TechPowerUp spotted Gigabyte's Radeon HD 5750 Silent Cell at Computex, a new passively cooled graphics card with a large aluminium fin ray and three copper heatpipes. The card takes up two slots and according to Gigabyte it should be up to 18°C cooler than the actively-cooled reference model.

Display outputs include dual DVI, DisplayPort and HDMI, and it can pair with any other Radeon HD 5700 series graphics card. The card draws all its power from the PCI-E slot. Like every other Radeon HD 5750 card, it has 720 stream processors, is DirectX 11 compliant, and uses 1 GB of GDDR5 memory across a 128-bit wide memory interface.
