HIS Silently Intros HD 5770 IceQ 5 Graphics Card
Without making much noise, HIS released a custom-design ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card with its coveted IceQ moniker. The HIS HD 5770 IceQ 5 graphics card comes months after the company released the HD 5750 IceQ. The two differ in design and features sharply. The HD 5770 IceQ 5 features a longer PCB, a more complex cooling unit that makes use of 8 mm thick heatpipes (earlier used for HD 4870 based cards), 1 GB of GDDR5 memory, and reference clock speeds of 850 MHz (core) and 1200 MHz (memory). A "Turbo" variant that comes with higher clock speeds out of the box cannot be ruled out at this point. The Radeon HD 5770 features DirectX 11 support, has 800 stream processors, and a 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface. The IceQ family of graphics cards from HIS are known for higher cooling performance, and are usually quieter. The PCB is characteristically blue, and the cooler-shroud is reactive to UV case lighting. Pricing and availability are not known as yet.

There's a turbo version..
Looking good.
Suckers are way better than blowers.:)
But where is the second crossfire connector?

It has both crossfire connectors and 3 5750s will and do push a lot of GPU power. Anyhow I really think 2 cards are not worth it performance wise and you are better suited with an always on 5850 without the crossfire complications. You either go for gold or go elsewhere. It is a nice 5770 but flawed.:nutkick:
OT: if this card was oc'd at like 950/1300 i think it'd be gold, but i supposed we'll see how it overclocks, hopefully that longer PCB isn't there for nothing.
Still, it has nice cooler.
That is the pos 4730 was originally the 4810 :laugh:
The 5770 is far from crippled, it does exactly what ATi wanted it to do, which is to replace the 4870.
By saying they 16 ROPs crippled the 5770, you are saying that the 4770/4850/4870/4890 are all crippled. :shadedshu
I wish the 5770 had the more open exhaust like the 5750 does, but this looks like a pretty good cooler.
One nice thing about this 5770 cooler is the fan is moved more to the edge of the PCB so if you have a sound card or something else in the next slot it wont block the intake as much as the coolers that mount the fans closer to the I/O side
Beyond that this board looks really Nice actually with the ICEQ 4(Which ever was used on the 4870/4890) Cooler on it.
