XFX Radeon HD 5750 1GB GDDR5 Review

Packaging and Accessories

The XFX box remains unchanged from the rest of their HD 5000-series cards with the usual industrial look of the front in addition to the long list of features written on the back. Where this box differs somewhat from the others we have seen is the lack of an Eyefinity logo and a sticker showing which game is included. We’ll have more about the game –or lack thereof- a bit later.


The HD 5750 gets a bit lost in this large box but it is still well protected on all sides with thick cardboard as well as an anti-static bag. It should also be mentioned that even though the card doesn’t look like it is held in place, it is actually stopped from moving around the box by a small tab that holds onto its backplate bracket.


Since the HD 5750 is what many would consider a budget-friendly card, the accessory package is understandably lacking any frills. All that’s included is a Molex to PCI-E adaptor, a quick install guide, a driver CD and an XFX door sign that includes warranty information. Our package didn’t even include a DVI to VGA dongle or Crossfire connector though these may have been a packaging issue rather than a purposeful omission. A game voucher is also conspicuous by its absence but considering the bare bones accessory package a $129 card necessitates, we can understand why one isn’t included.
