Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 TOXIC 512MB GDDR5 Video Card Spotted
AMD/ATI's graphics partner Sapphire has released today Radeon HD 4870 TOXIC, an overclocked Radeon HD 4870 card with a custom cooling on it. What makes this card so special is the patented Vapor-X cooling system and its clock speeds higher than the reference boards. The cooling itself takes up two slots, makes use of a Vapour Chamber technology and features a thermally-controlled fan supported by three copper heatpipes. The new TOXIC model is also factory-overclocked to 780MHz GPU from 750MHz stock speed and 4000MHz memory from 3600MHz stock respectively. The card is equipped with 512MB GDDR5 memory. It offers 800 Stream Processors, has DirectX 10.1 and CrossFireX support, a PCI-Express 2.0 interface and two DVI connectors. Except that and maybe the fancy retail box it ships with, there's nothing else about this card that could interest you more. Pricing and availability are still unknown.

Looks cool - gonna order two when they are available.
Regular
And 3870 Atomic
That first pics cooler bottom does look very much like the Atomics vapor chamber bottom, so yes, I was wrong :) However it was 4C worse on idle and only 4.5C cooler (91C) on load, so not the best.
