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

00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:10.400
of four direct X11 cards that ati's launched and we're actually going to

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

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

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:23.400
5870 which is here and the 5850 so you

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

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

00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:36.879
how good XFX packaging is at protecting the card during transport should it get

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:39.000
banged around a little bit okay so let's

00:00:36.879 --> 00:00:43.879
break the seal here get this open you can see the packaging is actually quite

00:00:41.239 --> 00:00:47.199
similar to XFX is other 5800 series cards so you got kind of a shoe box

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

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:55.000
is included only with the 5770 not with

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

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

00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:06.080
someone will want this card at some point so here we've got a quick

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:10.439
installation guide which is just your basics for how to install the card and

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

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:19.080
awesome here is the installation guide so this one covers your driver

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:21.880
installation and that's about it so really you shouldn't be using this guide

00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:26.920
anyway you should be downloading the latest drivers off ati.com and that

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:30.320
brings us to our driver installation CD ignore this download the latest drivers

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:33.240
off ati.com now we've got I mean I think this

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

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:39.360
their gaming cards these AG you got your little door hanger not that your mom's

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

00:01:44.119 --> 00:01:50.880
Express connector so that tells us that there's probably only one power plug on

00:01:48.759 --> 00:01:56.399
this card we've got a crossfire bridge and a DVI to VGA adapter should you

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:59.399
still require that at this point and

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:01.399
here we have the card itself so you can

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

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

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

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

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:25.560
actually so first of all you've got two DVI connectors one HDMI and one display

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:30.239
port so this is the same connector set as the 5800 series cards that means you

00:02:27.959 --> 00:02:36.120
can plug in three monitors and use this card for ifinity this is a PCI Express

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

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:43.239
higher end card so you can expect it to be quite quiet because and this is

00:02:42.040 --> 00:02:47.239
another thing you'll notice about it immediately it only has one six pin

00:02:45.239 --> 00:02:51.560
power connector so this is a very low power consumption card compared to the

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

00:02:53.280 --> 00:03:00.560
red trim sort of look with the ATI Radeon branding here and just like the

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

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

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:13.959
you can actually see the RAM on the back should you desire that anyway I think

00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:20.159
that just about covers it thank you for checking out my blog on the XFX Ron

00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.159
