welcome to my unboxing of the Zotac GTX
0:03
560 TI which obviously you've seen
0:07
before 560ti not a new product by oh
0:10
wait hold on a minute let me just get the plastic off here so that it's not as
0:14
glossy and reflective Slick's always given me a hard time about using
0:20
reflective surfaces to reflect light and
0:23
make the camera not focus which then he gets blamed for by the YouTube viewer so
0:29
limited edition GTX 560ti with 448 cores
0:33
so this is significantly more cor than a regular 560 TI it also has more memory
0:39
than a 560 ti so this is interesting a 320 bit memory interface with 1280 Megs
0:44
of gddr5 memory that is starting to look an awful lot like a GTX 570 in terms of
0:51
the actual spec now a GTX 570 is also
0:55
clocked around this 700 and some odd so
0:59
uh course speed also clocked around this memory speed so this is starting to look
1:04
an awful lot like a very similar card to a GTX 570 it also uses a GF 110 core
1:12
rather similarly to the GTX 570 so we've
1:16
got a Zotac sticker Zotac graphics card drivers we have some Zotac GeForce
1:22
accelerated software that you can get some deals on downloading we have a
1:26
Zotac extended warranty and quick installation guide so
1:32
please register for your extended warranty on zac.rj
2:00
nothing on the back three times the performance of previous generation crank
2:04
up the gaming realism okay uh what do we
2:07
got here NVIDIA 3D Vision blah blah blah okay yeah this is all good stuff it also
2:12
supports uh you know what we'll get to that when we get inside huh interesting
2:18
okay you know what here let's look at this again so United States Canada Latin
2:24
America oh they veryy please refer to your Regional Zotac website for details
2:29
cuz yeah I'm pretty sure this one's to here although correct me if I'm wrong
2:32
here guys we've got a user's manual we've got a couple accessories this is a
2:36
very small box so don't expect you know a huge card or too many accessories we
2:41
got a DVI to VGA adapter and a couple Molex to PCIe power adapters and then
2:46
Zotac cards are always so Sleek looking
2:49
I love the way their cards look and this one is no exception we've got a great
2:55
little orange mesh and black shroud
2:58
theme thing going going on here we have a center mounted fan so this is
3:03
something we're pretty used to seeing on GTX 560 TI but I'm going to show you a
3:08
few things that we are not used to seeing on GTX 560 ti so first we've
3:12
started on the top here we've got our standard PCI Express 16x power slot
3:18
power slot PCI Express slot we've got a matte black PCB which I was not aware of
3:23
until now we've got oh that looks so
3:26
good look at this all black components
3:30
with just a few different like white or
3:33
silver accents on a matte black PCB with
3:36
orange accents on the front oh yeah Chrome Zotac logo this
3:42
thing is going to look so good so good in your system and check this out you've
3:46
also got yes support for three-way SLI
3:49
so that is something we are definitely not accustomed to seeing on a gtx560 TI
3:54
so what is this thing basically as far far as I can tell
4:01
it is pretty much a GTX 570 in GTX 560 TI clothing although I
4:09
haven't benchmarked the card yet this is my unboxing I'm opening it now but what
4:13
I'm going to do is either on this channel or on my ncixcom channel I'm
4:17
going to spend a little bit of time and I'm going to Benchmark it and at least a
4:20
couple games against the GTX 570 to find
4:24
out how the two compare in terms of performance the price is pretty similar
4:28
so I expect them to be fairly similar in terms of performance in terms of cooling
4:32
we've got three heat pipes down there can can you see that okay from that
4:36
angle yeah you got that so three heat pipes coming out in kind of a flower a
4:41
flower cooling Arrangement you can actually see the top heat pipe here
4:45
which is making contact with large heat sink fins you can see in from this side
4:49
what they look like on the back we've also got nice big a nice big heat sink
4:54
on the vrm as well as our two six pin PCIe power adapt connectors and and then
4:59
on the top we've pretty much shown you guys that already what do we got for Io
5:04
we have two DVI ports HDMI and display
5:08
ports so Zotac has opted to give you lots of options not just the usual 500
5:14
series DVI DVI mini HDMI note we've got a fullsize HDMI as well as a display
5:20
port output on this Zotac card so based on the overall cooler design the PCB
5:25
design I'm expecting this to be a fairly quiet card just because most of the 500
5:30
series cards are quite quiet but until I
5:33
actually get it on the bench I won't have a totally clear idea but I think
5:38
that pretty much covers it so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the
5:42
limited edition Zotac GTX 560 TI 448
