00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:06,560
all right today we're going to be doing an unboxing of an EVGA video card that

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:10,599
is unique so first I'm going to tell you all of the things that are not unique

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:15,599
what's not unique is that this is a GeForce card EVGA is a GeForce exclusive

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:22,880
vendor what's not unique is that this is a 1.28 gab gddr5 card just like every

5
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:25,760
other GTX 570 Under the Sun it is also

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:30,720
not unique that it is a GTX 570 it is not unique that it supports 3D Vision

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:36,840
surround in SLI mode which is also not unique direct X11 and fizx are not

8
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:40,000
unique features and neither is the fact

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:42,559
that it supports HD resolutions

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,800
but these two letters right here indicate what is unique about this card

11
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:52,280
I'm not going to spoil the surprise though even though I I just foreshadowed

12
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:58,840
it if you guys were paying very very close attention you would have noticed

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,640
what exactly I just did foreshadow that

14
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:05,479
is unique about it so first of all let's take off the

15
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:11,200
packaging because that is what I do on this channel I open up all the sexy

16
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:15,640
computer products so that you guys can see them okay so let's talk about what's

17
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:22,119
special about EVGA what's special about EVGA is a couple things warranty EVGA

18
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,640
has one of the most reputable warranties in the graphics card Biz everyone knows

19
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,640
this now bear in mind that uh the warranties do vary based on the part

20
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:35,720
number so I don't believe this one has a life time warranty but some products do

21
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:40,360
okay this is a KR suffix product you can see that right there so um yeah I'm not

22
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,680
sure what the warranty is on this card but you can always look it up find out

23
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:49,159
what KR means by going on their site EVGA has 247 support u a bunch of stuff

24
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:54,439
over here most of this is not particularly unique and they've got

25
00:01:52,079 --> 00:02:00,960
their Precision Tool which is awesome based on uh if you believe it's based on

26
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,719
Rivet tuner

27
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:09,520
okay and I believe it also actually works on non EVGA cards as well uh don't

28
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:14,640
forget they have their tradein program so if something new comes out and uh you

29
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:19,800
don't like it anymore and you're still within a I forget how many days it is

30
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:23,480
wow I'm terrible right now sorry guys but anyway they have a tradein program

31
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:27,360
as well which is awesome and pretty unique but that's not the thing that's

32
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:32,400
so special about this card okay here we have a driver disc and a case badge

33
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:36,239
so don't use that download the latest from the NVIDIA

34
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:40,159
website okay we have a quick start guide for a GTX 580 and 57 probably shows us

35
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:45,959
how to plug in power connectors and how to install a PCIe graphics card very

36
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:45,959
nice here we have a

37
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:55,000
poster okay okay it has a skull on it EVGA

38
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:59,200
gaming makes you die visit the

39
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:03,840
website doesn't make you die it makes other people die

40
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,120
I think that's what they mean all right

41
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:09,840
foam uh please allow the graphics card to cool for a minimum of 2 minutes after

42
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:15,280
operation before removing it from your system okay

43
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:18,560
EVGA uh here we've got a dual MOX to

44
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:21,840
single PCIe six pin

45
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:25,760
adapter here we have another WAN Show

46
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:29,959
you that again here we have a DVI to VGA

47
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:31,439
adapter and here we have the card itself

48
00:03:29,959 --> 00:03:38,720
I'm going to go ahead and pull that their sticker off

49
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:42,560
and then I'm going to pull out the card

50
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:46,319
and I am finally going to tell you guys

51
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,439
what is unique about this graphics card

52
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:53,560
so the first thing I'll actually notice about it is that this does not appear to

53
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,360
be a reference card this looks a lot

54
00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:01,439
closer to a GTX 560 in terms of the cooler design uh a few heat pipes down

55
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:05,640
there it's got a flower style cooler like the Intel stock heat sink you can

56
00:04:03,079 --> 00:04:10,120
see that there when I spin the fan okay now it appears that we are not using an

57
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:13,640
entirely external exhaust system here so you can see the vrms are cooled by black

58
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,759
heat sinks and they're going to get some incidental air flow from that their fan

59
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:23,000
all right we've got two PCI E6 pin connectors so this is clearly not a

60
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:29,320
reference PCB because uh normally on the GTX 570 reference cards the PCIe uh

61
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:34,600
Power connectors are up here we do have full support for three-way SLI because

62
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:37,199
we do have two SLI Bridges up here but

63
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:42,520
even the custom cooler and custom PCB are not what is unique about this card

64
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:50,759
what is so unique is this I'm going to give it away now DisplayPort so this

65
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:54,360
card supports DVI HDMI and DisplayPort

66
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:56,880
outputs Isn't that cool so here on the

67
00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:01,080
back you can see where the GPU is you can see where all the RAM chips are

68
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:07,199
installed and and you can see that it uses a PCIe

69
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,440
16x connector to install into your

70
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:14,240
motherboard and that took a fair amount of Googling around to find the answer

71
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:19,560
but uh the inevitable question if we've added DisplayPort how many displays can

72
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:26,160
we output at one time the answer is still two so you can either use dual DVI

73
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:28,960
DVI HDMI DVI DisplayPort HDMI display

74
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:35,280
port but not all four and not even three of them at the the same time so there

75
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:41,240
you go and I think that is pretty much everything I wanted to say about the GTX

76
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:45,800
570 HD thank you for watching lus Tech
