Sapphire Radeon HD6570 Video Card

Conclusion

Sapphire has given us a great budget video card.  This card is capable of playing back in HD with no problem.  The quiet fan and easy installation makes this a great card for HD playback and light gaming.  While we did have some problems with the high end gaming, not everyone needs/wants to shell out hard cash for a video card.  As we mentioned initially its quite obvious that the 6570 with its low power envelope and low price is not geared towards gaming as much as the advanced desktop user.
This quiet card, along with the HDMI port, makes it a perfect upgrade for a home theater setup.  This card has no problem with supporting multiple monitors, another plus for a budget upgrade.  If you’re in the market for an upgrade to watch Blueray/HD videos and play some light gaming, the Sapphire Radeon HD 6570 is a great addition to your setup.
Given its low price, excellent low power draw, and consequently low heat output, the Sapphire 6570 should be at the top of your consideration list for your next build or upgrade.  It is perfect for dual display setups, media playback, and office uses.  Its 3D capabilities serve to enhance its feature list rather than champion it.

    Does the large cooling system on this video card mean that I will be unable to use the PCI-E x1 slot that’s next to the PCI-E x16 that I was planning on installing a video card in?

    Thanks

      That is correct. This card does take up 2 PCI slots (as do 99% of Video Cards these days). Do know that if you have a PCI x1 card that you’re looking to use, that card can be used in a x8 or x16 slot also.

        Thanks for the info. I did know that you can install a x1 in a x4,x8, or x16 PCI E slot, it’s just that the board I was thinking about using only has 3 slots, a PCI E 2.0 x16, a PCI E 2.0 x1, and a legacy PCI, and I was planning to use the x1 to add either an addition USB 3.0 header and some extra external USB 3 ports or a wireless network card, a video card in dual graphics in the x16, and a TV Tuner in the PCI. I guess it’s back to the drawing board
