Sapphire HD 5670 1GB Review

Testing:

3DMark06 is one of the benchmarks that always comes up when a bragging contest has begun. 3DMark06 presents a severe test for many of today's hardware components. Let's see how this setup fares. The settings we will use are listed below.

Settings:

• SM2.0 Graphics Tests: GT1- Return to Proxycon, GT2- Firefly Forest
• CPU Tests: CPU1- Red Valley, CPU2- Red Valley
• HDR/SM3.0 Graphics Tests: HDR1- Canyon Flight, HDR2- Deep Freeze

The HD 5670 from Sapphire out performs the GT 240 by a margin that ranges from 1100+ points at 1280x1024 down to just under 1000 points at 1920x1200. This puts the performance well above that of the 4670 but just shy of the 4770.
