XFX ATI Radeon HD5670 1GB Passive Heatpipe CFx Review

XFX have some of the finest artwork in the industry, often focusing on robotic/futuristic designs.

The bundle is rather spartan, but considering the price point this is expected. You get a ‘do not disturb, im gaming' door sign and literature on the product. Always best getting the newest drivers from AMD's website.

The card is based on a design which looks very similar to the Sapphire HD5670 Ultimate Edition. A super oversized heatpipe based cooler which wraps around the PCB for maximum heat dissipation.

The cooler is a chunky design which consists of two heatsinks on either end of a fat dual heatpipe configuration.

As we pointed out in previous XFX reviews, they have started placing ‘anti tamper' stickers on the cooler mounting screws. This is a common procedure with power supplies, but clearly they are trying to stop user interference via warranty claims.

We will be looking at both single GPU and Crossfire X performance today.
