Impresionante 6850 Silent de PowerColor

El incremento en el rendimiento, conlleva a un incremento en el consumo y por ende, en la cantidad de calor disipada por las placas de video, en mayor o menor medida, depende de su diseño y del diseño de la solución térmica. Para solucionar el factor ruido, Powercolor presenta esta placa de gama media-alta, en donde implementa un gran disipador, que se vale únicamente del flujo de aire circulante en el gabinete para cumplir su trabajo. Lo notable es la categoría de la placa, ya que bien éstas soluciones, son fáciles de implementar en placas de menor orden. Bien por PowerColor!

PowerColor Readies First Passive-Cooled HD 6850 Graphics Card

PowerColor is readying the first AMD Radeon HD 6850 graphics card that features a passive cooler, a completely silent cooling solution. The company is currently evaluating a new design that makes use of a large GPU heatsink featuring an aluminum fin array that ensures the card occupies just two expansion slots, while adding surface area by propagating to the top of the card, in an L-shape. The heatsink uses no less than five heat pipes to convey heat to the fins. PowerColor's card will be branded under the company's "SCS3" line of silent graphics cards. Based on the 40 nm "Barts" silicon, the AMD Radeon HD 6850 features 960 stream processors, and 1 GB of GDDR5 memory over a 256-bit wide memory interface. Availability and pricing is unknown as the design is yet to be finalized.
