Gigabyte HD 5870 SOC Review
A bit of a trend these days among ATI's partners selling Radeon HD 5870 cards is literally 'who's got the biggest e-peen'. It is very nice to see them push the limit further and further in producing the fastest pre-overclocked Radeon HD 5870, yes I am talking about OC (overclock) models which ATI apparently allows to be made nowadays.
We have seen models from HIS, MSI, PowerColor, ASUS and now Gigabyte is releasing an overclocked Radeon HD 5870 as well. Gigabyte did it properly I can already state, they overhauled the PCB, used first rate components, changed the cooling solutions and badabing badaboom... there it is. The Radeon HD 5870 SOC edition graphics card.
Gigabyte's Radeon HD 5870 SOC is not 'just' a pre-overclocked card, they are really serious about it. At default this card comes clocked at a 950 MHz core and the memory is purring steady at 5000 MHz, so that's another 100 MHz on that core and another 200 MHz on the memory......

Gigabyte HD 5870 Super Overclock Review
The dust has mostly settled from one of Nvidia's largest ever launches, the introduction of the GTX 480. However, whether due to popularity, a small initial production run -- or both -- the GTX 480, and to a lesser extent the GTX 470, had up until recently been very hard to come by in hardware stores, even up to about four weeks after the official launch of the product. But this situation is changing: the initial rush is over, and the GTX 480 is much easier to track down. For many people looking to get a new video card, that means that deciding between the green team and the red team has become a more interesting proposition.....

Gigabyte HD 5870 Super Overclock Review
Some people who demand the absolute best performance, want a little more than the stock 850MHz core speed reference HD5870's offer. Overclocking is a chancy business and often voids your warranty. We often see video cards with a paltry 25 - 50 MHz overclock hocked as OC models of various flavors. It's not often we see a GPU with a full 100MHz factory overclock.
Even less often do we see a 100MHz core overclock GPU with Dual inclined fans and an overclock utility like OC Guru that allows you to not only overclock but add up to 0.1v so you can overclock beyond the 950MHz speed the Gigabyte HD5870 Super Overclock offers from the factory......

Gigabyte HD 5870 Super Overclock Review
When intense gaming action demands absolute attention, the last thing anybody wants is noise distracting them. Gigabyte's Radeon HD 5870 Super Over Clock delivers top-level graphics performance for DirectX-11 video games with an 950MHz overclocked Cypress-XT GPU, and thanks to twin 80mm cooling fans this GV-R587SO-1GD model keeps noise whisper quiet. Priced at $500, the Gigabyte HD5870 SOC competes directly with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX-480. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the Gigabyte HD5870 SOC against some of the most powerful video cards on the market.
That is likely the most BIASED review I have ever read... I noticed the numbers were quiet off.... But reading the power consumption kinda busted them....Quote:

^interesting article, but would liked to have seen max stable OC on a game, not furmark. even if overvoltage protection kicked in during a game, u should still be able to play, just at reduced framerate, which would have been noticed. however it also shows that more cooling on vrms is still needed
I wonder where they could get the bios for the gigabyte 5870 SOC?
