so today on my video blog we're going to be unboxing the Radeon 5770 this is one
of four direct X11 cards that ati's launched and we're actually going to
show you the whole family shortly we'll be unboxing the 5750 50 on my blog next
but not quite yet and then I'm going to do a quick size comparison against the
5870 which is here and the 5850 so you
can get an idea of how these cards compare to each other so uh you can see
that our box is a little bit beat up here but we're going to find out just
how good XFX packaging is at protecting the card during transport should it get
banged around a little bit okay so let's
break the seal here get this open you can see the packaging is actually quite
similar to XFX is other 5800 series cards so you got kind of a shoe box
style package we're going to just pull it open oh yeah I forgot about this this
is included only with the 5770 not with
the 50 card and not with the 5800 series cards but it is a copy of battle Forge
so you peel that off for the product key I won't be doing that today since
someone will want this card at some point so here we've got a quick
installation guide which is just your basics for how to install the card and
it's uh quite small and it shows you how to plug it into your power supply
awesome here is the installation guide so this one covers your driver
installation and that's about it so really you shouldn't be using this guide
anyway you should be downloading the latest drivers off ati.com and that
brings us to our driver installation CD ignore this download the latest drivers
off ati.com now we've got I mean I think this
thing's pretty cool do not disturb I'm gaming this seems to come with all of
their gaming cards these AG you got your little door hanger not that your mom's
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
Express connector so that tells us that there's probably only one power plug on
this card we've got a crossfire bridge and a DVI to VGA adapter should you
still require that at this point and
here we have the card itself so you can
see that even on the beat up corner of our box which is right here it hasn't
even gotten close to the card so there's no risk of any damage based on uh what
we've seen from XFX is packaging here so let's get the anti-static bag out and
there is the card itself so why don't we start let's start with the connectors
actually so first of all you've got two DVI connectors one HDMI and one display
port so this is the same connector set as the 5800 series cards that means you
can plug in three monitors and use this card for ifinity this is a PCI Express
16x card and you can see we've got again the same fan that they're using on the
higher end card so you can expect it to be quite quiet because and this is
another thing you'll notice about it immediately it only has one six pin
power connector so this is a very low power consumption card compared to the
top of the Range Gaming cards from the side you can see we've got a black with
red trim sort of look with the ATI Radeon branding here and just like the
5850 the back is not not covered by a black shroud and it just has a simple
back plate and it also has RAM chips on the back unlike the higher end cards so
you can actually see the RAM on the back should you desire that anyway I think
that just about covers it thank you for checking out my blog on the XFX Ron
5770
