If you hate noise and want to build a media center then today's product will be of particular interest – the HIS HD5550 Silence 1GB graphics card. At KitGuru we have focused recently on this market, covering several ATI and nVidia solutions as we know many of our readers are building media systems.
The HIS HD5550 Silence 1GB Graphics card is fully Direct X 11 compliant and also supports EyeFinity Technology while only demanding a total of 40w under load. This card on test today is a 1300mhz DDR3 version which should be interesting as we have only tested 800mhz DDR2 versions in the past. We are one of the first sites to get a look at the GDDR3 version of this card.

thats actually very nice, I like the DDR3 option, i was amazed sapphire were still selling cards with DDR2, even if its lower end. id go for this rather than sapphire tbh.
another good review Zardon, take a break for god sake ! we will be carrying you out in a body bag !
Site seems to be going down, some pages arent loading for me.
Thanks for the review, nice read.
Excellent little board, and DDR3 which is rare on these lower end cards. like it.
very good review chaps. liked the power consumption, I must get one of these for my bedroom for media. IQ looks stellar
12w idle and under 30w gaming. lol that is fucking legendary.
Bollocks to this, review pissed me off 🙁 I bought the DDR2 model last week 🙁
Honestly man, can you please let me know now if you have a GDDR5 version being reviewed next week? I don’t want to make the same mistake as poor Francois 🙁
