The ASUS EAH 5750 Formula
This card is not very subtle at all. As with other HD5750 designs, the card is short meaning it'll fit easily into any case with plenty of room to spare. The most striking feature is the F1 shaped cooler. Although it takes up two PCI-E slots in the computer, the i/o backplate only takes up one slot meaning air can vent out more freely from where the backplate would have extended. The black PCB is standard for most HD5750 boards.
The back of the card
On the back are 4 128MB memory chips and the screws holding the fan securely. The memory chips aren't cooled but they must sufficiently cool for ASUS to leave out a back plate to dissipate excess heat.
The Formula 1 fan
The fan itself is what differentiates the graphics cards from generic designs. The F1 shape is more apparent from this angle. The card makes use of a fairly large heatsink spreading laterally with a fan on top to help dissipate heat. The H5750 is a cool running chip so this design makes sure that all the heat gets transferred efficiently. Rather than opting for the red fan of other ATI designs, ASUS settle for a translucent bladed cooler. One complaint is that the fan wire is not braided and thus clashes with the rest of the cooler, if that sort of thing annoys you...
The I/O ports
Unlike the EAH5870, the EAH5750 only has 3 ports: 1xHDMI, 1xVGA and 1xDVI-D. This emphasizes the fact that the card is aimed at the mainstream market rather than the high end, where VGA is non-existent these days. It still allows for multiple monitor outputs although without a DisplayPort connection, Eyefinity is not support. Since the card is not likely to support gaming at these high resolutions, it's not surprising to see the card lacking this feature.
The crossfire connector allows for cheap dual card action
On the side of the card are the crossfire connectors should you want to run two cards for some extra performance. You can also notice here that the plastic cooler cover is screwed onto the heatsink.
Only one 6-pin PCI-E cable is required
The card requires a 6 pin PCI-E connector which goes to show that it does not require a lot of power at all and the 6 pin connector alone should be able to deal with high power draw from an overclocked card.
