To this end the Sapphire HD 5670 is being unleashed to the world as a capable card to fill the mainstream price point right around $100. It is the 5th 5 series card released from ATI and its partners and is the only DX 11 card in this price bracket. As a card that is designed to go into mainstream boxes to use its compute capabilities to improve the overall experience by allowing many of the computing tasks to be offloaded to the GPU rather than having the CPU do the work allows the home user who does not have a high end gaming rig do the things they do most quicker such as encoding movies, editing photos watching high definition content either on the web or on the big screen in the home. As a mainstream card the gaming performance may not wow the true gamer but lets see what the Sapphire HD 5670 1GB video card has to offer.
