 This video is brought to you by the Intel Core i5 4670K unlocked processor. Add an Intel 520 series SSD to your Haswell system for unbelievable overall performance. Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the GeForce GTX 770 WinForce OC version, according to Gigabyte here, from Gigabyte. This is, as you may or may not have figured out by now, a GeForce GTX 770. It is overclocked, and more importantly than the factory overclock, it has Gigabyte's WinForce cooler. So their WinForce cooler uses a triple fan design, each of these fans being 75 millimeters in diameter, as well as one of the beefiest... Come on out. There we go. As well as one of the beefiest heatsink designs that I have ever seen. But I'm not gonna let you feast your eyes on the card just yet. I'm going to make you look at... Oh wow, look at them accessories. Is that two Molex, two PCI Express adapters? Wow, one six pin, one eight pin. So cool. Next, oh, is that a driver disc? Boing. And quick graphics card installation guide. Although if you don't like Gigabyte's installation guide, then you can check out my installation guide, which is a video. Which is obviously better, because videos are awesome. Alright, so the cooler itself, there's your 375 millimeter fans. Alright. There is your massive array of heatsink fins. So check this out. You have a huge block of fins over here on the left, a huge block of fins over here on the right. You can also see from the side over here, there are five heat pipes coming out this side. So two of them are eight millimeter heat pipes. So these are massive thick heat pipes. And then the other four of the heat pipes that are on the card itself are six millimeter heat pipes. So you can see which direction they're all going in. Actually, five of them go off this way, and then one of them loops around and comes out this side in order to effectively spread the heat away from the GPU itself, and then onto the rest of the components. Now, Gigabyte has done a couple of unique things to improve the efficiency of the cooler. So number one is they have added this triangle shape, is what they're calling it. It's not quite a triangle, because it has a flat top. And I hope you guys can see this. So if you check this out, there's a flat top there, and then there are angled pieces that are going to cause the airflow to be more directed than you would have normally seen with a WindForce cooler in the past. So what this will do is it'll take the airflow and it'll bring it in through the fan, and then drive it up this way and down this way, as opposed to causing an additional turbulence by having it interfere with the airflow from this fan, which will then be directed this way and this way. This guy over here is kind of on his own, but this serves two purposes, not only to cool the GPU core itself with all the heat that it's getting from those heat pipes, but also to cool the VRM components. So that is the voltage delivery, our voltage regulation modules, all of the stuff that turns that 12 volt power that comes in from the PCI Express connectors into something that a GPU and memory and all of that can use. Now, speaking of memory, it has a full memory plate, so that is responsible for cooling the 7 GHz GDDR5 memory that you'll find on pretty much any GeForce GTX 770 graphics card, and Gigabyte has gone with a modest overclock on the GPU core, so it is well in excess of over 1 GHz. However, this is the trick. When you have a very solid cooler on one of these graphics cards, because of GPU Boost 2.0 and the way that it works, where it actually monitors your voltage, your temperature, so bear that in mind for later, the power usage as well as the clock speed, the cooler you can keep the card, the closer to within your temperature limit you can keep it, the faster it will actually perform, which before GPU Boost 2.0 was never really true. So even though one factory overclocked card might come with clock speed A and one might come with clock speed B, the one with the better cooler may actually be running at a higher clock speed more of the time, particularly if you're in a hot region. Now, the card is very standard in terms of its shape and size. It is a two-slot card in spite of its 450 watts of heat dissipation, which we saw a demo of at Computex. It is real, it is actually a thing, which I thought was pretty darn cool. It's got the standard layout of ports, so you've got two DVI ports as well as one HDMI and one DisplayPort port. You've also got two fingers for SLI up here, giving you compatibility with two-way, three-way, and potentially four-way SLI, although NVIDIA doesn't spend much time talking about four-way SLI anymore, because the reality of it is it doesn't really scale that well. Down at the bottom of the card, we've got a PCI Express 3.0 16X connector, and then you can see that this is a completely non-referenced card, so it uses Gigabyte's Ultra Durable Concept, which basically amounts to beefier components and improved efficiency, less heat output, and all that good stuff that you expect from an aftermarket, cooled card. Up on the top of the card, we've got the 6-pin PCI Express power adapter as well as an 8-pin PCI Express power adapter, and a pretty cool sort of latticework-looking shroud that is attached to the one thing that I'd say is kind of non-standard about this card, and that is the WinForce branding up here at the top, but as long as you don't have a very narrow case and something like a side panel fan that might interfere with this, you're not going to have too much difficulty. Now, I wouldn't be completely finishing this video if I didn't mention some of the things that it comes with, so it has adaptive v-sync, which allows you to take advantage of the benefits of v-sync as well as the benefits of not using v-sync. It also has the GeForce Experience, which keeps your drivers up to date and gives you suggestions for what settings to run your games at, and later on is going to be adding ShadowPlay, which is pretty cool. It just will use the built-in H.264 encoding on your card in order to record the last 20 minutes or less, or however much you want, of your gameplay so that you can save it for gameplay videos later. It also supports 3D vision as well as Nvidia Surround, so that is up to three displays in Surround and one auxiliary display, and I think that is pretty much it.
