The new generation DisplayPort interface supports higher resolutions, richer color depth, and increased refresh rate performance, delivering 10.8Gbps of bandwidth over previous generations of connectivity options such as DVI, LVDS and VGA. The GIGABYTE GV-R587UD-1GD, GV-R585OC-1GD and GV-R583UD-1GD also provide advanced connectivity to TVs and displays with HDMI with 7.1 digital surround audio support. Delivering the ultimate solution for high definition home theaters, the GV-R587UD-1GD, GV-R585OC-1GD and GV-R583UD-1GD are able to take full advantage of Blu-ray functionality with dual-stream, picture in picture (PIP) capabilities and one-cable HDMI connectivity. Furthermore, the GIGABYTE GV-R5800 Series are equipped with ATI PowerPlay technology for breakthrough power and consumption, maximizing performance per watt by delivering the highest level of high performance when needed and conserving power when the demand on the GPU is low.
The GIGABYTE GV-R587UD-1GD, GV-R585OC-1GD and GV-R583UD-1GD feature GIGABYTE's own Ultra Durable VGA Technology, which can provide outstanding overclocking capability, lower GPU temperature, and excellent power efficiency. GIGABYTE unique technology Ultra Durable VGA features 2 oz copper PCB board, Samsung and Hynix memory, Japanese solid capacitor, Ferrite /Metal Core Chokes, and Low RDS (on) MOSFET. Compared with traditional graphics accelerators, Ultra Durable VGA graphics accelerators can lower GPU temperature by 5%~10%, decrease power switching loss by 10%~30%, and increase overclocking capability by 10%~30%. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA graphics accelerator GV-R587UD-1GD, GV-R585OC-1GD and GV-R583UD-1GD can provide truly "high-performance" and "green" graphic card resolutions.
Anti-turbulence Inclined Dual Fan
The outstanding dual fan design doubles the cooling capability and offers extreme silent environment. GIGABYTE builds up an inclined cooling fan which helps heats can spread effectively from hot areas. 4 heat-pipes contribute to 13℃cooler than reference fansink.

Should keep nice and cool
I just grabbed two of these in 5870's. No reviews to go on, but I have a good feeling about this one. Looks to be top notch quality, I love the card look, fans look effective but quiet. I'll post some pics and benchies mid week...

Wonder though if it bundles any games...

First, GIGABYTE’s database analysis system evaluates the GPU core engine, shader engine and memory. If a processor doesn’t meet the pre-defined standard, it will not qualify for the Super Overclock Series. In addition, GIGABYTE’s proprietary testing toolkit allows engineers to inspect and select the GPUs with the highest frequency. This program operates for 30 minutes and provides important data on the maximum overclocking ability when compared to a stock GPU. Once the Super Overclock point has been determined, engineers will boost the frequency to offer the highest factory default clock setting in the market. Next, each Super Overclock Series GPU faces the Graphics benchmarks, FurMark and 3DMark Vantage, to measure performance and stability under an intense graphics load. A GPU that passes this stage will perform at a lower temperature and fan speed compared to a standard GPU. By choosing the cream of the crop, GIGABYTE ensures rich rendering of intricate 3D scenes and realistic physical effects such as water, gas, steam, fire, etc for a lifelike gaming adventure. Last but not least, engineers test the power switching and stability. The GPUs with the best power efficiency and lowest power consumption qualify for the Super Overclock Series.
I also think this is one of the better 5870s to release (Atleast in Cooling Designs)
The cooling works great when used in a solo card setup, place 2 togather and the upper card gets hot as hell, and you can't watch HD movies as you'll BSOD with code 0x00000116.
Also GPU/Memory speed is locked in 2d @ 850/1200 all the time ! :banghead::banghead::banghead:
Will it crash your PC with any HD content? I've watched HD content without issue. No Bluray yet tho.
I profiled mine to drop speed upon boot, so a small pain yes, but no real social crisis there.
Now works fine.................all I need is that AMD fix the miss with their CAT 10.X :slap:
I moved my fans around (Antec 300) so now all my intake is on the side panel, my CPU cooler vents straight up, and I removed all the PCI blanks on the back. My temps went from 42C with the stock BIOS to 35C with the new fan placement (with the Sapphire BIOS the card idles at 25C).
I can't get the fans to go under 2500 RPM though.. MSI Afterburner says 0% but GPU-Z says 2500?!?! (which seems absurdly high) Only reason I ask is it's really loud at that speed.
I work on:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3R -> BIOS F7
Processor: Intel I7 860
Memory: 4GB Kingston KHX1600
Graphic card: Gigabyte GV-R587UD-1GD
Fan: Chieftec 650W
I downloaded newest drivers to this card 10.3 and the problem with HD video is still appearing. What should I do??
Please Help!
