This review is from: XFX ATI Radeon HD 5670 1 GB DDR5 DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card HD567XZNF3 (Personal Computers) This Graphics on this card is awesome. The installation was a breeze as it was plug and play. No Additional power source needed.
Make sure you have good fans in your case as this thing can generate quite an amount of heat due to the processing power it has. For those having problems with HDMI, after you install the card you have to boot your machine in VGA mode and install the ATI catalyst driver along with windows update for realtek hdmi audio drivers after which you can hook up your HDMI TV or any other device and it should work fine. The card boosted my Windows 7 Graphics score to 6.8 and eats any game I throw at it. After having problems with a Sapphire card of similar specs, I went with this card as it has very good reviews all over the net. Very Satisfied. XFX products will be in my shortlist for future PC upgrade purchases. Note: THIS CARD DOES NOT HAVE A VGA PORT AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE. YOU WILL NEED A DVI to...Read more 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: XFX ATI Radeon HD 5670 1 GB DDR5 DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card HD567XZNF3 (Personal Computers) Finding the right video card will give you a headache if you're not up on the specs and requirements for it to fit in your computer. I got advice from a variety of power users who suggested all sorts of pricey units (upwards of $200-300) and I was ready to buy, until I researched the installation a bit more carefully. Dual slot vid cards require the slot above the PCIeX16 slot to be open, I had none, installation of a dual slot vid card would have required surgery on my computer case. Next, most of those high end cards require power supply beyond what's included from the motherboard, and its' not even the same connectors as my power supply had, yet more work and expense, just to get an extra year or two from my PC.
Well the good news is one of the suggestions from a friend of a friend was this unit, who actually listened to my needs for a reasonably priced vid card that worked in my computer (Dell E521). I installed it and benchmarked it, amazing the difference in 3D...Read more 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: XFX ATI Radeon HD 5670 1 GB DDR5 DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card HD567XZNF3 (Personal Computers) I have this product installed in a ASUS P5K-E mainboard, which is probably PCI-E 1.0. My previous graphics board was a HD 3850 PCI-E 2.0, and this HD 5670 is PCI-E 2.1. Both cards worked great in my system. Do not be concerned if your system is PCI-E 1.0, get this card, you will not be disappointed. Installation was easy; just download the latest drivers and Catalyst Control Center from ATI and don't use the drivers provided on the included CD (they're out of date). Also, note that no power connectors are needed with this card, so you don't have to worry about having the proper power connection from you power supply (power is supplied through the card slot); just make sure you have at least 400 watts capacity. No CrossFire connector is included with this card. I did not test the HDMI or DP video connectors on the outside of the card, just the DVI. |
