SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5570 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 Low Profile Ready Graphics Card 100293L

Pros: Can do Shader Model 5.0 and DirectX 11. Can be slightly overclocked, and works great. Is it worth the money? I think so, if you can get a better card for maybe $5 or $10 more, go for it though, however, if you cannot stretch your budget, you won't be disappointed with this card.

Cons: It didn't want to do Hybrid Crossfire with my IGP, the 4250. Probably either AMD dropped support for that thing with the latest Catalyst package, or I'm doing something wrong. I heard H Crossfire didn't do much anyway, so no real loss here.

Overall Review: StarCraft II plays between 20FPS (on a 3vAI), 30FPS (single player VS AI), to 40FPS on the highest settings. APB: Reloaded plays between 30FPS (40 average) to 60 FPS on highest settings. Crysis 2 plays around 15-30FPS on highest. All tests done with 1024x768 resolution, and no Vsync or AA.

Pros: Great card on a budget. 4 star card - 1 star company.

Cons: Was warned by reviews and went ahead anyways. Sent in everything, received my other rebates, Sapphire comes back and wont honor their rebate. My mistake - I should have listened to other reviews - dishonest practice.

Overall Review: None
