XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 1 GB DDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card HD577XZNFC

I also believe that Amazon had the incorrect image for this card when I ordered it. However, the model number was correct and I should have looked closer. It doesn't really matter as it does appear the only difference between the 577X and 577A is the type of cooler installed and no 3x Crossfire support(The 577A does look nicer though). The card installed very easily and I had no issue getting it working under Windows 7. I would make sure you download and use the latest version of drivers from ATI's website and not use the included CD. I upgraded from an Nvidia 8800 GTS and the increase in performance was significant. My Windows 7 Experience score for graphics went from 6.4 to 7.3 and I have been able to play many games at a lot higher settings than on my 8800. It isn't quite as fast as I was hoping, but I didn't want to pay the price for a 5850 or 5870 right now. So for the price I got a big jump in performance and am very happy with my purchase. Would recommend this product...Read more

I bought this Radeon 5770 to replace an aging Nvidia 8800GT 512mb. It is much faster in the two games I tried, Left 4 Dead 2 and Mass Effect 2 at 1920x1200 res with full detail. The fan on the single-slot 8800GT was quite loud so the quiet fan on Radeon 5770 was a welcome addition (btw, this is the newer revision "egg-shaped" cooler). My PC dual-purposes as a gaming and HTPC, so HDMI and on-board audio was a must. While ATI's Catalyst Control Center is nowhere near as intuitive as the Nvidia counter-part, I was able to get everything setup how I wanted using a 42" Panasonic Viera plasma tv (hdmi), and a 24" Soyo monitor (dvi). I did find out that I could not plug in a 3rd monitor (2 DVI, 1 HDMI) unless I used the DisplayPort connection. Bummer. DVI to VGA converter and PCI-E to molex power adapter are included. Great bang-for-the-buck card.

Searching for a new video card can be a daunting process, but I didn't need to search any further after finding the XFX HD 5770 PCIe video card.

When looking to upgrade video cards for my wife's Dell, I was limited by the fact that the machine only has a single six-pin video card power plug. Most of the newer and more powerful cards require multiple power connections to run - this 5770 did not. So not only did I get a card that met my power and space requirements, I got a DirectX 11 compatible card with stellar performance. For the money, I am not sure that there is a better card out there - I definitely did not see a comparable card with an nVidia chip that was in this price point with this performance.

The bundle with the card is great - XFX has a great reputation in the industry and I have been pleased with their products in the past. Overall, this might be one of the best video card purchases I've made - the last time I was this impressed with a video...Read more
