Passive Radeon 6850 and Twin Frozr version III GeForce GTX 570 are coming

In November 2010 appeared on the first passively cooled Radeon 6850s video card, which a PowerColor put together in his factory. Since then, engineers have made a lot of changes to the product, resulting in virtually a new card. The changes include the new PCB, the components on it, and the cooling itself. From the graphics processor called Barts Pro, five thick copper heat pipes conduct heat to the rather large and chunky aluminum ribs. For proper operation, it receives power outside the PCI-E bus via a six-pin PCI-E power cable, and clock signals are not reduced. The manufacturer will soon be launching its massive product, the price will certainly be higher than for the reference solution, but exactly how much is not yet known.

Micro-Star International hasn’t been idle lately either, a cooling called Twin Frozr III has also been applied to the GeForce GTX 570. This product has also received a lot of attention for the use of high-quality (Military Class II), selected parts, as well as the increased power supply, which is here in a 6 + 1 phase. Named after the N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition, the fans use Propeller Blade technology to deliver 20% higher-than-average airflow, as well as keeping the load temperature 18 degrees Celsius lower than the reference version at 7,7 degrees Celsius. dB with less noise. The customer will also have a switch to switch between fan profiles, so that cooling performance or quiet operation is a priority. It is important to mention that, unlike other products, the cooler called Twin Forzor III in this case is blessed with not four but five copper heat pipes, two of which are 8 mm thick (SuperPipe).

Az MSI The novelty will be available in two packs, one is NVIDIA will operate at the clocks recommended by the other, while the other will operate at the factory-raised clocks. For the latter, ie the OC version, this means that the GF480 GPU with 110 CUDA cores will be rated at 732 MHz instead of 770 MHz (1.464 MHz shader frequency instead of 1.540 MHz), while the GDDR1.280 on-board GDDR5 the memory clock was shot at around 3.800 MHz instead of 4.000 MHz.

Of course, this card also allows you to use multiple models at once, as it supports 3-way SLI technology. On the back, two DVIs and one Mini-HDMI were labeled “MSI”. The N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition OC - that is, the factory overclocked edition - can already be pre-ordered for 312 euros, the price of the basic version will be slightly lower.

We reported more than a week earlier on the release of the Radeon HD 6790 IceQ. At that time, the public could get acquainted with a copy operating on reference clocks, but today the HIS it also unveiled the factory-tuned edition, dubbed the HIS 6790 IceQ X Turbo. The clock of the Barts GPU has been increased from 840 MHz to 900 MHz, while the frequency of the 1GB GDDR5 onboard memory has been changed from 4.200 MHz to 4.400 MHz. The series of changes is now complete, the line of video outputs consists of two DVI, one HDMI and two Mini-DisplayPorts. The official website of the product erre It is located.
