Asus EAH5750 Formula Radeon HD 5750 review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell May 25, 2010 Featured Announcement, Graphics

When testing a card such as the HD5750 it is important to use comparable partnering equipment. It would be easy for us to slot in a 980X Intel CPU with a Rampage III Extreme motherboard, but that doesn't really seem very practical for the target audience. It is all about correctly gauging the price points. We are including an nVidia GTS250 1GB board for comparison purposes as it shares a similar price point around £100.

Test System:
Asus HD5750 Formula Video Card
nVidia GTS 250 1GB
Intel Core I5 750 CPU
4GB Crucial DDR1333 Ram
Asus P7P55D-E Motherboard
Noctua NH D14 Cooler
Coolermaster 700W PSU
Western Digital 1TB 7,200HD
Dell2309 Monitor
Silverstone Raven 2 Chassis

Thermal Diodes
Raytek Laser Temp Gun 3i LSRC/MT4 Mini Temp

Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate
Fraps Professional
Forceware 197.45
Catalyst 10.4

Colin McRae Dirt 2
Fallout 3
Far Cry 2
Crysis Warhead
Left4Dead 2

All the latest bios updates and drivers are used during testing. We perform under real world conditions, meaning KitGuru test all games across five closely matched runs and average out the results to get an accurate median figure. We mix and match various games across our reviews to try and keep our regular readers interested – no one wants to see the same five games used in every review.

    I am in work so I haven’t had time to read the whole review. I did read the conclusion however and it looks disappointing. I read the HARDOCP review also a while ago and it seems you had more success than they did. They actually reported the card running hotter ! perhaps the lack of paste is a factor issue? The cooler is very odd looking, not sure I like it at all.

    Just goes to show that even Asus, one of the finest companies on the market can occassionally drop the ball.
