Sapphire HD 5570 1GB 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 three presets at all default settings.

Settings:

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

The HD 5570 did pretty well in this benchmark and, once overclocked, it had performance that was very similar to the HD 5670 and 9600 GT.
