welcome to my unboxing of yes I have already done a galaxy geforce gtx 670 unboxing but i'm about to do another one because this is a non reference gtx 670 so this one uses the reference design PCB which is the short PCB with the long cooler thee the blower cooler that exhausts the air on the back and this guy is slightly different so although the specs are pretty similar this one is slightly overclocked so it's at 1 gigahertz since overclocked right yeah it's over clock factory overclocked to just over 1 gigahertz still using 6 gigahertz memory just like the gtx 670 in the gtx 680 before it includes all the usual features such as the new TXA a modes which give you the same look as as older types of anti-aliasing with a lesser performance hit also includes GPU boost which dynamically adjust the clock speed of your GPU according to how much thermal head room as well as power Headroom is available to it adaptive vsync which gives you the best of both worlds in terms of whether your frame rate is above your refresh rate you'll turn on vsync and then if it falls below then it turns me sing off to optimize your performance also is very very power efficient especially considering that it's a high-end GPU which is something that you know in generations past was not really a priority for the you know the two big GPU makers out there and I'm sure you guys know who I'm talking about looks like I never brought my test bench in here so I can't hold up my 8800 ultra but that was definitely an example of performance at any cost compared to what we're seeing these days with these power efficient high performance graphics cards we've got a couple of dual molex to 6-pin PCIe connectors power connectors as well as a DVI to VGA adapter a user's manual and installation guide as well as a graphics drivers DVD is included with this card did I miss any features probably it has two gigs Murray 1344 cuda cores a 256-bit memory interface making it a very high-end card compared to what we want lessee in terms of how cut down the step down from the flagship single GPU card is so for example on the gtx 570 we saw a clock speed reduction and we've got a clock speed reduction here although a fairly less significant one especially for these factory overclocked cards so we've got a clock speed reduction we've got a decrease in the number of cuda cores but um okay I guess let's pop oh yeah right right right right right where as with previous generation products we also saw decreases in the memory frequency for example and I think that pretty much covers it you can boost do-do-do-do right right three plus one displays are supported with nvidia 3d vision surround or just regular surround and then an auxiliary display we've got dual DVI output hdmi as well as DisplayPort we've also got support for 4k monitors and hdmi 1.4 a which means you got your 3d and all that good stuff and this is about as non-reference as a cooler gets so we've got actually some really cool branding elements going on here so geforce gtx 670 kepler that is the codename you normally never see the code name on a final product like that so i think that's kind of a nice touch this is also this is a metal shout so we've got an aluminum shroud around 292 millimeter cooling fans on a very very nice-looking heat sink rate of radiator style heatsink so it's got four heat pipes you can see the copper base of it right in there with the four heat pipes coming out this is a two gig card so let me see ya all the memory is installed on the other side it looks like this is actually using what PCB design is this using huh cool so I didn't know that this wasn't going to be a reference PCB and you can see how different they are i'm going to prompt this one up right here okay so there's a reference p cv which is this short galaxy has seriously beef this thing up compared to the reference design cards so they've moved the power delivery back over to this side whereas in video on the reference card put it over here they you have just seriously amped up the cooling involved i mean the the aluminum cooling portion and i don't know if you're going to be able to see it you know you guys are gonna be able to see it but on the reference card it's you know about yay big whereas on this card you can see that it is about yay big and then they have they have also added a 6-pin an 8-pin pcie power connector compared to the dual six pins that were on the reference card I don't remember oh right right as I was confused look at this they've actually added like ventilation holes in the PCB and I can show you why they've done that because you can see some of the power delivery components over here have gaps very small gaps I'm going to try to get you guys a bear angle here very small gaps between these guys and this allows air flow to go over them more naturally than if they're if then if it was just a straight a straight dead stop for the air and it didn't really have anywhere to go so that's really cool i haven't seen that before very neat okay so let's move on does support multi way sli configurations hence the two sli connectors up at the top and it's got just a very sort of neat look to it and little galaxies like line squiggly thing going on over here i already mentioned we've got the six pin and eight pin pcie connectors is a completely non reference card i would expect this to run significantly cooler than the reference design which isn't to say that the gtx 570 isn't a cool running card already but when you've got to 92 millimeter fans as opposed to one what is that a 16 mil 70ml fan then you can expect it to run quieter run cooler however the caveat is that you need to make sure you have a case with decent airflow because this guy isn't going to exhaust all of the air out the back of your computer whereas this one will so some of the exhausted air that cooled the GPU is going to stay inside your case as long as you have lots of case fans you should still be fine so I think that pretty much covers it thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at this non-reference galaxy geforce gtx 670 and don't forget to subscribe to line is
