The 5750 achieves a low 16W IDLE power consumption by clocking down in several power stages. So we'll look purely at the Radeon HD 5770 now, in IDLE the GPU will clock down and lower its voltages on both GPU and memory. One of the biggest accomplishments of the series 5000 graphics cards is the enhancement in the power design, the implementation of voltage and clock regulation is even more dynamic - power management at a new level. And all that with a single chip utilizing less than 86 Watts. However, you can expect the Radeon HD 5750 to match any current single-GPU based graphics card in the mid-range segment like the Radeon HD 4850 and GeForce GTS 250. However, since it's gDDR5 memory it will still offer sufficient enough bandwidth.īut yes - the culprit of the 5700 series will be a cut off memory bandwidth, and this is the reason why it's performance will be slightly lower (on average).

On the 5700 they'll crank it down a notch though we have 128-bit memory, cutting the bandwidth in half. We have not discussed it just yet, but memory ATI will stick to DDR5 for both products. These numbers are really good, for the money this is going to make an excellent mid-range product series. The number of ROP units are rocking steady at 16 and sure - texture units remain at 40 for the 5770 and 36 for the 5750.īut before you get blinded by all the specs in a few lines of text, let's break down the two cards announced today. these are mid-range products at really affordable prices. Though that looks a little pale in comparison to the 5800 series, remember. The Radeon 5750 will be clocked at 700 MHz on the Core and Shader domain and 1150 MHz on the memory (4600 MHz on the memory), with the 5750 having 720 Shader processors. The fabrication node just like the 5800 series is 40nm for this product. Correct, that is 1+ billion transistors tucked away in a small chip. The new Radeon HD 5700 GPUs have 1040 million transistors. The Radeon HD 4850 which we all know and love for its performance had 956 million transistors embedded onto that die. Today's tested product will position itself at the Radeon HD 4850 performance. The number of transistors always works as an indicator of how powerful a product will be. But first let's focus on the sheer technical specifications. We'll address the majority of features in our article.

Dynamic power management with ATI PowerPlay technology.

ATI Avivo HD video and display technology.

ATI CrossFireX multi-GPU support for highly scalable performance.

Compliant with DirectX 11 and earlier revisions.

Designed for DirectCompute 5.0 and OpenCL.

ATI Eyefinity technology with support for up to six displays.

Let's have a peek at some of the key features for this product: So we have just established product positioning and have seen what cards to expect.
