XFX HD5870 Black Edition Review

As we all know the reference HD5870 is a substantial video card and the Black Edition is no smaller.

As you can see from the image above XFX have a larger fan present and they have moved it into a centralised position – exactly as Sapphire did with their Toxic addition a while ago.

Even though this card has broken the ATI reference design, it still only takes two six pin power connections – sometimes with overclocked cards they can require a slightly higher power draw for stability. 1x6pin and 1x8pin for instance.

The rear of the card is home to two DVI, Displayport and HDMI connectors. The card can support 3 displays with resolutions up to 2560×1600.
