ATi launches Radeon HD5570 $80 DX11 GPU

February 9, 2010, By Thomas Antony in Gaming

AMD ATi has announced their latest DirectX 11 capable video card, the ATi Radeon HD 5570. It is part of the budget-range 5500 series targeted specially at HTPC setups. It has been specifically designed for fitting in low-profile cases. It supports 1080p HD output through HDMI 1.3a with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

More details below.

The varied output options – HDMI, DVI and VGA, make it an ideal option for an HTPC. ATi says you can also get some gaming performance out of the HD5570 as it apparently offers a 60% boost in performance over its closest competitor. In ATi’s own lineup, the card fits in between the HD 5450 and the upcoming HD5670. It may have some trouble justifying itself, since the next in line, the HD5670 is only $10-20 more than the HD5570.
