Intel's Taped & Glued Arc A770 GPU: Tear-Down & Disassembly of Limited Edition Card

In this video, we're tearing apart the brand new Intel Arc A770 16GB Limited Edition video card (it's not actually limited). All testing was conducted prior to the tear-down and the card, of course, still works. The A770 card is dressed-up with LEDs -- and they are nice -- but it uses a mixture of double-sided tape, glue, normal tape, and screws to hold it all together. This tear-down shows you how Intel built its new in-house board for the A770 GPU, but for the performance review & benchmarks, check out our other video on the channel.
