Sapphire HD 5670 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 the four presets at all default settings.

Settings:

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

Except for the "Entry" score the Sapphire HD 5670 stays neck in neck with the GT 240, physically beating it in only 1 of the 3 resolutions. But it does stay close enough to make it a contest.
