Sapphire Radeon HD5750 1 GB DDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card 100284L

I am very please with the performance of this card as it looks really good playing games like Crisis, Modern WarFare 2, Doom 3 and Unreal Tournament 3. I wanted to replace my old but fairly new card (GT 120) that came with my Gateway LX-6810 desktop pc. I had to purchase a new power supply to power this card as the recommends at a 600 watt power supply for this card. I found a good deal on Amazon for an 850 watt AK power supply for $49.99. With such a great price on the card and finding a great price on the power supply, there was no reason for me to not upgrade my pc. I bought this card because I wanted to be able to run Crisis at the full settings. This card allows me to max out all of my settings on the Crisis game upto 1680 x 1050 which is what my monitor's resolution can handle. It ran great but, I still think it runs better with slightly lower settings. Overall, this card looks and responds really great.

I am using this card on a Win7 x64 system with an i7-860 + ASUS P755D Pro. The card is running two 25.5" ASUS VW266H 25.5-Inch Monitors at 1920x1200 on each monitor (3840x1200 combined).
I toyed around with eyefinity but decided not to use it since it made running programs at full screen troublesome since the center of the app is where the two monitors meet. That being said I can watch full screen video's and 3d screen savers and have no complaints. I am not a gamer just the occasional video here or there.

The card is quiet despite the fact that it has a fan, I never hear the thing.

I bought one of these recently to run it in crossfire w/ an existing oem 5750 in a system I bought. This was before I learned much about current generation video cards. If you are a buyer that is looking to buy 2 of these for crossfire. I highly recommend you stop right now. With the onslaught of next gen gpus coming out, prices on many quality GPUs have come down. So much, that you can get a ATI 4870 (a much more powerful card) for just $99. Unless you must run Direct X 11 games (for which there aren't many atm), ATI 4870 is a great card. Also you could buy a Nvidia 250 GTS for $70, and a pair of those in SLI would also outperform a pair of 5750s in crossfire.

Now back to 5750 in general. A 5750 is a budget card, filled with bells and whistles to meet today's needs. But a budget card it is. So do not expect to fly through games in highest settings at max resolution. This card won't do it for that purpose, individually or in crossfire. The Sapphire card that...Read more
