Gigabyte Working on Radeon HD 5870 1 GHz Super Overclock Model
Gigabyte is expanding its Super Overclock family of graphics cards with a highly tweaked model based on the ATI Radeon HD 5870. The Gigabyte GV-R587SO-1GD features a complete design overhaul over AMD's reference design, with the card sporting a typical Gigabyte-blue colored PCB, and a custom-design double-slot VGA cooler. The PCB uses Gigabyte's Ultra Durable VGA construction which makes use of a PCB with 2 oz copper layer, ferrite core chokes, low RDS (on) MOSFETs, and Japanese solid-state capacitors. The VGA cooler consists of a GPU base from which four copper heat pipes convey heat to aluminum fin blocks cooled by two 90 mm fans.
The GV-R587SO-1GD comes with out of the box clock speeds of 1000 MHz (core), and 1300 MHz / 5.20 GHz effective (memory), against reference AMD clock speeds of 850 MHz (core) and 1200 MHz / 4.80 GHz (memory). ATI Eyefinity support is retained with a display connectivity that resembles the reference design: two DVI-D, and one each of DisplayPort and HDMI. The GPU features DirectX 11 compliance, 1600 stream processors, and a 256-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface. It connects to 1 GB of memory.

It would not make sense if they didn't at the very least :laugh:
That sounds like a modified higher bined chip to me.
Also your logic" cypress can handle those speeds" its almost like you don't work on an enthusiast site.
things don't stop because they're enough ! you know that :p
I'm expecting a 5890 eventually.
Admittedly I've no idea about if the silicon its selfs is any different, I would of thought especially producing a new gpu just for one card be damn expensive though.
Still holding on out for 5890, especially if nvidias new chip is faster.
MSI's HD 5870 Lightning runs at 1 GHz, too.
Once again, HD 4890 was a one off case. RV770 just couldn't reach high clock speeds, and AMD needed a GPU which could, with minimal R&D involved. There was no HD 3890, nothing between "Pro" and "XT(X)" in the previous generations, either.
Hmm maybe I'm making the reason why I'm disagreeing clear.
You stated it as fact. rather then speculation.
I'd of been quite happy to pass the comment over otherwise.
Makes sense why 4890s are so expensive in relation.
I still have my fingers crossed for a 5 series version how ever.
:laugh:
Probably waiting for nVIDIA to get something out of the door first.
:rockout:
Way to go Gigabyte !
