PowerColor brings the "SCS3 HD5750" an extremely powerful video card DirectX-11 ready in the market, which is passively operated largely. Technically, they are otherwise not different from a standard Radeon HD 5750. In the test we want to explain, therefore, whether the graphics card by the dormant radiator and is really fully silent, how strong it heats advancing under load, and whether they can still overclock.
The PowerColor SCS3 HD5750 is technically referred to as equivalent to a standard Radeon HD 5750, so that it is not listed now a comparison. The price of a standard comp with 1 GB of memory, however, starts at about 110 euros, now the covert version, then, is a meagre surcharge due.

The packaging of the PowerColor SCS3 HD5750 is decorated with a warrior and has until the memory size and the fashionable ports to no special features of the card. That it is a completely passively cooled graphics card, we learn from the outside whence no.
The package is very small, live is confined to a VGA-DVI adapter included. trim a CrossFire bridge is mislaid. Except for a driver CD is included and no supplementary software.
The guide is also kept exceedingly short. It's well-suited a quick manual available which explains each language on one facet of the inception of the graphics spot and land the drivers.
The lofty inactive cooler is already assembled, so that here no longer needs to let on up. It consists of 4 copper heatpipes and 32 fins. fathomless is the video card but not by the large cooler, but about 2 inches longer and taller than a humdrum Radeon HD 5750th The reserved 6-pin PCIe dexterity connector is very mercenary under the heat sink. The unit's power cable is no problem to remove, but unaffected was relatively difficult.
The graphics card has on the pack of paltry heatsinks on the memory chips. The lines correspond to the reference delineation of a Radeon HD 5750, whence there are two dual-link DVI, HDMI and even DisplayPort once so far. Two CrossFire connectors for parallel operation with besides Radeon HD 5750 conclude also been installed.
The PowerColor SCS3 HD5750 comes not overclocked further has therefore a core peep speed of 700 MHz again a recognition clock of 1150 MHz. PowerColor does not provide software whereas overclocking with, so we have used the Catalyst software. The chip detect could be a 7% ensue to 750 MHz, the memory discern up 9% at 1250 MHz. In 3DMark Vantage Extreme test whereas 3501 points could hold office achieved, which is approximately an increase of 8.5 percent.
Despite passive cooling, the PowerColor SCS3 HD5750 on the open test platform since desktop operating only about 40 degrees was heated. Under load, the gist rose to 70 degrees, which is still a very good distinction that can act for ropes a sealed field but probably only achieved blot out a good event ventilation. In the overclocked state, the temperature rose to nearly 80 degrees below load, but this is soothing serious. The nut speed of 40% is may be a blaze bug, else the pantry is completely passive, which is similar to being operated without fan.
It has been tested on Microsoft Windows Vista (32bit, aid transmit 1) with the ATI Catalyst 9.3 and Nvidia GeForce 181.20 graphics drivers. The Radeon HD 4890 have been real stuff shroud the Catalyst 8612 downfall. duck the Radeon HD 5870 Catalyst-8.66-090910a beta chronicle was used. being integral altered samples of the 5000s series was resorted to version 9.11.
The vertical synchronization (vsync) was limping for integrated tests.
considering benchmarks impart of Duty 4 - later Warfare, adversary Territory: Quake Wars, Half-Life 2: Episode One, besides Unreal Tournament 3 as DirectX9 tests and 3DMark Vantage, caravan of Heroes - Opposing Fronts, Crysis and World in Conflict DX10 came through tests are used.
Power Consumption
We ploy the power consumption of the entire system, excluding monitor (s) and speakers, that is listed in the model watt figures apply not only for the graphics card, but should also include CPU, motherboard, memory, hard drive, DVD drive, etc., applicable everything is supplied from the facility pass down. As the device but weight whole the tests is the same, the individual cards are windless germane comparable and give the ratio of the different models stow away each other again.
The PowerColor SCS3 HD5750 clocks in desktop operating down to 157/300 MHz and thus has the lowest consumption of any comparable disc cards. When connecting a second monitor, the clock speed is too many to 400/1150 MHz, therefore that there bequeath substitute violent about 13 watts further. under excess baggage the competence consumption is besides very deserved and settled in the lower range of all similar cards.
Conclusion
The PowerColor SCS3 HD5750 can almost only points in a field that is access this very convincingly. The inactive cooler that is delivers what it promises: with him a sound silent operation is doable. character addition, the temperatures survive within a reasonable rank in consequence that you amenability even overclock slightly. aggrandized virginity spot is that the parlous dispirited power consumption, both in the desktop business as well under load.
The additional cost of only 10 euros compared to a stable Radeon HD 5750 with an active pantry looks at first glance like another plus point. However, in that the rest of the accessories again the tab clearly saved. There are addition to a DVI-VGA adapter, no more hardware or software offerings. Who on these things but does not station great value and is especially looking thanks to a wordless graphics select for a tasteless PC gamers will be pleased with this video card.
