GIGABYTE RADEON HD 5750 REVIEW

"Gigabyte Radeon HD 5750 review also features Gigabyte Radeon HD 4770. Gigabyte Radeon HD 5750 has 7% lower clock speed, 31% higher memory speed and extra 12% Shader Processors compared to the Gigabyte Radeon HD 4770. Gigabyte Radeon HD 5750 and Gigabyte Radeon HD 4770 both have GDDR5 memory but the Gigabyte Radeon HD 5750 has 1GB while the Gigabyte Radeon HD 4770 has 512MB. Both the Gigabyte Radeon HD 5750 and Gigabyte Radeon HD 4770 use a 128Bit Memory Interface but the Gigabyte Radeon HD 5750 has one BIG advantage. The Gigabyte Radeon HD 5750 has DirectX 11 while the Gigabyte Radeon HD 4770 has only Directx 10.1. How will these differences effect performance?"

GIGABYTE RADEON HD 5750 FEATURES

You’ll also enjoy frequent updates, reliable customer service, and an interactive user feedback program, all backed by ATI’s technical confidence, industry-leading capability, and uncompromising commitment to creating your ultimate visual experience."

Shader Model 5.0

"Shader Model 5.0 adds support for indexed temporaries which can be quite useful for certain tasks. Regular direct temporary access is preferable is most cases. One reason is that indexed temporaries are hard to optimize. The shader optimizer may not be able to identify optimizations across indexed accesses that could otherwise have been detected. Furthermore, indexed temporaries tend to increase register pressure a lot. An ordinary shader that contains for instance a few dozen variables will seldom consume a few dozen temporaries in the end but is likely to be optimized down to a handful depending on what the shader does. This is because the shader optimizer can easily track all variables and reuse registers. This is typically not possible for indexed temporaries, thus the register pressure of the shader may increase dramatically. This could be detrimental to performance as it reduces the hardware’s latencies."
