[zeus13th]

5750 & 5750 vapor-X , How Much Difference? Worth the Money?

[danny29914]

how can it have memory clock 4640 when mine has up to 1430???????????

[kraig800i]

I'm planning on building a workstation for video editing and hope to have a 40" Sony Bravia and a 22" LG monitor. Will this be any good ?

If not, what would you recommend for a budget of £200

[Landak36]

hey dude. i need your help about lagging on gaming pc. I got Motherboard Gigabyte GA-770T-D3L Amd Phenom x2 555 BE (stock cooler) Sapphire HD5750 Vapor~X WD HDD 500 GB sata 3 4 GB corsair value DDR3 1333MHZ Samsung DVD RW+ 2 LED cooling fan Gigabyte Superb 550watt im playing cod black ops and got some lags. Did i need to change a new psu or quad core processor? Give me your opinion. Thanks :)

[marutsethi]

hey guys..is sapphire HD 5750 good for 3D gaming?

[stephmc111]

yes you might want to fix the title. your trying to sell the product rather than a simple run through of what the card has to offer.

[flogman62]

this was the most informative infomercial I've ever seen... wait what? This was a review... No... It was not.

[AspiringPotato]

Perhaps I will finally get a pc that can play half life 1 without lagging.

[EUGamerz]

I LOVE MY HD 5750 :D

[zomcom55]

thank you sapphire for contributing to this review that doesn't scream bribe

[pfizerbob2000]

@zomcom55 lol

[Kobaganda]

He's just reading the crap Sapphire shoved in front of him. Does he actually think for himself in these reviews?!

[holastickboy]

For those who are looking for a cheap upgrade to their aging Geforce 8800gt or 9800gt, this card does the job nicely (speaking from experience). I recently replaced my 9800gt with this card, and so far I am not having any issues running games with it. I normally run everything at full settings, though I normally run texture filtering at 1x Anisotropic and turn AA off. Btw, my monitor runs at a resolution of 2560x1440, so it does a good job considering.

[Keruaran]

@jbrige lol dude, that comment is from nearly a year ago XD

[KUTroy]

Is this quiet enough for a HTPC?

[Nintendo129]

hey should i buy the vapor-x 5750 or the iceq 5750?

[Jefneurotoxin]

@Nintendo129 the vapor-x is already overclock

[ochibi131]

is this better than hd4850 ice q4 turbo x?

[Jefneurotoxin]

@ochibi131 yes this card overclock better max 870mhz the 4850 cant do that.

[mbe102]

I like the way you review dude, definetly subbed :D!

[Seirios86]

is this card cooling alright?

because my two previous ati cards (4850 hd 512 and 4870 hd 1gb)

both had overheating problems after a few months.

[ArcanePath360]

@Seirios86 both cards overheating suggests your case may be at fault with it's airflow. running this kind of card I would rec at least 1 input and 1 output large case fan, and if you have filters like my case, run these over a hoover to make sure they're not clogged with dust. In fact it can't hurt to hoover out the PC if you don't have dust filters.

[CrossyCriss]

will a 5750 vapor x and a athlon ii x4 620 run bad company 2 on max settings without lag?

[micprn]

@CrossyCriss

FUCKING YES.

[CrossyCriss]

@micprn ok lol

[piwoot]

whats the differance between the 512mb version and the 1 GB version? 

[liltitch1997]

best card for 150 pounds for gaming and editing videos?

[Usul573]

@liltitch1997

I don't think graphics cards help out with editing videos, they might be able to help though.

5750 or 5770 are both plenty powerful.

[Moigex]

is there big diffrent between 5750 and 5770? i wanna buy GPU for gaming what is better?

[Jefneurotoxin]

@Moigex The 5750 is cheaper, but is a little bit slower than the 5770 obviously

[muiecyrus]

Nice ! I have the same card and there is something bugging me. On the top of the card you have 3 green led. Do they stay always on ? On mine one led flickers all the time. Is that normal ?

