ATI Radeon HD 5770 Review

Last month AMD unleashed what went on to become the world’s fastest single-GPU graphics card by a convincing margin, the Radeon HD 5870. This was followed shortly by a slightly watered-down version known as the Radeon HD 5850. The latter has proved to be very competitive, playing second only to its bigger brother and at just $260, it stands without a doubt as the best value high performance offering available at the moment.

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.


We've been particularly interested in the ATI Radeon HD 5770, as last generation's Radeon HD 4770 was one of our all time favorite budget graphics cards. Although it came late in the game, its excellent performance and operating efficiency earned it an “Outstanding” mark, making it the top choice in the $100 range. We certainly expect to see these new series live up to those standards.

I just bought Sapphire Vapor-X version, that comes little overclocked from stock! It was a good deal for the price.

I've bought this card recently and I disagree with the temperatures. I have a Sapphire Vapor-X that comes a little overclocked (860/1200). And now, at idle, it's 37 ºC. Fully loaded, temperature goes no further than 67 ºC... and I have a piece of crap case! Anyway, I'm loving my 5770!

Hi, I'm planning to buy the 'ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5' graphics card with the Dell XPS 9100 and all that other stuff,

I was just wondering if i need an HD capable monitor, or is my 'HP w2207' going to work with it as well???

Thanks,

I think generally each 5770 is sold with at least one DVI connector; hence, you should be alright.

Nice review, but for those of us who don't waste their lives gaming how about putting it to real world tests that graphic designers and motion graphics artists can use. Like testing it with graphically demanding software (after effects, photoshop, 3d packages and editing software) to see what really shines about cards. There's more to life than WoW.

I have this card and it runs much hotter than the test that you did. I've had it for about a year, so I'm guessing after about a year the card starts wearing out or something. Just while writing this post the fan is running at 49% and the GPU is at 64 degrees Celsius. Close to the stress test temperature you recorded. Under stress, it can reach over 100 degrees Celsius.

I am planing on upgrading my old compaq system, I got a great deal on a new asus m2n68-am plus motherboard, will this board support a xfx radeon hd5770?
