reports AMD is planning to release the Radeon HD 5570 graphics card on February 9th, this new DX11 budget card should sell for around 50-60EUR. It's similar to the Radeon HD 5670, but with lower clockspeeds and slower memory.
According to the leaked slides, the HD 5570 card features 40nm GPU with 627M transistors and 400 Stream processors. It has 8 ROPs, 20 texture units, 650MHz core clock and uses DDR3 memory clocked at 900MHz (1.8GHz) paired up with a 128-bit memory interface.
Thanks to the the lower clocks the maximum TDP is 42.7W, while in idle the card's power consumption is 9.69W. The reference solution is based on a low profile PCB with small heatsink and fan combination cooler, but we guess that partners will go for their own solutions and we will probably see quite a few passive cards.
