entry into the market is the new sapphire dual XR 1985 now to do less because it was a xxx it had to be the nasty version and not just not what it is so you guys all know this card just came out I know her from tech of tomorrow I know you guys want to see more than just me running my trap so let's jump in and let's see what this cards all about first off folks let's talk about pricing is obviously the cash is muy importante and for you people who's been good it means very important this thing is coming into market about $265 will have various models and everything linked down below so we're out the bat folks you guys can see the dual X name features two fans you guys can see those both right on top now this thing size in at 264 by 113 by 34 millimeters and features a 2 slot design now as far as power requirements go going to the card it has 2 6 pin power connectors and actually inside the box that comes with a 4 pin 2 6 pin adapter so if you guys don't have that with your power supply they'll provide it also 500 Watts minimum the power supply is the requirement some of the other stuff inside the box includes the driver all the information about the card you get a VGA to DVI adapter you also get an HDMI 1.4 cable and you get this little mousepad now it's not really gonna be all that effective for gamers but it's actually just pretty cool as kind of a collector's thing and then you also get those two adapter cables I talked about those four pin to six pin adapters in case you don't have them also you guys that are really nitpicky I know you guys like to complain about the PCB color well this thing is all blacks a little match pretty much any system you guys are out there look into design down the side of the card down by the pcie 3.0 interface you guys can see these things look cool that's some nice cool copper heat pipes going around as we look on the other side of the card you can see the sapphire logo and then the dual BIOS one of these is for legacy and one is for UEFI as far as specs goes yep the 285 is still based off the 28 nanometer process now this card that we're looking at it has a base clock speed of 965 megahertz features 2 gig of gddr5 memory with a 256-bit memory bus and it features a fifty six hundred megahertz memory speed it also features 1792 stream processes which is just a little bit less than a 280x as we bounce around to the rear a card and all the outputs you guys can see this as an HDMI 1.4 cable included DisplayPort 1.2 one DVI and one DVID so there are the specs you guys have seen the card now let's rock out to the benchmark song and see how this thing compares to the competition all right you guys are back thanks for walking out now why do you guys all want to know what the heck that song is well that is the human Zoo by me here in the team at Tech of tomorrow we hope you guys like it also a lot of you guys asked a lot of times hey where's your music and how did you guys get to what you're doing we'll

far as the heat and stuff goes 29 under Idol 66 under full load you guys can see it also gives an r9 280x a pretty good run for its money and in some cases it even beats the GTX 770 so all in all this is a pretty good card like I said in the beginning of the video this card's coming out at about two hundred and sixty-five dollars which is you know kind of almost matching the card and they should because it's called a 265 and sold it for 265 when they've been nice and easy I think you guys would agree so that's pretty much it folks so I'm Eric thanks for watching techo tomorrow once again
