Sapphire Announces Radeon HD 7870 equipped FleX of the Dual-X

The Sapphire manufacturer announces a Radeon HD 7870 in its range FleX, overclockee factory and went with his heatpipe Dual-X.

Sapphire will soon offer a graphic card Radeon HD 7870 in the FleX range, frequency overclockees of plant and equipped with the system of cooling House Dual-X.

But the main feature of the Flex maps lies in their ability to use Eyefinity SLS technology on three screens without using the DisplayPort box, then just use two Dual-Link DVI ports and HDMI port with HDMI to DVI adapter provides in the bundle, easy!

For the rest, the map has a dual BIOS switchable via a button on the card, one offers the frequency proposed by AMD or 1000 MHz for the GPU and 1200 MHz for the 2 GB of GDDR5 on bus 256 bit, on the other, it grows the map to an overclocking of factory established in 1050 MHz for the GPU and 1250 MHz for the memory. Cooling is provided by the heatpipe House, the Dual-X, consisting of a large sink aluminium, four heat-pipes in copper and two 80 mm PWM fans. The rear bracket has four video output with 2 DVI, 1 HDMI 1.4 is and 1 DisplayPort 1.2.

Sapphire provided no tariff or date of marketing for the moment.

The FM2 also in Sapphire

The Sapphire constructor also embarked AMD adventure with a motherboard under socket FM2.

It is the turn of Sapphire to show his new motherboard designed specially for the next APU "trinity" of AMD under the name Pure Platinum A85XT. Directly to the reading of his name, this motherboard logically embarks an A85 who will manage eight SATA III ports to be in format mSATA, four USB 3.0 ports including two on the Panel back and two via the front panel connectors.

The FM2 socket is surrounded by eight floors of food for the APU which will be accompanied by four banks memory in DIMM format without more precision on the supported frequency. At the bottom of motherboard is two ports PCI-Express 2.0 x 16 or x 8 / x 8 when both are occupied. In addition to these two-, Sapphire adds a port PCI-e 2.0 x 4, two PCI - e 2.0 x 1 ports and two conventional PCI ports. But we also note the presence of a mini port PCI-e placed between the two major ports. Useful in the case of a small card WiFi/Bluetooth, but it will become more embarrassing if the mini PCI-e card becomes too thick. Would it not have been better to remove a conventional PCI port to replace it?

On extra connectors, Sapphire motherboard provides a DVI port, a VGA port, a HDMI port and a DisplayPort port, there is something for everyone. In addition, it will be possible to the wire in Gigabit Ethernet and put sound on eight channels with the added bonus of Bluetooth. Step of price for the moment...

Sapphire unveils a Radeon HD 7770 fanless

The Sapphire constructor never, stops between its declensions Vapor-X and its passive cards...

The Computex reserve many surprises. Today, it is a passive Radeon HD 7770 that we present the Japanese firm.This is not a test for the company run as Sapphire had already launched the HD 7750 Ultimate displaying 0 dB at the beginning of the year. We turn on the superior GPU with aluminum cooling system. The map retains the specifications of AMD references: GPU Cape Verde in 28nm at 1 GHz coupled with 1 GB of GDDR5, a priori at 1125 MHz. emphasise that the GPU in the HD 7770, which displays more than correct performance, exceed not the 80W fully loaded. Such heat loss remains a sacred challenge to manage, what makes the Sapphire Ultimate the most powerful passive map of the market.

     

Not simple to cool this creature, with several heat sink makes as long as a 7900 series Radeon card. Large aluminum block exceeds several centimeters PCB, will have to have a suitable and well ventilated housing. The games in mini-ITX format, compact and silent machines are not yet for tomorrow. Sapphire all the same that the heatpipe is subject to changes, this prototype is for the moment that beautify the technology showcase of the constructor.

The price to pay for the absolute silence will be two PCI slots. Side pockets and availability, information should fall in coming weeks.

6 GB memory for the Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 Toxic

The Chinese manufacturer Sapphire prepares a model of Radeon HD 7970 with 6 GB of memory, known as Toxic.

Russian site OCLab was able to get their hands and thoroughly dissect the graphics card Radeon HD 7970 Sapphire Toxic with no less than 6 GB memory GDDR5. The map is entirely changed, PCBs, frequencies, and cooling system are then optimized to provide high level performance. The GPU Tahiti of this map is overclockée of plant to 1150 Mhz frequency and the 6 GB of GDDR5 inspired 1500 Mhz against respectively 925 Mhz and 1375 Mhz for the AMD reference map.

    

Memoirs, 24 bullets, are distributed on both sides of the PCB, 12 on each side, the heat will be therefore dissipated in the back by a backplate and the rest of the map is the House, the Vapor-X cooling system. This system of heatpipe uses the technology of steam Chamber, thus the basis copper is surmounted by four heat-pipes of 8 mm nickel plated copper that fall and pass through the imposing finned aluminum block that covers all the PCBs. Is refreshes by two fans of 80 mm blowing across to evacuate hot air from the back of the card.

     

Note that the map is equipped with 8 phases for the GPU and 3 phases for memory, LEDs indicate in real time the activity of the phases visible GPU on the top of the card via a translucent window of the crankcase. The Radeon HD 7970 Toxic need two connectors PCI-e 8 pins to feed energy and has a dual BIOS for the overclockers, OCLab also managed to push the card up to 1300 Mhz for the GPU and 1900 Mhz for the memory its cooling system.

Remains to know the price of the engine and check the usefulness of the 6 GB of memory in practice.

HD 6850 overclockée in Sapphire

Sapphire presents a new version of the Radeon HD 6850, coupled with its Vapor-X heatpipe.

Sapphire has just announced a new graphics card. It's a Radeon HD 6850 in Vapor-X Edition. This map is based as the reference model, with 960 stream processors and 48 TPU (Texture Processing Units), but its frequencies are reviewed on the rise with 800 MHz in the heart and 1.1 GHz memory.

It is of course to the solution of cooling House Vapor-X contain this rise in frequencies. An efficient heatpipe which should leave to the overclocking enthusiasts a little margin to fun with TriXX, the tool of OC without charge provided by Sapphire.

On the dual-slot of this adapter bracket, there are two outputs DVI, a HDMI and two mini DisplayPort. Using two DVI and two DisplayPort, may use up to four screens feature Eyefinity. Note that the HDMI port is the standard 1-4, and therefore compatible with the 3D functions. Expected now to see the first listings of this map by cyber-merchants to know when it will be available, and at what price.
