Sapphire HD 5750 Vapor-X 1GB Review

Wed 2009-11-25 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

Hardware Canucks have posted a review of the Sapphire HD 5750 Vapor-X 1GB, the first factory overclocked HD 5750.

Here's what they had to say:

"We have seen in the past that Sapphire can release a single-slot Vapor-X heatsink with some great results so it boggles the mind why they decided to go with a totally oversized heatsink for this relatively cool-running card. It just seems like needless overkill to us. Hopefully, future revisions will look at giving us a slimmed down heatsink design.

To conclude, if you can find it for a few bucks more than a standard HD 5750, we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Sapphire’s HD 5750 Vapor-X. Just pay very close attention to what HD 5770s are going for because a few dollars more could net you a card with heaps of additional performance."

Frankly, I'm not that impressed with this model. It has a pityful overclock and the dual-slot cooler needlessly makes the card longer.
