Default ASUS EAH5870 1GB coming out which are stronger the maximum 17%

Since AMD launched the HD5870 series vga, it became the most powerful vga to date. ASUS waste no time supplying them to the market. I was lucky enough to get a first-look preview of the ASUS newest EAH5870 vga.


There are already many in-depth reviews of the HD5870, so I’ll focus on the feature ASUS has to offer. From the following slides, we can see ASUS has exclusive voltage and clock tweak on SmartDoctor software. For maximum vCore 1.35v, you can push the GPU clock over 1000MHz easily. Even in Crossfire mode, the vCore will be adjusted simultaneously, which is good if you want to overclock multiple cards.


ASUS is also offering a DX11 game bundle, a coupon for DiRT 2. Since the HD5870 series provide Eyefinity feature, I’ll be trying to playing it with three 24” LCD monitors. Sadly, the game will be released in December, I’ll have wait till then.


Here’s some photos of the card itself.
Front & back side of the box

ASUS is very sensitive to add cover to all unused connectors.
Hope they’ll add covers to Displayport and HDMI.








Add back-plate to the rear side, not seen on HD4800 series.
