HIS Radeon HD 5670 IceQ Video Card Review
Conclusions
Contents
First, forget about Radeon HD 5570. Sometimes chip manufacturers release products that are too close to each other in price but with a huge performance difference between them. This is exactly what happens with Radeon HD 5570 and Radeon HD 5670.
The main competitor to Radeon HD 5670 is GeForce GT 240 and from the six games and simulations we ran, Radeon HD 5670 was faster in five of them, between 4% and 66.4%, depending on the program and video configuration. Therefore, we have to give the crown to Radeon HD 5670 as the best video card today on the USD 85 – USD 95 price range.
HIS Radeon HD 5670 IceQ appears as a nice option because of its cooling system and price.
GeForce GT 240 will appear as a possible option only if you find it costing USD 20 less than Radeon HD 5670 – and keep in mind that we are talking about the GDDR5 model here.
