 So today, I'll be doing an unboxing or rather an unbagging of a product that is available at retail But not in this particular form so this is the okay. You know what I'm not going to tell you what it is and Hold on I need to get my knife here because you know this knife has proven very popular with my viewers You know break the elastic there. Yeah, there we go. We'll use that as a size size comparison against the video card So based on the accessory the one accessory that came with this sample card I'm going to let our viewers guess so pause the video and see if you can guess what card this is so it includes six Mini display port to display port adapters, okay, so go ahead pause the video put down a comment and guess anyway so For those who guessed or for those who haven't guessed yes. This is the ATI Radeon HD 5870 5870 i-finity 6 edition so this has six display outputs and Other than that it is pretty much a plain Radeon 5870 But a couple of things first of all because it has six mini display ports And you can actually plug them in just like that okay It also has a full length exhaust slot unlike the regular 5870 which is only able to exhaust off about a quarter of the PCI backplate now another Advantage that it has is that it has two gigs of video RAM versus the only one gig of video RAM on the regular 5870 other than that it's pretty similar so you can see we've got our backplate here And we've got a full shroud on the back. That's cooling That's cooling the back of the video card. We've got a regular PCI Express 16x interface up at the top We will find two crossfire bridge fingers, but you know what this is something There's a lot of misconceptions about and I thought I'd just clear this up a lot of people think you have to plug Two bridges if you've only got two cards, but actually that can degrade performance rather than helping performance It's actually just fine to run only a single bridge between your two cards so there you go crossfire lesson of the day So around the front of the card we find the ATI Radeon branding and here's another big difference is that this card uses a six pin and an eight pin PCI Express power Connector so because it's got those that extra RAM That's the only real spec difference, and it needs a little bit more power Okay, so we'll go around to the batmobile ask shape of the cooler because this is a sample card and not actually a retail card There's only the ATI branding on it So there's no no partner branding like a sapphire power color XFX nothing like that around the bottom of the card we find Nothing all that exceptional now. I just want to talk a little bit about the Ifinity6 card and the technology that goes behind it So you can see that ATI has gone and included six mini display port to display port adapters and while I'm talking I'm just gonna plug these in so that you can get the full Impact of all of the displays you can hook up to this card I mean even a couple years ago the idea of having a consumer level gaming card that could output Three displays was crazy and now we have one that can output to six displays now You you might go oh well I don't have a display port monitor and that may be true But the reality is once you've gone out to display port you can actually take Two of these and you can adapt them to either HDMI or DVI So you could run six monitors off of this card with two DVI adapters and then four display port monitors So that would give you a way to do that now Ifinity6 you can make the argument again that a 5870 isn't really powerful enough to drive Six displays at 2560 by 1600 resolution that would probably be true But what you can do is you can still run six displays out in crossfire mode with another Ifinity 6 edition card so that means that you can actually run six displays off Two cards and get the power of both cards running behind it I don't believe at this time you can crossfire a 5870 Ifinity 6 with a regular 5870 And the reason for that is the different video memory although they may update that in the future So thank you for checking out my unboxing and quick product showcase of the ATI Radeon 5870 Ifinity 6 Yeah, the cameraman reminded me when I said thank you for watching my video blog or whatever it is I said that I never actually did the size comparison that I promised so here It is plugged into a really old fail motherboard, but it is a standard ATX board So you can see that it does stretch about an inch past the edge of the board Okay, so you can kind of look at that from the bottom see how far it stretches out You can see what it looks like installed in the motherboard so it takes up both the PCI Express slot It's plugged into as well as the next over slot And then here it is for size comparison against the cameraman's iPhone because we so frequently do that You can see that it is much smaller than an or much smaller much bigger than an iPhone There you go as helpful as that may be and then last but not least Comparison is against the length of the sword that I have begun using for my unboxings So there that is it that is the scale of the Ifinity 6 58 72 gig graphics card
