This review is from: HIS H567Q512 Radeon HD 5670 (Redwood) IceQ 512MB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Pros:
Very quiet compared to previous high pitched whine from a 3650 card. DTS HD Master bitstreaming to AVR works.
Cons:
Idle GPU is running at 600/900 MHz. Seems high.
Overall Review:
Driver related problems, probably common for all 5670 cards:
Had to Google to find temporary drivers as Catalyst 10.1 did not work.
Dolby TrueHD bitstreaming is currently broken.
ATI PowerPlay (GPU freq changes for power save) causes glitches and pops in audio over HDMI unless disabled with a rather complicated hack.
(Long) list of known problems with HDMI audio on 5xxx cards.
