10. Conclusion

Nvidia is working around the clock to launch Fermi, but AMD keeps gaining ground with its Evergreen series of DirectX 11 graphics cards. Unfortunately for AMD and ATI, although Nvidia doesn’t have DirectX 11 hardware, the current availability of Radeons isn’t quite bringing in truckloads of cash to the red team. Being certain that the availability is slowly improving, AMD decided to launch another DirectX 11 card dubbed Radeon HD 5670 and this time the company is aiming for lower-end mainstream segments of the market. Sapphire HD 5670 sample we’ve received runs at 775MHz GPU and 1000MHz (4000MHz effectively) for GDDR5 memory.

I think it's a good card, but I'm prefer Nvidia than my system is IP and Intel pentium is perfect with Nvidia and AMD works perfectly with ATI,
thats my opinion...

Not realy - the combination of CPU and GPU is free and there are no compatibility issues:
AMD would't optimize their graphic drivers for AMD CPUs because many test systems use intel CPUs.
Neither would NVidia do beacuse they don't like intel more than amd.

But the Question is - why this card is released with 1GB RAM?
For a card in this performance class 512MB are enough.
Only HD5770 and up should be released with 1GB RAM. - the HD5870 maybe with 2 and the HD5970 with 2x2GB.

They although should wait until march or april when HD5400 and HD5300 series will be released.

with this price it's better to use an "old" DX 10 card because they are faster - but this is a card for resellers: "New DirectX 11 performance 1GB RAM."
Where it doesn't matter that there are many cheaper graphic cards that have a higher performance.

Yes I think it .too about the ram, which game prefers 1 gb ram? and what is with the resource of the CPU?

And what is the solution of future ? 2 / 4 / 6 Ram of GPU...
