AMD has kicked itself into high gear, pushing its ATI graphics division to produce the Radeon HD 5000 series way before main competitor Nvidia could respond. Having built momentum with the launch of the Radeon 5870 last month, the rest of the new...

Near–HD 4870 performance at a budget price AMD has wasted no time bringing its DirectX 11 GPU architecture to a more affordable, mainstream-class GPU in the HD 5770. HIS is one of the first manufacturers to bring the HD 5770 to market. At around...

Well is this a product which everybody just has to get? Not really. While it does post some nice scores in our benchmarks, they are not as blistering fast as we could have hoped. Sure, as the mid-range card, you really cannot expect it to beat every...

You know, I started testing the cards without looking at it's final pricing. My initial reaction was that the 5770 is going to be a very capable, mature and feature rich DX11 class graphics card. I did however expect a little more bite in...
