00:00:07,439 --> 00:00:14,000
welcome to my unboxing of the Sapphire Radeon HT

2
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:19,720
7770 overclocked gigahertz Edition with their Vapor X Vapor chamber cooler it

3
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:26,560
comes with an HDMI high-speed extension cable it has 1 gig of gddr3 memory and

4
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,560
it has also one

5
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:33,000
gigahertz one gigz edition so that means the GPU core is actually clocked at 1

6
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:38,600
GHz or more so that's how they're able to use the AMD branding dual fan cool

7
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:41,760
and quiet PCI Express 3.0 display P 1.2

8
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,640
HDMI AMD app acceleration AMD ifinity

9
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:48,600
2.0 which is basically more flexible software more options for ifinity and

10
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:53,120
this uses the latest 28 nanometer manufacturing process that is the latest

11
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:58,760
we've seen on gpus Intel is doing 22 nanometer on CPUs already which is

12
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,600
craziness gddr5 memory I2 okay AMD

13
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:05,239
Crossfire X is fully supported up to two-way Crossfire x uh Microsoft

14
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:12,520
directx11 it better be at this point in time and it supports AMD hd3d technology

15
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:15,080
even over HDMI um meaning you can either

16
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:20,159
watch your movies or play your games in 3D with this graphics card as long as

17
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:26,680
you have the uh a supported display as well as the um compatible

18
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:30,200
middleware so unfortunately AMD graphics

19
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,920
cards don't have a sort of cookie cut

20
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:36,680
solution like 3D Vision so you have to use the

21
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:41,799
um one of a couple different available middle Wares and then a compatible

22
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:45,799
display so bundled accessories HDMI

23
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:49,399
cable very cool we also have a Molex to

24
00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:50,799
PCIe six pin adapter these are handy

25
00:01:49,399 --> 00:01:58,079
even if your graphics card comes with one of these and you don't need it you might as well just hold on to that for

26
00:01:54,119 --> 00:02:00,039
future use we have a DVI to VGA adapter

27
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:03,520
okay because this is more of a mid-range gaming card I'm not going to give you

28
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:08,479
guys too hard of a time if you have a VGA monitor still okay driver

29
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:13,200
installation CD Sapphire graphics card quick installation guide Sapphire

30
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:16,920
product registration okay cool oh and you can even join their gold membership

31
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:21,160
club it's uh there's a code on the back of your product registration card there

32
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:26,319
are benefits no looks giving me a funny look no there are benefits they do like

33
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:29,040
giveaways and stuff oh it's cool okay so

34
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:33,920
let's go ahead and take the plastic wrap off where we will find the Vapor X

35
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,640
cooler so what is the key difference between vapor chamber and heat pipe you

36
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:42,200
can see there's heat pipes too which is sort of fascinating are they Vapor

37
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,040
Chambers they look like heat pipes give me a

38
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:49,480
second and we figured it out so this piece down here at the very bottom is a

39
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:53,879
vapor chamber so that spreads the heat out to the fins and these heat pipes

40
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:59,080
right above the vapor chamber actually carry heat out to the far extremities of

41
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,840
the cooler where it can be carried away by the fan so the heat the The Vapor

42
00:03:01,239 --> 00:03:06,760
chamber takes care of sort of this area with the heat pipes pulling heat away to

43
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:10,959
these areas here that should give this actually very effective coverage in

44
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,200
terms of cooling because they're using two different Technologies to move the

45
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:19,440
heat away from the GPU core itself which is located here out to the far reaches

46
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,200
of the cooler because you can have as big a cooler as you want and if you

47
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:27,480
don't have an efficient way to move the heat to the far-reaching fins then

48
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:32,080
basically all the Heat's been removed by the time it actually can can get over

49
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:36,599
there and this is just doing nothing at the outsides of the fan so um yeah

50
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:42,080
that's pretty much our look at the cooler actually this is a very large cooler so the fins go all the way from

51
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:45,159
over here to all the way over here and you can see the thickness is actually

52
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:51,840
there you go there you you can have a look at this thickness under the Shroud here so this is a pretty short card it

53
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,959
uses the old style placement for the PCI Express connector which is fine because

54
00:03:53,799 --> 00:04:01,159
since it's a short card you shouldn't have too much interference in terms of hard drive Bays or anything like that

55
00:03:58,079 --> 00:04:04,920
uses dual 80 mm fans for cooling as well

56
00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:07,159
as there's our PCI Express 3.01 16x slot

57
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:12,400
and then up to four displays no problem 2 DVI a full-size DisplayPort and then

58
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:16,680
HDMI so you can do up to actually it looks like you're going to do up to

59
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:19,160
three with this guy 1 two 3 or 1 two 3

60
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:24,160
or 1 two three so you can do up to Triple monitor no big deal there's the

61
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:29,160
single Crossfire connector so that is up to two-way Crossfire on this particular

62
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:33,000
card and I think that pretty much wraps it up for the unboxing portion of this

63
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,360
particular video we are going to be doing a follow-up though on the ncixcom

64
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:43,680
channel where we take a look at its performance as well as its quietness and

65
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:48,600
coolness which I'm expecting both of which to be very very impressive because

66
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,960
if I compare to if I compare reference Cards Against Sapphire's other

67
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:56,039
aftermarket cooler cards using their dual x cooler I wish I could find one

68
00:04:54,759 --> 00:05:02,840
right now I'm sure there's one around here somewhere aha

69
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:08,360
this one and this one we did some testing comparing these

70
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:12,759
for reference cards and they just absolutely destroy them and so it's a

71
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:16,919
similar kind of design with the heat pipes and the Dual fans and the whatnot

72
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:22,240
