Ati's Radeon HD 5770 Review

linkin93 · 10-19-2009, 06:16 PM

catalyst 9.9 seems fine to me. however for some reason the ati overdrive page is constantly refreshing itself every ~15 seconds. They also seemed to stop crashes in far cry 2.

since i'm about to buy one of these very very soon, let me ask: what's a better option? two 5770 or one 5870? price wise the two 5770 is about $50 cheaper

Sure, 2 5770 in crossfire will beat a 5850. One or two benchmarks it beats the 5870. But if you have enough to get 2 5770s I would still get a 5850 and when the prices drop alittle get another 5850.

I rather have one HD5850 over two HD5770

Because not all games can use two GPUs (like GTA 4 for example). Furthermore, one HD5850 can really run almost any game at max settings, and it will have lower power consumption that 2 5770 as well.
