14 DAY TRIAL // As you probably already know, AMD's next-generation Radeon HD 58xx series of graphics cards has been officially announced by the company just a couple of days ago, providing computer enthusiasts with a choice for the world's fastest single-GPU graphics card. Following the official introduction that came from AMD, a number of the chip maker's board partners have also announced the official debut of their Radeon HD 5xxx-series graphics cards, including PC designer Smoothcreations. Known as a custom painted, high-performance PC builder, the company has just introduced the Radeon HD 5870 1GB XOC Havoc graphics card, designed to enable a boost of graphics performance featuring AMD's latest GPU.
”We didn’t just want a fast card out in the market, we wanted the fastest card that could kick the living daylights and bust some performance records. And that’s exactly what our engineers accomplished,” said Mario Gastelum, director of product development and engineering at Smoothcreations.
Designed to enable support for Microsoft's next-generation DirectX 11 API, the new graphics card from Smoothcreations, the Radeon HD 5870 1GB XOC Havoc, has been featured with a graphics processing unit core speed of 950MHz, 1GB of GDDR5 memory, working at 5200MHz. That means that the card comes factory overclocked to enable a considerable boost of graphics performance, even compared to the reference design.
The card also sports a custom liquid-based cooling solution from Danger Den and enables computer users and high-performance enthusiasts to further push the limits of the GPU with increased core speeds and frequencies.
“We're proud to feature the AMD ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics processor in our award-winning custom PCs,” says Jim Saling, CEO and founder of Smoothcreations. “It's only fitting that the world's fastest GPU find its way into what has been hailed by editors all over America as the fastest gaming computers on the market.”
