MSI has today officially introduced its first Hawk series card, a custom, and slightly overclocked Radeon HD 5770. Seen below, the R5770 Hawk features a black PCB equipped with Military Class components (Hi-c CAP, solid state capacitors, and solid state inductors), a 7+1 phase design that provides 100% more current than reference cards, built-in voltage measurement points, and the dual-slot dual-fan Twin Frozr II cooling system which boasts three heatpipes.
MSI's DirectX 11-supporting card has a 850 MHz GPU clock (850 MHz stock), a 128-bit memory interface and 1GB of GDDR5 VRAM at 4800 MHz, 800 Stream Processors, CrossFireX support, as well as DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs for some nice ATI Eyefinity multi-monitor configurations. To get an idea of what the R5770 Hawk can do see the its first review which has been posted here. Expect MSI to release this card in the coming weeks at just under $200.
