the old one didn't it's got more ram which the old one didn't it's got a wider memory bus which still one that I didn't want even calling this thing 650 TI this is actually a major step up in terms of performance and the actual link technology that's inside it compared to the 650 Ti and it addresses a very interesting spot in the markets you can see it comes packed in some anti-static foam and video wants the cards they send to reviewers to arrive in one piece it also comes in an anti-static bubble wrap which we're going to go ahead and open up which is then inside an anti-static bag so yes it arrived safely looking good and hopefully when we throw this on the test bench for our review it's going to function great and I'm sure well so the first thing we see about the card is that it has in videos sort of signature Kepler shroud it looks really sharp looks really good but is actually not that I mean compared to something like the 690 or the Titan cooler it is not as expensive to make so you can see where there would have been a polycarbonate window to see the fins underneath and where there would have been a glowing logo they've replaced that with a plastic textured pattern and then a green GeForce GTX on the top it still looks sharp but obviously this is this is slightly less expensive they've got their exhaust fan so it's a blower style fan on the back this doesn't keep the GPU itself as cool as some of the dual fan designs that you're going to see from board partners but what it does do is it takes all the air from inside your case and pushes it out the back so this is great for small form-factor systems or in systems where optimal ventilation is not necessarily available to you don't want to add a bunch of fans so for quiet computing this is often a bed design its a PCI Express 3.0 card so here on the bottom of the card you see it's a 16 X card this is pretty much par for the course and unlike the 650 Ti it does have support for SLI which makes sense because I've said this a lot of times but for low-end cards it usually makes more sense to buy a single better card versus buying two of them so NVIDIA has gone ahead and they have segmented their graphics card and they've gone okay look we're only going to put SLI on the cards where it may actually make sense to buy two of these cards and run them in SLI the other thing that makes this card make more sense to run in SLI is the fact that it has a 192 bit bus at least that's what my notes say anyway we can yeah there we go 192 bit bus with two gigs of memory so if you were to run to one gig cards in SLI number one is you might get some more performance of the GPU but you're not actually going to be able to crank up your resolution because you're going to be limited remember two cards running an SLI each with a Giga memory gives you a total of one gig of usable memory for the entire graphics subsystem so good giving this card two gigs of memory makes it suitable for modern games at 1080p I'd say one gig is not quite enough in this contrasts with AMD's recent launch of the 77 90 having only one gig of memory I'd say in this price class although this one is a little bit higher you got to have two gigs it comes in under the price of the 78 50 which given the performance numbers that I am led to believe I'm going to see but haven't tested yet should make it very very competitive last thing that they oh yeah very low very low power only a single 6 pin connector the back you can see the PCB is actually quite short like some of the other geforce cards we've seen and they've gone with their ego extension on the back of a card to make it look more like a you know like a more high-performance graphics card honestly the PCB length does not affect the performance of the graphics card and if you don't like the reference design there will be plenty of cards available from guys like Asus MSI gigabyte that are using a longer PCB with a larger cooler the last thing that I'm really excited to see on this card is the fact that it has four outputs natively on some of the lower end Kepler cards before we were seeing only three outputs which means you can't support three monitors and surround plus an auxilary display natively on the card without well you can't support it on the card unless the board partners implement the extra connectors on their own love to see this on the reference design because while this card even though it's got two gigs of RAM is probably not suitable for three by 1080p surround gaming and modern titles it's nice to have that available as a Productivity thing for guys who are like oh well I want to get a decent card that I can run a nice multi-monitor setup on and I can also game on on a single monitor when I'm not working so clock speed wise GPU boost not only does it come with a higher base clock so it's at nine hundred and 80 megahertz versus nine twenty five on the older cheaper card although I believe that card stays current so I can't necessarily call it older but the previously released card it also boosts all the way up to a typical blue boost clock of ten thirty three so this is at least ten percent faster when it's running in boost mode versus that older card that's really cool Plus that 192 bit bus and the extra memory gives you a ton more performance and we're really really excited to check it out it also has six gigahertz gddr5 memory and I think that pretty much wraps it up 768 cuda cores just like the old one it is running the same GK 106 GPU and without further ado thank you for watching this unboxing on Linus tech tips don't forget to like the video subscribe and I don't know what else can I tell you guys to do go eat a banana and and do let's see go eat a banana and then take the last bit of the banana find a close relative of yours walk up take the piece of banana and smush it onto their chest and see what they say guys leave a comment under the video with what your relative said when you did that and that is it for the worst advice I've ever given in a video ever
