Visiontek ATI Radeon HD 5670 Review: In pursuit of 1GHz
Specifications
Here are the specifications of the three cards we will be comparing in this review.
Test Setup
- Intel Q9450 @ 2.66 GHz
- GIGABYTE EX-38 DS4 F5 BIOS
- GEIL 4 GB ( 2x 2GB ) Dual Channel RAM @ 800 MHz
- Windows 7 Ultimate x64
- ATI Catalyst 10.3a
- Nvidia Geforce Driver 197.45
- Cooler Master Sniper Case
Test Notes
- PhysX was disabled in the Nvidia Control Panel.
- All Catalyst & Nvidia control panel settings were at default.
- Because we are testing mid-range cards, 1680×1050 resolution was used in our testing since these are mid range cards.

Which software did you use for overclockin? the catalyst center goes only till 850/1050. Nice review.
I used MSI Afterburner, and enabled Unofficial overclocking in the ini file for it. The picture of the overclock can be found on page 4. http://alienbabeltech.com/main/?p=18441&page=4
MrK, where is the ini file for this and when there, how do you enable unofficial overclocking?
@shrtmn13 Open the MSI Afterburner.cfg with Notepad. It is located in the folder where MSI Afterburner is installed.
This is not a mid range card, I have it as well. Its a low spec card with a shitty cooler. If there were some way to replace its cooler it could be worth calling mid range. I have the sapphire version and the fan at full load sounds like a vacuum cleaner.
Ideas would be nice 😛
Never mind my original post I just bought an AMD x6 now the whole thing sounds like a Hoover
