EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 Graphics Card Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

The video presents an unboxing and first look at the EVGA GeForce GTX 570 graphics card, positioned as a more affordable yet capable alternative to the GTX 580 in Nvidia's 500 series. The host explains the architectural reductions that distinguish the GTX 570 from the 580, including fewer CUDA cores, less memory, and a lower overall memory bandwidth, while highlighting overall performance potential and lower power consumption. The packaging contents are revealed in detail, starting with an EVGA gaming poster, a user guide, a driver disc, and a sticker set, followed by a set of accessories such as a mini HDMI to HDMI cable, a dual MOX to PCIe 6-pin adapter, and a DVI to VGA adapter. The host discusses EVGA’s packaging philosophy and emphasizes eco-friendly packaging, then moves to the card itself, showing the back of the PCB, the dual six-pin power connectors, and the rear-exhaust cooler design that is aligned with Nvidia's reference approach. Differences in memory configuration are explained, noting that memory chips are absent on some back-side components, which accounts for the GTX 570’s 1.28 GB memory. The video also covers practical user guidance on installation, Adapter compatibility for SLI setups, and highlights EVGA’s support features such as the Step-Up program, lifetime warranty, and 24/7 tech support, before offering a closing recap and a prompt to subscribe for more content. The host ends with a quick nod to EVGA’s branding tools like their Precision overclocking utility and references to their standing in reliability, 3D performance, and Folding at Home leadership, inviting viewers to enjoy more unboxings and tech reviews on Linus Tech Tips.
