Video card maker Sapphire has announced the addition of the HD 3870 Ultimate to its lineup. Like the Sapphire HD 3850 Ultimate, the 3870 has a silent, fanless cooling system - albeit with a slightly more effective design. The 3870's passive cooler takes advantage of 4 heatpipes - instead of two found on the 3850 - which connect the GPU block to a large, finned heatsink on the card's backside. The HD 3870 Ultimate's particulars are a GPU core clocked at 775MHz, and 512MB GDDR4 memory that operates at 1125MHz. As with all HD 3870 video cards, the HD 3870 Ultimate is DirectX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1 compliant.
