Sapphire has recently announced their new HD 7870 XT Dual-Fan graphics card. It’s based on AMD’s Tahiti architecture with a 256-bit memory interface, 1,280 stream processors, and 80 texture units. The card supports 2GB of GDDR5 memory which is clocked at 1500MHz (6GHz effective) and has a core clockspeed of 925MHz (With Boost: 975MHz). Their selling point is their Dual-X cooler technology, which consists of graduated heatpipes and two aerofoil fans with dust repelling bearings to keep your graphics cool and dust free.

Users will also be able to utilize Sapphire’s TriXX which allows tuning of GPU voltage as well as core and memory clocks. You can also manually control the fan speeds or create up to four different fan profiles for any desired performance. Below is a list specs this card offers. There is no pricing set on their main website but at the right price this graphics card could be a great buy for any PC enthusiast. Check out more here!
