Today ATI/AMD are launching the first sub $100 (512MB) and $120 (1GB) DirectX 11 capable products in the shape of the Radeon 5670.
We recently took a look at Sapphire's HD5750 in this review, and now we're going to see what one of the bigger, faster siblings of the new DirectX 11 capable HD5XXX family has to offer. The main focus of this review is to feature Sapphire's Radeon HD5850 1GB graphics card, but as an interesting side effect we will also take a look at the CrossFire performance of a pair of these HD5850 cards, as well as a pair of Sapphire's HD5750 cards.
With this particular HD5830 Game Edition from Sapphire, the better cooler allows for an excellent overclocking experience and the inclusion of the game only makes this an excellent overall card for a consumer wanting a fast videocard, but not wanting or needing to slam down over US$300 just to play Call of Duty.
Diesmal geht es wirklich Schlag auf Schlag, unser XFX HD5850 Test war noch gar nicht ganz fertig, da wurde schon die neue Sapphire HD5870 Vapor-X avisiert, auf die sicherlich sehr viele Anwender warten. Die Vapor Chamber Technology, die übrigens von Microloops stammt, hat ihren Ursprung u.a. in High-Performance Servern, deren Temperaturen mit Hilfe dieser heatpipe-ähnlichen Kühltechnik im Zaum gehalten wurden.
Was die Vapor-X Varianten von Sapphire zu leisten im Stande sind, haben wir schon in einigen Reviews verifizieren dürfen. Jetzt stellt sich aber die Frage, ob auch die neuen 40nm Grafikkarten der HD5000 Baureihe von ATI in Verbindung mit diesem Kühler wiederum eine kongeniale Einheit bilden können. Kurzum, unsere Situation war gleich in mehrfacher Hinsicht ideal, einerseits unser erster HD5870 Test und andererseits können wir gleich eine Aussage dazu treffen, was ein Kühler abseits des Referenz Mainstreams leistet. Wir wünschen viel Vergnügen beim Vertiefen der Erkenntnisse...
AMD has retaken the crown for superior graphical power with their ATI Radeon HD 5870 video card, and consumers have confirmed that this is the hottest graphics accelerator of the moment. Armed with 1600 shader cores, the 40nm Cypress GPU claims to push video game frame rates well-beyond what NVIDIA offers from their GeForce GTX 285 counterpart. While the list of DirectX 11 video games has just started to grow, with one of the first being a free Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) named BattleForge. Perhaps ATI has created the perfect storm for their Radeon HD 5800-series by offering a price-competitive graphics card with several free games included or available. While NVIDIA toils away with CUDA and PhysX, ATI is busy delivering the next generation of hardware for the gaming community to enjoy. Sapphire factory overclocks the Cypress GPU and adds their own custom cooling solution, named Vapor-X. In this article Benchmark Review! s tests the Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X video card 21161-03 against a cross-section of modern graphics accelerators.
AMD’s Eyefinity Technology, have you heard of it? I’m sure you have, it’s what powers those multi-display setups that you’ve seen before. These multi-display setups give you massive desktop work-spaces and immersive gaming environments. The thing about getting Eyefinity setup is it can be difficult and confusing, especially if you don’t have the right displays off the bat. To make things easier Sapphire has come out with the FleX series of cards. Each FleX card allows you to plug in and run 3 monitors simultaneously from a single card. Today we will be taking a look at their low-cost solution the Radeon HD6450 FleX Edition.
In addition to being a low profile silent media PC ready card, the Sapphire Radeon HD6450 Flex Edition video card also boasts triple DVI monitor support right out of the box. This is impressive for a sub $100 card, But what kind of performance can a $70 card really provide? See why this super cheap card packs features and performance that may just surprise you.
When we received this, I was quite surprised with what we received. We did not receive a massive video card with case-clearance issues or a card requiring more power than the Hubble Telescope. We received a simple card measuring 16 cm long with a 8 cm fan requiring no external power supply. My first thought was "This card, retailing at ~$79.00, will never be able to keep up with HD gaming and video", as the box boasts. Lets continue to see if my initial assumptions are correct.
KitGuru is old in the tooth and likes naming conventions which don't change. With the launch of the Radeon HD 6000 series, AMD has altered its naming strategy. The high end cards will now be the 6900 series (due November) and the 6800 cards that we're looking at today, will actually be sold for less than £200 each, including VAT (we're guessing that's under $250 for our American readers). How much can any gamer get from a graphic card that costs so little?
AMD decided to mix things up a bit when they released the HD6000 series first by releasing the midrange cards first and next by using previous high end naming schemes to describe them. So while the HD5870 was the previous generation "bad-boy" the new HD6870 was nothing more than a docile pony designed to give the nVidia GTX 460 some company.
