Asus Rog 5870 2Gb Matrix Platinum "Limited Edition" Card - Unboxing

[callowaymotorcompany]

Why do unboxers always do the actual product last?

Its pointless and kind of annoying.

[coolpurple00]

how much power do you need to run it? I'm planning on getting this card, then upgrade my power supply so that I won't have to buy another one if it turns out that my power supply isn't strong enough.

[DarkMX1000]

@coolpurple00 600watt but recommend 850

[jewie27]

Weaksauce

[demon6937]

so i has the dvi to vga adapter can i use my vga lcd monitor's cable directly to the adapter and use it?

[GamersCanGame]

gotta love the sticker

[XultimativeX]

just pay 100€more. U CAN coz u can afford a 400€ one.

But for 500€ u get the 580. Just Do It!:D

[darylglenn100]

but will it blend?

[GT5Enthusiast]

[General734]

[metallicaofhammet]

¿how expansive its this card vs 5970 black edition?, congratualtion, i hope some day buy this carda, in 10 years,ajajja XD

[CharlesNilsson]

Är du från sverige?

[anessabanovic]

du låter väldigt svensk

[2424tippy]

Is a Q6600 PCU big enough for two of these cards or cross fire?

[Erebus31]

buy Asus Rog 5870 2Gb Matrix Platinum or xfx black edition 2gb? pls help me

[FuckoffTard]

and i simply love your accent.. :D

[FuckoffTard]

are all the 5870 matrixes platinum or do they make a matrix that are not platinum??

[iphone3gs78]

can this card run with 3 1680 by 1050 displays 

[DarkMX1000]

@iphone3gs78 Yes

[FunkadimaReloaded]

This is a general question that hopefully someone who owns this card will see: I'm thinking about buying this card, but I don't know if the 2gb of memory will be fully utilized on one monitor (1920x1200). If anybody could let me know it would be great

[DarkMX1000]

@FunkadimaReloaded It won't its to low of a rez. Go for the one gig and save some money

[FunkadimaReloaded]

@DarkMX1000 Alright thanks for the info.

[jlbee36]

will this beat the 5970 ?

[falubii]

@jlbee36 When crossfired they will.

[jlbee36]

@falubii with out crossfire like a single 5970 2 GB and a single 5970 2GB who will win ?

[falubii]

@jlbee36 5970

[RKProduktions]

Are you by any chance Norwegian? You don't sound very English to me.

[MARKO4166]

Shame that you didnt buy Asus ARES graphics card !!!!!!! but thes are good to !!!!

[StrikeOnImpactTV]

how much

[felon91]

Tjena

Tänkte höra om du hört något än om Waterblock till Asus 5870 matrix? :)

[MetalPower86]

and you have 4 of these in crossfire darkmx? i think i hear you say in your chernobyl build video that you do,. is this correct?

[devourment8800]

awsome looking card, are you going to watercool them? i wouldnt want to remove that awsome looking stock cooler :O

[Daxx219]

"Nice stuff i will be using it"... bämm :-D

[k0k3r91]

Hey I got this card, but when I install it, the fan works, the card turns on, lights work, but I get no display, I have tried resetting CMOS, changing DVI cables, and changing PCI-E slots, do you know any fix?

[ArfurSchrunkunpecker]

I just subscribed cos I love computers. But please stop always saying `guys' or `OK guys'. Keep em coming dude.

[NoxeN2008]

lol why so mad? you sound so upset lol but that every sexy video card but i would go with 480 GTX 4 way but that just me i guess :)

[DarkMX1000]

@NoxeN2008 Mad no man? Do i sound mad lol

[RKProduktions]

@DarkMX1000 Well, you sound mad because your pretty much shouting towards the mic..

[ZeroHeroVids]

@DarkMX1000 Probably because you talk loud :)

[chaosquall1]

@NoxeN2008 4 way suffers from terrible issues 3 way works much much better in terms of fps and overall preformance.

