welcome to my unboxing of the Zotac GTX
560 TI which obviously you've seen
before 560ti not a new product by oh
wait hold on a minute let me just get the plastic off here so that it's not as
glossy and reflective Slick's always given me a hard time about using
reflective surfaces to reflect light and
make the camera not focus which then he gets blamed for by the YouTube viewer so
limited edition GTX 560ti with 448 cores
so this is significantly more cor than a regular 560 TI it also has more memory
than a 560 ti so this is interesting a 320 bit memory interface with 1280 Megs
of gddr5 memory that is starting to look an awful lot like a GTX 570 in terms of
the actual spec now a GTX 570 is also
clocked around this 700 and some odd so
uh course speed also clocked around this memory speed so this is starting to look
an awful lot like a very similar card to a GTX 570 it also uses a GF 110 core
rather similarly to the GTX 570 so we've
got a Zotac sticker Zotac graphics card drivers we have some Zotac GeForce
accelerated software that you can get some deals on downloading we have a
Zotac extended warranty and quick installation guide so
please register for your extended warranty on zac.rj
nothing on the back three times the performance of previous generation crank
up the gaming realism okay uh what do we
got here NVIDIA 3D Vision blah blah blah okay yeah this is all good stuff it also
supports uh you know what we'll get to that when we get inside huh interesting
okay you know what here let's look at this again so United States Canada Latin
America oh they veryy please refer to your Regional Zotac website for details
cuz yeah I'm pretty sure this one's to here although correct me if I'm wrong
here guys we've got a user's manual we've got a couple accessories this is a
very small box so don't expect you know a huge card or too many accessories we
got a DVI to VGA adapter and a couple Molex to PCIe power adapters and then
Zotac cards are always so Sleek looking
I love the way their cards look and this one is no exception we've got a great
little orange mesh and black shroud
theme thing going going on here we have a center mounted fan so this is
something we're pretty used to seeing on GTX 560 TI but I'm going to show you a
few things that we are not used to seeing on GTX 560 ti so first we've
started on the top here we've got our standard PCI Express 16x power slot
power slot PCI Express slot we've got a matte black PCB which I was not aware of
until now we've got oh that looks so
good look at this all black components
with just a few different like white or
silver accents on a matte black PCB with
orange accents on the front oh yeah Chrome Zotac logo this
thing is going to look so good so good in your system and check this out you've
also got yes support for three-way SLI
so that is something we are definitely not accustomed to seeing on a gtx560 TI
so what is this thing basically as far far as I can tell
it is pretty much a GTX 570 in GTX 560 TI clothing although I
haven't benchmarked the card yet this is my unboxing I'm opening it now but what
I'm going to do is either on this channel or on my ncixcom channel I'm
going to spend a little bit of time and I'm going to Benchmark it and at least a
couple games against the GTX 570 to find
out how the two compare in terms of performance the price is pretty similar
so I expect them to be fairly similar in terms of performance in terms of cooling
we've got three heat pipes down there can can you see that okay from that
angle yeah you got that so three heat pipes coming out in kind of a flower a
flower cooling Arrangement you can actually see the top heat pipe here
which is making contact with large heat sink fins you can see in from this side
what they look like on the back we've also got nice big a nice big heat sink
on the vrm as well as our two six pin PCIe power adapt connectors and and then
on the top we've pretty much shown you guys that already what do we got for Io
we have two DVI ports HDMI and display
ports so Zotac has opted to give you lots of options not just the usual 500
series DVI DVI mini HDMI note we've got a fullsize HDMI as well as a display
port output on this Zotac card so based on the overall cooler design the PCB
design I'm expecting this to be a fairly quiet card just because most of the 500
series cards are quite quiet but until I
actually get it on the bench I won't have a totally clear idea but I think
that pretty much covers it so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the
limited edition Zotac GTX 560 TI 448
core and stay tuned don't forget to be subscribed to both Linus Tech tips as
well as ncixcom for my follow-up video on this where I compare it to the 570
and find out just exactly what this thing is
