WEBVTT 00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:09.120 today's unboxing is an exciting one this is the MSI n560 GTX TI twin frozer 2 and 00:00:07.439 --> 00:00:15.679 as you may or may have not have figured out by now this is based on the GeForce 00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:18.400 GTX 560 TI GPU from NVIDIA this is a 1 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:23.000 gig graphics card and it is a very special one because at the time of 00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:28.400 filming this video anyway it looks like the best price to Performance I mean 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:33.399 really high performance gaming graphics card on the market now now NVIDIA has 00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:37.840 actually even brought out the ti designation we haven't seen that for a 00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:45.960 very long time when we saw it on one of nidia's bestselling GeForce series ever 00:00:41.559 --> 00:00:48.879 the GeForce uh 4,000 TI Series so the 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:54.239 4200 TI was the big one back in the day and that was wow direct X8 so we're up 00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:57.879 to directx11 with this GPU we also have support for all of NVIDIA's Technologies 00:00:56.440 --> 00:01:03.719 so let's have a look at them they're all listed up here we've got G Force Cuda 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:08.720 NVIDIA SLI this supports two-way SLI fizx by NVIDIA as well as NVIDIA 3D 00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:13.439 Vision now there's a couple other things on here as well MSI afterburner is uh 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:17.920 has a little badge on the box it's a great little overclocking utility works 00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:21.600 on not only MSI cards but other ones too as well as it being ready for 3D Mark 11 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:27.119 I guess that's one way of saying that it is direct X11 ready 3D Mark 11 is also 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:30.840 included with this card for with a value of 20 bucks so that's kind of cool it 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:35.240 has a three-year warranty in the US Canada and Mexico and let's see what 00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:41.240 else they have to say for them oh right yeah this is a twin frozer 2 card so 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:44.280 what that means is that we have MSI's 00:01:41.240 --> 00:01:46.000 famous twin frozer 2 cooler on this 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:50.360 instead of the stock cooler so I'll show you guys a little comparison against the 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:55.200 stock cooler in a bit so they're saying up to 20° cooler it also features 00:01:52.560 --> 00:02:00.039 military Class 2 so you've got all of MSI's military class there we go it's 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:05.360 finally focused technology included on this board it is a custom PCB board okay 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:09.479 and it is an overclocked card so we've got voltage 00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:12.120 adjustment and let's see what else MSI has to say for themselves so here 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:15.680 they're giving us some more details about their military class concept which 00:02:14.040 --> 00:02:20.400 I think is just great because I found that on Military class cards I've 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:24.640 actually noticed less less squealing because of the higher quality components 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:27.879 that are being used and what MSI also has to say for themselves is that it's 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:32.160 more efficient delivers more current and is going to last longer here's a another 00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:36.959 little plug for MSI afterburner which is my personal favorite and here's some 00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:40.519 media comments about the twin frozer 2 ah here's some more information about 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:44.040 twin frozer 2 as well as a sneak peek of the card which you can't really see 00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:48.680 because of the anti-static bag but direct contact design with the heat 00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:50.879 pipes dual pwm fans okay nickel plated 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:54.360 copper base dual super pipes I'll show you the super pipes so there's actually 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:58.599 four total heat pipes and then two super pipes high density heat sink and here's 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:01.680 a little thermal comparison against the reference cooler although I don't I know 00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:08.560 how relevant that is because I think this box has probably been reused from 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:10.319 the 460 twin frozer so um either way 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:14.200 suffice to say the twin frozer 2 is usually a much better performer than the 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:18.640 stock cooler on pretty much anything all right direct x 11 support okay most of 00:03:16.239 --> 00:03:24.400 this we've covered already uh or we will cover once we get it opened up minimum 00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:28.959 system requirements okay PCIe 16x yep two six pin PCIe power connectors and a 00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:35.120 minimum 500 wat or greater power supply those are probably the most important 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:39.239 bits this is a 1 gig card so it has 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:42.560 1,24 Megs of video memory and let's 00:03:39.239 --> 00:03:45.439 finally yes finally 3 minutes and 40 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:51.040 seconds in get the box opened up all right so first