[UnrealGlider]

@NoxeN2008 why? This thing owns the 480

[nefegigolo]

one awsome card.cant wait to cross them up.but that case badge is ases too.if you dont need the other one, ill be happy to take it

[hdgamer123]

damn silly 8 pins........if only my PSU have two 8 pins connector than I would totally buy it.

[nzgroller]

cool card

[felon91]

Tjena DarkMX1000.

Har samma matrix 5870 som du!

men när ja speler ligger det på 85 - 90 grader

Vet du vart jag kan köpa Fullcover Waterblock? :)

Skulle verkligen va schyst med hjälp! :)

[DarkMX1000]

@felon91 Kolla din kanal XD

[felon91]

@DarkMX1000 Schyst som fan!

När tror du det kan kma då? xD

[WARFOX101]

It is soooo SEXY!... Ya know DarkMX I would love too See benchmarks to compare to the 5870 1GB card :)

[DarkMX1000]

@WARFOX101 Soon friend soon

[wombat581]

that cards cooler looks awesome, shame your water cooling tho . .

[DarkMX1000]

@wombat581 Trust me they will look insane with the blocks coming out soon.

[Pobierator]

Thats very nice card man. I need to get one of those since my 4870 X2 is broken but I don't have moneyy 4 that. Here in Poland those cards are very expensive. Peace

[DarkMX1000]

@Pobierator Shit man yes i know. Poland is expensive

[YTBYlover]

Nice comp screens in the backround.

[DarkMX1000]

@YTBYlover Thanx

[lVleSHuGGA]

you recommend me selling ym 1GB vapor-x 5870 for this card?

[DarkMX1000]

@lVleSHuGGA Yes i do

[DarkMX1000]

@lVleSHuGGA Or sorry no i do not. If you have one monitor and only play at 1920x1080 then no

[lVleSHuGGA]

@DarkMX1000 well i was thinking of selling my 5870 and either getting a 5970 or getting one of these and i plan on getting 3 monitors sooner or later i didnt know which i should do

[chaosquall1]

@lVleSHuGGA 5870x2 its better then the 5890 the 5890 is 2 5850s on 1 card while the 5870x2 is littaly 2 5870s

[lVleSHuGGA]

@chaosquall1 this isnt a 5870x2 its a 5870 2GB and there isnt a 5890

[chaosquall1]

@lVleSHuGGA 5970 it was a typo was like 4am lol

[lVleSHuGGA]

@chaosquall1 thats what i figured lol

[roketmacha]

@chaosquall1 : please!! u don even know this Card...power.. THIS IS NOT NORMAL CARD

[5rcamer]

can you just use a standard 5870 waterblock on this GPU ?

[DarkMX1000]

@5rcamer No!

[andrei078]

Great Scott!! that card is sick!

[DarkMX1000]

@andrei078 Danger danger will robbinson danger danger XD

[LoGiTiC]

Holy cow you got four?!?! I could only get two. Man your system is going to be sick!!!

[joeysbomb]

@darkmx1000 that would help alot. lol im like omg why wont he show his face!! uits killing me! idk thats just the way i am lol. its up to you though. either way ill still be a subscriber.

[HSSDamian]

this or hd 5970?

[ikcti]

Sweet card, let's see your amazing overclock :P

[WestCoastMods]

Thats an absolutely amazing looking card. Never owned a Asus GPU before, but i like how the go the extra mile and put protectors on the PCIe connection and on the crossfire connector as well.

Cheers

LazyMan :-)

[DarkMX1000]

@WestCoastMods This card is amezing man! I can't wait to watercool them

[dfsa90]

Jag larde mig svenska i skolan! Hur mar du?

[DarkMX1000]

@dfsa90 Jag mår bra

[MajinFrahma]

Beauty of a card!

[Donie805sd]

sweet card man your rig is gonna be sweet

[silenceyouidiot]

But can this run crysis? Sorry, joke is a bit old now.

