The recently released Juniper GPU (Radeon HD57XX) series of graphics cards brings a variety of innovations to the market, and is able to do so at quite an attractive price. 40nm process technology, GDDR5 memory, improved energy efficiency, and DirectX 11 support are all here... and in a card priced at less than $150. This review is going to take a closer look at an HD5750 card from Sapphire that comes with 1GB of memory running at 1150MHz, a 700MHz GPU. While we will obviously be interested to see what this card can do on its own, while we're at it we'll run a pair of them in CrossFire to see if it plays nicely with others.

There are a bunch of new technologies being implemented with this card, one of which is "ATI Eyefinity Technology", which lets one GPU drive up to six displays [more information]. This isn't just for a multi-display desktop, but for expanding 3D games for a more immersive experience. Another item of interest is support for Microsoft's DirectX 11, their latest graphics technology made available in Windows 7 [more information].
