00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:08.880
so today we're going to be doing an unboxing this is the MSI

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:10.080
their take on the gtx 570 from NVIDIA so

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

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

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:24.960
logo attached to like a spaceship thing going on here so afterburners MSI's

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:28.960
overclocking and tweaking software that is awesome it's really good it's great

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:33.280
you can adjust voltages you can adjust clock speeds you can set different

00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:37.200
overclocking profiles you can make it so that it sets everything up when you boot

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:40.559
into Windows it's really really good anyway other things

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

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:49.440
and canada and bear in mind that in canada so this is applicable to our

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:53.520
canadian viewers the warranty is actually covered within canada so you

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

00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:02.399
don't have to pay shipping across the border deal with customs etc we have

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:05.040
full support for NVIDIA cuda sli phys x

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:09.360
as well as 3d vision including 3d vision surround although you will need two

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:13.119
cards to run 3d vision surround and the specs are

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:18.720
pretty much the same as any other gtx 570 in that you've got

00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:22.240
1.28 megabytes of video card memory

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:24.960
we're actually using the same GPU core

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:29.759
as the gtx 580 but it is slightly cut down so we have fewer processing cores

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:34.640
and a lower memory bandwidth to go along with

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

00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:42.960
going to have a look at what MSI's included in terms of accessories because

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

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

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:59.360
download the latest from NVIDIA's website we have a mini dvi or rather

00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:01.759
mini dvi mini HDMI to HDMI adapter

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

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:11.760
monitor if you're running a video card of this caliber next we have two molex

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:13.840
to PCIe six pin adapters just in case

00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:18.080
you do not have an up-to-date power supply with PCIe connectors in which

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

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:24.879
use their live update feature all right let's get down to the graphics card

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:31.599
itself at the time of recording this video MSI's gtx 570 also comes with one

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:37.440
additional free game that the other gtx 570s do not so it comes with with all

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

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

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:50.800
download steam version of metro 2033 so

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

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

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

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:07.040
logo as well as two PCIe six pin power

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

00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:15.920
the gtx 580. here at the top of the card

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:16.879
covered by MSI's little trademark

00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:22.000
blue cover things are two sli connectors so

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:26.159
that means we have full support for two-way sli as well as three-way sli

00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:33.200
using a three-way sli bridge and a compatible motherboard all right here we

00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:36.080
have a pci express 16x interface

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:41.120
down here at the bottom moving on to the back we have what i

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:45.840
would now consider to be standard for an

00:03:41.920 --> 00:03:49.120
NVIDIA 500 series card we have two dvi

00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:50.799
ports one mini HDMI port so remember

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

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

00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:03.920
three at the same time to get NVIDIA surround that is 3d vision surround or

00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:09.439
just regular surround gaming going on you actually have to have two cards

00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:11.760
running in sli mode and then you hook up

00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:16.320
two monitors to one card and one monitor to the second card and given how much

00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:20.560
horsepower is required for 3-monitor gaming i don't really feel that's an

00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:23.840
unfair requirement on NVIDIA's part especially because you don't have to

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:29.040
have a displayport monitor you can run three

00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:30.400
HDMI or dvi monitors okay here at the

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

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

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:45.280
a performance review up yet but i will have my usual slew of video content

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:48.280
around the gtx 570 coming for you guys shortly
