Gadgetory

hey let's go on glad to see you guys here once again so what are we doing here today well today we're going to be checking out a four gigabyte version of the GTX 960 from the people over at gigabyte this is their wind force addition and does 4 gigabytes actually really mean at 1080 let's see so let's first start off with taking a look at the car now right off the bat you guys can see there are three fans predominate on the top all with the gigabyte logo on top underneath that you can clearly see the aluminum heat fins and there are four heat pipes also to keep the card running cool down below that you guys can see the PCI interface and once again you can see more of that aluminum heat fins on the side I'll spin the card around the back you can clearly see the four copper heat pipes emanating from the back of the card looking pretty cool now as we take a look at the top of the card you guys can see more of the heat fins you can also see the six pin and the eight pin power connectors as well as more of those aluminum heat fins now with the wind force logo is this lights up all the time but on the side you can see there are two little lights now these light up when the cards in silent mode and then they go off when the cards fans running so if your system is running nice and cool the card will go on silent mode the fans won't be spinning at all it'll be completely silent and it'll say silent and as soon as your card heats up enough to run those fans those lights will go off and your fans will start spinning once again as we flip around the back of the card you guys can see once again see the g1 gaming logo by the way this is the g1 gaming 4gb edition of the car the total nomenclature is the envy and 960 g1 gaming Ford GT that's its full-on Norman clay churn you guys sincere here in the back it has that g1 gaming and the little tiny Egyptian I also you guys totally are in love with these back panels I don't blame you I'm going to love with them too they offer total solid protection for your card also we can see up there in the right-hand corner the single SLI connector this card can do two cards in SLI mode another really cool aspect about this card is actually the rear i/o now many people have contacted me lots of times they're trying to hook up multi monitor going hey man do I have to have a power to dapper what's going on I can't get it to work well with this card and the option that they have on the rear i/o they have quite a bit as well as guys can see you guys can hook up four different display types with different connections and they'll all work out to buy any type of adapters or anything else and that's really cool now as far as the outline of the rear i/o it goes like this you have a dual link DVI DVID HDMI and three display ports this card has a base clock speed of twelve hundred and sixty-six megahertz and it's boost clock is at thirteen twenty nine megahertz now this is just out-of-the-box experimentation and where you live you might get better or worse results it just depends on actually where you live and how cool your system is the maximum resolution of the card is 4k is 4096 by 2160 and like I said this card should do very well for those people wanted to use multi monitors now as far as the gaming goes on multi monitors that four gigabytes should come a little bit into play now having four gigabytes of extra memory should actually translate into better graphics at higher resolutions and we'll get in that a little bit later but we found this card at 2560 by 1440 even with those four gigabytes it really wasn't doing too much this card's geared for 1080p that's where it shines with that said let's jump in right now let's first take a look at our test station then rock out to the benchmark songs and see how this card does against the competition let's rock maybe all right so there you have it man the gigabyte g1 for gigabyte version of the GTX 960 now as far as the car goes this card is very well made the three fans on top all of its cooling stuff all of the backplate all this stuff makes this card really nice including all that ability took up multiple monitors so this card has a lot of positive features to it now as far as just out of box testing goes well you guys can see that there were a few other cards that actually tested a little higher and that's due to those cards being way more overclocked but you can use the gauntlet soft floor and I'm sure you can overclock this card just as well it was like 39 at sitting still and 66 under full loads so you know this card has plenty of room to do more overclocking I'm sure the car can probably get up to like probably 90 Celsius and still run just fine so the Headroom on it's very very large so don't really you know look at those numbers and just go a while you know this card sucks it got sore because you can always overclock it to those same numbers they're just doing it out of the box with that said though I think this card offers a lot of features if it wasn't $49 more I would actually get an interest choice and say whoo awesome awesome awesome but I know people out there are tight on money in that $49 it just might be the squeeze above 200 they people go oh I don't want and plus like I said this card's geared for 1080p it's not geared for 2560 by 1440 so it's no real surprise that this card is not totally kicking ass in those resolutions hence why we left them out of this review we test them we were like ooh okay yeah that's uh not doing good there so four gigabytes of memory might be good for multi monitors you might be able to turn some stuff up and get a lot but I don't know that extra vram to me just isn't making this card the sweet spot for most people at 1080p I feel you get a two gigabyte card overclock the out of it put two of them in SLI mode if you want and get even more substantial power and you're still going to save money so you bought two of these cards you'd actually have almost enough money saved you know to buy the extra card so I'm Elric thanks for watching Tech tomorrow peace out I love you folks thanks for watching the channel um I don't know if you guys are sub you're not hey I wouldn't mind if you were sub because and you seem in your inbox every day and I hope you guys like this video peace out and be
