00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,279
So today on my video blog, we're going to be unboxing the XFX Radeon

2
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:11,120
HD5750. Now, I grabbed this at the same time as the 5750, which I have on the

3
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:15,120
table next to me. And you can see there's a quick size comparison here,

4
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:19,039
but we're going to show with the 5750 later, so don't focus too much on that

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:23,199
there, cameraman. Uh, let's get this box open. You can see it arrived in a little

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:27,199
bit better shape than our 5750 box with no obvious dents. So, we won't be

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:32,399
putting the packaging to the test today. Uh from the front, it does not come with

8
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:37,840
any games, which the other ones do. Both of the 5800 series XFX cards come with

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:42,960
uh what is that game? Dirt 2. And then the 5770 comes with Battle Forge, which

10
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:46,719
actually has a DirectX11 patch available now. So, let's start getting this

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,879
package open. It's a black box just like the other 5000 series cards. We've got a

12
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:55,360
quick installation guide right on the top. So, that shows you the physical installation of the card, including

13
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:59,359
plugging in the power connector. So, this card does still require a six pin

14
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,879
PCI Express connector. Here's your instructions to install the Catalyst

15
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:08,880
drivers, which you should not be following because you should be downloading the latest drivers from the

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:14,000
ATI website. Uh, don't use this disc. It is drivers. Don't use it. Download.

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:19,360
Okay. So, then we have the XFX door hanger thing so that uh you can not be

18
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:24,159
disturbed while you are gaming. And then we have the accessories. Wow, that is an

19
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:29,680
empty accessory package. you have a power adapter. That was it. So, if you

20
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:36,159
wanted to use this card with a VGA monitor, you will need to have uh your

21
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:41,759
own adapter. You can't adapt the DVI one with the accessories in the box. Now,

22
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,280
that is a tiny card. Wow. This cooler

23
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:48,799
actually kind of reminds me of the one that was on the 4770. So, let's pull this out here and

24
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:52,960
let's have a quick look. Okay. The first thing I really like about this card is

25
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:56,640
you've got a huge fan on it. So, this is actually a dual slot cooler. And you can

26
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:00,640
see here, this is this part is just shroud, but you've got a big flower type

27
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:04,960
heat sink here. And what that means is that this does not have to spin very

28
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,560
fast because this is not a very uh powerful card in the sense that it

29
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:13,360
doesn't consume a lot of power. So, that means you're not going to have a lot of excess heat and this thing should run

30
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:17,680
really cool. So, first thing, let's do the back connectors. You got the

31
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:22,160
standard stuff for the 5800 series. Two DVI, one HDMI, and one DisplayPort.

32
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,800
You've got your standard Crossfire connectors on the top. Then you've got

33
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:31,599
at the back a six pin power connector. Then you can see that this is a standard

34
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:35,920
PCI Express 16x card. So there is your connector along the bottom. On the back

35
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,879
of the card itself, you can see that it doesn't have a shroud like the very

36
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,480
high-end ones, but it does have a protective back plate. So that's going

37
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:44,800
to hold on that cooler if in the event that it should come off when you're

38
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:48,560
shipping a system or something like that. You can see all the RAM chips on

39
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:53,920
the back. And one thing I really wanted to do was a quick size comparison with

40
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:56,560
the whole 5800 series family. So it's

41
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:01,440
actually really easy to see which one the high-end ones are versus the ones

42
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:04,319
that are the lower-end cards. So at the very top here, if I can get the

43
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,760
cameraman to kind of come over top and pan all the way down, I'm going to point

44
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:13,200
out which ones are which. So this is the 5870. This is the highestend 5800 series

45
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:19,120
card at the time of filming. This is the 5850. These two cards are based on

46
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:22,720
basically the same platform. So, there's a little bit of difference in clock

47
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:26,800
speed, but these are the 5800's. Now, when we step down, we've got the 5770.

48
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,879
This is more like a performance mid-range card that is about on par,

49
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:36,440
maybe a little bit slower than the GTX 260. And then there is a slightly step

50
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:40,319
down version of the 5770, and that's the 5750, which we're looking at today.

51
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,920
Thank you for checking out my video blog on the Radeon 5750.
