This review is from: Sapphire Radeon HD5750 1 GB DDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card 100284L (Personal Computers)

I am very please with the performance of this card as it looks really good playing games like Crisis, Modern WarFare 2, Doom 3 and Unreal Tournament 3. I wanted to replace my old but fairly new card (GT 120) that came with my Gateway LX-6810 desktop pc. I had to purchase a new power supply to power this card as the recommends at a 600 watt power supply for this card. I found a good deal on Amazon for an 850 watt AK power supply for $49.99. With such a great price on the card and finding a great price on the power supply, there was no reason for me to not upgrade my pc. I bought this card because I wanted to be able to run Crisis at the full settings. This card allows me to max out all of my settings on the Crisis game upto 1680 x 1050 which is what my monitor's resolution can handle. It ran great but, I still think it runs better with slightly lower settings. Overall, this card looks and responds really great.

This review is from: Sapphire Radeon HD5750 1 GB DDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card 100284L (Personal Computers)

I am using this card on a Win7 x64 system with an i7-860 + ASUS P755D Pro. The card is running two 25.5" ASUS VW266H 25.5-Inch Monitors at 1920x1200 on each monitor (3840x1200 combined).
I toyed around with eyefinity but decided not to use it since it made running programs at full screen troublesome since the center of the app is where the two monitors meet. That being said I can watch full screen video's and 3d screen savers and have no complaints. I am not a gamer just the occasional video here or there.

The card is quiet despite the fact that it has a fan, I never hear the thing.

I bought one of these recently to run it in crossfire w/ an existing oem 5750 in a system I bought. This was before I learned much about current generation video cards. If you are a buyer that is looking to buy 2 of these for crossfire. I highly recommend you stop right now. With the onslaught of next gen gpus coming out, prices on many quality GPUs have come down. So much, that you can get a ATI 4870 (a much more powerful card) for just $99. Unless you must run Direct X 11 games (for which there aren't many atm), ATI 4870 is a great card. Also you could buy a Nvidia 250 GTS for $70, and a pair of those in SLI would also outperform a pair of 5750s in crossfire.

Now back to 5750 in general. A 5750 is a budget card, filled with bells and whistles to meet today's needs. But a budget card it is. So do not expect to fly through games in highest settings at max resolution. This card won't do it for that purpose, individually or in crossfire. The Sapphire card that is beign sold here is not the top of the line 5750 even at Sapphire. The shroud is very similar to the reference design of the basic ATI 5750. The key difference is instead of all aluminum heatsink, Sapphire added copper core to the center of the heatsink, which in theory helps with thermal transfer.

However, in my particular purchase. The temperature was a good 5 degree higher at idle, and 10-12 degrees higher under load. Higher than my OEM 5750 which coincidentally also identified as Sapphire, however it has the shroud and fan design more similar to HIS. I played with postions of the gpus, brought air from various directions, but could never lower the temp gap. A 3-5 degree difference is to be expected but a 12 degree?

I even resorted to finding waterblocks to see if watercooling helps. This is when 5750 being a budget card again comes into play. Nobody makes an investment to make waterblocks for 5750! In despair, I decided to void my warranty perhaps but just opened it up for a look. Before I even unscrewed the base I noticed 2 of the screws had space between them and the board while the other 2 didn't. Upon detaching the heatsink from gpu, I noticed a huge amount of thermal compound. I wiped everything clean, and reapplied a line of arctic silver and miraculously the temp at idle dropped to the low 40s, and under full Kombustor dx11 multigpu stress test, tops out at just 71, whereas before it would go to 84, and one time 104 before I set up a wind tunnel for it.

I still rate this card a 3 star because if you must have a dx 11 card, it is still one of the best values. But the particular item I purchased no doubt wasn't well put together. However, I recommend any buyers, unless you are stuck like I was, to consider the great deals out there today that boasts huge performance improvement over this one at a lower cost.
