Pros

A less expensive, but modern card that can still handle gaming.
It's a 4870with DirectX 11, Great power envelope, Practically silent, Cheap
Unmatched feature set, Extremely low power consumption, 1.36 TeraFLOPS for $159 (at launch), HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces, Cool, quiet operation, Requires only one 6-pin power connector, Sleek, modern looks, Most heat is exhausted outside the case
Excellent Performance, Good Value for Money, Comes DirectX 11 Ready, Supports Multiple Displays, Runs Cool
Impressive DirectX 10 performance at mainstream resolutions; same triple-monitor Eyefinity support as more expensive cards; smaller form factor, less power-hungry than the 5870

Cons

With only a single 6 pin power connector, you’re limited with overclocking.
Without driver improvement, will be matched or beaten by HD 4870s
DirectX 11 performance can’t really be tested until more games are available later this year

Putting together these value comparisons is harder than it looks. Oh, sure, looking at our overall value graphs and making broad generalizations is a lot of fun, but it can be quite misleading. You've gotta keep the hidden variables in mind. If this...

Both the Radeon HD 5770 and the Radeon HD 5750 are excellent products. As well as being ready for Microsoft’s new API, they give good performance, are relatively undemanding in terms of energy and aren’t too noisy. They offer full connectivity,...

I had other questions about the 5700-series beyond what the press briefing covered, and Dave Erskine got back to me with some emailed answers.Me: If you add a 2nd 5700 series card to a computer, can you run 6 monitors? Dave: Not at this time, the...

I know we got a little sidetracked after ATI dropped the HD5970 in our office, as I had promised the review of the mid-range cards next. But now, having covered all the price segments, we finally come to a very important one - the mid-range gaming...

Ultimately it seems that the 5770 is a pretty good upgrade for anyone with a card that's seen better years and the gamer's that want to play most games at near top detail levels without breaking the bank. This vanilla version isn't the best...

The performance of the HD5770 is pretty amazing, considering the modest looking hardware resources that make it all possible. One way of showing this objectively is to look at the power required to deliver the performance. The 5770 offers roughly the...

The card at a glance For our tests, HIS supplied us with their Radeon HD 5770 H577F1GDG. It’s not really an original card since it uses the ATI stock design. The size, cooler, and clocks are the same as on a standard Radeon HD 5770. The rear...
