ATI Radeon HD 5500 Series GDDR5 Review
A few weeks back, AMD quietly released a couple of new graphics cards in the Radeon HD 5500 series. For a while there, starting with the Radeon HD 5870 in late September of last year, it seemed like AMD was releasing a new series of graphics cards aimed at different price points, practically every few weeks. Things slowed down a bit once the company had a complete top-to-bottom line-up of DX11 and Eyefinity capable cards from prices ranging from about $49 to $600, but obviously AMD wasn’t quite done beefing up the Radeon HD 5000 series.
The recently released Radeon HD 5500 series cards differed from their predecessors in only one meaningful way—they were equipped with GDDR5 memory. The original 5500 series cards sported GDDR3 or GDDR2 memory. The move to GDDR5 allowed AMD to crank the memory clock speed up a bit, which would have a positive impact on overall performance.
We’ve got both the Radeon HD 5550 and Radeon HD 5570 GDDR5 edition graphics cards in house and have taken them for a spin around the lab with an assortment of popular games and benchmarks. Take a look at the pages ahead to see just what a sub-$90 graphics card can get you these days…

The Radeon HD 5500 Series GDDR5 editions have the exact same feature set as their GDDR3/2 counterparts. The GPU configurations on GDDR5 cards are identical to those of the original GDDR3/2 cards. Also note, the Radeon HD 5550 and Radeon HD 5570 sport the same GPU, hence the similar features. The only differences between the two cards are that the higher-end Radeon HD 5570 has more stream processing units and texture units. Whereas the Radeon HD 5570 has 400 stream processors and 20 texture units, the Radeon HD 5550 has 320 and 16.

Reviews of the Radeon HD 5550
in general, the 5670 was at the level of 9800gt, while the 5570 could not even catch up with ddr6! Damn, I seem to have both 9800 and 5670 (still a bunch of junk), I didn’t sell cards, so I accumulated)))
Of course.
