Powercolor makes the Radeon RX 5700 in a compact Mini ITX format

This summer’s launch of the brand new architecture Radeon DNA (RDNA) from AMD was followed in the autumn by a wide range of graphics cards from partner manufacturers. This applies not least to the company’s closest partner manufacturer. One of these is Powercolor, which is now expanding its range with a shrunken Radeon RX 5700.

Powercolor’s new model is briefly called Radeon RX 5700 ITX and as the name suggests, it is a compact story. The graphics card takes up two expansion slots and measures in at 175 × 110 × 40 millimeters, which means that the length of the graphics card is slightly over a Mini ITX motherboard 170 millimeters.

In terms of design, the graphics card has a matte black cover with a single fan. This blows down against a cooling flange in aluminum with a total of four heat conduction pipes of 6 millimeters, which have contact with the graphics circuit itself. At the rear there are three picture connections – one HDMI 2.0 and two Displayport 1.4.

With compact dimensions and cooler, Powercolor has chosen to deliver the graphics card without any factory overclocking. The 2,304 stream processors thus have a base frequency of 1,465 MHz with a playing frequency of 1,625 MHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 1,725 ​​MHz. On the memory front, it is about 8 GB GDDR6 at 14,000 MHz for a theoretical bandwidth of 448 GB / s.

While AMD’s full-size reference design is equipped with two power connectors, a 6-pin and an 8-pin, the Powercolor ITX variant only comes with the latter. This means a maximum power output of up to 225 W according to the ATX standard, while the Radeon RX 5700 has a specified Typical Board Power (TBP) of 180 W.

Powercolor Radeon RX 5700 ITX is for sale in Japan and is according to the Japanese publication Hermitage Akihabara exclusive to the country. SweClockers is looking for Powercolor to see if the model can appear in Sweden as well.
