EVGA GTX 460 2WIN Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

The video opens with Linus announcing an unboxing and first look at the EVGA GeForce GTX 460 2WIN, a dual-GPU card built on a custom EVGA PCB. He emphasizes that he will assess the card primarily in terms of its performance potential, noting that the 2WIN is essentially two GTX 460 GPUs on a single PCB and that its performance should be comparable to two GTX 460s in SLI. The unboxing reveals a fairly standard accessory bundle for the era, including a graphics card user guide, a driver CD with a sticker, a bumper sticker, a mini HDMI to HDMI cable, and the dual eight-pin PCIe power connectors, along with a DVI to VGA adapter. Linus points out the three 80 mm fans and the multi-heat-pipe cooling solution, describing how heat is managed across the two GPUs and how the middle heat pipe helps cool the board and components. He highlights the card’s full support for three displays in Nvidia Surround and 3D Vision Surround, a feature enabled by the dual-GPU design, and compares the card size to other GPUs, noting that the GTX 460 2WIN is shorter than a Radeon HD 6990 while offering strong power efficiency. Throughout the unboxing, Linus emphasizes the value proposition of the GTX 460 2WIN and why EVGA pursued a custom dual-GPU design to deliver strong performance and efficiency for multi-monitor setups. He finishes by complimenting the card’s overall design and encouraging viewers to subscribe for more Linus Tech Tips content, including unboxings and reviews.
