The Card
HIS is introducing their fifth generation iCooler thermal assembly with this card. It looks great, even though it is certainly not as nice as the AMD reference coolers of the HD 5000 Series.
Just like the reference design cards, you need two slots in your system for installation.
The card has two DVI ports, one HDMI port, and one DisplayPort. This configuration seems to make the max out of the available space, and also leaves a hole in the slot for air to escape.
All of AMD's recent card feature an integrated sound device that has been upgraded to support HDMI 1.3a which includes Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, AC-3, DTS and up to 7.1 channel audio with 192 kHz / 24-bit.
CrossFire configurations with up to four cards are supported, you may also mix cards from different vendors in your CrossFire setup.
Here are the front and the back of the card, high-res versions are also available (front, back). If you choose to use these images for voltmods etc, please include a link back to this site or let us post your article.
