The VisionTek Killer HD arrives in a white and red accented box, resplendent with WarHammer 40,000: Dawn Of War 2 graphics.
The bundle contains a video converter, power adapter cable, Crossfire connector and software disc, with drivers for both the graphics card and Killer E2100 networking adapter. Official AMD drivers also fully support the graphics hardware.
The card is supplied with a custom cooler and a Killer HD5770/Dawn Of War 2 sticker. If you look carefully under the raised cooler the Killer Nic chip can be seen.
The memory on the card is Elpida W1032BABG which is rated at 1ns with speeds up to 5.0Gbps.
The card features two dual link DVI-I ports, single HDMI with audio support, and a 10/100/1000 LAN connection. The card requires a single 6 pin PCIe connector for power.
The cooler is substantial with aluminum fins protruding from the copper base.
The card is based around a traditional red PCB with the Juniper core offset to the right of the board design, leaving room for the KillerNic E2100 to the left. The PCB design is very clean with good placement, allowing the large fan to cool all the components.
The card is clocked at AMD's recommended reference speeds. 850mhz on the core and 1200mhz (4800mhz effective) via the GDDR5 memory. This memory interface is 128bit.
Above, we can see the VisionTek Killer HD5770 positioned next to the Bigfoot Killer 2100 NIC. It certainly is a space saving feature to have it embedded into the graphics card.
