Benchmark Results: Fallout 3 And Left 4 Dead
Fallout 3 is another game that really seems to take advantage of memory bandwidth that the 5570 can't provide, although the 5570 delivers smooth performance all the way up to 1920x1200 in this title.
The Radeon HD 5570 runs well in Left 4 Dead at 1920x1200 with the highest visual settings, but some of its contemporaries run even more fluidly.

for 20 more bucks i'd go for the Radeon HD 5670 its a 20% boost in performance that might come in handy andyou can always find 20$ more to spend.
Quite a disappointing card. As stated, if you had the slightest interest in gaming, $20 is a minimal increase, and if you have no interest in games and only want decent blu-ray support, the 5450 is the card for you. This card just doesn't quite cut it for either market.
If DX11 is a selling point, why aren't all games that are able like Far Cry 2 being tested in DX10?
Very interesting and in-depth article, Don
55700 seems to have very good power characteristics - much less than a 9600GT would use at idle.
The card does what it says on the tin. But it's a budget card trying to enter a crowded and ever-changing market, including ATI's own product range. Therefore we see compromise. For average use and when the price falls a bit I wouldn't mind this card, maybe as a pro HTPC solution or cheap gaming unit with say, a Phenom II 555.
I think it could have done with some more texture units, to be honest..even when overlocked it's struggling to take on the NVIDIA's 9600GT, and as mentioned, the 5670 offers much better performance for a few bucks more. With so many options at such reasonable prices it's easy to pick though, I guess, especially without taking into account the economic situation people are operating under as well as the cost of overheads.
Looks like I've finally found a replacement to my HD4550 small form factor graphics card. Right all I need to find now is somewhere that stocks them in the UK.
It's not the end of new 5000 series yet - 5830 is still waiting to be launched
It is really clear the power of this new card is, that it uses hardly any power:-) Excellent card for for people who never play games or run any 3d applications, but do not want to have the performance impact of integrated-videocars.
