00:00:07,319 --> 00:00:15,879
welcome to my unboxing of the Galaxy GeForce GTX 660 Ti Factory overclock so

2
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:19,960
Galaxy clocked Edition two gig card with custom Cooling and their Force air

3
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:26,519
bracket supporting 3 plus1 display gaming direct X11 physx 3D Vision 3D

4
00:00:23,599 --> 00:00:31,279
Vision suround using NVIDIA's latest 28 nanometer manufacturing process which

5
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:36,280
gives you outstanding power efficiency even compared to lower end lower

6
00:00:33,559 --> 00:00:44,320
performing last generation products all of the usual Kepler features including

7
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:46,920
um adaptive vsync as well as txaa FXAA

8
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:51,399
so these are new better either faster or higher quality anti-aliasing methods

9
00:00:49,239 --> 00:00:56,239
you've also got full support for GPU boost which takes your uh let's see yeah

10
00:00:53,960 --> 00:01:00,719
GPU boost which basically lets your graphics card clock itself at whatever

11
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:05,119
it needs staying with within a certain power and temperature threshold in order

12
00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:10,360
to give you the best performance you it can give you in any game that it wants

13
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:14,119
to give you that best performance and that sort of petered out near the end

14
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:21,720
but the point is it's good it uses the same chip as the GTX 670 and 680 so this

15
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,960
is a GK 104 chip in here and NVIDIA

16
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:28,840
hasn't even really cut it down a lot so instead of a 256bit memory interface

17
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:35,360
it's using a 192-bit memory interface but the memory is still clocked at 6 GHz

18
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:39,119
and the core is still at the same clock

19
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:41,200
speed as a GTX 670 it's still got two

20
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:47,000
gigs of memory because NVIDIA's done some funky rejiggering with the memory

21
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:52,240
controller so that they can actually run different density memory chips on

22
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:56,039
different um I don't know if I don't know if

23
00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:00,799
channels is right but whatever they can mix and match the density of the memory

24
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:05,399
chips in order to have a 192bit plus but an even 2 gigs of video memory instead

25
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:11,000
of 1.5 gigs of memory like we would have seen in the past the first time we saw

26
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:13,120
this was on I think the 550 TI so uh so

27
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:19,319
now we're seeing this on high-end cards and this is truly a high-end card uses a

28
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:22,080
PCI Express 3.0 interface supports as I

29
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:27,319
mentioned before three + one displays using DVI HDMI and DisplayPort it's got

30
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:32,400
Galaxy's custom bracket on the back which is going to give you a little bit more exhaust but in the case of a card

31
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,720
like this where most of the exhaust is going to be around the card because it's

32
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:40,080
using an internal exhaust cooler as opposed to an external exhaust cooler uh

33
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:47,159
it's not going to make that much of a difference it's got dual SLI fingers

34
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:51,680
meaning this is yes a 60 level card so

35
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:53,400
like a 460 560 660 Ti 60 Lev card that

36
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:58,080
supports three-way SLI soak that in for a moment it

37
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:02,319
supports truly high-end features this custom card from Galaxy has a six pin

38
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:06,239
and an 8 Pin power connector which in theory should deliver more power to the

39
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:10,959
card if it needs it but it's probably unnecessary given even the GTX 680 uses

40
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:15,480
two six pins unless you buy the Galaxy card which does have a beef or power

41
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:20,120
delivery system speaking of beef or power delivery system the reference

42
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:24,480
cards are using that short PCB almost the same PCB as the 670 I mean it uses

43
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,440
the same chip and it's clocked at the same clock speed and it's clocked at the

44
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,120
same memory speed with the same amount of memory so it's pretty similar but

45
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:36,799
they had to do it a little bit for that mixed mixed density memory that's going

46
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:41,280
on so galaxy has not used that shortened PCB they' have done a beefier PCB with

47
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:45,920
more vrm components you can sort of see them all here more Cooling and more

