Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5670 1G GDDR5 Review

      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.
