Product Showcase
So it's time to have a closer look at the retail product. First off, above is the packaging so you know what to look for in the stores.
Above, you can spot the Radeon HD 6870 from HIS. The cooler is 100% custom, heatpipe based and overall very silent, but we'll show you that in our tests of course. Bundled are the basics like drivers, card, CrossfireX connector and molex to 6-pin PEG power converters.
The card is not at all reference, it comes with two DisplayPort 1.2 connectors, one HDMI 1.4a connector and two DVI connectors of which one is single and the other dual-link.
That's five connectors, four can be used in Eyefinity mode. Small tip - if you have a very high resolution monitor at 2560x1600 and connect your card to the single link connector, your resolution could be limited to ~1280x1024 or something close. Use the dual-link connector, and you'll have the full 2560x1600 resolution available. This of course only applies to the two DVI connectors.
