New information about the solutions on base of graphic processor RV870 continuously appears. This news does not concern the elder representative radeon HD 5870, but the radeon HD 5850.

In the first photograph, it is possible to estimate the overall design and overall card sizes . The length of the printed-circuit board, is not strongly shorter than in Radeon HD 5870. We cannot fail to note the massive cooling system, which occupies the place of two expansion slots , it is supplied with turbine . For additional power answers only one six-pin connector, which limits the energy consumption Of radeon HD 5850 to 150 W. On the second slide it is possible to estimate the construction of radiator. This topology already became classical for the upper price range video card. Several heat pipes are connected to the separate radiator, which in turn, is cooled by the airflow from the turbine. There is a radiator, which answers for cooling the power-supply system. AMD mastered the lesson Of radeon HD 4850, whose cooling system was not enough and equipped Radeon HD 5850 with an adequate cooling system. Related Products :
