how's young guys Kyle here with awesomesauce news here to bring you another wonderful overview of this video card from galaxy this is their gtx 770 hall of fame edition and what's really cool about it aside from some of the tweaked up features and specifications that they've amped up on this guy is that it's all white it's it speared it retains its innocence in the video card Kingdom and it's just it looks like a it's a badass looking card it's what it is so I'm gonna show you a little bit of that closer up in just a bit but first let's just get right down to the meat of this card so it does feature the GK 104 GPU which we are all pretty familiar with I would assume it does feature a lot of these same supportive technologies that you get on the reference design including GPU boost 2.0 as with any card in the 700 series from Nvidia you also get 3d vision surround CUDA DirectX 11 physics TxAA adaptive vsync VFX AAA and it is also it also does support SLI so you can go to or 3-way SLI with this card and it is also shield ready so if you guys happen to pick up Nvidia shield in the past couple months you can rest assure that you can directly stream any games or media from your PC directly to that Android device now there are definitely some specs here that set this card apart from the reference gtx 770 so i'm going to go over those specs first and then i'll follow with all the specs that do fall in line with the reference design so the first off right off the bat but probably the most obvious difference between this card and the reference is the cooler and the cooler is just wicked looking it just it's one of the coolest looking coolers i've ever seen and I said cooler twice in different ways but I'm gonna take a closer look at that in just a bit so the other spec that I didn't want to point out that is very different from the reference design is the base and boost clock of this card galaxy has definitely cranked it up on this one I think I remember the reference base and boost clock for the well the reference design of course is 1046 megahertz for the base and 1085 megahertz for the boost clock now Galaxy has said screw that we're gonna push this guy as far as it can go well almost as far as it can go and they cranked it up about 15% as far as the base clock goes it's now running at 1200 and 2 megahertz right out of the box and it has a boost clock of twelve hundred and fifty four that is a massive increase and I'm pretty sure you can push that even further if you wanted to go in there and manually tweak it so that's that's that's pretty badass that definitely makes this card a bit of a powerhouse over the standard reference design also differentiating from the reference card is the the actual physical size of it so we went from 10.5 but the reference to eleven point seven inches with this with this design and that is significantly larger I would say because it's you're almost hitting 12 inches there you want to definitely make sure that your chassis has enough room in it comfortably to fit this card so make sure that you check that out before you pull the trigger on this guy and you also get a different specification as far as power connectivity so PCIe power connectors we've got two eight pins on this guy as opposed to one eight pin and one six pin on the reference design but keep in mind that also means about 75 well exactly 75 watts more power to your card and that basically breaks down to better and more stable overclocking you can hit higher numbers with more wattage of course and the last spec that I could find that was different from the reference design are the video outputs on the card so you've got three mini HDMI and one DisplayPort on the hall of fame' design as opposed to two dual link DVI ports one HDMI and one DisplayPort on the back of the reference but that pretty much sums it up for all of the specs that are different from the reference design everything else is pretty much the same all the memory specs memory speed at seven gigabits per second this card does have a two gig frame buffer of gddr5 on a 256-bit memory interface and it does have a memory bandwidth of 224 point three gigabytes per second aside from that it does have the same TDP as well as the reference design of 230 watts and they are recommending at least a minimum of 600 watts for your power supply now that I've said that I'm gonna take it over to Kyle for a close-up look of the card thank you kindly mr. Kyle and before I get into the hardware specifications of this particular card there's one thing that Kyle forgot to mention in the last clip and that is just like the GTX 770 this card 2 is also capable of delivering up to 4 displays on a single card so you can have 3 monitors that you can gain from simultaneously and you can also have 1/4 display a companion monitor from so to speak that you can just do web browsing voice chat or whatever you so desire so I just wanted to point that out and let's let's move on to the cooler itself now because it is quite stunning it is all white as you can see well I wouldn't say all white in the purest sense but it does have some black accents and does a good job of incorporating some really nice effects that you don't see on too many cards which I'm going to show you in just a bit but here it is you have 