PowerColor HD 5770 Low Profile Edition packs Arctic cooler

For HTPC owners looking to enter the DirectX 11 era, Tul Corp-owned PowerColor has developed a ‘real’ low-profile Radeon HD 5770. On display at PowerColor’s Computex booth, the half-height card offers DVI and HDMI outputs and is equipped with a dual-fan cooler from Arctic (Arctic Cooling).

The Radeon HD 5770 Low Profile Edition also boasts 800 Stream Processors, a 850 MHz GPU clock ,a 128-bit memory interface backed by 1GB of GDDR5 VRAM @ 4800 MHz, and lacks CrossFireX support. The card’s pricing and availability were not announced but it should be long before we see it in stores – maybe up to a month.

PowerColor Radeon HD 5770 Evolution shows Nvidia some love

As promised, at its Computex booth PowerColor is showing off a few very custom graphics cards, including the Radeon HD 5770 Evolution which comes equipped with Lucidlogix’s Hydra chip, enabling it to be paired up with another Radeon or even a GeForce card for enhanced gaming performance.

Beside the Hydra chip, the card features a new, dual-slot cooler, 800 Stream Processors, a GPU clock of 850 MHz, a 128-bit memory interface, 1GB of GDDR5 VRAM @ 4800 MHz, and DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.

Unfortunately, due to driver issues, PowerColor is not yet ready to bring the Radeon HD 5770 Evolution to market so for now all we can do is contemplate.

PowerColor presents its PCS+ HD5550 custom graphics card

PowerColor has now announced a new PCS+ (Professional Cooling System) series graphics card, more specifically a model that is based on the Radeon HD 5550 but features higher-than-stock frequencies and a custom fansink built by none other than Arctic Cooling.

Named PCS+ HD5550, PowerColor’s latest DirectX 11-ready solution has 320 Stream Processors, a GPU clock of 650 MHz, a 128-bit memory interface, 512MB of GDDR5 VRAM @ 3600 MHz, D-Sub, DVI and HDMI outputs, and the mentioned (dual-slot) cooling solution that boasts a 92mm fan and a copper base.

“This is the very first time we are bringing the PCS+ series to the value segment,” said Ted Chen, CEO of TUL Corporation. “With superior overclocking ability and advanced GDDR5 onboard memory, the PCS+ HD5550 creates out-of-the-box gaming performance. This will bring this value segment solution a new level.”

PowerColor says the PCS+ HD5550 is shipping as of today but we’ve yet to find it in stores.

PowerColor making progress with its Radeon HD 5970 Eyefinity 12 card

Tul Corp-owned AMD board partner PowerColor has provided a few new pictures depicting its Radeon HD 5970 Eyefinity 12 graphics card which boasts two Cypress 40nm GPUs and 12 (twelve) mini DisplayPort outputs, enabling a massive 12-monitor setup for gaming and serious bragging rights.

PowerColor’s upcoming Eyefinity monster features a 2×256-bit memory interface backed by 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM, 3200 Stream Processors, DirectX 11 and Quad CrossFire support, and takes up three slots when utilized ‘in full’. If you don’t want to connect more than six monitors to the HD 5970 Eyefinity 12 then there’s the option to remove the daughter card with six outputs that’s at the rear.

PowerColor has not revealed the card’s clocks or pricing but that’s probably because it is preparing a Computex (June 1-5) launch.

PowerColor working on Radeon HD 5970 with 12 DisplayPort outputs

If you think that the Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Editions cards are extreme, with their six mini DisplayPorts, then think again as PowerColor is working on a Radeon HD 5970 card with 12 (twelve) outputs.

Seen below, PowerColor’s uber-Eyefinity HD 5970 model features 12 mini DisplayPorts that can power a maximum of 12 monitors, it takes up three PCI slots so it will have a massive cooler, and packs 4GB of GDDR5 memory. The card’s clocks have not been set yet and we may have to wait until early June and Computex to find them out. Still, even at stock HD 5970 frequencies this Hemlock card should be a beast so you may want to start saving up. For both the card and 12 monitors.

Providing more competition to Nvidia’s hot-headed Fermis, PowerColor has designed a PCS++ (Professional Cooling Solution) version of the AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5870.

“With factory overclcoked settings, the PCS++ HD5870 delivers out-of-the-box performance that only used to be achieved through time consuming trial and error,” said Ted Chen, CEO of TUL Corporation. “This will be the most complete solution available on the market right now.”

The PCS++ HD5870 is expected to start selling on April 20 for $449.
