Discussion On The ATI Radeon 5*** Series Before They Have Been Released Thread

The man has a point, the serial numbers are the same, which means that the image has been edited. Under no circumstances does a piece of tech have the same serial, at least not with PC components for sure.

In itself this means nothing, of course. For all we know these might be shopped by the distributors themselves. However, given the akihabara mark on the shots, I wouldn't give these much credence.

For me the most definitive proof of shopping is the fact that the text on the cards is off, its not on the same 'plane' as the surface of the card, slightly but noticeably.

Wonder if the 5870 SIX card runs cooler then the normal 5870 card ??

(Look how much more rear exhaust vent space there is on the 5870 SIX )
Click to expand...

I would expect that it didn't matter to be honest.

The air would just come out faster out of the smaller vent, aka venturi effect.

The same volume of air would pass through, it would just mean the smaller vent has less air coming through faster due to the narrower passage, the wider vent would have more air coming out slower.
