MSI Radeon HD 5770 R5770 Hawk Video Card

Comment:
I am completly, 100%, with out a doubt happy with this video card!!!I mainly play WOW and some 1st particular person shooters like CODWAW and BFBC2, immediately after Cata, I began noticing my framerates going beneath 20 fps when in raids and heavily populated places in WOW, I was employing a Sapphire Radeon HD 4670, and I admit it has served me properly for the previous 3 years, but of course it was acquiring outdated. Immediately after I poped this jewel in and downloaded most up-to-date drivers, I noticed a significant distinction, I was capable to turn up every thing in wow to ultra settings and sitting at 50 - 60 FPS, like shaders wich normally kill framerates. All in all I rate this card a ten out of 10! none.Intel Core two Duo E7400 two.8ghz OC'd to three.5ghzAsus tower w/fan CPU coolerAsus P5Q Pro motherboard4gb Mushkin Enhanced Silverline DDR2 800ghz 4-four-four-12MSI R5770 Hawk 1gb cc-875 mc-1200Corsair 450w power supplyAsus DVD/CD combo driveWD Blue 650bg 7500rpm w/dual fan coolerApevia mid tower case wǙ case fans Card also came with MSI Afterburner overclocking utility computer software and MSI Kombuster computer software wich monitors temps, fan speeds, card clock timings, etc.The actual afterburner computer software CD that came with the card would not load properly on my program, it would attempt to open but only half of the window would appear, just went to http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner and downloaded it there.

This card is a fairly good mid-range card, the cooling fans function excellent too. I have an additional 5770 from XFX and this issue is roughly ten-12 degrees [Celsius] cooler. Took an egg off due to the fact the card feels type of flimsy; when it's mounted on my Crosshair IV, I can see it doesn't sit straight when the case is appropriate side up. The end of the card, exactly where the PSU connector goes, dips down a bit, and I can very easily move it up and down a bit. I guess it's the weight of the fans. Got this and XFX 5770 in Crossfire, operates fantastic! Games such as FC2 and BFBC2 run perfectly smooth on highest settings, except the AA is at 4x in FC2.

Great performance vs. price tag point N/A I have a number of computer systems and I was lately attempting to play Assasins Creed Brotherhood on a Q6600 Quad-Core with a Radeon HD3850 and lagging with that hardware became unbearable. Reinstalling it on my new i7-960 and this video card resulted in wonderful performance at high settings. For customers not interested in a number of video cards, this a single will satisfy and the price tag isn't all that poor.

Comment:
Rapidly, great price tag, runs reasonably cool, no problems. None

Comment:
Stays cool immediately after overclock. Fans are a bit load, but thats on total. kinda heavy!

Comment:
Audio over HDMI by default. Twin Frozr II style is attractive and doesn't muck up your case with cheesy pictures or unwanted colors. Overclocking is really as straightforward as installing MSI's Afterburner software program and moving the sliders up a bit. This card is an Exceptional way to upgrade oneself to Direct X 11 with out breaking the bank. I wanted DX11 particularly for LOTRO, but it's confirmed to be a champ even in Metro 2033 - arguably 1 of the (or THE) most hardware-demanding Computer game out there. It won't run effectively if ALL settings are maxed out @ 1080p, but I can nevertheless get decent frame rates with DX11 enabled if I turn down a handful of specific settings to "Medium."Aside from the most demanding games (Metro 2033, Crysis two), you can totally count on to be in a position to max out settings, even at 1080p. Doesn't appreciate my fine taste in guys. I can not resist the allure of acquiring another one particular of these cards for CrossFireX. I know that for the dollars (~跌) I could have much better single-card overall performance, but this card has genuinely impressed me. I am a large fan of MSI and will absolutely be going to them first when it's time to upgrade my mobo and, at some point, this card.LOTRO @ 1080p, DX11, ultra high every thing, 4xAA: about 50FPS in Bree

Looks great inside and out. No difficulties at all. Quiet in the course of all operations. Came with points you may want. Crossfire bridge, molex to pciE converter plug, vga to dvi converter plug and dvi to hdmi plug. None so far. I haven't crossfireX this yet but looks good, operates good and benchmarked properly.

