2013-03-21
good evening everybody that's right it's evening time here at Tech of tomorrow and why are we coming to you in the evening instead of a normal time well for one thing it's launch time that's right AMD has their latest weapon in their arsenal for the mid-level gaming market what is this well this is their latest solution it's called the Radeon HD 77 90 now this card has 800 nice extreme processors 40 texture units 16 ROPS one gigabyte of gddr5 memory with a 128-bit memory interface with 6 gigabits per second total memory effective bandwidth so all in all it's a pretty good card now the only thing it may affect this car at all may be the one gigabyte of memory because you guys know when you start increasing all the features and stuff like that it has sometimes some you know negative stuff on it but since it's late tonight we're just gonna bring you first the unboxing so you guys can see it back behind me this is the sapphire version this is their dual X Edition this card's gonna be coming to market at about a hundred and $59 it's pretty interesting and I think you guys are actually going to like this car so with that said let's jump in let's just take a quick spin the box I know you guys don't like it if I pause too much between things trying to work on that and I also does you guys make a lot of notices about my hand just as I apologize for that I have really advanced age diabetes and sometimes I shake really bad so I'm trying to do my best to slow that down and not pause too much but it's hard for me just keep talking it you know fast paced the whole entire time I'm doing this so all right now let's jump over the table and let's actually delve into the box alright folks so here we have a close-up of the box some of the most interesting things are the woman's breasteses they are quite the proper size there even though the virtual we got the overclocked thing here dual X cooling that's all-important Radeon 28 nanometer process all good stuff now basically right here this tells you will come to the box system requirements not much there here's the nomenclature so if you guys are looking to buy this card because you can type in the internet to find it and purchase it then we'll flip it around just real quick show you guys the back of the box not too much to it just going over some of the other features about the card all the way down you know I affinities important but I don't think with a 1 gigabyte card you're gonna be having very much luck with I affinity it's kind of a I think a bullshit tactic so just go ahead and pop the box open whole thing out set it off the side already then now okay I will admit it took me a lot of doggone time but now it seems that on the tab here is using the correct way to open the box so there we go no more upside-down boxing's inside we can see you the card all of the accessories which we shall take out on take a look at and that's it for the box all right so let's start off sapphire this is from there sapphire project registration from the sapphire Club via member here's the driver CD where to get all the company in Germany or here quick installation guide crossfire bridge molex to 6-pin cable connection HDMI cable and DVI to VGA that's all the stuff for the accessories so we're going to pop out of the way then let's take a look at the card itself go ahead and pull it out of its anti-static bag so the anaesthetic bag down let's start up on the back of the card you guys can see this card has a black PCB a lot of you people have complained for years of sapphire uses a crappy blue PCB for all you folks out there hated it hey your prayers have been answered you can see it there are four bolts right here if you remove these you can very easily remove the cooling off the front of the card let's fit around a little quick take a look at the Rio we have one single link and one dueling DVI connection standard HDMI and standard DisplayPort one thing it's kind of weird though is that you guys notice that most of the AMD cards always have two mains portes this is something totally different we see Nomi display ports at all on this card so let's flip it around to the side you guys can see it's a two slot solution now inside here if the cameraman get inside there you guys can see some of the copper that's part of the heat pipe part of that dual X cooling here's the pcie 3.0 interface down on the bottom now here you guys can see there are two fans hence the dual X cooling and underneath them you can see all of the cooling fins as well to help keep the card running cool flip the round the back side once again you guys can see inside and some of the coolants more heat fins inside of there flip that around right here I'll flip it around you guys can see the sapphire logo though so here's the Sapphire logo six pin power so you're gonna have got 150 TDP single crossfire connection right here up on top so you can only do two waik crossfire you won't be doing quad on this card at all so that's pretty much it till you get the card and all the accessories and that's everything that comes in the box of the new sapphire HD 77 90 over clocked edition see you later
