Along with todays launch of the HD 5670, AMD has several other new HD 5000 series cards ready for launch later this month. In the upper mainstream segment we will see a HD 5830 show up, whilst at the other end of the series we will see HD 5400 and HD 5500 variants released with super cheap pricing, these comprising the HD 5450 (said to be using GDDR3 memory), and HD 5550 / HD 5570 cards (supposedly GDDR5 equipped).
Images have appeared online that reveal a low-profile reference design used for these entry level HD 5000 series cards. Also resident is a miniature GPU cooler along with a DVI-D and DisplayPort connector. D-Sub connectivity is also in place if using a full height expansion bracket.