380 centimeter 80 millimeter fans maybe some of your fans that would be some serious cooling there they are very nice-looking they kind of have a sharp a sharp appeal to them which I actually particularly like and there's a massive aluminum heatsink just below it you can see the spinner ray just kind of extends throughout the entire length of the card all the way to the very end so you've got it's not it's not the thickest radiator in fact it's probably only a single slot width but it is extremely long 11.7 inches of this stuff should prove to do some decent thermal dissipation when the time comes so you've also got five copper heat pipes right there they are nickel plated and it to me according to my eyeballing skills it looks like they are about six millimeters in diameter if I'm not mistaken you do have some GeForce GTX 780 R and that black strip kind of extends and bleeds over to the front of the card which also looks very nice has kind of a silver accent all across the front here you've also got more gtx 770 and you'll also notice this really thin white line that kind of extends across the entire face of this card and there's basically an LED behind it a white LED that will light up in pulse when this guy's plugged in and powered on it gives a really nice cool breathing effect and it looks really awesome especially when it's it's dim and low light you can see it a lot better you've got your 2 8 pin power connectors which I already showed you but there they are again since we're here and check this out guys this is what really ties all of this card together is this fully white PCB this is this is the real moneymaker here and and quite frankly this is pretty much what you're gonna be seeing most of the time when your graphics card is plugged in to most standard chassis these days so I thought it was really important I thought it was a really nice touch and very important that galaxy made this PCB white if they wanted to be calling this card an all-white model so good job galaxy you get a pat on the back for that it does look very nice there's your PCI Express gen3 slot of course and lastly I know we already looked at this earlier but is another close-up look of your video outs if this camera will ever focus wait let me touch the screen and make it focus there we go so there's our three mini HDMI ports as well as your display ports and some pretty useless ventilation quite frankly just because it's not adjacent to the heat the thinner egg whatsoever it's just kind of next to this fan so not sure how effective or functional that ventilation is there but there you have it that pretty much sums up all the hardware things that I want to talk about on this card so lastly why don't we take it over to the included accessories alright so first we've got a little paper that says attention customers basically telling you to register your card with galaxy on their website so you can take advantage of their extended warranty you got to do that 30 days within the time you purchase the card so be diligent about that they've also given you a Do Not Disturb sign so whether you're overclocking or gaming you can tell your mom or your little brother to go away because you're busy you're either you know whether you're in progress or under progress that whatever I'll go with it and you've also got this nice little paper cutout thing you basically just punch it out and follow the instructions connect the dots pretty much and you'll end up with this little 3d paper figure guy it was kind of funny because I actually saw this thing standing on somebody's desk at work and I had no idea what it was or that it was really related to galaxy in any way and then I opened up this box and look at oh oh now I'm connected the dots you see what I did there I also got a few adapters here you've got some molex to eight pin PCI Express power connectors sorry about that I needed to focus for a second so here we have a mini HDMI to regular HDMI adapter and you've also got a DVI to HDMI I know it's really hard to see through this horrible plastic but there it is and lastly we've got your user's manual which is pretty vague in general actually they don't even have the actual hall-of-fame card represented in the diagram it's just the reference gtx 770 so not all this information may be applicable but if you're a beginner you're new to this stuff this might come in handy for most give you out there you probably won't need it and lastly you have your installation CD for your drivers you've also got some software on here some tweaking and tuning software that Galaxies provided which I've heard is actually pretty decent and look at that even the CD is white geez these guys are good but there you go it's always best to go to the nvidia website to ensure you have the latest drivers and that is it for accessories alright ladies and gentlemen that is going to do it for this overview once again this has been galaxy's gtx 770 hall of fame all-white edition if you guys enjoyed the video please subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and like my main man lino so he says like the video if you liked it dislike it if you dislike it and give me all of your cold hard cash I'm Kyle with awesomesauce news thank you all for watching and I'll see you guys next time
