Ontario, Calif., August 17, 2010 – When it comes to gaming, being “Top Gun” is essential, but it requires great reflexes and a graphics card with firepower to match. Luckily, the XFX Radeon™ HD 5970 4GB Black Edition Limited graphics card has the firepower, the memory (4 GB GDDR5), the most in-demand features, and much, much more.

Redefining the word “exclusive,” a very limited number of serialized cards have been created, with each packaged with a custom P-90-themed LAN bag, specifically designed for organizing peripherals. This gun case replica-style LAN bag was created specifically for this card by G8 Brand, the international gamer apparel company that has been creating apparel—and now accessories—that meet the unique and specific needs of the gaming community.

The guts of this XFX HD 5970 are equally impressive, and, together with the unique packaging, make this top-of-the-line card a true “Top Gun.” Specifically, the fastest dual GPU graphics card on the planet HD 5970 comes with massive, 4 GB GDDR5 memory, for rich, realistic visuals and explosive HD gaming performance. The exclusive, dual-slot tactical design fansink housing keeps the card cool under the most extreme gaming conditions. 

Six Mini-Display Port outputs enable you to run up to six displays with ATI Eyefinity technology. And, ATI Stream Technology boosts system performance significantly by offloading tasks that were previously CPU bound to the GPU for better-balanced platforms. What this means is that you can edit and transfer video content faster and more efficiently than ever before.

ATI CrossFireX™ multi-GPU technology offers advanced performance scalability. DirectCompute 11 also is a performance enhancer; taking on some or all of the DirectX 11-enabled application’s processing load, which frees up the CPU for other tasks.

Other goodies include ATI PowerPlay™ Technology, which scales the power draw so that when activity is low, the power draw is minimal; ATI Avivo™ Technology Enhanced Unified Video Decoder 2, which enables users to watch the hottest Blu-0ray movies or other HD content beyond 1080p; and HDMI 1.3 which ensures that you get the most from your Blu-ray experience.

Ontario, Calif., August 17, 2010 – There’s an ideal graphics card for every gamer, and the XFX ATI Radeon™ HD 5770 single slot graphics card is for the gamer looking for “ility,” as in “utility,” “stability,” and “reliability,” not to mention some excellent overclocking “capability.”                

A single-slot card variant of the 5700 performance card family, the XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card features 1 GB of GDDR5 memory and a PCI-E2.0 bus. With a core clock of 850 MHz and a memory clock of 4.8GHz, the single-slot XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 is comparable to many of the 5700 double-slot cards, but it’s not the specs that make this card so unique: it’s the fansink.

Uniquely designed with a large copper base that measures 41 mm X 28 mm, the larger heatsink surface area is complemented by three large heat pipes under the fin. The resulting heatpipe surface area is 15% greater than the HD 5770 dual slot channel fansink. This, combined with the open space provided by the single slot environment, ensures maximum airflow to the GPU.

Increased airflow is matched by reduced dBs. An acoustic comparison of the 5700 family found that the XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 single slot was up to 23.5 dB lower than the HD 5770 dual slot full cover fansink and up to 13.5 dB lower than the HD 5770 dual slot channel fansink. What all of this means is that the XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 single slot runs quieter than most of the graphics cards in the 5700 family—without sacrificing cooling performance. 

Enhanced cooling and reduced noise is helped by fan speed, which is controlled by a PWM circuit on the PCB. Dust levels are kept down with IP-5X dust protection standard on all cards.

Ultimately, the XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 single-slot graphics card has all of the features that ensure reliability over the life of the card—including a reduced risk of exploding capacitors—a longer life expectancy, and better overclocking performance.

For gamers who have been waiting for the ideal single-slot graphics card, the XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 has been worth the wait. The unique cooling capacity—and reduced noise levels—of this single-slot solution turns up the “ility,” making this a very attractive graphics card indeed.
