Ati's Radeon HD 5770 Review

It only has a 128 memory interface and still competes with the 4870 ??

They are comparing it to a 512m 4870 though.

My 4870 oc'ed to 850/1150
 
I think i'll be getting the 5850 in about a month or so

Edit: Linkin you really need to make up your mind on what your getting. You change your mind like every 10min
 
I'm set on the 5770 now. despite having 128bit interface, it uses GDDR5. same clocks as the 48xx series too, along with 40nm and DX11. that's a pretty valid argument there :)
 
What is considered "significant"?

I could not care less how much power my GPU consumes, only how it performs...
 
that's where overclocking comes in. on the last pages of that review you'll see that overclocking the card in CCC put it just above the 4870 in most games.
 
Well, we know that the 5770 will outperform the 4870 in one area. Direct X 11

I personally wouldn't buy a card that is outdated right out of the gate.

The thing about it though, by the time there are alot of DirectX 11 games, the 5770 will be a dog.

It's like the 4770. It's a good performer for the price, but can't really do much. And yes, by itself with DX 11 will probably be a mediocre card. I wouldn't say no to 2 of those in crossfire in my system. Much like many people have done with the 4770's.

If it's a dog with a with DX 11, what does that make the 4870 with DX 11? A dead dog.
 
Still would rather have a 4870. The 4870 512MB overall beats it and is cheaper. You can even get the 4870 1GB cheaper. The price on the 5770 is just to high for its performance.

Now the 5750 is different, its overall as good as the 4850/GTS 250 and the same price for 1GB. models. I would rather have the 5750.

until you overclock the 4870 or have a 4890 and thats overclocked :P

But the 5870 and 5890 will be awesome.

I think everyones going mad over the 5000 series....just because its DX11,Tell me how many games realy even take advantage of DX10 yet? not many.

I say get a 4870=4890..they handle anything you throw at it.

the thing about it though, by the time there are alot of DirectX 11 games, the 5770 will be a dog.

Exactly! like it was with the 8800gt with me,i purchased the 8800gt thinking ohh cool its DX10 it will handle crysis very well.....i was wrong.

Yeah but are the drivers bloated and crappy still? My last video card was an ATI and I loved it, except for the drivers. I went back to Nvidia this last build.
 
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
