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

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

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:15.599
what's not unique is that this is a GeForce card EVGA is a GeForce exclusive

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

00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:25.760
other GTX 570 Under the Sun it is also

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

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:36.840
surround in SLI mode which is also not unique direct X11 and fizx are not

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:40.000
unique features and neither is the fact

00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:42.559
that it supports HD resolutions

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:46.800
but these two letters right here indicate what is unique about this card

00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:52.280
I'm not going to spoil the surprise though even though I I just foreshadowed

00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:58.840
it if you guys were paying very very close attention you would have noticed

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:01.640
what exactly I just did foreshadow that

00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:05.479
is unique about it so first of all let's take off the

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:11.200
packaging because that is what I do on this channel I open up all the sexy

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

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:22.119
special about EVGA what's special about EVGA is a couple things warranty EVGA

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:26.640
has one of the most reputable warranties in the graphics card Biz everyone knows

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:29.640
this now bear in mind that uh the warranties do vary based on the part

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

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

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

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

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:54.439
over here most of this is not particularly unique and they've got

00:01:52.079 --> 00:02:00.960
their Precision Tool which is awesome based on uh if you believe it's based on

00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.719
Rivet tuner

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

00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:14.640
forget they have their tradein program so if something new comes out and uh you

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

00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:23.480
wow I'm terrible right now sorry guys but anyway they have a tradein program

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:27.360
as well which is awesome and pretty unique but that's not the thing that's

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:32.400
so special about this card okay here we have a driver disc and a case badge

00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:36.239
so don't use that download the latest from the NVIDIA

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

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:45.959
how to plug in power connectors and how to install a PCIe graphics card very

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:45.959
nice here we have a

00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:55.000
poster okay okay it has a skull on it EVGA

00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:59.200
gaming makes you die visit the

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:03.840
website doesn't make you die it makes other people die

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:06.120
I think that's what they mean all right

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:09.840
foam uh please allow the graphics card to cool for a minimum of 2 minutes after

00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:15.280
operation before removing it from your system okay

00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:18.560
EVGA uh here we've got a dual MOX to

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.840
single PCIe six pin

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:25.760
adapter here we have another WAN Show

00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:29.959
you that again here we have a DVI to VGA

00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:31.439
adapter and here we have the card itself

00:03:29.959 --> 00:03:38.720
I'm going to go ahead and pull that their sticker off

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:42.560
and then I'm going to pull out the card

00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:46.319
and I am finally going to tell you guys

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:48.439
what is unique about this graphics card

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

00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:56.360
be a reference card this looks a lot

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

00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:05.640
there it's got a flower style cooler like the Intel stock heat sink you can

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

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:13.640
entirely external exhaust system here so you can see the vrms are cooled by black

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:18.759
heat sinks and they're going to get some incidental air flow from that their fan

00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:23.000
all right we've got two PCI E6 pin connectors so this is clearly not a

00:04:20.479 --> 00:04:29.320
reference PCB because uh normally on the GTX 570 reference cards the PCIe uh

00:04:26.960 --> 00:04:34.600
Power connectors are up here we do have full support for three-way SLI because

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:37.199
we do have two SLI Bridges up here but

00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:42.520
even the custom cooler and custom PCB are not what is unique about this card

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

00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:54.360
card supports DVI HDMI and DisplayPort

00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:56.880
outputs Isn't that cool so here on the

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

00:04:58.520 --> 00:05:07.199
installed and and you can see that it uses a PCIe

00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:09.440
16x connector to install into your

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:14.240
motherboard and that took a fair amount of Googling around to find the answer

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:19.560
but uh the inevitable question if we've added DisplayPort how many displays can

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

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:28.960
DVI HDMI DVI DisplayPort HDMI display

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

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

00:05:37.400 --> 00:05:45.800
