Visiontek ATI Radeon HD 5670 Review: In pursuit of 1GHz
Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was one of the most successful games of 2007. It was the top-selling game worldwide for 2007, selling over seven million copies by January 2008. It uses a proprietary game engine that includes features such as true world-dynamic lightning, HDR lighting effects, dynamics shadows, and depth of field. It features a fictional story set in the near-future. The most well-received part of the game is its multiplayer modes, where you earn experience points for kills and completing certain tasks online. These experience points unlock certain abilities and new and more powerful guns which can tip the balance in your favor in online matches.
For testing this game, I recorded a timedemo on the “Vacant” map. The demo was recorded while trying to capture some of the most graphically intense sections of the game, like throwing a smoke grenade and then walking and shooting in it, which really brings all the cards to their knees resulting in the minimum FPS. The demo was played back at normal speed with the demo command from the console. The results were then recorded with FRAPS.
As seen in the 3DMark bench, HD 5670 beats out the GT 240 and catches up to the HD 4770. The massive 30% overclock on the core is the primary factor here. I wish the memory would have overclocked more, which would have allowed the HD 5670 to best the HD 4770.
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
