They seem to be selling for about £85-£95 on the MM depending on what brand it is

5770 is an awesome card.

At first i was having trouble with my 5770 in windows 7 64 but its all sorted now.

I game at 1920 x 1200 all maxed and i set my fps to 250, even in heavy explosions and gun fire it never moves from 250

Adding my second was even better, 8xaa, ultra high detail, vsync on and everything maxed out as much as i can and still keeping either 250 or 333fps, it never moves

im on w7 64bit...are there generally problems with this combo

Sometimes I still wonder why people still treat x64 like some new voodoo, it's not like it's been around for a decade...

There are no problems however if you choose x86 over x64 you probably have problems

Well when i first put my system together i put both cards in and then installed windows and had really bad and unstable issues.

so i took 1 card out and reformatted and installed windows and it was fine until about 2-3 hours later when i got a BSOD

So after taking the card out, putting the 2nd one in and reformatting again ( just to be safe ) i installed all updates,drivers and left the graphics uninstalled.

Rebooted up the pc and let windows 7 install just the basic W7 driver, then installed the 10.5 drivers only to have crashing again, so i booted up the pc after doing a driversweep, only this time i used the drivers from the dvd that came with the card and then installed 10.5a's over the top and all was fine.

So after restarting i let the 5770 settle in for a few hours and then installed the second card, it was as easy as turning the pc on with the new card in, going to CCC and enabling CrossfireX

all has been perfect so far

hope this helps you
