AMD Radeon HD 5750 & HD 5770 Graphics Card Reviews


Mon 2009-11-30 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Driverheaven, Techgage, techPowerUp, Tweaknews, and TweakTown have reviewed a few Radeon HD 5750 and HD 5770 graphics cards.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • Driverheaven: Sapphire Vapor X 5750 Review:

    "In its standard form the Radeon 5750 is a card which provides a great balance of value and performance. It regularly provides playable framerates at resolutions up to 1920x1200 and in games such as Left 4 Dead 2 it is even possible to play at 2560x1600 which is incredible for a low cost model. In addition to this we have DirectX 11 support, onboard HDMI, 7.1 audio and Blu-Ray acceleration which make the card ideal for media centre use.

    Sapphire take the great reference product, give it a makeover to make it more visually appealing then increase the performance whilst reducing the noise and temperatures. It is hard to fault a product like that; really the only thing we would have liked to see is a higher overclock out of the box but there is nothing to stop end users applying that themselves."

  • Techgage: Sapphire Radeon HD 5750 Review:

    "What hurts the HD 5750, and most other HD 5000 series cards right now, is the price-gouging by popular e-tailers. It's not just one, but multiple, so it doesn't look like any are going to budge soon. Because of this, the GTS 250 looks like an even better buy, as it can be had for $130 or even a bit less... the same price that the HD 5750 is supposed to be sold for. Unfortunately, AMD has no control over this.

    So as it is now, the smarter card would be the HD 5750, because it offers some perks that make it a vast improvement over the GTS 250, but for the best raw performance, the GTS 250 is the right card. One last thing I'll mention, though, is that on most e-tailers, the HD 5770 isn't too much more than the HD 5750 ($20 more, tops). If it came down to a choice between the price-gouged HD 5750 or HD 5770, I'd recommend the latter."

  • techPowerUp: HIS Radeon HD 5750 iCooler IV 1 GB:

    "HIS did an outstanding job with their Radeon HD 5750 iCooler IV design. Offering performance between HD 4850 and HD 4870, the card has enough power for most games at moderate resolutions. Due to its more power efficient design, it can take leading spots in idle power consumption and performance per Watt. If you spend most of your day at the desktop idle, working office apps or surfing the Web, the ~20W saved might be able to make quite a difference over time. HIS selected Arctic Cooling as their partner for the thermal solution, which paid off very nicely. Together with the optimized fan speed settings in the VGA BIOS, the card runs at one of the lowest fan noises I have ever experienced on a graphics card."

  • techPowerUp: Powercolor HD 5750 PCS 1024 MB:

    "Powercolor's Radeon HD 5750 PCS scores with the beauty provided by its Zerotherm cooling solution. Whereas the coolers of other HD 5750 cards look like cheap OEM heatsinks, Powercolor's cooler conveys the feeling of solid quality and cooling performance. But aren't the inner values more important? AMD's new 40 nm Juniper graphics processor can provide performance surpassing last-generation's Radeon HD 4850, yet consumes only about half of its power. It also packs all the latest features like DirectX 11 and AMD EyeFinity support. On the connectivity side, things are bright too. You have the choice between two DVI ports, an HDMI port and a DisplayPort - and you may even use them all at the same time."

  • Tweaknews: Sapphire HD5770 Videocard Review:

    "As a DirectX 11 launching point, the HD5770 from Sapphire is surprisingly a very quick and powerful videocard for little money. Right out of the box it plays with the HD4850, bullies it around the school yard then takes its lunch. Then it runs over to the HD4870, runs circles around it, and then gives it a black eye. For a mainstream videocard, it is nothing less than a fantastic value. For the cash strapped, this can and will be a great upgrade over any videocard less than a HD4890 and if you need a boost, hell, buy another one and have a cheap and blazing fast Crossfire setup."

  • TweakTown: Sapphire Radeon HD 5750 1GB Vapor-X Video Cardž:

    "Dirt 2, new cooling, a small increase in performance and just an all round good card make the Vapor-X OC HD 5750 a card worth looking at. If you want even more performance now, you can at least know that you're buying a card that is giving you better cooling than a stock model and the ability to attack the clock speeds yourself."
