1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:08,880
so today we're going to be doing an unboxing this is the MSI

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:10,080
their take on the gtx 570 from NVIDIA so

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,160
the first thing you're going to notice about the front of their box is well i

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:20,480
don't know i don't know what the first thing you're going to notice is but the first thing i notice is this afterburner

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:24,960
logo attached to like a spaceship thing going on here so afterburners MSI's

6
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:28,960
overclocking and tweaking software that is awesome it's really good it's great

7
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:33,280
you can adjust voltages you can adjust clock speeds you can set different

8
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:37,200
overclocking profiles you can make it so that it sets everything up when you boot

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,559
into Windows it's really really good anyway other things

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:46,079
on the front of the box we have a three year warranty and emma in MSI in the usa

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:49,440
and canada and bear in mind that in canada so this is applicable to our

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:53,520
canadian viewers the warranty is actually covered within canada so you

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,879
don't have to ship to a us depot that's a pretty good advantage because you

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:02,399
don't have to pay shipping across the border deal with customs etc we have

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:05,040
full support for NVIDIA cuda sli phys x

16
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:09,360
as well as 3d vision including 3d vision surround although you will need two

17
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:13,119
cards to run 3d vision surround and the specs are

18
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:18,720
pretty much the same as any other gtx 570 in that you've got

19
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:22,240
1.28 megabytes of video card memory

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:24,960
we're actually using the same GPU core

21
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:29,759
as the gtx 580 but it is slightly cut down so we have fewer processing cores

22
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:34,640
and a lower memory bandwidth to go along with

23
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:38,720
the lower memory capacity so let's take the card out for a second and then we're

24
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:42,960
going to have a look at what MSI's included in terms of accessories because

25
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:47,040
that's sort of part of their package as an NVIDIA add-in board partner as well

26
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:51,920
so the first thing we have is a quick user guide next we have a driver disk throw it away

27
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:59,360
download the latest from NVIDIA's website we have a mini dvi or rather

28
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:01,759
mini dvi mini HDMI to HDMI adapter

29
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:05,439
we have a dvi to vga adapter although please do yourself a favor and get a dvi

30
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:11,760
monitor if you're running a video card of this caliber next we have two molex

31
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:13,840
to PCIe six pin adapters just in case

32
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:18,080
you do not have an up-to-date power supply with PCIe connectors in which

33
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:21,920
case please get a new power supply and next we have a little guide on how to

34
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:24,879
use their live update feature all right let's get down to the graphics card

35
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:31,599
itself at the time of recording this video MSI's gtx 570 also comes with one

36
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:37,440
additional free game that the other gtx 570s do not so it comes with with all

37
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,840
the usual stuff and then it comes with a copy of metro 2033 it's not included in

38
00:02:40,239 --> 00:02:48,239
the box but you get a coupon if you buy it from ncix that that includes a

39
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,800
download steam version of metro 2033 so

40
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:54,640
that's a pretty cool game directx 11 to run on your brand new directx 11 video

41
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,560
card so here at the back you can see there's not a whole lot to speak of here

42
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:04,400
at the top of the card you will find an MSI logo you will also find a GeForce

43
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:07,040
logo as well as two PCIe six pin power

44
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:12,560
connectors so that is two six pin rather than a six pin and an eight pin like on

45
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,920
the gtx 580. here at the top of the card

46
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,879
covered by MSI's little trademark

47
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:22,000
blue cover things are two sli connectors so

48
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:26,159
that means we have full support for two-way sli as well as three-way sli

49
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:33,200
using a three-way sli bridge and a compatible motherboard all right here we

50
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:36,080
have a pci express 16x interface

51
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:41,120
down here at the bottom moving on to the back we have what i

52
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:45,840
would now consider to be standard for an

53
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:49,120
NVIDIA 500 series card we have two dvi

54
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,799
ports one mini HDMI port so remember

55
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:55,200
that you can only use two of these at a time that means you can either use both

56
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:59,439
dvi's you can use a dvi and HDMI and then a dvi and HDMI you can't use all

57
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:03,920
three at the same time to get NVIDIA surround that is 3d vision surround or

58
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:09,439
just regular surround gaming going on you actually have to have two cards

59
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:11,760
running in sli mode and then you hook up

60
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:16,320
two monitors to one card and one monitor to the second card and given how much

61
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:20,560
horsepower is required for 3-monitor gaming i don't really feel that's an

62
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,840
unfair requirement on NVIDIA's part especially because you don't have to

63
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:29,040
have a displayport monitor you can run three

64
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:30,400
HDMI or dvi monitors okay here at the

65
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:34,400
back of the card there's not really a whole lot and i think that pretty much

66
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:40,639
covers everything there is to say about the MSI gtx 570 so i know i haven't had

67
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:45,280
a performance review up yet but i will have my usual slew of video content

68
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:48,280
around the gtx 570 coming for you guys shortly
