Sapphire HD 6570 512MB GDDR5 HM Pro Reviews

HEXUS‘s review Edit

Sapphire's £55 model packs in just 512MB of GDDR5 memory but backs it up with an extended frame-buffer, made available via system RAM, through AMD's Hyper Memory technology. The upshot of such an approach means that, more than the average FPS, games feel nice and smooth at medium-quality settings; there are no obvious performance drop-offs as complex scenes are drawn. Sweetening the deal, the card is practically silent at idle and under load, while power-draw is the best in its class. There's a lot to like in this tidy package that should be viewed as a first-step upgrade if you're running either integrated graphics or a much older (PCIe) card in your system. Recommended.

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

Unfortunately, unless you've got a rather capacious media centre chassis, and a very limited graphics budget to go with it, there's little reason to recommend this cheapo GPU.

phoronix‘s review Edit

How much does Sapphire's new AMD Radeon HD 6570 graphics card cost? Only $79 USD. The new Radeon HD 6670 is set at a $100 price point while the Radeon HD 6790 is up at $150 USD. From our initial tests, the Sapphire Radeon HD 6570 performance is not too bad, especially for being a sub-$80 graphics card. While the range of Linux native games isn't too great and for the Linux-compatible engines they aren't too demanding (except for Unigine and the not-yet-publicly-released-for-Linux Source Engine) at this point compared to some of the Windows-only engines, the Radeon HD 6570 should be capable of handling these workloads when paired with the Catalyst binary driver.
