HD 7850 with passive cooling from PowerColor.


Since the AMD and NVIDIA didn't present their new generation of graphic processors the manufacturers of graphic cards turn their way into modification of existing models which are based on existing chips.

PowerColor shared two photos of the upcoming Radeon HD 7850 SCS3 model. The cooler of new Radeon HD 7850 has three aluminum heat sinks, from which two are situated on the side. From the picture you can see that this cooler has up to six U-shaped heat pipes which interlace with the fin array throughout its length. For now PowerColor didn’t reveal any specifications but some people speculate that this card requires more than two array slots on the motherboard. Due to a tall construction of the cooler, this is a normal and necessary thing for the two efficient cooling solutions. From the pictures we can see that new graphic card will be equipped with three display outputs: DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort.

I think that AMD and NVIDIA made a right choice because there isn’t everything in performance. What I want to say is that cooling is important and the noise of the cooler. If you have a monster graphic card it you probably complain about the noise. No matter how far they go in development of graphic cards the decibels from the cooler are still big issue and are very important factor when you are buying a new card.
