WEBVTT

00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:08.440
today we'll be doing a quick unboxing of the third member of the GTX 400 series

00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:12.679
family so up here on top for comparison we'll get more on this later is a GTX

00:00:10.360 --> 00:00:20.240
480 but the one we're actually looking at today is the GTX 465 this is a PNY

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:22.960
accelerate XLR8 performance Edition card

00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:25.439
it is okay they have a couple of extra things that are included with their

00:00:24.119 --> 00:00:28.880
cards that aren't included with others you get two bonus movie downloads and

00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:34.320
they have a few examples of what you can download uh Muppets space uh The Da

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:38.160
Vinci Code SWAT uh some movie I think it's about counting cards and Rudy so

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:43.079
you can get two bonus movie downloads and then you get a 3-month subscription

00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:45.200
to uh Esa all right let's go around to

00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:50.719
the back and we'll find the basic specs while I start to open the packaging so

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:56.760
it is SLI ready it has physics support it has 3D Vision support just like the

00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.960
GTX 470 and the 480 the biggest

00:00:56.760 --> 00:01:05.880
difference with the 465 is actually probably on the front

00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:08.080
uh yes here only 1 gig of ddr5 RAM so

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:12.119
that means that compared to its bigger Brothers you're going to have a little

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:15.680
bit less RAM and you're also going to have a little bit less performance

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:18.920
because it does have fewer processing cores so we'll have a quick look at

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:23.880
what's included here we've got the quick start guide okay it's a pretty much a standard

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:27.880
quick start guide shows you how to install a video card then we have the

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:31.439
installation disc make sure you download the latest drivers off the NVIDIA

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:36.920
website they're latest beta is actually really good then you've got a dual Molex

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:40.640
to one PCIe 6X connector you have a mini

00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:42.720
HDMI to HDMI adapter and then you have a

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:46.640
DVI to VGA adapter you so you can plug in pretty much every conceivable

00:01:44.399 --> 00:01:51.520
connector here so the way it's packed is just in little Foams here and it's sort

00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:56.240
of sturdy enough although it's not uh this was a a quick to Market card so you

00:01:54.200 --> 00:02:04.039
don't expect full custom packaging for it and let's have a look so far it looks

00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:05.960
just like a GTX uh 470 one big

00:02:04.039 --> 00:02:09.520
difference that it uh that it doesn't have especially okay here why don't we

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:13.840
compare it to the 480 instead okay so the big first thing we notice compared

00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:18.200
to the 480 is that it doesn't have the the heat sink surface on the actual

00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:23.000
front of the card so it doesn't have these heat pipes that as you can see

00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:27.840
come out of the top of the card leading to more ventilation space as well as

00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:32.160
this heat sink surface here it does still use a fan blower design so you can

00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:37.200
see the whole second slot is designed for air flow to be vented by this fan

00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:40.480
out the front of the case and this fan is completely shrouded in so that it's

00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.319
not going to exhaust any air back this way this takes all the warm air from

00:02:42.200 --> 00:02:48.840
inside your case cools your card and then blows it out the back of the case

00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:54.480
up on the top we find two six pin PCI Express power connectors as well as a 1

00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:59.879
in shorter length compared to the six pin and eight pin on the 480 as well as

00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:02.200
a 1in longer length the sticker is ALS

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:06.159
so rather shoddily applied on this one but I'm sure that's just a sample and

00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:10.480
not representative of all of them the back of them both look the same okay and

00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:16.760
then let's have a look so this is a standard PCIe 16x card you're going to

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:19.040
find your your standard 16x PCI Express

00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:23.360
connector along the bottom that's uh fairly normal and one thing that you

00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:28.360
will notice about the 465 um especially on these first cards

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:37.159
is that it actually has all of the memory chip spots 4 5 6 7 8 oh no maybe

00:03:31.959 --> 00:03:38.360
hold on maybe it doesn't 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:44.239
you know what I can't tell how many that is it might have eight it might have 10

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:46.159
um it's probably using a GTX 470 PCB but

00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:50.519
actually with two fer RAM chips soldered on because it was uh it was up to the

00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:55.799
addin partners to design the boards for the 465 it uses a very similar design

00:03:53.519 --> 00:04:01.239
where the fan has access both at the back and the front of the PCB to Fresh

00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:05.400
Air you've got got two SLI connectors up on the top so if you're going to be

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:09.519
running SLI either two-way or three-way SLI or if you're going to be running 3D

00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:13.640
Vision surround which you need to run SLI in order to use you're going to need

00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:20.079
those moving around to the back of the card we've got two DVI ports and One

00:04:16.919 --> 00:04:22.680
Mini HDMI although you can't run three

00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:31.560
monitors off the card at the same time so that was pretty much all I wanted to

00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:35.280
say about the PTX PTX PNY GTX X 465 1

00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.280
gig graphics card
