Vertex3D, a quite young and fresh brand owned by the same guys (TUL Corp.) as Powercolor, has announced its first, non-reference cooled and overclocked graphics card. Better late than ever, these guys have launched a Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo cooled HD 4870 card.

The card works at 770MHz for the GPU, 3,600MHz for the 1GB of GDDR5 memory and comes with all the goodies that RV770 has to offer. Other noted specs include 256-bit memory interface, 800 stream processors, DirectX 10.1 and CrossfireX support, two DVI and TV-out outputs and, of course, a non-reference cooler.

The cooler is known as the Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo Pro and features four heatpipes and two 92mm fans. We are quite sure that this one does a great job in cooling a HD 4870 card but we are looking at a triple-slot design, which is quite painful most of the time.

Vertex3D hasn't yet announced the price or the release date. We guess that they had to start somewhere and the HD 4870 is not a bad start, as it's a very popular card with a good price/performance ratio.
