If one believes the current rumors, the first ATI Radeon HD 5800 not based on the original design should emerge next January. AMD NVIDIA as force their partners to use this design for some time after the release of a new graphics card. The Texan company is generally more flexible, allowing the release of modified version significantly faster than its Californian rival. In the case of its first DirectX 11 solutions, AMD has probably delayed the "second" launch because of very limited stocks of its flagship GPU. With an availability that is expected to rise to power in December, the arrival of Vapor-X Sapphire and other creative solutions during January makes sense.

Regarding the 5700 series, there is less worry and more manufacturers have already launched their solutions. Today HIS that there is a Radeon HD 5750 IceQ +. This graphics card uses, then, as all IceQ a heatpipe different from the original model. Few details on the latter but we can guess the presence of a large aluminum block in housing (UV Reactive) which is reminiscent of the Radeon HD 4870 & 4890. The unit is advertised as quieter as and more efficient than the original model. In this heat sink, we return to Juniper with its 720 stream processors and 1GB of GDDR5 connected via a bus 128 bits. The frequencies are those of origin, 700 MHz for core and 1150 MHz memory. The HIS provides DVI video outputs, HDMI and DisplayPort. In the bundle, we find the software Bumptop3D and a coupon to download DiRT 2. The ATI Radeon HD 5750 IceQ + will be sold only 139,95 € TTC (without coupon DiRT) and € 149.95 with VAT.
