WEBVTT

00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:07.080
so I'm doing a quick unboxing of the powercolor Radeon 5750 the reason I went

00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:11.960
with this one this is actually for a little build I'm doing for my parents

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:15.480
they uh they killed their laptop somehow or other I don't question it at a

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

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

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

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

00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:34.559
you're going to be running 7 is to go with something that features directx11

00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:38.760
they're not heavy gaming Gamers obviously so we're looking at something

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

00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:47.600
terms of direct X11 video cards and the reason I went with the powercolor one

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:50.800
was because it was the best price and also powercolor has been doing they've

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:54.239
been making huge strides in the North American Market lately and so they do a

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

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

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:08.799
transferred to their Media Center down the line down the line which could

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:13.400
potentially happen the 5,000 series cards feature 7.1 audio which they are

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

00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:20.439
later on even when it's not good for gaming anymore then great actually I

00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:26.960
should show you the quick like feature breakdown so 128bit memory interface PCI

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:29.560
Express 2 uh 40 Nom direct X11 stream

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:34.159
technology Crossfire X avivo HD enhanced UniFi video decoder 2 for Blu-ray and HD

00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:38.079
content which is a really cool feature because it means that the card will

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:41.799
decode your Blu-ray content and then built in HDMI with 7.1 surround sound

00:01:40.119 --> 00:01:45.399
which I already mentioned so it comes in a fairly plain brown box once you get

00:01:43.479 --> 00:01:50.479
inside the retail packaging and once you open that up you will find a fairly

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

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

00:01:58.600 --> 00:02:05.719
get wow nothing no accessories whatsoever

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

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

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

00:02:16.040 --> 00:02:22.319
pin PCI Express connector which this card will require and they show you how

00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:25.080
to handle your graphics card and it unfolds a little something like that

00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:30.720
okay comes in about eight different languages terrific and then we've got

00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:33.080
the card itself so I'm not expecting

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:36.480
there to be anything stand itish about this

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:40.319
5750 actually it looks like that cooler is designed by Arctic cooling I'm

00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:43.920
guessing right now I'm actually guessing but it looks like we're using a quite

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

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

00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:57.840
aluminum fins okay so you can see here we've got our standard PCI Express uh

00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:01.239
Power connector back here that's a six pin connector as you can see and and

00:02:59.959 --> 00:03:06.280
then you've got your power delivery circuitry you've got all the memory is

00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:07.280
cooled actively by the fan so if I don't

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

00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:14.920
chips are so they all lie directly under

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

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

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:27.280
got your standard PCI Express 2.0 interface here actually I think it's 2.1

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

00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:33.560
512 uh Meg version or a 1 gig version so

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

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

00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:47.840
find VGA DVI and HDMI so unlike many

00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:51.560
other 5,000 series cards we do not have DisplayPort technology on this card

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

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:00.480
uh we've got our two Crossfire connectors here and are you looking at

00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:04.319
those you can see those oh okay two Crossfire connectors here and then

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:08.519
you've got uh four more memory modules on the back thank you for checking out

00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:12.000
my quick unboxing of the Radeon 5750 from Power color
