MSI Release The MSI Radeon HD 5770 HAWX Graphics Card With Military Components

Posted by on February 1, 2011. Computer Stuff, Motherboard, Processors, VGA - No Comments

MSI is releasing the HD R5770 Hawk graphics card, which is based on the ATI Radeon HD 5770 GPU. This new card comes with top-of-the-line military class components, a 7+1 phase unit and a Twin Frozr II GPU
cooler. If any of these features sound familiar, it’s because many of these high-end components found on the Hawk series were introduced with MSI’s Lightning series of graphics cards that hit store shelves last year. The Lighting series used the same military class components and cooling solution, making it highly regarded in the enthusiast market. The only problem with the Lightning series though, was that all the cards released in the series were based on high-end NVIDIA graphics cards, which left ATI out in the cold. With that no longer
being the case, the migration of these features to ATI’s graphics cards is very welcome. With such high quality components on a card that has already proven itself to be a great overclocker, it really increases its chance to surpass other graphics cards built on the same core. Add to this though, the ability to adjust the GPU voltage from stock levels up to 1.35V with the use of a on-board voltage regulator and MSI’s Afterburner overclocking tool could make this a HD 5770 that can go further than any other before it.

Hardware ATI Radeon HD 5770 XT or the so-called uniper will be the first card entering HAWX family. Graphics Card MSI ATI Radeon HD 5770 has a component of a good and promising more headroom for overclocking. To cool the GPU, ATI Radeon HD 5770 HAWX will support the design cooling temperature Frozr Twin II.
HAWX MSI Radeon HD 5770 features a stream processor 800, support 128-bit GDDR5 memory, and provide checkpoints to measure voltage vGPU (GPU voltage) and vMEM (memory voltage). To connect an external
display for technology support Eyefinity, MSI graphics card Radeon HD 5770 HAWX features 3 ports, the DVI-D, HDMI and DisplayPort.
The MSI HD R5770 has more than enough ports to satisfy most users.
There is a DisplayPort and DL-DVI-I port that are both capable of running at 2560 x 1600, and there is also an on-board HDMI port that has a max display of 1920 x 1200 and comes with Dolby TrueHD and DTSHD
Master Audio Support. With the use of these ports, the HD R5770 Hawk can run up to three monitors utilizing ATI’s Eyefinity technology, with a max resolution of 5670 x 1200 spanning the three screens.
Missing, however, is the dual DVI-I configuration found on other HD 5770 graphics cards. This could make setting up Eyefinity a bit more complicated than other cards on the market that use dual ports.
Turning to the back you can see the HD R5770 Hawk requires the use of an additional power source beyond that of the PCIe slot, this additional power is supplied by a single 6-pin power adapter that is situated under the rear portion of the heatsink. Even with the extra needed power connection, the HD R5770 Hawk is not an excessively power hungry and MSI has the card running at around 120 watts while at full load.
The HD R5770 Hawk uses the Juniper (RV840) core, which comes with rather impressive specifications considering it is a mid-range product. The Juniper core is built on 40nm technology, has 800 packed-in Stream Processors, 1.4 billion transistors, 16 ROP units and 40 texture units. The core comes clocked at 875MHz, which is 25MHz faster than the reference models, and there is 1GB GDDR5 memory rated at 1200MHz. The memory uses a 128-bit memory bus, which is half the bandwidth of the more expensive ATI cards, but the effects of this reduction should be minimal with the use of fast GDDR5 memory. The HD
R5770 Hawk has eight total memory chips that are manufactured by Samsung, with the model number K4G10325FE-HC04, which seems to be the standard for ATI’s 5-series cards. To get a better look at the GPU
core and memory, I removed the heatsink and once off you can really see the quality of this card. It has all solid military class components as well as the use of the 7+1 phase design to supply better current throughout the card. The use of these high quality parts should greatly increase the stability, durability, and overclocking potential of HD R5770 Hawk graphics card.
