MSI Announces Radeon HD 6870 Twin Frozr II OC Graphics Cards

[btarunr]

Internationally renowned graphics card and mainboard manufacturer MSI announces today the R6870 Twin Frozr II graphics card. It is equipped with the latest 40nm AMD Radeon HD6870 GPU, IGB GDDR5 high-speed graphics memory, and the award-winning Twin Frozr II thermal solution. As a result, the operating temperature and noise of the R6870 Twin Frozr II are reduced by 19°C and 12.8dB respectively (versus the reference design). Also, the overvoltage function from the MSI-exclusive Afterburner software further enhances the OC potential of the Barts GPU, and AMD's Eyefinity Technology provides optimal multi-display 2D/3D output for gaming, productivity and entertainment. Along with the super reliable Solid CAPs which prolong product life and enhance product stability and quality, the R6870 Twin Frozr II is the best choice ever for power users looking for graphics cards with ultimate performance and low operating temperature.



Exclusive Twin Frozr II thermal solution maintains perfect balance between cooling and noise control
The Twin Frozr II found on the R6870 Twin Frozr II consists of a large-area copper base heat-sink with high density radiation fins, dual 8cm temperature-controlled PWM fans, and five heat-pipes to increase airflow and enhance heat conductivity for the GPU and neighboring components. In addition to the superb cooling effect, it is quiet! Under full load, the Twin Frozr II cooler reduces temperature and noise by 19C and 12.8dB respectively versus the reference design. By design, the R6870 Twin Frozr II is the industry-first graphics card that achieves a perfect balance between thermal solution and noise reduction.

Support for Afterburner overvoltage function to unleash display performance
In terms of software support, the R6870 Twin Frozr II supports the MSI-exclusive Afterburner OC software designed for instantaneous GPU and memory clock adjustments and advanced fan speed control. Users can even save up to 5 OC profiles of their own for gaming, productivity and entertainment. With the Afterburner, users can further adjust the GPU voltage to break through the limit of GPU and thereby unleash the power and performance of graphics cards. The Afterburner can also monitor the GPU temperature and fan speed for power users to totally control their graphics cards.

AMD Eyefinity and 3D Video
The R6870 Twin Frozr II is equipped with the AMD-exclusive Eyefinity Technology for multi-display, supporting up to four screens. DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4a (which support 3D video and 7.1-channel lossless TrueHD and DTS-HD audio formats) help provide consumers with the most exciting audio/visual fun.

Aaaahh sweet, I was hoping MSi would start putting these awesome coolers on the AMD cards eventually, looks really nice

 

[Over_Lord]

I think this card will own it!!

There already is / was a HD5850 Twin Frozr.

This card does look nice although I hope MSI have taken advantage of the cooler and overclocked the card nicely.

 

[PopcornMachine]

Maybe this is the card Santa will bring me.

How long is this card? Looks like the perfect candidate for my SFF rig.

Edit: Is the power connector up top? It's not at the end, where it usually is.

Ah I never saw it, bummer would have been nice

They should start selling these coolers stand alone. They'd do pretty well.

 

[gumpty]

The power connectors for the 6870 are on the top of the card.

Why cant thermalright or some others make this cooler 3rd party? I mean there is almost no vga coolers that only use 2slots and work in crossfire/sli? So moronic?!

 

[WarEagleAU]

I Agree they would do awesome as standalone coolers

I pestered MSI to try and sell me a TwinFrozrII sink for my 470, no luck I think I probably annoyed the crap out of them

Hehe.. no its youre right as a consumer to be annoying!

 

[micropage7]

i like the HSF, looks simple and serious, just aluminum and black fan

 

[LAN_deRf_HA]

Argh. I just now realized why the end bit is different on the ati card, they just flipped the shroud design.
