14 DAY TRIAL // Club 3D is doing what more or less every one of its rivals is doing, namely launch a bunch of new graphics adapters.
Since Advanced Micro Devices has finally revealed its Picairn-based products, Club 3D is not about to fall behind.
What Club 3D now has to show are two Radeon HD 7870 and two HD 7850 video adapters, though sales will start only on March 19.
One of each sticks to the reference design, while the others bear the company's own CoolStream cooling technology.
Oddly, though, there seems to be no deviation from the reference clock speeds.
The HD 7850 boards work at 860 MHz and 4.8 GHz for the GPU and 2 GB of VRAM, while the HD 7870 have them at 1 GHz/4.8 GHz.
In other words, the special coolers on the CoolStream cards are there only so that overclockers can more safely play around with their settings.
