Most graphic cards nowadays are so bulky and long that they don't even fit in a regular case but this one does perfectly and isn't heavy or long. It's pretty quiet and runs very cool. It's about the same performance has a HD4870. The only con is that you have to do an easy BIOS update on the card to unlock the true 800 shaders. 21 of 22 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Sapphire Radeon HD5770 Vapor-X 1 GB DDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card 100283VX-2L (Personal Computers) This Vapor-X card is much more quiet than the Sapphire Toxic HD3870 w/ Vapor-X it replaced. Silence was my number one concern, and this card delivers. The old HD3870 was audible when idle, and under load it was very loud. This new Vapor-X HD5770 is absolutely inaudible at idle, and is only very slightly audible under load. It's probably quieter under load than my old card was when idle.
Nice to have so many output options, and I really like the fact that ATI includes an audio stream with the HDMI output. Really makes things less complicated when attaching an HDTV. And of course I can run all my games at the highest settings. At the time I purchased this card, anything higher-performance would have cost exponentially more. I'm all about getting the most bang for the buck rather than getting the newest, most expensive equipment out there. And I really don't see how I would have been any happier with say an HD5870, as I doubt the performance difference would be...Read more 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Sapphire Radeon HD5770 Vapor-X 1 GB DDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card 100283VX-2L (Personal Computers) I got the vid card on friday and in 30 minutes i was playing WoW in Ultra's quality without any issue.
The installation is very easy, since it's a small card compared to other brands i had no trouble at all removing pieces or fixing anything. And finally what made me love this card is that it's really quiet! Even when playing, I tested it with Dead Space too and it looked amazing! I'm planning on getting another one for x-fire since I loved this so much! Btw I didn't have to flash the bios or anything, my card had the 800 shaders working since the beggining! |