[Mrbluecheese101]

I have question if u have ATI radeon x and a game requires ATi radeon 9600, can it still work??? Answer as fast as posible

[abom4u]

Hey, can i run this card with a 400PSU? Some people say it can and others say it might struggle, i have a quad core 4 sticks of DDR2 RAM, a Asus P45 mobo, and a 120mm fan. Can anyone help me?

[marca0]

hi ppl, do u think i can use it with a 500w power suply?

[Ksquaredgaming]

@marca0 yep

[BoyzLightenKingz]

can i run this card with a 300 power supply? I'm using a quad core proccessor, will that help run it?

[Usul573]

@BoyzLightenKingz

Nope.

5670 probably will work on 300 watts.

[TheVidzor]

why not just add a few more bucks and get a 5770?

[p00nji]

how about the 5850 vapor x? i have the toxic one that is clocked at 735 mhz

[Metallica891FAN]

Does Drit 2 come with "Sapphire Radeon HD 5750 1GB GDDR5 Vapor-X"?

[stormshadow2100]

Awesum review motherboardsorg,i just purchased a pair just for there DX11 factor and eye infinity ..woohooo ..

[AmH032uTuBe]

4:28

What the!!!

Seriously...

My non vapor-x 5770 (Which should be hotter for the higher clocked GPU and the fact that it's not Vapor-x) idles at 31C and games at (don't know load) around 41C... 44C after a while.

though it is a non reference 5770. The Sapphire 5770 New Edition

[littlecissy]

@AmH032uTuBe Maybe the sensor is wrong.

[Yuyin0x]

so it's a cool graphic card or nt?...coz im thinking on buying it.

[sKoTyo]

Sweet.. im so stoked, i ordered 1 2day. Cant wait til it arrives dammm

[Keruaran]

It's great value. Same price range as the GTS250 but It will give you more FPS, has Vapor-X cooling, ATI Eyefinity. Sweet...

[TheZombiePanda]

I'm going to get two of these cards, hopefully that'll be equally as good as the GTX295.

[Psychologiker]

ooohm...mistake? the review says 1.008 teraflops (see 1:32 ) vs more than 2 teraflpos at 3:14 ? can anyone explain?

[bambihumper]

is this card good for cod4 and cod6? could i run it in max resolution?

[0xXCSSXx0]

3:08 what the........ he ses 5870.....

[akafede]

FOR DX 11 support under vista you have to install vista SP2 so check it out on windows update

[pornstar7g]

you should get hd 5770

[joebombable]

Is he just reading everything off the box?

[zoidbetag]

Damn, i'm getting this :D

[rossmart34]

Show some clocks and stability tests, don't just read from the box. Seems like only the overclockers give solid bench reviews now-a-days, the rest are just ads.

[aparafusadora]

Hey! I have a nvidia 9600GS and I want to upgrade it, but, i have a doubt about getting a sapphire hd 5750 or the 4870, what should I get? Thanks

[freaktube4]

no 5750 is nearly as powerful as the 4870

, it supports dx11 and it has a display port

[nickshor]

i have display port on my 4870 too :)

[freaktube4]

but not dx 11 though

[nickshor]

no , and i'm sorry that i don't have it , it looks great:(

[ESTrist]

5750 or 4770 ?

[hootis8]

5750 newer and supports dx11 = better preformance

[ESTrist]

@hootis8 and faster?

[drs2328]

True,it does have the advantage of DX11,but the 4870 is a much more powerful card.

[freaktube4]

no 5750 is nearly as powerful as the 4870

[WorldSpecialTV]

haha

5%

because the 4870 is a lil bit bigger !

hey can anyone help me ?

i just bought the hd5750

and it runs amazing.

but i watched on control panel for video settings and there says no dx11:(!!!!!!!!!!

only dx10 ! pls help ! i got vista NO Win 7

[drs2328]

You need windows 7 to run dx 11. Just like XP only supports dx 9 and vista supports dx 10.

[WorldSpecialTV]

yeah but my new video card comes with dx11 . THE HD5750 have dx11 right ?

do i need to buy win 7 now ?

[SqueakLP]

wrong vista will support dx11, and you can run dx10 on XP ;) (although for dx10 and xp you need a hack kinda thing)

[mattabiko24]

yes mine also XP with dx10....

