Unknown to the west, Hong Kong-based graphics card manufacturer, AFOX, that caters to Far-East markets such as Japan, unveiled a new AMD Radeon HD 6850 1 GB graphics card that sports a single-slot design, and completely relies on the PCI Express slot for power. Most, if not all, Radeon HD 6850 graphics cards feature double-slot coolers, and require a 6-pin PCI-E power input, which is not the case with AFOX' new card.

The AF6850-1024D5S1 from AFOX features a red PCB, a black single slot cooler that covers all of the board's obverse side, and looks to feature a dense heatsink to which air is circulated by a blower. The card uses reference clock speeds of 775 MHz core, 1000 MHz (4.00 GHz GDDR5 effective) memory. The HD 6850 is rated by AMD to have 127W typical max power draw. It would be interesting to see how the card is managing to run the GPU with the slot's 75W. What's more, the card doesn't compromise in the display connectors department, packing one each of DVI, full-size HDMI 1.4a, full-size DisplayPort 1.2, and mini-DisplayPort 1.2. In Japan, the card is priced at 19,780 Yen, which converts to US $245.

is the pretty much the most capable single-slot video card currently available?

they never boosted the power from the slot. the updated specs boosted the power from the PCI-E cables only.

Nice, no power connector is best part.

Hope these get released west side as well, not necessarily by this manufacturer.

I don't know, if they manage the thermals right maybe no need. ( allow the card to run hot, but within spec)

6850s do run really cool after all, even with massive overclocks.

well at least if the card dies from the heat you can take the fan off it and replace the fan in your laptop with it :laugh::laugh:

I don't reference cards gaming power-draw is around 110w.(peak)

Undervolt + small downclock = win.

wouldnt one possibility be just using ram modules that run at lower volts? that'd drop the wattage fairly fast

They've all kinds of options, I personally don't think it be that hard to do considering how much lower you can get the powerdraw on a reference design card.
