 Today we will be doing an unboxing of the GeForce GTX 460 2Win or TWIN from EVGA. This is something I have received numerous requests to take a look at and to evaluate the performance of. So I'm going to be doing one of those things today and I will be taking a look at it. I will not be evaluating the performance because I can tell you guys right now before I even open the box how it will perform. And I think the performance should be fairly evident based on the name of the product in this case. So what this is, is it is a custom PCB product from EVGA who is, if you are to believe what it says on the side of their box, and I do, the number one seller in the US of Nvidia based products, number one in reliability and service of graphics cards, something something to footnote, number one performance leader in 3DMark 11 and the number one folding at home team in the world. Let's open this baby up and see what we get in terms of accessories. So the first thing we have is a graphics card user guide. The next thing we find is a driver CD with a sticker. So you can use the sticker but throw away the driver CD. Download the latest drivers from Nvidia.com. This is a sticker. It appears to be a bumper sticker. That's kind of sweet. Throw that in your car. Why not, right? All right, next we have a mini HDMI to HDMI cable and that's a nice long cable so you don't have to worry about any clearance issues when you're plugging in the full size HDMI cable. We've got two dual six pin to single eight pin PCIe power connectors as well as a DVI to VGA adapter. The next thing we find is the two win or twin card itself which has a custom cooler, custom PCV. This is just about as custom a card as you can hope to encounter. So let's open this up and let's talk about performance here for a little bit. So performance of the GTX 460 twin. Well the performance will be exactly the performance of two GTX 460s in SLI or with pretty much within margin of error of such a solution because this is a dual GPU graphics card. So on this fully custom PCB you can see we have three 80 millimeter fans and those are all blowing into a fully custom heat pipe cooler. So you can see each of the GPUs has three heat pipes. So on this top one you can see three heat pipes coming out this way, this way, and this way. This middle one is actually only cooling heat, well only carrying away heat that is brought to it from the heat pipes from the other GPUs as well as blowing down onto the PCB to cool any other incidental components. And then here the other GPU has three heat pipes coming out of it this way. So carrying heat away from those GTX 460 GPUs or GF 110s I believe they are. So this is not restrictive at all so these fans are going to have full access to the airflow they need to blow air onto the heat pipes and fins. Here this is a really cool thing about this card because it is an SLI on a card card we actually have full support for three displays out in 3d vision surround. So one of these sets of displays is running off one of the cards the other two displays are running off of the other card or chip or whatever you want to call it. So we have full support for technology that is typically only possible with Nvidia SLI. So here we see a little bit of the overall design of the card so you can see where the GPUs are situated. You can see this is 512 megs of RAM so the other 512 megs is in all likelihood, I'm just going to double check that before I go ahead and confirm it, yep, is on the other side of the PCB. Here is all of our power delivery circuitry which is incidentally powered by the two 8-pin PCIe connectors on the top of the card. Here's where the other GPU is as well as the RAM around it and the rest of the RAM is on the other side. You can see here that we are using a PCIe 16x interface to communicate with the computer and up here we've actually got an SLI bridge finger. This doesn't work because of the limitations of the GF110 GPU itself, it is not capable of 4-way SLI, it is only capable of 2-way SLI which we are already running because we're running SLI on a card. So we can't use this, that is just an error, shouldn't be there. Okay, here we've got two 8-pin PCIe power connectors which I mentioned before. They are situated in their ideal locations on the top of the board because if you extended this board any longer then it might not fit into some cases. We've got an EVGA logo up here at the top which matches the color scheme of the rest of the card which looks really sharp I might add. And then other than that let's move around to the back of the card and have a look at what's there, not a whole lot. Okay, let's look at the bottom of the card, not a whole lot, nice brushed finish to the cooler though, looks really really sharp. And I just want to do a quick size comparison for you guys. I'm just going to run and grab a GTX, let's see, let's get an EVGA GTX 580 and that's all I really have on me right now I think. Oh no, hold on, I have here, I have a Radeon 6990. So why don't we compare the size really quickly to these other cards. So remember the GTX 460 because it's such a good value GPU, as soon as you put it in SLI it actually outperforms a GTX 580 even though the Twin is a less expensive solution than a GTX 580. Power consumption is also excellent on the GTX 460 so that's what makes this card such a compelling solution and that's why EVGA went out of their way to produce a custom card just for GTX 460 SLI. So here is the length compared to the Radeon 6990. You can see it is a touch shorter, about a half, no, about a centimeter and a bit shorter and requires the same number of PCIe 8-pin connectors although I can guarantee you this dual GTX 460 card consumes far less power than the 6990.
