The Sapphire HD 5670 1 GB is surprisingly powerful for a mid range card which packs all of the features of its big brothers. While you won't be able to play all of the latest games at the maximum settings, you won't have to run them at the...

The ATI Radeon HD 5670 512MB graphics card brings AMD's DirectX 11 offerings down to under $100 and is an impressive card. The Radeon HD 5670 1GB GDDR5 model cards are just slightly less expensive than the Radeon HD 5750 and don't offer as good...

At the $100 price point you have in the Sapphire HD 5670 is the only Direct X 11 card at this part of the market. The HD 5670 is not really made to be a gaming power house as you have seen from the gaming benchmarks. It is meant to be a discrete...
