00:00:07.319 --> 00:00:15.879
welcome to my unboxing of the Galaxy GeForce GTX 660 Ti Factory overclock so

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:19.960
Galaxy clocked Edition two gig card with custom Cooling and their Force air

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:26.519
bracket supporting 3 plus1 display gaming direct X11 physx 3D Vision 3D

00:00:23.599 --> 00:00:31.279
Vision suround using NVIDIA's latest 28 nanometer manufacturing process which

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:36.280
gives you outstanding power efficiency even compared to lower end lower

00:00:33.559 --> 00:00:44.320
performing last generation products all of the usual Kepler features including

00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:46.920
um adaptive vsync as well as txaa FXAA

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:51.399
so these are new better either faster or higher quality anti-aliasing methods

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

00:00:53.960 --> 00:01:00.719
GPU boost which basically lets your graphics card clock itself at whatever

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:05.119
it needs staying with within a certain power and temperature threshold in order

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

00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:14.119
to give you that best performance and that sort of petered out near the end

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

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:23.960
is a GK 104 chip in here and NVIDIA

00:01:21.720 --> 00:01:28.840
hasn't even really cut it down a lot so instead of a 256bit memory interface

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

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:39.119
and the core is still at the same clock

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:41.200
speed as a GTX 670 it's still got two

00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:47.000
gigs of memory because NVIDIA's done some funky rejiggering with the memory

00:01:44.399 --> 00:01:52.240
controller so that they can actually run different density memory chips on

00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:56.039
different um I don't know if I don't know if

00:01:54.600 --> 00:02:00.799
channels is right but whatever they can mix and match the density of the memory

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

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

00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:13.120
this was on I think the 550 TI so uh so

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

00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:22.080
PCI Express 3.0 interface supports as I

00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:27.319
mentioned before three + one displays using DVI HDMI and DisplayPort it's got

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

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

00:02:34.760 --> 00:02:40.080
using an internal exhaust cooler as opposed to an external exhaust cooler uh

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

00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:51.680
meaning this is yes a 60 level card so

00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:53.400
like a 460 560 660 Ti 60 Lev card that

00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:58.080
supports three-way SLI soak that in for a moment it

00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:02.319
supports truly high-end features this custom card from Galaxy has a six pin

00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:06.239
and an 8 Pin power connector which in theory should deliver more power to the

00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:10.959
card if it needs it but it's probably unnecessary given even the GTX 680 uses

00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:15.480
two six pins unless you buy the Galaxy card which does have a beef or power

00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:20.120
delivery system speaking of beef or power delivery system the reference

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

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

00:03:26.200 --> 00:03:31.120
same memory speed with the same amount of memory so it's pretty similar but

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

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:41.280
on so galaxy has not used that shortened PCB they' have done a beefier PCB with

00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:45.920
more vrm components you can sort of see them all here more Cooling and more

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

00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:54.000
these top mounted power connectors so you shouldn't uh shouldn't run into any

00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:57.799
sort of obstructions sticking out power connectors out of the end of your card

00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:01.239
this cooler is actually phenomenally efficient so we compared it I've

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:05.360
actually already opened this card and already tested it and benchmarked it in

00:04:02.920 --> 00:04:09.640
sort of every way but you know whatever um this card this cooler actually is

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:13.920
significantly more efficient than the twin frozer 4 cooler on the MSI power

00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:17.440
Edition card I was really impressed by that it also includes dust removal

00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:21.000
technology which means it spins backwards for a few seconds when you

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

00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:27.479
around and Spins properly forward in order to give you the best cooling

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:32.280
possible speaking of the best cooling possible because almost the entire PC B

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:36.600
surface has fans blowing down on it you have great cooling not only for the GPU

00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:40.600
core itself which has these heat pipes carrying heat away from the core out to

00:04:38.840 --> 00:04:45.000
the outer edges of the fins but also great cooling for your memory vrm

00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:49.000
components and whatever other things you're going to find on the card itself

00:04:47.039 --> 00:04:52.720
this is a pre-overclocked card but you can still push it a little bit further

00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:56.919
so we did manage to overclock this card about another 90 megaherz on the core

00:04:54.919 --> 00:05:01.000
which gave us again even more of a performance boost once you start

00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:05.479
overclocking the 66 TI especially if you can squeeze a little bit more out of the

00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:08.720
memory performance gets amazingly close

00:05:05.479 --> 00:05:10.280
to a GTX 670 now it's been true for

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

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

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

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:32.160
performance by overclocking same for 470 and 480 same for 570 and 580 same for

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:34.680
670 and 680 now we can take a 60 level

00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:39.440
card and actually overclock it to nearly the same performance as a

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

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

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:56.520
card especially given that it's $100 cheaper than a670 and $200 cheaper than

00:05:53.680 --> 00:06:02.600
a 680 supporting all those high-end features supporting I mean low power

00:05:59.080 --> 00:06:04.080
consumption how do you go wrong I guess

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

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:15.280
things with their card which I don't know what they are yet DVI to VGA

00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:17.000
adapter two dual Mo X4 pin two six oh

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

00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:26.840
driver disc download the latest from the NVIDIA website there you go They're

00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:30.199
sending a message um let's just finish up with sort of some closer looks that

00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:34.280
see this is part of why I think this cooler performs so well look how thick

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

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:43.080
either build fans around it or put like

00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:45.960
massive see look in between the two fans they actually build it up a little bit

00:06:44.479 --> 00:06:49.840
more just because they have a little bit more space to throw in aluminum fins so

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

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

00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:02.960
that makes it perform really well I think they've just put a beast amount of

00:06:58.599 --> 00:07:05.599
metal on this card two decent 80mm fans

00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:08.520
and it gets you know cooled really well so thank you for checking out my

00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:12.759
