ASUS CuCore Series Radeon HD 5770 EAH5770 CuCore/2DI/1GD5 Video Card

Comment:
this is a stong card for the price tag you pay. its all round a actually good deal. it did not work in my older PCI-e 1.X slot. I had to upgreade to a V2. to get the card to post. Also the energy needs are not listed on the web page, but the box says it requires 500w 40a 12v rail. I had to upgrade my mobo to get this card to perform. I could OC the PCI-e v1.x and get it to boot into windows but it was hit or miss. after the mobo update and the new 2. slot the card functions as it ought to every single time

Appropriate right after I purchased this card and was waiting for it to arrive I was beginning to worry it could not be powerful enough for the gaming I wanted to do. Immediately after I installed it and place it to use my worries had been gone. Though it doesn't run games like Crysis at blazing speeds on highest top quality at my max resolution of 1680x1050, it does run quite smoothly at a slightly decrease resolution and detail mostly maxed out. All of the other FPS games I have tried have also run with incredibly satisfying benefits in combination with my i7 930 processor and DDR3 1600 RAM. The DVI refuses to function with newer Samsung Series 30 monitors. Analog operates fine, but DVI does not. I tried it with numerous other LG monitors and there was no issue.This appears to be a rather widespread difficulty as nicely. If you do a search on Google for 5770 DVI connection problems you'll get a lot of relevant final results. For the value this is a excellent card to have. But if you have a newer Series Samsung monitor and plan to use DVI, then appear elsewhere.

Spectacular card - downloaded newest catalyst drivers from ATI and the card worked appropriate of the box, no tweaking, no troubles. Installed on a three gHz dual core and ASUS motherboard (P5Q Pro I assume...). Plays Starcraft II and Crysis at max res and no slowdowns. Doesn't get far better than this. No no cost games in the box.

Excellent card, specifically for the cost. Its tricky to beat the price tag to overall performance ratio that that 5770s give you. I purchased one card to upgrade from a 8800gts SLi setup. I wasn't expecting considerably in the way of FPS gains (always planned on obtaining a 2nd for xfire). Nevertheless I quickly saw 15 fps gains in Just Trigger 2 and was able to run with 4xAA which would result in the game to crash with the 8800s. Drivers. I don't know if this is historically the case with ATI cards but nvidia clearly requires the cake in this category. It took a number of hours of scouring forums and asking people to figure out how to work ATI drivers so my computer would not freeze up and crash. Follow up on the driver scenario for something going from Nvidia to ATI. Make sure the first issue you do before popping in your brand new ATI card is clean your Computer of something nvidia. Then put your new card in and boot your personal computer up. Set up the new drivers through ATI website and catalyst. I would not recommend working with the supplied CD. If you ever take the card out for any cause you have to delete all your drivers and reinstall them once again (something that tends to make no sense but is true). And when you want to move from 1 card to Xfire, you have to delete all your drivers and then place in the second card. Immediately after you have each cards in you have to then reinstall the drivers. Its a discomfort but as lengthy as you aren't moving cards in and out of your Computer all the time it really isn't a difficulty. Just an inconvenience.

Quiet. Low power consumption. Handles something you throw at it like a champ (within cause). Cannot consider of a con for this card at the cost point. AMD updates drivers typically, make sure to check their website monthly! I previously purchased 1 of these for my daughters price range gaming pc over a year ago, it has seen heavy use in quite a few games and has performed admirably and quietly. When I not too long ago helped a buddy develop a comparable (軆) machine, this was the greatest card for the $$$. If you are running games like WoW and have restricted funds, this card is not going to disappoint., stays above 40 fps with sensible* settings in most games.*reasonable򕑰x900-1920x1080, x2AA, medium shadows and water effects, etc.)

None Card would not operate with new drivers. Could only get it to function with driver from 02቞ቦ. Powerdvd will not operate with all films. Nor will some games. Not sure if bad card or drivers. RMA this a single. Can not get refund. Just replacement. Hope the subsequent 1 works. Utilised Matrox vid cards.Then switched to Nvidia. Ought to have stayed with Nvidia. Windows 7 graphics went down to 6 from 6.7. Old card was 8800GTS. Ought to have gone up. AMD Phenom IIx4 9458 gig ramWin7 64bit

- Excellent frame rates. I have 4770, 470gtx, and a 5850 so I thought I would compare them all. - Company of Heroes򏀪-54fps; 4770-52fps; 470-59fps; 5850-59fps- World in Conflict򏀪-33fps; 4770-27fps; 470-53fps; 5850-57fps- Dawn of War II򏀪-38fps; 4770-37fps; 470-50fps; 5850-56fps- Windows Encounter Index5770-7.four; 4770-7.three; 470-7.7; 5850-7.9 The major down side is that this card can get Quite hot. I ran OCCT graphics and in 300sec I had to shut it down as the card hit 98C and was nonetheless climbing. That's with the fan at 100%. As a comparison, my 5850 under no circumstances got over 62C for the very same test. I routinely hit the 70+C when gaming for an hour with the fan on 60%. Not as well bad. Decent low end card. You get extremely playable frame rates. Make confident you have a situation with very good airflow. One more fan blowing on the graphics card would enable control the heat.

