Test: HiS IceQ HD 5750

Konklusion

HiS IceQ HD 5750 er det første 5750 kort, vi har haft forbi redaktionen, og det skuffer da heller ikke, men samtidig overrasker det heller ikke. His IceQ HD 5750 er præcis lige så hurtigt, som jeg forventede i nogle tests, er kortet på højde med GTX-260, og generelt ligger det lige efter HD 5770. Desværre er der en enkelt fejl på dette kort, der lige skal nævnes. Jeg forstår ikke, hvorfor de har valgt og skippe det sidste DVI stik, dette må da være en tanketorsk af de større hos HiS, nu når de heller ikke vedlægger en HDMI til DVI konverter. Men kortet her er absolut egnet til opgradering af ældre systemer, da det kun skal bruge 1 strømstik, samt kun bruger 87 Watt under fuld load.

Innovation/Teknologi - 5
Her er vi stadigvæk helt i top med GDDR-5 RAM på 1150Mhz, 40nm Produktionsteknologi samt DirectX 11 understøttelse, så bliver det vist ikke meget bedre. Der er stadigvæk langt imellem spil der understøtter den nye API, men der er allerede en god håndfuld spilproducenter, som har udtalt, at de vil lave deres næste spil i DirectX 11.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 4
Det er ikke verdens største bundle, HiS vedlægger til dette kort, og jeg mener personligt, at det skriger efter en HDMI til DVI converter. Der medfølger en driver, det lille bumptop program samt Dirt 2. Så et 4-tal bliver det til trods den manglende Converter.

Design/Layout - 3
Designet er ikke det kønneste jeg har set, faktisk syntes jeg, at reference køleren er pænere. Men køleren er absolut effektiv, og ganske stille, også når kortet belastes. Jeg mener dog stadigvæk, at de skal flytte strømstikket.

Software/BIOS - 4
Driverne er, som vi er vant til helt stabile, og fungerer virkelig godt. Men BumpTop er ingen genistreg og for min skyld, kunne de godt undlade og sende det med.

Ydelse - 3
Ydelsen er god, og ligger nogenlunde på højde med GTX-260, kortet yder generelt som forventet og ligger lige efter HD 5770. Der er ikke meget overclock potetiale gemt i kortet ved brug af AMD/ATI’s Overdrive. I alt får kortet et lille 3-tal.

Pris - 2
HiS IceQ HD 5750 koster 1157,- kr. Hvilket er det samme som et GTX-260, dog kan man for 50,- kr mindre købe Sapphires Vapor-X version af HD 5750, som har det ekstra DVI stik, og for små 100,- kr mere kan man erhverve sig et Vapor-X versionen af 5770. Derfor syntes jeg, at dette kort er en smule for dyrt, derfor får det kun 2.

UK summary

HiS IceQ HD 5750 is the first 5750 card we have tested and it doesn’t disappoint, however neither does it surprise. HiS IceQ HD 5750 is exactly as fast as I expected in some tests the card is as fast as a GTX-260 and in general it’s just after HD 5770. Unfortunately there is one thing I need to mention, I really don’t understand why they decided to skip the last DVI plug, and then also decided to not include a HDMI to DVI converter. However this card is absolutely suited to upgrade a older system as it only uses 87 Watts under load. 

Innovation/Technology - 5
This is still the newest technology with GDDR-5 RAM at 1150Mhz, 40nm Production Technology and DirectX 11 support. There are still few and far between games that supports the new API, but there is already a good handful of games producers have stated that they will make their next game in DirectX 11.

Bundle/Accessories - 4
It’s not the worlds largest bundle HiS provides, and personally I think that it’s crying for a HDMI to DVI converter. A driver Cd, the BumpTop program and Dirt 2 is also included.

Design/Layout - 3
The design is not the prettiest I've seen, actually I think that the reference cooler is nicer. But the cooler is absolutely effective and very quiet, even when the card is working. However I still think that the power connector is in the wrong place.

Software/BIOS - 4
The drivers are, as we have grown accustomed to quite stable and works very well. But BumpTop is not very good, and if you ask me they might as well not include it at all. 

Performance - 3
The performance is good, and is roughly similar to the GTX-260, the card performs as I expected and is just a bit slower than HD 5770. There is not a lot of overclock potential hidden in the card using AMD/ATIs overdrive. In total the card gets 3. 

Price - 2
HiS IceQ HD 5750 costs 1157,- DKK. That is the same as a GTX-260, though for 50,- DKK less you could by Sapphires Vapor-X version of HD 5750 which has the additional DVI connector and for 100,- DKK extra you can even get the Vapor-X version of HD 5770. Therefore I think that the card is a little too expensive.
