PowerColor Low-Profile HD 5700 Series Cards Spotted
Here are some of the industry's first low-profile graphics cards based on the ATI Radeon HD 5700 series GPUs. PowerColor's approach is straightforward, with a somewhat long PCB that houses the HD 5700 series GPU, and 1 GB of GDDR5 memory with chips on either sides of the PCB. With over a billion transistors, the Juniper GPU still needs a reasonable amount of cooling, so the card is given a double-slot cooler with an aluminum heatsink that is cooled by two 50~60 mm fans. The card draws power from a single 6-pin power connector. Output connectivity includes one DVI-D, and an HDMI. PowerColor will release both Radeon HD 5770 and Radeon HD 5750 in using this low-profile design.

I d grab two of these if they had xfire connector!
W1zzard, can you please bench this one? Pretty please? :roll:
If it maintains the same performance as the "regular" HD 5770 and overclockability (I think I just made that up...), I'm so sticking one of these in a HTPC.
An HTPC/Gaming rig is already on my mind...:D
It looks like these are the easiest to make. But they dump all the crap heat inside...
