PC Pro | We experienced a strange sense of déjà vu when we first came across ATI's Radeon HD 5570. It shares the same diminutive PCB as ATI's recently released HD 5450 media card (web ID: 355276) – but a quick look at its specifications shows it has more in ...

In our World in Conflict tests the card averaged 134fps and 74fps at low and medium-quality settings respectively, and produced a near-playable score of 24fps at high quality settings, suggesting that modern games aren’t beyond the reach of the HD 5570 as long as you tone down some of the more intensive graphical options.
It proved adept with media files, the GPU needing only 20% of its power to decode 1080p Blu-ray flawlessly. And that’s not the end of the HD 5570’s charms, either. With such a small PCB it’ll fit into the most cramped cases and its small fan doesn't make a lot of noise either. The HD 5570 is also frugal: our test rig’s peak power consumption of 169W was 5W lower than that required by the HD 5670.
The 5570 has one big problem, however, and that's the price.... Open »
A lot of groundwork had to be laid over the preceding months and even years before AMD could produce the entire Radeon HD 5000 series of products. Although the GPU at the heart of the Radeon HD 5570 is based on the same architecture as the other members of the DX-11 class Radeon HD 5000 series, the chip does leverage technologies already implemented in previously released GPU generations, so it's not all new. As such, we'd recommend perusing some recent HotHardware articles to brush up on a few of the technologies and features employed by the new Radeon HD 5450...... Open »

The Radeon HD 5570 is a more powerful GPU than the HD 5450, capable of playing games comfortably at 720p, while retaining some of the HTPC-friendly properties that made the latter an attractive buy.
