The new card has been featured with a factory-overclocked 40nm GPU that works at 875MHz, compared to the stock frequency of 850MHz. The 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 memory has also been upped to 1250MHz, consequently providing users with a slight boost in performance, when compared to reference models.

“The most efficient cooling solution should pack with the most powerful GPU,” said CEO of TUL Corporation, Ted Chen. “Having the partnership with EK, the LCS HD 5870 can work impressively in a cool and stable operating environment — it’s the card, which is designed to fulfill the true gamers [sic]!”

The card has been featured with the EK copper-made block, which has support for 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch fittings, a design feature that is said to allow for the maximization of the water flow. In addition, the liquid-cooling solution is conceived to fully cover the card's memory and power regulator chip, enabling a highly-efficient cooling environment for AMD's flagship graphics card.

Although no details on the pricing and availability of the new card have yet been provided, it is expected to ship with a dual-DVI/HDMI and DisplayPort interface, as well as a bundled DIRT2 full game.
