okay so today we've got the Radeon HD 5670 from XFX the biggest difference between this and the next one up to 5750 is that it has fewer stream processors our LPS and texture units it also has a slightly lower memory clock in terms of in relation to the other card and I can't find my knife where is my knife thank you and it also mmm-hmm has a faster clock speed so basically what this card is is it's supposed to it sit position it's positioned only about ten to ten to 20 dollars cheaper than the 5750 depending on how much memory this one in particular is a 512 Meg card whereas most of the 57 50s out there are one gig so that's gonna make a difference to the price right off the bat and then there's also the fact that it's damaged and it was clocked a little bit higher so it's a value card that's not meant to pump out the same kind of detail levels as these higher-end DirectX 11 cards but it does bring most of the same features to the table so it has support for I Finity it has support for DirectX 11 under Windows 7 so you've got that feature set it has 7.1 audio out over HDMI but not the raw gaming speed so it's more for people who just want to use their card casually for gaming once in a while so let's see what we've got inside here first we have a quick install guide and step 1 prepare your computer step 2 remove your existing graphics card pathetic boopadoo okay thank you and then we have a a long installation guide okay thank you XFX for providing that for your valued customers okay then you have an ATI graphics card CD sleeve don't use this download the latest drivers off ATI comm then we have this I love it comes with all XFX cards as far as I can tell oh they've updated it too it doesn't have the dog on it anymore now it has like a gun do not disturb I'm gaming door hanger card and this is convenient because it also has a place on the back that shows you how to contact their support and tells you where to write your username and password for your login when you register your card and it also has I mean this is cool look at this it has I shouldn't I shouldn't show you this but the serial number for the card as well as the personal activation code to register your warranty I mean that is great because most of the time they just have it on the back of the card you're gonna rip open your case in order to even find it this is empty look at that there's nothing under this side it was all over here how about that okay oh wow this looks kind of funny actually so we got this big box did it did it did it to do this small card okay so in here we will find the 5670 and feel like I'm feel like I'm missing it I guess with a value card like this I mean they've got like they still got all the expensive like nice packaging and everything but not much in terms of accessories with a card like this I guess that's to be expected so let's pull it out you've got your standard matte black XFX PCB it seems like an insignificant detail but I love it I personally love the matte black PCB it looks really nice when it's all installed in your computer doesn't show dust as much I realize that these are aesthetic quibbles and those people don't care but it does matter to me you've got a PCI Express 16x connector along the bottom please note the absence of crossfire connectors that does not mean that it doesn't support crossfire it supports crossfire just fine but this isn't a super high bandwidth card you don't need it to communicate directly with the card it community can communicate just fine over the PCI Express bus so they don't worry about that too too much on the back we've got support for DVI HDMI and DisplayPort something you should be aware of is that if you want to use all three you've got to use all three you can't actually use a DisplayPort to DVI adapter you can use an HDMI to DVI adapter and a DVI monitor and a DisplayPort monitor but unless you're using an active and that means it costs like 100 bucks plus DisplayPort to DVI adapter it will not work okay so along to the other side you've got a pretty a pretty whoopsie looking heatsink but I mean this is not a very high powered part it doesn't output a lot of heat you don't have to worry too much about it you've got a little heatsink here that cools the memory chips which are located just down there I don't think you're gonna be able to see that you've got your power connector and you have your power delivery you'll notice the absence I mean it's hard to actually unbox something like this because normally I'll be pointing out all the stuff but I'm pointing out instead what is not here you'll notice the apps of a PCI Express six pin connector so you do not need to plug this in separately to your power supply that is again because it is a very power efficient card it doesn't require a whole lot from your power supply and I think that pretty much covers everything I wanted to say about this car thank you for checking out my unboxing of the 5670 512 Meg from XFX
