I'm going to be reviewing the ATI HD 5670 by Sapphire. This card is ATI's mid to lower end gaming cards and is aimed towards more of a mainstream gaming computer. Don't get me wrong, this is a very good card. It can play many games on average settings and even some games on high settings. But because it is a lower end card, you should really only set these games at a medium setting. This card does support both Windows Vista and Windows 7 Aero. Its support Cross-Fire, meaning you can use two or more of the same card and combine them to make the graphics even better. For the inputs, it has 1 DVI, 1 HDMI and 1 Display Port which means that it also supports Eyefinity, meaning you can use multiple monitors for a better gaming experience. The best part about this card is that Sapphire put an Arctic Cooling Fan. It's a much bigger fan than what is on the XFX model. This provides better cooling and lower temperatures so that you are able to overclock it much higher. Overall, this a very good card and I recommend it if you are making an entry level gaming setup.
