so today on my video blog we're going to be unboxing the Radeon 5770 this is one of four DirectX 11 cards at ATI is launched and we're actually going to show you the whole family shortly we'll be unboxing the 57 50/50 on my blog next but not quite yet and then I'm going to do a quick size comparison against the 58 70 which is here and the 58 50 so you can get an idea of how these cards compare to each other so you can see that our box is a little bit beat up here but we're gonna find out just how good XFX is Packaging is at protecting the card during transport should it get banged around a little bit okay so let's break the seal here get this open you can see the packaging is actually quite similar to XFX as other 5800 series cards so you got kind of a shoebox style package we're gonna just pull it open oh yeah I forgot about this this is included only with the 5770 not with the 50 card and not with the 5800 series cards but it is a copy of BattleForge so you peel that off for the product key I won't be doing that today since someone will want this card at some point so here we've got a quick installation guide which is just your basics for how to install the card and it's quite small it shows you how to plug it into your power supply awesome here is the installation guide so this one covers your driver installation and that's about it so really you shouldn't be using this guide anyway you should be downloading the latest drivers off ATI comm and that brings us to our driver installation CD ignore this download the latest drivers off ATI comm now we've got that I mean I think this thing's pretty cool do not disturb on gaming this seems to come with all of their gaming cards easy to got your little door hanger not that your mom's actually going to pay attention to that she's gonna be like no no it's time for dinner we have one molex to PCI Express connector so that tells us that there's probably only one power plug on this cart we've got a crossfire bridge and a DVI to VGA adapter should you still require that at this point and we have the card itself so you can see that even on the beat-up corner of our box which is right here it hasn't even gotten close to the card so there's no risk of any damage based on what we've seen from XFX is packaging here so let's get the anti-static bag out and there is the card itself so why don't we start let's start with the connectors actually so first of all you've got to do I connect errs one HDMI and one DisplayPort so this is the same connector set as the 5800 series cards that means you can plug in three monitors and use this card for I affinity this is a PCI Express 16 X card and you can see we've got again the same fan that they're using on the higher end card so you can expect it to be quite quiet because and this is another thing you'll notice about it immediately it only has one six pin power connector so this is a very low power consumption card compared to the top-of-the-range gaming cards from the side you can see we've got a black with red trim sort of look with the ATI Radeon branding here and just like the 58 50 the back is not covered by a black shroud and it just has a simple backplate and it also has RAM chips on the back unlike the higher-end cards so you can actually see the RAM on the back should you desire that anyway I think that just about covers it thank you for checking out my blog on the XFX Radeon 5770
