Which 5770??

[kieves1]

Hi all

Im looking at ordering a 5770 tomorrow.
Was looking at the club 3d version http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-014-C3&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1515
Or is there a better one for similar money.

Thanks

Some have different video outputs so if you're connecting multiple monitors it might be worth considering that. You probably aren't considering eyefinity with this card, but if you were, neither of these has display port. Other than that, it's just warranty, asus and their voltage tweak, and coolers that make up the difference so choose accordingly.

Anyone rate the XFX ones?

cant complain about my XFX 5770. Sold my 4870 for £70 and bought my mates XFX 5770 for £80, extra tenner for DX11 was proberbly worth it was its on par with the 4870 speeds.

But ive had no problems at all with the card, been sound

I have 2 XFX 5770's in CF and they are awesome.

Playing @ 1920 x 1200, everything set to very high in every way possible and they are truly fantastic

Well it ill be used on a single 19inch monitor so im not fussed what ports it has.
Cheers anyway people

i would try and go for a 5850 to be honest

5770 is more than adequate for a 1440 x 900 monitor (or whatever a 19" is) not much point in a 5850 unless you are getting a higher res one

Not needed for a 19" Monitor though.

Anyone imo, all of them are good just get the one with the longest warrenty

I'm quite happy with my Asus 5770 CUcore, runs well, idles at 35* and clocks admirably. However, if I was put on the stop to critique, it would have to be the fan, while cooling adequately it does tend to make this slightly annoying higher-pitched noise when running at over 60%.


But In all honesty, were I to choose again, I'd go for the same one mate. Good price for what you get. The msi Hawk revision is a decent contender, but I'm not sure whether the premium is worth it to be honest, these are budget cards after all. Though note that a 5770 crossfire is no laughing matter, quite a beast by all accounts.