[mattabiko24]

Hi, im using XP sp3 i just bought vapor 5750... so how can i upgrade to support bx10?.... change the OS?...

[gordon9821]

Yes. In order to access DirectX 10, you must upgrade to Windows Vista or Windows 7. You're better off with upgrading to Windows 7 since it supports DirectX 11. Your Video card supports DirectX 11 as well so it only makes sense yo go with Windows 7. WIndows 7 is also a vastly improved OS over Vista.

[mattabiko24]

but my system runs dx10...

yes i agreed with u wins 7 is much better then vista.. in gaming terms also XP & win7 far much better then vista...

[gordon9821]

Windows XP only goes up to DX9, not DX10.

[mattabiko24]

yes i know XP can support dx9 only, but y i can use dx10?.. i check on dxdiag it shows DX10.0 (4.10.0000.5515) i no lie!.... if my xp cant run dx10 then i have to reinstall dx9 again...

[Keruaran]

"to access DirectX 10, you must upgrade to Windows Vista..."

No, you only have to hack a config file. Dx10 is a load of BS.

"better off with upgrading to Windows 7 since it supports DirectX 11"

Only cause most of the PC gaming industry has bought into Microsoft's propaganda. Do the research - Dx11 is not "unrivaled" but more realistically it is *almost* as good as OpenGL.

Windows 7 isn't "vastly" improved over Vista. It's little more than Vista SP2 with an interface refresh.

Facts not spin.

[gordon9821]

Even if you do the DX10 hack, it doesn't unlock all DirectX10 features.

Also, Windows 7 is actually very much improved. It may not look much different, but it's mostly under the hood stuff. I still think Vista was a good FPS, just it was a little rushed and Windows 7 is pretty much what Vista should have been. The compatibility of devices and programs on windows 7 is a lot better, along with many other things.

[Keruaran]

No, its called marketing.

[gordon9821]

Have you ever used Windows 7? It doesn't sound like it.

[Keruaran]

I work in IT, I use Windows 7 regularly. If you don't like the facts, I don't care.

[gordon9821]

Your "facts" aren't entirely true. Also I just noticed that in one of my posts above I referred to Vista as an FPS. What the hell was I smoking at the time lol.

[rohultima]

no..

vista and w7 will both support dx11

[Fatloph]

is the HD5750 good for games? I'm checking out a computer with it and i wonder if it's good .

[WorldSpecialTV]

yes its good for games.

i had vista but know i got the win 7 ultimate and it runs amazing.

the hot thing is that i can run the dirt 2 game:all maxed out full resolution

and all that with 35 -40 fps

and my system isnt that good:

amd x2

2 GB ddr2

[tarangkhaitan]

@Fatloph its at par with ati 4870

[Keruaran]

"is the HD5750 good for games?"

Affirmative. :)

[anguyen4564]

i think its on the same level as the gtx 260 or better so yeah it is

[Usul573]

Looks like the GTX 260 probably can beat it most of the time.

[kaczynski123]

no my gtx 260 rapes this

[HarryPotterFan018]

she is perfect

is nice

[rohultima]

dx11 IS NOT OUT YET

once its released you can have it on vista nd w7

[drs2328]

lol,direct x 11 came out with windows 7.Dirt 2 is a direct x 11 game if you have the hardware to support it.

[WorldSpecialTV]

lol who told u this crap

man i got this card for 5 months now

and hell yeah i got win 7 and i got dx11.

and i got dirt 2 to test it out

and battlefield bad company 2 beta test is also dx11

i got it too

both are dx11//////REAL DX11

[JabbaFanzz]

@WorldSpecialTV have you Sapphire HD 5750 Vapor-X 1GB?? if you do................tell me on what settings you are playing bad company 2.pls

[TheLiLegacy]

How much are these running for? I just bought a 5770 2-3weeks ago, and now I wish I waited a little.. =\

[motherboardsorg]

Its just about twenty bucks over a standard one...

