Pros: Very good performance Comment:
Finally I can play starcraft 2 in the best graphic mode! Beware for the mail in rebate is in US dollars. The bank charged me 7$ to cash the check. The card is very nice but a bit noisy. I was however before with a fanless card. |

Pros: Quiet, O/Cs well Comment:
An excellent budget card if on sale. Very quiet, good cooling system, overclocks pretty decently. Of course, not comparable to the top end cards, but for a system that isn't built primarily for gaming, this is perfect. |

Cons:
Downloading the included Dirt2 Game from Steam is 10gigs...On a Cell Internet Plan that's just murder.
Pros: Price, Quietness, Speed, Coolness. Comment:
I have COD Modern Warfare cranked and tried Dirt2 so far..Card is quiet (unlike cards of the past) with only a slight noise coming from the case. Heat is not an issue either. I love the card thus far..played COD online smooth with all settings cranked...played a tad smoother than my 4850 so yea I'm liking it and noise-wise in comparison to the Powercolor 4850 there's a very large difference. With my 4850 I had to install aftermarket cooling. |

Great value card. Installed on a new build with Win7-64 and two 24" monitors. Used latest drivers from ATI. Not used for gaming but light CAD and graphics work. No problems with the card or drivers so far. |

A Little Bland
Pros: Very FastLow Power ConsumptionAverage Sized for Small to Average Sized Cases Comment:
This is a great card for a budget conscience user. It has similar performance as a 4870 with much lower power consumption. The cooler is also effective at keeping temps down, although a little bland looking. Overall, very happy with this purchase! |

Cons:
I wonder about future-proofing the next generation of games.Card gets in the way of PCI slots, but that's more of a motherboard issue.
Pros: Good price.DX11Doesn't heat up.Fairly easily installed. Comment:
I bought this because it seemed to be the sweet spot right now. Pretty good specs, DirectX 11 capable, and gets good reviews. The Dirt 2 game was kind of a bonus, although I don't know how much I'll play it without a wheel. It's a good card for now, and if I need more later, I can either use crossfire, or just upgrade. Good buy. |

Cons:
probably need a additional fan underneath the video card if you are a gamer that play games more than 4hours a day, but I am ok since I only play 1-2hour a day.
Pros: Able to play latest game fine. tried ultra high performance with Starcraft 2 beta bnet and it runs very well. hook up 3 monitors and run perfectly Comment:
Overall the video card worth a price. I got this because of the 1gb ddr5, eyefinity, hdmi output with two dvi, and runs perfectly on starcraft 2 and that's the only game I play so far. Replaced this because my 9800GT 512mb ddr3 can't run the ultra high performance level in starcraft 2. |

Not the best cooling but it does a fine job

Cons:
- Not top of the line- Dual slot card, but covers 3 slots!
Pros: - Good upper midrange card- DX11- Great price- Doesn't use tons of power Comment:
This is a great midrange DX11 graphics card. Windows Experience index of 6.0 for graphics (both). When on sale, the price is terrific, it hasn't been massively jacked up like the 58xx series cards, but has pretty much all the features... Eyefinity, Display port, HDMI, and dual DVI. I've got the Star Craft 2 Beta cranked up to ultra detail at 1680x1050, and it looks awesome. Video playback is also very smooth. I haven't yet tried the GPU assisted video transcoding.As another reviewer said, the PCS heatsink/fan combo is pretty big, and protrudes just enough to interfere with a third slot... so while this card is not that long, it's pretty think. That might cause issues if attempting to run this in CrossFire. |

Cons:
-If you are looking to maximize everything for the newer games that just came out, go with the 5850 or the 5870 (Depends on your resolution and CPU)
Pros: -Runs very cool and overclocks high-Cheap, cheap price, especially with pricematch-Stellar card Comment:
Best card for the money right now, don't hesitate on this one... Runs so cool for me, 36 Celcius Idle with 960 MHZ Core OC on 80% FanRuns a lot of games on maximum, just not the brand new ones. |

Cons:
Covers up 2 slots. As of this writing the ATI 10.3 drivers have some minor problems. Cursor doubles in size now and then, only way to fix it is reboot. Some games seem to have some sort of flickering. Very minor annoyances.
Pros: Very quiet, seems to run cool. Free game (Dirt 2). Doesn't require a huge amount of power. Easy to install. Runs all my games that I play (HL2DM, Fortress Forever, Dirt 2 and a few others) at 1920x1200 with 45 to 180 frames per second. (24 inch monitor with X2 4800cpu, 4 gigs ram on XP 32bit) Comment:
Great card overall, drivers are still a bit iffy, but its only minor annoyances which should eventually be cleared up.It takes up an extra slot but thats not such a big deal. Needs to be plugged directly into the power supply, annoying but again not really a big deal.Its nice to be able to watch 1080p video on my computer.I recommend this card to my friends when they are looking to upgrade as its a decent price and pumps out some good quality graphics. |

Dirt 2 - meh .. no shootingcovers 2 extra slots
Pros: QuietCoolDirt 2 - free gameShort length Comment:
This card should say PCS+ ... Great little card, fits inside a small case, but be aware that it covers 2 extra slots. That fan protrudes out just a tad too much. Works well, runs everything max at 1680x1050, or high settings at 1920x1080. If you can tell the difference between minimum 60fps and 100fps then this might not be the card for you =)Runs cool and quiet. |

Cons: Seems a bit bulky
Pros: DX 11. Great value. Comment:
This card will rock your world. Ok, maybe not rock your world, but it provides great performance for the price. You'll get similar performance out of the 4870, but you won't get all the new "toys" included (DX11, eyefinity). If you're not looking to go top of the line, but still want a card that will do it all for you... then get a 5770. |

Pros: Good price vs. performance rating when on sale Comment:
If you find this on sale, you probably won't regret it. It has a good price vs. performance rating - if you're not looking for super high end, I don't think you can really go wrong with this card.And did I mention DirectX 11 to boot? |

Cons: Not as high performing as you'd think from a next gen card.
Pros: Good value if you can get it on sale. Comment:
Overall single card performance is slightly less than stellar. Comparable to a 4870 but really not as good overall according to the review sites. Where I find the value is that you get Eyefinity, DX11 support, and the power saving features. A pair of these cards in Crossfire is going to be higher performing than a single 5850. However, if you've seen the review sites of how a Crossfire setup compares to a single 5850, it will be up to you to decide whether it's a better value. Overall I'd say the Crossfire setup will give you 10-15% performance increase, but you have to make sure that the price is worth it. If you're paying on par with a 5850 it's a no brainer, but if you are paying more than 7.5% for the Crossfire setup I'd say go with the single 5850 as there's better power consumption numbers and the chance to upgrade to a 5850 Crossfire setup in the future. I really like the 5850 and the potential to Crossfire that setup later, but I had to consider cost and getting 5770 Crossfire for the price of a 5850 made sense.If anyone is doing a Crossfire setup, make sure your motherboard has an extra PCI slot between your two PCIe slots. Because this card doesn't have the standard fan/shroud and instead has the larger fan and heatsink, it will not allow you to fit two of these cards one on top of the other in certain motherboards. I found this out when I was building a new rig for my brother. The other parts haven't arrived yet so I tried setting Crossfire up on my Asus P6T motherboard. It will NOT fit. Even if it were the standard 5770 it would be a tight fit and i'd have airflow concerns, especially for the upper card so keep this in mind.Hope this bit of info helps! |
I bought this from Ebay ncix outlet. The board is very short compared to other Radeon HD 5770's.I replaced my aging Radeon HD4850.
