Sapphire has announced yet another member of its Toxic HD 5800 series, the HD 5850 with 2GB of memory. Like all cards in the series, this card also features a dual-slot Vapor-X cooler and has a slight factory overclock.
In addition to more memory, the new Sapphire HD 5850 Toxic still features 1440 stream processors and has a slight factory overclock with a 765MHz GPU clock. It features 2GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 4500MHz. Note that the reference card ticks at 725MHz and 4000MHz. The Vapor-X cooler has a center placed fan and should be quieter and more efficient than the one found on the reference card.
The new HD 5850 Toxic 2GB has support for DirectX 11, has a 256-bit memory interface and feature two dual-DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.
The new card should be available sometime next week, with a price that should be somewhere around €300, while the 1GB version is currently listed at around €270 to €280.