[Mupp1t]

you think i could run a 2 5870's and 1 gtx 300 when it comes out and i can run it for physX? just something im curious about

[arberiscrazy]

You wont able to. Since physx works with nvidia gpu's only. A gt300 is expected to preform 5 times faster than a single 5870. This may be possible with a lucid hydra pcie controller though. The best bet is to wait for the gt300 sli 2 of them and buy a gts250 for dedicated physx

[roshawn1111]

5 times i think thats a bullshit ass lie

[mattabiko24]

agreed!... ati kicks gt ass!...

[roshawn1111]

yeah nvidia a fake ass company

[TheLiLegacy]

Ahh, tyvm for your reply.

[AmH032uTuBe]

@motherboardsorg - I was thinking for X-MAS or my b-day of getting another 5770 to put in CrossFire. I currently own the 2nd edition of the Sapphire 5770s. It's the one which the plastic shroud is oval/diamond-ish shaped (it's non-reference, it's got copper heatpipes). For about £125 I can get a 5770 Vapor-X, and for £103 (atm) I can get the 3rd edition (non-referene) non-VaporX 5770 from Sapphire. Should I get that or the Vapor-X version? It's only a 100MHz Core increase, is it ANY better?

[meishongzai]

@AmH032uTuBe hmm u get ATi 6850 is more better..50% more perfomace...or ATi6870 double performance to ATi 5750.

[AmH032uTuBe]

@meishongzai - I believe I've found the one I'm looking for.

from OverclockersUK

I'm just getting another 5770.

It's cheaper than a 6870, and I can actually use both, and have like 98% of the performance of the 5870.

[meishongzai]

@meishongzai A good idea,badly my motherboard cant support crossfire :((((

[georgeparask1994]

I really love the vapor-x design...now I got a Sapphire Vapor-X HD 4850 and my next video card will almost surely be a vapor-x again!

Can you imagine?...35C when idling!!!

[I9kieran94]

wow the performance in resi 5 is really good.

[mentanx]

PCI-E 2.1? PCI-E 2.0 Will work also right?

[I9kieran94]

it will still work but the card wont work as well as it should

[mentanx]

this is kinda weird. because there's no such a thing as pci-e 2.1, i'll just wait for pci-e 3.0 for next year :D

[Macycrystal]

Yes it will.

[4ourTimber]

is this card worth to buy? cuz in a cheaper price, i can get a 4850 which the performance is fairly same

[motherboardsorg]

Its a good card for the money,,, its cooling and overclocking are its main features....

Elric

[TheMRamstaff]

no the perf is not fairly same the 5 series have dx11 and it is a great difference so in my op the 5770 deserves a look at (y got 2 for under the price of a 5870 but more the performance)

[dreampilot2]

Just get a 4870 and you will be very happy.

[roshawn1111]

and dont forget that this card has dx11 and uses way less power than a 4850, also this card wen overclocked comes close to a 4890

[HackingSaint]

what tool do you suggest using for overclocking, since i just got this card :)

[roshawn1111]

ati Overdrive it shold have came with the catalyst drivers

[HackingSaint]

yep it did ;)

[roshawn1111]

lol it did wat?

[HackingSaint]

it came with catalyst drivers.

[roshawn1111]

oh yeah just us overdrive

[TheNavigator96]

@4ourTimber you are noob!!! don't compare a 5750 with 4850 because has a 4850 and sometimes when he plays games.. Suddenly appears diamonds in the whole screen and you should to turn down the game

[4ourTimber]

@TheNavigator96 i commented that 7months ago wow....

[bigdima3]

sweet ,

[hdwblade]

OOoooohhhh... I like it. I wonder if there's any other Vapor-X 5xxx Series cards? Hmm... I'll just hafta take a look n see xD

[rohultima]

5770 from sapphire has vapor x as well

[asslister]

lol u can see the rendering of the vidoe at 4:38

[4ourTimber]

not really the rendering but juz the editing of the video

[PS3andPCgamereviews]

So really, this is a 4850? it seams to beat out the 4770 in a long shot, and the 4770 is a tie with the 4850..

[getlow1985]

its a 5750

[PS3andPCgamereviews]

I know.. i'm saying the 5750 has the same performance as the 4850.

[dardraa]

I want the Nvidia 300 series D:

[hahaha10001]

I WANT ONE!
