:38.760 --> 00:02:46.879
adapter as well as a DVI to VGA adapter

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

00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:57.640
attention please allow the graphics card to cool for a minimum of 2 minutes after

00:02:55.480 --> 00:03:06.440
operation okay before removing it from your system and here we have it this is

00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:09.799
the GTX 590 classified limited

00:03:06.440 --> 00:03:11.319
edition graphics card you know what this

00:03:09.799 --> 00:03:14.519
is actually a little bit different from the reference one I'll have to you know

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

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

00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:31.000
the stock two-piece back plate because it is a single piece and so it just

00:03:29.239 --> 00:03:35.000
plain has more surface area there's no rocket science to it here okay second of

00:03:33.239 --> 00:03:39.000
all EVGA seems to be one of the only graphics card companies that has figured

00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:42.599
out which way people install graphics cards in their computers so they install

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

00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:51.519
to read when it's installed in your system very nice very nice touch EVGA so

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:56.360
let's go ahead and turn it over and compare the other side to our reference

00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.879
card which I think is going to be quite

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

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:07.159
my reference card away and we are going to focus on the evj classified

00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:15.799
so this is a 3 gig graphics card it

00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:18.560
features two GF 110 cores so that is two

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

00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:29.560
580 okay now they are running on an

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:31.800
internal SLI configuration which means

00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:37.280
that that you don't get quite the full performance of two of those chips but

00:04:34.520 --> 00:04:41.800
you do get the excellent SLI scaling in many titles as well as support for all

00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:48.000
of NVIDIA's key Technologies such as Cuda physx uh obviously SLI because it's

00:04:45.400 --> 00:04:52.600
internal but also quad SLI you can actually run two of these bad boys in

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:59.360
the same system for even more graphics performance 3D Vision as well as 3D

00:04:55.840 --> 00:05:01.120
Vision surround so uh let's let's go on

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

00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.919
some more text that is right side up when the card is actually installed in

00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:12.360
your system here is that little lit GeForce

00:05:10.919 --> 00:05:15.680
logo so that actually lights up with LEDs and it is functional if there's any

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:19.600
kind of problem with your card like if you don't have the right power

00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:22.520
connectors uh connected then it'll actually flash so you can you can tell

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

00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:32.240
GTX uh it squealed at me like a pig and

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

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

00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:47.520
clearly see down there and then inside the card you can see there's uh one

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:49.120
Vapor chamber and two I don't know if

00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:54.120
you can see that one two Vapor Chambers with fins okay here on the bottom you

00:05:50.919 --> 00:05:55.759
see our standard PCIe 16x interface here

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

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

00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:08.440
you see some more ventilation as well as one of the coolest features about this

00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.759
card so the two GTX 580 well remember

00:06:08.440 --> 00:06:13.520
they're not equivalent because it's the same GPU has all the same functional

00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:18.160
units but it's clocked a little bit lower in order to get the power under

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

00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:28.360
actually drive four displays off of the single card you can run three displays

00:06:25.080 --> 00:06:31.840
on DVI for NVIDIA 3D Vision surround off

00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:34.479
of a single card Isn't that

00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:40.319
cool I think that's pretty much it so thank you for checking out my unboxing

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:41.919
