Gigabyte HD 5870 Super Overclock Edition review

AMD's best performing single chip GPU, the Radeon HD 5870, isn't quite a match for NVIDIA's bellwether, the GeForce GTX 480.If you want comparable performance from a high end AMD-based card, you have two options. Either stick two chips on one board for instant Crossfire mode, like the Radeon HD 5970, or overclock the hell out of a hand-picked HD 5870.Gigabyte's Super Overclock HD 5870 is, as the name suggests, an example of the latter method. With a clear 100MHz, or 11.7%, added onto the core speed of a stock Radeon HD 5870, this is an ambitious card with ideas way above its station. An elegant set of heatpipes helps to keep it cool at these extreme speeds, and if you want to push it further, there's a set of volt reading contact points on the PCB for the compulsive tweaker. It had better deliver on its promise, though, since it costs the same price as the GTX 480 it hopes to unseat. At their factory speeds, the ASUS RoG Matrix HD 5870 is 50MHz slower than the Gigabyte bad boy, and accordingly this is the fastest HD 5870 we've yet tested. It's right on the limit of what it can do, though, and still not a match for a GTX 480.

Gigabyte HD5870 Super Overclock

Some people who demand the absolute best performance, want a little more than the stock 850MHz core speed reference HD5870's offer. Overclocking is a chancy business and often voids your warranty. We often see video cards with a paltry 25 - 50 MHz overclock hocked as OC models of various flavors. It's not often we see a GPU with a full 100MHz factory overclock. Even less often do we see a 100MHz core overclock GPU with Dual inclined fans and an overclock utility like OC Guru that allows you to not only overclock but add up to 0.1v so you can overclock beyond the 950MHz speed the Gigabyte HD5870 Super Overclock offers from the factory. Yes you read it right, 950MHz Core Speed, dual inclined fans, Gauntlet Sorting on the Core, Samsung or Hynix Tier one memory, and OC Guru with Voltage control. It just doesn't get any better than this for the 5870 series. With the Dual inclined fans and all copper heatpipes the Gigabyte HD5870 Super Overclock is far from your normal HD5870 and it's one of the best designs we've seen for cooling and overclocking on Air. No whiny fan, no need to aftermarket cool, no worrying about voiding the warranty.

ATI Radeon HD 5870 Overclocked Round-up

The first HD 5870 is from Taiwan based hardware manufacturer, Gigabyte Technology. Well known for their motherboards, Gigabyte has expanded their product line up to include cases, coolers, power supplies, notebooks, and peripherals as well as graphics cards. During the past couple of years, we have seen a steady stream of reference and overclocked versions of videocards from both ATI and NVIDIA featuring Gigabyte logos. And here we get our hands on the latest release from the Super Overclock line. Gigabyte offers three different models based on the HD 5870, the fastest being the Super Overclock model. This card holds the title of being the fastest HD 5870 in production. It achieves this milestone by raising GPU core clock frequency to a blazing 950 MHz, with memory at 1250 MHz. With respect to GPU speed, the Super Overclock is 50 MHz faster than the other two cards in this round up. We fully expect it to take the pole position in the benchmarks for this reason alone. The Super Overclock HD 5870 features a dual slot cooler with two fans angled away from one another.
