Yeston Designs Radeon HD 5770 X2 Graphics Card

Now that AMD seems to have given the 40 nm Juniper GPU (on which are based the Radeon HD 5700 series models) a new lease of life, manufacturers can continue to get innovative with the Radeon HD 5770 GPU. One such board partner, Yeston, designed a Radeon HD 5770 X2 graphics card, which simply put, is a dual-GPU graphics accelerator that makes use of two Radeon HD 5770 GPUs, each with its own 1 GB of GDDR5 memory, that share the PCI-Express interface using a PLX-made bridge chip (perhaps the same one used on the Radeon HD 5970).

The PCB holds both GPUs on the obverse side, the PCI-Express bridge chip on the reverse side, and memory chips on both sides. A 4+1 phase VRM is used, additional power is drawn in from just one 6-pin PCI-E power connector. Both GPUs work in tandem via an internal CrossFire interface, it can pair with another Juniper-based graphics card for 3-GPU or 4-GPU CrossFireX. The duo are cooled by a large heatsink, air is circulated by two 90 mm fans. AMD reference clock speeds (for the Radeon HD 5770) of 850 MHz core, and 1200 MHz (4800 MHz GDDR5 effective) memory are used. Display connectivity includes two DVI, one HDMI, and a DisplayPort. Knowing Yeston's reach, it's not very likely that this card will be sold in the US more towards the Asian market.

Just to give you a slight idea how to HD5770's run here a sample benchmark from legion hardware



Expect a much better scaling since both gpus communicates on a single pcb instead across the pci-e lanes ( HD5770 in crossfire ) reducing latency.

it's wonderful to hear amd still making the most out of 5000 series..^_^..

simple design,yet elegant...

one 6 pin pcie connector...i think this means that theres not much power increase involve in this innovative design.... tulo laway...pila kaha ni inig abot ani dri...

mahal2 jud na!!!!

the question IS: what will be this card comparable to - performance wise. It will ultimately boil down to price/performance if this card will really be worth it. Nice to see this though.

palit ka duha ani unya i crossfire pagud... mora na ug quad core gpu

palit ka duha ani unya i SLI pagud... mora na ug quad core gpu

crossfire man bai..its an ati GPU..hehehe


@TS
nice find bro..hehehe..
makalaway..hehehe

Two HD5770s in crossfire performance on par if not faster than the HD4870x2 and HD5870. Expect a much better scaling since both gpus communicate on a single pcb instead across the pci-e lanes ( HD5770 in crossfire ) reducing latency.

up ko ani....
nice nice very nice find.. ganahan nasad ko mo palit ani !
