Oh alright guys so I've switched back to wearing pants in my videos due to popular demand I read your guys's comments they're all very brutally honest and truthful which I appreciate 100% because without your guys opinions I would have no guidance or direction on what to do for this channel so thank you but let's move on to business shall we today I've got an asus directs you to GTX 670 to unbox so let's get down to it alright guys I've taken a look at the front of the box here we can that we see a picture of the direct cu2 cooler it's 20% cooler and vastly quieter than the reference design blower style fan and I can definitely attest to that this is a very quiet card and it stays extremely cool even under full load while gaming they've gone with the digi+ vrm design using super alloy power so alder Bianca poetry is si P or super L alloy power and that's basically what they did was they completely replaced all the reference componentry vrm wise of the reference card and replaced it with Si P and that's basically an allow for more consistent power delivery and what that means is well when the video card guides you know it's constantly going from hot to cold hot to cold and that fluctuation of temperature basically decreases the lifespan of your card over time so with a more consistent power delivery you're gonna basically expand the life the lifespan of your card so ACS is a good job to ensure that you are gonna hold on to this sucker for as long as you possibly can also included is GPU tweak that's ACS's monitoring system and real time tweaking so you can basically do real-time overclocking from your OS with GPU tweak comes with two gigs of DDR 5 memory and this is a clocked at six thousand eight megahertz and it is a 256-bit memory interface it's PCIe gen3 so that's double the bandwidth that you get from PCI agent 2 or 2.1 and on the back here basically a lot of the stuff I already went over the super alloy power component tree GPU tweak by the way guys this card does have a base clock of 915 megahertz and a boost clock of 980 megahertz but if you guys are aware of invidious GPU boost you know that depending on the thermal conditions you can actually get a much higher boost clock than what the manufacturers stated on the box so I've actually seen in my personal experience this card get over 1 gigahertz when I'm gaming and that's pretty awesome alright so take a look inside here you've got a box within a box I've got some documentation here nice foam packaging as if you had this card chips or going to have a chipped rest assure that oh your hardware inside is gonna be safe protected yeah inside give some accessories this is a molex double molex to PCIe connector so if your power supply is run out unfortunately of PCIe connectors you can always power up your card with a molex connector but there's only one I believe this card has two 6-pin PCI Express connectors so you're gonna need another one of these if you were completely out of PCIe connectors on your power supply but they've included one for you all right there and then we've also got speed setup Quick Start Guide let's speed setup but it's a lot of pages here colored diagrams though full-color look at that oh it's it's thick because there's multiple languages so that's useful that's pretty much it oh you know what I actually there's another accessory in here that should have been in that thin box and here is your GPU tweak and driver CD like I said I always throw that away and go to the website get the latest drivers and here take that yet have a look that's how it comes i repackage this because this is my personal card by the way that I use at home in my personal rig for mainly for gaming and video editing so I kind of repackaged it it doesn't look this crappy when you get it so I don't worry about that this is just me doing a careful job of boxing hey I'm a nun boxer guys I'm not I didn't say I was a boxer so don't hold me accountable here's the card itself look at how beautiful it is it's nice right good get a nice close-up look alright so here we've got two eighty eighty millimeter fans and they're right above the fit assembly so you've got a big heat sink underneath there and it's basically just gonna disperse all the heat that's being sucked up through the copper piping here and drawn away from the core of your GPU and speaking of the piping we've got 3d pipes let's take a look at it like this we've got three copper pipes here and there they're completely copper but they look silver because they're actually nickel-plated and that basically just helps to minimize oxidation but if I were to take this card apart and dissect it you would actually see that the part of the copper piping that's touching the GPU is actually not nickel plated it's it's it's actually just the raw copper material and that's just to help with thermal conductivity it's more conductive that way and it's going to help you disperse more heat from your GPU moving on we've got just another look at the shroud there it's a nice shroud it's a very open shroud so youryour airflow is going to be just dispersed through all sides of this card and a little bit out the back there's some ventilation there you've got your PCIe connector there and you've also got your SLI fingers you've got two sli fingers here feel free to SLI this card all you want yeah and taking a look at the rear i/o you've got a two DVI to DVI ports right there you've also got a DisplayPort and HDMI out and you can do up to four displays simultaneously with this card guys so you can actually gain with three if you want to do like a triple monitor Nvidia surround vision surround you can do that and you could have a fourth companion monitor where you have like your VoIP or your you know web browsing or whatever else you want but four monitors simultaneously guys with one card that's pretty impressive aside from that we can go to the back here excuse has included a very nice sleek looking back play on this card and it's a it's got the AC sled go there and GeForce GTX 670 easily identifiable from the outside of your case especially if you have like a side case window side panel window and there's only four screws to undo it if you want to do like water cooling or something there's two here two there you just unscrew those and the whole backplate pops off and this right here this is just like some this is a poss cap these are your poss caps capacitors and it's as you can see it's located directly behind the GPU itself and it's gonna allow for immediate power delivery a lot of competitors have their post caps located far away from the GPU and it actually takes a longer time to deliver that power when it when it's actually needed right away so they call that back-to-back configuration I believe is what they call it so that's pretty cool it's cool stuff and this is basically a brushed aluminum finish by the way this entire backplate and it's also supposed to aid in card sag GPU sag so when you actually mount it in your case it doesn't sag to one end I own this card like I said and I can't really say it completely corrects the issue my card still sags a little bit but not terribly much it's just because it's kind of a heavy car it's got a lot of metal in its sturdy construction but it definitely doesn't make the card look a lot nicer when it's in your case oh and I almost forgot to point out there's your two 6-pin PCI II connectors right there powering the card and I think the the max power consumption that you you draw from this card is about 225 watts give or take so a very very power efficient card the GK 104 is the name of the actual GPU that this card is running very impressive stuff one last thing guys really quick I wanted to show you what the card looks like inside of my case this is a 600 T it's a pretty big mid Tower especially for a mid tower case it's pretty huge and there's a cat in the way come on boy let go all right but yeah it's I forgot to mention also the card is about ten and a half inches so keep that in mind when picking apart this part out for your build that's the card you're gonna go for make sure it fits Jesus freaking cats man but there you have it I don't know if you can really tell she'd probably try to put this on like a tripod but there's a little bit of a sag right there as I mentioned earlier it's very slight though guys it's it's nothing to be alarmed of it doesn't affect performance at all so you shouldn't mind it alright guys well that's going to do it for this video that's all I have to say about the Asus direct cu2 GTX 670 GPU and if you guys enjoyed this video like share with your friends if they're interested in getting the video card and this is Ron the price range I highly recommend it this is my own personal card and I absolutely loved it every single every single second abusing it so I thank you all for watching subscribe if you haven't already I'll see you guys in the next video
