Single 5770 is a good bit faster than the 4850. CF 5770 gives the 5870 a good run in many cases.

meant 5850

THink i'll get a 7700 with the option of another down the line.

xfire 5770 is a lot faster than a single EDIT 5850?

Not a lot, i would personally go for 5850 and overclock it. It has been shown that overclocked it matches the 5870 so the extra shaders are not that useful apparently. And they have the exact same tesselator inside, no loss there.

Yeah but its more money though

I think the longevity of 5770 might be a problem and I wouldn't be surprised if future DX11 games tax the card badly. The 5830 would have a much longer life span IMO.

jigger: 5770 supports DX11 doesn't it? Why would it suffer longevity issues more than its peers? When will the 5830 benchmarks be out to compare? Does the 58xx series have sometihng the 57xx doesn't in terms of features that make it more likely to stand the test of time? I thought it was just faster?

2 5770s in CF have just as much longevity as a single 5800 card if not more

I think DX11 will be a struggle for 5770's. They are great in DX9 but I cant see how they could cope anywhere near as well as the 5800 with a core thats half the spec and 128 bit bus.

every dx11 game ive played on my 5750 has been fine maxxed out

Tis a good job I said future games then.

I think my CF 5770's will be better than a 5850 and almost as good as 5870 in DX11. If you meant one 5770 will not be as good as 5850\5870 in Dx11, then yes thats a given.

jigger · 14 Feb 2010 at 21:01

My point is the 5800's will probably struggle with DX11, but not as much as the 5700's

PMSL

And this revelation is based on..... :rolleyes:

er....maybe the fact that the first generation of cards for a new directX nearly always suck at it by the time it comes round to being mainstream for games

Jus' like that.

Where's my Faz

Man goes to the doc, with a strawberry growing out of his head.
Doc says, "I'll give you some cream to put on it".

Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it's Colin.

Sorry.

I'm a tad worried that if i go for a 5770 that i might get slow down at 1920x1080 in games like Bioshock 2?

rhys216 · 15 Feb 2010 at 01:02

just get a 5850.

I would...But its the money and the amount I play games.

Shame someone can't lend me a 5770 to put it through its paces.

Have got a 5770 using a Dell G2410 at 1920x1080 res and it copes in most games! Am upgrading to a 5870 vapor x in the next week or so cos of extra cash!
