On July 16th, PowerColor announced its first video card equipped with the Vortex cooler, which allows the user to manually adjust the fan a bit further from the card in order to get better airflow. According to the manufacturer, the Vortex cooler can cool down the temperature of the video card up to 15 °C when compared to the stock cooler. The card in question, dubbed PCS+ HD5770 Vortex Edition, is a factory-overclocked model. It works internally at 900 MHz (5.88% above the stock clock of 850 MHz), has 1 GB GDDR5 accessed at 4.9 GHz QDR (2.08% above the stock clock of 4.8 GHz QDR), and comes with DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort connectors. If you buy this card you’ll also get a coupon for free download of the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The PowerColor PCS+ HD5770 Vortex edition will be available on July 28th.