But seriously, a benchmark of these cards on crysis, warhead, and crysis 2 is a must, especially in 1920x1080 or maybe eyefinity resolution.

[onoff314]

best looking card by asus ever imo but the 2gb is pointless

[DarkMX1000]

@onoff314 Not with eyefinity and super high res

[onoff314]

@DarkMX1000 I thought you may say that but i have seen quite a few reviews showing it doing nothing my mates have a few 2gb as well they say it doesn't add much but if its the onl matrix you can get may as well have 2gb

[aloysius444]

will eddy be making blocks for this card?

its a shame to see that 'matrix' words go away, they look cool when they light up

[jfrydom]

4:15 That's all folks.

[themadman697]

thats the nicest looking card ever

[jmbishop511]

2:30 Damn that's a nice case badge

[mupp33n]

@mrjamesb56 Woah Woah.. mr big guy talkin biiiiiig.

Uh heres the link: nzone . com / object / nzone _ physxgames _ home . html

The wikipedia link you probably look at is the one list with games that has the SDK, but no GPU physx.

[mrjamesb56]

@mupp33n ....You learn quickly when you are in the Special Forces not to say anything that you CAN'T Do.... h t t p : / / w w w .nzone.c o m / object/nzone_physxgames_home.h t m l I count 13 with more to come , I could be wrong on that...

[mupp33n]

@mrjamesb56 Unreal Tournament is just a mod. Not the game itself. Warmonger is a game nobody has ever played, and its not really a game either, just a physx test. Crazy Machines, Cryostasis, Dark Void, MKZ.. who play those games? PT Boats is a benchmarking software if im not wrong.

I count 6 proper games on that list.

[mrjamesb56]

@mupp33n -Whatever ,No Big thing ...

[papcrap2]

wow 8GB of GDDR that's insane

[gBarsihahahaha]

great buy, awsome card

cant wait for benches :)

[TheLittleWorldofGaz]

It looks lovely :) Looking forward to seeing it in action

[RaiScapeCannel]

Best looking card ever! yeah thats whats pwns benchmarks

[Zillerz3]

dam idk why but i have a feeling this card would destroy gtx480 and im an nvidia fanboy lol

how much it cost again?

i would also like to see 4 of these vs 4 GTX480's lol

[timmytime1793]

one sweet card.

didn't this card hold the record for fastest single gpu card for awhile?

[speedinquest]

would it be worth selling my XFX 5970black edition to buy this?

[REDxFROG]

ASUS is so damn good.

[alexey2Kde]

You will run 4 of these? Now I know what the 1.5K Powersupply is for. :D

[frostmage6985]

Nice =D

[DJBertz94]

You know. Its not really a question of "Is it better?". Its "Is it worth it?" Its $520. The 5970 is only $100 bucks more but its a dual card. So you figure that it would cost you upwards of 1000 bucks to get 2 of these. 2000 to get four. I say fuck it. Im still sticking with the 5970s

[DJBertz94]

@DJBertz94 And plus. 2 5970s are 1200. 800 bucks less than 4 of these and a few less fps. Is 10 or 20 FPS really worth 800 bucks?

[sbvikings30]

does this crad support regular waterblocks

[enforce007]

whatz up guys, dark mx here :D *i love it ^^

[gumberly]

DUDE! can't wait to get mine!!!

pfff who needs that awesome box. and wow, that card, WORTHLESS.

all you REALLY need is that sticker. MAN.

...need that sticker :)

[MobbadeApan]

Great having u back doing videos :D:D:D

[MidwinterSon]

A box in a box in a box...

[gumberly]

@MidwinterSon yeah, what? that makes total sense....right

:)

[EliteComputerBuilds]

Does this card beat the GTX 480 hydro??

[sbvikings30]

@EliteComputerBuilds fuck yea it does

[eddox94]

what is better?? a standard 2 gb 5970 or this 5870??

[GarrettBMXes]

"DarkMX, signing out." There you go. (:

[Viperzz21]

THX for unboxing DMX1000 ^^

[xIIIDEMONIIIx]

Perfect video and on my Birthday!

