gamer's gadget hounds and those who love techno crap welcome back to tech of tomorrow where we're actually moving past the 280 series of cards and we're going to start moving into the new r9 270x set of cards and the first that we have on the table is the direct C version from the people over at a soos now this card is going to have all their awesome cooling all their stuff that's in the card that makes it special to a Zeus you guys know that the people over at a soos they never use reference stuff they always go out of their way on their series of cards and bring you guys aftermarket cooling and their own design which is totally based on non reference stuff so with that said let's jump in and check out this brand new card then people over at asus alright folks so here we have it the Box part of every unboxing includes obviously well the box alright so we have the aid Zeus in search of incredible the direct see you to top version now do you guys know anything about the top version the top version is always the highest o'clock version that these guys make now this card is going to be replacing the 7870 that's right but you guys thought was anything different nope that's what it is you guys can see down here top overclocked edition two gigabytes of gddr5 there DIGI+ plus vrm alloy power all this is all the stuff that's power conditioning the good parts they use makes it last longer run cooler GPU tweak you guys all know what that is that's a sis's there software for overclocking and monitoring your card bank through all that real quick to flip it around the back where they really just reiterate stuff do you guys don't know it yet direct Cu is direct copper it means that they think connects directly to the copper on the card gets dissipated out to the heat pipes and then into the metal cooling fins to keep the card cooler 20% cooler and vastly quieter once they give me to the digits vrm plus super alloy power which actually is just the way that the power conditioning of the card is the parts that they use and it's supposed to have 30% less power noise and 2.5 times the lifespan once again we see GPU tweak sorry folks mission ablaze this I know you guys don't really like too much about the box but some people do so I try to appease you all let's go ahead now pop the endcap off you're da the r9 270x we'll go ahead and get that out of the way so we have to see a box in a box and actually had a little bit of damage and shipping their epic kick the shippers but it was UPS though so what do you expect alright so there we go we're going to pop the cap here we see all the accessories I'm going to real quickly go over these a lot of you guys said that you didn't want me to spend a lot of time on them but you did want to see him something spend a lot of time on them but I'll still let you see them so quick speed setup what we're doing speedy molex 66 pin crossfire cable driver was that quick enough all right then let me past it here we are onto the card itself where now you can see since my video that I made before about them not coming in plastic bags we'll check it out they're in plastic bags I guess I pissed somebody off already so go ahead and take that out a lot of times my cards are review samples though this is actually a full on retail package if you're watching Nick I prefer them this way let's go ahead and pull this out got a little bit of a sticky thing there stick it on the car then BOOM let me just get the box out of the way or at least fold it up I think it'll be a nice part to stop so anyways since I got this way let's start off with the beautiful black PCB on the rear of the card check that out I know that all you guys prefer that you've stated that many many times you don't want to see any other color pretty much but black on your PCB well a deuce listens to you now one thing that could have been cool about this card I'm sure we'll see on some other models when they put the back cover on I really prefer that I know you guys do as well it protects the card here's your pcie 3.0 interface stick that into your little slot in your computer I think you guys all know that flip it up here to the top let me spin this bad boy around and then I want to take note of something here you see these power connectors when I get to the review I'll find exactly what this is but this is looking like a Zeus did something a little bit different here don't know exactly what it is yet but I will investigate flip the card to the side we see the name hey Zeus direct see you too here are the heat pipes dual six pin power connectors hence why we had the molex to 6-pin kind of useless for some people but if you need it they have it better to have it than need it and not have it right exactly so here is the power plug for the fans you guys can see some of the components all underneath there see the fins some of you guys said it makes your skin cringe when I do that but this one's not making any noise I'm not getting any musical tenderness out of that so nothing there to slot solution you guys can see that more the heat pipes down here flip it to the top of the card now dc2 that means two fans direct copper and two fans hence the two fans that we see here underneath you can see all of the aluminum heat fins that help make up the cooling of the card so other IO we have standard DisplayPort none of those little mini DisplayPort jobbers standard HDMI and to DVI connections DVID and DVI I this can show you right the bat is completely aftermarket when you see a card directly from AMD it's going to have a single DVI no standard DisplayPort you're going to see two of those main display ports which I don't even like they're only good for people who own Macs I mean if you don't want Mac those main display ports are almost useless so I'm glad that a Zeus took the time to take that out so that's it folks the card the content and that's it alright so well that's the unboxing and now I've got to part with the cars it's got to go on the test station but I don't wanna part with it it's a nice-looking little card nice price well so that's it folks if you guys like this video hit that like button also if you guys would like to see a video on some articles comparing this directly against the various 280s let us know that as well also over on our website
