For our readers who don’t really know who Colorfire is, we can say that it is a subsidiary brand belonging to the well-known Chinese video card manufacturer Colorful. Colorfire is preparing to launch a new custom design of AMD’s Radeon HD 7870 graphics adapter. The new card is called Colorfire Radeon HD 7870 Xstorm and is powered by a Pitcairn GPU that has a frequency of 1 GHz.
It comes with 1,280 shaders and 80 texture units all using GDDR 5
memory running at 4800 MHZ effective speed.
Colorfire’s Radeon HD 7870 Xstorm comes complete with
AMD’s UVD3 video decoder, Eyefinity and ZeroCore technologies.
The cooling system consists of five nickel-plated heatpipes cooled by a very large single cooling fan.
The fan
reportedly has 12 centimeters in diameter, although it doesn’t seem so large by looking at the pictures.
Colorfire’s Radeon HD 7870 Xstorm has a 12-phase current supply, and no details on pricing are available yet.
