How is Ati HD 5670

[1993gregory]

Hello everyone i plan to buy ATI Radeon HD 5670 1GB
is this card good can anyone suggest other good cards in the same price range

 

[doomgiver]

it is one of the best cards in its price range
Tom's hardware
is the 1gb version having gddr5 ram?

 

[topgun84]

for its price range, its the best card there is
go for the 512Mb card coz there is no performance difference b/w the two so might as well spend less

i have a 300 watt psu will it work

 

[doomgiver]

what else are you running with it?

 

[1993gregory]

i have asus p5kpl-am ps
1 TB western digital HDD
160 Gb seagate HDD
2Gb DDr2 ram
dual core E5200@2.50 GHz
and a DVD writer(Samsung)

 

[desiibond]

no. not at all a good idea to run it on a 300W PSU.

 

[topgun84]

get a 450 watt PSU atleast
go for FSP Saga II 500

 

[1993gregory]

how much will it cost

 

[topgun84]

round about 2K
or Corsair VX450 @ 3.5K

 

[MegaMind]

FSP saga ii 400w is the min. req. u can get for 2k
To be future proof,
Corsair cx400 - 2.6k(can power upto 5770 or gtx 460 768mb)
or
vx450 - 3.5k(can power upto 560ti or 6950 2gb)

5670 is a nice card for a nice price tag. Get a 400W PSU or a 500W (if u want to crossfire in future if ur motherboard supports)

I'm using it with a 400W PSU

Are u suggesting generic PSUs?

cx400/FSP 500 is enough for 5670
and yes, for the price range 5670 is a winner!!
