 Card  Fan  Sapphire logo  Rear of card Sapphire has clocked the card at 850MHz, which is the same as the reference clock speed. The memory clock on the card is 1.2GHz which is 4.8GHz effective when taking GDDR5 memory into account (double GDDR3 memory bandwidth at the same clock speed). The HD 5870 has 1GB of memory on it, which is enough for most users.  Chip mount  ATI logo  PCI Express  Rear of cooler The card itself is a copy of the reference card with the Sapphire sticker on it. Starting at the cooler it is a full length cooler with a 47-fin cooling fan on the right side of the card. This fan blows air over the RV870 chip and through the front of the card. The Sapphire logo and the name of the card: Radeon HD 5870 is on the middle of the card. A female with Dred Locks is on the far left of the card.  Power  Crossfire  Top view  Bottom of card The rear of the card has two orange holes. These holes draw in cool air from outside the card through the fan to cool the graphics chip. The top of the card has two 6-pin power connectors that provide the card with the extra power that the PCI Express slot cannot give to bring the power to the maximum 188W in full tilt. There is also two Crossfire bridges that allow up to four HD 5870s to be installed in one system.  Front top down view  Rear top down view  Angled view  I/O The back of the card has the rear of the shroud, a departure from previous ATI cards that left the back of the card bare. The Sapphire HD 5870 has an interesting set of display connectors. The card has two DVI connectors which allow for up to two DVI monitors or two analog monitors to be installed with adapters. A HDMI port and a DisplayPort connector bring the total connectors to four. Note that Sapphire says the card can do Triple monitor gaming. Contents:
