    Continuing with the successful rollout of its Radeon HD 5000 series, AMD is now moving to attack the sub-$200 market, and hopes to keep the momentum going with the Radeon HD 5770 and 5750. Codenamed Juniper XT and Juniper LE, respectively, the first is said to cost just $160, while the lower-end 5750 will cost between $110 and $130 depending on memory configuration.

    It would be nice if Nvidia would even make a refresh for DX11, so we would see more games in development using it.

    They seem to be hooked on just making new Ion stuff and targeting low-profile systems.
    I'd assume there also still making pretty good money from PS3 GTX Card sells to sony as well.

    It's a decent card, but even at its price point nowhere near as attractive as the HD 5850.

    In your opinion which card would be a better pick now, the HD 4870 or the HD 5770?

    I think the conclusion says it all, only the prospective buyer can decide between those two depending on what has more weight to him.

    5770 = Newer feature set, lower power consumption, cooler running.
    4870 = A bit more horsepower, older card that can be bought at a discount, probably until inventory runs out.

    7.1 through HDMI ought to save me a lot of money, but perhaps the HD 5750 is all I need for a HTPC.

    It's nice to see the Radeon cards competing with the top Nvidia cards again. I thought about picking up the new 5870 or 5970 but unfortunately they are out of stock everywhere!
    My friend just got a new PC with this Radeon 5770 card and it has been performing very well so far in all the games he's played.

    A good 550W PSU like the Corsair 550VX should do fine.

    i was wondering whether a 500W PSU is ok as well?

    Yeah. It should be fine as long as it is of a reliable brand.

    Fair enough, I am tilting towards making a decision on replacing my aging EVGA 9600GT (512mb) with Radeon 5770 (1GB).

    PSU

    Hi
    I have a 400W PSu which peaks upto 450W.
    And that is the primary reason I'm settling for the 5750 instead of 4870 or 260.
    Do I still need to upgrade my PSU?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have a 450w Corsair PSU and a 5770 and I've had no problems with it.

    Is the 5770 a good choice for the Dell XPS 9000? I could not find out the power supply capacity of the 9000. Hoping you know it.

    Please start your own thread, that way you will have better chance of getting appropriate advice along with complete system specs/service tag etc.

    As an FYI regarding the XPS 9000, it uses a 475W power supply sustained. I own the system and am looking to upgrade the meager 4350 Radeon they put in it. There is also a 6 pin and a 6+2 pin already connected from the power supply so you can go average or high end if necessary.
