5770, which ones best?

I can vouch for the sapphire, or if you want to overclock it go for the Asus cucore (voltage unlock and better cooler). I wouldn't pay an extra tenner for a 25MHz OC that you can do by sliding a bar in CCC. I have my sapphire running at 972/1300 at stock volts, very easy to do :)
 
Hmmm im not experienced at all when it comes to OC'ing. I tried it on my Q6600, it lasted 5 mins before restarting....

Which sapphire? I've never gone for ati before, always researched intel, but I cant justify the price increase for dx11..
 
Yea leaf blower coolers are terrible cant believe some people prefer those because they think it exhausts hot air out the back, that really isn't an issue in a good case.

CCC has an autotune function that will do it for you. There are two sliders (one for core clock, one for memory), you slide them upwards and run furmark for at least 10 mins. As long as temps don't go over 80C (they can go higher, but this is my safe limit) and it doesn't crash, you have a stable overclock on your card. Much easier than cpu overclocking. With the asus you can push it further by upping voltages, but it isn't really necessary.

The vapor x sapphire has a better quieter cooler, the stock one is fine though with the egg cooler, just less efficient.
 
Speaking from experience here, if you care about noise do not get the asus, personally i don't care as i don't hear it with headphones and everything. The 3 year warranty is good as is the voltage tweak but seeing as most clock well on stock voltages i can't help but think perhaps the vapor-x version is the best out there now.
 
Go for the vapour x.

Mine is excellent, and tbh would you really spend ages votage tweaking the louder cads for that little extra performance risking your card dieing a premature death and also increasing noise.

Just whack in the 5770 and enjoy.
