You know where to go when you want the best.

Probably not here.

You’re an upper echelon user. You need the very best from your video card, because you’re going to push it to the max. That’s why you need the best card on the market. Which is probably not this one.

Don’t get us wrong, the ATI AMD V5700 Firepro is a fine video card in its own right. Some people might argue it’s basically a V3750 with a different coat of paint, but hey, you didn’t know that until we just mentioned it, so who cares? You’re lookin’ at this card here and now.

So if you want to impress your friends with screenshots of Crysis 2 running at super mega maximum settings or whatever, this isn’t for you. But if you’re looking to do some basic gaming or editing, this might work.

And that’s pretty much our niche: “this might work.”
