Sapphire company officially announced the release of a graphics card Radeon HD 7970 6 GB TOXIC Edition, which was first shown at the CeBIT exhibition in the beginning of the year.
The main feature of the new chips are 24 VRAM soldered to the printed circuit board (the total amount of GDDR5 memory is 6 GB).
The novelty is based on the base GPU architecture Tahiti XT Graphics Core Next (GCN), which includes 2048 stream processors, 128 texture units and 32 raster operations unit. Memory Type GDDR5, whose volume is equal to 6 GB, coupled with the GPU via a 384-bit bus. Novelty is also different in the factory increased core and memory frequencies - 1050 and 6000 MHz respectively.
Recall from the reference sample frequencies are 915 and 5500 MHz. For more demanding users Sapphire company offers software TriXX, which allows to experiment with the frequencies, fan speed and voltage. Among the overclocking features worth noting diagnostic LEDs on the map to control the temperature and the two chips BIOS.
Cooling System Sapphire Vapor-X consists of a jacket, two 92-millimeter fan, aluminum radiator, evaporation chamber, and four copper heat pipes with nickel coating section 6, and 8 millimeters. Evaporation chamber allows more efficient to transfer heat from the bottom edges ofthe fan to the heatsink.
For the new phase is characterized by the presence of eight power GPU, 3 phase power of memory, one phase for the PLL, DirectFET MOSFETs and inductors with ferrite cores. The additional power is supplied by two vosmikontaktnym connectors. The panel interface is represented by two output DVI, two mini Display-Port, and one HDMI.
Graphics Card Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 6 GB TOXIC Edition is available for pre-order, and its costis 625 euros.
