The Card

Axle uses a custom designed PCB and a cooling solution from Arctic Cooling on their HD 5670.


The card requires two slots in your system, normal by today's standards.


The card has one DVI port, an analog VGA output and an HDMI port. This is a reasonable output configuration for a card in this performance segment, because some users may still have an old VGA monitor. The HDMI interface includes a 7.1 channel audio signal that is generated by an HD audio device integrated in the GPU. Unlike NVIDIA cards which limit you to two active outputs at the same time, you may use all three outputs at the same time on ATI's latest cards.


You may add a second HD 5670 to run in CrossFire for better image quality or performance.


Here are the front and the back of the card, high-res versions are also available (front, back). If you choose to use these images for voltmods etc, please include a link back to this site or let us post your article.
