00:00:07.439 --> 00:00:14.000
welcome to my unboxing of the Sapphire Radeon HT

00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:19.720
7770 overclocked gigahertz Edition with their Vapor X Vapor chamber cooler it

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:26.560
comes with an HDMI high-speed extension cable it has 1 gig of gddr3 memory and

00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:26.560
it has also one

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:33.000
gigahertz one gigz edition so that means the GPU core is actually clocked at 1

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

00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:41.760
and quiet PCI Express 3.0 display P 1.2

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:43.640
HDMI AMD app acceleration AMD ifinity

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:48.600
2.0 which is basically more flexible software more options for ifinity and

00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:53.120
this uses the latest 28 nanometer manufacturing process that is the latest

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:58.760
we've seen on gpus Intel is doing 22 nanometer on CPUs already which is

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:00.600
craziness gddr5 memory I2 okay AMD

00:00:58.760 --> 00:01:05.239
Crossfire X is fully supported up to two-way Crossfire x uh Microsoft

00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:12.520
directx11 it better be at this point in time and it supports AMD hd3d technology

00:01:08.360 --> 00:01:15.080
even over HDMI um meaning you can either

00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:20.159
watch your movies or play your games in 3D with this graphics card as long as

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:26.680
you have the uh a supported display as well as the um compatible

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:30.200
middleware so unfortunately AMD graphics

00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:32.920
cards don't have a sort of cookie cut

00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:36.680
solution like 3D Vision so you have to use the

00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:41.799
um one of a couple different available middle Wares and then a compatible

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:45.799
display so bundled accessories HDMI

00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:49.399
cable very cool we also have a Molex to

00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:50.799
PCIe six pin adapter these are handy

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

00:01:54.119 --> 00:02:00.039
future use we have a DVI to VGA adapter

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

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:08.479
guys too hard of a time if you have a VGA monitor still okay driver

00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:13.200
installation CD Sapphire graphics card quick installation guide Sapphire

00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:16.920
product registration okay cool oh and you can even join their gold membership

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

00:02:19.239 --> 00:02:26.319
are benefits no looks giving me a funny look no there are benefits they do like

00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:29.040
giveaways and stuff oh it's cool okay so

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

00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:37.640
cooler so what is the key difference between vapor chamber and heat pipe you

00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:42.200
can see there's heat pipes too which is sort of fascinating are they Vapor

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:46.040
Chambers they look like heat pipes give me a

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

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:53.879
vapor chamber so that spreads the heat out to the fins and these heat pipes

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:59.080
right above the vapor chamber actually carry heat out to the far extremities of

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

00:03:01.239 --> 00:03:06.760
chamber takes care of sort of this area with the heat pipes pulling heat away to

00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:10.959
these areas here that should give this actually very effective coverage in

00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:15.200
terms of cooling because they're using two different Technologies to move the

00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:19.440
heat away from the GPU core itself which is located here out to the far reaches

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

00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:27.480
don't have an efficient way to move the heat to the far-reaching fins then

00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:32.080
basically all the Heat's been removed by the time it actually can can get over

00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:36.599
there and this is just doing nothing at the outsides of the fan so um yeah

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

00:03:39.640 --> 00:03:45.159
over here to all the way over here and you can see the thickness is actually

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

00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:54.959
uses the old style placement for the PCI Express connector which is fine because

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

00:03:58.079 --> 00:04:04.920
uses dual 80 mm fans for cooling as well

00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:07.159
as there's our PCI Express 3.01 16x slot

00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:12.400
and then up to four displays no problem 2 DVI a full-size DisplayPort and then

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

00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:19.160
three with this guy 1 two 3 or 1 two 3

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

00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:29.160
single Crossfire connector so that is up to two-way Crossfire on this particular

00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:33.000
card and I think that pretty much wraps it up for the unboxing portion of this

00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:36.360
particular video we are going to be doing a follow-up though on the ncixcom

00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:43.680
channel where we take a look at its performance as well as its quietness and

00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:48.600
coolness which I'm expecting both of which to be very very impressive because

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:51.960
if I compare to if I compare reference Cards Against Sapphire's other

00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:56.039
aftermarket cooler cards using their dual x cooler I wish I could find one

00:04:54.759 --> 00:05:02.840
right now I'm sure there's one around here somewhere aha

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:08.360
this one and this one we did some testing comparing these

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:12.759
for reference cards and they just absolutely destroy them and so it's a

00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:16.919
similar kind of design with the heat pipes and the Dual fans and the whatnot

00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:22.240
