AMD's lower-mainstream DirectX 11 compliant graphics card slated for Q1-2010, the ATI Radeon HD 5670 has been pictured and detailed, sourced from a [H]ardOCP HardForum community member. The HD 5600 series is based on a 40 nm GPU codenamed "Redwood". From the specifications the GPU-Z screenshot shows, it has a 50% downscaled SIMD engine, with 400 stream processors, while it retains the 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, with 16 ROPs. Assuming the clock speeds shown in the screenshot to be the reference speeds, they are 775 MHz for the core, and 1000 MHz for the 1 GB of memory (resulting in 64 GB/s of memory bandwidth).

low power consumption cards for some reason always make me giggle on the inside.

but none the less, i want this.

good find darkside!

Looks a little spartan on the PCB, the performance gain is good though. I wanna see CF scores.

what would this in crossfire compare to?

I'm going to take a guess , and say in xfire it will perform between the 5770 and 5850.

Yeah.. Kinda pitiful looking but it should back itself up real nice

It's all empty lookin' on the board there (a look I don't like) but I'd bet the reference heatsink unit is going to cover that area up anyways.

I want one.

until HD6000 if it's really as beastly and new as they say.

Agreed, that is one naked looking PCB. I think my X-fi has more chips on the board!

If they release a fanless version I'll be quietly adding a card to my HTPC upgrade wish list

I wonder if there will be an AGP version of this card, like there was of the 4670. If so, then this will be the choice for my Athlon XP system.

gr8!! finally a non pcie connector card i wanna know when its coming, the price and benchmarks (& CF) against the hd 4670 ddr4, ya think its worth the upgrade?

Wow, ATI are really driving for market segmentation by leaving such huge performance gaps between 58xx/57xx/56xx series. I almost wish the 56xx series had the current 57xx specs so a 57xx series could come out as a refresh that filled in massive SP gap between the 1600/1440 SP 58xx series and the 800/720 SP of the current 57xx.

As it stands ATI has model numbered themselves into a bit of a corner. Of course, we could see 5830's & 5790's fill in the gap later so perhaps all this ranting is utterly meaningless.

On Topic: The 5670 looks like it'll be a fantastic low power card (and probably MUCH faster than the old 4670). Can't wait for the reviews.

would this be a whole lot better than my 9800? because this is the low end of their new line. i would love to have a newer card that has some better specs than what i have now

it should perform on par with a 4830 so it would be better but only by a little. i still don't think it would be an upgrade unless you want dx11. it doesn't seem to have eyefinity support.

I think it would probably on par with your 9800GT.

Good little card.

Looks good.

Is that really the stock cooler though? If so, what's with the outline on the PCB?

IDK. My 4670 a good deal better than a 9600. Maybe almost on par with a 9800. I don't know about the gt naming scheme and stuff. I expect this to be a good deal better than a 9800.
