INTRODUCTION

The first member of the family of Evergreen on the market in September (2009). AMD has not talked much about what would happen.

AMD chose the 5670-card in the mail last week at CES 2010. The 5600-series chip called Redwood, and now only the Radeon HD 5650 and 5670 chips. The 5600 series is clearly focused on mid-market, as indicated in the launch strategy for AMD at the bottom. AMD will launch two versions ofCard HD 5670 1GB GDDR5 memory and another with 512 MB of GDDR5 memory. This review focuses on the latter.

The 5600 series has the technology of its bigger brothers, such as ATI and ATI Eyefinity Stream. In the words of AMD on its new "ATI Stream" technology are:

the technology of ATI common to a number of computer software and advanced AMD graphics processors (GPU), in coordination with the system of central processing units (CPU) to speed up applications compatible with alltraditional graphics and video processing. This provides a balanced platform for computationally intensive tasks more efficiently, better user experience for the end user. The 5600 series also includes support for Microsoft DirectX 11 API. I think many people know that buying a graphics card in the midrange segment is not just what is the problem, but anyone interested in the GPU industry knows that if you want to see the latest in the game, who wants to be inDirectX train.

ENGINEERING

The study shows that today, one generic AMD ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB GDDR5. AMD is an entity that sent the pre-selected versions of publications from other vendors for shopping. I am a bit 'late with my post, but hey, what's the rush anyway?

Here are the specs of the HD 5670 512MB GDDR5:

AMD ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB GDDR5 Redwood GPU (Radeon HD 5670)Transistors 627 Fri GPU fill rate of 775 MHz, 400 Stream Processors 620GFLOPS computing performance by 20 texture units, Texture Fill Rate of 25.2 GTexel / s POR 16 pixels to 6.2 of this technological advantage / s Z / Stencil type 24.8 GS / s of memory GDDR5 memory at 1000 MHz Number of memory bandwidth of 515MB of memory of 64 GB / s Bus Width 128 bits of normal consumption (61W) / IDLE (14W)

In detail:

I do not want to spend much time on foot in what appears to be paper, as most suppliers of assemblytheir cooling solutions. Short but the paper is a cooler time to wait for a large central region of the map.

The card has a 40nm technology, which is great, because they increase their energy efficiency and heat production in terms of performance.

A good thing that this card is very small and thin enough to fit in small business projects tailored to the average PC and HTPC. The length of the Radeon HD 5670170mm.

The card has no PCI-Express power, positive thinking and should be considered. This means that the card does not draw more power than you could avoid the PCI Express bus.

The generic 5670 card has three ports, one, DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI. E 'is compatible with ATI Radeon HD technology, which monitors can be used simultaneously on each connector. The HDMI connection supports HDMI 1.3as full support for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-agentMaster Audio.

SYSTEM TEST test my system enough for this exam, here are the details:

During my tests, I have the graphics in the game settings, the highest quality. I have the filter settings to "medium" for the fact that this cardfor those with the filter parameters "must" at most.

For those of you who are not too familiar position, since the performance of a graphics card, here is a table with the frame rate numbers and their meaning in real life gaming experience:

FPS (frames per second) frames per second to less than 30 is not a good gaming experience from 30 to 40 fps player, but a good experience is not good FPS game 40-60 over 60 FPS gaming experience excellent

I have provided evidencereference to the first software, because there is often a flash of full implementation of the paper. In this case, the results tell me that the performance of this card is a bit 'beyond what I expected from a mid-range card of the new generation of AMD.

In comparison, a 240 GT Nvidia GDDR5 I tried the same system has received 7000 points in 3DMark 2006 and paper in my post GT220 (a tab at the bottom of the segment) finally reached 6,700 points. L 'Radeon 5670 card was at 11,700 points, surpassing by far the NVIDIA cards.

When I was with all the DirectX 11 compatible cards that I reviewed showed reduced performance with DirectX 11 DirectX 10 breaks. It 's weird, because the "higher power" is one of the biggest selling points with the new API from Microsoft.

