00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:07.279
So today on my video blog, we're going to be unboxing the XFX Radeon

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

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:15.120
table next to me. And you can see there's a quick size comparison here,

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

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

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:27.199
bit better shape than our 5750 box with no obvious dents. So, we won't be

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:32.399
putting the packaging to the test today. Uh from the front, it does not come with

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:37.840
any games, which the other ones do. Both of the 5800 series XFX cards come with

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:42.960
uh what is that game? Dirt 2. And then the 5770 comes with Battle Forge, which

00:00:40.879 --> 00:00:46.719
actually has a DirectX11 patch available now. So, let's start getting this

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

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

00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:59.359
plugging in the power connector. So, this card does still require a six pin

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:02.879
PCI Express connector. Here's your instructions to install the Catalyst

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

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:14.000
ATI website. Uh, don't use this disc. It is drivers. Don't use it. Download.

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

00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:24.159
disturbed while you are gaming. And then we have the accessories. Wow, that is an

00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:29.680
empty accessory package. you have a power adapter. That was it. So, if you

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:36.159
wanted to use this card with a VGA monitor, you will need to have uh your

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:41.759
own adapter. You can't adapt the DVI one with the accessories in the box. Now,

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:43.280
that is a tiny card. Wow. This cooler

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

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

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

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

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:04.960
heat sink here. And what that means is that this does not have to spin very

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:08.560
fast because this is not a very uh powerful card in the sense that it

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

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:17.680
really cool. So, first thing, let's do the back connectors. You got the

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:22.160
standard stuff for the 5800 series. Two DVI, one HDMI, and one DisplayPort.

00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:26.800
You've got your standard Crossfire connectors on the top. Then you've got

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

00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:35.920
PCI Express 16x card. So there is your connector along the bottom. On the back

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

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:42.480
high-end ones, but it does have a protective back plate. So that's going

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

00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:48.560
shipping a system or something like that. You can see all the RAM chips on

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:53.920
the back. And one thing I really wanted to do was a quick size comparison with

00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:56.560
the whole 5800 series family. So it's

00:02:53.920 --> 00:03:01.440
actually really easy to see which one the high-end ones are versus the ones

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

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

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:13.200
out which ones are which. So this is the 5870. This is the highestend 5800 series

00:03:10.959 --> 00:03:19.120
card at the time of filming. This is the 5850. These two cards are based on

00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:22.720
basically the same platform. So, there's a little bit of difference in clock

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.

00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:30.879
This is more like a performance mid-range card that is about on par,

00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:36.440
maybe a little bit slower than the GTX 260. And then there is a slightly step

00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:40.319
down version of the 5770, and that's the 5750, which we're looking at today.

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:43.920
Thank you for checking out my video blog on the Radeon 5750.
