Any PC gamer would be familiar with the dilemma of setting up a decent gaming rig. On one hand, you'd want some serious hardware to run your games.
On the other hand, you'd want enough left in your budget to actually purchase original games.
Fortunately for the gamer on a budget, AMD offers an excellent entry-level video card for about RM300 - the ATI Radeon 5570.
Although nowhere as pricey or bulky as the higher-end video cards, the Radeon 5570 lets users enjoy their games and videos at a surprisingly good level of graphics.
Let the games begin
Before we get to anything else, let's cut to the chase: What kind of games and what quality of visuals can a gamer expect from an ATI Radeon 5570?
We tested the video card on a 32-bit Vista PC running a 2.5GHz Intel Core 2 Quad processor with 4GB RAM.
We picked a selection of four games, and each was set to play at 1,600 x 1,200-pixel resolution at "high" setting.
The two real-time strategy games we chose, Supreme Commander 2 and Dawn of War 2, looked great. We commanded our massive armies and enjoyed the spectacular particle effects and explosions that occurred throughout the battlefields without noticing any significant lag or choppiness.
