Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: June 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about ATI Radeon HD 5670

  • No external power connector required (draws power directly from PCIe slot)
  • Excellent for low-profile or small form factor (SFF) PC builds
  • Very low power consumption at idle and under load
  • Supports modern features for its era, including DirectX 11 and Eyefinity
  • Effective single-slot cooling that often operates quietly
  • Ideal for Home Theatre PCs (HTPC) due to single-slot design and HDMI audio bitstreaming

What we don't like about ATI Radeon HD 5670

  • DirectX 11 performance is often too weak to be useful for modern titles
  • Poor price-to-performance ratio compared to older cards like the HD 4770
  • 1GB of VRAM provides negligible performance gains over the 512MB model
  • Struggles with high resolutions (above 1680x1050) and high detail settings
  • Runs slightly hotter than some competitors due to its small single-slot cooler
  • Eyefinity support is limited by the card's low processing power

Verdict

The ATI Radeon HD 5670 is a budget-oriented graphics card released in early 2010, built on a 40nm process with the Redwood XT core featuring 400 stream processors and a 775 MHz clock speed. It is typically equipped with 512 MB or 1 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit interface, delivering a 64 GB/s bandwidth. Main pros include its low power consumption (64W TDP) that requires no external power connectors, a compact single-slot design ideal for HTPCs, and support for DirectX 11 and ATI Eyefinity multi-display technology. However, its main cons are limited performance in demanding modern titles even at modest resolutions, and being occasionally outperformed by older, similarly priced cards like the HD 4770.
