GIGABYTE Shows Off The Radeon HD 5870 SOC Graphics Card

By

The GIGABYTE HD 5870 SOC is a custom designed ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics card that was made with overclockers in mind. This is the first graphics card that I have seen that uses NEC Proadlizers on it. It also has voltage monitoring points built onto the PCB and LED lights to show you what power phases are being used. This is a very cool looking card and if you’d like to know more about it the video below is great.

GIGABYTEs HD 5870 Super Overclock Edition contributes to top performance, insane speed, and best components with new design. One of the quality components of Ultra Durable VGA+ is GIGABYTEs exclusive use of proadlizers. Unlike other leading brands that only use one proadlizer on their graphic cards, GIGABYTE generously uses five units of NEC Proadlizer, also known as film capacitor, to provide amazing current capacity up to 5000uF and extremely low ESL/ESR for super overclocking ability. Five times the regular capacitance indicates the amount of electric energy stored is fivefold. By placing five proadlizers around GPU, electric currents are able to be charged and discharged rapidly to support super overclocking activity. The quintupled proadlizers transmit more stable power even during heavy loading.
