PowerColor HD 5750 Go! Green

[MadMan007]

I like your writeup on the 'green marketing movement' it's nice not to see someone fully riding the manufacturers hypetrain. This is why the saying 'reduce, reuse, recycle' exists - reducing (new) consumption is often the most 'green' route.

congrats on moving over to w7 instead of vista 32 ;-) and good review

What is up with the heatsink? It looks like the last heatpipe is positioned too high and comes out the top of the fins, so they just messilly slapped some silver gunk on it to make it kind of blend...:shadedshu

The silver stuff is solder. High end CPU heatsinks such as the Megahalems and TRUE have soldered fins as well.

good question .. i'd start worrying at around 100W



girls still like it

Depends heavily on the board.

The DFI 790GX-M2RS I have is designed at 150w Max output on the PCIe Power Bus.

The BIOS gives an option to limit the passthrough though, it maxes out at 200W.

Oh I see it now. Letz me look around.

Uhh.. I would lean more towards the card being defective. HOWEVER, If its not a fresh install of Windows 7, a possible reinstall of the drivers may solve your issue.

is my Power Supply : Rasurbo DLP-535 530 Watt good enough for this card? a friend tell me i have to change it !

windows isnt a fresh install.

i have deinstall and install the driver 10x without any success :-(

thank you.

The silver stuff is solder. High end CPU heatsinks such as the Megahalems and TRUE have soldered fins as well.

It could be solder, and I know that is done, but if it is solder then they've totally missed actually soldering the fins to the heatpipe, because that solder doesn't touch the fins...

I had the same problem with my own card at first time. It didnt start, so the screen remained blank. After 4-6 times of removing and putting the card again it finally started as normal. Well i hope this helps!

How can a "No support for CUDA / PhysX" be a con if we consider that these two technologies are proprietary and only work on NVIDIA. It's like saying it's a con for a petrol powered car not to support diesel fuel.

 

[GSquadron]

I think you need to install the latest drivers. Remove the cooler and start again as much as the problem is finished. Whatch if you have a pci-e 2.0 compliant board. Enter in safe mode and download the latest drivers, cuz both nvidia and ati have had problems with previous drivers (nvidia about the fan).

will this card work with 300w psu?

considering that it have a very low energy consumption comparing to the older series
thank you

What kind of PSU is it? What is in the rest of your system?

If you're running a low powered dual core CPU, you could probably get away with 300W. But the 300W PSU should of high quality. I wouldn't chance it if your PSU is made by some generic company and came in a Dell or HP computer.

using the Antec Calculator - according to my system i got load of nearly 200w
the psu is from ezcool...

Its noiseless and efficient, for many thats just what they were looking for, if you gonna play a lot on a big screen you better add some more $$ and buy something else and it doesn't need to be pretty if you slap it on a closed case without any window, thats probably 90% of the ppl that is gonna buy this...

Low profile too !

 

[boise49ers]

I bought one

Mine runs MW2 great and this is on a P4. It won't handle BFBC2 , but like I said it is on a P4.
I have some issues I'm trying to work out when it is displayed on my 52" LCD. I bought it for Blu-ray and Internet video streaming. Any one that is familiar with this card and any issue with it Please PM me. Thank you

 

[chong67]

I just got this card for $104 off ebay bid. Its brand new. Seller has 0 feedback even though he is selling other video card.

I do not play games.

We shall see.

Performer

I have had it in my quad for a week now waiting on a new PS for my 4870. I have overclocked and getting 30.4 GBs bandwidth and it still runs at 42 C. It plays BFBC2 perfect Med/High settings. This little card is awesome.

Is there any problem with your install of the driver?

 

[boise49ers]

No, but I never use the disk that comes with the cards. I think I downloaded the 10.4 driver though. Let me check real quick. Yep running the 10.4 !

http://support.amd.com/us/psearch/Pages/psearch.aspx?type=2.4.1

You'll have to go into their archives for the 10.4, but the site is easy to navigate. Good Luck !
Take a few minutes if you are going to use the forum again and put in your system specs. It really
helps the people who respond to your question. Helps narrow problems down.

I dont have my video card yet. I do have a GT 240 on it now.

I use this software to remove my video drivers: http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/

I just realized this is for the 5770. I have the 5570. It is a great card though.

 

[chong67]

What? This is a 5750 thread about the Green PowerColor without the 6 pin power.

 

[Polli]

hi

how can i change this cards voltages?

 

[chong67]

I think tweaking is in the CCC panel.
