Gigabyte Radeon HD 5750 1GB Cool Graphics Review
Written by Mavke   
Friday, 11 December 2009

The Radeon HD 5000 series across the board does a good job of making games playable at certain resolutions. If you are a resolution fanatic then the HD Radeon 5870 or even the Radeon HD 5970 version is going to be the best card for these ultra widescreen users. Are you mainly a widescreen user? Well, the Radeon HD 5850 is a great option and if you are not a huge gamer but you like to dabble a bit at the resolution, this Radeon HD 5770 does a pretty good job of holding its own. The Radeon HD 5770 is a great choice if you have got the money. So if you don't want to blow the bank though, the Radeon HD 5750 does a good job at the resolution and also comes with a pretty nice looking fan option. - TweakTown

ImageGigabyte Radeon HD 5750 1GB Cool Graphics Review

We've had a look at a few Radeon HD 5750 cards from companies and we're not sure if there's no reference cooler or that no one simply wants to use it. Having a look at the board straight on, you can see we've got a new fan design which we haven't seen before. This seems to becoming bit of a trend with Gigabye though. We saw them opt for quite an large fan on their GeForce GT 240 and these one seems no different. Such bigger fans tend to be quieter while also offering better cooling capabilities. Hopefully this one's no different. As for stickers, there's not a lot of room, we've simply got a Gigabyte one that sits in the middle of the fan.

While it's always nice to see companies overclock the core and memory, it's still something a lot of companies just don't do with these mid-range cards at launch. Hopefully we will begin to see companies overclock this card a little in future, because the Radeon HD 5750 really manages to show some potential. Having a look at the gaming performance, the Radeon HD 5750 from Gigabyte doesn't hold any surprises with it coming in just as we would expect. The stand out point for this board is the cooling, Gigabyte are on a bit of a roll when it comes to using their own cooling which is bringing a more silent and cooler performance.

We saw them do an excellent job on the GeForce GT 240 which offered a great performance to noise ratio and we see the same thing again. If you're looking for something that's quiet and is going to run just cooler than some of the original designs from companies, this is an excellent choice. Performance, while still the same as any standard Radeon HD 5750 is still great. Since most of the cards we test are of the higher end variety, our in game presets tend to revolve around very high to maximum in game settings. This is an nice Radeon HD 5750 that's quiet and is cooled well thanks to the cooling option Gigabyte has opted for.

It would've been nice to see a core and memory bump since we know the board has a few more MHz in it, but this is something you can easily do yourself under the Catalyst driver software. If you're on the hunt for a Radeon HD 5750 this is one worth looking at. While it might carry the stock clocks, ATI's own built in Overdrive feature can give you a bit more MHz which is going to give the model a bit more breathing room. There's not a whole lot more you could ask for out of the mid-range model that comes in at $145 over at Newegg.