The Radeon HD 5670 really is proving to be even stronger in the first wave of games I had planned on the basis of the resultsobtained in calibration tests. I was really surprised that this mid-range card at a price below $ 100, these games can be moved to the liquid waste.

Games such as The Last Remnant, Street Fighter IV and Devil May Cry 4 was actually very well defined, at whatever level of adaptation of the graphic quality, resolution, or the filter I. Even Resident Evil 5 was OK

A strange thing the results to the case of the Games STALKER: Clear Sky STALKER: CallPripyat. The first and the second uses DX10 DirectX11. STALKER Clear Sky (DX10) gaming experience offers a very limited STALKER: Call of Pripyat (DX11) was much better. I mean these games are part of the same series. Ask questions such as: DirectX 11 DirectX 10 is more effective than ever? Or are these two games have 3D engines? I'm sorry I can not answer these questions for you to get their attention.

However, it isclearly two games in this match, the card can not handle this, Far Cry 2 and Crysis Warhead. The performance of the Radeon HD 5670 in Far Cry 2 with a resolution of 1680 x 1050 (no filter) to 41.04 FPS is not enough and away from the results that I have with the Sapphire HD 5750 (61.57 FPS) has achieved.

However, the Radeon HD 5670 offers exceptional performance in demanding games. If you do not always run games at higher resolutions with filters in vivoactivated, it will not be disappointed.

HD VIDEO

To analyze the performance of the Radeon HD 5670 to play high-definition video, which measures the average CPU load (%) over 5 minutes while playing HD content. I have the measures in two resolutions: 720p (H.261) and 1080.

The results are really excellent, thanks to steam technology by ATI. He is tall, so strong a card with so small. This makes it ideal for a HTPC.

OverclockingCOOLING AND NUTRITION

Overclocking is always exciting (at least for me), but I was not happy with this card and I had to work with the ATI Catalyst applied. However, I have come to a 9% increase in decent GPU (775 MHz) and an increase of 9.5% in the rate of the original memory. It was the best I could put the numbers to the ATI Catalyst application can free up space for other equipment manufacturers more overclocking.

The cooling system of this mapdoing his job. We must remember that only a general overview of the map, so all the cooling solutions are available Luxury Design. The temperatures indicated in the table below full load is high, but in reality are what they usually do with a new benchmark AMD ATI card. See what we can get the equipment suppliers in terms of different cooling solutions for the 5670 chip and what to do with temperatures.

The fan is automatically controlled andThe speed is about 28% if the card is in standby mode. Less than 40% of the fan is not obvious, but more than 50% is perfectly audible, and not boring like the fans in the high-end cards.

Using a 40nm manufacturing technology again this card is more effective than the latest generation graphics cards. In the real world, this means an improvement in performance with low power consumption thereof. Or the power to reverse the declining consumptionsame level of performance. According to AMD, ATI, should be the consumption of 14W idle state, while the consumption of 61W during normal operation.

I measured the total energy drain from my system in standby mode and overclocking, the chart below. I can not say if the number of AMD ATI is correct or not.

RESULTS THROUGH TIME

The results show a slight increase in performance. For example, the gain of Crysis Warhead was approximately 1.5 fps andFar Cry 2 has increased by about 3 frames per second. In fact, do not mean much.

CONCLUSION

OK, this map is clearly not a card game of high-end, but the big question is whether it is strong enough to be useful for us players? I say yes! If you can accept the first-person shooter without a filter, you will be satisfied with this card. Hard-core gamers, but must go for the highest price.

The good thing about this card is that AMD has managed to escape allnew technologies, we have seen in the 5800 series, like steam from ATI, DirectX 11 and ATI Eyefinity. This circumstance makes the fact that this card is very small, ideal combination for those who need a graphics card for HTPC project.

Viva Piñata - Trouble in Paradise

As usual, I spent my hard-earned wages in video games that came out this Friday, Infinite Undiscovery, games, and the long wait (at least by me) as a result of Viva Pinata - Trouble in Paradise.

