hello and welcome to tech of tomorrow's YouTube channel I'm our Ferriss editor-in-chief and today an Vidya makes a new launch in their budget line video cards this would be their 450 line today we'll be taking a look at the gigabyte version of this the GTS 450 follow along as we show the specifications how it compares to the other cards in this gen of cards and if it's worth your money at the end of the day currently most these cards are selling about 129 dollars for reference based design cars which this is one of those cards so this should be about the standard price for this check out what's coming ok so check it out here's what comes inside the box of the new gigabyte GTS 450 what you guys you get the user's manual you also get a mini HDMI the standard HDMI connector a standard VGA to DVI connector and you also get the standard power to the 6 power power connector to power your card ok so let's go over some of the basic features of gigabytes new GTS 450 first of all it's based off of invidious standard reference design so it has a 783 megahertz core and a 1566 megahertz shader along with a 3600 megahertz of memory so it also supports DirectX 11 it's based on the new 40 nanometer fabrication process it has 1.17 billion transistors and has a 225 millimeter to die size this card is basically a reference design card it supports all the features from Nvidia it supports Nvidia's CUDA it supports 3d vision and 3d surround using multiple cards for gaming this card will be pretty good especially if you use it in SLI mode two of these cards in sli mode actually runs almost exactly the same as a 460 card okay so we get the end of the day with gigabytes new GTS 450 well you know I said the car was based off the reference design well it pretty much is but there are a few little things about the card that do make it stand out one of the things that I really talked about much was there copper core which presents a 14% little cooler thing and supports overclocking better so the card does actually differ a little bit from the reference design so I want to correct myself there the card does sell for about one hundred and twenty nine dollars and it's a Grilli good card there's going to be a whole mass of these cards that come out in the next few months how this card will compare then we'll see but right now gigabytes a strong company they have a good warranty program good mr ma and good people who work there so when you get the gigabyte card you're buying more than just the card you're buying the gigabyte name so I say it's a good card for a reference design card it does sound out ever so slightly from just a standard card from our friends at Nvidia so this has been the launch of the new GTS 450 thanks for watching see you more on tech of tomorrow
