Special thanks to Sapphire for providing us with the ATI Radeon HD 5670 1GB Video Card to review! ![]() Read on to check out the Sapphire Radeon HD 5670! Today I will be looking at the top of the line HD 5670, which has a full gig of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1000mHz. Sapphire has built three versions of the HD 5670, a 1GB model and two 512MB models. On January 14, 2010, they released the first of the mainstream cards of that series, the Radeon HD 5670, sporting the 40nm process, with 400 streaming processors and a 775mHz clock. Having had no previous experience with mainstream cards, I was pretty impressed at the performance for the price.Ī few months ago, ATI released their new 5000 series of gaming cards. I looked at three of them, all built by our friends at Sapphire. Last year, AMD’s ATI division released five different mainstream cards in their 4000 series of video cards. AMD’s Radeon HD 4670 had pretty impressive gaming capabilities. The past couple of years, mainstream video cards have gotten much increased graphics power, making them suitable for gaming, of course at lowered settings. A mainstream card would also be desirable for an HTPC rig, especially one that will not be used for hardcore gaming, due to the lower power consumption and lower heat produced by the GPU. If you are buying a graphics card for your own llc california business it is a good to go with a mainstream card. As we discovered in our original review of the HD 5770 card, there’s a lot to love here. So why would you want or need a mainstream video card? Of course the main reason would be to upgrade the graphics of a “store bought” HP/Compaq/Gateway/whatever PC. While the HD 5870 and HD 5850 are without question the best performing cards on the market right now, not everyone wants to separate themselves from 300 400, so the 109 and 159 price tags of these new cards appealed to a much greater audience. ![]() If you didn’t know, mainstream card generally means a video card with a release price of around $100. Though many of us hardware geeks have never seriously considered one, mainstream video cards still command a huge majority of the graphics card market. ![]()
