I'm assuming the article title is wrong (i.e. 5770 vs. 5570)?

Name
Hi piphil - thanks for pointing that out. We've now changed the name of the card to ATI Radeon HD 5570 which is, of course, the correct one :)

I thought something was wrong, I run a 5770 and while it is no beast it offers decent value for a DX11 card

So how does it compare to the top of the range ATI card from say 2 years ago. This is actually quite an important question, if you think about it, and holds true for every generation/generation jump card. Is a lower range card today, a better bet than a top range card from 2-3 years ago.

Poor context of review
One has got to remember that for low profile PCs this is about the best card you are likely to find for the next year or so and one of the only offering Direct X 11. Because it is low profile it should not be primarily compared with a full height 5670. Compared with previous low profile cards such as the 4550 and 5450, this card tops them all by a significant margin according to all major benchmarking sites. Also progress has been made over the 4 series bringing DirectX ll and Eyefinity plus increase in clock speeds over the 5450. In this context it is an awesome card. In context of mainstream gaming, no, but then this will not be used for that really.
