The Sapphire HD5670 Flex Edition ships in a brightly coloured box, with yet another hot futuristic lady on the front. She is locked and loaded and even had time to put on some makeup. What a gal.
No free games with this bundle, but you do get a software disc, literature on the product, a VGA converter cable, Sapphire Select Club details, and the passive HDMI converter cable.
The HD5670 Flex Edition ships with a customised Arctic Cooling heatsink and fan. It is a modest design, but these cards run cool anyway and as you might remember Sapphire released a passively cooled ‘Ultimate Edition‘ HD5670 last year.
The card offers twin DVI ports, HDMI and Displayport out. All four can connect to a panel and deliver a SLS (Single Large Surface) work area. Obviously if you want four screens and not three, then one of the monitors has to be DisplayPort capable. The card requires no external power feed, it gets enough power from the PCI-E slot.
Removing the Arctic Cooling cooler is a straightforward process. The card is using Hynix H5GQ2H24MFA chips which are rated for 1.6V. These are high quality memory chips which we have seen used on higher end AMD video cards in the past.
The card is running at reference speeds of 775mhz core and 1000mhz via the GDDR5 memory connected to a 128bit memory interface.
