The quietest Radeon 5850
A new entrant has installed an awesome sized cooler on the Cypress based card.
The German Edel-Grafikkarten.de team is a new entrant in the graphics card market, they immediately come up with a tuned copy that Radeon HD 5850 Prolimatech MK-13 he got a name. The clocks have changed as follows: the GPU’s 725 MHz reference clock has been raised to 760 MHz, while the 4.000 MHz effective clock in memory has been raised to 4.400 MHz. (Although 4.800 MHz is included in the test, 4.400 MHz is given on the manufacturer's official website, so it is considered relevant.) Prolimatech MK-13 was fitted with a refrigerator marked with two 12 cm BeQuiet fans. Surely quite a few people are surprised by the fact that the two fans are not factory-fitted to the oversized heat sink, it is up to the user to do so. Equipped with the two air vents, the card occupies three slots on the motherboard.
MK-13 without fans
The biggest advantage of the gigantic cooler is that the card remains almost silent even under load with raised clocks. Of course, compared to the reference card, this 5-7% speed increase may not seem like much, but it’s still faster than a Geforce GTX 465, which has a much louder and more appetite. In the test, all current games ran smoothly, with frame rates dropping below 30 FPS only when the anti-aliasing level was set high.
Equipped with MK-13 air agitators
The HD 5850 Prolimatech MK-13 is a fast and extremely quiet solution for players who are not averse to paying 350 euros for it. The package also includes the full version of the Alone in the Dark game. It is important to mention that edel-grafikkarten.de is a market player that selects its cards from selected and strictly controlled components, in addition to optimizing the card's BIOS itself. After that, I think the above-average price tag is understandable. Product website here It is located.
