TPU found pictures of a new Radeon HD 6870 from Yeston, you can view the R6870 Game Master
over here. The card ships with the stock clock speeds of 900MHz for the core and 4200MHz for the memory, but is designed for overclocking, it offers LFPAK MOSFETs, two NEC TOKIN Proadlizers, and a three-slot cooling solution.
Moving on to the cooling, Yeston gave the R6870 Game Master a zesty cooling assembly that spans three expansion slots. It uses a lateral-flow design with a blower pushing air through numerous aluminum channels where heat is dissipated to it. It appears like heat is conveyed to these channels using heat-pipes, and not a hot plate. As a nice cosmetic touch, Yeston gave the card a thick back-plate that is ridged. It helps reduce PCB bending and could assist heat dissipation just a little. Display outputs include two each of DVI and mini-DisplayPort, and one HDMI. Power is drawn from two 6-pin PCIe power connectors. Out now in the Chinese market, the Yeston R6870 Game Master is priced at 1,199 RMB (US $190).