it was simple, and entertaining to install. and all my on the net games(wow, and my kids play wizard 101) perform 100 instances better than with intergrated. none i bought it for a hp p6720famd phenom ll x four 8406gbocz fatal1ty 550wwin7 64

I bought this card many months ago and it has served its objective really properly. I paid a lot more (naturally) than what the present price tag is, but I nevertheless consider it is an overall good acquire. Unless you are into the high finish stuff, it should satisfy most customers. I attempt to play MS Flight Sim X pushing settings as far as I dare take them. And despite the fact that Flight Sim X is really CPU intensive, it does call for more horsepower than this video card can give. I won't slam the card as well difficult, since I certainly have no issues in playing FPS games. I just upgraded to a 5870 card, now that they are "older and obsolete". Enormous improvement more than the 5770. Whilst the prices of 5770 cards are affordable, the costs of 5870s are at an all time low.

Comment:
Incredibly uncomplicated install, significantly reduced fan noise and heat output. None so far. Bought two of these to replace my dual nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX cards, which had been failing. I only used the two 10a power connectors due to the fact the R5770 only has 1 power connection.

Comment:
yes! yes, it will! I love this card! and the afterburner software produced it very straightforward to overclock the card as properly. couldn't be happier it wont cook, clean, or whip for me.

It's been a though since I've owned a gaming Computer. I was quite pleased with the performance of the card for the cost. It runs fairly cool and gives great performance.Paired with a Core i5 Quad Core two.6GHZ, I typical about 50 FPS on Starcraft two, By no means dipping beneath 30FPS for the duration of intense battles. Operating anything on Ultra Settings @ 1920x1080 res. WoW stays at a fairly consistent 60FPS. It can go as high as 80-90FPS in Northrand with out Vsync turned on. Entirely Maxed out... along with 4x AA 񝏠x1080FFXIV Benchmark scores 4500+ on low and 2500+ on high. It can't handle the "Ambient Occlusion" mode.... but I doubt the 5870 could either at 1920x1080....Maybe at 720p it could.... but even then... "Ambient Occlusion takes an insane toll on the processor... It's the new Anti-Aliasing. That mode is to make the game appear even superior a couple years from now, when everyones computers will be a lot far more capable. It's a bit additional expensive than the other 5770 cards. But at least it has a superior heatsink than the stock design. Leaves me area for potentially over-clocking it a bit. I won't try it until I'm sure I'll have the dollars to buy a new card if I break it, even though. Almost certainly wait until the next generation of ATI or Nvidia cards.

Now that I have it operating, it is quite quiet, and as i have no plans on OCing it, it ought to be incredibly stable (other reviewers say that OCing this point is asking for discomfort). Starcraft II runs on -pretty much- max graphical detail (High as an alternative of Ultra), but I can live with that. None, aside from a handful of initial troubles with flickering video, but that could have just been a poor DVI connection, due to the fact a tiny adjustment fixed it. Only owned the card for a little far more than a day, but it appears fairly solid.

Comment:
Tears apart anything I throw at it. I don't own any games that can max it out, I'll attempt crysis soon, as soon as I get it. Overclocking help is completely sweet, genuine time efficiency metrics lets you see how it handles distinct tasks. Looks boss. It takes up two pcie slots even even though it only utilizes 1, just since its so large and mighty. verify your board if you're seeking to do crossfire, make certain you have enough space to fit both cards since the fans are physically large and if your pcie2 slots are proper subsequent to each and every other you might be out of luck. appreciate it.

what a modify, I was blown away with the graphicsreplaced 2 sapphire HD 3870 in crossfire. none I will advocate this card to any person

Comment:
Owned Mine for about 7 to eight months now. Purchased when the cards had been 180$. card has however to dissappoint me. runs every game out there pretty much. Metro 2033 gets about 20-30 FPS when on DX10 on High Settings. Crysis Gets About 25-30 FPS on High Settings. Runs Cool. Mine hardly ever jumps above 40-45C when operating any game. And i program on buying a 2nd a single soon for CrossfireX. Absolutely none at all.

