EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 1.5GB Graphics Video Card Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

The video captures Linus Sebastian of Linus Tech Tips unboxing the EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580, a high-end graphics card from the Fermi generation. He notes the GTX 580 as an evolution over the GTX 480, emphasizing improvements in power consumption, heat output, and overall performance, while outlining the key feature set including 2-way and 3-way SLI support, DX11, 3D Vision Surround, and 1.5 GB of memory. The host walks through the packaging, accessories, and quick start materials, highlighting the driver disk, a short user guide, and various adapters such as dual Molex to PCI Express, PCIe to PCIe 8-pin, and a DVI to VGA connector. He also points out EVGA’s branding claims and mentions a lifetime warranty on some EVGA cards, while explaining the card’s physical design. A notable moment is the discovery of a poster included with the card, which Linus uses to invite viewers to participate in a quick contest and name the skeleton figure on the poster. The unboxing then shifts to a hands-on tour of the card itself, describing the cooling design, the rear exhaust configuration, the GPU code GF110, the power delivery area, SLI connectors, and the dual DVI plus mini HDMI outputs. The video concludes with a quick tour of the card’s back and top connectors, and a reminder to check out Linus Tech Tips’ launch day coverage and subscribe for more content.
