Predator, customers are being increasingly coaxed to hand over their cash for a tasty slice of red-flavoured silicon.

With Nvidias first Fermi products still at least a month away from our test benches, ATI has the luxury of total domination of the DirectX 11 market and has an increasingly growing family of cards based around its initial Cypress GPU architecture.

This is where ATIs latest addition, the Radeon HD 5670, comes in; a low cost DX11 card that, perhaps most importantly considering its mass market audience, does not require an external power connector.

Click to enlarge Of course, dropping an external power connector and targeting a lower price point mean that there have had to be some significant cuts when it comes to the core hardware involved.

The 40nm GPU, codenamed Redwood (to the 57xx series Juniper and the 58xx series Cypress) sports a lowly 400 stream processors running at 775MHz (in comparison to the HD 5770s 800 and the HD 5870s1,600 stream processors, running at 725MHz and 850MHz respectively), with those 400 comprising just twenty texture units.

Click to enlarge The number of ROPs has also been halved from the HD 5750, from 16 down to eight, resulting in a card that is a notable step down in GPU performance, at least on paper, even from the fairly low-performance HD 5750.

However, AMD has at least chosen to furnish the HD 5670 with a 128-bit memory bus the same as the HD 57xx series - and furnished the card with GDDR5 memory in either 512MB or 1GB configurations (most cards at launch will use 1GB), with the memory running at 1GHz (4GHz effective).

Click to enlarge All these hardware cuts have come with the benefit of much lower power demands though, allowing the HD 5670 to tip the scales at a miserly 61W typical maximum board power, and an excellent idle power draw of just 14W.

This low power consumption has allowed ATI to do away with any kind of additional power connector, crucial for the low-end upgrade market where manufactures want to simplify the installation procedure as much as possible.

With 1GB of GDDR5 and running on a cut down Juniper GPU, does this more affordable offering provide an attractive stepping stone to DX11 We find out.
