PowerColor PCS+ 5770 Review

Testing:

Featuring all-new game tests, this benchmark is for use with Vista-based systems. "There are two all-new CPU tests that have been designed around a new 'Physics and Artificial Intelligence-related computation.' CPU test two offers support for physics related hardware." There are four preset levels that correspond to specific resolutions. "Entry" is 1024x768 progressing to "Extreme" at 1920x1200. Of course, each preset can be modified to arrange any number of user designed testing. For our testing, I will use the four presets at all default settings.

Settings:

• Settings (each preset): Default
• Entry: 1024x768
• Performance: 1280x1024
• High: 1680x1050
• Extreme: 1920x1200

3DMark Vantage has the 5770 squeezing between the GTX260 and 4890 at stock, while smashing them both when overclocked. Performance was much higher than the 5750 reviewed a few weeks ago.
