We have enabled 4 times Anti Aliasing for this test.
The Sapphire HD5670 trails slightly behind the GTS 250 in this benchmark but the results are better than we expected. The Sapphire card is perfectly capable of powering this game on a mid range monitor and 720p TV with a high level of AA applied.
The HD5670 can handle Resident Evil 5 with AA applied and maintain frame rate above 30fps throughout our section of gameplay – this is an impressive result especially considering the budget pricing.
these really are great cards, especially when considering the modest asking price.
The temperatures are much lower than what I had expected, but then again its arctic cooling who always make good coolers.
I have one of these in a system and I wanted to know is it worth buying another for crossfire. anyone know if its worth the hassle?
Nice review – seems a good price. I think they dropped recently by £10 too.
The overclocking is insane, they should have overclocked the card, even 10% with that headroom it would have been safe.
I shopped around and found one for £85 on OCUK, which is brill. Just bought it. thanks KG for thorough review testing. They seem low power which is nice as I dont always game and like to know they idle without taking a lot of power.
HD5670 is great series but I think the 5770 is better value as its much more powerful.
I ordered one of these a few days ago for my media center as I might like to play the odd game on the tv rather than in my bedroom on a monitor. Glad to know I didn’t buy a turkey !
Great review thnks, k, bye
Like the review style, leep up the goodwork
How much is this card in Australia? cant find it anywhere
For once a review not trying its absolute best to downplay this great card… this great lil thing suits anyone with a not so large screen and does some gaming every now and then. This maxes out most, if not all (as seen from the review), games of the present and possibly will do so next year or maybe the year after that at modest resolutions. And is just so quiet and efficient!
Great product and an excellent review!!!
Just bought one of these to run AVP (I know, not the best game) with Directx 11. It will run the game at full tilt with settings maxed out. Highly recommend the card if your looking for a cheapish one to last a couple of years. Well done ATI.
Oh this replaced my old nvidia 8400 gs lol.
