MSI R5770 Hawk review

There are two ways of looking at the MSI 5770 Hawk. On the one hand, it's great value compared to the aging generation of DX10 cards. After all, thanks to the AMD Radeon HD 5770 graphics chipset, you get 800 stream shaders, 40 texture units and 16 render outputs.Those figures are all a match for the old Radeon HD 4800 series, until late last year AMD's flagship offering. This factory overclocked MSI board also packs a Radeon HD 4890-spanking core clockspeed of 875MHz. For £124, it's a steal.In fact, it almost looks too good to be true. Surely something had to give when AMD cooked up this cut-price graphics chipset? Turns out, it's the memory bus that's taken a hit, cleaved aasunder and reduced to just 128 bits in width. It's been an awfully long time since a 128-bit bus was fit for the job of serious gaming. In that context, the other way of looking at the 5770 Hawk is as a minor tragedy in the making.AMD and MSI, of course, would argue that the use of ultra-fast 4.8Gbps GDDR5 memory makes up for the narrow bus width. For sure, it does lift bandwidth significantly. But there's no arguing with the benchmark results. The bus does hurt performance. Compared to XFX's Radeon HD 4890, the Hawk is slower across the board.
