XFX Radeon HD 5670 512MB DirectX 11 Eyefinity Video Card Unboxing & First Look

The video presents an unboxing and first look at the XFX Radeon HD 5670 512MB graphics card, positioned as a budget option within the DirectX 11 era. The host explains how this model differs from the higher end 5750 by noting fewer stream processors and texture units, a slightly lower memory clock, and the fact that it comes with 512MB of memory, which affects price and performance. He emphasizes that the card is designed for casual gaming rather than high-end gaming, yet it brings essential DX11 features, Eyefinity support, and 7.1 audio over HDMI, making it a compelling choice for budget builds. Inside the box, the unboxing reveals the quick install guide, a longer installation guide, a CD sleeve with drivers, and an updated warranty activation card that includes a serial number and password for registration, highlighting XFX’s emphasis on accessible support and warranty tracking. The host also comments on the packaging and notes the physical attributes of the card, such as the matte black PCB and the relatively modest heat sink, and discusses the ports available (DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort) along with the practical caveat that using all three outputs may require an active adapter, which can raise cost. Finally, the video covers the absence of a PCIe six-pin power connector, underscoring the card’s low power requirements and implying easy integration into most power-supplied systems, before wrapping up with a brief recap of what was learned about its value proposition for budget builds and casual gaming.
