How is the HD 5670?

[Redgie]

Hey guys! I'm looking to upgrade my HTPC as it is very jerky and unwatchable to 1080p content, the card I'm looking at is the Sapphire HD 5670.

Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5670 512MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card [11168-01] Graphics and Video ATI HD 5670 Series

Just wondering if anybody has experience with this and knows if it will do true 1080p HD to a 40" 1080p Samsung, and do full surround sound 5.1 or 7.1.

Much Appreciated!

Im looking at this card too. It will do 1080p and HD audio

Its a fantastic card. If anything its over-specced for HD playback. Nothing wrong with having some power up your sleeve though.

What is your current GPU?

An onboard X2100, so basically, nothing!