[PiirmaNils]

DOH' what the f***, IT's got a overclock utility? WHEL, ever heard of ati overdrive? sheees. Seems like Matrix is just renaming apps :D

[DarkMX1000]

@PiirmaNils The itracker 2 doeas more my friend. i can even change the timings on the mem. Overdrive is shit

[AmH032uTuBe]

@DarkMX1000 - SWEET CARD! But blimey, Two 8pin PCIe connectors for 1 5870! that's just crazy....

I can't believe how crazy your new system is going to be! :P

[CrossTechTips]

are you watercooling the GPU's?

[TheNecrocoil]

@CrossTechTips Noes, the huge ass radiators in his case are there just to

cool the PCU / mobo! ~.~

[fdrpyahoocom]

geekasm

[TheModerator367]

sweet i just got a asus 5770 last week

[evilcrow1001]

Who the fuck wants physx, it sucks cock and there aren't any decent hardware accelerated physx games out now or in the future, it's dead.

ATI=best choice, Nvidia fucked this generation up with their fermi shit.

[rattletop]

maybe u shud dress up as batman. that way ur identity won't b revealed.also u will be in shades of DARK! xD

[arvuti12]

I wish I would have money for cool shit like that :( meh 5770 works fine.

[artiejump]

but its not that big difference, but it IS for hardware horny guys like you so that compares haha jk

[artiejump]

get the Ares ffs

[DarkMX1000]

@artiejump how it's not out yet. And even so by the time this card is out i will be an old man.

[TheFixoon]

@artiejump I think 2 Ares is pretty much same preformance as 4 Matrix cards.

[sjclark09]

Holy jeebus! $500 price tag on one of those puppies and you're running Crossfire X? Nasty build. Do we have an ETA for this beast being done or is just whenever you get the parts?

[joeysbomb]

@darkmx1000 is there a video explaining why you do not show your face?

[EliteComputerBuilds]

@joeysbomb I was wondering the same thing..

[DarkMX1000]

@joeysbomb no man i have said it tons of times on my channel. maby i will make i vid XD

[wombat581]

@joeysbomb Darkmx does not have a face when you look at him all you can see is a reflection of yourself

[hootis8]

that card looks almost too good to put a water block on

[joeysbomb]

i dont think i was subbed to you when that video was released. which video is it? if i would have known i wouldnt have left the comment. so its not about listening or not.

[DarkMX1000]

@joeysbomb Oh ok man my bad i admit that...sorry

[bigdima3]

8x 8 pins, shit oO

[jmmyjimmy106]

Yeah, Asus did that with my GPU as well.

[joeysbomb]

@vr0l1jk im not trying to "influence" him. no need to get hostile either.

[DarkMX1000]

@joeysbomb If you did not know that then i am sorry XD

[souperman12345]

sexy card, sexy packaging!

[xXMarco14Xx]

Damn, i want that card !

[mamba360]

nice

rog wow

[xIDemonHeroIx]

Your rule your game. awesome xD

[whlzdenis]

Fuckin love that card! No jokes.

It looks awesome and love that sticker xD

Dark would u make that sticker as a giveaway? xD As u probably will have 2.

Cant wait to see these card in your rig.

[eddiec20122]

Amazing!! your going QUAD! WOW

[eivindrew]

I want this card, it looks soo aweSOME!! jizzzzzzz

[FORZALEGEND360]

This is just pure ownage. Nice.

[topazsin12]

DarkMX1000 = 1#

[Scwedishejager]

Good shit :)

[mrjamesb56]

Spending all that $ on those Nice Cards , It's got to Piss you off about not having PhysXs-(It Would with Me!)-What made you chose the Ati 5870's over the gtx 480's?