48
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,040
length so it's a longer PCB on the Galaxy card and uh but it still uses

49
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:54,000
these top mounted power connectors so you shouldn't uh shouldn't run into any

50
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,799
sort of obstructions sticking out power connectors out of the end of your card

51
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,239
this cooler is actually phenomenally efficient so we compared it I've

52
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:05,360
actually already opened this card and already tested it and benchmarked it in

53
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:09,640
sort of every way but you know whatever um this card this cooler actually is

54
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,920
significantly more efficient than the twin frozer 4 cooler on the MSI power

55
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:17,440
Edition card I was really impressed by that it also includes dust removal

56
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:21,000
technology which means it spins backwards for a few seconds when you

57
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:24,680
first boot up to blow some of the dust out of the heat sink and then turns

58
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:27,479
around and Spins properly forward in order to give you the best cooling

59
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,280
possible speaking of the best cooling possible because almost the entire PC B

60
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,600
surface has fans blowing down on it you have great cooling not only for the GPU

61
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:40,600
core itself which has these heat pipes carrying heat away from the core out to

62
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:45,000
the outer edges of the fins but also great cooling for your memory vrm

63
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:49,000
components and whatever other things you're going to find on the card itself

64
00:04:47,039 --> 00:04:52,720
this is a pre-overclocked card but you can still push it a little bit further

65
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,919
so we did manage to overclock this card about another 90 megaherz on the core

66
00:04:54,919 --> 00:05:01,000
which gave us again even more of a performance boost once you start

67
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:05,479
overclocking the 66 TI especially if you can squeeze a little bit more out of the

68
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:08,720
memory performance gets amazingly close

69
00:05:05,479 --> 00:05:10,280
to a GTX 670 now it's been true for

70
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:16,160
quite a few Generations now that you can take a 260 or uh and the 260 was sort of

71
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:21,479
pretty close to the 280 at the time that's not the same as how a 460 was to

72
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:25,160
a 470 and a 480 but you could take a 260 and get it pretty close to 280

73
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:32,160
performance by overclocking same for 470 and 480 same for 570 and 580 same for

74
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:34,680
670 and 680 now we can take a 60 level

75
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:39,440
card and actually overclock it to nearly the same performance as a

76
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:44,680
670 which has not been something we've seen in the past 560 TI wouldn't be able

77
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:49,639
to touch a 570 and the same goes for a 460 to a 470 so this is a very exciting

78
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:56,520
card especially given that it's $100 cheaper than a670 and $200 cheaper than

79
00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:02,600
a 680 supporting all those high-end features supporting I mean low power

80
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,080
consumption how do you go wrong I guess

81
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:09,800
have I run out of things to say about it let's have a look at the accessories so Galaxy includes a couple

82
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:15,280
things with their card which I don't know what they are yet DVI to VGA

83
00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:17,000
adapter two dual Mo X4 pin two six oh

84
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:22,759
right sorry one is to 8 Pin one is to six pin some kind of users manual and no

85
00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:26,840
driver disc download the latest from the NVIDIA website there you go They're

86
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:30,199
sending a message um let's just finish up with sort of some closer looks that

87
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,280
see this is part of why I think this cooler performs so well look how thick

88
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:40,639
the fins are they're using almost the entire dual slot of the card in order to

89
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:43,080
either build fans around it or put like

90
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:45,960
massive see look in between the two fans they actually build it up a little bit

91
00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:49,840
more just because they have a little bit more space to throw in aluminum fins so

92
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:53,720
that's I I mean I don't think it's anything about the design is more for

93
00:06:51,479 --> 00:06:56,599
the aesthetic is more for the look so I don't think it's anything about that

94
00:06:55,199 --> 00:07:02,960
that makes it perform really well I think they've just put a beast amount of

95
00:06:58,599 --> 00:07:05,599
metal on this card two decent 80mm fans

96
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,520
and it gets you know cooled really well so thank you for checking out my
