hey tech friends welcome once again back to tech damar we're bringing you all the tech all the time now check it out just a few weeks ago we saw sapphire release their version of the HD 7950 geared for the Mac Pro and for hackintosh is now in a countermove just like an vidi to do they got to have something bigger they've pulled out their owned Mac Edition card and we have that sitting here right in front of us now this card got launched this morning and this is the new EVGA Mac edition geforce gtx 680 now check it out over in the bottom over here we can see clearly it's got the Mac logo right there now you're gonna notice that this card cost $100 more than a standard card you guys want to know why you see this little logo over here and that's why for that logo alone I'm sure EVGA is happening to pay the people at Mac on under bucks so we'll go over here you guys can clearly see it's the EVGA Mac Edition over here is the geforce gtx 680 now there are some requirements to the card I'm gonna pull the card right here you guys can see Mac Pro early 2008 or later models Mac Pro 3.1 or later with PCI Express 2.0 slot Mac OS version 10 point eight point three or later also works with Microsoft Windows 8 Windows 7 Vista and all that stuff so you could build one of those things and you can also use Apple's bootcamp so you can either make a dual boot system or build a boot camp system and this card will work just perfectly we'll flip it on the back of the box it has all of the same features and a little bit more than your standard car paint the Mac Edition it also has an ef5 BIOS this thing also has your standard 1536 CUDA cores most of the basic features of the car camerman can just zoom in very close over here you guys can see this will bring this out here NVIDIA GPU boost so that supports the boost the clock that means when the card is running and it needs a particular booth the card will actually increase itself making the card run faster has recruited technology PCI we talked about opengl 3.2 OpenCL support and it has all the stuff that's in the box what mods we'll take a look here real closely you guys can see this this is all stuff that we're going to get to in just a second there IO featured a display port HDMI DVI and DVI D so let's go ahead now and let's talk a couple more things in the back here EVGA heads us warranty and also 24/7 support and that's pretty much it let's go ahead and take the trusty little thing here and let's begin the unboxing you go ahead and take this up here I cut in here camerman he has prepared himself and so this will be thrown at the cameraman at high velocity but I missed Justin by that much alright so let's go ahead also once again we see the box is sealed by the EVGA a little thing right here and I'm gonna go ahead and make it a little slice right here yeah alright and I see there's stuff in here that's gonna come flying out so I'll just go ahead and get that down shake that make sure there's nothing there once again I throw alright it's like the Wild West around here alright so starting off we have this book get it up here EVGA gtx 680 graphics card for apple mac pro installation guide hopefully it will come with all the proper cables because basically there are two cables that you need to use to hook up so let's go ahead we see a big EVGA logo thing here once again at the Chairman whoo almost got it all right accessories pack they're all inside of these things right here and yes here are the two cables inside this bag there are the two cables that you are going to need to do the installation very very important and also very very easy we have the DVI to VGA little adapter inside here and we got this right here we have a standard DisplayPort two main DisplayPort that's kind of important for those people for the Mac obviously you're going to want to have them a display board because most of those Mac monitors have that and that's it's inside of here then last but not least we have the card itself completely sealed from the factory we'll go ahead and take this I'll be nice this time and not put the cameraman please give me that dirty look again means enough throwing at him all right we get your message men I hear you let's go ahead and just remove this now the seal I'm going to have to break it right here so kaboom you're breaking the seal and deep virgin eyes doing that card oh my oh my and for those who are concerned yes I did round myself out before taking the card and touching the card some people asked that no take the card right here I'm gonna go ahead and we'll just let the camera zoom in right here to the rear i/o DVID dvi-i standard HDMI standard DisplayPort a little cap things just pull those out of there real quick you guys can see those right there easy money set those off the side real quick you guys can also see the card two slot design down here in the bottom of the card we see the pcie 3.0 interface let me set the card back down let's see how big the card is shall we got the measuring tape out the card is sizing it at exactly 10 inches now as far as the height the card goes inside your system will see the card is four inches in height and as far as the thickness of the card the card is one-and-a-half inches thick it's kind of hard to see because my thumb I'll try them with them out of the way but one and a half inches is the thickness of the card just go ahead and set that down let's go ahead and move a little bit this plastic now you guys can see a closer look of the card I'll just have the cameraman zoom in here real quick and we'll take a little stroll just across the car too so you can see it now you guys can see it's got a plastic shroud and come see the entire card and we also see the blower type fan here I'm gonna go ahead and turn the card on to its side on the side we clearly see the GeForce GTX logo EVGA here are the two 6-pin power connectors those are for the cables that are right in here you're gonna want to plug those into here and then right directly into your Mac or your PC I'll have it on its power supply you guys all know that also I were on the top here let me remove this little rubber thing right here and I'll move the card to the back where we can clearly see there are two SLI fingers right there now we also have a card in the back I'll set it down you guys can clearly see it the PCB is completely black in color and this is also a pretty reference design card so if you're trying to look for printing a water cooler or anything else if you want to go all crazy as hell on this you could install a water block on this very very simple due to its design alright folks so that is it I'm glad you guys watch this video for those people out there looking to build a
