I get 30 fps average with everything on max but it rarely drops below that. Card is at stock.
I've had mine since Feb, and they have demolished every game I have thrown at them, no stuttering, no cross-fire issues.
I got 1 second hand and the other cheap from new, £200 in total. Similar performance at 2/3 the price.
i'll be one of the people that get all the issues, trust me xD
i have'nt quite decided yet the original plan was cf 5770's but reading up about reviews and comments about the cards cf was more bad than good which put me off completely.
£119 i think the cards are now? around that anyway, 5870's around £300.. its something to consider. i don't partically care about the price difference but if the single 5870 is going to cause me less hastle i can see myself slipping towards that option.

It might be game dependant, I can just hand on heart state that I have had NO issues with any of the games I have played this year with them.
Look at it this way:
Sell your 5770 (£90) and buy a 5870 (£300ish) = outlay of £210ish
Buy additional 5770 new/2nd hand (£120/£90) = outlay of £120/£90
If the money is there, by all means spend it, but I was being frugal, meaning I also got a new HDD for the same outlay as buying a 5870.

It will be fine on that res providing you're not silly with the settings (maxing everything on crysis and such like). Crossfire was a great move for me, nigh on doubled my fps in AVP, i've also had zero problems and that's on the so called dodgy 10.7 drivers too.
Going by your sig, your current motherboard doesn't support Crossfire, as it only has one pci-e slot
If I have that right, then it'll need to be a 5870 or a 5850 (if you're happy overclocking it).
5850's can be found for £200 delivered if you look around.
Yeah no, ive already thought about that and if the performance is'nt up to my standard with these two new monitors on the single card.. i'll get a new mobo cpu and ram.. and card obviously. It's more than likely gunna be 2 5770's as im in the love with the cards to be fair. Im moving house in a week, and will be getting a bigger more spacious desk so i'll order my screens then.. and we can go from there 
I was obviously looking in the hated section for reviews on these cards eh
Edit: Ive also only got a 550w, does your 520w power both cards without any problems krooton?
I was rinsing Just Cause 2 last night, 1080p, max effects, AAx8, AFx16, smooth as butter.
