00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:10,719
oh I got it okay today we're going to be doing a length comparison between the

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:13,440
GTX 570 and the GTX 580 so I have two

3
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:18,320
MSI cards here and I'm going to show you how they compare in terms of length well

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:25,840
audience first of all why don't we have a look at the allnew GTX 570 and we will

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:27,840
discover that it is 10 and5 in long and

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:32,040
then we will look at the GTX 580 to discover that it is 10 and 1/2 in long

7
00:00:29,759 --> 00:00:38,440
so this reveals something very interesting about the GTX 570 and that

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:42,840
is that it actually uses exactly the same cooler almost I I I noticed one

9
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:47,520
small difference between the coolers check this out guys okay so this is the

10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:52,160
570 see how the aluminum fin comes up a little bit closer to the vent compared

11
00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:56,480
to the GTX 580 I don't even know if you guys can see that here I'll give you

12
00:00:53,680 --> 00:01:00,199
sort of a better perspective on it can you can you tell in the camera okay it's

13
00:00:58,199 --> 00:01:04,040
hard to tell in the camera but they do both use a vapor chamber cooler however

14
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:10,159
it looks like the positioning of the fins or maybe the number of fins is

15
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:12,520
slightly different so there there's a

16
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:17,320
bit of intrigue for you all right other than that we have a two six pin versus a

17
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:21,640
six pin and an 8 Pin PCIe power connector and then you're going to find

18
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:25,040
more differences on the back because even though they use here look at it

19
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:31,079
this way even though they use the same PCB there's actually fewer things

20
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,320
soldered to the GTX 5 70 PCB so you can

21
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:37,479
see where the RAM chips are installed there's all kinds of little components

22
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:44,119
soldered onto the back of the RAM chip so the GTX 570 which is here has that

23
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:48,840
but not here so there's actually blank spots where they could have potentially

24
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:54,439
installed more RAM chips used a higher bin GPU one that has more active

25
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:58,240
functional units and that would be a 580 pretty much as long as they put an 8 Pin

26
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:01,840
power connector on it so they're very very similar cards basic basically

27
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:07,399
you've just got lower memory bandwidth on the 570 less overall memory and then

28
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:11,879
you've got a slightly cut down or lower Bend GPU and if you're not sure what I

29
00:02:09,239 --> 00:02:16,360
mean by Bend or binning you should check out the NC Tech tips episode where we

30
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:21,280
explained the process of binning and how that works in the electronics Industry
