One-armed king is the new Gigabyte Radeon HD 7850
Overdrive and 1 GB VRAM.
Gigabyte Technology sees that 2GB of onboard memory is not yet required for a basically mid-range video card. In light of this, the engineers pulled out the scissors and created the Radeon HD 785 controller, codenamed GV-R1OC-7850GD. Excellent quality and durability are guaranteed by the Ultra Durable 2 design (Lower RDS (on) MOSFETs, Ferrite core resistors and Low ESR solid state capacitors) and the WindForce 2X, supported by two heat pipes, is responsible for proper cooling. The graphics processor spins at 860 MHz instead of the 900 MHz recommended by AMD, while the 1GB GDDR5 memory chips tick at 4,80 GHz. In terms of outputs, we have a DVI, a gold-plated HDMI and two mini DisplayPorts.
