all right today we're going to be doing an unboxing of an EVGA video card that
is unique so first I'm going to tell you all of the things that are not unique
what's not unique is that this is a GeForce card EVGA is a GeForce exclusive
vendor what's not unique is that this is a 1.28 gab gddr5 card just like every
other GTX 570 Under the Sun it is also
not unique that it is a GTX 570 it is not unique that it supports 3D Vision
surround in SLI mode which is also not unique direct X11 and fizx are not
unique features and neither is the fact
that it supports HD resolutions
but these two letters right here indicate what is unique about this card
I'm not going to spoil the surprise though even though I I just foreshadowed
it if you guys were paying very very close attention you would have noticed
what exactly I just did foreshadow that
is unique about it so first of all let's take off the
packaging because that is what I do on this channel I open up all the sexy
computer products so that you guys can see them okay so let's talk about what's
special about EVGA what's special about EVGA is a couple things warranty EVGA
has one of the most reputable warranties in the graphics card Biz everyone knows
this now bear in mind that uh the warranties do vary based on the part
number so I don't believe this one has a life time warranty but some products do
okay this is a KR suffix product you can see that right there so um yeah I'm not
sure what the warranty is on this card but you can always look it up find out
what KR means by going on their site EVGA has 247 support u a bunch of stuff
over here most of this is not particularly unique and they've got
their Precision Tool which is awesome based on uh if you believe it's based on
Rivet tuner
okay and I believe it also actually works on non EVGA cards as well uh don't
forget they have their tradein program so if something new comes out and uh you
don't like it anymore and you're still within a I forget how many days it is
wow I'm terrible right now sorry guys but anyway they have a tradein program
as well which is awesome and pretty unique but that's not the thing that's
so special about this card okay here we have a driver disc and a case badge
so don't use that download the latest from the NVIDIA
website okay we have a quick start guide for a GTX 580 and 57 probably shows us
how to plug in power connectors and how to install a PCIe graphics card very
nice here we have a
poster okay okay it has a skull on it EVGA
gaming makes you die visit the
website doesn't make you die it makes other people die
I think that's what they mean all right
foam uh please allow the graphics card to cool for a minimum of 2 minutes after
operation before removing it from your system okay
EVGA uh here we've got a dual MOX to
single PCIe six pin
adapter here we have another WAN Show
you that again here we have a DVI to VGA
adapter and here we have the card itself
I'm going to go ahead and pull that their sticker off
and then I'm going to pull out the card
and I am finally going to tell you guys
what is unique about this graphics card
so the first thing I'll actually notice about it is that this does not appear to
be a reference card this looks a lot
closer to a GTX 560 in terms of the cooler design uh a few heat pipes down
there it's got a flower style cooler like the Intel stock heat sink you can
see that there when I spin the fan okay now it appears that we are not using an
entirely external exhaust system here so you can see the vrms are cooled by black
heat sinks and they're going to get some incidental air flow from that their fan
all right we've got two PCI E6 pin connectors so this is clearly not a
reference PCB because uh normally on the GTX 570 reference cards the PCIe uh
Power connectors are up here we do have full support for three-way SLI because
we do have two SLI Bridges up here but
even the custom cooler and custom PCB are not what is unique about this card
what is so unique is this I'm going to give it away now DisplayPort so this
card supports DVI HDMI and DisplayPort
outputs Isn't that cool so here on the
back you can see where the GPU is you can see where all the RAM chips are
installed and and you can see that it uses a PCIe
16x connector to install into your
motherboard and that took a fair amount of Googling around to find the answer
but uh the inevitable question if we've added DisplayPort how many displays can
we output at one time the answer is still two so you can either use dual DVI
DVI HDMI DVI DisplayPort HDMI display
port but not all four and not even three of them at the the same time so there
you go and I think that is pretty much everything I wanted to say about the GTX
570 HD thank you for watching lus Tech
