It features a 9mm full-cover copper waterblock made by Aqua Computer that keeps the GPU well cooled while ticking at 873MHz for the GPU, 1746MHz for shaders and 4104MHz for 1536MB of GDDR5 memory.

The GPU ticks at 900MHz while the 2GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with 256-bit memory interface works at 4200MHz. It is good that Powercolor decided to strap it with additional 1GB of memory due to the fact that higher resolutions usually need more memory. The I/O panel offers six mini DisplayPort outputs.</span><br /> <br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The card is cooled by Powercolor's dual-slot non-reference cooler with a central fan and the card needs two PCI-Express 6-pin connectors.

With Dynamic Memory, an enhancement to Hyper-V™ introduced in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, organizations can now make the most efficient use of available physical memory, allowing them to realize the greatest possible potential from their virtualization resources. Dynamic Memory allows for memory on a host machine to be pooled and dynamically distributed to virtual machines as necessary. Memory is dynamically added or removed based on current workloads, and is done so without service interruption.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Virtual machines running a wide variety of operating systems can use Dynamic Memory; for a complete list, see the “Dynamic Memory Evaluation Guide” at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=192444. The guide also discusses Dynamic Memory settings and usage in detail.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Microsoft RemoteFX</span></strong></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Businesses are increasingly looking to leverage the efficiency and cost savings that can come from a virtualized desktop infrastructure. With the addition of Microsoft RemoteFX in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, a new set of remote user experience capabilities that enable a media-rich user environment for virtual desktops, session-based desktops and remote applications is introduced. Harnessing the power of virtualized graphics resources, RemoteFX can be deployed to a range of thick and thin client devices, enabling cost-effective, local-like access to graphics-intensive applications and a broad array of end user peripherals, improving productivity of remote users.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">RemoteFX can function independently from specific graphics stacks and supports any screen content, including today’s most advanced applications and rich content (including Silverlight and Adobe Flash), ensuring that end users maintain a rich, local-like desktop experience even in a virtualized thin-client environment.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">RemoteFX also adds mainstream USB device support to virtual desktop computing, including support for USB drives, cameras and PDAs connected to the client device. RemoteFX also provides a platform for hardware and software partners to enhance RemoteFX capabilities in a variety of possible host, client and network configurations.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">To use RemoteFX, the virtualization server must be running Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1, the virtual machine must be running Windows 7 Enterprise with SP1 or Windows 7 Ultimate with SP1, and the remote client computer must be running either Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 or Windows 7 with SP1. To connect to the virtual machine, the remote client computer requires an updated version of Remote Desktop Services (included in the service pack for all editions of Windows 7).</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Enhancements to scalability and high availability when using DirectAccess</span></strong></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">DirectAccess is a new feature in the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems that gives users the experience of being seamlessly connected to their corporate network any time they have Internet access. In Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, improvements have been made to enhance scalability and high availability when using DirectAccess, through the addition of support for 6to4 and ISATAP addresses when using DirectAccess in conjunction with Network Load Balancing (NLB).</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Support for Managed Service Accounts (MSAs) in secure branch office scenarios</span></strong></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">SP1 enables enhanced support for managed service accounts (MSAs) to be used on domain-member services located in perimeter networks (also known as DMZs or extranets).</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Support for increased volume of authentication traffic on domain controllers connected to high-latency networks</span></strong></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As a greater volume of IT infrastructure migrates to cloud-based services, there is a need for higher thresholds of authentication traffic to domain controllers located on high-latency networks (such as the public Internet). SP1 allows for more granular control of the maximum number of possible concurrent connections to a domain controller, enabling a greater degree of performance tuning for service providers.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Enhancements to Failover Clustering with Storage</span></strong></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">SP1 enables enhanced support for how Failover Clustering works with storage that is not visible for all cluster nodes. In SP1, improvements have been made to the Cluster Validation and multiple Failover Cluster Manager wizards to allow workloads to use disks that are shared between a subset of cluster nodes.</span></div><h3 style="font: normal normal bold 16px/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Changes specific to Windows 7</span></strong></h3><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Additional support for communication with third-party federation services</span></strong></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Additional support has been added to allow Windows 7 clients to effectively communicate with third-party identity federation services (those supporting the WS-Federation passive profile protocol).

Featuring a factory overclocked Barts XT GPU, the R6870 Hawk also comes with MSI's Twin Frozr III cooler paired up with new Propeller Blade fans.<br /> <br /> The new R6870 Hawk is anything but reference as it features an improved 8+2-phase design for some additional overclocking, MSI's Military Class II components including Super Ferrite Chokes, Hi-C CAPs, Solid Capacitors, APS (Active Phase Switching) technology for phase control, voltage check points and OCP (Over Current Protection) unlocker for some extreme overclocking adventures.<br /> <br /> Specs wise, the card still features 1120 stream processors and 1GB of GDDR5 memory. MSI went with a slight factory overclock to 930MHz for the GPU and 4200MHz for memory but due to the spec list we are quite sure that the card can go even higher. It features two DVI, HDMI and two mini DisplayPort outputs.<br /> <br /> The MSI Twin Frozr III cooler has five heatpipes (two 8mm ones), nickel-plated copper base and a rather large heatsink that is cooled by two 80mm fans with a new Propeller Blade design. According to MSI, the cooler should be up to 7dB quieter, 21 degrees cooler, with up to 20 percent more airflow thanks to the fan-blade design. Another interesting feature is the switch that changes the fan mode from Performance to Silent and vice versa.</span></span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal;"></span></span></span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The new R6870 Hawk is already listed at our price search engine and it can be found for as low as €218,64. </span></span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfSis8Bav9FITTS8l7sqWaVBBfhOUYFQQzXvgizR4wVgu1vZDMQptiAbRHbEWvNBVxm35Tt1rZTsTMNv2vhjolEQZwpdC2nHw3eCoyPHbKxHJbwlglT2C81SGNJ4ijS6GDAQ707LipDom8/s1600/msi_r6870hawk_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfSis8Bav9FITTS8l7sqWaVBBfhOUYFQQzXvgizR4wVgu1vZDMQptiAbRHbEWvNBVxm35Tt1rZTsTMNv2vhjolEQZwpdC2nHw3eCoyPHbKxHJbwlglT2C81SGNJ4ijS6GDAQ707LipDom8/s1600/msi_r6870hawk_1.jpg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>MSI Radeon HD 6870 Hawk</i></td></tr> </tbody></table>

It'll also cost up to $700 million (£435 million) to repair and replace all of the affected chipsets already on the market. Effectively Intel will loss a total of $1 billion.</span></div>