Waited for 2D drivers to be updated just before finding a 5xxx series card. Noticed important power savings and less noise. Had a 4xxx beast just before (over 跌), but don't see a fantastic value more than this card (~贶). The power savings more than makes up for anything else, and two of these will give you greater performance per dollar than the actually 58xx and 59xx series cards. I also went with this card because I went with the RoG III Motherboard (ASUS). Starcraft II settings are maxed out with no a sweat. I don't notice any artifacts on the screen (Update your drivers) I don't seriously have any Cons. I am not a super uber gamer. I am far more interested in video editing and enterprise stuff. Obviously I nonetheless play games like Starcraft II. Technique is really stable:RoG III Mother boardThis video card12Gb Ram1250 Watt gold class power supply

Price tag, looks, 3D efficiency (stock speed) Mediocre cooling At 22C ambient the core gets over 80C right after ten minutes of Furmark. That doesn't leave a lot space, if any for overclocking and you'd have to be nuts to overvolt it. Thinking of the price tag that's fine, but Asus shouldn't push the heatsink as becoming something specific. It's a standard orb design with a copper core and a plastic shroud that doesn't even do a excellent job directing airflow out the slotted vent. Getting mentioned that it's difficult to complain too significantly when it was 130 immediately after rebate, 50 much less than the Hawk which is what you want if you're going to overclock.

we got this card origionally on a budget, top quality machine, but then decided to go out with the create, and the card was the only spending budget-choice to make. so were seeking for 80$ and so on, then just thought, why not go all out on a excellent bang for your buck card, and here you go, an EXCELENT card. i cant say as well considerably overall because i havnt had it too lengthy, but in a month, it will spit out numerous games, like GTA IV and so forth, almost everything is smooth as butter, and it doesnt even get genuinely all that hot! it idles around 36-38c with my 24" monitor, but on two screens its about 43c idle, not undesirable, in game mode on 30% fan, it gets about 58c beneath load for a good though of gaming. the power requirement isnt a as well poor requirement, seeing as its potential. HDMI is excelent, does 1080P flawless, what a lot more can you ask for? spring for the further couple of dollars to get 1, its new, its cool, and the overdrive feature just tops it off! :] i dont have one more! havnt tried crossfire, but thats one more day :]

Comment:
Uncomplicated to overclock. Runs quietly. Preformance at 1080p virtually maxes out just about every game I've thrown at it, and for a card this low-cost, thats impressive. 2nd HDMI instead of VGA would be nice. Possibly even DVI instead of VGA. Had the card for just about a year now, and it's still wonderful. I purchased it with a spending budget in thoughts, and it still maxes out SC2 @ 1080p.

Comment:
Wonderful card, litterally doubles the PCMark of my old overclocked 8800GT. Also peak temps on 5770 are about 65C exactly where peak on 8800GT was 72C. Idle temps were 5770: 39C 8800GT 58-60C. ATI driver are now stable with Win 7 64, 5770 elevated windows index from 6.7 to 7.4 in graphics. When I installed this card I recieved a boot/post error, if I ignore the error every thing appears to load commonly. I feel I just want to upgrade my power provide. Also I tried to run 3DMark and at some point the approach hung and crashed (could be unrelated) which never happend with my 8800GT.l Asus should have read some of these critiques and they now include a crossfire bridge even though I am not employing it. The fan sits just above my SATA ports and is pushing 1 of the cables slightly.As usual newegg shipping impresses, I ordered this card on a Saturday it shipped monday and I recieved it midday Tuesday.

Comment:
Worked great for 32 day. 30 day warranty, on the 32nd day I was playing Aion, max settings, which I do on a regular basis with fantastic temps. and not as well high of a load, with 4GB RAM, and an unlcoked 445 3.4, finding 60-80FPS, it just stutters for a second, then blacks out, then comes the bluye screen, windows error. I guess it was poor. ;/ Wasted 150$

Comment:
Card has been basically difficulty cost-free, and plays anything I need it to. (GTA IV, Crysis, Hellgate London) Runs hot. I can cause the card to crash if I go also high with settings.Initially I wasn't able to get the HDMI operating with my second monitor, but it worked at some point (not certain what changed...) I removed the plastic cover and redid the thermal paste with Arctic Silver. Runs about four°C cooler at idle. My case isn't so wonderful for cooling, so when I get a second 1 for crossfire, I could have some heat difficulties :)

