Just tested this new R5570 video card from MSI. This VC sits between the entry-level 5450 and the mid-entry level 5670. So I guess it?s a value card with performance.  The good thing about this card is, it is specially designed for HTPC types of PC and the rear ports consists of D-SUB, HDMI and DVI. Also this is a low profile card and the active cooling is enough for long period of use. Load temp usually goes up as 55 to 58c only.

Another test overclocked 920 @ 3.4ghz and overclocked 5570 (I overclocked the 920 just to check if the GPU score would go up but it didn?t hehehehe)

Core: 650mhz to 862mhz
Memory: 800mhz to 1092mhz

Thanks for your thoughts.  The 5570 has a small fan.  Is she quiet?  Not quiet compared to the Intel cooler (which isn't very) but quiet to use in a low noise system...

I opted for the MSI 5750 (which is dual slot) and its larger fan is reasonably quiet.  Performance is way more than I need since I don't really game.  Gaming days are long gone for me.  ;D
 
My MSI 5570 (ref design R5570-MD1G) has

1x Low Profile DVI & HMDI
1x Low Profile HD15-VGA
1x DVI-A to HD15-VGA adapter
