A Taiwanese firm named XXX was showing off some single-slot ATI Radeon HD 5770 and 5830 graphics cards at Computex. These slender cards feature a heatsink that extends beyond the length of the cards' PCBs, but it's unknown how noisy that little fan will be. Unfortunately, most of us won't be able to find out because XXX only sells in Asia.
In order to cool the GPU, the heatsink extends beyond the length of both cards' PCBs, and we think the thin fans would need to spin quite fast to create enough airflow, but it's still impressive to see such powerful single slot graphics cards.
