Specifically, I'm next to positive it's an ATI graphics card. I just don't understand why they're about to solder the top of the heat sink. Likely they don't want to get close to any components.

I see this thing being useful for soldering lamp cord or doorbell wire - like in their animations. Or jewelry items and other craft-type hobbies. They don't show any animations of someone working on SMT parts or anything like that.
