System Specs

ATI Radeon HD 5670 Pictured, Detailed, and Tested

AMD's lower-mainstream DirectX 11 compliant graphics card slated for Q1-2010, the ATI Radeon HD 5670 has been pictured and detailed, sourced from a [H]ardOCP HardForum community member. The HD 5600 series is based on a 40 nm GPU codenamed "Redwood". From the specifications the GPU-Z screenshot shows, it has a 50% downscaled SIMD engine, with 400 stream processors, while it retains the 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, with 16 ROPs. Assuming the clock speeds shown in the screenshot to be the reference speeds, they are 775 MHz for the core, and 1000 MHz for the 1 GB of memory (resulting in 64 GB/s of memory bandwidth).

An engineering-sample of the card has also been pictured, revealing a red-colored PCB breaking away from the black PCB scheme of the rest of the HD 5000 series. The card draws all its power from the PCI-Express slot. The GPU cooler consists of a simple heatsink with radially-projecting metal fins, in which is nested a fan. Output connectivity includes DVI, HDMI, and D-Sub, though the leads behind the D-Sub connector shows that offering a DisplayPort in its place might be possible.



The user also put the card through two tests, in a performance comparison with the Radeon HD 4670 512 MB, the card this one replaces. The test-bed comprised of a Intel Core i5 750 @ 2.66 GHz, Gigabyte P55M-UD2, and 4 GB of OCZ DDR3-1333 memory. The first test was Street Fighter 4 1600 x 1200, no AA, 16x AF. The HD 5670 scored 10,473 points, with average frame-rate of 95.35 fps. The HD 4670 on the other hand, scored 8,559 points with average frame-rate of 65.35 fps. Next was Unigine Heaven Demo v1.0 DirectX 10 (SM 4.0) 1024 x 768, windowed. With the CPU running at 2.53 GHz (according to the screenshot), the HD 5670 scored 859 points with 34.1 fps frame-rate, while the HD 4670 with the CPU running at 2.66 GHz scored 699 points with 27.8 fps.

This looks like it will be my recommendation to people for a video card, when they want to add one to a bland OEM computer to help them play games on it now...

Oh its far more than that
This will finally destroy the 9600GT and should take on the 9800GT.
This little sucker has 16 ROPs and 128-bit GDDR5 dude.
I always wonder what happen if the HD4670 has more, now we get it.

so this meant it will regain the fastest-non-pcie-power-card crown from GT 240

The 9800GT Green still holds that crown, the GT240 is just a joke from nVidia.
Just that it looks kinda odd with only 400SP but 16ROPs, it is just out of sync from the rest of the cards.
I guess the ATi engineers know what they are doing, since the 4770 did so well even against the 4850.
I guess this should stop the 5670 from spanking the 5750 in the ass.

I would appreciate a single-slot cooler on this one if possible. It seems like the TDP ought to be low enough... Gotta start saving space in my SFF -.-'

That cooler on the card is by no means reference, you can see the guide lines on the PCB.
I might be using the same cooler as the reference 4670.
This means no Baby Batmobile

Eh, only 80 Shaders up from the 4670's 320. I was expecting 500 or 600.

I was planning to get ATI's next non PCI-E reliant card, but this doesn't seem like a big enough boost from my 4670. I guess I'll step up to the 57xx series.

[edit] Wikipedia's Evergeen article is stating 560 SPs for the 5600 series. I can't find any other source though, and none is cited in the article. If this 5670 is 400, maybe there'll be a 5690?

Nice to see, they are filling up the market nicely with their cards, should whip a 3870 tho.

Now all we need is an AGP version and you'd have an HD3850 killer.

Whiping a card 2 Gen old is not enough, they must at lease destroy the 9600GT and whip the 9800GT which is almost 2 Gen old by now

but 9800GT was not official from Nvdia and i have HD 4850 green too and don't need PCIe power Connector.

i can't wait to see the review from wizzz




WTH nvdia doing right now, it's start to get boring, we want some nice competition

I think that Radeon HD 5670 will perform between 9600gt and 9800gt but closer to the second one.

It doesn't really matter, there is a card that is readily avaliable in that market segment.
ATi need to defeat it to ensure that the 5670 do well.

In this performance grade, DX11 doesn't really matters anymore, because by the time DX11 is the norm, lower end cards like these will be on their knees.
Customers that buy cards in this market segment usually looks for a card that can play their current games.

Nice, hopefully this will come in a low profile variant. My low-profile 4650 just cant cut it in newer games if i turn the resolution up.

i too amn hoping for a low profile version, that would be great as it doesn't use much power and has gddr5 on it, be worlds better than the 4650

80 more stream processors, and double the memory bandwidth, double the ROP count.

If these are as good as 3870 as people are saying then one of these cards can play most games at pretty decent fps.

Two of them and you could play most games with decent fps on a high res monitor.

damn
