We checked out the reference design of the ATI HD 5750 last
month and, to be honest, it got the sort of reception we'd
normally give to a visit by Peter Mandelson. Actually, that's
not true, nobody tried to punch him in the face.  Anyway, it
didn't do particularly well. Now the graphics manufacturers are
producing their own versions and here we've got the HIS version
with a whole new cooler on it. Aside from that things ain't too
different.  We're still talking about a 700MHz clockspeed, 1GB
GDDR5 and a 128-bit memory bus, but importantly we're also
talking about a month down the line in terms of driver
stability, which ought to make a vast difference.  AMD has
always been good at updating its drivers, some would say because
of the failings of particular GPUs it's had to be, and that's
shown by the performance of the 4850 today and what it was at
launch.  The same it seems can now be said of the 5750; at
launch Dexter got single figure performance numbers out of Far
Cry 2 at the higher resolution of 2,560 x 1
