Previewed during March's CeBIT 2010 event, Sapphire Technology has announced that it is now sampling its behemoth HD 5970 4GB GDDR5 TOXIC Edition graphics card.
Featuring a jaw-dropping 4GB of GDDR5 memory, combined with a total of 3200 stream processors and 160 texture units, Sapphire believes that its dominating HD 5970 4GB TOXIC Edition is the fastest graphics solution in the world.
We recently evaluated Sapphire's latest and greatest, which is kitted out with clock speeds of 900MHz and 1200MHz (4.8GHz effective) on the GPU and memory sides of the equation respectively and, as expected, is married up with a custom PCB.
The cooling contraption adopted is a customised offering from Arctic Cooling, that taps into the coming together of nickel plated heatpipes and fins, with three dual ball bearing fans to keep thermals in check.
Guesses at pricing are welcome, but remain unsubstantiated.
