PowerColor unveils its watercooled Radeon HD 5870

As promised earlier this month, PowerColor is releasing a watercooling-ready Radeon HD 5870 equipped with a waterblock from EK. Officially dubbed LCS HD5870, the card has been announced today and, as you can see below, it's looking good. The EK copper-made block installed has support for 3/8" and 1/2" fittings, while the card's GPU and memory clocks were upped from the standard 850/4800 MHz, to 875/5000 MHz. Cooling solution and factory overclock aside, the model packs 1600 Stream Processors, has a 256-bit memory interface and 1GB of GDDR5 VRAM, is DirectX 11-ready, and includes support for CrossFireX and the ATI Eyefinity multi-monitor feature. The LCS HD5870 is bundled with a coupon for the download of Dirt 2 (when it becomes available in December) and is set to hit stores next week on November 6th.
