Dell's Graphics Cards

[gabrimor]

Hi!

 

Thanks for reading my new topic.

 

I wanna buy a Radeon 5970, for my collection.

 

I found a good offer in my country, but it's a Radeon listed as Dell part:

What do you think about the quality of this?

 

I have graphics cards from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte.....

 

But Dell is something new to me.

 

Thank you!!!

There's nothing special about it. The card is simply an OEM-version, taken from a prebuilt PC instead of one that's sold separately.

Dell is the same as Dell Computers.  They probably have the card made somewhere else but that wouldnt bother me as typically these OEM machines are meant to last some time or they would have a bad reputation.  I have a Dell R9 Fury X.

It's just a regular reference hd 5970 but Dell contracted a gpu maker to make one for them and slap their brand on it. It's no different in the end from other reference 5970's.

Why DELL cards have a different backplate, with this extended session on the side? This makes the card longer....
