Galaxy GeForce GTX 670 GC Dual Fan Video Card Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

The video delivers a detailed unboxing and first-look at the Galaxy GeForce GTX 670 GC Dual Fan Video Card, emphasizing its non-reference design and enhanced cooling system. The host highlights that this card uses a short reference PCB but pairs it with a custom aluminum shroud and a beefy dual-fan cooler, featuring four heat pipes and a large radiator-style heatsink. He notes the factory overclock to slightly over 1 GHz, while memory remains at 6 GHz, and explains how Nvidia’s features such as TXAA anti-aliasing, GPU Boost, and adaptive vsync are implemented to balance image quality, power use, and performance. The video also covers connectivity options including dual DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort, as well as support for 4K displays and Nvidia 3D Vision, situating the card as a high-end option within the GTX 670 lineup. Throughout the unboxing, the presenter contrasts the non-reference Galaxy card with the reference PCB, pointing out how Galaxy has moved power delivery components to the left side and added ventilation holes in the PCB to improve airflow over critical components, a design choice presented as both practical and innovative. He also comments on the implications for case ventilation, noting that the two 92 mm fans are likely to run cooler and quieter than the reference design, but advising viewers to ensure their cases have good airflow since some exhaust air will remain inside the case. The segment closes with a recap of key specs, a firsthand assessment of build quality, and a call to action to subscribe for more unboxings and hardware content from Linus Tech Tips.