Well, as I said I played Infinite Undiscover, I was really in Viva Pinata morning, and never on the recent publication of the letter from Square-Enix.

As always, I try to give an honest opinion of the partyis that this game is fantastic as its predecessor. All original piñatas are more for us as director of operations and admire, and now there are many other piñatas for the love and care. My favorite of the new generation is the piñata Jeli. This is a huge Yeti, which is located in the snow game.

This brings me to another topic. There are two areas that can piñata in the garden, and serves Pentarctic capture the desert. Here you canThere are several quarries of new (and old) to locate the piñata traps and bait. How Pokeball Pokemon, these traps are not always successful, but it is a strange lot 'of the game.

There are also more willing pimps and Sour piñatas, the rest of his garden. In fact, there are many new things in the game that comes out of the game with all new things, and I would be satisfied. There are plants, products, piñatas, pimps and piñatas acidthe game keeps his game for hours!

But like every game is a way of error. For example, is absurdly difficult, the new Chocolodocus rare ... that in fact the only reason I know what it is, because it was sad to walk to buy the guide for the game ... but this is not the problem.

Also, I'm not sure if this is a bug with my game, or is a common mistake is with them, but for 30 hours that I play(Together ... not a single session), time has done nothing but rain, that is the time in the game ... Although the time spent in the UK like ... Year. Look, this is not so much a question of how water should not contain all the plants, but my Piñata always depressed by the weather ... and tugs your heart strings nothing like seeing a Redhot cry tears falling from his eyes.

I know I'm sad, but I love this game seems a breezeI assure you that this game says that people of all ages. All my friends (22-30) to play this game and love, if you are looking for something new, do not allow the play of girly appearance are presented, is a brilliant game and fun for the many hours of hard!

Resident Evil 5 comments

Resident Evil 5 Resident Evil 4 suites, which is the fifth game of the series. He is currently under development, but people began to talk. What I heard of him? Not much on Resident Evil 5 from Capcom is revealed by its developer. Few details were released about the game concept is similar to assume that Black Hawk Down. The gameplay as a producer, Jun Takeuchi, will be announced similarResident Evil 4. While the rest are Evil 5, Resident.

The game is expected by most of the year and will be published in 2008. Resident Evil 5 was announced in 2005, but its release date is 2009 in the face. The developers have also found that the darkness Games Resident reduce the concept. Players can zombies to bright light instead of darkness. This will be acompletely new concept of the series, Resident Evil 5, which will be presented. Besides zombies, two enemies will be introduced in the game zombies and other animals in that they have more intelligence and weapons of their predecessors.

The plot of Resident Evil 5 is a series of Africa becoming the first person in Africa has been created within the game but, when the country is Africa, where the virus has been identifiedarose. Resident Evil 5 is also improved lighting and graphic effects. Players may leave at different times of day and under different climatic conditions. Player ability to be light and darkness in the workforce based on actual human capacity in such conditions. Resident Evil 5 on certain players continue to adjust according to how people will do.

Resident Evil 5 Gameplay and control rely heavilyBiohazard Capcom has announced in the fourth quarter to give the latest game during the E3 conference, held in July 2008. He was Resident Evil 5 questions. The controversy has been a part of it, before it is released. Resident Evil 5 was the controversy of racial discrimination. Criticizing the question of how the white man presented as a hero, while the black African zombies in the city. They believe that this is not so black zombie show but blacks in Africa, like zombies, which seems to be really shown.

I think the previous Resident Evil 5 Resident Evil by Capcom will be a great success for him. Prudence game show. Resident Evil 5, after it was released, hailed by many critics and criticism, despite some controversy, the past is forgotten. I also believe that issues of racial discrimination is shown resident> Evil 5 is that the world knows what happened in Africa and how people are treated. difficult to know what AIDS or HIV, are everything we could, and developers of Resident Evil 5, showing the effort. So I give all the credit, Resident Evil 5 for the efforts to increase indirect personal standards of people in Africa or directly. I hope Resident Evil 5 proves to be supertaken.