Comment:
Excellent card. Undoubtedly a bang for you buck. Ive had this GPU given that xmas and its been operating strong. Somehow 1 of the fan blades came off, and for the life of me I cant figure out how that happened but it doesn't transform the cooling efficiency of the card general. It makes WoW and BO look pretty amazing with its' direct X 11 assistance. Hopefully I can get my new mobo pretty soon so I can get a different a single of these for Crossfire. I've however to run across a difficulty Whatever you do... when your installing the drivers and stuff for this card. Make certain you download the drivers from the web-site and I dont know if they've updated the CCC lately but dont use/have the CCC installed or it will lead to several BSODs. Just use the website's drivers and the disc's(that comes with the card) system MSI Afterburner.

Comment:
Frozr cooler keeps this point cool under idle and load, i dont see over 55C below complete load gaming for a number of hours. Runs every little thing i throw at it at full settings (NFS shift, WoW, Dragon Age, MW2, u name it). Has dropped ŭ in value since i bought it 6 months ago... obtain it!

Comment:
This card is awesome. If your seeking for a hd 5770 spend the added บ and go with this 1. It overclocks like a champ, with gains of about four-ten fps on most games more than stock timings. My clocks aren't too aggressive, but i feel i could push it further. None Can't wait to get a different 1 and run x-fire!!!

Comment:
I don't overclock far more than MSI already did, and this card runs almost everything Really nicely at 1920x1080 at high to very high settings. Crysis, StarCraft II, Borderlands, and Source engine games all run smoothly, although I look at 24 to 40 fps on Crysis "smooth adequate." Have not tried BFBC2 but.MSI Afterburner gives great manage if you do like to overclock or even just keep tabs on temperature and fan speed.The card fits very nicely into my modest ATX tower. Nothing key re: item itself, but see beneath for something you must be conscious of relating to drivers.Fans can get loud if you like to actually chill your GPU below load, but the core runs at a fairly nice temp (peak 67C) even if you leave it at the default auto setting. ATI's drivers are particularly annoying if you have an HD monitor. For numerous versions back, I keep obtaining unused border space on my monitor unless I manually go into the Catalyst Control Center and fiddle with the settings. CCC isn't very good at saving this underscan correction following you make it.Based on the version, this indicates I have to readjust the underscan soon after restarting Windows 7, launching a game, or both. There are prosperous workarounds for particular versions ྪ.6 included) that fix this. Google it.Bottom line: If you don't thoughts employing old drivers ྪ.three to ten.five) on your card, then this card ought to shine on any game at 1080p for a fantastic price. Nevertheless, if you can't stomach the concept of having to use old drivers while waiting for ATI's software engineers to get their act together, then go nVidia.

I've been playing games at max with this card, and also I should note that this card runs really cool also with the dual fans. none rapidly shipping!

Comment:
Massive improvement more than 2x nVidia 9800GT SLI setup. All current games run incredibly well paired with AMD X4 970. Quite quiet at idle and low load. Smaller PCB ensures a great fit without crowding. Can get loud below a heavy load or extended play, not too negative nevertheless. Would acquire once again and advocate to close friends.

Comment:
Got this card to see how well it would bench compared to other cards on Hwbot. Upped the voltage to 1.3v and pushed the clocks as high as 1025񳆁, but could run any 3DM benches there. Backed off a little and ran 3DM06 @ 988 / 1404 and then had to back off to 977 / 1375 to run 3DM01, 03, 05. Didn't get much over 40 degrees. Than two fans @ 100% are loud. Even though, you could possibly back them down to 80% and be fine.

Comment:
Has sufficient brains to cool itself by cranking up the fan when necessary, in contrast to the Sapphire 3870-X2 it replaced. That overpriced monster had no manage more than its personal fan, and needed Riva Tuner to make it operate adequately. This card is quickly adequate for my modest desires. It runs quietly, but the Cons beneath take 3 stars off its rating. does not do double precision floating point math, not like the Sapphire 3870-X2 and most existing ATI cards. That signifies that any distributed processing job, like folding@home and numerous BOINC projects will not use the GPU. Wish I had recognized this before shopping for.Even worse, the video at random instances goes black for a second or two. No error messages, absolutely nothing in the event viewer to explain it. This started immediately after I'd had it a couple of months. I wish I had not purchased this card.

N/A-- sleek style, maybe? Fans work, but no graphics whatsoever. I don't get to even see the colorful BIOS screen at startup.Card takes up the whole PCI slot subsequent to itFans blast hot air directly on my wireless adapter I'm not certain, but I assume it's a defective card.
