When you hear the expression “graphics card”, the first thing that probably comes to mind is beasts from the high price segment. Well, this time we’ll deal with models that don’t require you to spend hundreds of euros for a graphics card. The two Radeon HD 5550 models that we’ve received have little in common [...]

While PowerColor unveiled such a product months ago, VisionTek has actually become the first company to introduce a single-PCB card which brings together graphics and networking and combines a Radeon HD 5770 with a Bigfoot Killer E2100 NIC. Named Killer HD 5770, the hybrid card takes up two slots, has 1GB of GDDR5 memory, an [...]

Factory-overclocked 3D cards, such as the XFX Radeon HD 5750 XXX, are a pretty common next step for most manufacturers when a GPU starts maturing, and it’s no surprise. When your fabs have cranked out squillions of chips, the price-war between stock cards has stabilised and a new generation of cards is peeping over the [...]

In the last month or two a lot of time has been devoted to the new 6800 series from AMD, a range of products which is priced very aggressively and offers a good price to performance ration. Even with this great value aspect the thought of paying over £140 for a graphics card seems a [...]

We will see if NVIDIA’s new GeForce GTX 580 has what it takes to compare to AMD’s Radeon HD 5970 2GB dual-GPU video card. These five apples-to-apples tests will reveal performance differences and memory limitations on the Radeon HD 5970 2GB. The Radeon HD 5970 is less expensive, so let’s where the chips fall. This [...]

After the Radeon HD 6800 series, the rest of AMD’s Northern Islands family of GPUs seem to be taking their own sweet time making it to the market. With the HD 6900 series almost certain to be off its November 22 launch date, lower-end GPUs slated for early 2011 are still far away. Meanwhile Sapphire [...]

A little over a year after the initial introduction of the Radeon HD 5770, PowerColor is still tweaking their take on what was then a revolutionary card for the mid-range price segment. Benchmark Reviews has the PowerColor AX5770 1GBD5-PPGV2 and has tested it’s performance against the mid-range offering from NVIDIA, the GeForce GTS 450. The [...]

Now that AMD seems to have given the 40 nm Juniper GPU (on which are based the Radeon HD 5700 series models) a new lease of life, manufacturers can continue to get innovative with the Radeon HD 5770 GPU. One such board partner, Yeston, designed a Radeon HD 5770 X2 graphics card, which simply put, [...]

Hardware aficionados know there is more to performance computing than just buying the most expensive parts available and throwing them altogether in the same system. There’s overclocking, case modding, cooling, and performance tuning to consider, among many other thigs. Of course, everyone has their opinions on these aspects of the hobby, with some folks taking [...]

I have recently gotten an overwhelming amount of e-mail from readers since I posted my launch day review on the NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 video cards asking why I didn’t compare a pair of GeForce GTS 450 video cards in SLI to a couple of ATI Radeon HD 5770 video cards running in CrossFire. The [...]

As the very cheapest of the HD 5770s we’ve tested, XFX’s offering grabs our interest. Shop around, and you can have one of these for as little as £116 – that’s a whole £35 cheaper than Sapphire’s offering, with its four-screen EyeFinity capability. And that’s a claim that XFX’s 5770 can’t make. With just two [...]

We re-visit GeForce GTX 460 1GB SLI vs. Radeon HD 5870 CrossFireX performance using new Catalyst drivers and new CrossFireX Application Profile 10.8a. We also have a new BETA ForceWare driver in play and we will now see how these video card configurations compete with updated software. In our second follow-up, following the comparison of [...]

PC INpact is one of few websites that has used TessMark in the GeForce GTS 450 review. Since tessellation is one of the killer features of OpenGL 4 / Direct3D 11 capable cards, it’s still interesting to see how modern cards like the GTS 450 behave with a pure OpenGL 4 tessellation benchmark. As expected, [...]

PowerColor R5570 Single Slot in 3-way CrossfireXA little while ago PowerColor released a new SKU from the popular Radeon HD 5770 lineup of products; in fact they made an actual single slot version of this card, allowing you to go for multi-GPU setups much easier as it saves a lot of space. The new cards [...]
