Visiontek ATI Radeon HD 5670 Review: In pursuit of 1GHz
Dirt 2
Officially known as Colin Mcrae: Dirt 2, this game carries on the long tradition of Colin Mcrae series. Since taking on the Dirt moniker, this game has expanded from just rally racing to include a lot of off-road events. Powered by the EGO engine, the PC version of the game was delayed to include DX11 features such as hardware tessellation. Addition of DX11 features makes Dirt 2, one of the first games to support DX11.
We are using the retail game which included an official benchmark.
We tested Dirt 2 in DirectX 9 mode, since the HD 5670 is the only card that can run it in DX11 mode. The trend continues with the HD 4770, the HD 5670 overclocked, the HD 5670 and the GT 240 coming in in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th places respectively.
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
