Top Video Card: MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II e R6870 Twin Frozr II/OC

MSI ha lanciato di recente la nuova linea di video card high-end R6870 Twin Frozr II, che al momento include due prodotti denominati R6870 Twin Frozr II e R6870 Twin Frozr II/OC. Entrambi sono basati sulla gpu AMD "Barts" a 40nm, aka Radeon HD6870, e sono equipaggiati con 1GB di RAM G-DDR5.

A differenziare le due R6870 Twin Frozr II di MSI è essenzialmente la frequenza di clock del core grafico, che è pari a 900Mhz nel caso della edizione standard e a 920MHz nel caso di quella OC. E' evidente, quindi, che pur essendo entrambe prodotti orientati all'overclock, la R6870 Twin Frozr II/OC è anche una scheda "overclocked by factory". La frequenza di clock della memoria locale, implementata con il ricorso a 1GB di G-DDR5, è pari invece a 4200MHz (valore effettivo) nei due casi.

Il punto di forza delle due Radeon è certamente rappresentato dal sistema di raffreddamento, un cooler a doppia ventola Twin Frozr II che, rispetto alla soluzione reference prevista per la Radeon HD6870, è in grado non soltanto di ridurre la temperatura operativa di 19°C ma anche di assicurare un livello di rumore inferiore di un delta pari a ben 12.8dB.

Inoltre, le schede solo realizzate con l'impiego di componenti discreti di elevata qualità, come i condensatori, tutti a stato solido, che assicurano non soltanto maggiore stabilità in regime di overclock, ovvero in fase di operatività con potenze elevate, ma anche una maggiore longevità dell'hardware rispetto alle soluzioni reference.

Tra le tecnologie supportate dalle R6870 Twin Frozr II citiamo Eyefinity Technology per il multi-display, mediante la quale ciascuna card può controllare fino a quattro monitor. Le uscite video sono compatibili con DisplayPort 1.2 e HDMI 1.4a, e dunque supportano i video in 3D e l'audio a 7.1 canali in formato TrueHD e DTS-HD.

Internationally renowned graphics card and mainboard manufacturer MSI announces today the R6870 Twin Frozr II graphics card. It is equipped with the latest 40nm AMD Radeon HD6870 GPU, IGB GDDR5 high-speed graphics memory, and the award-winning Twin Frozr II thermal solution. As a result, the operating temperature and noise of the R6870 Twin Frozr II are reduced by 19°C and 12.8dB respectively (versus the reference design). Also, the overvoltage function from the MSI-exclusive Afterburner software further enhances the OC potential of the Barts GPU, and AMD’s Eyefinity Technology provides optimal multi-display 2D/3D output for gaming, productivity and entertainment. Along with the super reliable Solid CAPs which prolong product life and enhance product stability and quality, the R6870 Twin Frozr II is the best choice ever for power users looking for graphics cards with ultimate performance and low operating temperature.

Esclusive Twin Frozr II thermal solution maintains perfect balance between cooling and noise control
The Twin Frozr II found on the R6870 Twin Frozr II consists of a large-area copper base heat-sink with high density radiation fins, dual 8cm temperature-controlled PWM fans, and five heat-pipes to increase airflow and enhance heat conductivity for the GPU and neighboring components. In addition to the superb cooling effect, it is quiet! Under full load, the Twin Frozr II cooler reduces temperature and noise by 19°C and 12.8dB respectively versus the reference design. By design, the R6870 Twin Frozr II is the industry-first graphics card that achieves a perfect balance between thermal solution and noise reduction.

Support for Afterburner overvoltage function to unleash display performance
In terms of software support, the R6870 Twin Frozr II supports the MSI-exclusive Afterburner OC software designed for instantaneous GPU and memory clock adjustments and advanced fan speed control. Users can even save up to 5 OC profiles of their own for gaming, productivity and entertainment. With the Afterburner, users can further adjust the GPU voltage to break through the limit of GPU and thereby unleash the power and performance of graphics cards. The Afterburner can also monitor the GPU temperature and fan speed for power users to totally control their graphics cards.

AMD Eyefinity and 3D Video
The R6870 Twin Frozr II is equipped with the AMD-exclusive Eyefinity Technology for multi-display, supporting up to four screens*. DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4a (which support 3D video and 7.1-channel lossless TrueHD and DTS-HD audio formats) help provide consumers with the most exciting audio/visual fun.

All Solid Caps maximize lifespan
Insisting on providing consumers with the best quality, the R6870 Twin Frozr II is made with all Solid CAPs. Apart from the extra long lifespan, they can maintain high stability even in high workload for consumers to experience the best performance and ultimate quality in MSI graphics performance.
