1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,080
so I'm doing a quick unboxing of the powercolor Radeon 5750 the reason I went

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:11,960
with this one this is actually for a little build I'm doing for my parents

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:15,480
they uh they killed their laptop somehow or other I don't question it at a

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:19,520
certain point and uh they said okay well we want to go with a desktop this time

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,119
around so I said okay and they said well what's the best thing and you know my

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:27,359
sister wants to run Sims 3 and whatever it is the kids whatever games it is the

7
00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:30,759
kids play these days you know how it is so I said okay well your best bet if

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:34,559
you're going to be running 7 is to go with something that features directx11

9
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:38,760
they're not heavy gaming Gamers obviously so we're looking at something

10
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:43,719
like uh a fairly low-end video card so the 5750 is the most basic out there in

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,600
terms of direct X11 video cards and the reason I went with the powercolor one

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,800
was because it was the best price and also powercolor has been doing they've

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:54,239
been making huge strides in the North American Market lately and so they do a

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:59,600
really good job of their support and it had a $10 Mr on it so if I get the Mr

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,719
then great um another reason I've gone with this is because if it ever does get

16
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:08,799
transferred to their Media Center down the line down the line which could

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:13,400
potentially happen the 5,000 series cards feature 7.1 audio which they are

18
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,840
fully set up for so I figured hey well if this is something that we can use

19
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:20,439
later on even when it's not good for gaming anymore then great actually I

20
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:26,960
should show you the quick like feature breakdown so 128bit memory interface PCI

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,560
Express 2 uh 40 Nom direct X11 stream

22
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:34,159
technology Crossfire X avivo HD enhanced UniFi video decoder 2 for Blu-ray and HD

23
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:38,079
content which is a really cool feature because it means that the card will

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,799
decode your Blu-ray content and then built in HDMI with 7.1 surround sound

25
00:01:40,119 --> 00:01:45,399
which I already mentioned so it comes in a fairly plain brown box once you get

26
00:01:43,479 --> 00:01:50,479
inside the retail packaging and once you open that up you will find a fairly

27
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:55,880
plain brown box inside the brown box which is not really even a box it's more

28
00:01:53,200 --> 00:02:00,200
like um more like an insert so there it is okay so in terms of accessories we

29
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:05,719
get wow nothing no accessories whatsoever

30
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:09,239
with this card it is uh there must be a reason that it was the uh the least

31
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:14,599
expensive one and I guess that's it that's okay I have all that stuff on hand anyway it's not really a big deal

32
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,840
okay you get a quick installation guide where they show you how to plug in a six

33
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:22,319
pin PCI Express connector which this card will require and they show you how

34
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,080
to handle your graphics card and it unfolds a little something like that

35
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:30,720
okay comes in about eight different languages terrific and then we've got

36
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:33,080
the card itself so I'm not expecting

37
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,480
there to be anything stand itish about this

38
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:40,319
5750 actually it looks like that cooler is designed by Arctic cooling I'm

39
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:43,920
guessing right now I'm actually guessing but it looks like we're using a quite

40
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:47,640
large diameter fan it looks like an 80 mil fan and it's got a lot of blades so

41
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:53,480
I'm guessing it's going to spin quite slowly and rely more on the static pressure to keep air flowing through the

42
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:57,840
aluminum fins okay so you can see here we've got our standard PCI Express uh

43
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,239
Power connector back here that's a six pin connector as you can see and and

44
00:02:59,959 --> 00:03:06,280
then you've got your power delivery circuitry you've got all the memory is

45
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:07,280
cooled actively by the fan so if I don't

46
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:13,239
know if you're going to be able to see this but if you look through the fins you can see that's where the memory

47
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,920
chips are so they all lie directly under

48
00:03:13,239 --> 00:03:18,720
where the fan is blowing down which is really nice to see I mean memory doesn't

49
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:22,959
really need to be actively cooled these days but it's never a bad thing you've

50
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:27,280
got your standard PCI Express 2.0 interface here actually I think it's 2.1

51
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:32,080
but it is kind of irrelevant and then this is this is kind of funny there's a

52
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,560
512 uh Meg version or a 1 gig version so

53
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,840
you can see someone's put a little pen Mark right here on the card this is the

54
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:45,040
1 gig version thank you for calling that out for me guys okay on the back we will

55
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:47,840
find VGA DVI and HDMI so unlike many

56
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:51,560
other 5,000 series cards we do not have DisplayPort technology on this card

57
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:56,319
there you go there's another thing that I probably should have noticed before buying it but what are you going to do

58
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:00,480
uh we've got our two Crossfire connectors here and are you looking at

59
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:04,319
those you can see those oh okay two Crossfire connectors here and then

60
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:08,519
you've got uh four more memory modules on the back thank you for checking out

61
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:12,000
my quick unboxing of the Radeon 5750 from Power color
