GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5570 DirectX 11 GV-R557OC-1GI 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: Windows 7 rates this card at a 6.7 out of 7.9 for "Desktop performance for Windows Aero" and "3D business and gaming graphics performance". Not to shabby, especially for the price.

Cons: None at all

Pros: Powerful enough card to do most tasks, plays games at full HD settings 1920x1080, with high frame rates (40+fps) Good driver support, High stream processors

Cons: none

Overall Review: Happy with this card, easy install and really impressed with the cards performance.

Pros: Loved this card -- was in use for over 5 years!

Cons: No issues

Pros: Well first off one word...PRICE. i built a high end rig and ran out of cash so this ended up in my system and is flawless was a breeze to install drivers. Also will not take up much case space if thats a worry for some. It is currently running with my AMD 1090 6 core cpu on gigabytes GA890FXA-UD5 with 8 gigs of DDR3 at 1833 with a solid state for the OS and a sata 3 1T hard rive for everything else. so it is by far the cheapest piece of hardware in my rig and i can run everything in max settings so far (keep in mind i am running a standard non HD 20 inch monitor) so if you ran out of cash and need something to get you by or dont have high needs this is a great buy.

Cons: the only thing i can think of is the look of it really...its not too loud and fits great but it deff looks like a low end car =)

Pros: 1 GB of on board video memory. Does not even require a power connection! I do recommend a good power supply. I have it on a Corsair 400 watt and I think it would be better to have the 500. Looks beautiful! I can set Crysis to the highest settings! Crysis 2 runs very well on this modest system! With Win 7 and 4GB of desktop memory, it shows 2800 MB of video memory.

Cons: It isn't a foot long and it doesn't require two 8-pin power connections.

Overall Review: The total system cost in April of 2010 was 700 dollars. Now it would be less than 600. It does all I need it to.

Pros: Slightly faster core speed compared to other brands, i was a little suspicious about pci. exp. 2.1 on a 2.0 motherboard but i didn't have any problems at all and actually i found out that 2.1 works at same speed with 2.0... performance on games is better than i expected from a supposedly low end card, games like crysis (warhead and 2), starcraft 2, left for dead 2, singularity, black ops run on nice graphics with no problems at all, but of course that performance depends on the rest of your system too, i am playing my games at 1024x768 of course... so i am not pushing this card very much...

Cons: NONE

Overall Review: right after i purchased this card i actually found out that there are HD 5670 models available for the similar price and look faster but thats my fault for not looking further and not rushing before purchasing... anyways if you aren't pushing resolutions really high and if not playing games on the highest details possible is not ruining your world, this card will do the job very nicely. but if you are looking for the ultimate gaming card, this might not be it. in my case, this card completed my budget build perfectly. rest of my specs are... BIOSTAR A770E3 AM3 MoBo AMD Phenom II x2 555 (3.2ghz) Cpu 6GB DDR3 1333Mhz Memory and this graphic card

Pros: Easy install, no fuss, great quality and clarity for the rig it's in. Man of few words...building on a budget, buy this card!

Cons: Only problem was my fault, forgot to disable my onboard graphics, kept on finding new hardware after initial install, my 5th build....2 build in less than 1 month...rookie mistake...

Pros: Just got it. It works well with my system, have not tried anything high end with it yet.

Cons: It took me a while to figure out how to properly install this card on Linux, I had to first get the driver for linux and then install it in and it worked, it is unlike other cards which works when you plug it in without installing the driver, otherwise it is a good card.
