00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,439
so today on my video blog we're going to be unboxing the Radeon 5770 this is one

2
00:00:04,759 --> 00:00:10,400
of four direct X11 cards that ati's launched and we're actually going to

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:15,759
show you the whole family shortly we'll be unboxing the 5750 50 on my blog next

4
00:00:13,719 --> 00:00:21,800
but not quite yet and then I'm going to do a quick size comparison against the

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,400
5870 which is here and the 5850 so you

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:27,240
can get an idea of how these cards compare to each other so uh you can see

7
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:31,640
that our box is a little bit beat up here but we're going to find out just

8
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:36,879
how good XFX packaging is at protecting the card during transport should it get

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,000
banged around a little bit okay so let's

10
00:00:36,879 --> 00:00:43,879
break the seal here get this open you can see the packaging is actually quite

11
00:00:41,239 --> 00:00:47,199
similar to XFX is other 5800 series cards so you got kind of a shoe box

12
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:52,320
style package we're going to just pull it open oh yeah I forgot about this this

13
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:55,000
is included only with the 5770 not with

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:59,039
the 50 card and not with the 5800 series cards but it is a copy of battle Forge

15
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:02,280
so you peel that off for the product key I won't be doing that today since

16
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:06,080
someone will want this card at some point so here we've got a quick

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:10,439
installation guide which is just your basics for how to install the card and

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:14,280
it's uh quite small and it shows you how to plug it into your power supply

19
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:19,080
awesome here is the installation guide so this one covers your driver

20
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:21,880
installation and that's about it so really you shouldn't be using this guide

21
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:26,920
anyway you should be downloading the latest drivers off ati.com and that

22
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:30,320
brings us to our driver installation CD ignore this download the latest drivers

23
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,240
off ati.com now we've got I mean I think this

24
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,079
thing's pretty cool do not disturb I'm gaming this seems to come with all of

25
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,360
their gaming cards these AG you got your little door hanger not that your mom's

26
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:46,200
actually going to pay attention to that she's going to be like no no it's time for dinner uh we have one Molex to PCI

27
00:01:44,119 --> 00:01:50,880
Express connector so that tells us that there's probably only one power plug on

28
00:01:48,759 --> 00:01:56,399
this card we've got a crossfire bridge and a DVI to VGA adapter should you

29
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:59,399
still require that at this point and

30
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:01,399
here we have the card itself so you can

31
00:01:59,399 --> 00:02:05,960
see that even on the beat up corner of our box which is right here it hasn't

32
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:11,760
even gotten close to the card so there's no risk of any damage based on uh what

33
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:17,319
we've seen from XFX is packaging here so let's get the anti-static bag out and

34
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,879
there is the card itself so why don't we start let's start with the connectors

35
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:25,560
actually so first of all you've got two DVI connectors one HDMI and one display

36
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:30,239
port so this is the same connector set as the 5800 series cards that means you

37
00:02:27,959 --> 00:02:36,120
can plug in three monitors and use this card for ifinity this is a PCI Express

38
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:39,480
16x card and you can see we've got again the same fan that they're using on the

39
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:43,239
higher end card so you can expect it to be quite quiet because and this is

40
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:47,239
another thing you'll notice about it immediately it only has one six pin

41
00:02:45,239 --> 00:02:51,560
power connector so this is a very low power consumption card compared to the

42
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:55,080
top of the Range Gaming cards from the side you can see we've got a black with

43
00:02:53,280 --> 00:03:00,560
red trim sort of look with the ATI Radeon branding here and just like the

44
00:02:57,879 --> 00:03:04,640
5850 the back is not not covered by a black shroud and it just has a simple

45
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:09,400
back plate and it also has RAM chips on the back unlike the higher end cards so

46
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,959
you can actually see the RAM on the back should you desire that anyway I think

47
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:20,159
that just about covers it thank you for checking out my blog on the XFX Ron

48
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:20,159
5770
