Although only a few days left before the date of 5 April 2011 a time when AMD will officially introduce the Radeon HD 6790, but the first picture from the graphics card seems to have started popping up thanks to the presence of several high-resolution photos Sapphire HD 6790 recently.
When examined from the existence of this Sapphire product, the more obvious if the AMD is likely to reuse the same cooling solution to what is used for some models made by previous AMD Radeon HD 6870 and Radeon HD 6850.
To improve the cooling process, this graphics card uses two large diameter heatpipe to suck the heat out of Barts LE GPUs and then an aluminum heatsink that is cooled by a large diameter fan which is placed right in the middle of rolls of black plastic.
Thus, Sapphire graphics card is able to provide better performance in dealing with hot temperatures and noise that often occurs on AMD products over the years.
On the other hand, the existence of a video card made by AMD which will be coming soon is reportedly going to be supported by the Barts LE packing core with 800 stream processors, 40 Texturing units, 32 ROP units and 256-bit memory interface and 1GB video frame buffer. Operational frequency of this card has also been set at 840MHz for the GPU and 1050MHz (4200MHz effective) for GDDR5 memory.
In addition to this new clock setting will improve the performance of graphics cards, the course also will encourage greater consumption of electricity is earlier than his brother were present. While this graphics card has a TDP of 150W. No other details about the Sapphire Radeon HD 6790, apart from images that are available today.
As stated earlier, the AMD Radeon HD 6790 is reportedly about to be released soon and available on the market starting April 5, 2011. And according to the publication of ComputerBase, the price of this graphics card will reportedly be priced at 130 USD. 20 USD is certainly much cheaper than the price offered by Nvidia GTX 550 Ti.
