  • Unmatched feature set, Extremely low power consumption, 620 GigaFLOPS for $99 (at launch), HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces, Cool, quiet operation, Sleek, modern looks, Low heat generation inside the case
  • Inexpensive; good performance for the price; no dedicated power connector needed; only occupies a single slot-expansion bay

Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Small, simple hardware design won't impress others, Price structure seems a little high (launch pricing...)
  • Roughly a third slower than the HD 5750, which costs about $40 more

There certainly is a lot to like about the HD5670.Firstly as a HTPC solution it is easily powerful enough to handle HD content. With a small 170mm length it should fit in the most compact of chassis, although without a low-height bracket it naturally...

The performance of the HD5670 is pretty amazing, considering the modest looking hardware and low cost. One way of showing this objectively is to look at the power required to deliver the performance. The HD5670 offers slightly less same performance as...

It seems as no surprise that ATI has done it again, the question is when is Nvidia finally going to get back into things. Not only have they been losing in the high-end but it's been years since they've been competitive in the sub-$200 market....

The RADEON HD 5670 1GB from AMD succeeded to best the similarly priced Geforce GT 240 in all synthetic and games benchmarks, no matter the resolution and AA setting. Considering that this do not need an extra power connector and fits perfectly into...

Today we will use two HD 5670 1GB in CrossFire to hound a single GTX 460 768MB. We found this comparison could be interesting because at the moment you can get one GTX 460 768MB for the price of two HD 5670 1GB cards. Before we go further to the...

After NVIDIA released their competitors to the successful ATI's 4000 series lower end cards, finally bringing us DX10.1 and GDDR5 and native audio support over HDMI, ATI has upped the ante with its new 5000 series cards from the lower segment....
