Lol, where is our "friend?" :laugh:

That big hullabaloo had to do with 1gb of RAM in which a 256bit memory bus is sufficient. Those who own 5xxx series know that anyways. I'm just wondering if this is the reason we haven't seen the 2gb card in retail. I'm all for ATi building a bigger beastlier card. I'd buy it.

I would also like to see Sapphire or Powercolor sell just these coolers for retail. I had one of these on my 4890 in it was indeed the best air cooling solution on a GPU I've ever used.

Hey Wiz, why did you say that that card reached 1GHz without moding like other cards?
I thought all the 58xx and 57xx series card come with voltage control through things like MSI Afterburner and such.

I would love to see one bare for watercoolers, but you know some idiot would buy it, cook it and demand warranty. Or put on a 1990's Pentium heatsink with screws.

Power comsumption and fan noise is what i always check in video cards.

About time powercolor had something nice released

# Slightly higher power consumption than reference design

I think this is because a certain voltage is set on the GPU.

Alot of people are trying to reach the magical 1GHz, and thereby the voltage would be set to archieve 1GHz. I might be totally wrong, but if anyone wants to measure the default vGPU voltage?

Rather other cards consume lower but overclock alot lesser then some cards. The VCore for these cards might be lower then cards that actually archieve 1GHz 'stock'.

The GPU voltage is managed by a UP6213 voltage controller, which does not support I2C software voltage control.

God damn it Powercolor. This is the only thing that disappoints me about their custom-PCB cards.
