Okay, pictures first. On this page you can see the PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 1GB SCS3 edition, a graphics card with 1GB graphics memory, not exactly huge.

Included with all cards will be a manual a demo and driver CD, power converters and monitor connector converters to get your multi-monitor freak on. Thye cooler immediately pops out alright, but that's mainly due to the red PCB. Seriously guys, come on .. who still uses red PCBs these days ?

We seThe close to 3 billion-transistor 28nm Pitcairn based core is tied to a massive 1 GB memory. This PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 card is clocked at a 860 MHz core frequency and the GDDR5 memory runs at 1200 MHz / 4.8 Gbps (effective data rate as GDDR5 has a quad data-rate, so effectively that quadruples that number), the memory bus is 256-bit. You can spot the passive cooler, the cooler itself is actually quite impressive in the sense of temperatures versus very low noise levels.

Remember this though, passive never is 100% passive as you will need a bity of airflow inside the PC chassis that moves away hot air. We'll look into cooling and temps in a tidbit. Here we can see the backside, the cards will fit pretty much any chassis. It's a custom design PCB all red.
