Alleged HD 5670 tips up
Not quite as big as a real Redwood
Images of what is supposedly ATI's low-end Redwood DirectX 11 have popped up on Hardforum.com.
The HD 5670 apparently has 400 shaders, 16 ROPs, a fillrate of 103.3 GTexels/s and 64GB/s of bandwidth. It sports 1GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus. The memory is clocked at 1000MHz (4000MHz effective), while the 40nm GPU ticks at 775MHz. Please take the spec with a grain of salt, as we are still unable to confirm it.
The card itself looks quite compact and the copper cooler is somewhat reminiscent of ThermalTake designs. We are still not sure about pricing or availability, but we're expecting a sub-$100 MSRP and an early Q1 launch, just in time to make Nvidia's life a bit harder.
