MSI has confirmed the release of a new GPU called R6870 Hawk, however the bigger news is the cooling system that it will use. MSI has adopted the Twin Frozr III cooling solution for this new GPU. The company also claims that with the new cooling system, the R6870 Hawk will be the fastest GPU yet.
The dual fans allow for more air flow to and from the GPU. MSI of course, is claiming that it was built with first class Military parts, a typical claim for most of their GPUs. The R6870 Hawk will have 930MHz core clockspeed, 1024MB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 4200MHz on a 256-bit bus. MSI has yet to release a price or a date.
MSI sounds pretty confident in this new GPU, let’s hope that it can stand up to claims. I suspect that it will be pretty pricey. I do wonder if the Twin Frozr III will become a common cooling system option for GPUs.