thing as usual for me is 00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:55.079 accessories so Ms siiz boxes I'm used to them now down in the bottom is where we 00:03:53.239 --> 00:03:59.200 find all the accessories so here is our quick users 00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:04.200 guide here is a driver disc don't use this download the latest version ha 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:06.319 download the latest version uh we have a 00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:11.360 DVI to VGA adapter in case you're still using a VGA Monitor and then we also 00:04:08.760 --> 00:04:18.199 have a mini HDMI see if we can get it to focus to 00:04:14.079 --> 00:04:21.239 regular HDMI out adapter here's 3D Mark 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:24.400 11 and just for one lucky viewer I am 00:04:21.239 --> 00:04:27.160 going to give away my copy of 3D Mark 11 00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:35.280 so I'm going to scratch this off and whoever gets this first you are now the 00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:35.280 proud owner of 3D Mark 11 Advanced 00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:44.080 Edition oh hold on that's somewhat obscured there we go all right 00:04:41.479 --> 00:04:48.199 congratulations okay next we have the 560 TI series something about their live 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:52.280 update so you can use that to update your drivers and whatnot and finally we 00:04:50.479 --> 00:04:57.840 have a few more accessories and then we're going to have a look at the sexy 00:04:54.680 --> 00:05:01.160 GTX 560 TI graphics card so two dual 00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:04.240 Molex two PCI six pin power adapters 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:06.199 although as I so frequently say if you 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:12.360 don't have a proper power supply to run this card with a couple PCI E uh with a 00:05:08.840 --> 00:05:15.000 couple PCI E6 pin Powers then you should 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:19.199 probably be looking at a power supply upgrade as well a balanced system is a 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:23.120 happy system all right let's get this 00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:28.720 anti-static bag out of here and I have a 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:30.919 feeling at this time that this card is 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:37.160 going to look very similar to our old friend the GTX 460 Hawk because a little 00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:41.720 bird told me that it might actually be using the same overall PCB layout so 00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:48.240 first thing I'm going to do is compare it to the GTX 460 Hawk side by side or 00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:53.000 rather top to bottom okay so you can see they are both using the same addition of 00:05:50.520 --> 00:05:57.759 the twin frozer 2 heat sink so I'll show you the super pipes here on the bottom 00:05:54.960 --> 00:06:02.720 of the 560 TI you see how two of them the ones that go out further away from 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:07.039 the GPU core which is in the middle are actually thicker than the others so 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:10.280 those are the super pipes the reason they're thicker they carry heat more 00:06:08.479 --> 00:06:14.840 efficiently that way and they have further to go so that's why MSI made the 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:19.240 design decision to make those ones the outermost heat pipes okay so let's have 00:06:17.599 --> 00:06:23.759 a look at the top of the card here you can see some memory chips down there you 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:28.039 can also see some other components you can see the uh the termination ends of 00:06:26.440 --> 00:06:31.599 those heat pipes so there are the fat ones on the on the outside and the 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:36.240 skinny ones on the inside there all right you can see some MSI twin frozer 2 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:40.039 branding on the top of that heat sink let's flip it over and see what the back 00:06:38.599 --> 00:06:44.319 has to say for itself so here I'm going to get this out of my way so that it's 00:06:41.960 --> 00:06:48.360 not uh not here anymore all right let's take off these protective covers which 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:53.400 I've never quite understood I mean it comes pretty well packed I don't think 00:06:51.039 --> 00:07:00.720 that uh you know these are really necessary but they're there one way or 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:04.080 the other so no sense complet about it 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:06.360 so here we will find our SLI Bridge as I 00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:10.720 mentioned before this card supports only two-way SLI otherwise you'd need two 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:15.479 bridges for three-way and four-way SLI you've also got on the back of the card 00:07:13.479 --> 00:07:19.520 uh the location of the GPU you can see where all of the memory is soldered on 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:25.280 you can see where all of the connectors are soldered on you can see that does 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:28.639 use a standard PCI Express 16x 00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:29.960 2.0 data connection and then also on the 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:36.199 back you can see where the power connectors are soldered so let's move around to the back of the card and that 00:07:33.039 --> 00:07:38.680 is where we will find two PCI six pin 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:43.240 power connectors as mentioned before now the wiring of the fans is a little bit 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:48.120 custom because there's one Mount here or rather one plug here and then it's going 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:51.240 to go out here where it splits into two 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:52.960 