After such a long time i am again in this forum .. Sorry to all the gurus and all guys arround here for my long absence .. !! Guys i am planing to buy an ati 5770. But i am confushed between two brands, Sapphire or xfx !! I know both cards are very good. But i do respect ur suggestion so i thought to take some of ur suggestion before i purches any of them .. On basis of survice & warrenty,heat level and performence which one should i buy ? Thanks for ur advice and time .. (sorry for my bad english) ...
I have the Sapphire one. Never had a problem with it and it overclocks fine. You don't get voltage control though.
I can get xfx 5770 lot cheapr then sapphire .. So should i go for xfx ? Is there any performence diffrence between this two ? Thanks for ur reply ..
i doesn't really matter tbh, it's all about what brand you prefer and what brand has the cheapest card..there is no performance difference between them, if you can get the xfx cheaper then the sapphire the go with the xfx..
And wht about stock cooling ? Any heat issue ? Wht is normal core temp of this cards ? And i think my psu is well enough for this card .
it's silent and cools good, no need to worry, and yes your psu is enough, actually your psu can handle hd5870 so don't worry..
I bought this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...0462&cm_re=radeon_5770-_-14-150-462-_-Product I haven't had any problems with it, it overclocks to 950/1400 without a prob with CCC, it is a new revision, the first rev is the one with the huge cooler, this one idles @ 30 - 32C and never goes above 62C on load.
Get the XFX. If possible get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150464 It's factory overclocked already. deltatux
go for xfx..here(malaysia) dont have any xfx service center..thats y i go for asus as they got 3 years warranty instead sapphire 2 years only..xfx got lifetime right?
Actually, that's only half true. XFX is making their own PCBs to cut costs, and most of them aren't performing up to par. They cut too many corners and a lot of people have been reporting spotty performance. You might be lucky, or you might get a dud. I was one of the lucky ones, heh.
He should be fine if he gets the the V1 HD5770 which what I have which has the batman mobile looking cooler. I have no problems hitting 1ghz on the gpu after using MSI Ab and enable unoffical overclocking to apply the clocks. Tho I would say XFX my self for there double life time warranty. Tho the V2 suppose to be using better memory ocing memory cpus.
I am planning to buy this model .. But wht is the specification of this model ? Is that same like normal 5770 ?
It's exactly the same, but factory overclocked. :3eyes: Stock 5770 clocks are 850/1200 in 3D and 157/300 in 2D. That one just has it overclocked at 875/1300. I'm confused. Is that what you're asking?
don't buy pre-overclocked cards they cost more, you can save a few tenners buying the stock clocks card and you can overclock it with catalyst control center very easily.