Comment:
Runs super cool. 108 watts every single! Non reference fan is really quiet. Bought this card to crossfire with my other ASUS EAH5770 V2 egg item # is N82E16814121355. Screams in crossfire, murders all the games I've tested. Battlefield BC2 (Vsync'd no tearing max settings), Crysis (get 40FPS almost everything on ultra high, AA OFF), FarCry 2 (Ultra High, DX10 Vsync, 8xAA), HLɆ (only lets me go 6xAA for some reason 16xAF, Vysnc'd highest settings), Mirrors Edge ƘxQuad AA max settings vsync'd), StarCraft two (not super intensive anyway) Non reference fan doesn't exhaust out the back. VRM's are a bit noisy, but doesn't imply a dilemma. I've heard lots of 5770's with noisy VRM's. I can't hear them when I'm gaming, only when the side panel is off and I'm checking issues. Nonetheless can't max Crysis lol. Only gets ㅠFPS with no AA, start turning up the AA and it chokes. In the Crysis 32bit benchmark, cant get the 64bit 1 operating at all -shrug-, it averages 45fps with no AA. Turn on vsync frame rate drops to 30, but its smooth no lagging, and no tearing. Ive had my other 5770 for more than 6 months and it alone was pretty dang rapid when i clocked it up to 960 cpu 1350 ram. 3DMark Vantage scores had been 16,044 for two 5770's in crossfire stock clock settings. In comparison, my buddies two way SLI GTX285's score is 20,140, darn physx tests!

Amazing performance! Negative Corporation 2 runs wonderful on it with all settings on high and 4x AA with just a single card. Fan/Heatsink combo works really well too. You can't beat the value. Rock strong performance. It wasn't totally free. Heatsink is Huge. Clearance would definitely be an situation if you tried to do a Crossfire (or any other card for that matter) straight under it. Also its fairly extended, I have a massive Antec server case and there isn't area for a HDD directly in front of it.

Comment:
handles dx10 and high finish games really smoothly aside from cons, no frame skipping with maxed out settings. artifacts in each game, at times tiny "H" shaped black dots, other instances flipping black triangles all more than the screen.crashes personal computer devoid of warning, even right after setting temperature alarms and underclocking these issues still stay but much less severely. worst game is age of conan, other folks might seem relatively unaffected but then crash my process immediately after minutes of play. i noticed these troubles immediately after a month or so, but i assumed it was unrelated to the card. im at the moment in my 5th day of waiting for a manufacturer response, im going to contact them once again.

Low value, 5770 is nonetheless a excellent worth. Asus overclocking utility is junk, heatsink* (see other). Several users have reported that the heatsink on this card merely doesn't cut it. At greatest it's as excellent as a reference heatsink and in some situations it appears to be worse. I took mine apart and discovered that the finish on the copper base was terrible with many big gouges from machining. The application of thermal paste was also uneven with a giant glob on one particular half and virtually none on the other side. Because I was going to lap my CPU heatsink I went ahead and lapped this a single as nicely to a nice semi-mirror finish and employed TX-2 thermal paste upon reassembly. The outcome was a drop from more than 80C to 71C at 22C ambient. Now I have some overclocking headroom and can do 950񳄄 with no problems at stock voltage. So if you're having temp problems with this card and don't want to invest in a new a single, about 4 dollars worth of sandpaper and 30 minutes could resolve the issue. Just google "how to lap a heatsink" for a guide on lapping. I'm sure it voids the warranty but for me it was worth it.

