Having sold my 5870 to pay off a debt, I'm left with the difficult choice.
To replace my 5870, should I crossfire two VapourX 5770's, or two referenace 5770's?
The difference is 40 pound.
 
If you're planning on overclocking them then definately go for the VX, if not 2 reference cards are just as good. Both are pretty much silent so that's not an issue, and having both a VX and an Asus they both run extremely cool with very little difference in temps.
 
I have 2 of the asus v2 'egg' cooled 5770's and they are very quiet and cool equally as well. The asus card also cones with an unlocked bios so no waranty voiding flashing needed to overclock past the normal limits and a 3 year waranty.
 
I have a the vapour x and it runs VERY cool compared to the 5770s iv seen on here and other places. Also said above if your overclocking get the vapour .

Im planning on going crossfire if nvidias new cards aint good :)
