Introduction

To say we were happy with the HD 5870 Vapor-X model from Sapphire would be a bit of an understatement, its fancy new cooling and small bumps in core and memory clocks made it a great card.

At the same time the HD 5870 Vapor-X was launched, the new mid range HD 5750 was released into the same series. While we're not expecting the same "WOW" factor from the HD 5750, we expect this model to carry with it better cooling numbers compared to the standard HD 5750. This shouldn't be too hard, though, since the main emphasis on the Vapor-X series is the cooling.

The HD 5750 Vapor-X from Sapphire is only the third card to get run through our new benchmark line up. This time around due to the model being a mid range one, how we test is going to be a little different; we'll talk more about that under our test system setup. For now, we'll have a quick look at the package before having a closer look at the card itself.
