Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 1 GB DDR5 Dual DVI-I / HDMI / DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 100283L

I paired this GPU with 4gb of 1600mhz memory and a core i-5 750 and no doubt this thing chews up everything i throw at it pretty respectively. i can run far cry 2 maxed out with full AA/AF at 1680 x 1050 (thats the resolution of my monitor), and it runs shy over 40fps, so cranking the AA down really puts up some nice numbers for me.

with the cpu stock, i i scored ~ 10K in 3dmark vantage at 1280 x 1024, and 15K in 3dmark06 at 1280 x 1024.

i ran dirt 2 to check out the dx 11 features and the game runs extremely smooth and the detail is amazing. the Unigine bench really pulls the card to it's knees when maxed out, but then again it's a bench, however, the Uningine bench looks incredible fully maxed out, and runs an average of 24 fps for the benchmark.

for a mid-range build i highly recommend this gpu. if you decide to run two in crossfire i've heard that they can perform in some instances as good as a 5870, and in particular cases better than a...Read more

This card came with a coupon to download "dirt 2" on Steam, which I didn't expect. Fun game, by the way. Don't really know how to review something like this. It works just fine and seems like a good value. The fan doesn't make any moise that I could hear, and the directions were good. The HDMI does get sound from somewhere even though I did not connect it to my sound card with a "jumper cable." There doesn't look like there is any place to plug one in, anyway. Video quality is good.

I bought this card about 3 weeks ago. It replaced the hd3600 in my Dell studio xps 435. this card has great performance and very low power draw. The dell studio xps has only a 350 watt power supply and i have had no problems so far. i have played crysis maxed out in 1080x1920 with no problems. I usually use the dvi port, but i tried the HDMI port plugged directly to my tv. The HDMI port transmits video and sound.
