XFX HD5750 XXX & eVGA GTS450 & Powercolor HD5750 LP Review

The eVGA GTS450 arrives with classic box art … simple yet effective. No mutant frogs or semi naked chicks with weird faces, just the name of the product presented with nice font selection. If only everything in life was this simple.

The bundle contains manuals, literature and a power converter cable as well as an DVI-VGA adapter. It isn't the most exhaustive bundle we have seen, but considering the price point it is hard to complain.

The card is a typical eVGA design, again simple yet effective looking. eVGA get a good name as one of the leading nVidia partners thanks to their excellent warranty program. 2 years limited warranty which you can extend to 10 years limited warranty if you register the card. Most of you will already realise this is following the reference design, not a bad thing as the hot air gets pushed out the back of the case.

The card has two dual link DVI ports and a mini HDMI connector. The card takes a single 6 pin power connector and is equipped with a single SLI connector. No three way SLI orgies for the GTS450 (or GTX460), sadly.

The GTS450 cooler is easily removed and underneath we can get a better look at the cooler. It is a simple circular fin design crafted from aluminium and should deal with the moderate heat of the GTS450 core easily enough.

The GTS450 is a clean design with plenty of room around the core for cooling. eVGA cards are always high quality built products and this is no exception. eVGA also offer a 90 day step up program.
