It's about time they filled that yawning chasm between the 5570 and the 5450...not. I don't really get why they need so many low-end card models. Anyone is buying a card on purpose to game isn't going to choose less than a 5670 (shouldn't anyway). If they're not going to game then the 5450 is lousy enough (and cheaper)...

And o.k, so it's an OEM card, but the logic still applies and they could go with a 5450 or 5570 and it would be fine.

I don't see this card running DX11 games either. GPGPU maybe?

@ Changnoi cards like the 5670 and better performers are only useful for 1680*1050 and higher resolutions. If you have a 1024*768 monitor: why would you buy such a powerful card?

I use Sapphire ATI RADEON HD5550. It has Directx 11 and games that support dx11 works just fine. (ex: Assasin's Creed: Brotherhood) The only prob is games dont run at full graphics, at balanced quality. However it is a good card for low budget, better than nvidia.
