14 DAY TRIAL // PowerColor has just announced the expansion of its graphics card line with a new model based on AMD’s recently introduced Radeon HD 7750 design that relies on a single-slot cooler to keep the card’s temperatures in check.
The redesigned PCB appears to be just slightly longer than that of the reference HD 7750 and it uses a single slot cooler which is covered by a long, black plastic shroud with PowerColor's logo on it.
The cooling system comprises a large aluminum heatsink with tightly-packed fins and the heat is drawn from the core via a copper plate.
Air is flown through the aluminum channels by a large diameter blower type fan which sits at the back of the graphics card.
While PowerColor hasn't provided us with any pictures showing the base of the cooling assembly, it is pretty safe to assume that the card sports some kind of VRM and memory chip cooling.
Despite its thin profile, PowerColor’s single-slot Radeon HD 7750 is equipped with an almost full set of display connectors, which includes a dual-link DVI port, a full-size HDMI 1.4a port and a DisplayPort 1.2 output.
No details regarding the pricing or availability of this graphics card were unveiled by PowerColor, but we do know that AMD’s MSRP for the Radeon HD 7750 is set at $109 US (about 83 EUR).
The Cape Verde Pro GPU utilized for the Radeon HD 7750 includes 512 stream processors and 32 texture units, which are paired together with 16 ROP units and a 128-bit wide memory bus.
The card’s stock operating clocks are set at 800MHz for the GPU, while the 1GB of GDDR5 memory is working at 1,125MHz (4.5GHz data rate).
