MSI is yet another AIB partner that will, and has announced its HD 5800 series cards today. MSI has decided to go with the simplest design with big white letters on the card cooler, which is probably the best way, as those pictures are just meaningless unless you come up with an unique solution, at least until non-reference cards start to show up.

The newly announced cards will have R5850-PM2D1G and R5870-PM2D1G model names will have 1600 and 1440 stream processors and will both be equipped with 1GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 256-bit memory interface. The HD 5870 works at 850 for the core and 4800MHz for the memory, while the HD 5850 is clocked at 725MHz for the core and 4000MHz for memory.

The HD 5870 card should hopefully show up in retail sometime during this week, while the HD 5850 will have to wait for October.
