Introduction
Whenever a GPU manufacturer releases a new architecture, as AMD has
done with the
Radeon
HD 5770
this week, the first bunch of cards all
tends to be the same.
Often a case of placing a particular partner's sticker on the fan,
differentiation is made with respect to price, bundle and availability.
As you would expect, ASUS has released a
Radeon
HD 5770 1,024MB GPU that looks
just the same as any other. The appearance belies the fact that, unlike
others, it
ships with some nifty
performance-enhancing technology.
Known as the EAH5770/2DIS/1GD5, the card boasts Voltage Tweak
technology, enabling the end-user to increase GPU voltage to stabilise
higher clock-speeds.
We take one for a mini-test and evaluate if it's manifestly better than
a regular HD 5770.
