While the PowerColor AX5770 1GBD5-PPGV2 performed well enough to play in almost all of our game titles (you might need to lower the settings a little on the DX11 titles), it only just kept up with its competition, the GTS450. We have seen the AX5770...

PowerColor's HD 5770 PCS++ is an excellent addition to the HD 5770 market. It is the only HD 5770 that comes with a Volterra voltage regulator which allows dynamic software voltage control. While this might not be of great importance for most normal...

Therefore, the dilemma comes down to the price: the 10€ you have to add for PowerColor’s PCS+ will be swiftly mourned away by the quiet, fast and very well-cooled graphics card and the free game you will receive. Those on the hunt for extravagant...

The PowerColor HD 5770 PCS+ is a good all-around video card. It's the kind of video card that you can expect to get the job done, when it comes to gaming. As far as this reviewer is concerned, the current high-end starts at the HD 5770. If you want...

Overall, the PowerColor PCS+ Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB of memory performed very strong - not quite always at the level of a Radeon HD 4890, but on occasion matching or even beating the Vapor-X from Sapphire. Performing around the level of a GTX260, but...
