Abstract: Why buy a standard model when you can get the top-of-the-line? Treat yourself to the good stuff! We take three premium graphics cards for a spin ......
The only 1GHz GPU we've seen is the Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 1GB Atomic, and even that has been withdrawn as there wasn't a sufficient supply of fast enough GPUs that Sapphire could use. We had hoped that the Gigabyte SOC would become the second 1GHz GPU t...
Abstract: Gigabyte GV-R587SO-1GD is an excellent solution. The combination of factory overclocking with a highly efficient cooler yields a great result. There's just one thing: that's not a unique advantage of GV-R587SO-1GD, this is relevant to all Radeon HD 5870 products. The 100MHz increase in core clock rate gives jus..
The GIGABYTE HD 5870 Super Overclock Edition provides the best out-of-box experience we have seen yet. With the GPU and memory frequencies operating well above standard Radeon HD 5870 frequencies your gameplay performance advantages will be real. If yo...
Abstract: Last but not least we have Gigabyte’s top-end custom card, the 5870 Super Overclock. If the Sapphire Toxic is a card for buyers that just want a factory overclocked card, and the MSI Lightning is a card for serious overclockers, then the 5870 Super Ove...
After a grueling battle that really did go the full twelve rounds, the epic bout between the Radeon HD 5870 and the Geforce GTX 480 comes down to a split decision. Both videocards have excellent gaming performance, and in older games especially the Ge...

Factory OC, Good Performance, DX11, Dual Inclined Fans, Voltage Adjustment, Voltage Measurement Point, Gauntlet Core Sorting, Samsung/Hynix Tier one memory, OC Guru Software
Not the top performing single core GPU.
We like the Gigabyte HD5870 SOC and it represents an alternative for people that want an overclocked GPU but don't want to hassle with OCing one themselves, or prefer to keep their warranty intact legitimately. The HD5870 SOC also had a dual inclined ...
The Gigabyte HD 5870 Super Overclock left good impression on us. First off, perhaps the most important thing, the performance: the sizable overclock has boosted the HD 5870 almost into a hypothetical HD 5890's performance level: across more than 75% o...
Terrific... yeah this is a wonderful product. As IF the standard Radeon HD 5870 wasn't already fast enough Gigabyte ups the ante a little more by increasing the base and memory clocks even further, and not a little. That is a spicy pre-overclocked gra...
