WEBVTT

00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:07.280
so today I'm going to be having a look at a very unique product from EVGA this

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:14.000
is the EVGA GTX 275 Co-op but stay tuned there's more

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:19.800
physics okay so normally EVGA uses their Co-op branding to mean that there are

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:22.880
two gpus but unlike the last time with

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:26.199
the GTX 295 Co-op they are not the same

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:28.359
GPU this card besides including Batman

00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:33.480
Arkham Asylum which is a very cool value ad because it's a pretty sweet game game

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:42.800
that I really enjoyed it has two completely different gpus on it it has

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:46.000
one GTX 275 okay and then it has one GTS

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:48.280
250 for physics so I'm not sure if you

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:55.800
can read that right there so it has a dedicated GTS 260 for physics support

00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:57.680
that means the card in total has 1280

00:00:55.800 --> 00:01:03.640
Megs of RAM on it which is a very strange amount but that's the 896

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:05.920
for the um for the GTX 275 and then the

00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:10.880
rest of it is actually dedicated to the GTS 250 so let's see what we have inside

00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:15.479
here in terms of accessories and whatnot so I'm just going to aim the camera down

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:19.240
kind of like so so you can sort of see what's going on here okay first thing

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:22.880
we've got is a oh wow I'm not going to show you guys that is a graphics card

00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:28.079
installation guide so that should be a guide on how to install your graphics

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:31.280
card it explains PCI Express versus AGP

00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:33.759
how to install your driver d

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:38.560
okay thank you oh oh actually no I saw something in there that was relevant

00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:40.880
where is it ah right nope no not

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:45.880
relevant never mind okay then we have the quick start guide for the GeForce

00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:49.119
GTX 275 Co-op physics I'm guessing they

00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:50.640
are going to explain to you insert the

00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:54.040
graphics card in a PCI if you're only installing one

00:01:52.520 --> 00:01:57.920
GeForce no no there's not really a whole lot going on there either okay next is

00:01:56.240 --> 00:02:00.640
the driver installation CD don't use that throw it away download the latest

00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:05.280
off NVIDIA.com okay this is the Batman

00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:10.039
Arkham Asylum coupon code do not try and read the code I covered it up this time

00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:14.560
that's right someone got my code for uh Everquest 2 off one of my other

00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:18.800
unboxings the killer Zeno Pro but not this time okay so in terms of

00:02:17.519 --> 00:02:23.879
accessories in here we got their little spiff pass through cable ground and

00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:28.360
spiff those are the two connectors that are on it you can't really read that

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:31.319
that's okay then we have a PCI Express

00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:37.720
ah we have two PCI Express six pin to one PCI Express 8 Pin

00:02:33.959 --> 00:02:41.519
adapter then we have a two MOX to one

00:02:37.720 --> 00:02:46.920
PCI Express six pin adapter we've got a

00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:50.720
DVI to VGA adapter we have a sticker to

00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:54.200
uh case adapter a sticker okay then we

00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:55.959
have a DVI to HDMI adapter that pretty

00:02:54.200 --> 00:02:59.440
much does it in terms of accessories then we have a cool little EVGA cutout

00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:03.840
thing it's like the shape of a card I really like this I don't know why and

00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:08.480
then we have the card itself this is a big card actually I was not really

00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:14.560
expecting this and I can't explain why because I should have expected it

00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:16.720
because this card has two gpus on it so

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:22.440
it's not exactly Ro rocket science that it would be a little bit on the big side

00:03:18.799 --> 00:03:25.799
okay so wow that is a heck of a fan so

00:03:22.440 --> 00:03:27.959
why don't we start with the wow where do

00:03:25.799 --> 00:03:33.319
you start on a card like this okay why don't we start on the front that is The

00:03:30.040 --> 00:03:35.920
Joker okay and that is a padded wall

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:40.760
that the Joker presumably resides inside this is about an 80 mil looking fan that

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:44.080
has a very aggressive shape to the blades here so you can see that it's

00:03:42.200 --> 00:03:47.879
designed for static pressure they're really going to work hard to push air

00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:52.720
through those fins inside there I'm not really sure if you're going to be able to see that but H that's okay yeah there

00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:57.480
you go you can kind of see through the fins there and then there is also a fin

00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:01.200
structure on the other side for the other V GPU which you are not going to

00:03:59.959 --> 00:04:08.079
be able to see through for sure because it lines up with these slots and it's just one more obstruction okay so up at

00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:12.519
the top we have two SLI connectors so that means you can run it with another

00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:16.440
275 in SLI and then use your dedicated GTS 250 for physics presumably if

00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:20.320
someone corrects me then I will be wrong and they will be right okay up at the

00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:25.720
top it's got our little branding sticker here with your GTX 275 Coop physics you

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:31.600
got one8 pin and one six pin power connector so that is more than a normal

00:04:28.039 --> 00:04:33.440
275 would have on the back you can

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:38.759
clearly see where the two gpus are located there is one right oh where are

00:04:36.919 --> 00:04:42.639
they it looks like there's one right here and one right here and this one has

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:46.440
a heat pipe coming off of it so I'm going to guess that's the 275 and this

00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:49.919
one I'm kind of guessing there's one based on all the traces that are there

00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:55.160
and based on the fact that I can kind of see it here would be the 250 this is

00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:58.840
presumably covering some memory for the 250 but I'm I'm again totally guessing

00:04:57.320 --> 00:05:02.360
here let's have a look at the back where we have two DV

00:05:00.440 --> 00:05:07.680
uh connectors and then we have a slot for the uh case air to be exhausted out

00:05:05.400 --> 00:05:13.120
once it's cooled off the GPU at the back this is a standard PCI Express 16x slot

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:17.320
so you don't need any kind of special SLI motherboard or any kind of special

00:05:15.479 --> 00:05:22.759
features in your computer other than a PCI Express 16x slot in order to support

00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.479
this card at the back here you can see more cooling fins oh that would have

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:31.759
been a way better way to show you that so you can see right through the card there and that is where the cooling air

00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:34.759
from this GPU is going to go now I'm going to assume there's some kind of

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:40.360
heat pipe it's really hard to sort of see anything on this card because it shrouded so well but I think that pretty

00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:43.960
much concludes it the main point is that Batman Arkham Asylum the game that comes

00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:48.560
with it takes advantage of physics really well I've actually got a couple

00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:50.560
GTX 260s in my own PC and using the

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:54.080
physics versus not using physics made a huge difference to my game performance

00:05:52.440 --> 00:06:00.840
thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the GTX 275 Co-op

00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:00.840
Edition