[Vr0l1jk]

@mrjamesb56 Being different It hink

There are enough GTX480 sli vids on the tube, no matrixes though. And the GTX480 sux balls

[Blazen22x]

@mrjamesb56 I have Nvidia cards, and Physx really isn't that important... The only game that was huge with physx was Batman. There are so many more great games that don't use Physx... Battlefield Bad Company 2/Team Fortress 2/ Dirt 2/ Tom Clancys H.A.W.X/ Call of Duty Franchise/ Upcoming Medal of Honor. Physx is just Nvidia's way to benchmark their cards... Cryostasis... fluke, Darkest of Days... fluke. My friend has an ati 4850 and maxes Metro 2033 @1680x1050 and thats funny how it's Nvidiagame

[Torikkaa]

@mrjamesb56 Lol he dont care about phsyx, its shit anyway.

[BuGeris]

@mrjamesb56 I thin it's temperature and power usage. If you would have 2 sli gtx480, it would be same as having marijuana plantation in your basement.

[mrjamesb56]

@mrjamesb56 -Thanks for all the Responses , My Question was to DarkMX1000 ,He has deep Pockets and I was wondering why he was using the 2nd best solution(Four gtx 480's would generally be faster) and doesn't include Physxs? So if only DarkMX1000 would answer ,that would be appreciated ,thanks...

[DarkMX1000]

@mrjamesb56 Next video will be about that and the matrix card.

[NetGenReviews]

@mrjamesb56 Hey mrjamesb56 .... this might sound like spam or something but I just want you to check out one of my video and look at the first comment I think it is... It was posted by " jamaican18prince " and reply to him or something. The comment is on the unboxing of my GTX 480 video. Just look at what he put. I already replied with a 2 part reply. Tell me what you think about that comment he posted.. like wtf is up with that..

[mupp33n]

@mrjamesb56 Why would you want Physx? When only 7 games use Physx... moron.

[mrjamesb56]

@mupp33n ,37 games by the End of the Year ,Actually ....

[mupp33n]

@mrjamesb56 Really? Nvidias page says 8 actually. Idiot. And theres ONE new game coming with physx support and that is Mafia 2. Sorry for bursting your balloon with a neede.

[mrjamesb56]

@mupp33n , Well then we are looking at 2 different Nvidia pages ,...It's a Pity that we can't meet , because 8 would be about the Number of Original Teeth you would still Own in your head afterward...You are one those tough guys on Youtube ,Real life ,Not so much ....

[mupp33n]

@mrjamesb56 Why would you want Physx? When only 7 games use Physx... moron.

[mupp33n]

@mrjamesb56 Why would you want Physx? When only 7 games use Physx... moron.

[getlow1985]

@mrjamesb56 first off your a fan boy lol :P and physx is a waste and not many games support it so its not worth it

oh how i hate fan boys

bye

[mrjamesb56]

@getlow1985 - This "Fanboy" owns 2systems , one with 2 Nvidia 8800 Ultra's ,The other has two ATI 4890's....

[joeysbomb]

let us see your face. thumbs up if you agree with me.

[Vr0l1jk]

@joeysbomb Thumbs down actually, I think Dark should make his vids just like he likes or feels to, you can't influence him

BTW: Is youtube strange with you guys as well?

[DarkMX1000]

@joeysbomb you still do not listen. I have told why i never show my face, so i say it again. The name DarkMx1000 is well known in sweden and my thing is that no one knows who i am. Sponsors know duuuh... friends and some people i choose to show my face. Even when there are events like dreamhack or some other event i always have a mask on me and never show my face.

[HumanOFtheWeek3000]

@DarkMX1000 lol the secret PC hardware reviewer haha gimme a break

[DarkMX1000]

@HumanOFtheWeek3000 it's not about that, If i show my face here on youtube then everyone will know who i am back here in sweden. This is my thing and thats why i have sponsors and shit. just deal with it XD

[HumanOFtheWeek3000]

@DarkMX1000 yeh i understand lol just joshin

[DarkMX1000]

@HumanOFtheWeek3000 Hehe ok

[b0ss6769]

@DarkMX1000

zorro ? :)

cheers dude