and then Powers each fan 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:58.199 individually let's have a look at the connectors we've got on the back here so 00:07:55.280 --> 00:08:03.560 we've got our mini HDMI as well as dual DVI you can see the back plate actually 00:08:01.080 --> 00:08:08.879 has some ventilation slots so you can see by the design of the cooler here so 00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:13.520 this has a bit of a there's a bit of a shroud thing going on here so some of 00:08:11.479 --> 00:08:17.639 the exhaust from this fan is going to go out the back of the card but most of it 00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:21.800 is going to go through and then be exhausted out here and down on the 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:27.840 bottom and what that means is that if you are running a twin frozer 2 card you 00:08:24.520 --> 00:08:30.159 will get better GPU temps guaranteed 00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:33.200 versus a stock cooled card but you should make sure you have adequate case 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:38.839 air flow to move that heat out of your case because it's not going to be exhausting it externally so two more 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:46.120 things before we wrap up here I want us to do the quick PCB comparison against 00:08:41.800 --> 00:08:47.560 the GTX 460 Hawk and see if I can notice 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:52.839 any differences so actually we here you guys 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:57.839 can always pause and help me uh well here's one here's one the 460 Hawk has 00:08:55.680 --> 00:09:03.240 the GPU V switches on it okay where whereas the GPU V switches 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:07.519 are actually not present okay because remember this is 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:11.760 not a hawk Edition card even though it appears to be using a hawk PCB oh 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:19.079 there's also there's also another change here this little component is here but 00:09:14.640 --> 00:09:21.640 it's not here now the GTX 560 GPU while 00:09:19.079 --> 00:09:27.519 it is a different GPU than the one powering the GTX 460 it has more pipes 00:09:24.680 --> 00:09:33.519 it is more optimized however it is pin compatible so that's why MSI was able to 00:09:29.760 --> 00:09:36.480 release an aftermarket PCB 560 ti so 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.680 quickly because they were able to pretty much drop it onto the PCB looks like 00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:43.800 they were able to make a couple minor changes see here's another one here 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:50.079 there's one component here when there is not one on the GTX 460 Hawk and uh 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:55.200 that's pretty much all the changes that really pop out to me right now oh yeah 00:09:52.760 --> 00:09:58.920 no here's one so this is on the hawk and this is not 00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:02.680 here interesting I'm no electrical engineer so I can't tell you what all of 00:10:00.800 --> 00:10:09.360 that means but here I'm going to bring my 560 TI back I'm going to put my 460 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:15.160 Hawk away and then I'm going to bring up a regular reference NVIDIA GTX 560 so 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:22.680 how do these guys compare well you can see the reference one has a single 80 mm 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:24.680 fan whereas the hawk has dual 92 mm fans 00:10:22.680 --> 00:10:28.560 the reference one does have an external exhaust design although oh no it's not 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:34.760 external exhaust so it's about half and half so it's probably going to be exhausting a little bit more than the 00:10:31.959 --> 00:10:38.720 twin frozer 2 so you can see there's ventilation here but it's not going to 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.880 be oh it's not going to be exhausting nearly everything not even half and half 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:46.399 cuz you can see there's more ventilation holes here and more in the top so it's 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:50.240 going to be kicking most of the heat out into the case as well twin frozer 2 I 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:55.959 would definitely expect to perform better although I haven't had a chance to test it yet but I will you can see 00:10:53.839 --> 00:11:00.040 that the reference cooler hold on sorry I'm moving it so that I can see better 00:10:57.800 --> 00:11:04.800 the reference cooler looks too three copper heat pipes as well as a flower 00:11:02.800 --> 00:11:11.399 heat snc design kind of like Intel's reference LGA 00:11:07.160 --> 00:11:13.440 1155 heat sink okay the PCB layout is 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:17.680 probably going to be very very different yes it looks very very different already 00:11:16.160 --> 00:11:24.839 maybe not that different pretty different though um versus the hawk PCB 00:11:21.160 --> 00:11:26.920 that the GTX 560 Ti overclocked from MSI 00:11:24.839 --> 00:11:32.160 has borrowed you can see that this PCB is actually slightly longer than the 00:11:28.920 --> 00:11:33.720 hawk PCB that MSI is using and other 00:11:32.160 --> 00:11:37.959 than that I guess that's all the physical comparisons that I wanted to 00:11:36.040 --> 00:11:41.720 make they're both dual slot coolers of course very few performance single Slot 00:11:39.880 --> 00:11:50.320 Cards these days thank you for checking out my unboxing of the GTX 560 TI 1 gig 00:11:47.160 --> 00:11:52.399 overclocked card from MSI one thing I 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:59.800 also should mention before I wrap up here is that this card is overclocked to 00:11:55.720 --> 00:12:03.320 580 MHz on the core that is 00:11:59.800 --> 00:12:06.600 versus or rather 880 MHz on the core 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:11.040 versus 822 on the reference card as well 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:15.680 as 4.2 GHz on the RAM versus about 4 GHz 00:12:11.040 --> 00:12:15.680 on the NVIDIA reference card
