Gigabyte company exposure on CES 2010 allowed us to understand that MSI will not be the only producer, who release the radeon HD 5870 version with the core frequency 1 GHz - competitor prepares the video card GV-R587SO-1GD with analogous core frequency .
As explain associates with the reference to the official presentation, preparation for the announcement of gigabyte GV-R587SO-1GD already started, the guarantee of high overclock potential is the main factor. Procedure was called Gigabyte GPU gauntlet - it implies the multistage selection of video chip on the criterion of frequency potential and operating temperature. Thus, the adaptability of the video card model GV-R587SO-1GD to the overclock is determined by sorting video chip. Similar methods frequently adapt AMD and NVIDIA partners.