Bought 2 of these proper away with the intent to CrossFire (CF). Works out of the box w/o a dilemma in Win7 32Bit w/ default drivers! On default voltage Ƒ.2v) I was in a position to get the initially card that arrived to over 950MHz core and 1300MHz memory, have not tried the second as I went suitable for CF instead of trying to discover it's max. Ahead of I chucked it in I tried to uncover the minimum voltage at default core clocks which ended up becoming 1.04v! There are three auto-clock presets the card makes use of, 2D, video playback and 3D. 2D runs at an incredibly low 150 or 175MHz core and some thing like 300Mhz memory with a core voltage of .950v. video playback runs somewhere along the lines of 500Mhz core and 800Mhz memory with 1.000v on the core. So as you can see, you can essentially run at video playback voltages though gaming! What that does is drastically decrease the core temp! Both cards are in a position to run completely stable at 850񳃒 1.04v. (Cont. in Other Thoughts) Not a fan of the aftermarket cooler. I think it is a fantastic notion on paper, but just doesn't do as properly as other cooling setups. Personally this card wasn't my initially option, it truthfully wasn't even on the list of options heh That is fairly much due to the fact of the cooler alone! Even so I was able to get an incredible deal on two of these, brand new in the box, far less than even the price tag of these following the existing MIR, so I can't really complain given that it functions and functions properly! As of now, the cooler is my only True con.The other slight con would be only 1 CrossFire connector on the cards, so something more than a 2 card config I'm fairly confident isn't attainable. Whether or not all the 5770s are this way, I haven't seriously paid attention, or if they can do Dongless/Linkless CF I once more can't say. I know you can force that choice in ATi Tray Tools, but regardless of whether or not it will operate is an unknown.Also not a worthy 'con' is that it won't do Hybrid-CF on the 890GX :( lol I'm positive I could run 1300 on the mem but I haven't felt the require, as @ 1680x, 8x Edge AA (which is like 24xAA), Adaptive AA, 3x Temporal AA, in Race Drive GRID I never drop below 65FPS :) I've but to test a more recent game like NFS: SHIFT or DiRT 2, but I'm positive I'd only have to turn off AAA or TAA, or possibly just drop the AA from Edge to Wide Tent (ㅈxAA).Appropriate now I'm operating the cards in an open-air setup, but the method is confined to the corner of my computer system area so airflow isn't exactly the /best/ it could be. Nevertheless I don't go more than 72c on both cards in GRID with the above settings and clocks+voltage. No matter whether or not that is great, I can't seriously say, but I have a feeling it will actually _strengthen_ when everything is in my case with good airflow and on the floor receiving cooler air. THE BOTTOM LINE: If you can get the MSI HAWK or Sapphire Vapor-X for less expensive or about the similar value, do it! If you can get a great deal like me, you WON'T be unhappy! User Error if you are! ;

Great price, operates well if you get a very good one, it has a VGA port for men and women like me who are stuck with an ancient monitor... Died soon after 2 hours of use. I wasn't able to use Newegg's return policy, so I had to use its warranty. The Asus assistance internet site is extremely difficult to navigate, significantly of its information is written in "Engrish", and it took me a week to get an RMA number. (If truth, I had to truly call them to get a number, and they only replied right after I had named to complain). It took two weeks for them to repair and ship it back. I in all probability would have just looked for a different video card as an alternative of dealing with all of Asus's garbage had I recognized it would die on me. This will surely make me think twice just before getting a different Asus graphics card once again.

Does every little thing advertised. Runs super smooth, games, video, desktop apps. Windows exp score of 7.four in my house machine. Nothing at all! (yet) My 1st ATI in 8 years soon after longtime loyalty to NVida chipsets. Really happy customer.

Comment:
Performs nicely, Does precisely what I will need, directX 11, looks cool. ASUS wise physician software program stinks (use afterburner from MSI), drivers from AMD are little tweaky. I've had lots of screen flickering and game freezes, but I ironed out the problems straightforward sufficient. All I had to do was uninstall, then reinstall all of the ATI drivers. Functions just fine now. Certainly a excellent card for the value, but with the 6000 series out, can't say I'm not disappointed I didn't wait.

-At the time, was the lowest priced 5770. (财 after MIR)-Had a rail along the top to stabilize the PCB-Cooler was decently silent -Had to RMA initially one due to not POSTing and crashing at even stock clocks, voltage, appropriate settings, etc.-Loud buzzing sound from 3d loads (apparent in all the Asus ones and not from the Fan)-Heatsink high quality sucks. It was @ load at 90C stock clocks. I have decent cooling in my case Ƒ 120mm intake, 1 120mm exhaust with ample space for the card) and My power provide is much more than enough (Corsair 620HX). I removed the cooler to reseat w/ Thermal paste, the finish on the Copper core had a couple of scratches and dimples. Don't be fooled, this is a low expense alternative copper cooler due to top quality. It is *NOT* 11% cooler than reference as the box suggests. After placing on paste, the temps were barely lower ㆎC. The cooler is to blame.-Considering that Cooling sucked, OC capacity was lower. only around 900mhz core and 5000mhz Mem (bootable but slightly unstable).-Asus software program sucks, really user unfriendly, MSI's is a lot better.-Wouldn't even try volt modding this with the onboard cooler -Get this if you're going to get an aftermarket cooler only due to the fact you can voltmod it. The excellent of the finish of the heatsink to the GPU is horrible. How difficult is it to get a solid metal get in touch with? I can understand brushing metal valleys, but not dimples and potholes.-Asus, at 1st you had been great when i was acquiring your older socket939 motherboards. Due to the fact then i've gotten many goods from you with wierd flaws. Laptop had keyboard lag problems when employing mousepad driver (not big but an annoyance). A value socket 775 board failed. Now your video card can't even compete to a vanilla reference 5770 mainly because of temps that are skyhigh and heatsink quality that is in the pits. I would rather trust my money to a brand like Gigabyte on your components now. So Extended Asus, You just lost a customer.
