XFX Radeon HD 5750 1GB DDR5 PCIE Graphics Card HD575XZNFC

Comment: The card worked fine for months. PC has additional fan directly above. 650 watt power supply. Using 2 DVI displays. Screens suddenly turned white. PC subsequently no longer even gets to POST unless I remove the card and connect via on-board VGA. Tried the card in two different PCs - same result. XFX will make you jump through hoops for RMA. You send it in and they'll "check it out" and get back to you.

I won't be buying any more XFX products.

FWIW...10 year IT pro on 200 user network, MSCE, CNE, Comptia A+ certified, yada yada yada.

Amazon has always been good to me. XFX - they stink if you have a defective device under warranty and try to exchange it.

Comment: I have had this card for over a month now and it is 100% happy with it. It is Quiet, Fast and does not heat up my case. I registered with XFX for their lifetime warranty so no worries there. I play Crysis, Fallout 3 and they look amazing with good frame rates. I will overclock it soon for performance that is comparable to a 5770. One selling point for me was it's low power consumption. AMD recommends a 550w PSU but I run it with a Corsair 400w power supply and have had no issues at all.

Comment: I bought this card to replace an OEM ati 5570 that had a fan that made a grinding noise. So far so good. The only thing that I have to gripe about this card is that it idles at 58 C(which may be partially be the result of putting it in a small case). When I first installed this card and installed the 10.5 drivers I got A Windows Experience Index (WEI) of 7.2 for both Aero and gaming(Win7 64 bit). With the recently released 10.6 drivers WEI increased to 7.3. I should make note that there is no dvi to vga adapter included.

Comment: I read reviews about this item thought i would take a chance it would work Wrong unstable could not even get thru windows experience without reboot installed new drivers released yesterday still would not work. I think some serious work need to be done to get thses radeon cards stable in windows 7 64bit

Comment: To be quite honest this wasn't a buy I was looking forward to: my previous card, a Radeon 4670, began showing signs of "heat stroke." This happened to another older card of mine (Geforce 7900 GS) - danger of living in Hawai'i with no air conditioning in the house!

Anyhow, I ordered this and installed it. Its added extra power to my games, which is to be expected (its about twice as powerful as the 4670). I was rather happy that it came with a power adapter and an HDMI cable (don't need either, but I'd rather have them than not). The dual-slot design makes me feel more comfortable about it since its got a larger heatsink and fan, plus an exhaust. The fact the 5000 series cards run cooler than 4000 series cards (plus use less power when doing non-gaming stuff) is a big plus.

Nice thing too is I didn't have to replace my Dell OEM power supply. Your mileage may vary (so do at your own risk) but the Dell's 375w is running it, two harddrives, and a Q6600 at clock speeds. Overall a nice, reasonably priced upgrade.
